When closing a socket with SO_REUSEPORT, Linux drops all connections waiting
in this socket's listen queue. Previously, it was believed to only result
in connection resets when reconfiguring nginx to use smaller number of worker
processes. It also results in connection resets during configuration
testing though.
Workaround is to avoid using SO_REUSEPORT when testing configuration. It
should prevent listening sockets from being created if a conflicting socket
already exists, while still preserving detection of other possible errors.
It should also cover UDP sockets.
The only downside of this approach seems to be that a configuration testing
won't be able to properly report the case when nginx was compiled with
SO_REUSEPORT, but the kernel is not able to set it. Such errors will be
reported on a real start instead.
Suffix ranges no longer allowed to set negative start values, to prevent
ranges with negative start from appearing even if total size protection
will be removed.
The overflow can be used to circumvent the restriction on total size of
ranges introduced in c2a91088b0c0 (1.1.2). Additionally, overflow
allows producing ranges with negative start (such ranges can be created
by using a suffix, "bytes=-100"; normally this results in 200 due to
the total size check). These can result in the following errors in logs:
[crit] ... pread() ... failed (22: Invalid argument)
[alert] ... sendfile() failed (22: Invalid argument)
When using cache, it can be also used to reveal cache file header.
It is believed that there are no other negative effects, at least with
standard nginx modules.
In theory, this can also result in memory disclosure and/or segmentation
faults if multiple ranges are allowed, and the response is returned in a
single in-memory buffer. This never happens with standard nginx modules
though, as well as known 3rd party modules.
Fix is to properly protect from possible overflow when incrementing size.
It is safe because re-sending still works during graceful shutdown as
long as resolving takes place (and resolve tasks set their own timeouts
that are not cancelable).
Also, the new ctx->cancelable flag can be set to make resolve task's
timeout event cancelable.
Notably, on ppc64 with 64k pagesize, slab 0 (of size 8) requires
128 64-bit elements for bitmasks. The code bogusly assumed that
one uintptr_t is enough for bitmasks plus at least one free slot.
Resolving an SRV record includes resolving its host names in subrequests.
Previously, if memory allocation failed while reporting a subrequest result
after receiving a response from a DNS server, the SRV resolve handler was
called immediately with the NGX_ERROR state. However, if the SRV record
included another copy of the resolved name, it was reported once again.
This could trigger the use-after-free memory access after SRV resolve
handler freed the resolve context by calling ngx_resolve_name_done().
Now the SRV resolve handler is called only when all its subrequests are
completed.
Previously, each configured header was represented in one of two ways,
depending on whether or not its value included any variables.
If the value didn't include any variables, then it would be represented
as as a single script that contained complete header line with HTTP/1.1
delimiters, i.e.:
"Header: value\r\n"
But if the value included any variables, then it would be represented
as a series of three scripts: first contained header name and the ": "
delimiter, second evaluated to header value, and third contained only
"\r\n", i.e.:
"Header: "
"$value"
"\r\n"
This commit changes that, so that each configured header is represented
as a series of two scripts: first contains only header name, and second
contains (or evaluates to) only header value, i.e.:
"Header"
"$value"
or
"Header"
"value"
This not only makes things more consistent, but also allows header name
and value to be accessed separately.

As per RFC 2616 / RFC 7233, any range request to an empty file
is expected to result in 416 Range Not Satisfiable response, as
there cannot be a "byte-range-spec whose first-byte-pos is less
than the current length of the entity-body". On the other hand,
this makes use of byte-range requests inconvenient in some cases,
as reported for the slice module here:
http://mailman.nginx.org/pipermail/nginx-devel/2017-June/010177.html
This commit changes range filter to instead return 200 if the file
is empty and the range requested starts at 0.
This change reworks 13a5f4765887 to only run posted requests once,
with nothing on stack. Running posted requests with other request
functions on stack may result in use-after-free in case of errors,
similar to the one reported in #788.
To only run posted request once, a separate function was introduced
to be used as ssl handshake handler in c->ssl->handler,
ngx_http_upstream_ssl_handshake_handler(). The ngx_http_run_posted_requests()
is only called in this function, and not in ngx_http_upstream_ssl_handshake()
which may be called directly on stack.
Additionaly, ngx_http_upstream_ssl_handshake_handler() now does appropriate
debug logging of the current subrequest, similar to what is done in other
event handlers.
Previously, the upstream resolve handler always called
ngx_http_run_posted_requests() to run posted requests after processing the
resolver response. However, if the handler was called directly from the
ngx_resolve_name() function (for example, if the resolver response was cached),
running posted requests from the handler could lead to the following errors:
- If the request was scheduled for termination, it could actually be terminated
in the resolve handler. Upper stack frames could reference the freed request
object in this case.
- If a significant number of requests were posted, and for each of them the
resolve handler was called directly from the ngx_resolve_name() function,
posted requests could be run recursively and lead to stack overflow.
Now ngx_http_run_posted_requests() is only called from asynchronously invoked
resolve handlers.
Trailers added using this directive are evaluated after response body
is processed by output filters (but before it's written to the wire),
so it's possible to use variables calculated from the response body
as the trailer value.

Example:
ngx_table_elt_t *h;
h = ngx_list_push(&r->headers_out.trailers);
if (h == NULL) {
return NGX_ERROR;
}
ngx_str_set(&h->key, "Fun");
ngx_str_set(&h->value, "with trailers");
h->hash = ngx_hash_key_lc(h->key.data, h->key.len);
The code above adds "Fun: with trailers" trailer to the response.
Modules that want to emit trailers must set r->expect_trailers = 1
in header filter, otherwise they might not be emitted for HTTP/1.1
responses that aren't already chunked.
This change also adds $sent_trailer_* variables.

The current style in variable handlers returning NGX_OK is to either set
v->not_found to 1, or to initialize the entire ngx_http_variable_value_t
structure.
In theory, always setting v->valid = 1 for NGX_OK would be useful, which
would mean that the value was computed and is thus valid, including the
special case of v->not_found = 1. But currently that's not the case and
causes the (v->valid || v->not_found) check to access an uninitialized
v->valid value, which is safe only because its value doesn't matter when
v->not_found is set.
When evaluating a mapped $reset_uid variable in the userid filter,
if get_handler set to ngx_http_map_variable() returned an error,
this previously resulted in a NULL pointer dereference.
If memory allocation of a new r->uri.data storage failed, reset its length as
well. Request URI is used in ngx_http_finalize_request() for debug logging.
Previously, when using NGX_HTTP_SSI_ERROR, error was ignored in ssi processing,
thus timefmt could be accessed later in ngx_http_ssi_date_gmt_local_variable()
as part of "set" handler, or NULL format pointer could be passed to strftime().
Previously, SETTINGS ACK was sent immediately upon receipt of SETTINGS
frame, before already queued DATA frames created using old SETTINGS.
This incorrect behavior was source of interoperability issues, because
peers rely on the fact that new SETTINGS are in effect after receiving
SETTINGS ACK.

Previously, new frames could be emitted in the middle of applying
new (and already acknowledged) SETTINGS params, which is illegal.

On Cygwin and NetBSD 7.0+ struct in_pktinfo has no ipi_spec_dst field, which
caused nginx compilation error. Now presence of this field is ensured by the
IP_PKTINFO feature test.
The problem was introduced by dbb0c854e308 (1.13.0).
If the main request was finalized while a background request performed an
asynchronous operation, the main request ended up in ngx_http_writer() and was
not finalized until a network event or a timeout. For example, cache
background update with aio enabled made nginx unable to process further client
requests or close the connection, keeping it open until client closes it.
Now regular finalization of the main request is not suspended because of an
asynchronous operation in another request.
If a background request was terminated while an asynchronous operation was in
progress, background request's write event handler was changed to
ngx_http_request_finalizer() and never called again.
Now, whenever a request is terminated while an asynchronous operation is in
progress, connection error flag is set to make further finalizations of any
request with this connection lead to termination.
These issues appeared in 1aeaae6e9446 (not yet released).
