Fix wrong server dirty increment in
* spopWithCountCommand
* hsetCommand
* ltrimCommand

Some didn't increment the amount of fields (just one per command).
Others had excessive increments.
Exposes the main thread CPU info via info modules ( linux specific only )
(used_cpu_sys_main_thread and used_cpu_user_main_thread). This is important for:
- distinguish between main thread and io-threads cpu time total cpu time consumed ( check
what is the first bottleneck on the used config )
- distinguish between main thread and modules threads total cpu time consumed
Apart from it, this commit also exposes the server_time_usec within the Server section so that we can
properly differentiate consecutive collection and calculate for example the CPU% and or / cpu time vs
wall time, etc...
* Allow runtest-moduleapi use a different 'make', for systems where GNU Make is 'gmake'.
* Fix issue with builds on Solaris re-building everything from scratch due to CFLAGS/LDFLAGS not stored.
* Fix compile failure on Solaris due to atomicvar and a bunch of warnings.
* Fix garbled log timestamps on Solaris.
When a replica uses the diskless-load swapdb approach, it backs up the old database,
then attempts to load a new one, and in case of failure, it restores the backup.
this means that modules with global out of keyspace data, must have an option to
subscribe to events and backup/restore/discard their global data too.
Add a new set of defrag functions that take a defrag context and allow
defragmenting memory blocks and RedisModuleStrings.
Modules can register a defrag callback which will be invoked when the
defrag process handles globals.
Modules with custom data types can also register a datatype-specific
defrag callback which is invoked for keys that require defragmentation.
The callback and associated functions support both one-step and
multi-step options, depending on the complexity of the key as exposed by
the free_effort callback.
The pid of the benchmark process is used to randomize the random number generator's
seed. This ensures that when multiple benchmark processes are started at the same time
to generate load on a server, they use different seeds. This will ensure randomness in
the keys generated by different benchmark processes.
Add commands to query geospatial data with bounding box.
Two new commands that replace the existing 4 GEORADIUS* commands.
GEOSEARCH key [FROMMEMBER member] [FROMLOC long lat] [BYRADIUS radius
unit] [BYBOX width height unit] [WITHCORD] [WITHDIST] [WITHASH] [COUNT
count] [ASC|DESC]
GEOSEARCHSTORE dest_key src_key [FROMMEMBER member] [FROMLOC long lat]
[BYRADIUS radius unit] [BYBOX width height unit] [WITHCORD] [WITHDIST]
[WITHASH] [COUNT count] [ASC|DESC] [STOREDIST]
- Add two types of CIRCULAR_TYPE and RECTANGLE_TYPE to achieve different searches

This adds a new `tls-client-cert-file` and `tls-client-key-file`
configuration directives which make it possible to use different
certificates for the TLS-server and TLS-client functions of Redis.
This is an optional directive. If it is not specified the `tls-cert-file`
and `tls-key-file` directives are used for TLS client functions as well.
Also, `utils/gen-test-certs.sh` now creates additional server-only and client-only certs and will skip intensive operations if target files already exist.
This adds a copy callback for module data types, in order to make
modules compatible with the new COPY command.
The callback is optional and COPY will fail for keys with data types
that do not implement it.
Module blocked clients cache the response in a temporary client,
the reply list in this client would be affected by the recent fix
in #7202, but when the reply is later copied into the real client,
it would have bypassed all the checks for output buffer limit, which
would have resulted in both: responding with a partial response to
the client, and also not disconnecting it at all.
Makes spt_init more careful with assumptions about what memory regions
may be overwritten. It will now only consider a contiguous block of argv
and envp elements and mind any gaps.
when the same consumer re-claim an entry that it already has, there's
no need to remove-and-insert if it's the same rax.
we do need to update the idle time though.
this commit only improves efficiency (doesn't change behavior).
* Add CLIENT INFO subcommand.
The output is identical to CLIENT LIST but provides a single line for
the current client only.

First, if the ziplist header is surely inside the ziplist, do fast path
decoding rather than the careful one.
In that case, streamline the encoding if-else chain to be executed only
once, and the encoding validity tested at the end.
encourage inlining
likely / unlikely hints for speculative execution
Assertion used _exit(1) to tell the compiler that the code after them is
not reachable and get rid of warnings.
But in some cases assertions are placed inside tight loops, and any
piece of code in them can slow down execution (code cache and other
reasons), instead using either abort() or better yet, unreachable
builtin.
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
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.
When client tracking is enabled signalModifiedKey can increase memory usage,
this can cause the loop in performEvictions to keep running since it was measuring
the memory usage impact of signalModifiedKey.
The section that measures the memory impact of the eviction should be just on dbDelete,
excluding keyspace notification, client tracking, and propagation to AOF and replicas.
This resolves part of the problem described in #8069
p.s. fix took 1 minute, test took about 3 hours to write.
One way this was happening is when a module issued an RM_Call which would inject MULTI.
If the module command that does that was itself issued by something else that already did
added MULTI (e.g. another module, or a Lua script), it would have caused nested MULTI.
In fact the MULTI state in the client or the MULTI_EMITTED flag in the context isn't
the right indication that we need to propagate MULTI or not, because on a nested calls
(possibly a module action called by a keyspace event of another module action), these
flags aren't retained / reflected.
instead there's now a global propagate_in_transaction flag for that.
in addition to that, we now have a global in_eval and in_exec flags, to serve the flags
of RM_GetContextFlags, since their dependence on the current client is wrong for the same
reasons mentioned above.
As we know, redis may reject user's requests or evict some keys if
used memory is over maxmemory. Dictionaries expanding may make
things worse, some big dictionaries, such as main db and expires dict,
may eat huge memory at once for allocating a new big hash table and be
far more than maxmemory after expanding.
There are related issues: #4213#4583
More details, when expand dict in redis, we will allocate a new big
ht[1] that generally is double of ht[0], The size of ht[1] will be
very big if ht[0] already is big. For db dict, if we have more than
64 million keys, we need to cost 1GB for ht[1] when dict expands.
If the sum of used memory and new hash table of dict needed exceeds
maxmemory, we shouldn't allow the dict to expand. Because, if we
enable keys eviction, we still couldn't add much more keys after
eviction and rehashing, what's worse, redis will keep less keys when
redis only remains a little memory for storing new hash table instead
of users' data. Moreover users can't write data in redis if disable
keys eviction.
What this commit changed ?
Add a new member function expandAllowed for dict type, it provide a way
for caller to allow expand or not. We expose two parameters for this
function: more memory needed for expanding and dict current load factor,
users can implement a function to make a decision by them.
For main db dict and expires dict type, these dictionaries may be very
big and cost huge memory for expanding, so we implement a judgement
function: we can stop dict to expand provisionally if used memory will
be over maxmemory after dict expands, but to guarantee the performance
of redis, we still allow dict to expand if dict load factor exceeds the
safe load factor.
Add test cases to verify we don't allow main db to expand when left
memory is not enough, so that avoid keys eviction.
Other changes:
For new hash table size when expand. Before this commit, the size is
that double used of dict and later _dictNextPower. Actually we aim to
control a dict load factor between 0.5 and 1.0. Now we replace *2 with
+1, since the first check is that used >= size, the outcome of before
will usually be the same as _dictNextPower(used+1). The only case where
it'll differ is when dict_can_resize is false during fork, so that later
the _dictNextPower(used*2) will cause the dict to jump to *4 (i.e.
_dictNextPower(1025*2) will return 4096).
Fix rehash test cases due to changing algorithm of new hash table size
when expand.
In the iterator for these functions, we'll traverse the sorted sets
in a reversed way so that largest elements come first. We prefer
this order because it's optimized for insertion in a skiplist, which
is the destination of the elements being iterated in there functions.
When replica diskless-load type is swapdb in cluster mode, we didn't backup
keys to slots map, so we will lose keys to slots map if fail to sync.
Now we backup keys to slots map at first, and restore it properly when fail.
This commit includes a refactory/cleanup of the backups mechanism (moving it to db.c and re-structuring it a bit).

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.
SELECT used to read the index into a `long` variable, and then pass it to a function
that takes an `int`, possibly causing an overflow before the range check.
Now all these commands use better and cleaner range check, and that also results in
a slight change of the error response in case of an invalid database index.
SELECT:
in the past it would have returned either `-ERR invalid DB index` (if not a number),
or `-ERR DB index is out of range` (if not between 1..16 or alike).
now it'll return either `-ERR value is out of range` (if not a number), or
`-ERR value is out of range, value must between -2147483648 and 2147483647`
(if not in the range for an int), or `-ERR DB index is out of range`
(if not between 0..16 or alike)
MOVE:
in the past it would only fail with `-ERR index out of range` no matter the reason.
now return the same errors as the new ones for SELECT mentioned above.
(i.e. unlike for SELECT even for a value like 17 we changed the error message)
COPY:
doesn't really matter how it behaved in the past (new command), new behavior is
like the above two.
Fixes#7923.
This PR appropriates the special `&` symbol (because `@` and `*` are taken),
followed by a literal value or pattern for describing the Pub/Sub patterns that
an ACL user can interact with. It is similar to the existing key patterns
mechanism in function (additive) and implementation (copy-pasta). It also adds
the allchannels and resetchannels ACL keywords, naturally.
The default user is given allchannels permissions, whereas new users get
whatever is defined by the acl-pubsub-default configuration directive. For
backward compatibility in 6.2, the default of this directive is allchannels but
this is likely to be changed to resetchannels in the next major version for
stronger default security settings.
Unless allchannels is set for the user, channel access permissions are checked
as follows :
* Calls to both PUBLISH and SUBSCRIBE will fail unless a pattern matching the
argumentative channel name(s) exists for the user.
* Calls to PSUBSCRIBE will fail unless the pattern(s) provided as an argument
literally exist(s) in the user's list.
Such failures are logged to the ACL log.
Runtime changes to channel permissions for a user with existing subscribing
clients cause said clients to disconnect unless the new permissions permit the
connections to continue. Note, however, that PSUBSCRIBErs' patterns are matched
literally, so given the change bar:* -> b*, pattern subscribers to bar:* will be
disconnected.
Notes/questions:
* UNSUBSCRIBE, PUNSUBSCRIBE and PUBSUB remain unprotected due to lack of reasons
for touching them.
when performing the and operation, if the output is 0, we can jump out of the loop.
when performing an or operation, if the output is 0xff, we can jump out of the loop.
this metric already includes the argv bytes, like what clientsCronTrackClientsMemUsage does, but it's missing the array itself.
p.s. For the purpose of tracking expensive clients we don't need to include the size of the client struct and the static reply buffer in it.
Seems to have gone unnoticed for a long time, because at least with
glibc it will only be triggered if setenv() was called before spt_init,
which Redis doesn't.
Fixes#8064.
When USE_SYSTEMD=yes is specified, try to use pkg-config to determine
libsystemd linker flags. If not found, silently fall back to simply
using "-lsystemd".
We now use a LIBSYSTEMD_LIBS variable so users can explicitly override
it and specify their own library.
If USE_SYSTEMD is unspecified the old behavior of auto-enabling it if
both pkg-config and libsystemd are available is retained.
If we enable diskless replication, set repl-diskless-sync-delay to 0,
and master has non-rdb child process such as rewrite aof child, master
will try to start to a new BGSAVE but fails immediately (before fork)
when replicas ask for full synchronization, and master always fails
to start a new BGSAVE and disconnects with replicas until non-rdb
child process exists.
this bug was introduced in #6271 (not yet released in 6.0.x)
This is hopefully usually harmles.
The server.ready_keys will usually be empty so the code after releasing
the GIL will soon be done.
The only case where it'll actually process things is when a module
releases a client (or module) blocked on a key, by triggering this NOT
from within a command (e.g. a timer event).
This bug was introduced in redis 6.0.9, see #7903
Fix: When oom-score-adj-values is provided in the config file after
oom-score-adj yes, it'll take an immediate action, before
readOOMScoreAdj was acquired, resulting in an error (out of range score
due to uninitialized value. delay the reaction the real call is made by
main().
Since the values are clamped to -1000..1000, and they're
applied as an offset from the value at startup (which may be -1000), we
need to allow the offsets to reach to +2000 so that a value of +1000 is
achievable in case the value at startup was -1000.
Adding an option for absolute values rather than relative ones.
The bug was introduced by #5021 which only attempted avoid EXIST on an
already expired key from returning 1 on a replica.
Before that commit, dbExists was used instead of
lookupKeyRead (which had an undesired effect to "touch" the LRU/LFU)
Other than that, this commit fixes OBJECT to also come empty handed on
expired keys in replica.
And DEBUG DIGEST-VALUE to behave like DEBUG OBJECT (get the data from
the key regardless of it's expired state)
Blocking command should not be used with MULTI, LUA, and RM_Call. This is because,
the caller, who executes the command in this context, expects a reply.
Today, LUA and MULTI have a special (and different) treatment to blocking commands:
LUA - Most commands are marked with no-script flag which are checked when executing
and command from LUA, commands that are not marked (like XREAD) verify that their
blocking mode is not used inside LUA (by checking the CLIENT_LUA client flag).
MULTI - Command that is going to block, first verify that the client is not inside
multi (by checking the CLIENT_MULTI client flag). If the client is inside multi, they
return a result which is a match to the empty key with no timeout (for example blpop
inside MULTI will act as lpop)
For modules that perform RM_Call with blocking command, the returned results type is
REDISMODULE_REPLY_UNKNOWN and the caller can not really know what happened.
Disadvantages of the current state are:
No unified approach, LUA, MULTI, and RM_Call, each has a different treatment
Module can not safely execute blocking command (and get reply or error).
Though It is true that modules are not like LUA or MULTI and should be smarter not
to execute blocking commands on RM_Call, sometimes you want to execute a command base
on client input (for example if you create a module that provides a new scripting
language like javascript or python).
While modules (on modules command) can check for REDISMODULE_CTX_FLAGS_LUA or
REDISMODULE_CTX_FLAGS_MULTI to know not to block the client, there is no way to
check if the command came from another module using RM_Call. So there is no way
for a module to know not to block another module RM_Call execution.
This commit adds a way to unify the treatment for blocking clients by introducing
a new CLIENT_DENY_BLOCKING client flag. On LUA, MULTI, and RM_Call the new flag
turned on to signify that the client should not be blocked. A blocking command
verifies that the flag is turned off before blocking. If a blocking command sees
that the CLIENT_DENY_BLOCKING flag is on, it's not blocking and return results
which are matches to empty key with no timeout (as MULTI does today).
The new flag is checked on the following commands:
List blocking commands: BLPOP, BRPOP, BRPOPLPUSH, BLMOVE,
Zset blocking commands: BZPOPMIN, BZPOPMAX
Stream blocking commands: XREAD, XREADGROUP
SUBSCRIBE, PSUBSCRIBE, MONITOR
In addition, the new flag is turned on inside the AOF client, we do not want to
block the AOF client to prevent deadlocks and commands ordering issues (and there
is also an existing assert in the code that verifies it).
To keep backward compatibility on LUA, all the no-script flags on existing commands
were kept untouched. In addition, a LUA special treatment on XREAD and XREADGROUP was kept.
To keep backward compatibility on MULTI (which today allows SUBSCRIBE, and PSUBSCRIBE).
We added a special treatment on those commands to allow executing them on MULTI.
The only backward compatibility issue that this PR introduces is that now MONITOR
is not allowed inside MULTI.
Tests were added to verify blocking commands are not blocking the client on LUA, MULTI,
or RM_Call. Tests were added to verify the module can check for CLIENT_DENY_BLOCKING flag.

Add two optional callbacks to the RedisModuleTypeMethods structure, which is `free_effort`
and `unlink`. the `free_effort` callback indicates the effort required to free a module memory.
Currently, if the effort exceeds LAZYFREE_THRESHOLD, the module memory may be released
asynchronously. the `unlink` callback indicates the key has been removed from the DB by redis, and
may soon be freed by a background thread.
Add `lazyfreed_objects` info field, which represents the number of objects that have been
lazyfreed since redis was started.
Add `RM_GetTypeMethodVersion` API, which return the current redis-server runtime value of
`REDISMODULE_TYPE_METHOD_VERSION`. You can use that when calling `RM_CreateDataType` to know
which fields of RedisModuleTypeMethods are gonna be supported and which will be ignored.
- Add ZDIFF and ZDIFFSTORE which work similarly to SDIFF and SDIFFSTORE
- Make sure the new WITHSCORES argument that was added for ZUNION isn't considered valid for ZUNIONSTORE

BLPOP when there are elements in the list works in the same way as LPOP
does. Due to this they also does the same repetitive action and logic
for the same is written at two different places. This is a bad code
practice as the one needs the context to change the BLPOP list pop code
as well when the LPOP code gets changed.
Separated the generic logic from LPOP to a function that is being used
by the BLPOP code as well.
* Debug Populate: Add checks for count and keysize to avoid crash
* provide getRangeLongFromObjectOrReply and getPositiveLongFromObjectOrReply for range check
Expose new `loading_rdb_used_mem` showing the used memory of the server
that saved the RDB file we're currently using.
This is useful in diskless replication when the total size of the rdb is
unkown, and can be used as a rought estimation of progres.
Use that new field to calculate the "user friendly"
`loading_loaded_perc` and `loading_eta_seconds`.
Expose `master_sync_total_bytes` and `master_sync_total_bytes` to complement
on the existing `master_sync_total_bytes` (which cannot be used on its own
to calculate progress).
Add "user friendly" field for `master_sync_perc`
Perform full reset of all client connection states, is if the client was

* MONITOR mode
* Pub/Sub subscription
* ACL/Authenticated state
* Client tracking state
* Cluster read-only/asking state
* RESP version (reset to 2)
* Selected database
* CLIENT REPLY state
The response is +RESET to make it easily distinguishable from other

This will allow to use: RedisModule_CreateStringPrintf(ctx, "%s %c %s", "string1", 0, "string2");
On large string, the previous code would incrementally retry to double the output buffer.
now it uses the the return value of snprintf and grows to the right size in one step.
and also avoids an excessive strlen in sdscat at the end.
Make it possible for redis-cli cluster import to work with source and
target that require AUTH.
Adding two different flags --cluster-from-user, --cluster-from-pass
and --cluster-askpass for source node authentication.
Also for target authentication, using existing --user and --pass flag.
Example:
./redis-cli --cluster import 127.0.0.1:7000 --cluster-from 127.0.0.1:6379 --pass 1234 --user default --cluster-from-user default --cluster-from-pass 123456
./redis-cli --cluster import 127.0.0.1:7000 --cluster-from 127.0.0.1:6379 --askpass --cluster-from-user default --cluster-from-askpass
Few config settings are also reflected by the INFO command.
these are mainly ones that are important for either an instant view of
the server status (to compare a metric to it's limit config),
Important configurations that are necessary in the crash log (which
currently doesn't print the config),
And things that are important for monitoring solutions (such as
Prometheus), which rely on INFO to collect their data.
Add cluster_connections to INFO CLUSTER:
This makes it possible to be combined together with connected_clients
and connected_slaves and be matched against maxclients
In redisFork(), we don't set child pid, so updateDictResizePolicy()
doesn't take effect, that isn't friendly for copy-on-write.
The bug was introduced this in redis 6.0: 56258c6
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.
The bug occurs when 'callback' re-registers itself to a point
in the future and the execution time in non-negligible:
'now' refers to time BEFORE callback was executed and is used
to calculate 'next_period'.
We must get the actual current time when calculating 'next_period'
Useful when you want to know through which bind address the client connected to
the server in case of multiple bind addresses.
- Adding `laddr` field to CLIENT list showing the local (bind) address.
- Adding `LADDR` option to CLIENT KILL to kill all the clients connected
to a specific local address.
- Refactoring to share code.
Background:
#3467 (redis 4.0.0), started ignoring ENOPROTOOPT, but did that only for
the default bind (in case bind config wasn't explicitly set).
#5598 (redis 5.0.3), added that for bind addresses explicitly set
(following bug reports in Debian for redis 4.0.9 and 5.0.1), it
also ignored a bunch of other errors like EPROTONOSUPPORT which was
requested in #3894, and also added EADDRNOTAVAIL (wasn't clear why).
This (ignoring EADDRNOTAVAIL) makes redis start successfully, even if a
certain network interface isn't up yet , in which case we rather redis
fail and will be re-tried when the NIC is up, see #7933.
However, it turns out that when IPv6 is disabled (supported but unused),
the error we're getting is EADDRNOTAVAIL. and in many systems the
default config file tries to bind to localhost for both v4 and v6 and
would like to silently ignore the error on v6 if disabled.
This means that we sometimes want to ignore EADDRNOTAVAIL and other times
we wanna fail.
So this commit changes these main things:
1. Ignore all the errors we ignore for both explicitly requested bind
address and a default implicit one.
2. Add a '-' prefix to allow EADDRNOTAVAIL be ignored (by default that's
different than the previous behavior).
3. Restructure that function in a more readable and maintainable way see
below.
4. Make the default behavior of listening to all achievable by setting
a bind config directive to * (previously only possible by omitting
it)
5. document everything.
The old structure of this function was that even if there are no bind
addresses requested, the loop that runs though the bind addresses runs
at least once anyway!
In that one iteration of the loop it binds to both v4 and v6 addresses,
handles errors for each of them separately, and then eventually at the
if-else chain, handles the error of the last bind attempt again!
This was very hard to read and very error prone to maintain, instead now
when the bind info is missing we create one with two entries, and run
the simple loop twice.
