Part three of implementing #8702, following #8887 and #9366 .
## Description of the feature
1. Replace the ziplist container of quicklist with listpack.
2. Convert existing quicklist ziplists on RDB loading time. an O(n) operation.
## Interface changes
1. New `list-max-listpack-size` config is an alias for `list-max-ziplist-size`.
2. Replace `debug ziplist` command with `debug listpack`.
## Internal changes
1. Add `lpMerge` to merge two listpacks . (same as `ziplistMerge`)
2. Add `lpRepr` to print info of listpack which is used in debugCommand and `quicklistRepr`. (same as `ziplistRepr`)
3. Replace `QUICKLIST_NODE_CONTAINER_ZIPLIST` with `QUICKLIST_NODE_CONTAINER_PACKED`(following #9357 ).
It represent that a quicklistNode is a packed node, as opposed to a plain node.
4. Remove `createZiplistObject` method, which is never used.
5. Calculate listpack entry size using overhead overestimation in `quicklistAllowInsert`.
We prefer an overestimation, which would at worse lead to a few bytes below the lowest limit of 4k.
## Improvements
1. Calling `lpShrinkToFit` after converting Ziplist to listpack, which was missed at #9366.
2. Optimize `quicklistAppendPlainNode` to avoid memcpy data.
## Bugfix
1. Fix crash in `quicklistRepr` when ziplist is compressed, introduced from #9366.
## Test
1. Add unittest for `lpMerge`.
2. Modify the old quicklist ziplist corrupt dump test.

In #9323, when `repl-diskless-load` is enabled and set to `swapdb`,
if the master replication ID hasn't changed, we can load data-set
asynchronously, and serving read commands during the full resync.
In `diskless loading short read` test, after a loading successfully,
we will wait for the loading to stop and continue the for loop.
After the introduction of `async_loading`, we also need to check it.
Otherwise the next loop will start too soon, may trigger a timing issue.
Issue found by corrupt-dump-fuzzer test with ASAN.
The problem was that lpSkip and lpGetWithSize could read the next listpack entry without validating that it's in range.
Similarly even the memcmp in lpFind could do that and possibly crash on segfault and now they'll crash on assert first.
The naive fix of using lpAssertValidEntry every time, resulted in 30% degradation in the lpFind benchmark of the unit test.
The final fix with the condition at the bottom has no performance implications.
TCL8.5 can't handle cases where part of the string is escaped and part of it isn't,
if there's a single char that needs escaping, we need to escape the whole string.
Leak found by the corrupt-dump-fuzzer when using GCC ASAN, which seems
to falsely report leaks on pointers kept only on the stack when calling exit.
Instead we now use _exit on panic / assert to skip these leak checks.
Additionally, check for sanitizer warnings in the corrupt-dump-fuzzer between iterations,
so that when something is found we know which test to relate it too (and it prints reproduction command list)
LCS can allocate immense amount of memory (sizes of two inputs multiplied by each other).
In the past this caused some possible security issues due to overflows, which we solved
and also added use of `trymalloc` to return "Insufficient memory" instead of OOM panic zmalloc.
But in case overcommit is enabled, it could be that we won't get the OOM panic, and zmalloc
will succeed, and then we can get OOM killed by the kernel.
The solution here is to prevent LCS from allocating transient memory that's bigger than
`proto-max-bulk-len` config.
This config is not directly related to transient memory, but using a hard coded value ad well as
introducing a specific config seems wrong.
This comes to solve an error in the corrupt-dump-fuzzer test that started in the daily CI see #9799
- Added sanitizer support. `address`, `undefined` and `thread` sanitizers are available.
- To build Redis with desired sanitizer : `make SANITIZER=undefined`
- There were some sanitizer findings, cleaned up codebase
- Added tests with address and undefined behavior sanitizers to daily CI.
- Added tests with address sanitizer to the per-PR CI (smoke out mem leaks sooner).
Basically, there are three types of issues :
**1- Unaligned load/store** : Most probably, this issue may cause a crash on a platform that
does not support unaligned access. Redis does unaligned access only on supported platforms.
**2- Signed integer overflow.** Although, signed overflow issue can be problematic time to time
and change how compiler generates code, current findings mostly about signed shift or simple
addition overflow. For most platforms Redis can be compiled for, this wouldn't cause any issue
as far as I can tell (checked generated code on godbolt.org).
**3 -Minor leak** (redis-cli), **use-after-free**(just before calling exit());
UB means nothing guaranteed and risky to reason about program behavior but I don't think any
of the fixes here worth backporting. As sanitizers are now part of the CI, preventing new issues
will be the real benefit.
First, avoid using --accurate on the freebsd CI, we only care about
systematic issues there due to being different platform, but not
accuracy
Secondly, when looking at the test which timed out it seems silly and
outdated:
- it used KEYS to attempt to trigger lazy expiry, but KEYS doesn't do
that anymore.
- it used some hard coded sleeps rather than waiting for things to
happen and exiting ASAP
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).

When repl-diskless-load is enabled, the connection is set to the blocking state.
The connection may be interrupted by a signal during a system call.
This would have resulted in a disconnection and possibly a reconnection loop.

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)

So it looks like sampling set loglines [count_log_lines -2] was
executed too late, and the replication managed to complete before that.
```
*** [err]: diskless no replicas drop during rdb pipe in tests/integration/replication.tcl
log message of '"*Diskless rdb transfer, done reading from pipe, 2 replicas still up*"' not found in ./tests/tmp/server.6124.69/stdout after line: 52 till line: 52
```
Changes:
1. when we search the master log file, we start to search from before we sent the REPLICAOF
command, to prevent a race in which the replication completed before we sampled the log line count.
2. we don't need to sample the replica loglines sine it's a fresh resplica that's just been started, so the message
we're looking for is the first occurrence in the log, we can start search from 0.

Test failed on freebsd:
```
*** [err]: Make the old master a replica of the new one and check conditions in tests/integration/psync2-pingoff.tcl
Expected '162' to be equal to '176' (context: type eval line 18 cmd {assert_equal [status $R(0) master_repl_offset] [status $R(1) master_repl_offset]} proc ::test)
```
There are two possible race conditions in the test.
1. The code waits for sync_full to increment, and assumes that means the
master did the fork. But in fact there are cases the master will increment
that sync_full counter (after replica asks for sync), but will see that
there's already a fork running and will delay the fork creation.
In this case the INCR will be executed before the fork happens, so it'll
not be in the command stream. Solve that by waiting for `master_link_status: up`
on the replica before the INCR.
2. The repl-ping-replica-period is still high (1 second), so there's a chance the
master will send an additional PING between the two calls to INFO (the line that
fails is the one that samples INFO from both servers). So there's a chance one of
them will have an incremented offset due to PING and the other won't have it yet.
In theory we can wait for the repl_offset to match, but then we risk facing a
situation where that race will hide an offset mis-match. so instead, i think we
should just change repl-ping-replica-period to prevent further pings from being pushed.

Add timestamp annotation in AOF, one part of #9325.
Enabled with the new `aof-timestamp-enabled` config option.
Timestamp annotation format is "#TS:${timestamp}\r\n"."
TS" is short of timestamp and this method could save extra bytes in AOF.
We can use timestamp annotation for some special functions.
- know the executing time of commands
- restore data to a specific point-in-time (by using redis-check-rdb to truncate the file)
## 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.
in the past few days i've seen two failures in the valgrind daily test.
*** [err]: slave fails full sync and diskless load swapdb recovers it in tests/integration/replication.tcl
Replica didn't get into loading mode
can't reproduce it, but i'm hoping it's just too slow (to start loading within 5 seconds)
Since we measure the COW size in this test by changing some keys and reading
the reported COW size, we need to ensure that the "dismiss mechanism" (#8974)
will not free memory and reduce the COW size.
For that, this commit changes the size of the keys to 512B (less than a page).
and because some keys may fall into the same page, we are modifying ten keys
on each iteration and check for at least 50% change in the COW size.
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
```
- Add `-u <uri>` command line option to support `redis://` URI scheme.
- included server connection information object (`struct cliConnInfo`),
used to describe an ip:port pair, db num user input, and user:pass to
avoid a large number of function arguments.
- Using sds on connection info strings for redis-benchmark/redis-cli

The main idea is how to allow a master to load replication info from RDB file when rebooting, if master can load replication info it means that replicas may have the chance to psync with master, it can save much traffic.
The key point is we need guarantee safety and consistency, so there
are two differences between master and replica:
1. master would load the replication info as secondary ID and
offset, in case other masters have the same replid.
2. when master loading RDB, it would propagate expired keys as DEL
command to replication backlog, then replica can receive these
commands to delete stale keys.
p.s. the expired keys when RDB loading is useful for users, so
we show it as `rdb_last_load_keys_expired` and `rdb_last_load_keys_loaded` in info persistence.
Moreover, after load replication info, master should update
`no_replica_time` in case loading RDB cost too long time.
Part two of implementing #8702 (zset), after #8887.
## Description of the feature
Replaced all uses of ziplist with listpack in t_zset, and optimized some of the code to optimize performance.
## Rdb format changes
New `RDB_TYPE_ZSET_LISTPACK` rdb type.
## Rdb loading improvements:
1) Pre-expansion of dict for validation of duplicate data for listpack and ziplist.
2) Simplifying the release of empty key objects when RDB loading.
3) Unify ziplist and listpack data verify methods for zset and hash, and move code to rdb.c.
## Interface changes
1) New `zset-max-listpack-entries` config is an alias for `zset-max-ziplist-entries` (same with `zset-max-listpack-value`).
2) OBJECT ENCODING will return listpack instead of ziplist.
## Listpack improvements:
1) Add `lpDeleteRange` and `lpDeleteRangeWithEntry` functions to delete a range of entries from listpack.
2) Improve the performance of `lpCompare`, converting from string to integer is faster than converting from integer to string.
3) Replace `snprintf` with `ll2string` to improve performance in converting numbers to strings in `lpGet()`.
## Zset improvements:
1) Improve the performance of `zzlFind` method, use `lpFind` instead of `lpCompare` in a loop.
2) Use `lpDeleteRangeWithEntry` instead of `lpDelete` twice to delete a element of zset.
## Tests
1) Add some unittests for `lpDeleteRange` and `lpDeleteRangeWithEntry` function.
2) Add zset RDB loading test.
3) Add benchmark test for `lpCompare` and `ziplsitCompare`.
4) Add empty listpack zset corrupt dump test.
We want to add COUNT option for BLPOP.
But we can't do it without breaking compatibility due to the command arguments syntax.
So this commit introduce two new commands.
Syntax for the new LMPOP command:
`LMPOP numkeys [<key> ...] LEFT|RIGHT [COUNT count]`
Syntax for the new BLMPOP command:
`BLMPOP timeout numkeys [<key> ...] LEFT|RIGHT [COUNT count]`
Some background:
- LPOP takes one key, and can return multiple elements.
- BLPOP takes multiple keys, but returns one element from just one key.
- LMPOP can take multiple keys and return multiple elements from just one key.
Note that LMPOP/BLMPOP can take multiple keys, it eventually operates on just one key.
And it will propagate as LPOP or RPOP with the COUNT option.
As a new command, it still return NIL if we can't pop any elements.
For the normal response is nested arrays in RESP2 and RESP3, like:
```
LMPOP/BLMPOP
1) keyname
2) 1) element1
2) element2
```
I.e. unlike BLPOP that returns a key name and one element so it uses a flat array,
and LPOP that returns multiple elements with no key name, and again uses a flat array,
this one has to return a nested array, and it does for for both RESP2 and RESP3 (like SCAN does)
Some discuss can see: #766#8824
* Delay to discard cache master when full synchronization
* Don't disconnect with replicas before loading transferred RDB when full sync
Previously, once replica need to start full synchronization with master,
it will discard cached master whatever full synchronization is failed or
not.
Now we discard cached master only when transferring RDB is finished
and start to change data space, this make replica could start partial
resynchronization with another new master if new master is failed
during full synchronization.
Until now, giving a negative index seeks from the end of a list and a
positive seeks from the beginning. This change makes it seek from
the nearest end, regardless of the sign of the given index.
quicklistIndex is used by all list commands which operate by index.
LINDEX key 999999 in a list if 1M elements is greately optimized by
this change. Latency is cut by 75%.
LINDEX key -1000000 in a list of 1M elements, likewise.
LRANGE key -1 -1 is affected by this, since LRANGE converts the
indices to positive numbers before seeking.
The tests for corrupt dumps are updated to make sure the corrup
data is seeked in the same direction as before.
1. The output of --help:
* On the Usage line, just write [OPTIONS] [COMMAND ARGS...] instead listing
only a few arbitrary options and no command.
* For --cluster, describe that if the command is supplied on the command line,
the key must contain "{tag}". Otherwise, the command will not be sent to the
right cluster node.
* For -r, add a note that if -r is omitted, all commands in a benchmark will
use the same key. Also align the description.
* For -t, describe that -t is ignored if a command is supplied on the command
line.
2. Print a warning if -t is present when a specific command is supplied.
3. Print all warnings and errors to stderr.
4. Remove -e from calls in redis-benchmark test suite.
We only run OOM related tests on x86_64 and aarch64, as jemalloc on other
platforms (notably s390x) may actually succeed very large allocations. As
a result the test may hang for a very long time at the cleanup phase,
iterating as many as 2^61 hash table slots.
Part one of implementing #8702 (taking hashes first before other types)
## Description of the feature
1. Change ziplist encoded hash objects to listpack encoding.
2. Convert existing ziplists on RDB loading time. an O(n) operation.
## Rdb format changes
1. Add RDB_TYPE_HASH_LISTPACK rdb type.
2. Bump RDB_VERSION to 10
## Interface changes
1. New `hash-max-listpack-entries` config is an alias for `hash-max-ziplist-entries` (same with `hash-max-listpack-value`)
2. OBJECT ENCODING will return `listpack` instead of `ziplist`
## Listpack improvements:
1. Support direct insert, replace integer element (rather than convert back and forth from string)
3. Add more listpack capabilities to match the ziplist ones (like `lpFind`, `lpRandomPairs` and such)
4. Optimize element length fetching, avoid multiple calculations
5. Use inline to avoid function call overhead.
## Tests
1. Add a new test to the RDB load time conversion
2. Adding the listpack unit tests. (based on the one in ziplist.c)
3. Add a few "corrupt payload: fuzzer findings" tests, and slightly modify existing ones.

This commit mainly fixes empty keys due to RDB loading and restore command,
which was omitted in #9297.
1) When loading quicklsit, if all the ziplists in the quicklist are empty, NULL will be returned.
If only some of the ziplists are empty, then we will skip the empty ziplists silently.
2) When loading hash zipmap, if zipmap is empty, sanitization check will fail.
3) When loading hash ziplist, if ziplist is empty, NULL will be returned.
4) Add RDB loading test with sanitize.
Replication client no longer checks incoming command length against the client-query-buffer-limit. This makes the master able to replicate commands longer than replica's configured client-query-buffer-limit
The execution of the RPOPLPUSH command by the fuzzer created junk keys,
that were later being selected by RANDOMKEY and modified.
This also meant that lists were statistically tested more than other
files.
Fix the fuzzer not to pass junk key names to RPOPLPUSH, and add a check
that detects that new keys are not added by the fuzzer to detect future
similar issues.
Recently we found two issues in the fuzzer tester: #9302#9285
After fixing them, more problems surfaced and this PR (as well as #9297) aims to fix them.
Here's a list of the fixes
- Prevent an overflow when allocating a dict hashtable
- Prevent OOM when attempting to allocate a huge string
- Prevent a few invalid accesses in listpack
- Improve sanitization of listpack first entry
- Validate integrity of stream consumer groups PEL
- Validate integrity of stream listpack entry IDs
- Validate ziplist tail followed by extra data which start with 0xff

When we load rdb or restore command, if we encounter a length of 0, it will result in the creation of an empty key.
This could either be a corrupt payload, or a result of a bug (see #8453 )
This PR mainly fixes the following:
1) When restore command will return `Bad data format` error.
2) When loading RDB, we will silently discard the key.

The psync2 test has failed several times recently.
In #9159 we only solved half of the problem.
i.e. reordering of the replica that's already connected to
the newly promoted master.
Consider this scenario:
0 slaveof 2
1 slaveof 2
3 slaveof 2
4 slaveof 1
0 slaveof no one, became a new master got a new replid
2 slaveof 0, partial resync and got the new replid
3 reconnect 2, inherit the new replid
3 slaveof 4, use the new replid and got a full resync
And another scenario:
1 slaveof 3
2 slaveof 4
3 slaveof 0
4 slaveof 0
4 slaveof no one, became a new master got a new replid
2 reconnect 4, inherit the new replid
2 slaveof 1, use the new replid and got a full resync
So maybe we should reattach replicas in the right order.
i.e. In the above example, if it would have reattached 1, 3 and 0 to
the new chain formed by 4 before trying to attach 2 to 1, it would succeed.
This commit break the SLAVEOF loop into two loops. (ideas from oran)
First loop that uses random to decide who replicates from who.
Second loop that does the actual SLAVEOF command.
In the second loop, we make sure to execute it in the right order,
and after each SLAVEOF, wait for it to be connected before we proceed.

## Backgroud
As we know, after `fork`, one process will copy pages when writing data to these
pages(CoW), and another process still keep old pages, they totally cost more memory.
For redis, we suffered that redis consumed much memory when the fork child is serializing
key/values, even that maybe cause OOM.
But actually we find, in redis fork child process, the child process don't need to keep some
memory and parent process may write or update that, for example, child process will never
access the key-value that is serialized but users may update it in parent process.
So we think it may reduce COW if the child process release memory that it is not needed.
## Implementation
For releasing key value in child process, we may think we call `decrRefCount` to free memory,
but i find the fork child process still use much memory when we don't write any data to redis,
and it costs much more time that slows down bgsave. Maybe because memory allocator doesn't
really release memory to OS, and it may modify some inner data for this free operation, especially
when we free small objects.
Moreover, CoW is based on pages, so it is a easy way that we only free the memory bulk that is
not less than kernel page size. madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) can quickly release specified region
pages to OS bypassing memory allocator, and allocator still consider that this memory still is used
and don't change its inner data.
There are some buffers we can release in the fork child process:
- **Serialized key-values**
the fork child process never access serialized key-values, so we try to free them.
Because we only can release big bulk memory, and it is time consumed to iterate all
items/members/fields/entries of complex data type. So we decide to iterate them and
try to release them only when their average size of item/member/field/entry is more
than page size of OS.
- **Replication backlog**
Because replication backlog is a cycle buffer, it will be changed quickly if redis has heavy
write traffic, but in fork child process, we don't need to access that.
- **Client buffers**
If clients have requests during having the fork child process, clients' buffer also be changed
frequently. The memory includes client query buffer, output buffer, and client struct used memory.
To get child process peak private dirty memory, we need to count peak memory instead
of last used memory, because the child process may continue to release memory (since
COW used to only grow till now, the last was equivalent to the peak).
Also we're adding a new `current_cow_peak` info variable (to complement the existing
`current_cow_size`)

When redis-cli received ASK, it used string matching wrong and didn't
handle it.
When we access a slot which is in migrating state, it maybe
return ASK. After redirect to the new node, we need send ASKING
command before retry the command. In this PR after redis-cli receives
ASK, we send a ASKING command before send the origin command
after reconnecting.
Other changes:
* Make redis-cli -u and -c (unix socket and cluster mode) incompatible
with one another.
* When send command fails, we avoid the 2nd reconnect retry and just
print the error info. Users will decide how to do next.
See #9277.
* Add a test faking two redis nodes in TCL to just send ASK and OK in
redis protocol to test ASK behavior.

In some cases large replies on slow systems may only be partially read
by the test suite, resulting with parsing errors.
This fix is still timing sensitive but should greatly reduce the chances
of this happening.
1. redis-cli can output --rdb data to stdout
but redis-cli also write some messages to stdout which will mess up the rdb.
2. Make redis-cli flush stdout when printing a reply
This was needed in order to fix a hung in redis-cli test that uses
--replica.
Note that printf does flush when there's a newline, but fwrite does not.
3. fix the redis-cli --replica test which used to pass previously
because it didn't really care what it read, and because redis-cli
used printf to print these other things to stdout.
4. improve redis-cli --replica test to run with both diskless and disk-based.

*** [err]: PSYNC2: total sum of full synchronizations is exactly 4 intests/integration/psync2.tcl
Expected 5 == 4 (context: type eval line 8 cmd {assert {$sum == 4}} proc::test)
Sometime the test got an unexpected full sync since a replica switch to master,
before the new master change propagated the new replid to all replicas,
a replica attempted to sync with it using a wrong replid and triggered a full resync.
Consider this scenario:
1 slaveof 4 full resync
0 slaveof 4 full resync
2 slaveof 0 full resync
3 slaveof 1 full resync
1 slaveof no one, replid changed
3 reconnect 1, did a partial resyn and got the new replid
Before 2 inherits the new replid.
3 slaveof 2
3 try to do a partial resyn with 2.
But their replication ids are inconsistent, so a full resync happens.
:) A special thank you for oran and helping me in this test case.

# replication-3.tcl
had a test timeout failure with valgrind on daily CI:
```
*** [err]: SLAVE can reload "lua" AUX RDB fields of duplicated scripts in tests/integration/replication-3.tcl
Replication not started.
```
replication took more than 70 seconds.
https://github.com/redis/redis/runs/2854037905?check_suite_focus=true
on my machine it takes only about 30, but i can see how 50 seconds isn't enough.
# replication.tcl
loading was over too quickly in freebsd daily CI:
```
*** [err]: slave fails full sync and diskless load swapdb recovers it in tests/integration/replication.tcl
Expected '0' to be equal to '1' (context: type eval line 44 cmd {assert_equal [s -1 loading] 1} proc ::start_server)
```
# rdb.tcl
loading was over too quickly.
increase the time loading takes, and decrease the amount of work we try to achieve in that time.
Today when we load the AOF on startup, the loadAppendOnlyFile checks if
the file is openning for reading.
This check is redundent (dead code) as we open the AOF file for writing at initServer,
and the file will always be existing for the loadAppendOnlyFile.
In this commit:
- remove all the exit(1) from loadAppendOnlyFile, as it is the caller
responsibility to decide what to do in case of failure.
- move the opening of the AOF file for writing, to be after we loading it.
- avoid return -ERR in DEBUG LOADAOF, when the AOF is existing but empty
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`
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.
Till now, on replica full-sync we used to transfer absolute time for TTL,
however when a command arrived (EXPIRE or EXPIREAT),
we used to propagate it as is to replicas (possibly with relative time),
but always translate it to EXPIREAT (absolute time) to AOF.
This commit changes that and will always use absolute time for propagation.
see discussion in #8433
Furthermore, we Introduce new commands: `EXPIRETIME/PEXPIRETIME`
that allow extracting the absolute TTL time from a key.
In diskless replication, we create a read pipe for the RDB, between the child and the parent.
When we close this pipe (fd), the read handler also needs to be removed from the event loop (if it still registered).
Otherwise, next time we will use the same fd, the registration will be fail (panic), because
we will use EPOLL_CTL_MOD (the fd still register in the event loop), on fd that already removed from epoll_ctl
When test stop 'load handler' by killing the process that generating the load,
some commands that already in the input buffer, still might be processed by the server.
This may cause some instability in tests, that count on that no more commands
processed after we stop the `load handler'
In this commit, new proc 'wait_load_handlers_disconnected' added, to verify that no more
cammands from any 'load handler' prossesed, by checking that the clients who
genreate the load is disconnceted.
Also, replacing check of dbsize with wait_for_ofs_sync before comparing debug digest, as
it would fail in case the last key the workload wrote was an overridden key (not a new one).
Affected tests
Race fix:
- failover command to specific replica works
- Connect multiple replicas at the same time (issue #141), master diskless=$mdl, replica diskless=$sdl
- AOF rewrite during write load: RDB preamble=$rdbpre
Cleanup and speedup:
- Test replication with blocking lists and sorted sets operations
- Test replication with parallel clients writing in different DBs
- Test replication partial resync: $descr (diskless: $mdl, $sdl, reconnect: $reconnect
In github actions CI with valgrind, i saw that even the fast replica
(one that wasn't paused), didn't get to complete the replication fast
enough, and ended up getting disconnected by timeout.
Additionally, due to a typo in uname, we didn't get to actually run the
CPU efficiency part of the test.
Starting redis 6.0 (part of the TLS feature), diskless master uses pipe from the fork
child so that the parent is the one sending data to the replicas.
This mechanism has an issue in which a hung replica will cause the master to wait
for it to read the data sent to it forever, thus preventing the fork child from terminating
and preventing the creations of any other forks.
This PR adds a timeout mechanism, much like the ACK-based timeout,
we disconnect replicas that aren't reading the RDB file fast enough.
Another test race condition in the macos tests.
the test was waiting for PINGs to be generated and put on the replication stream,
but waiting for 1 or 2 seconds doesn't really guarantee that.
then the test that expected 6 full syncs, found only 4
the corrupt-dump-fuzzer test found a case where an access to a corrupt
stream would have caused accessing to uninitialized memory.
now it'll panic instead.
The issue was that there was a stream that says it has more than 0
records, but looking for the max ID came back empty handed.
p.s. when sanitize-dump-payload is used, this corruption is detected,
and the RESTORE command is gracefully rejected.
Since redis 6.2, redis immediately tries to connect to the master, not
waiting for replication cron.
in the slow freebsd CI, this test failed and master_link_status was
already "up" when INFO was called.
* The `redis-cli --scan` output should honor output mode (set explicitly or implicitly), and quote key names when not in raw mode.
* Technically this is a breaking change, but it should be very minor since raw mode is by default on for non-tty output.
* It should only affect TTY output (human users) or non-tty output if `--no-raw` is specified.
* Added `--quoted-input` option to treat all arguments as potentially quoted strings.
* Added `--quoted-pattern` option to accept a potentially quoted pattern.
Unquoting is applied to potentially quoted input only if single or double quotes are used.
Fixes#8561, #8563
When sanitizing the stream listpack, we need to count the deleted records too.
otherwise the last line that checks the next pointer fails.
Add test to cover that state in the stream tests.
* Remove linux/version.h dependency.
This introduces unnecessary dependencies, and generally not a good idea
as the platform we build on may be different than the platform we run
on.
To determine if sync_file_range exists we can simply rely on header file
hints.
* Fix setproctitle() on libmusl.
The previous ifdef checks were a bit too strict for no apparent
reason.
* Fix tests failure on Linux with no backtrace.
* Add alpine daily CI job.
* Adding current_save_keys_total and current_save_keys_processed info fields.
Present in replication, BGSAVE and AOFRW.
* Changing RM_SendChildCOWInfo() to RM_SendChildHeartbeat(double progress)
* Adding new info field current_fork_perc. Present in Replication, BGSAVE, AOFRW,
and module forks.
* 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.
* The corrupt dump fuzzer found a division by zero.
* in some cases the random fields from the HRANDFIELD tests produced
fields with newlines and other special chars (due to \ char), this caused
the TCL tests to see a bulk response that has a newline in it and add {}
around it, later it can think this is a nested list. in fact the `alpha` random
string generator isn't using spaces and newlines, so it should not use `\`
either.
This commit introduces two new command and two options for an existing command
GETEX <key> [PERSIST][EX seconds][PX milliseconds] [EXAT seconds-timestamp]
[PXAT milliseconds-timestamp]
The getexCommand() function implements extended options and variants of the GET
command. Unlike GET command this command is not read-only. Only one of the options
can be used at a given time.
1. PERSIST removes any TTL associated with the key.
2. EX Set expiry TTL in seconds.
3. PX Set expiry TTL in milliseconds.
4. EXAT Same like EX instead of specifying the number of seconds representing the
TTL (time to live), it takes an absolute Unix timestamp
5. PXAT Same like PX instead of specifying the number of milliseconds representing the
TTL (time to live), it takes an absolute Unix timestamp
Command would return either the bulk string, error or nil.
GETDEL <key>
Would delete the key after getting.
SET key value [NX] [XX] [KEEPTTL] [GET] [EX <seconds>] [PX <milliseconds>]
[EXAT <seconds-timestamp>][PXAT <milliseconds-timestamp>]
Two new options added here are EXAT and PXAT
Key implementation notes
- `SET` with `PX/EX/EXAT/PXAT` is always translated to `PXAT` in `AOF`. When relative time is
specified (`PX/EX`), replication will always use `PX`.
- `setexCommand` and `psetexCommand` would no longer need translation in `feedAppendOnlyFile`
as they are modified to invoke `setGenericCommand ` with appropriate flags which will take care of
correct AOF translation.
- `GETEX` without any optional argument behaves like `GET`.
- `GETEX` command is never propagated, It is either propagated as `PEXPIRE[AT], or PERSIST`.
- `GETDEL` command is propagated as `DEL`
- Combined the validation for `SET` and `GETEX` arguments.
- Test cases to validate AOF/Replication propagation
This adds basic coverage to IO threads by running the cluster and few selected Redis test suite tests with the IO threads enabled.
Also provides some necessary additional improvements to the test suite:
* Add --config to sentinel/cluster tests for arbitrary configuration.
* Fix --tags whitelisting which was broken.
* Add a `network` tag to some tests that are more network intensive. This is work in progress and more tests should be properly tagged in the future.
- the last COW report wasn't always read from the pipe
(receiveLastChildInfo wasn't used)
- but in fact, there's no reason we won't always try to drain that pipe
so i'm unifying receiveLastChildInfo with receiveChildInfo
- adjust threshold of the COW test when run in accurate mode
- add some prints in case this test fails again
- fix indentation, page size, and PID! in MacOS proc info
p.s. it seems that pri_pages_dirtied is always 0
Add INFO field, rdb_active_cow_size, to report COW of a live fork child while
it's active.
- once in 1024 keys check the time, and if there's more than one second since
the last report send a report to the parent via the pipe.
- refactor the child_info_data struct, it's an implementation detail that
shouldn't be in the server struct, and not used to communicate data between
caller and callee
- remove the magic value from that struct (not sure what it was good for), and
instead add handling of short reads.
- add another value to the structure, cow_type, to indicate if the report is
for the new rdb_active_cow_size field, or it's the last report of a
successful operation
- add new Module API to report the active COW
- add more asserts variants to test.tcl
If RESTORE passes successfully with full sanitization, we can't affort
to crash later on assertion due to duplicate records in a hash when
converting it form ziplist to dict.
This means that when doing full sanitization, we must make sure there
are no duplicate records in any of the collections.
The test creates keys with various encodings, DUMP them, corrupt the payload
and RESTORES it.
It utilizes the recently added use-exit-on-panic config to distinguish between
asserts and segfaults.
If the restore succeeds, it runs random commands on the key to attempt to
trigger a crash.
It runs in two modes, one with deep sanitation enabled and one without.
In the first one we don't expect any assertions or segfaults, in the second one
we expect assertions, but no segfaults.
We also check for leaks and invalid reads using valgrind, and if we find them
we print the commands that lead to that issue.
Changes in the code (other than the test):
- Replace a few NPD (null pointer deference) flows and division by zero with an
assertion, so that it doesn't fail the test. (since we set the server to use
`exit` rather than `abort` on assertion).
- Fix quite a lot of flows in rdb.c that could have lead to memory leaks in
RESTORE command (since it now responds with an error rather than panic)
- Add a DEBUG flag for SET-SKIP-CHECKSUM-VALIDATION so that the test don't need
to bother with faking a valid checksum
- Remove a pile of code in serverLogObjectDebugInfo which is actually unsafe to
run in the crash report (see comments in the code)
- fix a missing boundary check in lzf_decompress
test suite infra improvements:
- be able to run valgrind checks before the process terminates
- rotate log files when restarting servers
- improve stream rdb encoding test to include more types of stream metadata
- add test to cover various ziplist encoding entries (although it does
look like the stress test above it is able to find some too
- add another test for ziplist encoding for hash with full sanitization
- add similar ziplist encoding tests for list
When loading an encoded payload we will at least do a shallow validation to
check that the size that's encoded in the payload matches the size of the
allocation.
This let's us later use this encoded size to make sure the various offsets
inside encoded payload don't reach outside the allocation, if they do, we'll
assert/panic, but at least we won't segfault or smear memory.
We can also do 'deep' validation which runs on all the records of the encoded
payload and validates that they don't contain invalid offsets. This lets us
detect corruptions early and reject a RESTORE command rather than accepting
it and asserting (crashing) later when accessing that payload via some command.
configuration:
- adding ACL flag skip-sanitize-payload
- adding config sanitize-dump-payload [yes/no/clients]
For now, we don't have a good way to ensure MIGRATE in cluster resharding isn't
being slowed down by these sanitation, so i'm setting the default value to `no`,
but later on it should be set to `clients` by default.
changes:
- changing rdbReportError not to `exit` in RESTORE command
- adding a new stat to be able to later check if cluster MIGRATE isn't being
slowed down by sanitation.
As described in redis-benchamrk help message 'The test names are the same as the ones produced as output.', In redis-benchmark output, we can only see PING_BULK, but the cmd `redis-benchmark -t ping_bulk` is not supported. We have to run it with ping_mbulk which is not user friendly.
The reason that we want to get a full crash report on SIGABRT
is that the jmalloc, when detecting a corruption, calls abort().
This will cause the Redis to exist silently without any report
and without any way to analyze what happened.
- add test suite coverage for redis-benchmark
- add --version (similar to what redis-cli has)
- fix bug sending more requests than intended when pipeline > 1.
- when done sending requests, avoid freeing client in the write handler, in theory before
responses are received (probably dead code since the read handler will call clientDone first)

Adding [B]LMOVE <src> <dst> RIGHT|LEFT RIGHT|LEFT. deprecating [B]RPOPLPUSH.
Note that when receiving a BRPOPLPUSH we'll still propagate an RPOPLPUSH,
but on BLMOVE RIGHT LEFT we'll propagate an LMOVE
improvement to existing tests
- Replace "after 1000" with "wait_for_condition" when wait for
clients to block/unblock.
- Add a pre-existing element to target list on basic tests so
that we can check if the new element was added to the correct
side of the list.
- check command stats on the replica to make sure the right
command was replicated

When all replicas waiting for a bgsave get disconnected (possibly due to output buffer limit),
It may be good to kill the bgsave child. in diskless replication it already happens, but in
disk-based, the child may still serve some purpose (for persistence).
By killing the child, we prevent it from eating COW memory in vain, and we also allow a new child fork sooner for the next full synchronization or bgsave.
We do that only if rdb persistence wasn't enabled in the configuration.
Btw, now, rdbRemoveTempFile in killRDBChild won't block server, so we can killRDBChild safely.
Starting redis 6.0 and the changes we made to the diskless master to be
suitable for TLS, I made the master avoid reaping (wait3) the pid of the
child until we know all replicas are done reading their rdb.
I did that in order to avoid a state where the rdb_child_pid is -1 but
we don't yet want to start another fork (still busy serving that data to
replicas).
It turns out that the solution used so far was problematic in case the
fork child was being killed (e.g. by the kernel OOM killer), in that
case there's a chance that we currently disabled the read event on the
rdb pipe, since we're waiting for a replica to become writable again.
and in that scenario the master would have never realized the child
exited, and the replica will remain hung too.
Note that there's no mechanism to detect a hung replica while it's in
rdb transfer state.
The solution here is to add another pipe which is used by the parent to
tell the child it is safe to exit. this mean that when the child exits,
for whatever reason, it is safe to reap it.
Besides that, i'm re-introducing an adjustment to REPLCONF ACK which was
part of #6271 (Accelerate diskless master connections) but was dropped
when that PR was rebased after the TLS fork/pipe changes (5a47794).
Now that RdbPipeCleanup no longer calls checkChildrenDone, and the ACK
has chance to detect that the child exited, it should be the one to call
it so that we don't have to wait for cron (server.hz) to do that.
