tasklets were originally designed to alway run on only one thread, so it
was not possible to have it run on 2 threads concurrently.
The API has been extended so that another thread may wake the tasklet,
the idea was still that we wanted to have it run on one thread only.
However, the way it's been done meant that unless a tasklet was bound to
a specific tid with tasklet_set_tid(), or we explicitely used
tasklet_wakeup_on() to specify the thread for the target to run on, it
would be scheduled to run on the current thread.
This is in fact a desirable feature. There is however a race condition
in which the tasklet would be scheduled on a thread, while it is running
on another. This could lead to the same tasklet to run on multiple
threads, which we do not want.
To fix this, just do what we already do for regular tasks, set the
"TASK_RUNNING" flag, and when it's time to execute the tasklet, wait
until that flag is gone.
Only one case has been found in the current code, where the tasklet
could run on different threads depending on who wakes it up, in the
leastconn load balancer, since commit

HAProxy
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.
