Previously we handle idle streams as closed streams. We only keeps
sum of closed streams and active streams under max concurrent streams
limit, idle streams gets deleted earlier than client expects.
In this change, idle streams are kept in separate list and not handled
as closed streams. To mitigate possible attack vector to make
unlimited idle streams, we cap the number of idle streams in a half of
max concurrent streams. This is arbitrary choice. It may be adjusted
in the future when we have interop experience.
nghttp2_mem structure is introduced to hold custom memory allocator
functions and user supplied pointer. nghttp2_mem object can be passed
to nghttp2_session_client_new3(), nghttp2_session_server_new3(),
nghttp2_hd_deflate_new2() and nghttp2_hd_inflate_new2() to replace
standard malloc(), free(), calloc() and realloc(). nghttp2_mem
structure has user supplied pointer mem_user_data which can be used as
per session/object memory pool.
This change will utilize last_stream_id in GOAWAY extensively. When
GOAWAY is received with a last_stream_id, library closes all outgoing
streams whose stream_id > received last_stream_id.
nghttp2_on_stream_callback is called for each stream to be closed.
When GOAWAY is sent with a last_stream_id, library closes all incoming
streams whose stream_id > sent last_stream_id.
nghttp2_on_stream_callback is called for each stream to be closed.
If stream ID is not idle, it might be valid HEADERS. If stream ID is
idle, it is invalid regardless stream ID is even or odd, since client
is not expected to recieve request from server. nghttp2 library
historically allows this, but now we forbids this.
We make following HEADERS under priority control:
* push response HEADERS
* HEADERS submitted by nghttp2_submit_response
Currently, HEADERS submitted by nghttp2_submit_headers is not attached
to stream. This is because it may be used as non-final response
header and application may submit final response using
nghttp2_submit_response without checking non-final response header
transmission.
Allowing PRIORITY frame at anytime so that PRIORITY frame to idle
stream can create anchor node in dependency tree. In this change, we
open stream with new NGHTTP2_STREAM_IDLE state, which is linked in
session->closed_stream_head and is treated as if it is closed stream.
One difference is that if the stream is opened, we remove it from
linked list and change the state to the appropriate one. To O(1)
removal from linked list, we change session->closed_stream_head to
doubly linked list.
This change fixes the bug that stream is out of dependency tree if the
number of nodes in a dependency tree which we add new node to is
already maximum (NGHTTP2_MAX_DEP_TREE_LENGTH) and the number of
maximum concurrent streams is more than more than
NGHTTP2_MAX_DEP_TREE_LENGTH.
* Add NGHTTP2_HTTP_1_1_REQUIRED error code
* Allow transmission of WINDOW_UPDATE on reserved (remote)
* Allow reception of WINDOW_UPDATE on reserved (local)
* Treat frame larger than MAX_FRAME_SIZE as FRAME_SIZE_ERROR
ALPN identifier is still h2-14 to continue interop, since draft-14 and
-15 are binary compatible. The new error code was added in draft-15,
but HTTP/2 allows extensions can freely add new error code, so it is
not a problem.
