This allows supplying secret configuration (for example - masterauth) via a secure channel
instead of having it in a plaintext file / command line param, while still allowing for most
of the configuration to reside there.
Also, remove 'special' case handling for --check-rdb which hasn't been relevant
since 4.0.0.

- 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

track and report memory used by clients argv.
this is very usaful in case clients started sending a command and didn't
complete it. in which case the first args of the command are already
trimmed from the query buffer.
in an effort to avoid cache misses and overheads while keeping track of
these, i avoid calling sdsZmallocSize and instead use the sdslen /
bulk-len which can at least give some insight into the problem.
This memory is now added to the total clients memory usage, as well as
the client list.
We may access and modify these two variables in signal handler function,
to guarantee them async-signal-safe, so we should set them to volatile
sig_atomic_t type.
It doesn't look like this could have caused any real issue, and it seems that
signals are handled in main thread on most platforms. But we want to follow C
and POSIX standard in signal handler function.
Before this commit, we would have continued to add replies to the reply buffer even if client
output buffer limit is reached, so the used memory would keep increasing over the configured limit.
What's more, we shouldn’t write any reply to the client if it is set 'CLIENT_CLOSE_ASAP' flag
because that doesn't conform to its definition and we will close all clients flagged with
'CLIENT_CLOSE_ASAP' in ‘beforeSleep’.
Because of code execution order, before this, we may firstly write to part of the replies to
the socket before disconnecting it, but in fact, we may can’t send the full replies to clients
since OS socket buffer is limited. But this unexpected behavior makes some commands work well,
for instance ACL DELUSER, if the client deletes the current user, we need to send reply to client
and close the connection, but before, we close the client firstly and write the reply to reply
buffer. secondly, we shouldn't do this despite the fact it works well in most cases.
We add a flag 'CLIENT_CLOSE_AFTER_COMMAND' to mark clients, this flag means we will close the
client after executing commands and send all entire replies, so that we can write replies to
reply buffer during executing commands, send replies to clients, and close them later.
We also fix some implicit problems. If client output buffer limit is enforced in 'multi/exec',
all commands will be executed completely in redis and clients will not read any reply instead of
partial replies. Even more, if the client executes 'ACL deluser' the using user in 'multi/exec',
it will not read the replies after 'ACL deluser' just like before executing 'client kill' itself
in 'multi/exec'.
We added some tests for output buffer limit breach during multi-exec and using a pipeline of
many small commands rather than one with big response.

We're already using bg_unlink in several places to delete the rdb file in the background,
and avoid paying the cost of the deletion from our main thread.
This commit uses bg_unlink to remove the temporary rdb file in the background too.
However, in case we delete that rdb file just before exiting, we don't actually wait for the
background thread or the main thread to delete it, and just let the OS clean up after us.
i.e. we open the file, unlink it and exit with the fd still open.
Furthermore, rdbRemoveTempFile can be called from a thread and was using snprintf which is
not async-signal-safe, we now use ll2string instead.
Redis 6.0 introduces I/O threads, it is so cool and efficient, we use C11
_Atomic to establish inter-thread synchronization without mutex. But the
compiler that must supports C11 _Atomic can compile redis code, that brings a
lot of inconvenience since some common platforms can't support by default such
as CentOS7, so we want to implement redis atomic type to make it more portable.
We have implemented our atomic variable for redis that only has 'relaxed'
operations in src/atomicvar.h, so we implement some operations with
'sequentially-consistent', just like the default behavior of C11 _Atomic that
can establish inter-thread synchronization. And we replace all uses of C11
_Atomic with redis atomic variable.
Our implementation of redis atomic variable uses C11 _Atomic, __atomic or
__sync macros if available, it supports most common platforms, and we will
detect automatically which feature we use. In Makefile we use a dummy file to
detect if the compiler supports C11 _Atomic. Now for gcc, we can compile redis
code theoretically if your gcc version is not less than 4.1.2(starts to support
__sync_xxx operations). Otherwise, we remove use mutex fallback to implement
redis atomic variable for performance and test. You will get compiling errors
if your compiler doesn't support all features of above.
For cover redis atomic variable tests, we add other CI jobs that build redis on
CentOS6 and CentOS7 and workflow daily jobs that run the tests on them.
For them, we just install gcc by default in order to cover different compiler
versions, gcc is 4.4.7 by default installation on CentOS6 and 4.8.5 on CentOS7.
We restore the feature that we can test redis with Helgrind to find data race
errors. But you need install Valgrind in the default path configuration firstly
before running your tests, since we use macros in helgrind.h to tell Helgrind
inter-thread happens-before relationship explicitly for avoiding false positives.
Please open an issue on github if you find data race errors relate to this commit.

- Fix redefinition of typedef 'RedisModuleUserChangedFunc'
For some old version compilers, they will report errors or warnings, if we

If one thread got SIGSEGV, function sigsegvHandler() would be triggered,
it would call bioKillThreads(). But call pthread_cancel() to cancel itself
would make it block. Also note that if SIGSEGV is caught by bio thread, it
should kill the main thread in order to give a positive report.
Rather than blindly evicting until maxmemory limit is achieved, this
update adds a time limit to eviction. While over the maxmemory limit,
eviction will process before each command AND as a timeProc when no
commands are running.
This will reduce the latency impact on many cases, especially pathological
cases like massive used memory increase during dict rehashing.
There is a risk that some other edge cases (like massive pipelined use
of MGET) could cause Redis memory usage to keep growing despite the
eviction attempts, so a new maxmemory-eviction-tenacity config is
introduced to let users mitigate that.
This is a catch-all test to confirm that that rewrite produces a valid
output for all parameters and that this process does not introduce
undesired configuration changes.
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.
During long running scripts or loading RDB/AOF, we may need to do some
defragging. Since processEventsWhileBlocked is called periodically at
unknown intervals, and many cron jobs either depend on run_with_period
(including active defrag), or rely on being called at server.hz rate
(i.e. active defrag knows ho much time to run by looking at server.hz),
the whileBlockedCron may have to run a loop triggering the cron jobs in it
(currently only active defrag) several times.
Other changes:
- Adding a test for defrag during aof loading.
- Changing key-load-delay config to take negative values for fractions
of a microsecond sleep
65a3307bc (released in 6.0.6) has a side effect, when processCommand
rejects a command with pre-made shared object error string, it trims the
newlines from the end of the string. if that string is later used with
addReply, the newline will be missing, breaking the protocol, and
leaving the client hung.
It seems that the only scenario which this happens is when replying with
-LOADING to some command, and later using that reply from the CONFIG
SET command (still during loading). this will result in hung client.
Refactoring the code in order to avoid trimming these newlines from
shared string objects, and do the newline trimming only in other cases
where it's needed.

During a long AOF or RDB loading, the memory stats were not updated, and
INFO would return stale data, specifically about fragmentation and RSS.
In the past some of these were sampled directly inside the INFO command,
but were moved to cron as an optimization.
This commit introduces a concept of loadingCron which should take
some of the responsibilities of serverCron.
It attempts to limit it's rate to approximately the server Hz, but may
not be very accurate.
In order to avoid too many system call, we use the cached ustime, and
also make sure to update it in both AOF loading and RDB loading inside
processEventsWhileBlocked (it seems AOF loading was missing it).
After fork, the child process(redis-aof-rewrite) will get the fd opened
by the parent process(redis), when redis killed by kill -9, it will not
graceful exit(call prepareForShutdown()), so redis-aof-rewrite thread may still
alive, the fd(lock) will still be held by redis-aof-rewrite thread, and
redis restart will fail to get lock, means fail to start.
This issue was causing failures in the cluster tests in github actions.

Add Linux kernel OOM killer control option.
This adds the ability to control the Linux OOM killer oom_score_adj
parameter for all Redis processes, depending on the process role (i.e.
master, replica, background child).
A oom-score-adj global boolean flag control this feature. In addition,
specific values can be configured using oom-score-adj-values if
additional tuning is required.
This is a rebased version of #3078 originally by shaharmor
with the following patches by TysonAndre made after rebasing
to work with the updated C API:
1. Add 2 more unit tests
(wrong argument count error message, integer over 64 bits)
2. Use addReplyArrayLen instead of addReplyMultiBulkLen.
3. Undo changes to src/help.h - for the ZMSCORE PR,
I heard those should instead be automatically
generated from the redis-doc repo if it gets updated
Motivations:
- Example use case: Client code to efficiently check if each element of a set
of 1000 items is a member of a set of 10 million items.
(Similar to reasons for working on #7593)
- HMGET and ZMSCORE already exist. This may lead to developers deciding
to implement functionality that's best suited to a regular set with a
data type of sorted set or hash map instead, for the multi-get support.
Currently, multi commands or lua scripting to call sismember multiple times
would almost definitely be less efficient than a native smismember
for the following reasons:
- Need to fetch the set from the string every time
instead of reusing the C pointer.
- Using pipelining or multi-commands would result in more bytes sent
and received by the client for the repeated SISMEMBER KEY sections.
- Need to specially encode the data and decode it from the client
for lua-based solutions.
- Proposed solutions using Lua or SADD/SDIFF could trigger writes to
memory, which is undesirable on a redis replica server
or when commands get replicated to replicas.

Before this fix we where attempting to select a db before creating db the DB, see: #7323
This issue doesn't seem to have any implications, since the selected DB index is 0,
the db pointer remains NULL, and will later be correctly set before using this dummy
client for the first time.
As we know, we call 'moduleInitModulesSystem()' before 'initServer()'. We will allocate
memory for server.db in 'initServer', but we call 'createClient()' that will call 'selectDb()'
in 'moduleInitModulesSystem()', before the databases where created. Instead, we should call
'createClient()' for moduleFreeContextReusedClient after 'initServer()'.
Diskless master has some inherent latencies.
1) fork starts with delay from cron rather than immediately
2) replica is put online only after an ACK. but the ACK
was sent only once a second.
3) but even if it would arrive immediately, it will not
register in case cron didn't yet detect that the fork is done.
Besides that, when a replica disconnects, it doesn't immediately
attempts to re-connect, it waits for replication cron (one per second).
in case it was already online, it may be important to try to re-connect
as soon as possible, so that the backlog at the master doesn't vanish.
In case it disconnected during rdb transfer, one can argue that it's
not very important to re-connect immediately, but this is needed for the
"diskless loading short read" test to be able to run 100 iterations in 5
seconds, rather than 3 (waiting for replication cron re-connection)
changes in this commit:
1) sync command starts a fork immediately if no sync_delay is configured
2) replica sends REPLCONF ACK when done reading the rdb (rather than on 1s cron)
3) when a replica unexpectedly disconnets, it immediately tries to
re-connect rather than waiting 1s
4) when when a child exits, if there is another replica waiting, we spawn a new
one right away, instead of waiting for 1s replicationCron.
5) added a call to connectWithMaster from replicationSetMaster. which is called
from the REPLICAOF command but also in 3 places in cluster.c, in all of
these the connection attempt will now be immediate instead of delayed by 1
second.
side note:
we can add a call to rdbPipeReadHandler in replconfCommand when getting
a REPLCONF ACK from the replica to solve a race where the replica got
the entire rdb and EOF marker before we detected that the pipe was
closed.
in the test i did see this race happens in one about of some 300 runs,
but i concluded that this race is unlikely in real life (where the
replica is on another host and we're more likely to first detect the
pipe was closed.
the test runs 100 iterations in 3 seconds, so in some cases it'll take 4
seconds instead (waiting for another REPLCONF ACK).
Removing unneeded startBgsaveForReplication from updateSlavesWaitingForBgsave
Now that CheckChildrenDone is calling the new replicationStartPendingFork
(extracted from serverCron) there's actually no need to call
startBgsaveForReplication from updateSlavesWaitingForBgsave anymore,
since as soon as updateSlavesWaitingForBgsave returns, CheckChildrenDone is
calling replicationStartPendingFork that handles that anyway.
The code in updateSlavesWaitingForBgsave had a bug in which it ignored
repl-diskless-sync-delay, but removing that code shows that this bug was
hiding another bug, which is that the max_idle should have used >= and
not >, this one second delay has a big impact on my new test.
This makes it possible to add tests that generate assertions, and run
them with valgrind, making sure that there are no memory violations
prior to the assertion.
New config options:
- crash-log-enabled - can be disabled for cleaner core dumps
- crash-memcheck-enabled - useful for faster termination after a crash
- use-exit-on-panic - to be used by the test suite so that valgrind can
detect leaks and memory corruptions
Other changes:
- Crash log is printed even on system that dont HAVE_BACKTRACE, i.e. in
both SIGSEGV and assert / panic
- Assertion and panic won't print registers and code around EIP (which
was useless), but will do fast memory test (which may still indicate
that the assertion was due to memory corrpution)
I had to reshuffle code in order to re-use it, so i extracted come code
into function without actually doing any changes to the code:
- logServerInfo
- logModulesInfo
- doFastMemoryTest (with the exception of it being conditional)
- dumpCodeAroundEIP
changes to the crash report on segfault:
- logRegisters is called right after the stack trace (before info) done
just in order to have more re-usable code
- stack trace skips the first two items on the stack (the crash log and
signal handler functions)
Syntax: `ZMSCORE KEY MEMBER [MEMBER ...]`
This is an extension of #2359
amended by Tyson Andre to work with the changed unstable API,
add more tests, and consistently return an array.
- It seemed as if it would be more likely to get reviewed
after updating the implementation.
Currently, multi commands or lua scripting to call zscore multiple times
would almost definitely be less efficient than a native ZMSCORE
for the following reasons:
- Need to fetch the set from the string every time instead of reusing the C
pointer.
- Using pipelining or multi-commands would result in more bytes sent by
the client for the repeated `ZMSCORE KEY` sections.
- Need to specially encode the data and decode it from the client
for lua-based solutions.
- The fastest solution I've seen for large sets(thousands or millions)
involves lua and a variadic ZADD, then a ZINTERSECT, then a ZRANGE 0 -1,
then UNLINK of a temporary set (or lua). This is still inefficient.

Similarly to EXPIREAT with TTL in the past, which implicitly deletes the
key and return success, RESTORE should not store key that are already
expired into the db.
When used together with REPLACE it should emit a DEL to keyspace
notification and replication stream.
In order to support the use of multi-exec in pipeline, it is important that
MULTI and EXEC are never rejected and it is easy for the client to know if the
connection is still in multi state.
It was easy to make sure MULTI and DISCARD never fail (done by previous
commits) since these only change the client state and don't do any actual
change in the server, but EXEC is a different story.
Since in the past, it was possible for clients to handle some EXEC errors and
retry the EXEC, we now can't affort to return any error on EXEC other than
EXECABORT, which now carries with it the real reason for the abort too.
Other fixes in this commit:
- Some checks that where performed at the time of queuing need to be re-
validated when EXEC runs, for instance if the transaction contains writes
commands, it needs to be aborted. there was one check that was already done
in execCommand (-READONLY), but other checks where missing: -OOM, -MISCONF,
-NOREPLICAS, -MASTERDOWN
- When a command is rejected by processCommand it was rejected with addReply,
which was not recognized as an error in case the bad command came from the
master. this will enable to count or MONITOR these errors in the future.
- make it easier for tests to create additional (non deferred) clients.
- add tests for the fixes of this commit.
The `LRANK` command returns the index (position) of a given element
within a list. Using the `direction` argument it is possible to specify
going from head to tail (acending, 1) or from tail to head (decending,
-1). Only the first found index is returend. The complexity is O(N).
When using lists as a queue it can be of interest at what position a
given element is, for instance to monitor a job processing through a
work queue. This came up within the Python `rq` project which is based
on Redis[0].

After a closer look, the Redis core devleopers all believe that this was
too fragile, caused many bugs that we didn't expect and that were very
hard to track. Better to find an alternative solution that is simpler.
Otherwise we run into that:

Since we disconnect all the replicas and free the replication backlog in
certain replication paths, and the code that will free the replication
backlog expects that no replica is connected.
However we still need to free the replicas asynchronously in certain
cases, as documented in the top comment of disconnectSlaves().
The context is issue #7205: since the introduction of threaded I/O we close
clients asynchronously by default from readQueryFromClient(). So we
should no longer prevent the caching of the master client, to later
PSYNC incrementally, if such flags are set. However we also don't want
the master client to be cached with such flags (would be closed
immediately after being restored). And yet we want a way to understand
if a master was closed because of a protocol error, and in that case
prevent the caching.
This works because this struct is never referenced by its name,
but always by its type.
This prevents a conflict with struct user from <sys/user.h>
when compiling against uclibc.

Currently, there are several types of threads/child processes of a
redis server. Sometimes we need deeply optimise the performance of
redis, so we would like to isolate threads/processes.
There were some discussion about cpu affinity cases in the issue:
https://github.com/antirez/redis/issues/2863
So implement cpu affinity setting by redis.conf in this patch, then
we can config server_cpulist/bio_cpulist/aof_rewrite_cpulist/
bgsave_cpulist by cpu list.
Examples of cpulist in redis.conf:
server_cpulist 0-7:2 means cpu affinity 0,2,4,6
bio_cpulist 1,3 means cpu affinity 1,3
aof_rewrite_cpulist 8-11 means cpu affinity 8,9,10,11
bgsave_cpulist 1,10-11 means cpu affinity 1,10,11
Test on linux/freebsd, both work fine.

Now both master and replicas keep track of the last replication offset
that contains meaningful data (ignoring the tailing pings), and both
trim that tail from the replication backlog, and the offset with which
they try to use for psync.
the implication is that if someone missed some pings, or even have
excessive pings that the promoted replica has, it'll still be able to
psync (avoid full sync).
the downside (which was already committed) is that replicas running old
code may fail to psync, since the promoted replica trims pings form it's
backlog.
This commit adds a test that reproduces several cases of promotions and
demotions with stale and non-stale pings
Background:
The mearningful offset on the master was added recently to solve a problem were
the master is left all alone, injecting PINGs into it's backlog when no one is
listening and then gets demoted and tries to replicate from a replica that didn't
have any of the PINGs (or at least not the last ones).
however, consider this case:
master A has two replicas (B and C) replicating directly from it.
there's no traffic at all, and also no network issues, just many pings in the
tail of the backlog. now B gets promoted, A becomes a replica of B, and C
remains a replica of A. when A gets demoted, it trims the pings from its
backlog, and successfully replicate from B. however, C is still aware of
these PINGs, when it'll disconnect and re-connect to A, it'll ask for something
that's not in the backlog anymore (since A trimmed the tail of it's backlog),
and be forced to do a full sync (something it didn't have to do before the
meaningful offset fix).
Besides that, the psync2 test was always failing randomly here and there, it
turns out the reason were PINGs. Investigating it shows the following scenario:
cycle 1: redis #1 is master, and all the rest are direct replicas of #1
cycle 2: redis #2 is promoted to master, #1 is a replica of #2 and #3 is replica of #1
now we see that when #1 is demoted it prints:
17339:S 21 Apr 2020 11:16:38.523 * Using the meaningful offset 3929963 instead of 3929977 to exclude the final PINGs (14 bytes difference)
17339:S 21 Apr 2020 11:16:39.391 * Trying a partial resynchronization (request e2b3f8817735fdfe5fa4626766daa938b61419e5:3929964).
17339:S 21 Apr 2020 11:16:39.392 * Successful partial resynchronization with master.
and when #3 connects to the demoted #2, #2 says:
17339:S 21 Apr 2020 11:16:40.084 * Partial resynchronization not accepted: Requested offset for secondary ID was 3929978, but I can reply up to 3929964
so the issue here is that the meaningful offset feature saved the day for the
demoted master (since it needs to sync from a replica that didn't get the last
ping), but it didn't help one of the other replicas which did get the last ping.
STRALGO should be a container for mostly read-only string
algorithms in Redis. The algorithms should have two main
characteristics:
1. They should be non trivial to compute, and often not part of
programming language standard libraries.
2. They should be fast enough that it is a good idea to have optimized C
implementations.
Next thing I would love to see? A small strings compression algorithm.
Reloading of the RDB generated by
DEBUG POPULATE 5000000
SAVE
is now 25% faster.
This commit also prepares the ability to have more flexibility when
loading stuff from the RDB, since we no longer use dbAdd() but can
control exactly how things are added in the database.
Related to #5145.
Design note: clients may change type when they turn into replicas or are
moved into the Pub/Sub category and so forth. Moreover the recomputation
of the bytes used is problematic for obvious reasons: it changes
continuously, so as a conservative way to avoid accumulating errors,
each client remembers the contribution it gave to the sum, and removes
it when it is freed or before updating it with the new memory usage.
Makse sure call() doesn't wrap replicated commands with
a redundant MULTI/EXEC
Other, unrelated changes:
1. Formatting compiler warning in INFO CLIENTS
2. Use CLIENT_ID_AOF instead of UINT64_MAX
37a10cef introduced automatic wrapping of MULTI/EXEC for the
alsoPropagate API. However this collides with the built-in mechanism
already present in module.c. To avoid complex changes near Redis 6 GA
this commit introduces the ability to exclude call() MUTLI/EXEC wrapping
for also propagate in order to continue to use the old code paths in
module.c.
Now that this mechanism is the sole one used for blocked clients
timeouts, it is more wise to cleanup the table when the client unblocks
for any reason. We use a flag: CLIENT_IN_TO_TABLE, in order to avoid a
radix tree lookup when the client was already removed from the table
because we processed it by scanning the radix tree.
A very commonly signaled operational problem with Redis master-replicas
sets is that, once the master becomes unavailable for some reason,
especially because of network problems, many times it wont be able to
perform a partial resynchronization with the new master, once it rejoins
the partition, for the following reason:
1. The master becomes isolated, however it keeps sending PINGs to the
replicas. Such PINGs will never be received since the link connection is
actually already severed.
2. On the other side, one of the replicas will turn into the new master,
setting its secondary replication ID offset to the one of the last
command received from the old master: this offset will not include the
PINGs sent by the master once the link was already disconnected.
3. When the master rejoins the partion and is turned into a replica, its
offset will be too advanced because of the PINGs, so a PSYNC will fail,
and a full synchronization will be required.
Related to issue #7002 and other discussion we had in the past around
this problem.
Before this commit, when upgrading a replica, expired keys will not
be loaded, thus causing replica having less keys in db. To this point,
master and replica's keys is logically consistent. However, before
the keys in master and replica are physically consistent, that is,
they have the same dbsize, if master got a problem and the replica
got promoted and becomes new master of that partition, and master
updates a key which does not exist on master, but physically exists
on the old master(new replica), the old master would refuse to update
the key, thus causing master and replica data inconsistent.
How could this happen?
That's all because of the wrong judgement of roles while starting up
the server. We can not use server.masterhost to judge if the server
is master or replica, since it fails in cluster mode.
When we start the server, we load rdb and do want to load expired keys,
and do not want to have the ability to active expire keys, if it is
a replica.
1. Call emptyDb even in case of diskless-load: We want modules
to get the same FLUSHDB event as disk-based replication.
2. Do not fire any module events when flushing the backups array.
3. Delete redundant call to signalFlushedDb (Called from emptyDb).
Because "keymiss" is "special" compared to the rest of
the notifications (Trying not to break existing apps
using the 'A' format for notifications)
