Bug 1:
When a module ctx is freed moduleHandlePropagationAfterCommandCallback
is called and handles propagation. We want to prevent it from propagating
commands that were not replicated by the same context. Example:
1. module1.foo does: RM_Replicate(cmd1); RM_Call(cmd2); RM_Replicate(cmd3)
2. RM_Replicate(cmd1) propagates MULTI and adds cmd1 to also_propagagte
3. RM_Call(cmd2) create a new ctx, calls call() and destroys the ctx.
4. moduleHandlePropagationAfterCommandCallback is called, calling
alsoPropagates EXEC (Note: EXEC is still not written to socket),
setting server.in_trnsaction = 0
5. RM_Replicate(cmd3) is called, propagagting yet another MULTI (now
we have nested MULTI calls, which is no good) and then cmd3
We must prevent RM_Call(cmd2) from resetting server.in_transaction.
REDISMODULE_CTX_MULTI_EMITTED was revived for that purpose.
Bug 2:
Fix issues with nested RM_Call where some have '!' and some don't.
Example:
1. module1.foo does RM_Call of module2.bar without replication (i.e. no '!')
2. module2.bar internally calls RM_Call of INCR with '!'
3. at the end of module1.foo we call RM_ReplicateVerbatim
We want the replica/AOF to see only module1.foo and not the INCR from module2.bar
Introduced a global replication_allowed flag inside RM_Call to determine
whether we need to replicate or not (even if '!' was specified)
Other changes:
Split beforePropagateMultiOrExec to beforePropagateMulti afterPropagateExec
just for better readability
This PR not only fixes the problem that swapdb does not make the
transaction fail, but also optimizes the FLUSHALL and FLUSHDB command to
set the CLIENT_DIRTY_CAS flag to avoid unnecessary traversal of clients.
FLUSHDB was changed to first iterate on all watched keys, and then on the
clients watching each key.
Instead of iterating though all clients, and for each iterate on watched keys.

In the distant history there was only the read flag for commands, and whatever
command that didn't have the read flag was a write one.
Then we added the write flag, but some portions of the code still used !read
Also some commands that don't work on the keyspace at all, still have the read
flag.
Changes in this commit:
1. remove the read-only flag from TIME, ECHO, ROLE and LASTSAVE
2. EXEC command used to decides if it should propagate a MULTI by looking at
the command flags (!read & !admin).
When i was about to change it to look at the write flag instead, i realized
that this would cause it not to propagate a MULTI for PUBLISH, EVAL, and
SCRIPT, all 3 are not marked as either a read command or a write one (as
they should), but all 3 are calling forceCommandPropagation.
So instead of introducing a new flag to denote a command that "writes" but
not into the keyspace, and still needs propagation, i decided to rely on
the forceCommandPropagation, and just fix the code to propagate MULTI when
needed rather than depending on the command flags at all.
The implication of my change then is that now it won't decide to propagate
MULTI when it sees one of these: SELECT, PING, INFO, COMMAND, TIME and
other commands which are neither read nor write.
3. Changing getNodeByQuery and clusterRedirectBlockedClientIfNeeded in
cluster.c to look at !write rather than read flag.
This should have no implications, since these code paths are only reachable
for commands which access keys, and these are always marked as either read
or write.
This commit improve MULTI propagation tests, for modules and a bunch of
other special cases, all of which used to pass already before that commit.
the only one that test change that uncovered a change of behavior is the
one that DELs a non-existing key, it used to propagate an empty
multi-exec block, and no longer does.
One way this was happening is when a module issued an RM_Call which would inject MULTI.
If the module command that does that was itself issued by something else that already did
added MULTI (e.g. another module, or a Lua script), it would have caused nested MULTI.
In fact the MULTI state in the client or the MULTI_EMITTED flag in the context isn't
the right indication that we need to propagate MULTI or not, because on a nested calls
(possibly a module action called by a keyspace event of another module action), these
flags aren't retained / reflected.
instead there's now a global propagate_in_transaction flag for that.
in addition to that, we now have a global in_eval and in_exec flags, to serve the flags
of RM_GetContextFlags, since their dependence on the current client is wrong for the same
reasons mentioned above.
Fixes#7923.
This PR appropriates the special `&` symbol (because `@` and `*` are taken),
followed by a literal value or pattern for describing the Pub/Sub patterns that
an ACL user can interact with. It is similar to the existing key patterns
mechanism in function (additive) and implementation (copy-pasta). It also adds
the allchannels and resetchannels ACL keywords, naturally.
The default user is given allchannels permissions, whereas new users get
whatever is defined by the acl-pubsub-default configuration directive. For
backward compatibility in 6.2, the default of this directive is allchannels but
this is likely to be changed to resetchannels in the next major version for
stronger default security settings.
Unless allchannels is set for the user, channel access permissions are checked
as follows :
* Calls to both PUBLISH and SUBSCRIBE will fail unless a pattern matching the
argumentative channel name(s) exists for the user.
* Calls to PSUBSCRIBE will fail unless the pattern(s) provided as an argument
literally exist(s) in the user's list.
Such failures are logged to the ACL log.
Runtime changes to channel permissions for a user with existing subscribing
clients cause said clients to disconnect unless the new permissions permit the
connections to continue. Note, however, that PSUBSCRIBErs' patterns are matched
literally, so given the change bar:* -> b*, pattern subscribers to bar:* will be
disconnected.
Notes/questions:
* UNSUBSCRIBE, PUNSUBSCRIBE and PUBSUB remain unprotected due to lack of reasons
for touching them.
Blocking command should not be used with MULTI, LUA, and RM_Call. This is because,
the caller, who executes the command in this context, expects a reply.
Today, LUA and MULTI have a special (and different) treatment to blocking commands:
LUA - Most commands are marked with no-script flag which are checked when executing
and command from LUA, commands that are not marked (like XREAD) verify that their
blocking mode is not used inside LUA (by checking the CLIENT_LUA client flag).
MULTI - Command that is going to block, first verify that the client is not inside
multi (by checking the CLIENT_MULTI client flag). If the client is inside multi, they
return a result which is a match to the empty key with no timeout (for example blpop
inside MULTI will act as lpop)
For modules that perform RM_Call with blocking command, the returned results type is
REDISMODULE_REPLY_UNKNOWN and the caller can not really know what happened.
Disadvantages of the current state are:
No unified approach, LUA, MULTI, and RM_Call, each has a different treatment
Module can not safely execute blocking command (and get reply or error).
Though It is true that modules are not like LUA or MULTI and should be smarter not
to execute blocking commands on RM_Call, sometimes you want to execute a command base
on client input (for example if you create a module that provides a new scripting
language like javascript or python).
While modules (on modules command) can check for REDISMODULE_CTX_FLAGS_LUA or
REDISMODULE_CTX_FLAGS_MULTI to know not to block the client, there is no way to
check if the command came from another module using RM_Call. So there is no way
for a module to know not to block another module RM_Call execution.
This commit adds a way to unify the treatment for blocking clients by introducing
a new CLIENT_DENY_BLOCKING client flag. On LUA, MULTI, and RM_Call the new flag
turned on to signify that the client should not be blocked. A blocking command
verifies that the flag is turned off before blocking. If a blocking command sees
that the CLIENT_DENY_BLOCKING flag is on, it's not blocking and return results
which are matches to empty key with no timeout (as MULTI does today).
The new flag is checked on the following commands:
List blocking commands: BLPOP, BRPOP, BRPOPLPUSH, BLMOVE,
Zset blocking commands: BZPOPMIN, BZPOPMAX
Stream blocking commands: XREAD, XREADGROUP
SUBSCRIBE, PSUBSCRIBE, MONITOR
In addition, the new flag is turned on inside the AOF client, we do not want to
block the AOF client to prevent deadlocks and commands ordering issues (and there
is also an existing assert in the code that verifies it).
To keep backward compatibility on LUA, all the no-script flags on existing commands
were kept untouched. In addition, a LUA special treatment on XREAD and XREADGROUP was kept.
To keep backward compatibility on MULTI (which today allows SUBSCRIBE, and PSUBSCRIBE).
We added a special treatment on those commands to allow executing them on MULTI.
The only backward compatibility issue that this PR introduces is that now MONITOR
is not allowed inside MULTI.
Tests were added to verify blocking commands are not blocking the client on LUA, MULTI,
or RM_Call. Tests were added to verify the module can check for CLIENT_DENY_BLOCKING flag.

65a3307bc (released in 6.0.6) has a side effect, when processCommand
rejects a command with pre-made shared object error string, it trims the
newlines from the end of the string. if that string is later used with
addReply, the newline will be missing, breaking the protocol, and
leaving the client hung.
It seems that the only scenario which this happens is when replying with
-LOADING to some command, and later using that reply from the CONFIG
SET command (still during loading). this will result in hung client.
Refactoring the code in order to avoid trimming these newlines from
shared string objects, and do the newline trimming only in other cases
where it's needed.

In order to support the use of multi-exec in pipeline, it is important that
MULTI and EXEC are never rejected and it is easy for the client to know if the
connection is still in multi state.
It was easy to make sure MULTI and DISCARD never fail (done by previous
commits) since these only change the client state and don't do any actual
change in the server, but EXEC is a different story.
Since in the past, it was possible for clients to handle some EXEC errors and
retry the EXEC, we now can't affort to return any error on EXEC other than
EXECABORT, which now carries with it the real reason for the abort too.
Other fixes in this commit:
- Some checks that where performed at the time of queuing need to be re-
validated when EXEC runs, for instance if the transaction contains writes
commands, it needs to be aborted. there was one check that was already done
in execCommand (-READONLY), but other checks where missing: -OOM, -MISCONF,
-NOREPLICAS, -MASTERDOWN
- When a command is rejected by processCommand it was rejected with addReply,
which was not recognized as an error in case the bad command came from the
master. this will enable to count or MONITOR these errors in the future.
- make it easier for tests to create additional (non deferred) clients.
- add tests for the fixes of this commit.
Random command like SPOP with count is replicated as
some SREM operations, and store them in also_propagate
array to propagate after the call, but this would break
atomicity.
To keep the command's atomicity, wrap also_propagate
array with MULTI/EXEC.
Thanks to @soloestoy for discovering this issue in #5667.
This is an alternative fix in order to avoid both cycling the clients
and also disconnecting clients just having valid read-only transactions
pending.
In Redis 4.0 replication, with the introduction of PSYNC2, masters and
slaves replicate commands to cascading slaves and to the replication
backlog itself in a different way compared to the past.
Masters actually replicate the effects of client commands.
Slaves just propagate what they receive from masters.
This mechanism can cause problems when the configuration of an instance
is changed from master to slave inside a transaction. For instance
we could send to a master instance the following sequence:
MULTI
SLAVEOF 127.0.0.1 0
EXEC
SLAVEOF NO ONE
Before the fixes in this commit, the MULTI command used to be propagated
into the replication backlog, however after the SLAVEOF command the
instance is a slave, so the EXEC implementation failed to also propagate
the EXEC command. When the slaves of the above instance reconnected,
they were incrementally synchronized just sending a "MULTI". This put
the master client (in the slaves) into MULTI state, breaking the
replication.
Notably even Redis Sentinel uses the above approach in order to guarantee
that configuration changes are always performed together with rewrites
of the configuration and with clients disconnection. Sentiel does:
MULTI
SLAVEOF ...
CONFIG REWRITE
CLIENT KILL TYPE normal
EXEC
So this was a really problematic issue. However even with the fix in
this commit, that will add the final EXEC to the replication stream in
case the instance was switched from master to slave during the
transaction, the result would be to increment the slave replication
offset, so a successive reconnection with the new master, will not
permit a successful partial resynchronization: no way the new master can
provide us with the backlog needed, we incremented our offset to a value
that the new master cannot have.
However the EXEC implementation waits to emit the MULTI, so that if the
commands inside the transaction actually do not need to be replicated,
no commands propagation happens at all. From multi.c:
if (!must_propagate && !(c->cmd->flags & (CMD_READONLY|CMD_ADMIN))) {
execCommandPropagateMulti(c);
must_propagate = 1;
}
The above code is already modified by this commit you are reading.
Now also ADMIN commands do not trigger the emission of MULTI. It is actually
not clear why we do not just check for CMD_WRITE... Probably I wrote it this
way in order to make the code more reliable: better to over-emit MULTI
than not emitting it in time.
So this commit should indeed fix issue #3836 (verified), however it looks
like some reconsideration of this code path is needed in the long term.
BONUS POINT: The reverse bug.
Even in a read only slave "B", in a replication setup like:
A -> B -> C
There are commands without the READONLY nor the ADMIN flag, that are also
not flagged as WRITE commands. An example is just the PING command.
So if we send B the following sequence:
MULTI
PING
SLAVEOF NO ONE
EXEC
The result will be the reverse bug, where only EXEC is emitted, but not the
previous MULTI. However this apparently does not create problems in practice
but it is yet another acknowledge of the fact some work is needed here
in order to make this code path less surprising.
Note that there are many different approaches we could follow. For instance
MULTI/EXEC blocks containing administrative commands may be allowed ONLY
if all the commands are administrative ones, otherwise they could be
denined. When allowed, the commands could simply never be replicated at all.
MULTI/EXEC is now propagated to the AOF / Slaves only once we encounter
the first command that is not a read-only one inside the transaction.
The old behavior was to always propagate an empty MULTI/EXEC block when
the transaction was composed just of read only commands, or even
completely empty. This created two problems:
1) It's a bandwidth waste in the replication link and a space waste
inside the AOF file.
2) We used to always increment server.dirty to force the propagation of
the EXEC command, resulting into triggering RDB saves more often
than needed.
Note: even read-only commands may also trigger writes that will be
propagated, when we access a key that is found expired and Redis will
synthesize a DEL operation. However there is no need for this to stay
inside the transaction itself, but only to be ordered.
So for instance something like:
MULTI
GET foo
SET key zap
EXEC
May be propagated into:
DEL foo
MULTI
SET key zap
EXEC
While the DEL is outside the transaction, the commands are delivered in
the right order and it is not possible for other commands to be inserted
between DEL and MULTI.
After the transcation starts with a MULIT, the previous behavior was to
return an error on problems such as maxmemory limit reached. But still
to execute the transaction with the subset of queued commands on EXEC.
While it is true that the client was able to check for errors
distinguish QUEUED by an error reply, MULTI/EXEC in most client
implementations uses pipelining for speed, so all the commands and EXEC
are sent without caring about replies.
With this change:
1) EXEC fails if at least one command was not queued because of an
error. The EXECABORT error is used.
2) A generic error is always reported on EXEC.
3) The client DISCARDs the MULTI state after a failed EXEC, otherwise
pipelining multiple transactions would be basically impossible:
After a failed EXEC the next transaction would be simply queued as
the tail of the previous transaction.
Before of this commit it used to be like this:
MULTI
EXEC
... actual commands of the transaction ...
Because after all that is the natural order of things. Transaction
commands are queued and executed *only after* EXEC is called.
However this makes debugging with MONITOR a mess, so the code was
modified to provide a coherent output.
What happens is that MULTI is rendered in the MONITOR output as far as
possible, instead EXEC is propagated only after the transaction is
executed, or even in the case it fails because of WATCH, so in this case
you'll simply see:
MULTI
EXEC
An empty transaction.
This commit introduces support for read only slaves via redis.conf and CONFIG GET/SET commands. Also various semantical fixes are implemented here:
1) MULTI/EXEC with only read commands now work where the server is into a state where writes (or commands increasing memory usage) are not allowed. Before this patch everything inside a transaction would fail in this conditions.
2) Scripts just calling read-only commands will work against read only
slaves, when the server is out of memory, or when persistence is into an
error condition. Before the patch EVAL always failed in this condition.
