In the past, the first bind address that was explicitly specified was
also used to bind outgoing connections. This could result with some
problems. For example: on some systems using `bind 127.0.0.1` would
result with outgoing connections also binding to `127.0.0.1` and failing
to connect to remote addresses.
With the recent change to the way `bind` is handled, this presented
other issues:
* The default first bind address is '*' which is not a valid address.
* We make no distinction between user-supplied config that is identical
to the default, and the default config.
This commit addresses both these issues by introducing an explicit
configuration parameter to control the bind address on outgoing
connections.
* Specifying an empty `bind ""` configuration prevents Redis from listening on any TCP port. Before this commit, such configuration was not accepted.
* Using `CONFIG GET bind` will always return an explicit configuration value. Before this commit, if a bind address was not specified the returned value was empty (which was an anomaly).
Another behavior change is that modifying the `bind` configuration to a non-default value will NO LONGER DISABLE protected-mode implicitly.
This commit revives the improves the ability to run the test suite against
external servers, instead of launching and managing `redis-server` processes as
part of the test fixture.
This capability existed in the past, using the `--host` and `--port` options.
However, it was quite limited and mostly useful when running a specific tests.
Attempting to run larger chunks of the test suite experienced many issues:
* Many tests depend on being able to start and control `redis-server` themselves,
and there's no clear distinction between external server compatible and other
tests.
* Cluster mode is not supported (resulting with `CROSSSLOT` errors).
This PR cleans up many things and makes it possible to run the entire test suite
against an external server. It also provides more fine grained controls to
handle cases where the external server supports a subset of the Redis commands,
limited number of databases, cluster mode, etc.
The tests directory now contains a `README.md` file that describes how this
works.
This commit also includes additional cleanups and fixes:
* Tests can now be tagged.
* Tag-based selection is now unified across `start_server`, `tags` and `test`.
* More information is provided about skipped or ignored tests.
* Repeated patterns in tests have been extracted to common procedures, both at a
global level and on a per-test file basis.
* Cleaned up some cases where test setup was based on a previous test executing
(a major anti-pattern that repeats itself in many places).
* Cleaned up some cases where test teardown was not part of a test (in the
future we should have dedicated teardown code that executes even when tests
fail).
* Fixed some tests that were flaky running on external servers.
Add ability to modify port, tls-port and bind configurations by CONFIG SET command.
To simplify the code and make it cleaner, a new structure
added, socketFds, which contains the file descriptors array and its counter,
and used for TCP, TLS and Cluster sockets file descriptors.
