BUG/MEDIUM: h2: support uploading partial DATA frames
We currently have a problem with DATA frames when they don't fit into
the destination buffer. While it was imagined that in theory this never
happens, in practice it does when "option http-buffer-request" is set,
because the headers don't leave the target buffer before trying to read
so if the frame is full, there's never enough room.
This fix consists in reading what can be read from the frame and advancing
the input buffer. Once the contents left are only the padding, the frame
is completely processed. This also solves another problem we had which is
that it was possible to fill a request buffer beyond its reserve because
the <count> argument was not respected in h2_rcv_buf(). Thus it's possible
that some POST requests sent at once with a headers+body filling exactly a
buffer could result in "400 bad req" when trying to add headers.

BUG/MEDIUM: h2: debug incoming traffic in h2_wake()
Even after previous commit ("BUG/MEDIUM: h2: work around a connection
API limitation") there is still a problem with some requests. Sometimes
when polling for more request data while some pending data lies in the
buffer, there's no way to enter h2_recv() because the FD is not marked
ready for reading.
We need to slightly change the approach and make h2_recv() only receive
from the buffer and h2_wake() always attempt to demux if the demux is not
blocked.
However, if the connection is already being polled for reading, it will
not wake up from polling. For this reason we need to cheat and also
pretend a request for sending data, which ensures that as soon as any
direction may move, we can continue to demux. This shows that in the
long term we probably need a better way to resume an interrupted
operation at the mux level.
With this fix, no more hangups happen during uploads. Note that this
time the setup required to provoke the hangups was a bit complex :
- client is "curl" running on local host, uploading 1.7 MB of
data via haproxy
- haproxy running on local host, forwarding to a remote server
through a 100 Mbps only switch
- timeouts disabled on haproxy
- remote server made of thttpd executing a cgi reading request data
through "dd bs=10" to slow down everything.
With such a setup, around 3-5% of the connections would hang up.

BUG/MEDIUM: h2: work around a connection API limitation
The connection API permits us to enable or disable receiving on a
connection. The underlying FD layer arranges this with the polling
and the fd cache. In practice, if receiving was allowed and an end
of buffer was reached, the FD is subscribed to the polling. If later
we want to process pending data from the buffer, we have to enable
receiving again, but since it's already enabled (in polled mode),
nothing happens and the pending data remain stuck until a new event
happens on the connection to wake the FD up. This is a limitation of
the internal connection API which is not very friendly to the new mux
architecture.
The visible effect is that certain uploads to slow servers experience
truncation on timeout on their last blocks because nothing new comes
from the connection to wake it up while it's being polled.
In order to work around this, there are two solutions :
- either cheat on the connection so that conn_update_xprt_polling()
always performs a call to fd_may_recv() after fd_want_recv(), that
we can trigger from the mux by always calling conn_xprt_stop_recv()
before conn_xprt_want_recv(), but that's a bit tricky and may have
side effects on other parts (eg: SSL)
- or we refrain from receiving in the mux as soon as we're busy on
anything else, regardless of whether or not some room is available
in the receive buffer.
This patch takes the second approach above. This way once we read some
data, as soon as we detect that we're stuck, we immediately stop receiving.
This ensures the event doesn't go into polled mode for this period and
that as soon as we're unstuck we can continue. In fact this guarantees
that we can only wait on one side of the mux for a given direction. A
future improvement of the connection layer should make it possible to
resume processing of an interrupted receive operation.

BUG/MEDIUM: h2: enable recv polling whenever demuxing is possible
In order to allow demuxing when the dmux buffer is full, we need to
enable data receipt in multiple conditions. Since the conditions are a
bit complex, they have been delegated to a new function h2_recv_allowed()
which follows these rules :
- if an error or a shutdown was detected on the connection and the buffer
is empty, we must not attempt to receive
- if the demux buf failed to be allocated, we must not try to receive and
we know there is nothing pending
- if the buffer is not full, we may attempt to receive
- if no flag indicates a blocking condition, we may attempt to receive
- otherwise must may not attempt
No more truncated payloads are detected in tests anymore, which seems to
indicate that the issue was worked around. A better connection API will
have to be created for new versions to make this stuff simpler and more
intuitive.

it must call back as soon as possible to restart demuxing. Without this,
some uploaded payloads are truncated if the server does not consume them
fast enough and buffers fill up.

required on the recv() and update_poll() paths to allow to restart reading

BUG/MEDIUM: stream-int: always set SI_FL_WAIT_ROOM on CS_FL_RCV_MORE
When a stream interface tries to read data from a mux using rcv_buf(),
sometimes it sees 0 as the return value and concludes that there's no
more data while there are, resulting in the connection being polled for
more data and no new attempt being made at reading these pending data.
Now it will automatically check for flag CS_FL_RCV_MORE to know if the
mux really did not have anything available or was not able to provide
these data by lack of room in the destination buffer, and will set
SI_FL_WAIT_ROOM accordingly. This will ensure that once current data
lying in the buffer are forwarded to the other side, reading chk_rcv()
will be called to re-enable reading.
It's important to note that in practice it will rely on the mux's
update_poll() function to re-enable reading and that where the calls
are placed in the stream interface, it's not possible to perform a
new synchronous rcv_buf() call. Thus a corner case remains where the
mux cannot receive due to a full buffer or any similar condition, but
needs to be able to wake itself up to deliver pending data. This is a
limitation of the current connection/conn_stream API which will likely
need a new event subscription to at least call ->wake() asynchronously
(eg: mux->{kick,restart,touch,update} ?).
For now the affected mux (h2 only) will have to take care of the extra
logic to carefully enable polling to restart processing incoming data.

CS_FL_RCV_MORE to indicate pending data) and both must be backported to

MINOR: conn_stream: add new flag CS_FL_RCV_MORE to indicate pending data
Due to the nature of multiplexed protocols, it will often happen that
some operations are only performed on full frames, preventing any partial
operation from being performed. HTTP/2 is one such example. The current
MUX API causes a problem here because the rcv_buf() function has no way
to let the stream layer know that some data could not be read due to a
lack of room in the buffer, but that data are definitely present. The
problem with this is that the stream layer might not know it needs to
call the function again after it has made some room. And if the frame
in the buffer is not followed by any other, nothing will move anymore.
This patch introduces a new conn_stream flag CS_FL_RCV_MORE whose purpose
is to indicate on the stream that more data than what was received are
already available for reading as soon as more room will be available in
the buffer.
This patch doesn't make use of this flag yet, it only declares it. It is
expected that other similar flags may come in the future, such as reports
of pending end of stream, errors or any such event that might save the
caller from having to poll, or simply let it know that it can take some
actions after having processed data.

BUG/MEDIUM: peers: set NOLINGER on the outgoing stream interface
Since peers were ported to an applet in 1.5, an issue appeared which
is that certain attempts to close an outgoing connection are a bit
"too nice". Specifically, protocol errors and stream timeouts result
in a clean shutdown to be sent, waiting for the other side to confirm.
This is particularly problematic in the case of timeouts since by
definition the other side will not confirm as it has disappeared.
As found by Fred, this issue was further emphasized in 1.8 by commit f9ce57e ("MEDIUM: connection: make conn_sock_shutw() aware of
lingering") which causes clean shutdowns not to be sent if the fd is
marked as linger_risk, because now even a clean timeout will not be
sent on an idle peers session, and the other one will have nothing
to respond to.
The solution here is to set NOLINGER on the outgoing stream interface
to ensure we always close whenever we attempt a simple shutdown.
However it is important to keep in mind that this also underlines
some weaknesses of the shutr/shutw processing inside process_stream()
and that all this part needs to be reworked to clearly consider the
abort case, and to stop the confusion between linger_risk and NOLINGER.

small headers like :authority first, and never mark headers that

- if a client sends too large a header into a populated table, the
operation fails after the table is totally flushed and the request

BUILD: Makefile: reorder object files by size
We've added many files since last version, it was about time to reorder
the makefile to improve parallel builds by having the slower files built
first. This allows to consistently stay below 4 seconds when using a
20-core build farm.

BUG/MAJOR: threads/queue: avoid recursive locking in pendconn_get_next_strm()
pendconn_get_next_strm() is called from process_srv_queue() under the
server lock, and calls stream_add_srv_conn() with this lock held, while
the latter tries to take it again. This results in a deadlock when
a server's maxconn is reached and haproxy is built with thread support.
Willy Tarreau [Sun, 26 Nov 2017 09:50:36 +0000 (10:50 +0100)]
CLEANUP: pools: align pools on a cache line
There are just a few pools, and they're stressed a lot, so it makes
sense to dedicate them a cache line to avoid contention and to place
the lock at the beginning.
Willy Tarreau [Sun, 26 Nov 2017 09:41:47 +0000 (10:41 +0100)]
CLEANUP: fd: place the lock at the beginning of struct fdtab
The struct is not cache line aligned but at least, every time the lock
will appear in the same cache line as the fd it will benefit from being
accessed first. This improves the performance by about 2% on fd-intensive
workloads with 4 threads.
Willy Tarreau [Sun, 26 Nov 2017 07:54:31 +0000 (08:54 +0100)]
CLEANUP: cache: more efficiently pack the struct cache
By having the cache id on 33 bytes as the first member, it was
creating a hole and forcing the "hot" remaining part to be split
across two cache lines. Let's move the id at the end as it's used
only during config parsing.
Willy Tarreau [Sun, 26 Nov 2017 09:19:16 +0000 (10:19 +0100)]
MINOR: task: align the rq and wq locks
We really don't want them to share the same cache line as they are
expected to be used in parallel. Adding a 64-byte alignment here shows
a performance increase of about 4.5% on task-intensive workloads with
2 to 4 threads.

MINOR: task: keep a pointer to the currently running task
Very often when debugging, the current task's pointer isn't easy to
recover (eg: from a core file). Let's keep a copy of it, it will
likely help, especially with threads.

BUG/MINOR: threads: don't drop "extern" on the lock in include files
Commit 9dcf9b6 ("MINOR: threads: Use __decl_hathreads to declare locks")
accidently lost a few "extern" in certain lock declarations, possibly
causing certain entries to be declared at multiple places. Apparently
it hasn't caused any harm though.
The offending ones were :
- fdtab_lock
- fdcache_lock
- poll_lock
- buffer_wq_lock
[wt: the new version is 2.1 but it's useful to document the different
versions since they're found in field. There's some overlap with the
new one and they complement on certain areas. Most likely they'll
ultimately be merged.]

DOC: fix mangled version in peers protocol documentation
Tim Düsterhus noticed that the create-release script had mangled the
version in the peers protocol doc, forcing it to 1.8 due to its syntax
matching the format of an haproxy version. Let's just slightly readjust
the header not to match this by removing the word "version" and placing
it on the same line as the title.

CLEANUP: pools: rename all pool functions and pointers to remove this "2"
During the migration to the second version of the pools, the new
functions and pool pointers were all called "pool_something2()" and
"pool2_something". Now there's no more pool v1 code and it's a real
pain to still have to deal with this. Let's clean this up now by
removing the "2" everywhere, and by renaming the pool heads
"pool_head_something".
Olivier Houchard [Fri, 24 Nov 2017 15:54:05 +0000 (16:54 +0100)]
MINOR/CLEANUP: proxy: rename "proxy" to "proxies_list"
Rename the global variable "proxy" to "proxies_list".
There's been multiple proxies in haproxy for quite some time, and "proxy"
is a potential source of bugs, a number of functions have a "proxy" argument,
and some code used "proxy" when it really meant "px" or "curproxy". It worked
by pure luck, because it usually happened while parsing the config, and thus
"proxy" pointed to the currently parsed proxy, but we should probably not
rely on this.
[wt: some of these are definitely fixes that are worth backporting]
MINOR: config: Add threads support for "process" option on "bind" lines
It is now possible on a "bind" line (or a "stats socket" line) to specify the
thread set allowed to process listener's connections. For instance:
# HTTPS connections will be processed by all threads but the first and HTTP
# connection will be processed on the first thread.
bind *:80 process 1/1
bind *:443 ssl crt mycert.pem process 1/2-
MINOR: config: Add the threads support in cpu-map directive
Now, it is possible to bind CPU at the thread level instead of the process level
by defining a thread set in "cpu-map" directives. Thus, its format is now:
where <process-set> and <thread-set> must follow the format:
all | odd | even | number[-[number]]
Having a process range and a thread range in same time with the "auto:" prefix
is not supported. Only one range is supported, the other one must be a fixed
number. But it is allowed when there is no "auto:" prefix.
Because it is possible to define a mapping for a process and another for a
thread on this process, threads will be bound on the intersection of their
mapping and the one of the process on which they are attached. If the
intersection is null, no specific binding will be set for the threads.
It was a temporary directive used for development purpose. Now, CPU mapping for
at the thread level should be done using the cpu-map directive. This feature
will be added in a next commit.
MINOR: config: Support partial ranges in cpu-map directive
Now, processa and CPU ranges can be partially defined. The higher bound can be
omitted. In such case, it is replaced by the corresponding maximum value, 32 or
64 depending on the machine's word size.
By extension, It is also true for the "bind-process" directive and "process"
parameter on a "bind" or a "stats socket" line.
