The cycle->new_log.file may not be set before config parsing finished if
there are no error_log directive defined at global level. Fix is to
copy it after config parsing.

With previous code raw buffer might be lost if p->input_filter() was called
on a buffer without any data and used ngx_event_pipe_add_free_buf() to
return it to the free list. This eventually might cause "all buffers busy"
problem, resulting in segmentation fault due to null pointer dereference in
ngx_event_pipe_write_chain_to_temp_file().
In ngx_event_pipe_add_free_buf() the buffer was added to the list start
due to pos == last, and then "p->free_raw_bufs = cl->next" in
ngx_event_pipe_read_upstream() dropped both chain links to the buffer
from the p->free_raw_bufs list.
Fix is to move "p->free_raw_bufs = cl->next" before calling the
p->input_filter().
the last path component if "if_not_owner" parameter is used.
To prevent race condition we have to open a file before checking its owner and
there's no way to change access flags for already opened file descriptor, so
we disable symlinks for the last path component at all if flags allow creating
or truncating the file.
Solaris has AT_FDCWD defined to unsigned value, and comparison of a file
descriptor with it causes warnings in modern versions of gcc. Explicitly
cast AT_FDCWD to ngx_fd_t to resolve these warnings.
To completely disable symlinks (disable_symlinks on)
we use openat(O_NOFOLLOW) for each path component
to avoid races.
To allow symlinks with the same owner (disable_symlinks if_not_owner),
use openat() (followed by fstat()) and fstatat(AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW),
and then compare uids between fstat() and fstatat().
As there is a race between openat() and fstatat() we don't
know if openat() in fact opened symlink or not. Therefore,
we have to compare uids even if fstatat() reports the opened
component isn't a symlink (as we don't know whether it was
symlink during openat() or not).
Default value is off, i.e. symlinks are allowed.
Nuke NGX_PARSE_LARGE_TIME, it's not used since 0.6.30. The only error
ngx_parse_time() can currently return is NGX_ERROR, check it explicitly
and make sure to cast it to appropriate type (either time_t or ngx_msec_t)
to avoid signedness warnings on platforms with unsigned time_t (notably QNX).
Now redirects to named locations are counted against normal uri changes
limit, and post_action respects this limit as well. As a result at least
the following (bad) configurations no longer trigger infinite cycles:
1. Post action which recursively triggers post action:
location / {
post_action /index.html;
}
2. Post action pointing to nonexistent named location:
location / {
post_action @nonexistent;
}
3. Recursive error page for 500 (Internal Server Error) pointing to
a nonexistent named location:
location / {
recursive_error_pages on;
error_page 500 @nonexistent;
return 500;
}
Without the protection, subrequest loop results in r->count overflow and
SIGSEGV. Protection was broken in 0.7.25.
Note that this also limits number of parallel subrequests. This
wasn't exactly the case before 0.7.25 as local subrequests were
completed directly.
See here for details:
http://nginx.org/pipermail/nginx-ru/2010-February/032184.html
Variables with the "not_found" flag set follow the same rules as ones with
the "valid" flag set. Make sure ngx_http_get_flushed_variable() will flush
non-cacheable variables with the "not_found" flag set.
This fixes at least one known problem with $args not available in a subrequest
(with args) when there were no args in the main request and $args variable was
queried in the main request (reported by Laurence Rowe aka elro on irc).
Also this eliminates unneeded call to ngx_http_get_indexed_variable() in
cacheable case (as it will return cached value anyway).
Temporary files might not be removed if the "proxy_store" or "fastcgi_store"
directives were used for subrequests (e.g. ssi includes) and client closed
connection prematurely.
Non-active subrequests are finalized out of the control of the upstream
module when client closes a connection. As a result, the code to remove
unfinished temporary files in ngx_http_upstream_process_request() wasn't
executed.
Fix is to move relevant code into ngx_http_upstream_finalize_request() which
is called in all cases, either directly or via the cleanup handler.
Empty flush buffers are legitimate and may happen e.g. due to $r->flush()
calls in embedded perl. If there are no data buffered in zlib, deflate()
will return Z_BUF_ERROR (i.e. no progress possible) without adding anything
to output. Don't treat Z_BUF_ERROR as fatal and correctly send empty flush
buffer if we have no data in output at all.
See this thread for details:

If header filter postponed processing of a header by returning NGX_AGAIN
and not moved u->buffer->pos, previous check incorrectly assumed there
is additional space and did another recv() with zero-size buffer. This
resulted in "upstream prematurely closed connection" error instead
of correct "upstream sent too big header" one.

the way.
It was unintentionally changed in r4272, so that it could only limit the first
location where the processing of the request has reached PREACCESS phase.
The PCRE JIT compiler uses mmap to allocate memory for its executable codes, so
we have to explicitly call the pcre_free_study() function to free this memory.
Example configuration to reproduce:
server {
proxy_redirect off;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8000;
proxy_redirect http://localhost:8000/ /;
location ~ \.php$ {
proxy_pass http://localhost:8000;
# proxy_redirect must be inherited from the level above,
# but instead it was switched off here
}
}
}
Previously if ngx_add_event() failed a connection was freed two times (once
in the ngx_event_connect_peer(), and again by a caller) as pc->connection was
left set. Fix is to always use ngx_close_connection() to close connection
properly and set pc->connection to NULL on errors.
Patch by Piotr Sikora.
Doing a cleanup before every lookup seems to be too aggressive. It can lead to
premature removal of the nodes still usable, which increases the amount of work
under a mutex lock and therefore decreases performance.
In order to improve cleanup behavior, cleanup function call has been moved right
before the allocation of a new node.
