Recently we started using list-compress-depth in tests (was completely untested till now).
Turns this triggered test failures with the external mode, since the tests left the setting enabled
and then it was used in other tests (specifically the fuzzer named "Stress tester for #3343-alike bugs").
This PR fixes the issue of the `recompress` flag being left set by mistake, which caused the code to
later to compress the head or tail nodes (which should never be compressed)
The solution is to reset the recompress flag when it should have been (when it was decided not to compress).
Additionally we're adding some assertions and improve the tests so in order to catch other similar bugs.
Currently PING returns different status when server is not serving data,
for example when `LOADING` or `BUSY`.
But same was not true for `MASTERDOWN`
This commit makes PING reply with `MASTERDOWN` when
replica-serve-stale-data=no and link is MASTER is down.
Drop the STRALGO command, now LCS is a command of its own and it only works on keys (not input strings).
The motivation is that STRALGO's syntax was really messed-up...
- assumes all (future) string algorithms will take similar arguments
- mixes command that takes keys and one that doesn't in the same command.
- make it nearly impossible to expose the right key spec in COMMAND INFO (issues cluster clients)
- hard for cluster clients to determine the key names (firstkey, lastkey, etc)
- hard for ACL / flags (is it a read command?)
This is a breaking change.
Moves ZPOP ... 0 fast exit path after type check to reply with
WRONGTYPE. In the past it will return an empty array.
Also now count is not allowed to be negative.
see #9680
before:
```
127.0.0.1:6379> set zset str
OK
127.0.0.1:6379> zpopmin zset 0
(empty array)
127.0.0.1:6379> zpopmin zset -1
(empty array)
```
after:
```
127.0.0.1:6379> set zset str
OK
127.0.0.1:6379> zpopmin zset 0
(error) WRONGTYPE Operation against a key holding the wrong kind of value
127.0.0.1:6379> zpopmin zset -1
(error) ERR value is out of range, must be positive
```
Redis supports inserting data over 4GB into string (and recently for lists too, see #9357),
But LZF compression used in RDB files (see `rdbcompression` config), and in quicklist
(see `list-compress-depth` config) does not support compress/decompress data over
UINT32_MAX, which will result in corrupting the rdb after compression.
Internal changes:
1. Modify the `unsigned int` parameter of `lzf_compress/lzf_decompress` to `size_t`.
2. Modify the variable types in `lzf_compress` involving offsets and lengths to `size_t`.
3. Set LZF_USE_OFFSETS to 0.
When LZF_USE_OFFSETS is 1, lzf store offset into `LZF_HSLOT`(32bit).
Even in 64-bit, `LZF_USE_OFFSETS` defaults to 1, because lzf assumes that it only
compresses and decompresses data smaller than UINT32_MAX.
But now we need to make lzf support 64-bit, turning on `LZF_USE_OFFSETS` will make
it impossible to store 64-bit offsets or pointers.
BTW, disable LZF_USE_OFFSETS also brings a few performance improvements.
Tests:
1. Add test for compress/decompress string large than UINT32_MAX.
2. Add unittest for compress/decompress quicklistNode.
Two issues:
1. In many tests we simply forgot to close the connections we created, which doesn't matter for normal tests where the server is killed, but creates a leak on external server tests.
2. When calling `start_server` on external test we create a fresh connection instead of really starting a new server, but never clean it at the end.
I have seen this CI failure twice on MacOS:
*** [err]: PEXPIRE/PSETEX/PEXPIREAT can set sub-second expires in tests/unit/expire.tcl
Expected 'somevalue {} somevalue {} somevalue {}' to equal or match '{} {} {} {} somevalue {}'
I did some loop test in my own daily CI, the results show that is
not particularly stable. Change the threshold from 30 to 50.
In both tests, "diskless loading short read" and "diskless loading short read with module",
the timeout of waiting for the replica to respond to a short read and log it, is too short.
Also, add --dump-logs in runtest-moduleapi for valgrind runs.
For diskless replication in swapdb mode, considering we already spend replica memory
having a backup of current db to restore in case of failure, we can have the following benefits
by instead swapping database only in case we succeeded in transferring db from master:
- Avoid `LOADING` response during failed and successful synchronization for cases where the
replica is already up and running with data.
- Faster total time of diskless replication, because now we're moving from Transfer + Flush + Load
time to Transfer + Load only. Flushing the tempDb is done asynchronously after swapping.
- This could be implemented also for disk replication with similar benefits if consumers are willing
to spend the extra memory usage.
General notes:
- The concept of `backupDb` becomes `tempDb` for clarity.
- Async loading mode will only kick in if the replica is syncing from a master that has the same
repl-id the one it had before. i.e. the data it's getting belongs to a different time of the same timeline.
- New property in INFO: `async_loading` to differentiate from the blocking loading
- Slot to Key mapping is now a field of `redisDb` as it's more natural to access it from both server.db
and the tempDb that is passed around.
- Because this is affecting replicas only, we assume that if they are not readonly and write commands
during replication, they are lost after SYNC same way as before, but we're still denying CONFIG SET
here anyways to avoid complications.
Considerations for review:
- We have many cases where server.loading flag is used and even though I tried my best, there may
be cases where async_loading should be checked as well and cases where it shouldn't (would require
very good understanding of whole code)
- Several places that had different behavior depending on the loading flag where actually meant to just
handle commands coming from the AOF client differently than ones coming from real clients, changed
to check CLIENT_ID_AOF instead.
**Additional for Release Notes**
- Bugfix - server.dirty was not incremented for any kind of diskless replication, as effect it wouldn't
contribute on triggering next database SAVE
- New flag for RM_GetContextFlags module API: REDISMODULE_CTX_FLAGS_ASYNC_LOADING
- Deprecated RedisModuleEvent_ReplBackup. Starting from Redis 7.0, we don't fire this event.
Instead, we have the new RedisModuleEvent_ReplAsyncLoad holding 3 sub-events: STARTED,
ABORTED and COMPLETED.
- New module flag REDISMODULE_OPTIONS_HANDLE_REPL_ASYNC_LOAD for RedisModule_SetModuleOptions
to allow modules to declare they support the diskless replication with async loading (when absent, we fall
back to disk-based loading).

Introduced in #8179, this fixes the command's replies in the 0 count edge case.
[BREAKING] changes the reply type when count is 0 to an empty array (instead of nil)
Moves LPOP ... 0 fast exit path after type check to reply with WRONGTYPE
Redis lists are stored in quicklist, which is currently a linked list of ziplists.
Ziplists are limited to storing elements no larger than 4GB, so when bigger
items are added they're getting truncated.
This PR changes quicklists so that they're capable of storing large items
in quicklist nodes that are plain string buffers rather than ziplist.
As part of the PR there were few other changes in redis:
1. new DEBUG sub-commands:
- QUICKLIST-PACKED-THRESHOLD - set the threshold of for the node type to
be plan or ziplist. default (1GB)
- QUICKLIST <key> - Shows low level info about the quicklist encoding of <key>
2. rdb format change:
- A new type was added - RDB_TYPE_LIST_QUICKLIST_2 .
- container type (packed / plain) was added to the beginning of the rdb object
(before the actual node list).
3. testing:
- Tests that requires over 100MB will be by default skipped. a new flag was
added to 'runtest' to run the large memory tests (not used by default)

Add new no-mandatory-keys flag to support COMMAND GETKEYS of commands
which have no mandatory keys.
In the past we would have got this error:
```
127.0.0.1:6379> command getkeys eval "return 1" 0
(error) ERR Invalid arguments specified for command
```
The issue was that setting maxmemory to used_memory and expecting
eviction is insufficient, since we need to take
mem_not_counted_for_evict into consideration.
This test got broken by #9166
The External tests started failing recently for unclear reason:
```
*** [err]: Tracking invalidation message of eviction keys should be before response in tests/unit/tracking.tcl
Expected '0' to be equal to 'invalidate volatile-key' (context: type eval line 21 cmd {assert_equal $res {invalidate volatile-key}} proc ::test)
```
I suspect the issue is that the used_memory sample is taken while a lazy free is still being processed.
The module test in reply.tcl was introduced by #8521 but didn't run until recently (see #9639)
and then it started failing with valgrind.
This is because valgrind uses 64 bit long double (unlike most other platforms that have at least 80 bits)
But besides valgrind, the tests where also incompatible with ARM32, which also uses 64 bit long doubles.
We now use appropriate value to avoid issues with either valgrind or ARM32
In all the double tests, i use 3.141, which is safe since since addReplyDouble uses
`%.17Lg` which is able to represent this value without adding any digits due to precision loss.
In the long double, since we use `%.17Lf` in ld2string, it preserves 17 significant
digits, rather than 17 digit after the decimal point (like in `%.17Lg`).
So to make these similar, i use value lower than 1 (no digits left of
the period)
Lastly, we have the same issue with TCL (no long doubles) so we read
raw protocol in that test.
Note that the only error before this fix (in both valgrind and ARM32 is this:
```
*** [err]: RM_ReplyWithLongDouble: a float reply in tests/unit/moduleapi/reply.tcl
Expected '3.141' to be equal to '3.14100000000000001' (context: type eval line 2 cmd {assert_equal 3.141 [r rw.longdouble 3.141]} proc ::test)
```
so the changes to debug.c and scripting.tcl aren't really needed, but i consider them a cleanup
(i.e. scripting.c validated a different constant than the one that's sent to it from debug.c).
Another unrelated change is to add the RESP version to the repeated tests in reply.tcl
The previous code did not check whether COUNT is set.
So we can use `lmpop 2 key1 key2 left count 1 count 2`.
This situation can occur in LMPOP/BLMPOP/ZMPOP/BZMPOP commands.
LMPOP/BLMPOP introduced in #9373, ZMPOP/BZMPOP introduced in #9484.
Let modules use additional type of RESP3 response (unused by redis so far)
Also fix tests that where introduced in #8521 but didn't actually run.

## Background
For redis master, one replica uses one copy of replication buffer, that is a big waste of memory,
more replicas more waste, and allocate/free memory for every reply list also cost much.
If we set client-output-buffer-limit small and write traffic is heavy, master may disconnect with
replicas and can't finish synchronization with replica. If we set client-output-buffer-limit big,
master may be OOM when there are many replicas that separately keep much memory.
Because replication buffers of different replica client are the same, one simple idea is that
all replicas only use one replication buffer, that will effectively save memory.
Since replication backlog content is the same as replicas' output buffer, now we
can discard replication backlog memory and use global shared replication buffer
to implement replication backlog mechanism.
## Implementation
I create one global "replication buffer" which contains content of replication stream.
The structure of "replication buffer" is similar to the reply list that exists in every client.
But the node of list is `replBufBlock`, which has `id, repl_offset, refcount` fields.
```c
/* Replication buffer blocks is the list of replBufBlock.
*
* +--------------+ +--------------+ +--------------+
* | refcount = 1 | ... | refcount = 0 | ... | refcount = 2 |
* +--------------+ +--------------+ +--------------+
* | / \
* | / \
* | / \
* Repl Backlog Replia_A Replia_B
*
* Each replica or replication backlog increments only the refcount of the
* 'ref_repl_buf_node' which it points to. So when replica walks to the next
* node, it should first increase the next node's refcount, and when we trim
* the replication buffer nodes, we remove node always from the head node which
* refcount is 0. If the refcount of the head node is not 0, we must stop
* trimming and never iterate the next node. */
/* Similar with 'clientReplyBlock', it is used for shared buffers between
* all replica clients and replication backlog. */
typedef struct replBufBlock {
int refcount; /* Number of replicas or repl backlog using. */
long long id; /* The unique incremental number. */
long long repl_offset; /* Start replication offset of the block. */
size_t size, used;
char buf[];
} replBufBlock;
```
So now when we feed replication stream into replication backlog and all replicas, we only need
to feed stream into replication buffer `feedReplicationBuffer`. In this function, we set some fields of
replication backlog and replicas to references of the global replication buffer blocks. And we also
need to check replicas' output buffer limit to free if exceeding `client-output-buffer-limit`, and trim
replication backlog if exceeding `repl-backlog-size`.
When sending reply to replicas, we also need to iterate replication buffer blocks and send its
content, when totally sending one block for replica, we decrease current node count and
increase the next current node count, and then free the block which reference is 0 from the
head of replication buffer blocks.
Since now we use linked list to manage replication backlog, it may cost much time for iterating
all linked list nodes to find corresponding replication buffer node. So we create a rax tree to
store some nodes for index, but to avoid rax tree occupying too much memory, i record
one per 64 nodes for index.
Currently, to make partial resynchronization as possible as much, we always let replication
backlog as the last reference of replication buffer blocks, backlog size may exceeds our setting
if slow replicas that reference vast replication buffer blocks, and this method doesn't increase
memory usage since they share replication buffer. To avoid freezing server for freeing unreferenced
replication buffer blocks when we need to trim backlog for exceeding backlog size setting,
we trim backlog incrementally (free 64 blocks per call now), and make it faster in
`beforeSleep` (free 640 blocks).
### Other changes
- `mem_total_replication_buffers`: we add this field in INFO command, it means the total
memory of replication buffers used.
- `mem_clients_slaves`: now even replica is slow to replicate, and its output buffer memory
is not 0, but it still may be 0, since replication backlog and replicas share one global replication
buffer, only if replication buffer memory is more than the repl backlog setting size, we consider
the excess as replicas' memory. Otherwise, we think replication buffer memory is the consumption
of repl backlog.
- Key eviction
Since all replicas and replication backlog share global replication buffer, we think only the
part of exceeding backlog size the extra separate consumption of replicas.
Because we trim backlog incrementally in the background, backlog size may exceeds our
setting if slow replicas that reference vast replication buffer blocks disconnect.
To avoid massive eviction loop, we don't count the delayed freed replication backlog into
used memory even if there are no replicas, i.e. we also regard this memory as replicas's memory.
- `client-output-buffer-limit` check for replica clients
It doesn't make sense to set the replica clients output buffer limit lower than the repl-backlog-size
config (partial sync will succeed and then replica will get disconnected). Such a configuration is
ignored (the size of repl-backlog-size will be used). This doesn't have memory consumption
implications since the replica client will share the backlog buffers memory.
- Drop replication backlog after loading data if needed
We always create replication backlog if server is a master, we need it because we put DELs in
it when loading expired keys in RDB, but if RDB doesn't have replication info or there is no rdb,
it is not possible to support partial resynchronization, to avoid extra memory of replication backlog,
we drop it.
- Multi IO threads
Since all replicas and replication backlog use global replication buffer, if I/O threads are enabled,
to guarantee data accessing thread safe, we must let main thread handle sending the output buffer
to all replicas. But before, other IO threads could handle sending output buffer of all replicas.
## Other optimizations
This solution resolve some other problem:
- When replicas disconnect with master since of out of output buffer limit, releasing the output
buffer of replicas may freeze server if we set big `client-output-buffer-limit` for replicas, but now,
it doesn't cause freezing.
- This implementation may mitigate reply list copy cost time(also freezes server) when one replication
has huge reply buffer and another replica can copy buffer for full synchronization. now, we just copy
reference info, it is very light.
- If we set replication backlog size big, it also may cost much time to copy replication backlog into
replica's output buffer. But this commit eliminates this problem.
- Resizing replication backlog size doesn't empty current replication backlog content.
Before this commit, module blocked clients did not carry through the original RESP version, resulting with RESP3 clients receiving unexpected RESP2 replies.
Following #9483 the daily CI exposed a few problems.
* The cluster creation code (uses redis-cli) is complicated to test with TLS enabled.
for now i'm just skipping them since the tests we run there don't really need that kind of coverage
* cluster port binding failures
note that `find_available_port` already looks for a free cluster port
but the code in `wait_server_started` couldn't detect the failure of binding
(the text it greps for wasn't found in the log)
## Intro
The purpose is to allow having different flags/ACL categories for
subcommands (Example: CONFIG GET is ok-loading but CONFIG SET isn't)
We create a small command table for every command that has subcommands
and each subcommand has its own flags, etc. (same as a "regular" command)
This commit also unites the Redis and the Sentinel command tables
## Affected commands
CONFIG
Used to have "admin ok-loading ok-stale no-script"
Changes:
1. Dropped "ok-loading" in all except GET (this doesn't change behavior since
there were checks in the code doing that)
XINFO
Used to have "read-only random"
Changes:
1. Dropped "random" in all except CONSUMERS
XGROUP
Used to have "write use-memory"
Changes:
1. Dropped "use-memory" in all except CREATE and CREATECONSUMER
COMMAND
No changes.
MEMORY
Used to have "random read-only"
Changes:
1. Dropped "random" in PURGE and USAGE
ACL
Used to have "admin no-script ok-loading ok-stale"
Changes:
1. Dropped "admin" in WHOAMI, GENPASS, and CAT
LATENCY
No changes.
MODULE
No changes.
SLOWLOG
Used to have "admin random ok-loading ok-stale"
Changes:
1. Dropped "random" in RESET
OBJECT
Used to have "read-only random"
Changes:
1. Dropped "random" in ENCODING and REFCOUNT
SCRIPT
Used to have "may-replicate no-script"
Changes:
1. Dropped "may-replicate" in all except FLUSH and LOAD
CLIENT
Used to have "admin no-script random ok-loading ok-stale"
Changes:
1. Dropped "random" in all except INFO and LIST
2. Dropped "admin" in ID, TRACKING, CACHING, GETREDIR, INFO, SETNAME, GETNAME, and REPLY
STRALGO
No changes.
PUBSUB
No changes.
CLUSTER
Changes:
1. Dropped "admin in countkeysinslots, getkeysinslot, info, nodes, keyslot, myid, and slots
SENTINEL
No changes.
(note that DEBUG also fits, but we decided not to convert it since it's for
debugging and anyway undocumented)
## New sub-command
This commit adds another element to the per-command output of COMMAND,
describing the list of subcommands, if any (in the same structure as "regular" commands)
Also, it adds a new subcommand:
```
COMMAND LIST [FILTERBY (MODULE <module-name>|ACLCAT <cat>|PATTERN <pattern>)]
```
which returns a set of all commands (unless filters), but excluding subcommands.
## Module API
A new module API, RM_CreateSubcommand, was added, in order to allow
module writer to define subcommands
## ACL changes:
1. Now, that each subcommand is actually a command, each has its own ACL id.
2. The old mechanism of allowed_subcommands is redundant
(blocking/allowing a subcommand is the same as blocking/allowing a regular command),
but we had to keep it, to support the widespread usage of allowed_subcommands
to block commands with certain args, that aren't subcommands (e.g. "-select +select|0").
3. I have renamed allowed_subcommands to allowed_firstargs to emphasize the difference.
4. Because subcommands are commands in ACL too, you can now use "-" to block subcommands
(e.g. "+client -client|kill"), which wasn't possible in the past.
5. It is also possible to use the allowed_firstargs mechanism with subcommand.
For example: `+config -config|set +config|set|loglevel` will block all CONFIG SET except
for setting the log level.
6. All of the ACL changes above required some amount of refactoring.
## Misc
1. There are two approaches: Either each subcommand has its own function or all
subcommands use the same function, determining what to do according to argv[0].
For now, I took the former approaches only with CONFIG and COMMAND,
while other commands use the latter approach (for smaller blamelog diff).
2. Deleted memoryGetKeys: It is no longer needed because MEMORY USAGE now uses the "range" key spec.
4. Bugfix: GETNAME was missing from CLIENT's help message.
5. Sentinel and Redis now use the same table, with the same function pointer.
Some commands have a different implementation in Sentinel, so we redirect
them (these are ROLE, PUBLISH, and INFO).
6. Command stats now show the stats per subcommand (e.g. instead of stats just
for "config" you will have stats for "config|set", "config|get", etc.)
7. It is now possible to use COMMAND directly on subcommands:
COMMAND INFO CONFIG|GET (The pipeline syntax was inspired from ACL, and
can be used in functions lookupCommandBySds and lookupCommandByCString)
8. STRALGO is now a container command (has "help")
## Breaking changes:
1. Command stats now show the stats per subcommand (see (5) above)
Prevent clients from being blocked forever in cluster when they block with their own module command
and the hash slot is migrated to another master at the same time.
These will get a redirection message when unblocked.
Also, release clients blocked on module commands when cluster is down (same as other blocked clients)
This commit adds basic tests for the main (non-cluster) redis test infra that test the cluster.
This was done because the cluster test infra can't handle some common test features,
but most importantly we only build the test modules with the non-cluster test suite.
note that rather than really supporting cluster operations by the test infra, it was added (as dup code)
in two files, one for module tests and one for non-modules tests, maybe in the future we'll refactor that.

obuf based eviction tests run until eviction occurs instead of assuming a certain
amount of writes will fill the obuf enough for eviction to occur.
This handles the kernel buffering written data and emptying the obuf even though
no one actualy reads from it.
The tests have a new timeout of 20sec: if the test doesn't pass after 20 sec it'll fail.
Hopefully this enough for our slow CI targets.
This also eliminates the need to skip some tests in TLS.
Tracking invalidation messages were sometimes sent in inconsistent order,
before the command's reply rather than after.
In addition to that, they were sometimes embedded inside other commands
responses, like MULTI-EXEC and MGET.
* Reduce delay between publishes to allow less time to write the obufs.
* More subscribed clients to buffer more data per publish.
* Make sure main connection isn't evicted (it has a large qbuf).
Changes in #9528 lead to memory leak if the command implementation
used rewriteClientCommandArgument inside MULTI-EXEC.
Adding an explicit test for that case since the test that uncovered it
didn't specifically target this scenario
When LUA call our C code, by default, the LUA stack has room for 10
elements. In most cases, this is more than enough but sometimes it's not
and the caller must verify the LUA stack size before he pushes elements.
On 3 places in the code, there was no verification of the LUA stack size.
On specific inputs this missing verification could have lead to invalid
memory write:
1. On 'luaReplyToRedisReply', one might return a nested reply that will
explode the LUA stack.
2. On 'redisProtocolToLuaType', the Redis reply might be deep enough
to explode the LUA stack (notice that currently there is no such
command in Redis that returns such a nested reply, but modules might
do it)
3. On 'ldbRedis', one might give a command with enough arguments to
explode the LUA stack (all the arguments will be pushed to the LUA
stack)
This commit is solving all those 3 issues by calling 'lua_checkstack' and
verify that there is enough room in the LUA stack to push elements. In
case 'lua_checkstack' returns an error (there is not enough room in the
LUA stack and it's not possible to increase the stack), we will do the
following:
1. On 'luaReplyToRedisReply', we will return an error to the user.
2. On 'redisProtocolToLuaType' we will exit with panic (we assume this
scenario is rare because it can only happen with a module).
3. On 'ldbRedis', we return an error.
The protocol parsing on 'ldbReplParseCommand' (LUA debugging)
Assumed protocol correctness. This means that if the following
is given:
*1
$100
test
The parser will try to read additional 94 unallocated bytes after
the client buffer.
This commit fixes this issue by validating that there are actually enough
bytes to read. It also limits the amount of data that can be sent by
the debugger client to 1M so the client will not be able to explode
the memory.

- fix possible heap corruption in ziplist and listpack resulting by trying to
allocate more than the maximum size of 4GB.
- prevent ziplist (hash and zset) from reaching size of above 1GB, will be
converted to HT encoding, that's not a useful size.
- prevent listpack (stream) from reaching size of above 1GB.
- XADD will start a new listpack if the new record may cause the previous
listpack to grow over 1GB.
- XADD will respond with an error if a single stream record is over 1GB
- List type (ziplist in quicklist) was truncating strings that were over 4GB,
now it'll respond with an error.

This change sets a low limit for multibulk and bulk length in the
protocol for unauthenticated connections, so that they can't easily
cause redis to allocate massive amounts of memory by sending just a few
characters on the network.
The new limits are 10 arguments of 16kb each (instead of 1m of 512mb)
Note that this breaks compatibility because in the past doing:
DECRBY x -9223372036854775808
would succeed (and create an invalid result) and now this returns an error.
Remove hard coded multi-bulk limit (was 1,048,576), new limit is INT_MAX.
When client sends an m-bulk that's higher than 1024, we initially only allocate
the argv array for 1024 arguments, and gradually grow that allocation as arguments
are received.
Fixing CI test issues introduced in #8687
- valgrind warnings in readQueryFromClient when client was freed by processInputBuffer
- adding DEBUG pause-cron for tests not to be time dependent.
- skipping a test that depends on socket buffers / events not compatible with TLS
- making sure client got subscribed by not using deferring client
### Description
A mechanism for disconnecting clients when the sum of all connected clients is above a
configured limit. This prevents eviction or OOM caused by accumulated used memory
between all clients. It's a complimentary mechanism to the `client-output-buffer-limit`
mechanism which takes into account not only a single client and not only output buffers
but rather all memory used by all clients.
#### Design
The general design is as following:
* We track memory usage of each client, taking into account all memory used by the
client (query buffer, output buffer, parsed arguments, etc...). This is kept up to date
after reading from the socket, after processing commands and after writing to the socket.
* Based on the used memory we sort all clients into buckets. Each bucket contains all
clients using up up to x2 memory of the clients in the bucket below it. For example up
to 1m clients, up to 2m clients, up to 4m clients, ...
* Before processing a command and before sleep we check if we're over the configured
limit. If we are we start disconnecting clients from larger buckets downwards until we're
under the limit.
#### Config
`maxmemory-clients` max memory all clients are allowed to consume, above this threshold
we disconnect clients.
This config can either be set to 0 (meaning no limit), a size in bytes (possibly with MB/GB
suffix), or as a percentage of `maxmemory` by using the `%` suffix (e.g. setting it to `10%`
would mean 10% of `maxmemory`).
#### Important code changes
* During the development I encountered yet more situations where our io-threads access
global vars. And needed to fix them. I also had to handle keeps the clients sorted into the
memory buckets (which are global) while their memory usage changes in the io-thread.
To achieve this I decided to simplify how we check if we're in an io-thread and make it
much more explicit. I removed the `CLIENT_PENDING_READ` flag used for checking
if the client is in an io-thread (it wasn't used for anything else) and just used the global
`io_threads_op` variable the same way to check during writes.
* I optimized the cleanup of the client from the `clients_pending_read` list on client freeing.
We now store a pointer in the `client` struct to this list so we don't need to search in it
(`pending_read_list_node`).
* Added `evicted_clients` stat to `INFO` command.
* Added `CLIENT NO-EVICT ON|OFF` sub command to exclude a specific client from the
client eviction mechanism. Added corrosponding 'e' flag in the client info string.
* Added `multi-mem` field in the client info string to show how much memory is used up
by buffered multi commands.
* Client `tot-mem` now accounts for buffered multi-commands, pubsub patterns and
channels (partially), tracking prefixes (partially).
* CLIENT_CLOSE_ASAP flag is now handled in a new `beforeNextClient()` function so
clients will be disconnected between processing different clients and not only before sleep.
This new function can be used in the future for work we want to do outside the command
processing loop but don't want to wait for all clients to be processed before we get to it.
Specifically I wanted to handle output-buffer-limit related closing before we process client
eviction in case the two race with each other.
* Added a `DEBUG CLIENT-EVICTION` command to print out info about the client eviction
buckets.
* Each client now holds a pointer to the client eviction memory usage bucket it belongs to
and listNode to itself in that bucket for quick removal.
* Global `io_threads_op` variable now can contain a `IO_THREADS_OP_IDLE` value
indicating no io-threading is currently being executed.
* In order to track memory used by each clients in real-time we can't rely on updating
these stats in `clientsCron()` alone anymore. So now I call `updateClientMemUsage()`
(used to be `clientsCronTrackClientsMemUsage()`) after command processing, after
writing data to pubsub clients, after writing the output buffer and after reading from the
socket (and maybe other places too). The function is written to be fast.
* Clients are evicted if needed (with appropriate log line) in `beforeSleep()` and before
processing a command (before performing oom-checks and key-eviction).
* All clients memory usage buckets are grouped as follows:
* All clients using less than 64k.
* 64K..128K
* 128K..256K
* ...
* 2G..4G
* All clients using 4g and up.
* Added client-eviction.tcl with a bunch of tests for the new mechanism.
* Extended maxmemory.tcl to test the interaction between maxmemory and
maxmemory-clients settings.
* Added an option to flag a numeric configuration variable as a "percent", this means that
if we encounter a '%' after the number in the config file (or config set command) we
consider it as valid. Such a number is store internally as a negative value. This way an
integer value can be interpreted as either a percent (negative) or absolute value (positive).
This is useful for example if some numeric configuration can optionally be set to a percentage
of something else.

This commit introduced a new flag to the RM_Call:
'C' - Check if the command can be executed according to the ACLs associated with it.
Also, three new API's added to check if a command, key, or channel can be executed or accessed
by a user, according to the ACLs associated with it.
- RM_ACLCheckCommandPerm
- RM_ACLCheckKeyPerm
- RM_ACLCheckChannelPerm
The user for these API's is a RedisModuleUser object, that for a Module user returned by the RM_CreateModuleUser API, or for a general ACL user can be retrieved by these two new API's:
- RM_GetCurrentUserName - Retrieve the user name of the client connection behind the current context.
- RM_GetModuleUserFromUserName - Get a RedisModuleUser from a user name
As a result of getting a RedisModuleUser from name, it can now also access the general ACL users (not just ones created by the module).
This mean the already existing API RM_SetModuleUserACL(), can be used to change the ACL rules for such users.
This is similar to the recent addition of LMPOP/BLMPOP (#9373), but zset.
Syntax for the new ZMPOP command:
`ZMPOP numkeys [<key> ...] MIN|MAX [COUNT count]`
Syntax for the new BZMPOP command:
`BZMPOP timeout numkeys [<key> ...] MIN|MAX [COUNT count]`
Some background:
- ZPOPMIN/ZPOPMAX take only one key, and can return multiple elements.
- BZPOPMIN/BZPOPMAX take multiple keys, but return only one element from just one key.
- ZMPOP/BZMPOP can take multiple keys, and can return multiple elements from just one key.
Note that ZMPOP/BZMPOP can take multiple keys, it eventually operates on just on key.
And it will propagate as ZPOPMIN or ZPOPMAX with the COUNT option.
As new commands, if we can not pop any elements, the response like:
- ZMPOP: Return a NIL in both RESP2 and RESP3, unlike ZPOPMIN/ZPOPMAX return emptyarray.
- BZMPOP: Return a NIL in both RESP2 and RESP3 when timeout is reached, like BZPOPMIN/BZPOPMAX.
For the normal response is nested arrays in RESP2 and RESP3:
```
ZMPOP/BZMPOP
1) keyname
2) 1) 1) member1
2) score1
2) 1) member2
2) score2
In RESP2:
1) "myzset"
2) 1) 1) "three"
2) "3"
2) 1) "two"
2) "2"
In RESP3:
1) "myzset"
2) 1) 1) "three"
2) (double) 3
2) 1) "two"
2) (double) 2
```
i've seen this CI failure a couple of times on MacOS:
*** [err]: lazy free a stream with all types of metadata in tests/unit/lazyfree.tcl
lazyfree isn't done
only reason i can think of is that 500ms is sometimes not enough on slow systems.
Implements the [LIMIT limit] variant of SINTERCARD/ZINTERCARD.
Now with the LIMIT, we can stop the searching when cardinality
reaching the limit, and return the cardinality ASAP.
Note that in SINTERCARD, the old synatx was: `SINTERCARD key [key ...]`
In order to add a optional parameter, we must break the old synatx.
So the new syntax of SINTERCARD will be consistent with ZINTERCARD.
New syntax: `SINTERCARD numkeys key [key ...] [LIMIT limit]`.
Note that this means that SINTERCARD has a different syntax than
SINTER and SINTERSTORE (taking numkeys argument)
As for ZINTERCARD, we can easily add a optional parameter to it.
New syntax: `ZINTERCARD numkeys key [key ...] [LIMIT limit]`
Fix#7297
The problem:
Today, there is no way for a client library or app to know the key name indexes for commands such as
ZUNIONSTORE/EVAL and others with "numkeys", since COMMAND INFO returns no useful info for them.
For cluster-aware redis clients, this requires to 'patch' the client library code specifically for each of these commands or to
resolve each execution of these commands with COMMAND GETKEYS.
The solution:
Introducing key specs other than the legacy "range" (first,last,step)
The 8th element of the command info array, if exists, holds an array of key specs. The array may be empty, which indicates
the command doesn't take any key arguments or may contain one or more key-specs, each one may leads to the discovery
of 0 or more key arguments.
A client library that doesn't support this key-spec feature will keep using the first,last,step and movablekeys flag which will
obviously remain unchanged.
A client that supports this key-specs feature needs only to look at the key-specs array. If it finds an unrecognized spec, it
must resort to using COMMAND GETKEYS if it wishes to get all key name arguments, but if all it needs is one key in order
to know which cluster node to use, then maybe another spec (if the command has several) can supply that, and there's no
need to use GETKEYS.
Each spec is an array of arguments, first one is the spec name, the second is an array of flags, and the third is an array
containing details about the spec (specific meaning for each spec type)
The initial flags we support are "read" and "write" indicating if the keys that this key-spec finds are used for read or for write.
clients should ignore any unfamiliar flags.
In order to easily find the positions of keys in a given array of args we introduce keys specs. There are two logical steps of
key specs:
1. `start_search`: Given an array of args, indicate where we should start searching for keys
2. `find_keys`: Given the output of start_search and an array of args, indicate all possible indices of keys.
### start_search step specs
- `index`: specify an argument index explicitly
- `index`: 0 based index (1 means the first command argument)
- `keyword`: specify a string to match in `argv`. We should start searching for keys just after the keyword appears.
- `keyword`: the string to search for
- `start_search`: an index from which to start the keyword search (can be negative, which means to search from the end)
Examples:
- `SET` has start_search of type `index` with value `1`
- `XREAD` has start_search of type `keyword` with value `[“STREAMS”,1]`
- `MIGRATE` has start_search of type `keyword` with value `[“KEYS”,-2]`
### find_keys step specs
- `range`: specify `[count, step, limit]`.
- `lastkey`: index of the last key. relative to the index returned from begin_search. -1 indicating till the last argument, -2 one before the last
- `step`: how many args should we skip after finding a key, in order to find the next one
- `limit`: if count is -1, we use limit to stop the search by a factor. 0 and 1 mean no limit. 2 means ½ of the remaining args, 3 means ⅓, and so on.
- “keynum”: specify `[keynum_index, first_key_index, step]`.
- `keynum_index`: is relative to the return of the `start_search` spec.
- `first_key_index`: is relative to `keynum_index`.
- `step`: how many args should we skip after finding a key, in order to find the next one
Examples:
- `SET` has `range` of `[0,1,0]`
- `MSET` has `range` of `[-1,2,0]`
- `XREAD` has `range` of `[-1,1,2]`
- `ZUNION` has `start_search` of type `index` with value `1` and `find_keys` of type `keynum` with value `[0,1,1]`
- `AI.DAGRUN` has `start_search` of type `keyword` with value `[“LOAD“,1]` and `find_keys` of type `keynum` with value
`[0,1,1]` (see https://oss.redislabs.com/redisai/master/commands/#aidagrun)
Note: this solution is not perfect as the module writers can come up with anything, but at least we will be able to find the key
args of the vast majority of commands.
If one of the above specs can’t describe the key positions, the module writer can always fall back to the `getkeys-api` option.
Some keys cannot be found easily (`KEYS` in `MIGRATE`: Imagine the argument for `AUTH` is the string “KEYS” - we will
start searching in the wrong index).
The guarantee is that the specs may be incomplete (`incomplete` will be specified in the spec to denote that) but we never
report false information (assuming the command syntax is correct).
For `MIGRATE` we start searching from the end - `startfrom=-1` - and if one of the keys is actually called "keys" we will
report only a subset of all keys - hence the `incomplete` flag.
Some `incomplete` specs can be completely empty (i.e. UNKNOWN begin_search) which should tell the client that
COMMAND GETKEYS (or any other way to get the keys) must be used (Example: For `SORT` there is no way to describe
the STORE keyword spec, as the word "store" can appear anywhere in the command).
We will expose these key specs in the `COMMAND` command so that clients can learn, on startup, where the keys are for
all commands instead of holding hardcoded tables or use `COMMAND GETKEYS` in runtime.
Comments:
1. Redis doesn't internally use the new specs, they are only used for COMMAND output.
2. In order to support the current COMMAND INFO format (reply array indices 4, 5, 6) we created a synthetic range, called
legacy_range, that, if possible, is built according to the new specs.
3. Redis currently uses only getkeys_proc or the legacy_range to get the keys indices (in COMMAND GETKEYS for
example).
"incomplete" specs:
the command we have issues with are MIGRATE, STRALGO, and SORT
for MIGRATE, because the token KEYS, if exists, must be the last token, we can search in reverse. it one of the keys is
actually the string "keys" will return just a subset of the keys (hence, it's "incomplete")
for SORT and STRALGO we can use this heuristic (the keys can be anywhere in the command) and therefore we added a
key spec that is both "incomplete" and of "unknown type"
if a client encounters an "incomplete" spec it means that it must find a different way (either COMMAND GETKEYS or have
its own parser) to retrieve the keys.
please note that all commands, apart from the three mentioned above, have "complete" key specs
List functions operating on elements by index:
* RM_ListGet
* RM_ListSet
* RM_ListInsert
* RM_ListDelete
Iteration is done using a simple for loop over indices.
The index based functions use an internal iterator as an optimization.
This is explained in the docs:
```
* Many of the list functions access elements by index. Since a list is in
* essence a doubly-linked list, accessing elements by index is generally an
* O(N) operation. However, if elements are accessed sequentially or with
* indices close together, the functions are optimized to seek the index from
* the previous index, rather than seeking from the ends of the list.
*
* This enables iteration to be done efficiently using a simple for loop:
*
* long n = RM_ValueLength(key);
* for (long i = 0; i < n; i++) {
* RedisModuleString *elem = RedisModule_ListGet(key, i);
* // Do stuff...
* }
```
Make bitpos/bitcount support bit index:
```
BITPOS key bit [start [end [BIT|BYTE]]]
BITCOUNT key [start end [BIT|BYTE]]
```
The default behavior is `BYTE`, so these commands are still compatible with old.
