The following task/tasklet handlers often appear in "show profiling tasks"
but were not resolved since static:
qc_io_cb, quic_conn_app_io_cb, process_timer,
quic_accept_run, qc_idle_timer_task
This commit simply exports them so they can be resolved now. "process_timer"
which was a bit too generic and renamed to qc_process_timer.
The function appears like this in "show profiling tasks", so let's export
it:
function calls cpu_tot cpu_avg lat_tot lat_avg
main+0x1463f0 92 77.28us 839.0ns 2.018ms 21.93us <- wake_expired_tasks@src/task.c:429 task_drop_running
This removes all the hard-coded 8-bit and 256 entries to use a pair of
macros instead so that we can more easily experiment with larger table
sizes if needed.
Now that ->wake_date is common to tasks and tasklets, we don't need
anymore to carry a duplicate control block to read and update it for
tasks and tasklets. And given that this code was present early in the
if/else fork between tasks and tasklets, taking it out of the block
allows to move the task part into a more visible "else" branch that
also allows to factor the epilogue that resets th_ctx->current and
updates profile_entry->cpu_time, which also used to be duplicated.
Overall, doing just that saved 253 bytes in the function, or ~1/6,
which is not bad considering that it's on a hot path. And the code
got much ore readable.
The memstats code currently defines its own file/function/line number,
type and extra pointer. We don't need to keep them separate and we can
easily replace them all with just a struct ha_caller. Note that the
extra pointer could be converted to a pool ID stored into arg8 or
arg32 and be dropped as well, but this would first require to define
IDs for pools (which we currently do not have).
It was a mistake to put these two fields in the struct task. This
was added in 1.9 via commit 9efd7456e ("MEDIUM: tasks: collect per-task
CPU time and latency"). These fields are used solely by streams in
order to report the measurements via the lat_ns* and cpu_ns* sample
fetch functions when task profiling is enabled. For the rest of the
tasks, this is pure CPU waste when profiling is enabled, and memory
waste 100% of the time, as the point where these latencies and usages
are measured is in the profiling array.
Let's move the fields to the stream instead, and have process_stream()
retrieve the relevant info from the thread's context.
The struct task is now back to 120 bytes, i.e. almost two cache lines,
with 32 bit still available.
When task profiling is enabled, the reported CPU time for short requests
and responses (e.g. redirect) is always zero in the logs, because
process_stream() is only called once and the CPU time is measured after
it returns. This is particuarly annoying when dealing with denies and in
general anything that deals with parasitic traffic because it can be
difficult to figure where the CPU is spent.
The solution taken in this patch consists in having process_stream()
update the cpu time itself before logging and quitting. It's very simple.
It will not take into account the time taken to produce the log nor
freeing the stream, but that's marginal compared to always logging zero.
The task's wake_date is also reset so that the scheduler doesn't have to
perform these operations again. This is dependent on the following patch:
MINOR: sched: store the current profile entry in the thread context
It should be backported to 2.6 as it does help for troubleshooting.
The profile entry that corresponds to the current task/tasklet being
profiled is now stored into the thread's context. This will allow it
to be accessed from the tasks themselves. This is needed for an upcoming
fix.
When task profiling is enabled, the scheduler can measure and report
the cumulated time spent in each task and their respective latencies. But
this was wrong for tasks with few wakeups as well as for self-waking ones,
because the call date needed to measure how long it takes to process the
task is retrieved in the task itself (->wake_date was turned to the call
date), and we could face two conditions:
- a new wakeup while the task is executing would reset the ->wake_date
field before returning and make abnormally low values being reported;
that was likely the case for taskèrun_applet for self-waking applets;
- when the task dies, NULL is returned and the call date couldn't be
retrieved, so that CPU time was not being accounted for. This was
particularly visible with process_stream() which is usually called
only twice per request, and whose time was systematically halved.
The cleanest solution here is to keep in mind that the scheduler already
uses quite a bit of local context in th_ctx, and place the intermediary
values there so that they cannot vanish. The wake_date has to be reset
immediately once read, and only its copy is used along the function. Note
that this must be done both for tasks and tasklet, and that until recently
tasklets were also able to report wrong values due to their sole dependency
on TH_FL_TASK_PROFILING between tests.
One nice benefit for future improvements is that such information will now
be available from the task without having to be stored into the task itself
anymore.
Since the tasklet part was computed on wrapping 32-bit arithmetics and
the task one was on 64-bit, the values were now consistently moved to
32-bit as it's already largely sufficient (4s spent in a task is more
than twice what the watchdog would tolerate). Some further cleanups might
be necessary, but the patch aimed at staying minimal.
Task profiling output after 1 million HTTP request previously looked like
this:

Note the two-fold difference on process_stream().
This feature is essentially used for debugging so it has extremely limited
impact. However it's used quite a bit more in bug reports and it would be
desirable that at least 2.6 gets this fix backported. It depends on at least
these two previous patches which will then also have to be backported:
MINOR: task: permanently enable latency measurement on tasklets
CLEANUP: task: rename ->call_date to ->wake_date
This field is misnamed because its real and important content is the
date the task was woken up, not the date it was called. It temporarily
holds the call date during execution but this remains confusing. In
fact before the latency measurements were possible it was indeed a call
date. Thus is will now be called wake_date.
This change is necessary because a subsequent fix will require the
introduction of the real call date in the thread ctx.
When tasklet latency measurement was enabled in 2.4 with commit b2285de04
("MINOR: tasks: also compute the tasklet latency when DEBUG_TASK is set"),
the feature was conditionned on DEBUG_TASK because the field would add 8
bytes to the struct tasklet.
This approach was not a very good idea because the struct ends on an int
anyway thus it does finish with a 32-bit hole regardless of the presence
of this field. What is true however is that adding it turned a 64-byte
struct to 72-byte when caller debugging is enabled.
This patch revisits this with a minor change. Now only the lowest 32
bits of the call date are stored, so they always fit in the remaining
hole, and this allows to remove the dependency on DEBUG_TASK. With
debugging off, we're now seeing a 48-byte struct, and with debugging
on it's exactly 64 bytes, thus still exactly one cache line. 32 bits
allow a latency of 4 seconds on a tasklet, which already indicates a
completely dead process, so there's no point storing the upper bits at
all. And even in the event it would happen once in a while, the lost
upper bits do not really add any value to the debug reports. Also, now
one tasklet wakeup every 4 billion will not be sampled due to the test
on the value itself. Similarly we just don't care, it's statistics and
the measurements are not 9-digit accurate anyway.
Add QUIC support to the ssl_sock_switchctx_cbk() variant used only when
no client_hello_cb is available.
This could be used with libreSSL implementation of QUIC for example.
It also works with quictls when HAVE_SSL_CLIENT_HELLO_CB is removed from
openss-compat.h
When building HAProxy with USE_QUIC and libressl 3.6.0, the
ssl_sock_switchtx_cbk symbol is not found because libressl does not
implement the client_hello_cb.
A ssl_sock_switchtx_cbk version for the servername callback is available
but wasn't exported correctly.
This verification is done by ssl_sock_bind_verifycbk() which is set at different
locations in the ssl_sock.c code . About QUIC connections, there are a lot of chances
the connection object is not initialized when entering this function. What must
be accessed is the SSL object to retrieve the connection or quic_conn objects,
then the bind_conf object of the listener. If the connection object is not found,
we try to find the quic_conn object.
Modify ssl_sock_dump_errors() interface which takes a connection object as parameter
to also passed a quic_conn object as parameter. Again this function try first
to access the connection object if not NULL or the quic_conn object if not.
There is a remaining thing to do for QUIC: store the certificate verification error
code as it is currently stored in the connection object. This error code is at least
used by the "bc_err" and "fc_err" sample fetches.
There are chances this bug is in relation with GH #1851. Thank you to @tasavis
for the report.
Must be merged into 2.6.
On frontend side, "h1-case-adjust-bogus-client" option is now supported in
TCP mode. It is important to be able to adjust the case of response headers
when a connection is routed to an HTTP backend. In this case, the client
connection is upgraded to H1.
On backend side, "h1-case-adjust-bogus-server" option is now also supported
in TCP mode to be able to perform HTTP health-checks with a case adjustment
of the request headers.
This patch should be backported as far as 2.0.
This trick is deprecated since the health-check refactoring, It is now
invalid. It means the following line will trigger an error during the
configuration parsing:
option httpchk OPTIONS * HTTP/1.1\r\nHost:\ www
It must be replaced by:
option httpchk OPTIONS * HTTP/1.1
http-check send hdr Host www
ssl_tlsext_ticket_key_cb() is called when "tls-ticket-keys" option is used on a
"bind" line. It needs to have an access to the TLS ticket keys which have been
stored into the listener bind_conf struct. The fix consists in nitializing the
<ref> variable (references to TLS secret keys) the correct way when this callback
is called for a QUIC connection. The bind_conf struct is store into the quic_conn
object (QUIC connection).
This issue may be in relation with GH #1851. Thank you for @tasavis for the report.
Must be backported to 2.6.
Obviously, frames which are duplicated from others must not be retransmitted if
the original frame they were duplicated from was already acknowledged.
This should have been detected by qc_build_frms() which skips such frames,
except if the QUIC xprt does really bad things which are not supported by
the upper layer. This will have to be checked with Amaury.
To prevent the retransmision of these frames which leads to crashes as reported by
hpn0t0ad this gdb backtrace in GH #1809 where the frame builder tries to copy a huge
number of bytes to the packet buffer:
Thread 7 (Thread 0x7fddf373a700 (LWP 13)):
#0 __memmove_sse2_unaligned_erms () at ../sysdeps/x86_64/multiarch/memmove-vec-unaligned-erms.S:520
No locals.

to_copy = 18446697703428890384
stream = 0x7fdde08d3490
wrap = <optimized out>
which matches this part of quic_frame.c code:
wrap = (const unsigned char *)b_wrap(stream->buf);
if (stream->data + stream->len > wrap) {
size_t to_copy = wrap - stream->data;
memcpy(*buf, stream->data, to_copy);
*buf += to_copy;
we release as soon as possible the impacted frames as there is really no need
to retransmit such frames.
Thank you to @hpn0t0ad for having provided us with useful traces in github
issue #1809.
Must be backported in 2.6.
Commit 5c83e3a156 made some adjustments
to clarify which TCP_INFO information is supported by each respective
OS.
There was a comment like so..
Note that fc_rtt and fc_rttvar are supported on any OS that has TCP_INFO,
not just linux/freebsd/netbsd, so we continue to expose them unconditionally.
But the diff didn't do so in a consistent manner.
In github issue #1850, Christian Ruppert reported a case of crash in
2.6 when failing to parse some http rules. This started to happen
with 2.6 commit dd7e6c6 ("BUG/MINOR: http-rules: completely free
incorrect TCP rules on error") but has some of its roots in 2.2
commit 2eb539687 ("MINOR: http-rules: Add release functions for
existing HTTP actions").
The cause is that when the release function is set for HTTP actions,
the rule->arg.http.fmt list head is not yet initialized, hence is
NULL, thus the release function crashes when it tries to iterate over
it. In fact this code was initially not written with the perspective
of releasing such elements upon error, so the arg list initialization
happened after error checking.
This patch just moves the list initialization just after setting the
release pointer and that's OK.
This patch must be backported to 2.6 since the problem is visible
there. It could be backported to 2.5 but the issue is not triggered
there without the first mentioned patch above that landed in 2.6, so
it will not bring any obvious benefit.
We now have two functions, one for dumping connections and the other
one for dumping the streams. This will permit to use it from show_sd.
A few optional line breaks were inserted where relevant to keep lines
homogenous when a prefix is passed.
It's very limited but at least provides the very basic info about QCS and
QCC when issuing "show sess all":
scf=0x7fa9642394a0 flags=0x00000080 state=EST endp=CONN,0x7fa9642351f0,0x02001001 sub=3
> qcs=0x7fa9642351f0 .flg=0x5 .id=396 .st=HCR .ctx=0x7fa9642353f0, .err=0
> qcc=0x7fa96405ce20 .flg=0 .nbsc=100 .nbhreq=100, .task=0x7fa964054260
co0=0x7fa96405cd50 ctrl=quic4 xprt=QUIC mux=QUIC data=STRM target=LISTENER:0x328c530
flags=0x00200300 fd=-1 fd.state=00 updt=0 fd.tmask=0x0
It will need to be improved but it's better than nothing already. This
should be backported to 2.6 if the other dumps are backported.
With this, it now becomes possible to see the state of each H2 stream from
"show sess all". Lines are still too long and need to be split, but that's
for another patch.
This helper will be called for muxes that provide it and will be used
to let the mux provide extra information about the stream attached to
a stream descriptor. A line prefix is passed in argument so that the
mux is free to break long lines without breaking indent. No prefix
means no line breaks should be produced (e.g. for short dumps).
The function will be reusable to dump streams, so let's extract it.
Note that due to "last_h2s" being originally printed as a prefix for
the stream dump, now the pointer is displayed by the caller instead.
When an appctx is found looping over itself, we report a number of info
but not the pointers to the definition nor the handler, which can be quite
handy in some cases. Let's add them and try to decode the symbol.
Commit 1776ffb97 ("MINOR: mux-fcgi: make the "show fd" helper also decode
the fstrm subscriber when known") improved the output of "show fd" for the
FCGI mux, but the output is sent to the trash buffer instead of the msg
argument. It turns out that this has no effect right now as the caller
passes the trash but this is risky.
This should be backported to 2.4.
Commit 150c4f8b7 ("MINOR: mux-h1: make the "show fd" helper also decode
the h1s subscriber when known") improved the output of "show fd" for the
H1 mux, but the output is sent to the trash buffer instead of the msg
argument. It turns out that this has no effect right now as the caller
passes the trash but this is risky.
This should be backported to 2.4.
Commit 98e40b981 ("MINOR: mux-h2: make the "show fd" helper also decode
the h2s subscriber when known") improved the output of "show fd" for the
H2 mux, but the output is sent to the trash buffer instead of the msg
argument. It turns out that this has no effect right now as the caller
passes the trash but this is risky.
This should be backported to 2.4.
Since everything is available for this, let's enable ALPN with the
usual "h2,http/1.1" on the https server. This will allow HTTPS requests
to use HTTP/2 when available.
It may be needed to permit to disable this (or to set the string) in
case some client code explicitly checks for the "HTTP/1.1" string, but
since httpclient is quite young it's unlikely that such code already
exists.
The servers were not set with default settings, meaning that a few
settings including the pool_max_delay were not set, thus disabling
connection pools, which is the cause of the fact that keep-alive was
disabled as reported in issue #1831. There might possibly be other
issues pending since all these fields were left to zero.
Note that this patch alone will not fix keep-alive because the applet
does not enforce SE_FL_NOT_FIRST and relies on the default http-reuse
safe, thus if servers are not shared, all requests are considered
first ones and do not reuse existing connections.
In 2.7, commit ecb40b2c3 ("MINOR: backend: always satisfy the first
req reuse rule with l7 retries") addressed this in a more elegant way
by fixing http-reuse to take into account the fact that properly
configured l7 retries provide exactly the capability that reuse safe
was trying to cover, and this patch is suitable for backporting.
This patch should be backported to 2.6 only.
There's a tiny issue in the I/O handler by which both a failed request
emission and missing response data will want to subscribe for more room
on output. That's not correct in that only the case where the request
buffer is full should cause this, the other one should just wait for
incoming data. This could theoretically cause spurious wakeups at
certain key points (e.g. connect() time maybe) though this could not
be reproduced but better fix this while it's easy enough.
It doesn't seem necessary to backport it right now, though this may
have to in case a concrete reproducible case is discovered.
If the caller dies before the server responds, the httpclient can crash
in hc_cli_res_end_cb() when unregistering because it dereferences
hc->caller which was already freed during the caller's unregistration.
The easiest way to reproduce it is by sending twice the following
request on the same CLI connection in expert mode, with httpterm
running on local port 8000:
httpclient GET http://127.0.0.1:8000/?t=600
Note the 600ms delay that's larger than socat's default 500.
The code checks for a NULL everywhere hc->caller is used, but the NULL
was forgotten in this specific case. It must be placed in the second
half of httpclient_stop_and_destroy() which is responsible for signaling
the client that the caller leaves.
This must be backported to 2.6.
In 1.9-dev, a new flag was introduced on the start line with commit
f1ba18d7b ("MEDIUM: htx: Don't rely on h1_sl anymore except during H1
header parsing") to designate a response message: HTX_SL_F_IS_RESP.
Unfortunately as it was done in parallel to the mux_h2 support for
the backend, it was never integrated there. It was not used by then
so this remained unnoticed for a while.
However the http_client now uses it, and missing that flag prevents
it from using the H2 mux, so let's properly add it.
There's no point in backporting this far away, but since the http_client
is fully operational in 2.6 it would make sense to backport this fix at
least there to secure the code.
The frame which are retransmitted by qc_dgrams_retransmit() are duplicated
from sent but not acknowledged packets and added to local frames lists.
Some may not have been sent. If not replaced somewhere (linked to the
connection) they are lost for ever (leak). We splice the list remaining
contents to the packets number space frame list to avoid such a situation.
Must be backported to 2.6.
<force_ack> boolean variable passed to qc_do_build_pkt() which builds a clear
packet is there to force this function to build an ACK frame regardless of
others conditions. This is used during handshake, when we acknowledge every
handshake packets received.
This variable was already taken into an account by the local variable <must_ack>
which is there at least to ignore any other conditions than this one: "are
we building a probing packet?". Indeed we do not want to add ACK frames when
we probe the peers. This is to have more chances to embed the new duplicated frames
into another packets without splitting them. So, the test on <force_ack> boolean
value is useless, silly and brakes the rule which consists in not acknowledging
when probing.
Must be backported to 2.6.
The "first req" rule consists in not delivering a connection's first
request to a connection that's not known for being safe so that we
don't deliver a broken page to a client if the server didn't intend to
keep it alive. That's what's used by "http-reuse safe" particularly.
But the reason this rule was created was precisely because haproxy was
not able to re-emit the request to the server in case of connection
breakage, which is precisely what l7 retries later brought. As such,
there's no reason for enforcing this rule when l7 retries are properly
enabled because such a blank page will trigger a retry and will not be
delivered to the client.
This patch simply checks that the l7 retries are enabled for the 3 cases
that can be triggered on a dead or dying connection (failure, empty, and
timeout), and if all 3 are enabled, then regular idle connections can be
reused.
This could almost be marked as a bug fix because a lot of users relying
on l7 retries do not necessarily think about using http-reuse always due
to the recommendation against it in the doc, while the protection that
the safe mode offers is never used in that mode, and it forces the http
client not to reuse existing persistent connections since it never sets
the "not first" flag.
It could also be decided that the protection is not used either when
the origin is an applet, as in this case this is internal code that
we can decide to let handle the retry by itself (all info are still
present). But at least the httpclient will be happy with this alone.
It would make sense to backport this at least to 2.6 in order to let
the httpclient reuse connections, maybe to older releases if some
users report low reuse counts.
