Hi, I'm testing 1.8.8(1.8.8-52ec357 snapshot) and seamless reloads (expose-fd listeners).
I'm testing with this config (missing some default timeouts): ----------------------8<---------------- global stats socket /tmp/stats level admin expose-fd listeners defaults mode http log global option httplog retries 2 timeout connect 1500ms timeout client 10s timeout server 10s listen testme bind ipv4@127.0.0.1:8080 server test_abns_server abns@wpproc1 send-proxy-v2 frontend test_abns bind abns@wpproc1 accept-proxy http-request deny deny_status 200 ----------------------8<---------------- Reloads (kill -USR2 $(cat /tmp/haproxy.pid)) are failing: "Starting frontend test_abns: cannot listen to socket []" (And request to 127.0.0.1:8080 timeout). I guess the problem is that on reload, haproxy is trying to bind the abns socket again, because (proto_uxst.c) uxst_bind_listener / uxst_find_compatible_fd doesn't find existing (the one copied over from old process) file descriptor for this abns socket. Is uxst_find_compatible_fd only looking for <sockname>.XXXXX.tmp sockets and ignoring abns sockets where path starts with \0 ? Using unix socket instead of abns socket makes the reload work. -Jarno -- Jarno Huuskonen
