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.
This fix needs to be backported as far as 1.5 (all versions are affected).
However, during testing of the backport it was found that 1.5 never tries
to close the peers connection on timeout, so it suffers for another issue.

BUG/MEDIUM: mworker: also close peers sockets in the master
There's a nasty case related to signaling all processes via SIGUSR1.
Since the master process still holds the peers sockets, the old process
trying to connect to the new one to teach it its tables has a risk to
connect to the master instead, which will not do anything, causing the
old process to hang instead of quitting.
This patch ensures we correctly close the peers in the master process
on startup, just like it is done for proxies. Ultimately we would rather
have a complete list of listeners to avoid such issues. But that's a bit
trickier as it would require using unbind_all() and avoiding side effects
the master could cause to other processes (like unlinking unix sockets).

BUG/MAJOR: hpack: don't pretend large headers fit in empty table
In hpack_dht_make_room(), we try to fulfill this rule form RFC7541#4.4 :
"It is not an error to attempt to add an entry that is larger than the
maximum size; an attempt to add an entry larger than the maximum size
causes the table to be emptied of all existing entries and results in
an empty table."
Unfortunately it is not consistent with the way it's used in
hpack_dht_insert() as this last one will consider a success as a
confirmation it can copy the header into the table, and a failure as
an indexing error. This results in the two following issues :
- if a client sends too large a header into an empty table, this
header may overflow the table. Fortunately, most clients send
small headers like :authority first, and never mark headers that
don't fit into the table as indexable since it is counter-productive ;
- if a client sends too large a header into a populated table, the
operation fails after the table is totally flushed and the request
is not processed.
This patch fixes the two issues at once :
- a header not fitting into an empty table is always a sign that it
will never fit ;
- not fitting into the table is not an error
Thanks to Yves Lafon for reporting detailed traces demonstrating this
issue. This fix must be backported to 1.8.

BUG/MAJOR: h2: correctly check the request length when building an H1 request
Due to a typo in the request maximum length calculation, we count the
request path twice instead of counting it added to the method's length.
This has two effects, the first one being that a path cannot be larger
than half a buffer, and the second being that the method's length isn't
properly checked. Due to the way the temporary buffers are used internally,
it is quite difficult to meet this condition. In practice, the only
situation where this can cause a problem is when exactly one of either
the method or the path are compressed and the other ones is sent as a
literal.

BUG/MAJOR: thread: Be sure to request a sync between threads only once at a time
The first thread requesting a synchronization is responsible to write in the
"sync" pipe to notify all others. But we must write only once in the pipe
between two synchronizations to have exactly one character in the pipe. It is
important because we only read 1 character in return when the last thread exits
from the sync-point.
Here there is a bug. If two threads request a synchronization, only the first
writes in the pipe. But, if the same thread requests several times a
synchronization before entering in the sync-point (because, for instance, it
detects many servers down), it writes as many as characters in the pipe. And
only one of them will be read. Repeating this bug many times will block HAProxy
on the write because the pipe is full.
To fix the bug, we just check if the current thread has already requested a
synchronization before trying to notify all others.

applets. Such applets are used for peers, Lua and SPOE outgoing
connections. In this case, once the stream ends, it closes everything
and nothing takes care of releasing the session. The problem is not
immediately obvious since the only visible effect is that older
processes will not quit on reload after having leaked one such session.

we're releasing, and then free the session as well. Something more

sense to dedicate them a cache line to avoid contention and to place
the lock at the beginning.

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.

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.

DOC: fix mangled version in peers protocol documentation
Tim Düsterhus noticed that the create-release script had mangled the

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

"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".

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.
MINOR: config: Add auto-increment feature for cpu-map
The prefix "auto:" can be added before the process set to let HAProxy
automatically bind a process to a CPU by incrementing process and CPU sets. To
be valid, both sets must have the same size. No matter the declaration order of
the CPU sets, it will be bound from the lower to the higher bound.
Examples:
# all these lines bind the process 1 to the cpu 0, the process 2 to cpu 1
# and so on.
cpu-map auto:1-4 0-3
cpu-map auto:1-4 0-1 2-3
cpu-map auto:1-4 3 2 1 0
# bind each process to exaclty one CPU using all/odd/even keyword
cpu-map auto:all 0-63
cpu-map auto:even 0-31
cpu-map auto:odd 32-63
# invalid cpu-map because process and CPU sets have different sizes.
cpu-map auto:1-4 0 # invalid
cpu-map auto:1 0-3 # invalid
MINOR: config: Slightly change how parse_process_number works
Now, this function returns a status code to indicate a success (0) or a failure
(1) and the error message in set in <err> parameter. And the result of the parsing
is set in <proc> parameter.
BUG/MINOR: listener: Allow multiple "process" options on "bind" lines
The documentation specifies that you can have several "process" options to
define several ranges on "bind" lines (or "stats socket" lines). It is uncommon,
but it should be possible. So the bind_proc bitmask in bind_conf structure must
not be overwritten at each new "process" option parsed.
This bug also exists in 1.7, 1.6 and 1.5. So it may be backported. But no one
seems to have noticed it, so it was probably never hitted.

MEDIUM: cache: store sha1 for hashing the cache key
The cache was relying on the txn->uri for creating its key, which was a

This patch does a sha1 of the host + uri, and stores it in the txn.
When a object is stored, the eb32node uses the first 32 bits of the hash
as a key, and the whole hash is stored in the cache entry.
During a lookup, the truncated hash is used, and when it matches an
entry we check the real sha1.

MINOR: mux: Make sure every string is woken up after the handshake.
In case any stream was waiting for the handshake after receiving early data,
we have to wake all of them. Do so by making the mux responsible for
removing the CO_FL_EARLY_DATA flag after all of them are woken up, instead
of doing it in si_cs_wake_cb(), which would then only work for the first one.
This makes wait_for_handshake work with HTTP/2.
