Similar to 70e65bf8dfd7, the change is made to ensure that the ability to
cancel resolver tasks is fully controlled by the caller. As mentioned in the
referenced commit, it is safe to make this timer cancelable because resolve
tasks can have their own timeouts that are not cancelable.
The scenario where this may become a problem is a periodic background resolve
task (not tied to a specific request or a client connection), which receives a
response with short TTL, large enough to warrant fallback to a TCP query.
With each event loop wakeup, we either have a previously set write timer
instance or schedule a new one. The non-cancelable write timer can delay or
block graceful shutdown of a worker even if the ngx_resolver_ctx_t->cancelable
flag is set by the API user, and there are no other tasks or connections.
We use the resolver API in this way to maintain the list of upstream server
addresses specified with the 'resolve' parameter, and there could be third-party
modules implementing similar logic.
When we generate the last_buf buffer for an UDP upstream recv error, it does
not contain any data from the wire. ngx_stream_write_filter attempts to forward
it anyways, which is incorrect (e.g., UDP upstream ECONNREFUSED will be
translated to an empty packet).
This happens because we mark the buffer as both 'flush' and 'last_buf', and
ngx_stream_write_filter has special handling for flush with certain types of
connections (see d127837c714f, 32b0ba4855a6). The flags are meant to be
mutually exclusive, so the fix is to ensure that flush and last_buf are not set
at the same time.
Reproduction:
stream {
upstream unreachable {
server 127.0.0.1:8880;
}
server {
listen 127.0.0.1:8998 udp;
proxy_pass unreachable;
}
}

Fixes d127837c714f.
Both "count" and "duration" variables are 32-bit, so their product might
potentially overflow. It is used to reduce 64-bit start_time variable,
and with very large start_time this can result in incorrect seeking.

Now, if the directive is given an empty string, such configuration cancels
loading of certificates, in particular, if they would be otherwise inherited
from the previous level. This restores previous behaviour, before variables
support in certificates was introduced (3ab8e1e2f0f7).
Previously, if caching was disabled due to Expires in the past, nginx
failed to cache the response even if it was cacheable as per subsequently
parsed Cache-Control header (ticket #964).
Similarly, if caching was disabled due to Expires in the past,
"Cache-Control: no-cache" or "Cache-Control: max-age=0", caching was not
used if it was cacheable as per subsequently parsed X-Accel-Expires header.
Fix is to avoid disabling caching immediately after parsing Expires in
the past or Cache-Control, but rather set flags which are later checked by
ngx_http_upstream_process_headers() (and cleared by "Cache-Control: max-age"
and X-Accel-Expires).
Additionally, now X-Accel-Expires does not prevent parsing of cache control
extensions, notably stale-while-revalidate and stale-if-error. This
ensures that order of the X-Accel-Expires and Cache-Control headers is not
important.

If a module adds multiple WWW-Authenticate headers (ticket #485) to the
response, linked in r->headers_out.www_authenticate, all headers are now
cleared if another module later allows access.
This change is a nop for standard modules, since the only access module which
can add multiple WWW-Authenticate headers is the auth request module, and
it is checked after other standard access modules. Though this might
affect some third party access modules.
Note that if a 3rd party module adds a single WWW-Authenticate header
and not yet modified to set the header's next pointer to NULL, attempt to
clear such a header with this change will result in a segmentation fault.
When using auth_request with an upstream server which returns 401
(Unauthorized), multiple WWW-Authenticate headers from the upstream server
response are now properly copied to the response.
When using proxy_intercept_errors and an error page for error 401
(Unauthorized), multiple WWW-Authenticate headers from the upstream server
response are now properly copied to the response.
Most of the known duplicate upstream response headers are now ignored
with a warning.
If syntax permits multiple headers, these are now properly linked to
the lists, notably Vary and WWW-Authenticate. This makes it possible
to further handle such lists where it makes sense.
With this change, duplicate Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding headers
are now rejected. Further, responses with invalid Content-Length or
Transfer-Encoding headers are now rejected, as well as responses with both
Content-Length and Transfer-Encoding.
The h->next pointer properly provided as NULL in all cases where known
output headers are added.
Note that there are 3rd party modules which might not do this, and it
might be risky to rely on this for arbitrary headers.
Since introduction of offset handling in ngx_http_upstream_copy_header_line()
in revision 573:58475592100c, the ngx_http_upstream_copy_content_encoding()
function is no longer needed, as its behaviour is exactly equivalent to
ngx_http_upstream_copy_header_line() with appropriate offset. As such,
the ngx_http_upstream_copy_content_encoding() function was removed.
Further, the u->headers_in.content_encoding field is not used anywhere,
so it was removed as well.
Further, Content-Encoding handling no longer depends on NGX_HTTP_GZIP,
as it can be used even without any gzip handling compiled in (for example,
in the charset filter).
As all known input headers are now linked lists, these are now handled
identically. In particular, this makes it possible to access properly
combined values of headers not specifically handled previously, such
as "Via" or "Connection".
The ngx_http_process_multi_header_lines() function is removed, as it is
exactly equivalent to ngx_http_process_header_line(). Similarly,
ngx_http_variable_header() is used instead of ngx_http_variable_headers().
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().
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.
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.
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.
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().
Chrome only uses TLS session tickets once with TLS 1.3, likely following
RFC 8446 Appendix C.4 recommendation. With OpenSSL, this works fine with
built-in session tickets, since these are explicitly renewed in case of
TLS 1.3 on each session reuse, but results in only two connections being
reused after an initial handshake when using ssl_session_ticket_key.
Fix is to always renew TLS session tickets in case of TLS 1.3 when using
ssl_session_ticket_key, similarly to how it is done by OpenSSL internally.
Line continuation as used in the syntax file might be broken if "compatible"
is set or "C" is added to cpoptions. Fix is to set the "cpoptions" option
to vim default value at script start and restore it later, see
":help use-cpo-save".
When a worker process is shutting down, keepalive is not used: this is checked
before the ngx_http_set_keepalive() call in ngx_http_finalize_connection().
Yet the "Connection: keep-alive" header was still sent, even if we know that
the worker process is shutting down, potentially resulting in additional
requests being sent to the connection which is going to be closed anyway.
While clients are expected to be able to handle asynchronous close events
(see ticket #1022), it is certainly possible to send the "Connection: close"
header instead, informing the client that the connection is going to be closed
and potentially saving some unneeded work.
With this change, we additionally check for worker process shutdown just
before sending response headers, and disable keepalive accordingly.
