Experimentally verified that it can trigger the issue reverting the fix.
At least on my system... Being the bug time/backlog dependant, it is
very hard to tell if this test will be able to trigger the problem
consistently, however even if it triggers the problem once in a while,
we'll see it in the CI environment at http://ci.redis.io.
And many other related Github issues... all reporting the same problem.
There was probably just not enough backlog in certain unlucky runs.
I'll ask people that can reporduce if they see now this as fixed as
well.
Testing with Solaris C compiler (SunOS 5.11 11.2 sun4v sparc sun4v)
there were issues compiling due to atomicvar.h and running the
tests also failed because of "tail" usage not conform with Solaris
tail implementation. This commit fixes both the issues.
Slow systems like the original Raspberry PI need more time
than 5 seconds to start the script and detect writes.
After fixing the Raspberry PI can pass the unit without issues.
This actually includes two changes:
1) No newlines to take the master-slave link up when the upstream master
is down. Doing this is dangerous because the sub-slave often is received
replication protocol for an half-command, so can't receive newlines
without desyncing the replication link, even with the code in order to
cancel out the bytes that PSYNC2 was using. Moreover this is probably
also not needed/sane, because anyway the slave can keep serving
requests, and because if it's configured to don't serve stale data, it's
a good idea, actually, to break the link.
2) When a +CONTINUE with a different ID is received, we now break
connection with the sub-slaves: they need to be notified as well. This
was part of the original specification but for some reason it was not
implemented in the code, and was alter found as a PSYNC2 bug in the
integration testing.
This is the PSYNC2 test that helped find issues in the code, and that
still can show a protocol desync from time to time. Work is in progress
in order to find the issue. For now the test is not enabled in "make
test" and must be run manually.
spopCommand() now runs spopWithCountCommand() in case the <count> param is found.
Added intsetRandomMembers() to Intset: Copies N random members from the set into inputted 'values' array. Uses either the Knuth or Floyd sample algos depending on ratio count/size.
Added setTypeRandomElements() to SET type: Returns a number of random elements from a non empty set. This is a version of setTypeRandomElement() that is modified in order to return multiple entries, using dictGetRandomKeys() and intsetRandomMembers().
Added tests for SPOP with <count>: unit/type/set, unit/scripting, integration/aof

Cleaned up code a bit to match with required Redis coding style
When aof-load-truncated option was introduced, with a default of "yes",
the past behavior of the server to abort with trunncated AOF changed, so
we need to explicitly configure the tests to abort with truncated AOF
by setting the option to no.
The bug was triggered by running the test with Valgrind (which is a lot
slower and more sensible to timing issues) after the recent changes
that made Redis more promptly able to reply with the -LOADING error.
When the test is executed using the root account, setting the permission
to 222 does not work as expected, as root can read files with 222
permission.
Now we skip the test if root is detected.
This fixes issue #1034 and the duplicated #1040 issue.
Thanks to Jan-Erik Rediger (@badboy on Github) for finding a way to reproduce the issue.
Redis provides support for blocking operations such as BLPOP or BRPOP.
This operations are identical to normal LPOP and RPOP operations as long
as there are elements in the target list, but if the list is empty they
block waiting for new data to arrive to the list.
All the clients blocked waiting for th same list are served in a FIFO
way, so the first that blocked is the first to be served when there is
more data pushed by another client into the list.
The previous implementation of blocking operations was conceived to
serve clients in the context of push operations. For for instance:
1) There is a client "A" blocked on list "foo".
2) The client "B" performs `LPUSH foo somevalue`.
3) The client "A" is served in the context of the "B" LPUSH,
synchronously.
Processing things in a synchronous way was useful as if "A" pushes a
value that is served by "B", from the point of view of the database is a
NOP (no operation) thing, that is, nothing is replicated, nothing is
written in the AOF file, and so forth.
However later we implemented two things:
1) Variadic LPUSH that could add multiple values to a list in the
context of a single call.
2) BRPOPLPUSH that was a version of BRPOP that also provided a "PUSH"
side effect when receiving data.
This forced us to make the synchronous implementation more complex. If
client "B" is waiting for data, and "A" pushes three elemnents in a
single call, we needed to propagate an LPUSH with a missing argument
in the AOF and replication link. We also needed to make sure to
replicate the LPUSH side of BRPOPLPUSH, but only if in turn did not
happened to serve another blocking client into another list ;)
This were complex but with a few of mutually recursive functions
everything worked as expected... until one day we introduced scripting
in Redis.
Scripting + synchronous blocking operations = Issue #614.
Basically you can't "rewrite" a script to have just a partial effect on
the replicas and AOF file if the script happened to serve a few blocked
clients.
The solution to all this problems, implemented by this commit, is to
change the way we serve blocked clients. Instead of serving the blocked
clients synchronously, in the context of the command performing the PUSH
operation, it is now an asynchronous and iterative process:
1) If a key that has clients blocked waiting for data is the subject of
a list push operation, We simply mark keys as "ready" and put it into a
queue.
2) Every command pushing stuff on lists, as a variadic LPUSH, a script,
or whatever it is, is replicated verbatim without any rewriting.
3) Every time a Redis command, a MULTI/EXEC block, or a script,
completed its execution, we run the list of keys ready to serve blocked
clients (as more data arrived), and process this list serving the
blocked clients.
4) As a result of "3" maybe more keys are ready again for other clients
(as a result of BRPOPLPUSH we may have push operations), so we iterate
back to step "3" if it's needed.
The new code has a much simpler semantics, and a simpler to understand
implementation, with the disadvantage of not being able to "optmize out"
a PUSH+BPOP as a No OP.
This commit will be tested with care before the final merge, more tests
will be added likely.
Now it uses the new wait_for_condition testing primitive.
Also wait_for_condition implementation was fixed in this commit to properly
escape the expr command and its argument.
Apparently because the sample RDB file was not copied before every test
Redis had a chance to replace it with a newly written one, so that the
next test could fail.
