When "peers" keyword is followed by more than one argument and it's the first
"peers" section in the config, cfg_parse_peers() detects it and exits with
"ERR_ALERT|ERR_FATAL" err_code.
So, upper layer parser, parse_cfg(), continues and parses the next keyword
"peer" and then he tries to check the global cfg_peers, which should contain
"my_cluster". The global cfg_peers is still NULL, because after alerting a user
in alertif_too_many_args, cfg_parse_peers() exited.
peers my_cluster __some_wrong_data__
peer haproxy1 1.1.1.1 1000
In order to fix this, let's add ERR_ABORT, if "peers" keyword is followed by
more than one argument. Like this parse_cfg() will stops immediately and
terminates haproxy with "too many args for peers my_cluster..." alert message.
It's more reliable, than add checks "if (cfg_peers !=NULL)" in "peer"
subparser, as we may have many "peers" sections.
peers my_another_cluster
peer haproxy1 1.1.1.2 1000
peers my_cluster __some_wrong_data__
peer haproxy1 1.1.1.1 1000
In addition, for the example above, parse_cfg() will parse all configuration
until the end and only then terminates haproxy with the alert
"too many args...". Peer haproxy1 will be wrongly associated with
my_another_cluster.
This fixes the issue #2872.
This should be backported in all stable versions.
