This patch provides the code to handle arrays of some
standard types (SINT, UINT, ULL and FRQP) in stick table.
This way we could define new "array" data types.
Note: the number of elements of an array was limited
to 100 to put a limit and to ensure that an encoded
update message will continue to fit into a buffer
when the peer protocol will handle such data types.
This patch replaces all advanced data type aliases on
stktable_data_cast calls by standard types.
This way we could call the same stktable_data_cast
regardless of the used advanced data type as long they
are using the same std type.
It also removes all the advanced data type aliases.
These caddr_* functions were once placed into tools.h in the hope they
would be useful but nobody knows they exist. They could deserve being
moved to their own file with other pointer manipulation functions maybe,
but for now they're the only reason left for stick_table.h to include
tools.h, so let's move them directly there since it's its only user.
This allows to remove tools.h from stick_table.h and slightly reduce
the overall build time.
This function has no business being inlined in stick_table.h since it's
only used at boot time by the config parser. In addition it causes an
undesired dependency on tools.h because it uses parse_time_err(). Let's
move it to stick_table.c.
Both structures are identical except the name of the field starting
the period and its description. Let's call them all freq_ctr and the
period's start "curr_tick" which is generic.
This is only a temporary change and fields are expected to remain
the same with no code change (verified).
Historically we've been counting lots of client-triggered events in stick
tables to help detect misbehaving ones, but we've been missing the same on
the server side, and there's been repeated requests for being able to count
the server errors per URL in order to precisely monitor the quality of
service or even to avoid routing requests to certain dead services, which
is also called "circuit breaking" nowadays.
This commit introduces http_fail_cnt and http_fail_rate, which work like
http_err_cnt and http_err_rate in that they respectively count events and
their frequency, but they only consider server-side issues such as network
errors, unparsable and truncated responses, and 5xx status codes other
than 501 and 505 (since these ones are usually triggered by the client).
Note that retryable errors are purposely not accounted for, so that only
what the client really sees is considered.
With this it becomes very simple to put some protective measures in place
to perform a redirect or return an excuse page when the error rate goes
beyond a certain threshold for a given URL, and give more chances to the
server to recover from this condition. Typically it could look like this
to bypass a URL causing more than 10 requests per second:
stick-table type string len 80 size 4k expire 1m store http_fail_rate(1m)
http-request track-sc0 base # track host+path, ignore query string
http-request return status 503 content-type text/html \
lf-file excuse.html if { sc0_http_fail_rate gt 10 }
A more advanced mechanism using gpt0 could even implement high/low rates
to disable/enable the service.
Reg-test converteers_ref_cnt_never_dec.vtc was updated to test it.
The cumulative numbers of http requests, http errors, bytes received and
sent and their respective rates for a tracked counters are now updated using
specific stream independent functions. These functions are used by the
stream but the aim is to allow the session to do so too. For now, there is
no reason to perform these updates from the session, except from the mux-h2
maybe. But, the mux-h1, on the frontend side, will be able to return some
errors to the client, before the stream creation. In this case, it will be
mandatory to update counters tracked at the session level.
This patch fixes all the leftovers from the include cleanup campaign. There
were not that many (~400 entries in ~150 files) but it was definitely worth
doing it as it revealed a few duplicates.
The stktable_types[] array declaration was moved to the main file as
it had nothing to do in the types. A few declarations were reordered
in the types file so that defines were before the structs. Thread-t
was added since there are a few __decl_thread(). The loss of peers.h
revealed that cfgparse-listen needed it.
