Multi headers are now using linked lists instead of arrays. Notably,
the following fields were changed: r->headers_in.cookies (renamed
to r->headers_in.cookie), r->headers_in.x_forwarded_for,
r->headers_out.cache_control, r->headers_out.link, u->headers_in.cache_control
u->headers_in.cookies (renamed to u->headers_in.set_cookie).
The r->headers_in.cookies and u->headers_in.cookies fields were renamed
to r->headers_in.cookie and u->headers_in.set_cookie to match header names.
The ngx_http_parse_multi_header_lines() and ngx_http_parse_set_cookie_lines()
functions were changed accordingly.
With this change, multi headers are now essentially equivalent to normal
headers, and following changes will further make them equivalent.
Previously, $http_*, $sent_http_*, $sent_trailer_*, $upstream_http_*,
and $upstream_trailer_* variables returned only the first header (with
a few specially handled exceptions: $http_cookie, $http_x_forwarded_for,
$sent_http_cache_control, $sent_http_link).
With this change, all headers are returned, combined together. For
example, $http_foo variable will be "a, b" if there are "Foo: a" and
"Foo: b" headers in the request.
Note that $upstream_http_set_cookie will also return all "Set-Cookie"
headers (ticket #1843), though this might not be what one want, since
the "Set-Cookie" header does not follow the list syntax (see RFC 7230,
section 3.2.2).
The uwsgi specification states that "The uwsgi block vars represent a
dictionary/hash". This implies that no duplicate headers are expected.
Further, provided headers are expected to follow CGI specification,
which also requires to combine headers (RFC 3875, section "4.1.18.
Protocol-Specific Meta-Variables"): "If multiple header fields with
the same field-name are received then the server MUST rewrite them
as a single value having the same semantics".
SCGI specification explicitly forbids headers with duplicate names
(section "3. Request Format"): "Duplicate names are not allowed in
the headers".
Further, provided headers are expected to follow CGI specification,
which also requires to combine headers (RFC 3875, section "4.1.18.
Protocol-Specific Meta-Variables"): "If multiple header fields with
the same field-name are received then the server MUST rewrite them
as a single value having the same semantics".
FastCGI responder is expected to receive CGI/1.1 environment variables
in the parameters (see section "6.2 Responder" of the FastCGI specification).
Obviously enough, there cannot be multiple environment variables with
the same name.
Further, CGI specification (RFC 3875, section "4.1.18. Protocol-Specific
Meta-Variables") explicitly requires to combine headers: "If multiple
header fields with the same field-name are received then the server MUST
rewrite them as a single value having the same semantics".
Previously, the r->header_in->connection pointer was never set despite
being present in ngx_http_headers_in, resulting in incorrect value returned
by $r->header_in("Connection") in embedded perl.
In 7583:efd71d49bde0 (nginx 1.17.5) along with introduction of the
ioctl(FIONREAD) support proper handling of systems without EPOLLRDHUP
support in the kernel (but with EPOLLRDHUP in headers) was broken.
Before the change, rev->available was never set to 0 unless
ngx_use_epoll_rdhup was also set (that is, runtime test for EPOLLRDHUP
introduced in 6536:f7849bfb6d21 succeeded). After the change,
rev->available might reach 0 on systems without runtime EPOLLRDHUP
support, stopping further reading in ngx_readv_chain() and ngx_unix_recv().
And, if EOF happened to be already reported along with the last event,
it is not reported again by epoll_wait(), leading to connection hangs
and timeouts on such systems.
This affects Linux kernels before 2.6.17 if nginx was compiled
with newer headers, and, more importantly, emulation layers, such as
DigitalOcean's App Platform's / gVisor's epoll emulation layer.
Fix is to explicitly check ngx_use_epoll_rdhup before the corresponding
rev->pending_eof tests in ngx_readv_chain() and ngx_unix_recv().
Previously, QUIC used the existing UDP framework, which was created for UDP in
Stream. However the way QUIC connections are created and looked up is different
from the way UDP connections in Stream are created and looked up. Now these
two implementations are decoupled.
Previously, last buffer was tracked by keeping a pointer to the previous
chain link "next" field. When the previous buffer was split and then removed,
the pointer was no longer valid. Writing at this pointer resulted in broken
data chains.
Now last buffer is tracked by keeping a direct pointer to it.
The object is used instead of ngx_chain_t pointer for buffer operations like
ngx_quic_write_chain() and ngx_quic_read_chain(). These functions are renamed
to ngx_quic_write_buffer() and ngx_quic_read_buffer().
Such fatal errors are reported by OpenSSL 1.1.1, and similarly by BoringSSL,
if application data is encountered during SSL shutdown, which started to be
observed on the second SSL_shutdown() call after SSL shutdown fixes made in
09fb2135a589 (1.19.2). The error means that the client continues to send
application data after receiving the "close_notify" alert (ticket #2318).
Previously it was reported as SSL_shutdown() error of SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL.
Now ngx_quic_stream_t is decoupled from ngx_connection_t in a way that it
can persist after connection is closed by application. During this period,
server is expecting stream final size from client for correct flow control.
Also, buffered output is sent to client as more flow control credit is granted.
As shown in RFC 8446, section 2.2, Figure 3, and further specified in
section 4.6.1, BoringSSL releases session tickets in Application Data
(along with Finished) early, based on a precalculated client Finished
transcript, once client signalled early data in extensions.
Initially, frames are genereated and stored in ctx->frames.
Next, ngx_quic_output() collects frames to be sent in in ctx->sending.
On failure, ngx_quic_revert_sned() returns frames into ctx->frames.
On success, the ngx_quic_commit_send() moves ack-eliciting frames into
ctx->sent and frees non-ack-eliciting frames.
This function also updates in-flight bytes counter, so only actually sent
frames are accounted.
The counter is decremented in the following cases:
- acknowledgment is received
- packet was declared lost
- we are discarding context completely
In each of this cases frame is removed from ctx->sent queue and in-flight
counter is accordingly decremented.
The patch fixes the case of discarding context - only removing frames
from ctx->sent must be followed by in-flight bytes counter decrement,
otherwise cg->in_flight could experience type underflow.
The issue appeared in b1676cd64dc9.
The cd8018bc81a5 fixed unintended send of non-padded initial packets,
but failed to restore context properly: only processed contexts need
to be restored. As a consequence, a packet number could be restored
from uninitialized value.
Previously, the flag could be reset after send_chain() with a limit, even
though there was room for more data. The application then started waiting for
a write event notification, which never happened.
Now the wev->ready flag is only reset when flow control is exhausted.
With large http2_max_concurrent_streams or http2_max_concurrent_pushes, more
than 255 ngx_http_v2_node_t structures might be allocated, eventually leading
to h2c->closed_nodes overflow when closing corresponding streams. This will
in turn result in additional allocations in ngx_http_v2_get_node_by_id().
While mostly harmless, it can result in excessive memory usage by a HTTP/2
connection, notably in configurations with many keepalive_requests allowed.
Fix is to use ngx_uint_t for h2c->closed_nodes instead of unsigned:8.
The switch happens when received byte counter reaches stream final size.
Previously, this state was skipped. The stream went from SIZE_KNOWN to
DATA_READ when all bytes were read by application.
The change prevents STOP_SENDING frames from being sent when all data is
received from client, but not yet fully read by application.
Previously, size was calculated based on the number of input bytes processed
by the function. Now only the copied bytes are considered. This prevents
overlapping buffers from contributing twice to the overall written size.
Response headers can be buffered in the SSL buffer. But stream's fake
connection buffered flag did not reflect this, so any attempts to flush
the buffer without sending additional data were stopped by the write filter.
It does not seem to be possible to reflect this in fc->buffered though, as
we never known if main connection's c->buffered corresponds to the particular
stream or not. As such, fc->buffered might prevent request finalization
due to sending data on some other stream.
Fix is to implement handling of flush buffers when the c->need_flush_buf
flag is set, similarly to the existing last buffer handling. The same
flag is now used for UDP sockets in the stream module instead of explicit
checking of c->type.
Previously, non-padded initial packet could be sent as a result of the
following situation:
- initial queue is not empty (so padding to 1200 is required)
- handshake queue is not empty (so padding is to be added after h/s packet)
- path is limited
If serializing handshake packet would violate path limit, such packet was
omitted, and the non-padded initial packet was sent.
The fix is to avoid sending the packet at all in such case. This follows the
original intention introduced in c5155a0cb12f.
During configuration reload two cache managers might exist for a short
time. If both tried to delete the same cache node, the "ignore long locked
inactive cache entry" alert appeared in logs. Additionally,
ngx_http_file_cache_forced_expire() might be also called by worker
processes, with similar results.
Fix is to ignore cache nodes being deleted, similarly to how it is
done in ngx_http_file_cache_expire() since 3755:76e3a93821b1. This
was somehow missed in 7002:ab199f0eb8e8, when ignoring long locked
cache entries was introduced in ngx_http_file_cache_forced_expire().
- wording in log->action is adjusted to match function names.
- connection close steps are made obvious and start with "quic close" prefix:
*1 quic close initiated rc:-4
*1 quic close silent drain:0 timedout:1
*1 quic close resumed rc:-1
*1 quic close resumed rc:-1
*1 quic close resumed rc:-4
*1 quic close completed
this makes it easy to understand if particular "close" record is an initial
cause or lasting process, or the final one.
- cases of close without quic connection now logged as "packet rejected":
*14 quic run
*14 quic packet rx long flags:ec version:1
*14 quic packet rx hs len:61
*14 quic packet rx dcid len:20 00000000000002c32f60e4aa2b90a64a39dc4228
*14 quic packet rx scid len:8 81190308612cd019
*14 quic expected initial, got handshake
*14 quic packet done rc:-1 level:hs decr:0 pn:0 perr:0
*14 quic packet rejected rc:-1, cleanup connection
*14 reusable connection: 0
this makes it easy to spot early packet rejection and avoid confuse with
quic connection closing (which in fact was not even created).
- packet processing summary now uses same prefix "quic packet done rc:"
- added debug to places where packet was rejected without any reason logged
The NGX_DECLINED is replaced with NGX_DONE to match closer to return code
of ngx_quic_handle_packet() and ngx_quic_close_connection() rc argument.
The ngx_quic_close_connection() rc code is used only when quic connection
exists, thus anything goes if qc == NULL.
The ngx_quic_handle_datagram() does not return NG_OK in cases when quic
connection is not yet created.
Previously, closure detection for server-initiated uni streams was not properly
implemented. Instead, HTTP/3 code relied on QUIC code posting the read event
and setting rev->error when it needed to close the stream. Then, regular
uni stream read handler called c->recv() and received error, which closed the
stream. This was an ad-hoc solution. If, for whatever reason, the read
handler was called earlier, c->recv() would return 0, which would also close
the stream.
Now server-initiated uni streams have a separate read event handler for
tracking stream closure. The handler calls c->recv(), which normally returns
0, but may return error in case of closure.
Sending the instruction is delayed until the end of the current event cycle.
Delaying the instruction is allowed by quic-qpack-21, section 2.2.2.3.
The goal is to reduce the amount of data sent back to client by accumulating
several inserts in one instruction and sometimes not sending the instruction at
all, if Section Acknowledgement was sent just before it.
Operations like ngx_quic_open_stream(), ngx_http_quic_get_connection(),
ngx_http_v3_finalize_connection(), ngx_http_v3_shutdown_connection() used to
receive a QUIC stream connection. Now they can receive the main QUIC
connection as well. This is useful when calling them from a stream context.
