BUG/MEDIUM: mworker/listener: ambiguous use of RX_F_INHERITED with shards
The RX_F_INHERITED flag was ambiguous, as it was used to mark both
listeners inherited from the parent process and listeners duplicated
from another local receiver. This could lead to incorrect behavior
concerning socket unbinding and suspension.

This commit refactors the handling of inherited listeners by splitting
the RX_F_INHERITED flag into two more specific flags:

- RX_F_INHERITED_FD: Indicates a listener inherited from the parent
  process via its file descriptor. These listeners should not be unbound
  by the master.

- RX_F_INHERITED_SOCK: Indicates a listener that shares a socket with
  another one, either by being inherited from the parent or by being
  duplicated from another local listener. These listeners should not be
  suspended or resumed individually.

Previously, the sharding code was unconditionally using RX_F_INHERITED
when duplicating a file descriptor. In HAProxy versions prior to 3.1,
this led to a file descriptor leak for duplicated unix stats sockets in
the master process. This would eventually cause the master to crash with
a BUG_ON in fd_insert() once the file descriptor limit was reached.

This must be backported as far as 3.0. Branches earlier than 3.0 are
affected but would need a different patch as the logic is different.

HAProxy

alpine/musl AWS-LC openssl no-deprecated Illumos NetBSD FreeBSD VTest

HAProxy logo

HAProxy is a free, very fast and reliable reverse-proxy offering high availability, load balancing, and proxying for TCP and HTTP-based applications.

Installation

The INSTALL file describes how to build HAProxy. A list of packages is also available on the wiki.

Getting help

The discourse and the mailing-list are available for questions or configuration assistance. You can also use the slack or IRC channel. Please don't use the issue tracker for these.

The issue tracker is only for bug reports or feature requests.

Documentation

The HAProxy documentation has been split into a number of different files for ease of use. It is available in text format as well as HTML. The wiki is also meant to replace the old architecture guide.

Please refer to the following files depending on what you're looking for:

  • INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install HAProxy
  • BRANCHES to understand the project's life cycle and what version to use
  • LICENSE for the project's license
  • CONTRIBUTING for the process to follow to submit contributions

The more detailed documentation is located into the doc/ directory:
