Nginx 1.13.1 + HTTP/2 Full HPACK encoding patch verification?

centminmod opened this issue · comments

I patched my Nginx 1.13.1 server with your 1.13.1 version of HTTP/2 full HPACK encoding patch but using h2load tests outlined at https://blog.cloudflare.com/hpack-the-silent-killer-feature-of-http-2/, I am not seeing the header savings expected on subsequent h2load test runs ?

The test page is just a single index.html page so not sure if that matters ?

url=https://domain.com

the headers

without cloudflare HTTP/2 HPACK Full encoding patch strange get higher compression levels/header space savings ?

Did you specify --with-http_v2_hpack_enc in the configure line?

ah that was missing but with --with-http_v2_hpack_enc i get the following error

Success: Nginx configure ok

I also get that error. Removing -O3 did the trick (unfortunately). See also #71 (comment).

I setup my script to detect if hpack patch is used and if set -O2 instead of -O3 but do you mean totally remove -O2 or -O3 ?

I totally removed -O3, just to be sure, I just finished my first successful build some minutes ago. Now I have this up & running I will experiment with -O2 and with adding back the great -flto step by step, to see if I can squeeze some more performance out of it again.

Ok add missing --with-http_v2_hpack_enc configure option and confirmed if i remove -O2 or -O3 during Nginx compile when HPACK patch detected in my script, then yes Nginx 1.13.1 compiles with full HPACK encoding patch ! Thanks @HansVanEijsden

Glad you have it working @centminmod 😃
Adding -O2 gives the error too, so both -O3 and -O2 don't work. But adding back -flto makes a succesful build, fortunately!

nice to know, wasn't sure if -flto is of any benefit in nginx ? i saw regressions for performance but I only test with GCC 4.8.5, 5.3.1 and 6.2.1 on CentOS 7.

To me, -flto saved 2% - 5% CPU time on controlled Wordpress testing. I have great results with it, especially when I also build openssl with it, by using --with-openssl-opt='enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128 -DCFLAGS='-march=native -O3 -flto'' (will be my next step).

BTW, you don't need to use "enable-ec_nistp_64_gcc_128" in openssl anymore.

@vkrasnov thanks that applies to both openssl 1.0.2 and 1.1 branches or just openssl 1.1 ?

@centminmod both. You can compile and then run : 'openssl speed ecdsap256' to check.

@vkrasnov strange, but thanks - it's still in the OpenSSL install instructions: https://github.com/openssl/openssl/blob/master/INSTALL

@HansVanEijsden. Yes, but it does no longer apply for x86-64 and armv8, that have faster assembly code instead.

HAPPY!!

Yup close it

Are you sure there is no other way than disabling compilation optimizations? Tried to compile nginx (using this script) with this patch but unfortunately the compilation fails like discussed here.

@Wonderfall there is. See #71 (comment) - use -Wno-error=strict-aliasing.

@HansVanEijsden That was fast! I'll try that, thanks.

EDIT : It works as expected!

I am naive in nginx and was trying to setup hpack since we are having many headers in our requests/responses (app generates for event capturing). It would be of great help if you can guide me where is the problem or help me to identify the problem.

@fanendra22 Try using gcc 6.2.1 compile it.

Could you please check if I need to include any other module in nginx which is required for hpack to work.

It looks like you are using http/1. Are you sure you have http2 enabled in the config file?

Hi @vkrasnov, I have verified it and it is on http/2.0. This domain is public so even you can check it is
on http/2.0.

@fanendra22, I did, and that is what I'm getting:

It does look like chrome gets http/2, but h2load fails. First time I see something like that.

@vkrasnov Yeah. Now I see. I can also see in logs the protocol being used is http/1.1 while in client chrome/firefox I can see it as http/2.0 for the same request

@vkrasnov Interestingly I found this while checking ALPN status of the server

[root@nprssapp15100 nginx]# echo | openssl s_client -alpn h2 -connect nprelease.indiatimes.com:443 | grep ALPN depth=3 C = SE, O = AddTrust AB, OU = AddTrust External TTP Network, CN = AddTrust External CA Root verify error:num=19:self signed certificate in certificate chain DONE ALPN protocol: h2

It says the certificate chain contains self signed certificate. Could this be a problem while doing SSL handshake and is leading the protocol to be used as http/1.1 instead of http/2.0

I don't think thats the problem. Also it uses openssl, and as you can see openssl works fine.

any new update for nginx 1.18.0?
