Jean-Frederic Clere updated MODCLUSTER-543:
-------------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 1.3.6.Final
> BalancerMember directives don't work and casue SegFaults
> ---------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MODCLUSTER-543
> URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/MODCLUSTER-543
> Project: mod_cluster
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Native (httpd modules)
> Affects Versions: 1.3.3.Final, 1.2.13.Final
> Environment: RHEL (others definitely too)
> Reporter: Michal Karm Babacek
> Assignee: Jean-Frederic Clere
> Labels: balancerMember, proxy
> Fix For: 1.3.6.Final
>
> Attachments: clusterbench.war, mod_cluster.conf, proxy_test.conf, tses.war
>
>
> There has been an ongoing discussion about interoperability between BalancerMember and ProxyPass directives and mod_cluster. This is a follow up on MODCLUSTER-391 and especially MODCLUSTER-356.
> h3. TL;DR
> * BalancerMember directives don't work as expected (at all)
> * it is possible to use it to cause SegFault in httpd
> * If these directives are *supposed to work*, then I have a wrong configuration or it is a bug to be fixed
> * If they are *not supposed to work* in conjunction with mod_cluster, then I should stop trying to test these and remove all ever-failing scenarios from the test suite
> h3. Configuration and goal
> * two web apps, [^clusterbench.war] and [^tses.war], both deployed on each of two tomcats
> * one web app is in excluded contexts (it is [^tses.war])
> * the other one ([^clusterbench]) is registered with mod_cluster balancer
> * main server: {{\*:2080}}
> * mod_cluster VirtualHost: {{\*:8747}}
> * proxyPass BalancerMember VirtualHost {{\*:2081}}
> * I want to access [^clusterbench.war] via {{\*:8747}} and {{\*:2080}} (works (/)), and [^tses.war] via {{\*:2081}} (fails (x))
> * see [^proxy_test.conf] for BalancerMember configuration (taken from httpd 2.2.26 test run, you must edit Location access)
> * see [^mod_cluster.conf] for mod_cluster configuration (taken from httpd 2.2.26 test run, as above)
> h3. Test
> * (/) check, that only [^clusterbench.war] is registered and everything is cool: [mod_cluster-manager console|https://gist.github.com/Karm/26015dabf446360b0e019da6c907bed5]
> * (/) [^clusterbench.war] on mod_cluster VirtualHost works: {{curl http://192.168.122.172:8747/clusterbench/requestinfo}}
> * (/) [^clusterbench.war] on main server also works: {{curl http://192.168.122.172:2080/clusterbench/requestinfo}} (it works due to MODCLUSTER-430)
> * httpd 2.2.26 / mod_cluster 1.2.13.Final:
> ** (x) [^tses.war] on BalancerMember ProxyPass VirtualHost fails: {{curl http://192.168.122.172:2081/tses}} with: {noformat}mod_proxy_cluster.c(2374): proxy: byrequests balancer FAILED
> proxy: CLUSTER: (balancer://xqacluster). All workers are in error state
> {noformat} and it doesn't matter whether I configure the same balancer (qacluster) for both mod_cluster and additional BalancerMemebr directives or if I have two balancers (this case).
> ** (x) [^clusterbench.war] on BalancerMember ProxyPass VirtualHost sometimes works and sometimes causes SegFault {{curl http://192.168.122.172:2081/clusterbench/requestinfo}} (see below)
> * httpd 2.4.23 / mod_cluster 1.3.3.Final:
> ** (x) [^tses.war] on BalancerMember ProxyPass VirtualHost fails with {{curl http://192.168.122.172:2081/tses}} SegFault, *always* (see below)
> ** (/) [^clusterbench.war] on BalancerMember ProxyPass VirtualHost works {{curl http://192.168.122.172:2081/clusterbench/requestinfo}}
> h3. Intermittent and stable SegFaults
> h4. httpd 2.2.26 / mod_cluster 1.2.13.Final (EWS 2.1.1)
> With the aforementioned setup, it is possible to cause SegFault roughly in 50% of requests to {{curl http://192.168.122.172:2081/clusterbench/requestinfo}} on httpd 2.2.26 mod_cluster 1.2.13.Final, the rest passes fine and the web app is served.

> h3. About the test
> This test has always been failing in one way or another: not serving URL (HTTP 404), returning All workers in Error state (HTTP 503). SegFault has been slipping under the radar for some time, because the test ended up on assert earlier in the scenario - on the first HTTP 503.
> We should clearly document which BalancerMember integration is supported and which is not. Furthermore, we must not SegFault even if user tries to do something weird, we must log an error message instead.
