Currently, when the number of databases exceeds 16,
the efficiency of cleaning expired keys is relatively low.
The reason is that by default only 16 databases are scanned when
attempting to clean expired keys (CRON_DBS_PER_CALL is 16). But users
may set databases higher than 16, such as 256, but it does not
necessarily mean that all 256 databases have expiration time set. If
only one database has expiration time set, this database needs 16
activeExpireCycle rounds in order to be scanned once, and 15 of those
rounds are meaningless.
To optimize the efficiency of expiration in such scenarios, we use dbs_per_call
to control the number of databases with expired keys being scanned.
Additionally, add a condition to limit the maximum number of rounds
to server.dbnum to prevent excessive spinning. This ensures that even if
only one database has expired keys, it can be triggered within a single cron job.
Fix `signalModifiedKey()` order, call it after key modification
completed, to ensure the state of key eventual consistency.
When a key is modified, Redis calls `signalModifiedKey` to notify other
systems, such as the watch system of transactions and the tracking
system of client side caching. However, in some commands, the
`signalModifiedKey` call happens during the key modification process
instead of after the key modification is completed. This can potentially
cause issues, as systems relying on `signalModifiedKey` may receive the
"write in flight" status of the key rather than its final state.
These commands include:
1. PFADD
2. LSET, LMOVE, LREM
3. ZPOPMIN, ZPOPMAX, BZPOPMIN, BZPOPMAX, ZMPOP, BZMPOP
Currently there is no problem with Redis, but it is better to adjust the
order of `signalModifiedKey()`, to avoid issues in future development on
Redis.

merged

This PR replaces signals that are not considered async-signal-safe
(AS-safe) with safe calls.
#### **1. serverLog() and serverLogFromHandler()**
`serverLog` uses unsafe calls. It was decided that we will **avoid**
`serverLog` calls by the signal handlers when:
* The signal is not fatal, such as SIGALRM. In these cases, we prefer
using `serverLogFromHandler` which is the safe version of `serverLog`.
Note they have different prompts:
`serverLog`: `62220:M 26 Oct 2023 14:39:04.526 # <msg>`
`serverLogFromHandler`: `62220:signal-handler (1698331136) <msg>`
* The code was added recently. Calls to `serverLog` by the signal
handler have been there ever since Redis exists and it hasn't caused
problems so far. To avoid regression, from now we should use
`serverLogFromHandler`
#### **2. `snprintf` `fgets` and `strtoul`(base = 16) -------->
`_safe_snprintf`, `fgets_async_signal_safe`, `string_to_hex`**
The safe version of `snprintf` was taken from
[here](8cfc4ca5e7/src/mc_util.c (L754))
#### **3. fopen(), fgets(), fclose() --------> open(), read(), close()**
#### **4. opendir(), readdir(), closedir() --------> open(),
syscall(SYS_getdents64), close()**
#### **5. Threads_mngr sync mechanisms**
* waiting for the thread to generate stack trace: semaphore -------->
busy-wait
* `globals_rw_lock` was removed: as we are not using malloc and the
semaphore anymore we don't need to protect `ThreadsManager_cleanups`.
#### **6. Stacktraces buffer**
The initial problem was that we were not able to safely call malloc
within the signal handler.
To solve that we created a buffer on the stack of `writeStacktraces` and
saved it in a global pointer, assuming that under normal circumstances,
the function `writeStacktraces` would complete before any thread
attempted to write to it. However, **if threads lag behind, they might
access this global pointer after it no longer belongs to the
`writeStacktraces` stack, potentially corrupting memory.**
To address this, various solutions were discussed
[here](https://github.com/redis/redis/pull/12658#discussion_r1390442896)
Eventually, we decided to **create a pipe** at server startup that will
remain valid as long as the process is alive.
We chose this solution due to its minimal memory usage, and since
`write()` and `read()` are atomic operations. It ensures that stack
traces from different threads won't mix.
**The stacktraces collection process is now as follows:**
* Cleaning the pipe to eliminate writes of late threads from previous
runs.
* Each thread writes to the pipe its stacktrace
* Waiting for all the threads to mark completion or until a timeout (2
sec) is reached
* Reading from the pipe to print the stacktraces.
#### **7. Changes that were considered and eventually were dropped**
* replace watchdog timer with a POSIX timer:
according to [settimer man](https://linux.die.net/man/2/setitimer)
> POSIX.1-2008 marks getitimer() and setitimer() obsolete, recommending
the use of the POSIX timers API
([timer_gettime](https://linux.die.net/man/2/timer_gettime)(2),
[timer_settime](https://linux.die.net/man/2/timer_settime)(2), etc.)
instead.
However, although it is supposed to conform to POSIX std, POSIX timers
API is not supported on Mac.
You can take a look here at the Linux implementation:
[here](c7562ee135)
To avoid messing up the code, and uncertainty regarding compatibility,
it was decided to drop it for now.
* avoid using sds (uses malloc) in logConfigDebugInfo
It was considered to print config info instead of using sds, however
apparently, `logConfigDebugInfo` does more than just print the sds, so
it was decided this fix is out of this issue scope.
#### **8. fix Signal mask check**
The check `signum & sig_mask` intended to indicate whether the signal is
blocked by the thread was incorrect. Actually, the bit position in the
signal mask corresponds to the signal number. We fixed this by changing
the condition to: `sig_mask & (1L << (sig_num - 1))`
#### **9. Unrelated changes**
both `fork.tcl `and `util.tcl` implemented a function called
`count_log_message` expecting different parameters. This caused
confusion when trying to run daily tests with additional test parameters
to run a specific test.
The `count_log_message` in `fork.tcl` was removed and the calls were
replaced with calls to `count_log_message` located in `util.tcl`

`open()` can return any non-negative integer on success, including zero.
This change modifies the check from open()'s return value to also
include checking for a return value of zero (e.g., if stdin were closed
and then `open()` was called).
Fixes Coverity 404720
Can't happen in Redis. just a cleanup.
If fopen() is successful, but redis_fstat() determines the file is zero
bytes, the file handle stored in fp will leak. This change closes the
filehandle stored in fp if the file is zero bytes.
An FD leak on a tool like redis-check-aof isn't an issue (it'll exit soon anyway).
This is just a cleanup.
If fopen() is successful, but redis_fstat() fails, the file handle
stored in fp will leak. This change closes the filehandle stored in fp
if redis_fstat() fails.

If a recursive call to dirRemove() returns -1, dirRemove() the directory

dictExpandAllowed (for the main db dict and the expire dict) seems to
involve a few function calls and memory accesses, and we can do it only
after the thresholds checks and can get some performance improvements.
A simple benchmark test: there are 11032768 fixed keys in the database,
start a redis-server with `--maxmemory big_number --save ""`,
start a redis-benchmark with `-P 100 -r 1000000000 -t set -n 5000000`,
collect `throughput summary: n requests per second` result.
After five rounds of testing:

This PR reworks the clustering code to support multiple clustering
implementations, specifically, the current "legacy" clustering
implementation or, although not part of this PR, flotilla (see #10875).
Which implementation is used could be a compile-time flag (will be added
later). Legacy clustering functionality remains unchanged.
The basic idea is as follows. The header cluster.h now contains function
declarations that define the "Cluster API." These are the contract and
interface between any clustering implementation and the rest of the
Redis source code. Some of the function definitions are shared between
all clustering implementations. These functions are in cluster.c. The
functions and data structures specific to legacy clustering are in
cluster-legacy.c/h. One consequence of this is that the structs
clusterNode and clusterState which were previously "public" to the rest
of Redis are now hidden behind the Cluster API.
The PR is divided up into commits, each with a commit message explaining
the changes. some are just mass rename or moving code between files (may
not require close inspection / review), others are manual changes.
One other, related change is:
- The "failover" command is now plugged into the Cluster API so that the
clustering implementation can (a) enable/disable the command to begin
with and if enabled (b) perform the actual failover. The "failover"
command remains disabled for legacy clustering.
The failover command is up until now not supported
in cluster mode. This commit allows a cluster
implementation to support the command. The legacy
clustering implementation still does not support
this command.

Make redis-cli --bigkeys and --memkeys usable on a replicas in cluster
mode, by sending the READONLY command. This is only if -c is also given.
We don't detect if a node is a master or a replica so we send READONLY
in both cases. The READONLY has no effect on masters.
Release notes:
Make redis-cli --bigkeys and --memkeys usable on cluster replicas

Add documentation of the URI format in the `--help` output of
`redis-cli` and `redis-benchmark`.
In particular, it's good for users to know that they need to specify
"default" as the username when authenticating without a username. Other
details of the URI format are described too, like scheme and dbnum.
It used to be possible to connect to Redis using an URL with an empty
username, like `redis-cli -u redis://:PASSWORD@localhost:6379/0`. This
was broken in 6.2 (#8048), and there was a discussion about it #9186.
Now, users need to specify "default" as the username and it's better to
document it.
Refer to #12746 for more details.
We have some test cases of swapdb with watchkey but missing seperate
basic swapdb test cases, unhappy path and flushdb after swapdb. So added
the test cases in keyspace.tcl.
CI reports that this test failed, the reason is because during
the command processing, the node processed PING/PONG, resulting
in ping_sent or pong_received mismatch.
Change to use MULTI to avoid timing issue. The test was introduced
in #12224.
This is currently harmless, since we have already cleared the dict
before, it will reset the rehashidx to -1, and in incrementallyRehash
we will call dictIsRehashing to check.
It would be nice to empty the list to avoid meaningless attempts, and
the code is also unified to reduce misunderstandings.
When using DB iterator, it will use dictInitSafeIterator to init a old safe
dict iterator. When dbIteratorNext is used, it will jump to the next slot db
dict when we are done a dict. During this process, we do not have any calls to
dictResumeRehashing, which causes the dict's pauserehash to always be > 0.
And at last, it will be returned directly in dictRehashMilliseconds, which causes
us to have slot dict in a state where rehash cannot be completed.
In the "expire scan should skip dictionaries with lot's of empty buckets" test,
adding a `keys *` can reproduce the problem stably. `keys *` will call dbIteratorNext
to trigger a traversal of all slot dicts.
Added dbReleaseIterator and dbIteratorInitNextSafeIterator methods to call dictResetIterator.
Issue was introduced in #11695.
This PR introduces a new macro, serverAssertWithInfoDebug, to do complex assertions only for debugging. The main intention is to allow running complex operations during tests without impacting runtime performance. This assertion is enabled when setting DEBUG_ASSERTIONS.
The DEBUG_ASSERTIONS flag is set for the daily and CI variants of `test-sanitizer-address`.
Test recently added fails on timeout in valgrind in GH actions.
Locally with valgrind the test finishes within 1.5 sec(s). Couldn't find
any issue due to lack of reproducibility. Increasing the timeout and
adding an additional log to the test to understand how many keys
were left at the end.
Redis 7.2 (#9406) introduced a new modules event, `RedisModuleEvent_Key`.
This new event allows the module to read the key data just before it is removed
from the database (either deleted, expired, evicted, or overwritten).
When the key is removed from the database, either by active expire or eviction.
The new event was not called as part of an execution unit. This can cause an
issue if the module registers a post notification job inside the event. This job will
not be executed atomically with the expiration/eviction operation and will not
replicated inside a Multi/Exec. Moreover, the post notification job will be executed
right after the event where it is still not safe to perform any write operation, this will
violate the promise that post notification job will be called atomically with the
operation that triggered it and **only when it is safe to write**.
This PR fixes the issue by wrapping each expiration/eviction of a key with an execution
unit. This makes sure the entire operation will run atomically and all the post notification
jobs will be executed at the end where it is safe to write.
Tests were modified to verify the fix.
This change overcomes many stability issues experienced with the
vmactions action.
We need to limit VMs to 8GB for better stability, as the 13GB default
seems to hang them occasionally.
Shell code has been simplified since this action seem to use `bash -e`
which will abort on non-zero exit codes anyway.
changes the `gettimeofday` caller, by removing an unused optional output argument.
It would take 2 benefits:
- simplify code, discard unnecessary arg.
- possibly faster due to the implementation in kernel.
Clarify the errors related to the cluster mode in the script, return the command that encountered an execution error along with the specific error message.

Currently, we do not write the following sensitive commands into the ~/.rediscli_history file:
ACL SETUSER username [rule [rule ...]]
AUTH [username] password
HELLO [AUTH username password]
MIGRATE host port <key | ""> destination-db timeout [[AUTH password | AUTH2 username password]]
CONFIG SET masterauth master-password
CONFIG SET masteruser username
CONFIG SET requirepass foobared
However, we still write the following sensitive commands into the ~/.rediscli_history file:
ACL GETUSER username
Sentinel CONFIG set sentinel-pass password
Sentinel CONFIG set sentinel-user username
Sentinel set mastername auth-pass password
Sentinel set mastername auth-user username
This change adds the commands of the second list to be skipped from being written to the history file.
Reverts the skipping defrag tests in cluster mode (done in #12672.
instead it skips only some defrag tests that are relevant for cluster modes.
The test now run well after investigating and making the changes in #12674 and #12694.
