Hello,
From the recent discussion about loaded backup server
it looks like we do not properly assign forwarding method
to connections in backup server. If backup is used in master
as real server, eg. DR, then backup should use LOCALNODE
for its IP. May be ip_vs_find_dest should allow real server
with port 0 to be used as default server? And if real server
is found its forwarding method should be used for the
connection? So, backup should have the same IP and Port but
it can choose to use different forwarding method? For example,
master uses DR but backup TUN for the same real server.
Because now when server is added its method can
be converted to LOCALNODE but when such connections
are created in backup server we should use DR or NAT
or whatever the method is configured there. The same is
when backup is added as DR server in master but the
connections should be LOCALNODE when created in backup.
If we still allow DR/NAT/TUN connections in backup
to work without real server then all such xmitters should
check RTCF_LOCAL and assume LOCALNODE if needed. This is
needed for the case when we do not know the fwmark used
by connection and we can not find the virtual service.
Then __ip_vs_update_dest should not replace the
configured forwarding method with IP_VS_CONN_F_LOCALNODE
to allow backup to see this method in fwmark connections.
If needed, we can remember that it is local in some
new dest flag, eg. IP_VS_DEST_F_LOCAL. But better to
show it as it was configured?
So, how to fix these problems? May be:
- ip_vs_find_dest to find svc and dest in more complex way
- if backup has dest it should assign its forwarding method
to the connection (ip_vs_bind_dest)
- allow some transmitters to deliver traffic locally to support
fwmark setups, eg. when no dest is assigned to connection
There is also an option to create 2nd version
of struct ip_vs_sync_conn. For example, size in
struct ip_vs_sync_mesg can be moved after new field
version which will be in place of size. Old backups will
think the small version number as some short size and will
ignore the message. New backup servers can support both
formats. The new format can add new fields for fwmark,
IPv6 addresses, 1 byte af (AF_INET/AF_INET6), 1 byte len
for easy skipping of messages if af or protocol are not
supported.
Simon, may be now ip_vs_nat_xmit should see
RTCF_LOCAL flag and we should check all NAT handlers
to support the LOCALNODE fallback where the port can
be changed too.
