fixes test issue introduced in #9167
1. invalid reads due to accessing non-retained string (passed as unblock context).
2. leaking module blocked client context, see #6922 for info.
Modules that use background threads with thread safe contexts are likely
to use RM_BlockClient() without a timeout function, because they do not
set up a timeout.
Before this commit, `CLIENT UNBLOCK` would result with a crash as the
`NULL` timeout callback is called. Beyond just crashing, this is also
logically wrong as it may throw the module into an unexpected client
state.
This commits makes `CLIENT UNBLOCK` on such clients behave the same as
any other client that is not in a blocked state and therefore cannot be
unblocked.
- Introduce a new sdssubstr api as a building block for sdsrange.
The API of sdsrange is many times hard to work with and also has
corner case that cause bugs. sdsrange is easy to work with and also
simplifies the implementation of sdsrange.
- Revert the fix to RM_StringTruncate and just use sdssubstr instead of
sdsrange.
- Solve valgrind warnings from the new tests introduced by the previous
PR.
Previously, passing 0 for newlen would not truncate the string at all.
This adds handling of this case, freeing the old string and creating a new empty string.
Other changes:
- Move `src/modules/testmodule.c` to `tests/modules/basics.c`
- Introduce that basic test into the test suite
- Add tests to cover StringTruncate
- Add `test-modules` build target for the main makefile
- Extend `distclean` build target to clean modules too
Create new module type enhanced callbacks: mem_usage2, free_effort2, unlink2, copy2.
These will be given a context point from which the module can obtain the key name and database id.
In addition the digest and defrag context can now be used to obtain the key name and database id.
This PR adds a spell checker CI action that will fail future PRs if they introduce typos and spelling mistakes.
This spell checker is based on blacklist of common spelling mistakes, so it will not catch everything,
but at least it is also unlikely to cause false positives.
Besides that, the PR also fixes many spelling mistakes and types, not all are a result of the spell checker we use.
Here's a summary of other changes:
1. Scanned the entire source code and fixes all sorts of typos and spelling mistakes (including missing or extra spaces).
2. Outdated function / variable / argument names in comments
3. Fix outdated keyspace masks error log when we check `config.notify-keyspace-events` in loadServerConfigFromString.
4. Trim the white space at the end of line in `module.c`. Check: https://github.com/redis/redis/pull/7751
5. Some outdated https link URLs.
6. Fix some outdated comment. Such as:
- In README: about the rdb, we used to said create a `thread`, change to `process`
- dbRandomKey function coment (about the dictGetRandomKey, change to dictGetFairRandomKey)
- notifyKeyspaceEvent fucntion comment (add type arg)
- Some others minor fix in comment (Most of them are incorrectly quoted by variable names)
7. Modified the error log so that users can easily distinguish between TCP and TLS in `changeBindAddr`
Adding a new type mask for key space notification, REDISMODULE_NOTIFY_MODULE, to enable unique notifications from commands on REDISMODULE_KEYTYPE_MODULE type keys (which is currently unsupported).
Modules can subscribe to a module key keyspace notification by RM_SubscribeToKeyspaceEvents,
and clients by notify-keyspace-events of redis.conf or via the CONFIG SET, with the characters 'd' or 'A'
(REDISMODULE_NOTIFY_MODULE type mask is part of the '**A**ll' notation for key space notifications).
Refactor: move some pubsub test infra from pubsub.tcl to util.tcl to be re-used by other tests.
Before this commit using RM_Call without "!" could cause the master
to lazy-expire a key (delete it) but without replicating to replicas.
This could cause the replica's memory usage to gradually grow and
could also cause consistency issues if the master and replica have
a clock diff.
This bug was introduced in #8617
Added a test which demonstrates that scenario.
With this fix, module data type registration will fail if the load or save callbacks are not defined, or the optional aux load and save callbacks are not either both defined or both missing.
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
The added flag affects the return value of RM_HashSet() to include
the number of inserted fields, in addition to updated and deleted
fields.
errno is set on errors, tests are added and documentation updated.
- removes time sensitive checks from block on background tests during leak checks.
- fix uninitialized variable on RedisModuleBlockedClient() when calling
RM_BlockedClientMeasureTimeEnd() without RM_BlockedClientMeasureTimeStart()
Without this fix, RM_ZsetRem can leave empty sorted sets which are
not allowed to exist.
Removing from a sorted set while iterating seems to work (while
inserting causes failed assetions). RM_ZsetRangeEndReached is
modified to return 1 if the key doesn't exist, to terminate
iteration when the last element has been removed.
* Add bash temporarily to allow sentinel fd leaks test to run.
* Use vmactions-freebsd rdist sync to work around bind permission denied
and slow execution issues.
* Upgrade to tcl8.6 to be aligned with latest Ubuntu envs.
* Concat all command executions to avoid ignoring failures.
* Skip intensive fuzzer on FreeBSD. For some yet unknown reason, generate_fuzzy_traffic_on_key causes TCL to significantly bloat on FreeBSD resulting with out of memory.
This commit enables tracking time of the background tasks and on replies,
opening the door for properly tracking commands that rely on blocking / background
work via the slowlog, latency history, and commandstats.
Some notes:
- The time spent blocked waiting for key changes, or blocked on synchronous
replication is not accounted for.
- **This commit does not affect latency tracking of commands that are non-blocking
or do not have background work.** ( meaning that it all stays the same with exception to
`BZPOPMIN`,`BZPOPMAX`,`BRPOP`,`BLPOP`, etc... and module's commands that rely
on background threads ).
- Specifically for latency history command we've added a new event class named
`command-unblocking` that will enable latency monitoring on commands that spawn
background threads to do the work.
- For blocking commands we're now considering the total time of a command as the
time spent on call() + the time spent on replying when unblocked.
- For Modules commands that rely on background threads we're now considering the
total time of a command as the time spent on call (main thread) + the time spent on
the background thread ( if marked within `RedisModule_MeasureTimeStart()` and
`RedisModule_MeasureTimeEnd()` ) + the time spent on replying (main thread)
To test for this feature we've added a `unit/moduleapi/blockonbackground` test that relies on
a module that blocks the client and sleeps on the background for a given time.
- check blocked command that uses RedisModule_MeasureTimeStart() is tracking background time
- check blocked command that uses RedisModule_MeasureTimeStart() is tracking background time even in timeout
- check blocked command with multiple calls RedisModule_MeasureTimeStart() is tracking the total background time
- check blocked command without calling RedisModule_MeasureTimeStart() is not reporting background time
APIs added for these stream operations: add, delete, iterate and
trim (by ID or maxlength). The functions are prefixed by RM_Stream.
* RM_StreamAdd
* RM_StreamDelete
* RM_StreamIteratorStart
* RM_StreamIteratorStop
* RM_StreamIteratorNextID
* RM_StreamIteratorNextField
* RM_StreamIteratorDelete
* RM_StreamTrimByLength
* RM_StreamTrimByID
The type RedisModuleStreamID is added and functions for converting
from and to RedisModuleString.
* RM_CreateStringFromStreamID
* RM_StringToStreamID
Whenever the stream functions return REDISMODULE_ERR, errno is set to
provide additional error information.
Refactoring: The zset iterator fields in the RedisModuleKey struct
are wrapped in a union, to allow the same space to be used for type-
specific info for streams and allow future use for other key types.
1. Valgrind leak in a recent change in a module api test
2. Increase treshold of a RESTORE TTL test
3. Change assertions to use assert_range which prints the values
BLPOP and other blocking list commands can only block on empty keys
and LPUSH only wakes up clients when the list is created.
Using the module API, it's possible to block on a non-empty key.
Unblocking a client blocked on a non-empty list (or zset) can only
be done using RedisModule_SignalKeyAsReady(). This commit tests it.
the test was misleading because the module would actually woke up on a wrong type and
re-blocked, while the test name suggests the module doesn't not wake up at all on a wrong type..
i changed the name of the test + added verification that indeed the module wakes up and gets
re-blocked after it understand it's the wrong type
This was a regression from #7625 (only in 6.2 RC2).
This makes it possible again to implement blocking list and zset
commands using the modules API.
This commit also includes a test case for the reverse: A module
unblocks a client blocked on BLPOP by inserting elements using
RedisModule_ListPush(). This already works, but it was untested.
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.
* Allow runtest-moduleapi use a different 'make', for systems where GNU Make is 'gmake'.
* Fix issue with builds on Solaris re-building everything from scratch due to CFLAGS/LDFLAGS not stored.
* Fix compile failure on Solaris due to atomicvar and a bunch of warnings.
* Fix garbled log timestamps on Solaris.
When a replica uses the diskless-load swapdb approach, it backs up the old database,
then attempts to load a new one, and in case of failure, it restores the backup.
this means that modules with global out of keyspace data, must have an option to
subscribe to events and backup/restore/discard their global data too.
Add a new set of defrag functions that take a defrag context and allow
defragmenting memory blocks and RedisModuleStrings.
Modules can register a defrag callback which will be invoked when the
defrag process handles globals.
Modules with custom data types can also register a datatype-specific
defrag callback which is invoked for keys that require defragmentation.
The callback and associated functions support both one-step and
multi-step options, depending on the complexity of the key as exposed by
the free_effort callback.
This adds a copy callback for module data types, in order to make
modules compatible with the new COPY command.
The callback is optional and COPY will fail for keys with data types
that do not implement it.
Module blocked clients cache the response in a temporary client,
the reply list in this client would be affected by the recent fix
in #7202, but when the reply is later copied into the real client,
it would have bypassed all the checks for output buffer limit, which
would have resulted in both: responding with a partial response to
the client, and also not disconnecting it at all.
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.
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.

Add two optional callbacks to the RedisModuleTypeMethods structure, which is `free_effort`
and `unlink`. the `free_effort` callback indicates the effort required to free a module memory.
Currently, if the effort exceeds LAZYFREE_THRESHOLD, the module memory may be released
asynchronously. the `unlink` callback indicates the key has been removed from the DB by redis, and
may soon be freed by a background thread.
Add `lazyfreed_objects` info field, which represents the number of objects that have been
lazyfreed since redis was started.
Add `RM_GetTypeMethodVersion` API, which return the current redis-server runtime value of
`REDISMODULE_TYPE_METHOD_VERSION`. You can use that when calling `RM_CreateDataType` to know
which fields of RedisModuleTypeMethods are gonna be supported and which will be ignored.
This cleans up and simplifies the API by passing the command name as the
first argument. Previously the command name was specified explicitly,
but was still included in the argv.
* Introduce a new API's: RM_GetContextFlagsAll, and
RM_GetKeyspaceNotificationFlagsAll that will return the
full flags mask of each feature. The module writer can
check base on this value if the Flags he needs are
supported or not.
* For each flag, introduce a new value on redismodule.h,
this value represents the LAST value and should be there
as a reminder to update it when a new value is added,
also it will be used in the code to calculate the full
flags mask (assuming flags are incrementally increasing).
In addition, stated that the module writer should not use
the LAST flag directly and he should use the GetFlagAll API's.
* Introduce a new API: RM_IsSubEventSupported, that returns for a given
event and subevent, whether or not the subevent supported.
* Introduce a new macro RMAPI_FUNC_SUPPORTED(func) that returns whether
or not a function API is supported by comparing it to NULL.
* Introduce a new API: int RM_GetServerVersion();, that will return the
current Redis version in the format 0x00MMmmpp; e.g. 0x00060008;
* Changed unstable version from 999.999.999 to 255.255.255

The main motivation here is to provide a way for modules to create a
single, global context that can be used for logging.
Currently, it is possible to obtain a thread-safe context that is not
attached to any blocked client by using `RM_GetThreadSafeContext`.
However, the attached context is not linked to the module identity so
log messages produced are not tagged with the module name.
Ideally we'd fix this in `RM_GetThreadSafeContext` itself but as it
doesn't accept the current context as an argument there's no way to do
that in a backwards compatible manner.
This is essentially the same as calling COMMAND GETKEYS but provides a
more efficient interface that can be used in every context (i.e. not a
Redis command).
