The previous commit added more generic APIs for handling
NXT_CONF_VALUE_ARRAY and non-NXT_CONF_VALUE_ARRAY together.
Modify calling code to remove special cases for arrays and
non-arrays, taking special care that the path for non arrays is
logically equivalent to the previous special cased code.
Use the now-generic array code only.
The reference to the access_log structure is stored in the current
nxt_router_conf_t and the global nxt_router_t. When the reference is copied,
the reference counter should be adjusted accordingly.
This closes#593 issue on GitHub.
Application process started with shared port (and queue) already configured.
But still waits for PORT_ACK message from router to start request processing
(so-called "ready state").
Waiting for router confirmation is necessary. Otherwise, the application may
produce response and send it to router before the router have the information
about the application process. This is a subject of further optimizations.
port->app field is not thread safe and should be used in main thread only.
To release port after request processing, application reference should be
obtained from corresponding request descriptor.
This commit introduces the replacement of the client address based on the value
of a specified HTTP header. This is intended for use when Unit is placed
behind a reverse proxy like nginx or a CDN.
You must specify the source addresses of the trusted proxies. This can be
accomplished with any valid IP pattern supported by Unit's match block:
["10.0.0.1", "10.4.0.0/16", "!192.168.1.1"]
The feature is configured per listener.
The client address replacement functionality only operates when there is a
source IP match and the specified header is present. Typically this would be
an 'X-Forwarded-For' header.
{
"listeners": {
"127.0.0.1:8080": {
"client_ip": {
"header": "X-Forwarded-For",
"source": [
"10.0.0.0/8"
]
},
"pass": "applications/my_app"
},
}
}
If a request occurs and Unit receives a header like below:
"X-Forwarded-For: 84.123.23.23"
By default, Unit trusts the last rightmost IP in the header, so REMOTE_ADDR
will be set to 84.123.23.23 if the connection originated from 10.0.0.0/8.
If Unit runs behind consecutive reverse proxies and receives a header similar
to the following:
"X-Forwarded-For: 84.123.23.23, 10.0.0.254"
You will need to enable "recursive" checking, which walks the header from
last address to first and chooses the first non-trusted address it finds.
{
"listeners": {
"127.0.0.1:8080": {
"client_ip": {
"header": "X-Forwarded-For",
"source": [
"10.0.0.0/8"
]
"recursive": true,
},
"pass": "applications/my_app"
},
}
}
If a connection from 10.0.0.0/8 occurs, the chain is walked. Here, 10.0.0.254
is also a trusted address so the client address will be replaced with
84.123.23.23.
If all IP addresses in the header are trusted, the client address is set to
the first address in the header:
If 10.0.0.0/8 is trusted and "X-Forwarded-For: 10.0.0.3, 10.0.0.2, 10.0.0.1",
the client address will be replaced with 10.0.0.3.
When processing a restart request, the router sends a QUIT message to all
existing processes of the application. Then, a new shared application port is
created to ensure that new requests won't be handled by the old processes of
the application.
To support TLS sessions, Unit uses the OpenSSL built-in session cache; the
cache_size option defines the number sessions to store. To disable the feather,
the option must be zero.
A new application thread port message can be processed in the router after the
application is removed from the router. Assertion for this case is replaced by
a condition to store the new thread port until receiving the stop notification
from the application process.
Because of the incorrect 'last' field assignment, multiple listeners with
a TLS certificate did not initialize properly, which caused a router crash
while establishing a connection.
Test with multiple TLS listeners added.
The issue was introduced in the c548e46fe516 commit.
This closes#561 issue on GitHub.
To perform various configuration operations on SSL_CTX, OpenSSL provides
SSL_CONF_cmd(). Specifically, to configure ciphers for a listener,
"CipherString" and "Ciphersuites" file commands are used:
https://www.openssl.org/docs/man1.1.1/man3/SSL_CONF_cmd.html
This feature can be configured in the "tls/conf_commands" section.
A crash was caused by an incorrect timer handler nxt_h1p_idle_timeout() if
SSL_shutdown() returned SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ/SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE.
The flag SSL_RECEIVED_SHUTDOWN is used to avoid getting SSL_ERROR_WANT_READ, so
the server won't wait for a close notification from a client.
For SSL_ERROR_WANT_WRITE, a correct timer handler is set up.
This patch fixes a possible race between the nxt_router_conf_wait() and
nxt_router_listen_socket_release() function calls and improves the 7f1b2eaa2d58
commit fix.
When an invalid TLS configuration is applied (such as the conf_commands
feature), nxt_cert_store_get() creates a buffer to send a certificate request
to the main process and adds its default completion handler to an asynchronous
queue to free the allocated buffer. However, if configuration fails,
nxt_router_conf_error() removes the memory pool used to allocate the buffer,
causing a crash when the completion handler is dispatched.
Assertion "src/nxt_buf.c:208 assertion failed: data == b->parent" is triggered
when is NXT_DEBUG enabled in the configure script.
This patch uses a reference counter to retain the memory pool and redefines the
completion handler to free the buffer before releasing the memory pool.
Listen socket is actually closed in the instant timer handler. This patch moves
the "configuration has been applied" notification to the timer handler to avoid
a situation when the user gets the response from the controller, but the listen
socket is still open in the router.
This fixes memory and shm file descriptor leakage that occurred when a large
request body was passed via shared memory. The leakage was caught with the
"test_settings_body_buffer_size" test. The main condition is the
"body_buffer_size" value exceeding 10 Mb (a shm segment). Thus, the router was
forced to split the body into several shm segments, but these buffers were not
freed because of dummy completion handlers.
The certificate is selected by matching the arriving SNI to the common name and
the alternatives names. If no certificate matches the name, the first bundle in
the array is chosen.
pthread_t on Solaris is an integer type with size not equal to pointer size.
To avoid warnings, type casts to and from pointer needs to be done via
uintptr_t type.
This change originally proposed by Juraj Lutter <juraj@lutter.sk>.
After WebSocket processing, the application port was released with incorrect
reason ("got request"), unnecessarily decrementing the active request counter.
The assertion was triggered only on application removal; a test was added
for this case.
The controller process awaits the response from the router for every
configration change request. This patch adds error reporting for various error
conditions which may happen because of file descriptors or memory shortage.
Lack of a response lead to the controller awaiting the response, thus being
unable to process other client reconfiguration requests that also became stuck.
Each application in router process required fd for a request queue shared
memory. When the number of file descripts close to the limit, and port sockets
successfully opened, router needs to properly handle the errors.
This patch closes port sockets before destroying port structure to avoid
file descriptors leakage and assertion in debug build.
Multithreaded application may create different shared memory segments in
different threads. The segments then passed to different router threads.
Because of this multithreading, the order of adding incoming segments is
not determined and there can be situation when some of the incoming segments
are not initialized yet.
This patch simply adds check for NULL to skip non-initialized segments.
Crash reproduced during load tests with high number of simultaneous
connections (1024 and more).
Previously, all requests that contained in header field names characters other
than alphanumeric, or "-", or "_" were rejected with a 400 "Bad Request" error
response.
Now, the parser allows the same set of characters as specified in RFC 7230,
including: "!", "#", "$", "%", "&", "'", "*", "+", ".", "^", "`", "|", and "~".
Header field names that contain only these characters are considered valid.
Also, there's a new option introduced: "discard_unsafe_fields". It accepts
boolean value and it is set to "true" by default.
When this option is "true", all header field names that contain characters
in valid range, but other than alphanumeric or "-" are skipped during parsing.
When the option is "false", these header fields aren't skipped.
Requests with non-valid characters in header field names according to
RFC 7230 are rejected regardless of "discard_unsafe_fields" setting.
This closes#422 issue on GitHub.
Application shared queue only capable to pass one shared memory buffer.
The rest buffers in chain needs to be send directly to application in response
to REQ_HEADERS_AC message.
The issue can be reproduced for configurations where 'body_buffer_size' is
greater than memory segment size (10 Mb). Requests with body size greater
than 10 Mb are just `stuck` e.g. not passed to application awaiting for more
data from router.
The bug was introduced in 1d84b9e4b459 (v1.19.0).
The PORT_ACK message is the router's response to the application's NEW_PORT
message. After receiving PORT_ACK, the application is safe to process requests
using this port.
This message avoids a racing condition when the application starts processing a
request from the shared queue and sends REQ_HEADERS_ACK. The REQ_HEADERS_ACK
message contains the application port ID as reply_port, which the router uses
to send request data. When the application creates a new port, it
immediately sends it to the main router thread. Because the request is
processed outside the main thread, a racing condition can occur between the
receipt of the new port in the main thread and the receipt of REQ_HEADERS_ACK
in the worker router thread where the same port is specified as reply_port.
This fixes the router's crash on buildbot; the reason was an unexpected 'last'
response from the application to the router arriving before the response
headers. The last buffer is not a memory buffer, so the result of accessing
memory fields is unpredictable.
The unexpected 'last' message was caused by an error in libunit; fixed in
fee8fd855a00.
The issue was introduced in changeset 1d84b9e4b459. The request buffer was
transferred via the shared application queue, but the buffer position and the
'sent' flag were not updated after the buffer had been sent.
Messed up return values in nxt_upstream_find() caused error in applying any
configuration with a valid "pass" value in router configuration pointing to
upstream. That wasn't the case in "listeners" objects, where the return value
wasn't checked.
Also, it caused segfault in cases where the "pass" option was configured with
variables and resulting value was pointing to a non-existent upstream.
Added missing return checks as well to catch possible memory allocation errors.
The bug was introduced in d32bc428f46b.
This closes#472 issue on GitHub.
It's not used since cbcd76704c90.
This option is a leftover from previous IPC between router and applications
processes. It was never documented, though.
Thanks to 洪志道 (Hong Zhi Dao).
Buffer for application prefork request allocated from temp conf mem_pool.
If error response from main process received before buffer completion handler,
temp conf mem_pool destroyed and router may crash in completion handler.
Assertion "src/nxt_buf.c:208 assertion failed: data == b->parent" triggered
when NXT_DEBUG_ALLOC enabled in configure.
This patch disables completion handler and memory allocated for buffer
released with memory pool.
This is the port shared between all application processes which use it to pass
requests for processing. Using it significantly simplifies the request
processing code in the router. The drawback is 2 more file descriptors per each
configured application and more complex libunit message wait/read code.
