Description
Consider the following location configuration:
location = @grpcweb {
rewrite ^ $orig_grpc_uri break;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:82;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_buffering off;
proxy_request_buffering off;
allow all;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $server_name;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
client_body_buffer_size 0;
client_max_body_size 0;
proxy_max_temp_file_size 0;
proxy_read_timeout 18000;
proxy_send_timeout 18000;
gzip off;
}
I figured out that in my case ngx_http_do_read_client_request_body() is called with zero sized buffer (rb->buf->start == rb->buf->end) and as a result it loops endlessly logging "http client request body rest 3" message thousands times a second.
The zero-sized buffer is created earlier in ngx_http_read_client_request_body():
/* TODO: honor r->request_body_in_single_buf */
if (!r->headers_in.chunked && rb->rest < size) {
size = (ssize_t) rb->rest;
if (r->request_body_in_single_buf) {
size += preread;
}
if (size == 0) {
size++;
}
} else {
size = clcf->client_body_buffer_size; // zero-sized buffer created here
}
rb->buf = ngx_create_temp_buf(r->pool, size);
if (rb->buf == NULL) {
rc = NGX_HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR;
goto done;
}
r->read_event_handler = ngx_http_read_client_request_body_handler;
r->write_event_handler = ngx_http_request_empty_handler;
rc = ngx_http_do_read_client_request_body(r);
So as I understand in my case the whole request didn't fit r->headers_in by 3 bytes and as result rb->rest was 3.
When I removed "client_body_buffer_size 0;" from configuration the bug disappeared.
I blindly copied the set of proxied location directives from some page on stackoverflow and didn't realize "client_body_buffer_size 0;" would cause endless loop in a worker process.
