A single client pointer is added in the server struct. This is
initialized by the first RM_Call() and reused for every subsequent
RM_Call() except if it's already in use, which means that it's not
used for (recursive) module calls to modules. For these, a new
"fake" client is created each time.
Other changes:
* Avoid allocating a dict iterator in pubsubUnsubscribeAllChannels
when not needed
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()
The test failed from time to time on Github actions.
We think it's possible that on the module's blocking timeout
time tracking test, the timeout is happening prior we issue the
RedisModule_BlockedClientMeasureTimeStart(bc) on the
background thread. If that is the case one possible solution
is to increase the timeout.
Increasing to 200ms to 500ms to see if nightly stops failing.
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.
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.
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.
Additionally the older defrag tests are using an obsolete way to check
if the defragger is suuported (the error no longer contains "DISABLED").
this doesn't usually makes a difference since these tests are completely
skipped if the allocator is not jemalloc, but that would fail if the
allocator is a jemalloc that doesn't support defrag.
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.
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.

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.
* 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).
Added RedisModule_HoldString that either returns a
shallow copy of the given String (by increasing
the String ref count) or a new deep copy of String
in case its not possible to get a shallow copy.

Diskless master has some inherent latencies.
1) fork starts with delay from cron rather than immediately
2) replica is put online only after an ACK. but the ACK
was sent only once a second.
3) but even if it would arrive immediately, it will not
register in case cron didn't yet detect that the fork is done.
Besides that, when a replica disconnects, it doesn't immediately
attempts to re-connect, it waits for replication cron (one per second).
in case it was already online, it may be important to try to re-connect
as soon as possible, so that the backlog at the master doesn't vanish.
In case it disconnected during rdb transfer, one can argue that it's
not very important to re-connect immediately, but this is needed for the
"diskless loading short read" test to be able to run 100 iterations in 5
seconds, rather than 3 (waiting for replication cron re-connection)
changes in this commit:
1) sync command starts a fork immediately if no sync_delay is configured
2) replica sends REPLCONF ACK when done reading the rdb (rather than on 1s cron)
3) when a replica unexpectedly disconnets, it immediately tries to
re-connect rather than waiting 1s
4) when when a child exits, if there is another replica waiting, we spawn a new
one right away, instead of waiting for 1s replicationCron.
5) added a call to connectWithMaster from replicationSetMaster. which is called
from the REPLICAOF command but also in 3 places in cluster.c, in all of
these the connection attempt will now be immediate instead of delayed by 1
second.
side note:
we can add a call to rdbPipeReadHandler in replconfCommand when getting
a REPLCONF ACK from the replica to solve a race where the replica got
the entire rdb and EOF marker before we detected that the pipe was
closed.
in the test i did see this race happens in one about of some 300 runs,
but i concluded that this race is unlikely in real life (where the
replica is on another host and we're more likely to first detect the
pipe was closed.
the test runs 100 iterations in 3 seconds, so in some cases it'll take 4
seconds instead (waiting for another REPLCONF ACK).
Removing unneeded startBgsaveForReplication from updateSlavesWaitingForBgsave
Now that CheckChildrenDone is calling the new replicationStartPendingFork
(extracted from serverCron) there's actually no need to call
startBgsaveForReplication from updateSlavesWaitingForBgsave anymore,
since as soon as updateSlavesWaitingForBgsave returns, CheckChildrenDone is
calling replicationStartPendingFork that handles that anyway.
The code in updateSlavesWaitingForBgsave had a bug in which it ignored
repl-diskless-sync-delay, but removing that code shows that this bug was
hiding another bug, which is that the max_idle should have used >= and
not >, this one second delay has a big impact on my new test.
- the test now waits for specific set of log messages rather than wait for
timeout looking for just one message.
- we don't wanna sample the current length of the log after an action, due
to a race, we need to start the search from the line number of the last
message we where waiting for.
- when attempting to trigger a full sync, use multi-exec to avoid a race
where the replica manages to re-connect before we completed the set of
actions that should force a full sync.
- fix verify_log_message which was broken and unused
tests were sensitive to additional log lines appearing in the log
causing the search to come empty handed.
instead of just looking for the n last log lines, capture the log lines
before performing the action, and then search from that offset.
The scan key module API provides the scan callback with the current
field name and value (if it exists). Those arguments are RedisModuleString*
which means it supposes to point to robj which is encoded as a string.
Using createStringObjectFromLongLong function might return robj that
points to an integer and so break a module that tries for example to
use RedisModule_StringPtrLen on the given field/value.
The PR introduces a fix that uses the createObject function and sdsfromlonglong function.
Using those function promise that the field and value pass to the to the
scan callback will be Strings.
The PR also changes the Scan test module to use RedisModule_StringPtrLen
to catch the issue. without this, the issue is hidden because
RedisModule_ReplyWithString knows to handle integer encoding of the
given robj (RedisModuleString).
The PR also introduces a new test to verify the issue is solved.
There is an inherent race between the deferring client and the
"main" client of the test: While the deferring client issues a blocking
command, we can't know for sure that by the time the "main" client
tries to issue another command (Usually one that unblocks the deferring
client) the deferring client is even blocked...
For lack of a better choice this commit uses TCL's 'after' in order
to give some time for the deferring client to issues its blocking
command before the "main" client does its thing.
This problem probably exists in many other tests but this commit
tries to fix blockonkeys.tcl
By using a "circular BRPOPLPUSH"-like scenario it was
possible the get the same client on db->blocking_keys
twice (See comment in moduleTryServeClientBlockedOnKey)
The fix was actually already implememnted in
moduleTryServeClientBlockedOnKey but it had a bug:
the funxction should return 0 or 1 (not OK or ERR)
Other changes:
1. Added two commands to blockonkeys.c test module (To
reproduce the case described above)
2. Simplify blockonkeys.c in order to make testing easier
3. cast raxSize() to avoid warning with format spec
Makse sure call() doesn't wrap replicated commands with
a redundant MULTI/EXEC
Other, unrelated changes:
1. Formatting compiler warning in INFO CLIENTS
2. Use CLIENT_ID_AOF instead of UINT64_MAX
If a blocked module client times-out (or disconnects, unblocked
by CLIENT command, etc.) we need to call moduleUnblockClient
in order to free memory allocated by the module sub-system
and blocked-client private data
Other changes:
Made blockedonkeys.tcl tests a bit more aggressive in order
to smoke-out potential memory leaks
With the previous API, a NULL return value was ambiguous and could
represent either an old value of NULL or an error condition. The new API
returns a status code and allows the old value to be returned
by-reference.
This commit also includes test coverage based on
tests/modules/datatype.c which did not exist at the time of the original
commit.
there were two lssues, one is taht BGREWRITEAOF failed since the initial one was still in progress
the solution for this one is to enable appendonly from the server startup so there's no initial aofrw.
the other problem was 0 loading progress events, theory is that on some
platforms a sleep of 1 will cause a much greater delay due to the context
switch, but on other platform it doesn't. in theory a sleep of 100 micro
for 1k keys whould take 100ms, and with hz of 500 we should be gettering
50 events (one every 2ms). in practise it doesn't work like that, so trying
to find a sleep that would be long enough but still not cause the test to take
too long.
