Now "fastopen", "backlog", "accept_filter", "deferred", and "so_keepalive"
parameters are not allowed with "quic" in the "listen" directive.

When filter finalization is triggered when working with an upstream server,
and error_page redirects request processing to some simple handler,
ngx_http_request_finalize() triggers request termination when the response
is sent. In particular, via the upstream cleanup handler, nginx will close
the upstream connection and the corresponding socket.
Still, this can happen to be with ngx_event_pipe() on stack. While
the code will set p->downstream_error due to NGX_ERROR returned from the
output filter chain by filter finalization, otherwise the error will be
ignored till control returns to ngx_http_upstream_process_request().
And event pipe might try reading from the (already closed) socket, resulting
in "readv() failed (9: Bad file descriptor) while reading upstream" errors
(or even segfaults with SSL).
Such errors were seen with the following configuration:
location /t2 {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080/big;
image_filter_buffer 10m;
image_filter resize 150 100;
error_page 415 = /empty;
}
location /empty {
return 204;
}
location /big {
# big enough static file
}
Fix is to clear p->upstream in ngx_http_upstream_finalize_request(),
and ensure that p->upstream is checked in ngx_event_pipe_read_upstream()
and when handling events at ngx_event_pipe() exit.

When a request was terminated due to an error via ngx_http_terminate_request()
while an AIO operation was running in a subrequest, various issues were
observed. This happened because ngx_http_request_finalizer() was only set
in the subrequest where ngx_http_terminate_request() was called, but not
in the subrequest where the AIO operation was running. After completion
of the AIO operation normal processing of the subrequest was resumed, leading
to issues.
In particular, in case of the upstream module, termination of the request
called upstream cleanup, which closed the upstream connection. Attempts to
further work with the upstream connection after AIO operation completion
resulted in segfaults in ngx_ssl_recv(), "readv() failed (9: Bad file
descriptor) while reading upstream" errors, or socket leaks.
In ticket #2555, issues were observed with the following configuration
with cache background update (with thread writing instrumented to
introduce a delay, when a client closes the connection during an update):
location = /background-and-aio-write {
proxy_pass ...
proxy_cache one;
proxy_cache_valid 200 1s;
proxy_cache_background_update on;
proxy_cache_use_stale updating;
aio threads;
aio_write on;
limit_rate 1000;
}
Similarly, the same issue can be seen with SSI, and can be caused by
errors in subrequests, such as in the following configuration
(where "/proxy" uses AIO, and "/sleep" returns 444 after some delay,
causing request termination):
location = /ssi-active-boom {
ssi on;
ssi_types *;
return 200 '
<!--#include virtual="/proxy" -->
<!--#include virtual="/sleep" -->
';
limit_rate 1000;
}
Or the same with both AIO operation and the error in non-active subrequests
(which needs slightly different handling, see below):
location = /ssi-non-active-boom {
ssi on;
ssi_types *;
return 200 '
<!--#include virtual="/static" -->
<!--#include virtual="/proxy" -->
<!--#include virtual="/sleep" -->
';
limit_rate 1000;
}
Similarly, issues can be observed with just static files. However,
with static files potential impact is limited due to timeout safeguards
in ngx_http_writer(), and the fact that c->error is set during request
termination.
In a simple configuration with an AIO operation in the active subrequest,
such as in the following configuration, the connection is closed right
after completion of the AIO operation anyway, since ngx_http_writer()
tries to write to the connection and fails due to c->error set:
location = /ssi-active-static-boom {
ssi on;
ssi_types *;
return 200 '
<!--#include virtual="/static-aio" -->
<!--#include virtual="/sleep" -->
';
limit_rate 1000;
}
In the following configuration, with an AIO operation in a non-active
subrequest, the connection is closed only after send_timeout expires:
location = /ssi-non-active-static-boom {
ssi on;
ssi_types *;
return 200 '
<!--#include virtual="/static" -->
<!--#include virtual="/static-aio" -->
<!--#include virtual="/sleep" -->
';
limit_rate 1000;
}
Fix is to introduce r->main->terminated flag, which is to be checked
by AIO event handlers when the r->main->blocked counter is decremented.
When the flag is set, handlers are expected to wake up the connection
instead of the subrequest (which might be already cleaned up).
Additionally, now ngx_http_request_finalizer() is always set in the
active subrequest, so waking up the connection properly finalizes the
request even if termination happened in a non-active subrequest.

Each AIO (thread IO) operation being run is now accompanied with 1-minute
timer. This timer prevents unexpected shutdown of the worker process while
an AIO operation is running, and logs an alert if the operation is running
for too long.
This fixes "open socket left" alerts during worker processes shutdown
due to pending AIO (or thread IO) operations while corresponding requests
have no timers. In particular, such errors were observed while reading
cache headers (ticket #2162), and with worker_shutdown_timeout.

If URI is not fully parsed yet, some pointers are not set. As a result,
the calculation of "new + (ptr - old)" expression is flawed.
According to C11, 6.5.6 Additive operators, p.9:
: When two pointers are subtracted, both shall point to elements
: of the same array object, or one past the last element of the
: array object
Since "ptr" is not set, subtraction leads to undefined behaviour, because
"ptr" and "old" are not in the same buffer (i.e. array objects).
Prodded by GCC undefined behaviour sanitizer.
|
|
Neither r->port_start nor r->port_end were ever used.
The r->port_end is set by the parser, though it was never used by
the following code (and was never usable, since not copied by the
ngx_http_alloc_large_header_buffer() without r->port_start set).

As part of normal HTTP/2 processing, incomplete frames are saved in the
control state using a fixed size memcpy of NGX_HTTP_V2_STATE_BUFFER_SIZE.
For this matter, two state buffers are reserved in the HTTP/2 recv buffer.
As part of HTTP/2 auto-detection on plain TCP connections, initial data
is first read into a buffer specified by the client_header_buffer_size
directive that doesn't have state reservation. Previously, this made it
possible to over-read the buffer as part of saving the state.
The fix is to read the available buffer size rather than a fixed size.
Although memcpy of a fixed size can produce a better optimized code,
handling of incomplete frames isn't a common execution path, so it was
sacrificed for the sake of simplicity of the fix.

To ensure that attempts to flood servers with many streams are detected
early, a limit of no more than 2 * max_concurrent_streams new streams per one
event loop iteration was introduced. This limit is applied even if
max_concurrent_streams is not yet reached - for example, if corresponding
streams are handled synchronously or reset.
Further, refused streams are now limited to maximum of max_concurrent_streams
and 100, similarly to priority_limit initial value, providing some tolerance
to clients trying to open several streams at the connection start, yet
low tolerance to flooding attempts.

Now the session object is assigned to c->data while ngx_http_connection_t
object is referenced by its http_connection field, similar to
ngx_http_v2_connection_t and ngx_http_request_t.
The change allows to eliminate v3_session field from ngx_http_connection_t.
The field was under NGX_HTTP_V3 macro, which was a source of binary
compatibility problems when nginx/module is build with/without HTTP/3 support.
Postponing is essential since c->data should retain the reference to
ngx_http_connection_t object throughout QUIC handshake, because SSL callbacks
ngx_http_ssl_servername() and ngx_http_ssl_alpn_select() rely on this.
|
|
|
|
Previously QUIC did not have such parameter and handshake duration was
controlled by HTTP/3. However that required creating and storing HTTP/3
session on first client datagram. Apparently there's no convenient way to
store the session object until QUIC handshake is complete. In the followup
patches session creation will be postponed to init() callback.

Status header with an empty reason-phrase, such as "Status: 404 ", is
valid per CGI specification, but looses the trailing space during parsing.
Currently, this results in "HTTP/1.1 404" HTTP status line in the response,
which violates HTTP specification due to missing trailing space.
With this change, only the status code is used from such short Status
header lines, so nginx will generate status line itself, with the space
and appropriate reason phrase if available.

Although it has better implementation status than HTTP/3 server push,
it remains of limited use, with adoption numbers seen as negligible.
Per IETF 102 materials, server push was used only in 0.04% of sessions.
It was considered to be "difficult to use effectively" in RFC 9113.
Its use is further limited by badly matching to fetch/cache/connection
models in browsers, see related discussions linked from [1].
Server push was disabled in Chrome 106 [2].
The http2_push, http2_push_preload, and http2_max_concurrent_pushes
directives are made obsolete. In particular, this essentially reverts
7201:641306096f5b and 7207:3d2b0b02bd3d.

It has been deprecated since 7270:46c0c7ef4913 (1.15.0) in favour of
the "ssl" parameter of the "listen" directive, which has been available
since 2224:109849282793 (0.7.14).
|
|
The directive enables HTTP/2 in the current server. The previous way to
enable HTTP/2 via "listen ... http2" is now deprecated. The new approach
allows to share HTTP/2 and HTTP/0.9-1.1 on the same port.
For SSL connections, HTTP/2 is now selected by ALPN callback based on whether
the protocol is enabled in the virtual server chosen by SNI. This however only
works since OpenSSL 1.0.2h, where ALPN callback is invoked after SNI callback.
For older versions of OpenSSL, HTTP/2 is enabled based on the default virtual
server configuration.
For plain TCP connections, HTTP/2 is now auto-detected by HTTP/2 preface, if
HTTP/2 is enabled in the default virtual server. If preface is not matched,
HTTP/0.9-1.1 is assumed.

Previously, ngx_udp_rbtree_insert_value() was used for plain UDP and
ngx_quic_rbtree_insert_value() was used for QUIC. Because of this it was
impossible to initialize connection tree in ngx_create_listening() since
this function is not aware what kind of listening it creates.
Now ngx_udp_rbtree_insert_value() is used for both QUIC and UDP. To make
is possible, a generic key field is added to ngx_udp_connection_t. It keeps
client address for UDP and connection ID for QUIC.
|
|
|
|
The parameter has been deprecated since c851a2ed5ce8.
|
|
The directive used to set the value of the "max_udp_payload_size" transport
parameter. According to RFC 9000, Section 18.2, the value specifies the size
of buffer for reading incoming datagrams:
This limit does act as an additional constraint on datagram size in
the same way as the path MTU, but it is a property of the endpoint
and not the path; see Section 14. It is expected that this is the
space an endpoint dedicates to holding incoming packets.
Current QUIC implementation uses the maximum possible buffer size (65527) for
reading datagrams.

The existing logic to evaluate multi header "$sent_http_*" variables,
such as $sent_http_cache_control, as previously introduced in 1.23.0,
doesn't take into account that one or more elements can be cleared,
yet still present in a linked list, pointed to by the next field.
Such elements don't contribute to the resulting variable length, an
attempt to append a separator for them ends up in out of bounds write.
This is not possible with standard modules, though at least one third
party module is known to override multi header values this way, so it
makes sense to harden the logic.
The fix restores a generic boundary check.

A QUIC connection is not usable yet at this early stage of spin up.

It now uses custom alloc_aligned() wrapper for all allocations,
therefore all allocations are larger than expected by (64 + sizeof(void*)).
Further, they are seen as allocations of 1 element. Relevant calculations
were adjusted to reflect this, and state allocation is now protected
with a flag to avoid misinterpreting other allocations as the zlib
deflate_state allocation.
Further, it no longer forces window bits to 13 on compression level 1,
so the comment was adjusted to reflect this.

SSL context is not present if the default server has neither certificates nor
ssl_reject_handshake enabled. Previously, this led to null pointer dereference
before it would be caught with configuration checks.
Additionally, non-default servers with distinct SSL contexts need to initialize
compatibility layer in order to complete a QUIC handshake.
|
|
Similarly to 7192:d5a535774861, this avoids spurious zero statuses
in access.log, and in line with other header-related errors.
|
|
Similarly to ticket #274 (7354:1812f1d79d84), early request finalization
without calling ngx_http_run_posted_requests() resulted in a connection
hang (a socket leak) if the 400 (Bad Request) error was generated in
ngx_http_v2_state_process_header() due to invalid request headers and
"return 444" was used in error_page 400.

This is expected to help with clients using pipelining with some constant
depth, such as apt[1][2].
When downloading many resources, apt uses pipelining with some constant
depth, a number of requests in flight. This essentially means that after
receiving a response it sends an additional request to the server, and
this can result in requests arriving to the server at any time. Further,
additional requests are sent one-by-one, and can be easily seen as such
(neither as pipelined, nor followed by pipelined requests).
The only safe approach to close such connections (for example, when
keepalive_requests is reached) is with lingering. To do so, now nginx
monitors if pipelining was used on the connection, and if it was, closes
the connection with lingering.

Since 4611:2b6cb7528409 responses from the gzip static, flv, and mp4 modules
can be used with subrequests, though empty files were not properly handled.
Empty gzipped, flv, and mp4 files thus resulted in "zero size buf in output"
alerts. While valid corresponding files are not expected to be empty, such
files shouldn't result in alerts.
Fix is to set b->sync on such empty subrequest responses, similarly to what
ngx_http_send_special() does.
Additionally, the static module, the ngx_http_send_response() function, and
file cache are modified to do the same instead of not sending the response
body at all in such cases, since not sending the response body at all is
believed to be at least questionable, and might break various filters
which do not expect such behaviour.

The "listen" directive in the http module can be used multiple times
in different server blocks. Originally, it was supposed to be specified
once with various socket options, and without any parameters in virtual
server blocks. For example:
server { listen 80 backlog=1024; server_name foo; ... }
server { listen 80; server_name bar; ... }
server { listen 80; server_name bazz; ... }
The address part of the syntax ("address[:port]" / "port" / "unix:path")
uniquely identifies the listening socket, and therefore is enough for
name-based virtual servers (to let nginx know that the virtual server
accepts requests on the listening socket in question).
To ensure that listening options do not conflict between virtual servers,
they were allowed only once. For example, the following configuration
will be rejected ("duplicate listen options for 0.0.0.0:80 in ..."):
server { listen 80 backlog=1024; server_name foo; ... }
server { listen 80 backlog=512; server_name bar; ... }
At some point it was, however, noticed, that it is sometimes convenient
to repeat some options for clarity. In nginx 0.8.51 the "ssl" parameter
was allowed to be specified multiple times, e.g.:
server { listen 443 ssl backlog=1024; server_name foo; ... }
server { listen 443 ssl; server_name bar; ... }
server { listen 443 ssl; server_name bazz; ... }
This approach makes configuration more readable, since SSL sockets are
immediately visible in the configuration. If this is not needed, just the
address can still be used.
Later, additional protocol-specific options similar to "ssl" were
introduced, notably "http2" and "proxy_protocol". With these options,
one can write:
server { listen 443 ssl backlog=1024; server_name foo; ... }
server { listen 443 http2; server_name bar; ... }
server { listen 443 proxy_protocol; server_name bazz; ... }
The resulting socket will use ssl, http2, and proxy_protocol, but this
is not really obvious from the configuration.
To emphasize such misleading configurations are discouraged, nginx now
warns as long as the "listen" directive is used with options different
from the options previously used if this is potentially confusing.
In particular, the following configurations are allowed:
server { listen 8401 ssl backlog=1024; server_name foo; }
server { listen 8401 ssl; server_name bar; }
server { listen 8401 ssl; server_name bazz; }
server { listen 8402 ssl http2 backlog=1024; server_name foo; }
server { listen 8402 ssl; server_name bar; }
server { listen 8402 ssl; server_name bazz; }
server { listen 8403 ssl; server_name bar; }
server { listen 8403 ssl; server_name bazz; }
server { listen 8403 ssl http2; server_name foo; }
server { listen 8404 ssl http2 backlog=1024; server_name foo; }
server { listen 8404 http2; server_name bar; }
server { listen 8404 http2; server_name bazz; }
server { listen 8405 ssl http2 backlog=1024; server_name foo; }
server { listen 8405 ssl http2; server_name bar; }
server { listen 8405 ssl http2; server_name bazz; }
server { listen 8406 ssl; server_name foo; }
server { listen 8406; server_name bar; }
server { listen 8406; server_name bazz; }
And the following configurations will generate warnings:
server { listen 8501 ssl http2 backlog=1024; server_name foo; }
server { listen 8501 http2; server_name bar; }
server { listen 8501 ssl; server_name bazz; }
server { listen 8502 backlog=1024; server_name foo; }
server { listen 8502 ssl; server_name bar; }
server { listen 8503 ssl; server_name foo; }
server { listen 8503 http2; server_name bar; }
server { listen 8504 ssl; server_name foo; }
server { listen 8504 http2; server_name bar; }
server { listen 8504 proxy_protocol; server_name bazz; }
server { listen 8505 ssl http2 proxy_protocol; server_name foo; }
server { listen 8505 ssl http2; server_name bar; }
server { listen 8505 ssl; server_name bazz; }
server { listen 8506 ssl http2; server_name foo; }
server { listen 8506 ssl; server_name bar; }
server { listen 8506; server_name bazz; }
server { listen 8507 ssl; server_name bar; }
server { listen 8507; server_name bazz; }
server { listen 8507 ssl http2; server_name foo; }
server { listen 8508 ssl; server_name bar; }
server { listen 8508; server_name bazz; }
server { listen 8508 ssl backlog=1024; server_name foo; }
server { listen 8509; server_name bazz; }
server { listen 8509 ssl; server_name bar; }
server { listen 8509 ssl backlog=1024; server_name foo; }
The basic idea is that at most two sets of protocol options are allowed:
the main one (with socket options, if any), and a shorter one, with options
being a subset of the main options, repeated for clarity. As long as the
shorter set of protocol options is used, all listen directives except the
main one should use it.
|
|
Now "ssl", "proxy_protocol" and "http2" are not allowed with "quic" in "listen"
directive. Previously, only "ssl" was not allowed.
|
|
Now "listen" directve has a new "quic" parameter which enables QUIC protocol
for the address. Further, to enable HTTP/3, a new directive "http3" is
introduced. The hq-interop protocol is enabled by "http3_hq" as before.
Now application protocol is chosen by ALPN.
Previously used "http3" parameter of "listen" is deprecated.
|
|
The change allows to compile QUIC with OpenSSL which lacks BoringSSL QUIC API.
This implementation does not support 0-RTT.
|
|
Previously, location prefix length in ngx_http_location_tree_node_t was
stored as "u_char", and therefore location prefixes longer than 255 bytes
were handled incorrectly.
Fix is to use "u_short" instead. With "u_short", prefixes up to 65535 bytes
can be safely used, and this isn't reachable due to NGX_CONF_BUFFER, which
is 4096 bytes.
|
|
In contrast to on-the-fly gzipping with gzip filter, static gzipped
representation as returned by gzip_static is persistent, and therefore
the same binary representation is available for future requests, making
it possible to use range requests.
Further, if a gzipped representation is re-generated with different
compression settings, it is expected to result in different ETag and
different size reported in the Content-Range header, making it possible
to safely use range requests anyway.
As such, ranges are now allowed for files returned by gzip_static.
|
|
Previously, there was no timeout for a request stream blocked on insert count,
which could result in infinite wait. Now client_header_timeout is set when
stream is first blocked.
|
|
Previously, stream was closed with NGX_HTTP_CLOSE. However, in a similar case
when recv() returns eof or error, status 400 is triggered.
|
|
Previously, start_time wasn't set for a new stream.
The fix is to derive it from the parent connection.
Also it's used to simplify tracking keepalive_time.
|
|
As per RFC 9204, section 3.2.2, a new entry can reference an entry in the
dynamic table that will be evicted when adding this new entry into the dynamic
table.
Previously, such inserts resulted in use-after-free since the old entry was
evicted before the insertion (ticket #2431). Now it's evicted after the
insertion.
This change fixes Insert with Name Reference and Duplicate encoder instructions.
|
|
|
|
Ports difference must be respected when checking addresses for duplicates,
otherwise configurations like this are broken:
listen 127.0.0.1:6000-6005
It was broken by 4cc2bfeff46c (nginx 1.23.3).
