It is more handy to use LIM2A in debug_parse_cli_show_dev(), as it allows to
show a custom string ("unlimited"), if a given limit value equals to 0.
normalize_rlim() handler is needed to convert properly RLIM_INFINITY to zero,
with the respect of type sizes, as rlim_t is always 4 bytes on 32bit and
64bit arch.
MINOR: debug: keep runtime capabilities in post_mortem
Let's extend postmortem to keep process runtime capabilities. This information
is gathered in feed_post_mortem_late(), as it is called just before
run_poll_loop() and we are sure at this moment, that all configuration
settings were successfully applied.
Let's extend post_mortem to store runtime process uid and gid.
This information is fed in feed_post_mortem_late(), just before calling
run_poll_loop(). Like this we are sure that all configuration settings were
successfully applied.
Process runtime information could be very useful in post_mortem, but we have to
collect it just before calling run_poll_loop(). Like this we are sure, that
we've successfully applied all configuration parameters and what we've
collected are the latest runtime settings.
The most appropraite place to collect such information is
feed_post_mortem_late(). It's called in each thread, but puts thread info in
the post_mortem only when it's in the last thread context. As it's called
under mutex lock, other threads at this moment have to wait until
feed_post_mortem_late() and another initialization functions from
per_thread_init_list will finish. The number of threads could be large. So, to
avoid spending a lot of time under the lock, let's exit immediately from
feed_post_mortem_late(), if it wasn't called in the last thread.
BUG/MEDIUM: debug/cli: fix "show threads" crashing with low thread counts
The "show threads" command introduced early in the 2.0 dev cycle uses
appctx->st1 to store its context (the number of the next thread to dump).
It goes back to an era where contexts were shared between the various
applets and the CLI's command handlers.
In fact it was already not good by then because st1 could possibly have
APPCTX_CLI_ST1_PAYLOAD (2) in it, that would make the dmup start at
thread 2, though it was extremely unlikely.
When contexts were finally cleaned up and moved to their own storage,
this one was overlooked, maybe due to using st1 instead of st2 like
most others. So it continues to rely on st1, and more recently some
new flags were appended, one of which is APPCTX_CLI_ST1_LASTCMD (16)
and is always there. This results in "show threads" to believe it must
start do dump from thread 16, and if this thread is not present, it can
simply crash the process. A tiny reproducer is:
global
nbthread 1
stats socket /tmp/sock1 level admin mode 666
$ socat /tmp/sock1 - <<< "show threads"
The fix for modern versions simply consists in assigning a context to
this command from the applet storage. We're using a single int, no need
for a struct, an int* will do it. That's valid till 2.6.
Prior to 2.6, better switch to appctx->ctx.cli.i0 or i1 which are all
properly initialized before the command is executed.
This must be backported to all stable versions.
Thanks to Andjelko Horvat for the report and the reproducer.
BUG/MINOR: do not close uninit FD in quic_test_socketops()
On startup, quic_test_socketops() is called to ensure that chosen
configuration option are compatible with UDP system stack. A dummy FD is
allocated to invoke various setsockopt() settings.
If no tests are required, FD is not allocated. In this case, close()
should not be close. This is mostly for better coding as this does not
cause any real issue for users.
MINOR: server: better mt_list usage for node migration (prev_deleted handling)
Now that mt_list v2 api was merged into haproxy's codebase in 4e65fc6 ("
MAJOR: import: update mt_list to support exponential back-off (try #2)"),
let's fix a hack in cli_parse_delete_server() which abused from mt_list
api to migrate an element from one list to another: there used to be a
tiny race there between the pop and the append operations, race that was
compensated by the fact that it was performed under full thread isolation.
However that was a bad example of the mt_list API which could have
resulted in actual bug if the code was duplicated elsewhere without thread
isolation. To fix this, we now make use of the
MT_LIST_FOR_EACH_ENTRY_LOCKED() macro which allows us to simply migrate
the current element to another list since the element is appended into
another one while still in busy state and then unlinked from the original
list.
MINOR: fd: don't scan the full fdtab on all threads
During tests, it's pretty visible that with many threads and a large
number of FDs, the process may take time to be ready. The reason for
this is that the full fdtab array is scanned by each and every thread
at boot in fd_reregister_all() in order to make each thread-local
poller adopt the FDs that are relevant to it. The problem is that
when dealing with 1-2M FDs and 64+ threads, it starts to represent
quite a number of loops, and usually the fdtab array doesn't entirely
fit in the CPU's L3 cache, causing extra memory accesses.
It's particularly visible when issuing debugging commands to the CLI
because usually the first one fails while the CPU is at 100% for half
a second (which also is socat's timeout). A quick test with this:
And the following script started in another window:
while ! time socat -t5 - /tmp/sock1 <<< "show version";do date -Ins;done
shows that it takes 1.58s for the socat instance that succeeds on an
Ampere Altra with 80 cores, this requires to change the timeout (defaults
to half a second) otherwise it returns nothing. In addition it also means
that during reloads, some CPU spikes will be noticed.
Adding a prefetch of the current FD + 16 improves the startup time by 30%
but that's far from being sufficient.
In practice all of this is performed at boot time, a moment at which we
know that extremely few FDs are registered (basically just the listeners),
so FD numbers are usually very low and the rest of the table is scanned
for no benefit. Ideally, knowing upfront how many FDs we have should be
sufficient.
A first approach would consist in counting the entries on a single thread
before registering pollers. It's not necessarily efficient and would take
time anyway.
This patch takes a different approach. It consists in keeping a thread-local
max ("fd_highest") that is updated whenever fd_insert() is called with a
larger number. Of course this is not correct once all threads have started,
but it will remain valid during boot since the same value is used during
startup and is cloned for each thread, and no scheduling happens anywhere
during this period, so that all threads are aware of the highest FD they've
seen registered, even if it had been done in some init code, and this without
having to deal with a shared variable.
Here on the test platform, the script gets its response in 10ms vs 1580
before.
BUILD: mux-spop: fix build failure on gcc 4-10 and clang
A label at end of block was added in mux_spop.c in function

Let's just add a return there to make the compiler happy. No backport
is needed.
DOC: spoe: Update SPOE documentation to reflect recent refactoring
The SPOE was refactored. Several parameters were deprecated. Fragmentation
and async capabilities support were removed. The default log-format was
updated too.
So, the SPOE documentation was updated accordingly.
MEDIUM: spoe: Make the SPOE applet use its own buffers
The SPOE applet is rewritten to use its own buffers. It is not a huge change
because, once started, the only responsibility of the SPOE applet is to
transfer the ACK frame to the SPOE filter. So it means it does not send any
data to the opposite endpoint, the NOTIFY frame was already transferred
during the applet creation. And it does only receive one full frame. Once
received, it can exit.
MEDIUM: spoe: Forward SPOE context error to the SPOE applet
Errors triggered by a SPOE filter intance, mainly the processing timeout, are
now forwarded to the SPOE applet. This way, an error can be reported to the SPOP
mux stream to abort it early.
Note that, for now, no abort reaon is set because the SPOP connection is not
closed. Only the SPOP stream is aborted. But thanks to this patch, the SPOE
applet can be released immediately, instead of waiting for the ACK frame or an
error on the mux side.
MEDIUM: mux-spop: Announce the pipeling support if possible
Reintroduce the pipelining support. Everyting was alredy in place to be able
to multiplex the streams on a SPOP connection. Here, the pipelining support
is annonced and checked in the agent replies. A hard-coded limit to 20
streams is set if the pipelining is supported on both sides. Otherwise, it
is disabled and only one stream at a time is allowed.
Some conformance checks on received frames are added with this patch. Idea
is to detect invalid frames and ignore unknown ones if possible. All checks
are performed on the frame metatdata, mainly on the stream and the frame
identifiers.
MEDIUM: mux-spop/spoe: Save negociated max-frame-size value in the mux
The SPOE applet is just a pass-through now. It is no longer reponsible to
check the frame size. On the other hand, the SPOP multiplexer negociate the
maximum frame size with the agent. So, it seems logical to store this
negociated value in the mux and no longer in the applet context.
MEDIUM: spoe: Directly receive ACK frame in the SPOE context buffer
Just like the previous patch, here we avoid a buffer copy between the SPOE
applet and the SPOE filter for the ACK reply. The buffer from the SPOE
context is used to retrieve the ACK reply from the channel response buffer.
MEDIUM: spoe: Directly xfer NOTIFY frame when SPOE applet is created
Instead of using a buffer from the SPOE filter to store the NOTIFY frame, to
copy it in a trash buffer in the SPOE applet to add meta-data and then tranfer
it to the channel, the original buffer is directly transfered to the channel
during the SPOE applet creation.
The SPOE applet is thus simplied, the I/O handler is now only responsible to
retrieve the ACK reply.
MINOR: stats-html: Display reuse ratio for spop connections
Now SPOP connections can be reused, it could be pretty useful to know the
reuse rate. The corresponding backend and server counters are already
incremented, but not displayed on the stats HTML page. Thanks to this patch,
it is now possible to get it, just like for HTTP proxies.
MAJOR: mux-spop: Make the SPOP connections reusable
Thanks to this patch, SPOP connections can now be inserted in idle
connections list of the server or the session. There is no multiplexing by
SPOP connecitons can be reused. It is the same mechanics than for other
muxes. Noting really new. But it is a huge improvement.
MINOR: mux-spop: Use a dedicated function to update the SPOP connection timeout
Force the SPOP servers to use the SPOE engine identifier as pool connection
name. This way, idle SPOP connections, once implemented, of different engine
but using the same backend will not be mixed up.
MEDIUM: spoe: Force the reuse 'always' mode for SPOP backends
The reuse "always" mode is forced for SPOP backends. For now, SPOP
connections cannot be idle, but once implemented, thanks to this patch, it
will be possible to reuse SPOP connections.
MINOR: backend: Remove test on HTX streams to reuse idle connections on connect
In connect_server() function, there is a test to be able to reuse idle
connections for HTX streams only. Till now, only HTTP connections can be
idle. And this tests was added to be sure to now reuse idle connections for
legacy HTTP streams. But the legacy HTTP was removed in HAProxy-2.1. So we
can safely remove this test.
MEDIUM: spoe: Set a specific name for the connection pool of SPOP servers
With this patch, we force the connection pool name of SPOP server to the
SPOE engine identifier. This way, SPOP idle connections cannot be shared
between diffrente engines.
MINOR: spoe: Add internal sample fetch to retrieve the SPOE engine ID
The internal sample fetch "spoe.engine-id" is added. It may be used to
retrieve the current engine identifier, but only if the client endpoint is
an SPOE applet. For now, this sample is not documented. It will only be used
to set the connection pool name for a specific engine. This way, several
engine can use the same SPOP backend without sharing their idle connections.
The documentation will be added later, mainly because other SPOE sample
fetches will be added, and some changes are expected.
MAJOR: spoe: Rewrite SPOE applet to use the SPOP mux
It is the huge part of the series. The patch is not so huge, it removes
functions to produce or consume frames. The SPOE applet is pretty light
now. But since this patch, the SPOP multiplexer is now used. The SPOP mode
is now automatically ised for SPOP backends. So if there are bugs in the
SPOP multiplexer, they will be visible now.
MEDIUM: check/spoe: Use SPOP multiplexer to perform SPOP health-checks
The SPOP health-checks are now performed using the SPOP multiplexer. This
will be fixed later, but for now, it is considered as a L4 health-check and
no specific status code is reported. It means the corresponding vtest script
is marked as broken for now.
Functionnaly speaking, the same is performed. A connection is opened, a
HELLO frame is sent to the agent and we wait for the HELLO frame from the
agent in reply. But only L4OK, L4KO or L4TOUT will be reported.
It is no possible yet to use it. Idles connections and pipelining mode are
not supported for now. But it should be possible to open a SPOP connection,
perform the HELLO handshake, send a NOTIFY frame based on data produced by
the client side and receive the corresponding ACK frame to transfer its
content to the client side.
MINOR: spoe: Move all stuff regarding the filter/applet in the C file
Structures describing the SPOE applet context, the SPOE filter configuration
and context and the SPOE messages and groups are moved in the C file. In
spoe-t.h file, it remains the structure describing an SPOE agent and flags
used by both sides.
In addition, the SPOE frontend, created for a given SPOE engine, is moved
from the SPOE filter configuration to the SPOE agent structure.
MINOR: spoe: Dynamically alloc the message list per event of an agent
The inline array used to store, the configured messages per event in the
SPOE agent structure, is replaced by a dynamic array, allocated during the
configuration parsing. The main purpose of this change is to be able to move
all stuff regarding the SPOE filter and applet in the C file.
MINOR: spoe: Rename some flags and constant to use SPOP prefix
A SPOP multiplexer will be added. Many flags, constants and structures will
be remove from the applet scope. So the "SPOP" prefix is used instead of
"SPOE", to be consistent.
MINOR: stconn: Use a dedicated function to get the opposite sedesc
se_opposite() function is added to let an endpoint retrieve the opposite
endpoint descriptor. Muxes supportng the zero-copy forwarding can now use
it. The se_shutdown() function too. This will be use by the SPOP multiplexer
to be able to retrieve the SPOE agent configuration attached to the applet
on client side.
MEDIUM: applet: Add a .shut callback function for applets
Applets can now define a shutdown callback function, just like the
multiplexer. It is especially usefull to get the abort reason. This will be
pretty useful to get the status code from the SPOP stream to report it at
the SPOe filter level.
The SPOE was significantly lightened. It is now possible to refactor it to
use a dedicated multiplexer. The first step is to add a SPOP mode for
proxies. The corresponding multiplexer mode is also added.
For now, there is no SPOP multiplexer, so it is only declarative. But at the
end, the SPOP multiplexer will be automatically selected for servers inside
a SPOP backend.
MAJOR: spoe: Remove idle applets and pipelining support
Management of idle applets is removed. Consequently, the pipelining support
is also removed. It is a huge change but it should be transparent for the
agents, except regarding the performances. Of course, being able to reuse
already openned connections and being able to multiplex frames on a given
connection is a must have. These features will be restored later.
hello and idle timeout are not longer used. Because an applet is spawned to
process a NOTIFY frame and closed after receiving the ACK reply, the
processing timeout is the only one required. In addition, the parameters to
limit the SPOE applet creation are no longer used too.
All the SPOE debugging is removed. The code will be easier to rework this
way and the debugging will be mainly moved in the SPOP multiplexter via the
trace API.
MINOR: spoe: Use only a global engine-id per agent
Because the async mode was removed, it is no longer mandatory to announce a
different engine identifiers per thread for a given SPOE agent. This was
used to be sure requests and the corresponding responses are stuck on the
same thread.
So, now, a SPOE agent only announces one engine identifier on all
connections. No changes should be expected for agents.
The support for asynchronous mode, the ability to send messages on a
connection and receive the responses on any other connections, is removed.
It appears this feature was a bit overkill. And it is a problem for this
refactoring. This feature is removed and will not be restored at the end.
It is not a big deal for agent supporting the async mode because it is
usable if it is announced on both sides. HAProxy stops to announce it. This
should be transparent for agents.
It is the first patch of a long series to refactor the SPOE filter. The idea
is to rely on a dedicated multiplexer instead of hakcing HAProxy with a list
of applets processing a message queue.
First of all, optionnal features will be removed. Some will be restored at
the end, some others will just be removed. It is the case here. The frame
fragmentation support is removed. The only purpose of this feature is to be
able to support the streaming. Because it is out of the scope of this
refactoring, the fragmentation is removed.
BUG/MINOR: session: Eval L4/L5 rules defined in the default section
It is possible to define TCP/HTTP rules in a named default section to
inherit from it in a proxy. However, there is an issue with L4/L5 rules.
Only the lists of the current frontend are checked to know if an eval must
be performed. Nothing is done for an empty list. Of course, the lists of the
default proxy must also be checked to be sure to not ignored default L4/L5
rules. It is now fixed.
This patch should fix the issue #2637. It must be backported as far as 2.6.
This commit is the renaming counterpart of the previous one, this time
for quic_conn module. Several elements related to TID affinity update
from quic_conn has been renamed : public functions, but also flag
renamed to QUIC_FL_CONN_TID_REBIND and trace event to
QUIC_EV_CONN_BIND_TID.
This should be backported with the same instruction as the previous
commit.
Since the following patch, protocol API to update a connection TID
affinity has been extended.
commit 1a43b9f32c71267e3cb514aa70a13c75adb20742
MINOR: proto: extend connection thread rebind API
The single callback set_affinity has been splitted in 3 different
functions which are called at different stages during listener_accept(),
depending on accept queue push success or not. However, the naming was
rendered confusing by the usage of function prefix 1 and 2.
Rename proto callback related to TID affinity update and use the
following names :
This commit should probably be backported at least up to 3.0 with the
above patch. This is because the fix was recently backported and it
would allow to keep changes minimal between the two versions. It could
even be backported up to 2.8 if there is no major conflict.
BUG/MEDIUM: bwlim: Be sure to never set the analyze expiration date in past
Every time a bandwidth limitation is evaluated on a channel, the analyze
expiration date is renewed, mainly based on the internal bandwidth
limitation filter expiration date. However, when the filter is called while
there is no data to filter, we skip all limitation computations to jump at
the end of the function. At this stage, the analyze expiration date is
renewed before exiting. But here the internal expiration date may be expired
and not reset.
To sum up, it is possible to set the analyze expiration date of a channel in
the past. It is unexpected and this could lead to a loop in process_stream.
To fix the issue, we just now take care to reset the internal expiration
date, if needed, before exiting.
This patch should fix the issue #2634. It must be backported as far as 2.8.
MINOR: quic: add counters of sent bytes with and without GSO
Add a sent bytes counter for each quic_conn instance. A secondary field
which only account bytes sent via GSO which is useful to ensure if this
is activated.
For the moment, these counters are reported on "show quic" but not
aggregated on proxy quic module stats.
UDP GSO on Linux is not implemented in every network devices. For
example, this is not available for veth devices frequently used in
container environment. In such case, EIO is reported on send()
invocation.
It is impossible to test at startup for proper GSO support in this case
as a listener may be bound on multiple network interfaces. Furthermore,
network interfaces may change during haproxy lifetime.
As such, the only option is to react on send syscall error when GSO is
used. The purpose of this patch is to implement a fallback when
encountering such conditions. Emission can be retried immediately by
trying to send each prepared datagrams individually.
To support this, qc_send_ppkts() is able to iterate over each datagram
in a so-called non-GSO fallback mode. Between each emission, a datagram
header is rewritten in front of the buffer which allows the sending loop
to proceed until last datagram is emitted.
To complement this, quic_conn listener is flagged on first GSO send
error with value LI_F_UDP_GSO_NOTSUPP. This completely disables GSO for
all future emission with QUIC connections using this listener.
For the moment, non-GSO fallback mode is activated when EIO is reported
after GSO has been set. This is the error reported for the veth usage
described above.
Amaury Denoyelle [Thu, 30 May 2024 13:15:14 +0000 (15:15 +0200)]
MAJOR: quic: support GSO when encoding datagrams
QUIC datagrams are encoded during emission via the function
qc_prep_pkts(). By default, if GSO is not used, each datagram is
prefixed by a metadata header which specify its length and address of
its first quic_tx_packet instance.
If GSO is activated, metadata header won't be inserted for datagrams
following the first one sent in a single syscall. Length field will
contain the total size of these datagrams. This allows to support both
GSO and non-GSO prepared datagram in the same Tx buffer.
qc_send_ppkts() is invoked just after datagrams encoding. It iterates
over each metadata header in Tx buffer to sent each datagram
individually. If length field is bigger than network MTU, GSO usage is
assumed and qc_snd_buf() GSO parameter will be set.
Another important point to note regarding GSO implementation is that
during datagram encoding, packets from the same datagram instance are
attached together. However, if using GSO, consecutive packets from
different datagrams are also linked, but without
QUIC_FL_TX_PACKET_COALESCED flag. This allows to properly update
quic_conn status with all sent packets in qc_send_ppkts(). Packets from
different datagrams are then unlinked to treat them separately when
receiving corresponding ACK frames.

MINOR: quic: add GSO parameter on quic_sock send API
Add <gso_size> parameter to qc_snd_buf(). When non-null, this specifies
the value for socket option SOL_UDP/UDP_SEGMENT. This allows to send
several datagrams in a single call by splitting data multiple times at
<gso_size> boundary.
For now, <gso_size> remains set to 0 by caller, as such there should not
be any functional change.
Amaury Denoyelle [Thu, 30 May 2024 12:49:46 +0000 (14:49 +0200)]
MINOR: quic: define quic_cc_path MTU as constant
Future commits will implement GSO support to be able to emit multiple
datagrams in a single syscall invocation. This will be used every time
there is more data to sent than the UDP network MTU.
No change will be done for Tx buffer encoding, in particular when using
extra metadata datagram header. When GSO will be used, length field will
contain the total length of all datagrams to emit in a single GSO
syscall send. As such, QUIC send functions will detect that GSO is in
use if total length is greater than MTU.
This last assumption forces to ensure that MTU is constant. Indeed, in
case qc_send() is interrupted, Tx buffer will be left with prepared
datagrams. These datagrams will be emitted at the next qc_send()
invocation. If MTU would change during these two calls, it would be
impossible to know if GSO was used or not. To prevent this, mark <mtu>
field of quic_cc_path as constant.

MINOR: quic: activate UDP GSO for QUIC if supported
Add a startup test for GSO support in quic_test_socketopts() and
automatically activate it in qc_prep_pkts() when building datagrams as
big as MTU.
Also define a new config option tune.quic.disable-udp-gso. This is
useful to prevent warning on older platform or to debug an issue which
may be related to GSO.
Amaury Denoyelle [Wed, 26 Jun 2024 15:09:08 +0000 (17:09 +0200)]
MINOR: quic: extend detection of UDP API OS features
QUIC haproxy implementation relies on specific OS features to activate
some UDP optimization. One of these is the ability to bind multiple
sockets on the same address, which is necessary to have a dedicated
socket for each QUIC connections. This feature support is tested during
startup via an internal proto-quic function. It automatically deactivate
socket per connection if OS is not compatible.
The purpose of this patch is to render this QUIC feature detection code
more generic. Function is renamed quic_test_socketopts() and is still
invoked on startup. Its internal code has been refactored to be able to
implement other features support test in it.
Return value has also been changed and is now taken into account. In
case of ERR_FATAL, haproxy startup will be interrupted. This happens on
socket() syscall failure used to duplicate a QUIC listener FD.
This commit will become necessary to detect GSO support on startup.
Let's encapsulate the check of all supported for now process internal limits in
a separate function. This will help in cases, when we need to simply check if
we have even only one limit set in the configuration file. It's important, as
the default value for a one limit (fd-hard-limits, for example) sometimes must
not affect the computation of the others.
MINOR: haproxy: prepare to move limits-related code
This patch is done in order to prepare the move of handlers to compute and to
check process related limits as maxconn, maxsock, maxpipes.
So, these handlers become no longer static due to the future move.
We add the handlers declarations in limits.h in this patch as well, in order to
keep the next patch, dedicated to code replacement, without any additional
modifications.
Such split also assures that this patch can be compiled separately from the
next one, where we moving the handlers. This is important in case of
git-bisect.
As raise_rlim_nofile() was moved to limits compilation unit, limits.h includes
the system <sys/resource.h>. So, this definition of rlimit system type
structure is no longer need for compilation of fd unit.
MINOR: limits: prepare to keep limits in one place
The code which gets, sets and checks initial and current fd limits and process
related limits (maxconn, maxsock, ulimit-n, fd-hard-limit) is spread around
different functions in haproxy.c and in fd.c. Let's group it together in
dedicated limits.c and limits.h.
This patch is done in order to prepare the moving of limits-related functions
from different places to the new 'limits' compilation unit. It helps to keep
clean the next patch, which will do only the move without any additional
modifications.
Such detailed split is needed in order to be sure not to break accidentally
limits logic and in order to be able to compile each commit separately in case
of git-bisect.

DOC: architecture: remove the totally outdated architecture manual
We've discussed about removing it many times and I thought it had been
removed long ago, but apparently not as William proved me. Let's get
rid of it now. It's totally outdated (last updated 18 years ago, when
laptop processors were still 32 bits), mentions keywords and external
products that don't exist anymore. It's not even on docs.haproxy.org.
At some point, old stuff must really die.
BUILD: listener: silence a build warning about unused value without threads
A variable introduced in commit 1a43b9f32c ("MINOR: proto: extend
connection thread rebind API") is not used without threads and causes a
build warning. Let's just mark it maybe_unused.
Since the commit above is tagged for backporting, this one will need to
be backported along with it.
BUG/MEDIUM: spoe: Be sure to create a SPOE applet if none on the current thread
When a message is queued, waiting to be processed by a SPOE applet, there
are some heuristic to know if a new applet must be created or not. There are
2 conditions to skip the applet creation:
1 - if there are enough idle applets on the current thread, or,
2 - if the processing rate on the current thread is high enough to handle
this new message
In the 2nd case, there is a flaw when the number of processed messages falls
to zero while the processing rate is still greater than zero. In that case,
we will skip the SPOE applet creation without taking care to check there is
at least one applet on the current thread.
So now, the conditions above to skip the SPOE applet creation are only
evaluated if there is at least one applet on the current thread.
This patch must be backported to every stable versions.
The Transfer-Encoding headers list the transfer coding that have been
applied to the content in order to form the message body. It is a list of
tokens. And as specified by RFC 9110, a token cannot be empty. When several
coding names are specify as a comma-separated value, this case is properly
handled and an error is triggered. However, an empty header value will just
be skipped and no error is triggered. This could be an issue with some buggy
servers.
Now, empty Transfer-Encoding header are rejected too.
BUG/MINOR: h1: Fail to parse empty transfer coding names
Empty transfer coding names, inside a comma-separated list, are already
rejected. But it is only by chance. Today, it is detected as an unknown
coding names (not "chunked" concretly). Then, it is handled by the H1
multiplexer as an error and a 422-Unprocessable-Content response is
returned.
So, the error is properly detected in this case, but it is not accurate. A
400-bad-request response must be returned instead. Then, it is better to
catch the error during the header parsing. It is the purpose of this patch.

MAJOR: import: update mt_list to support exponential back-off (try #2)
This is the second attempt at importing the updated mt_list code (commit 59459ea3). The previous one was attempted with commit c618ed5ff4 ("MAJOR:
import: update mt_list to support exponential back-off") but revealed
problems with QUIC connections and was reverted.
The problem that was faced was that elements deleted inside an iterator
were no longer reset, and that if they were to be recycled in this form,
they could appear as busy to the next user. This was trivially reproduced
with this:
This was purely an API issue caused by the simplified usage of the macros
for the iterator. The original version had two backups (one full element
and one pointer) that the user had to take care of, while the new one only
uses one that is transparent for the user. But during removal, the element
still has to be unlocked if it's going to be reused.
All of this sparked discussions with Fred and Aurélien regarding the still
unclear state of locking. It was found that the lock API does too much at
once and is lacking granularity. The new version offers a much more fine-
grained control allowing to selectively lock/unlock an element, a link,
the rest of the list etc.
It was also found that plenty of places just want to free the current
element, or delete it to do anything with it, hence don't need to reset
its pointers (e.g. event_hdl). Finally it appeared obvious that the
root cause of the problem was the unclear usage of the list iterators
themselves because one does not necessarily expect the element to be
presented locked when not needed, which makes the unlock easy to overlook
during reviews.
The updated version of the list presents explicit lock status in the
macro name (_LOCKED or _UNLOCKED suffixes). When using the _LOCKED
suffix, the caller is expected to unlock the element if it intends to
reuse it. At least the status is advertised. The _UNLOCKED variant,
instead, always unlocks it before starting the loop block. This means
it's not necessary to think about unlocking it, though it's obviously
not usable with everything. A few _UNLOCKED were used at obvious places
(i.e. where the element is deleted and freed without any prior check).
Interestingly, the tests performed last year on QUIC forwarding, that
resulted in limited traffic for the original version and higher bit
rate for the new one couldn't be reproduced because since then the QUIC
stack has gaind in efficiency, and the 100 Gbps barrier is now reached
with or without the mt_list update. However the unit tests definitely
show a huge difference, particularly on EPYC platforms where the EBO
provides tremendous CPU savings.
Overall, the following changes are visible from the application code:
- mt_list_for_each_entry_safe() + 1 back elem + 1 back ptr
=> MT_LIST_FOR_EACH_ENTRY_LOCKED() or MT_LIST_FOR_EACH_ENTRY_UNLOCKED()
+ 1 back elem
- MT_LIST_DELETE_SAFE() no longer needed in MT_LIST_FOR_EACH_ENTRY_UNLOCKED()
=> just manually set iterator to NULL however.
For MT_LIST_FOR_EACH_ENTRY_LOCKED()
=> mt_list_unlock_self() (if element going to be reused) + NULL
OPTIM: pool: improve needed_avg cache line access pattern
On an AMD EPYC 3rd gen, 20% of the CPU is spent calculating the amount
of pools needed when using QUIC, because pool allocations/releases are
quite frequent and the inter-CCX communication is super slow. Still,
there's a way to save between 0.5 and 1% CPU by using fetch-add and
sub-fetch that are converted to XADD so that the result is directly
fed into the swrate_add argument without having to re-read the memory
area. That's what this patch does.
MINOR: ssl/sample: ssl_c_san returns a comma separated list of SAN
The ssl_c_san sample fetch returns a list of Subject Alt Name which was
presented by the client certificate.
The format is the same as the "openssl x509 -text" command, it's a
Description: Value list separated by commas.
The format is directly generated by the GENERAL_NAME_print() openssl
function.
BUG/MEDIUM: init: fix fd_hard_limit default in compute_ideal_maxconn
This commit fixes 41275a691 ("MEDIUM: init: set default for fd_hard_limit via
DEFAULT_MAXFD").
fd_hard_limit is taken in account implicitly via 'ideal_maxconn' value in
all maxconn adjustements, when global.rlimit_memmax is set:
MIN(global.maxconn, capped by global.rlimit_memmax, ideal_maxconn);
It also caps provided global.rlimit_nofile, if it couldn't be set as a current
process fd limit (see more details in the main() code).
So, lets set the default value for fd_hard_limit only, when there is no any
other haproxy-specific limit provided, i.e. rlimit_memmax, maxconn,
rlimit_nofile. Otherwise we may break users configs.
Please, note, that in master-worker mode, master does not need the
DEFAULT_MAXFD (1048576) as well, as we explicitly limit its maxconn to 100.
Must be backported in all stable versions until v2.6.0, including v2.6.0,
like the commit above.

MINOR: quic: rename "ssl error" trace

BUG/MEDIUM: peers: Fix crash when syncing learn state of a peer without appctx
For a given peer, the synchronization of the learn state is no longer
performed in the peer appctx. It is delayed to be handled by the peers sync
task. It means that for a given peer, it is possible to have finished to
learn and only handle it after the appctx release. So the synchronization
may happen on a peer without appctx.
This was not tested and an unconditionnal wakeup on the appctx could lead to
a crash because of a NULL-deref. It may be experienced by running
reg-tests/peers/tls_basic_sync.vtc script in loop. The fix is obivous. In
sync_peer_learn_state(), we must omit to wakeup the appctx if it was already
released.
This patch should fix issue #2629. It must be backported to 3.0.
BUG/MEDIUM: quic: prevent crash on accept queue full
Handshake for quic_conn instances runs on a single non-chosen thread. On
completion, listener_accept() is performed to select the less loaded
thread before initializing connection instance. As such, quic_conn
instance is migrated to the thread with its upper connection.
In case accept queue is full, listener_accept() fallback to local accept
mode, which cause the connection to be assigned to the current thread.
However, this is not supported by QUIC as quic_conn instance is left on
the previously selected thread. In most cases, this will cause a
BUG_ON() due to a task manipulation from an outside thread.
To fix this, handle quic_conn thread rebind in multiple steps using the
new extended protocol API. Several operations have been moved from
qc_set_tid_affinity1() to newly defined qc_set_tid_affinity2(), in
particular CID TID update. This ensures that quic_conn instance is not
prematurely accessed on the new thread until accept queue push is
guaranteed to succeed.
qc_reset_tid_affinity() is also newly defined to reassign the newly
created tasks and tasklets to the current thread. This is necessary to
prevent the BUG_ON() crash described above.
This must be backported up to 2.8 after a period of observation. Note
that it depends on previous patch :
MINOR: proto: extend connection thread rebind API
MINOR: listener: define callback for accept queue push
Extend API for connection thread rebind API by replacing single callback
set_affinity by three different ones. Each one of them is used at a
different stage of the operation :
* set_affinity1 is used similarly to previous set_affinity
* set_affinity2 is called directly from accept_queue_push_mp() when an
entry has been found in accept ring. This operation cannot fail.
* reset_affinity is called after set_affinity1 in case of failure from
accept_queue_push_mp() due to no space left in accept ring. This is
necessary for protocols which must reconfigure resources before
fallback on the current tid.
This patch does not have any functional changes. However, it will be
required to fix crashes for QUIC connections when accept queue ring is
full. As such, it must be backported with it.
Let's update maxconn keyword description, in order to make it clear, which
setting has the precedence over the global.maxconn and the SYSTEM_MAXCONN if
set.
MEDIUM: init: set default for fd_hard_limit via DEFAULT_MAXFD
Let's provide a default value for fd_hard_limit, if it's not set in the
configuration. With this patch we could set some specific default via
compile-time variable DEFAULT_MAXFD as well. Hope, this will be helpfull for
haproxy package maintainers.
make -j 8 TARGET=linux-glibc DEBUG=-DDEFAULT_MAXFD=50000
If haproxy is comipled without DEFAULT_MAXFD defined, the default will be set
to 1048576.
This is done to avoid killing the process by its watchdog, while it started
without any limitations in its configuration or in the command line and the
hard RLIMIT_NOFILE is extremely huge (~1000000000). We use in this case
compute_ideal_maxconn() to calculate maxconn and maxsock, maxsock defines the
size of internal fdtab, which becames very-very large as well. When
the process starts to simply loop over this fdtab (0(n)), this takes a lot of
time, so watchdog does it job.
To avoid this, maxconn now is always reduced to some reasonable value either
by explicit global.fd-hard-limit from configuration, or by its default. The
default may be changed at build-time and overwritten then by
global.fd-hard-limit at runtime. Explicit global.fd-hard-limit from the
configuration has always precedence over DEFAULT_MAXFD, if set.
Must be backported in all stable versions until v2.6.0, including v2.6.0.
MINOR: quic: ensure quic_conn is never removed on thread affinity rebind
On accept, quic_conn instance is migrated from its original thread to a
new one. This operation is conducted in two steps, on the original than
the new thread instance. During the interval, quic_conn is artificially
rendered inactive. It must never be accessed nor removed until migration
is completed via qc_finalize_affinity_rebind(). This new BUG_ON() will
enforce that removal is never conducted until migration is completed.
QUIC datagram dispatch is an error prone operation as it must always
ensure the correct thread is used before accessing to the recipient
quic_conn instance. Strengthen this code part by adding two BUG_ON_HOT()
to ensure thread safety.

MINOR: quic: remove access to CID global tree outside of quic_cid module
haproxy generates for each QUIC connection a set of CID. The peer must
reuse them as DCID for its emitted packet. On datagram reception, DCID
field serves as identifier to dispatch them on their correct thread.
These CIDs are stored in a global CID tree. Access to this data
structure must always be protected with CID_LOCK. This commit is a
refactoring to regroup all CID tree access in quic_cid module. Several
code parts are ajusted :
* quic_cid_insert() is extended to check for insertion race-condition.
This is useful on quic_conn instantiation. Code where such race cannot
happen can use unsafe _quic_cid_insert() instead.
* on RETIRE_CONNECTION_ID frame reception, existing quic_cid_delete()
function is used.
* remove tree lookup from qc_check_dcid(), extracted in the new
quic_cmp_cid_conn() function. Ultimately, the latter should be removed
as CID lookup could be conducted on quic_conn owned tree without
locking.
BUG/MINOR: jwt: don't try to load files with HMAC algorithm
When trying to use a HMAC algorithm (HS256, HS384, HS512) the
sample_conv_jwt_verify_check() function of the converter tries to load a
file even if it is only supposed to contain a secret instead of a path.
When using lua, the check function is called at runtime so it even tries
to load file at each call... This fixes the issue for HMAC algorithm
but this is still a problem with the other algorithms, since we don't
have a way of pre-loading files before the call.
Another solution must be found to prevent disk IO with lua using other
algorithms.

The following patch fixes a race condition during server addr/port
update : cd994407a9545a8d84e410dc0cc18c30966b70d8
BUG/MAJOR: server/addr: fix a race during server addr:svc_port updates
The new update mechanism is implemented via an event update. It uses
thread isolation to guarantee that no other thread is accessing server
addr/port. Furthermore, to ensure server instance is not deleted just
before the event handler, server instance is lookup via its ID in proxy
tree.
However, thread isolation is only entered after server lookup. This
leaves a tiny race condition as the thread will be marked as harmless
and a concurrent thread can delete the server in the meantime. This
causes server_atomic_sync() to manipulated a deleted server instance to
reinsert it in used_server_addr backend tree. This can cause a segfault
during this operation or possibly on a future used_server_addr tree
access.
This issue was detected by criteo. Several backtraces were retrieved,
each related to server addr_node insert or delete operation, either in
srv_set_addr_desc(), or add/delete dynamic server handlers.
To fix this, simply extend thread isolation section to start it before
server lookup. This ensures that once retrieved the server cannot be
deleted until its addr/port are updated. To ensure this issue won't
happen anymore, a new BUG_ON() is added in srv_set_addr_desc().
Also note that ebpt_delete() is now called every time on delete handler
as this is a safe idempotent operation.
To reproduce these crashes, a script was executed to add then remove
different servers every second. In parallel, the following CLI command
was issued repeatdly without any delay to force multiple update on
servers port :
set server <srv> addr 0.0.0.0 port $((1024 + RANDOM % 1024))

backported on them.
BUG/MEDIUM: hlua/cli: Fix lua CLI commands to work with applet's buffers
In 3.0, the CLI applet was rewritten to use its own buffers. However, the
lua part, used to register CLI commands at runtime, was not updated
accordingly. It means the lua CLI commands still try to write in the channel
buffers. This is of course totally unexepected and not supported. Because of
this bug, the applet hangs intead of returning the command result.
The registration of lua CLI commands relies on the lua TCP applets. So the
send and receive functions were fixed to use the applet's buffer when it is
required and still use the channel buffers otherwies. This way, other lua
TCP applets can still run on the legacy mode, without the applet's buffers.
