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
* tests/valgrind: don't use debug restart
DEBUG REATART causes two issues:
1. it uses execve which replaces the original process and valgrind doesn't
have a chance to check for errors, so leaks go unreported.
2. valgrind report invalid calls to close() which we're unable to resolve.
So now the tests use restart_server mechanism in the tests, that terminates
the old server and starts a new one, new PID, but same stdout, stderr.
since the stderr can contain two or more valgrind report, it is not enough
to just check for the absence of leaks, we also need to check for some known
errors, we do both, and fail if we either find an error, or can't find a
report saying there are no leaks.
other changes:
- when killing a server that was already terminated we check for leaks too.
- adding DEBUG LEAK which was used to test it.
- adding --trace-children to valgrind, although no longer needed.
- since the stdout contains two or more runs, we need slightly different way
of checking if the new process is up (explicitly looking for the new PID)
- move the code that handles --wait-server to happen earlier (before
watching the startup message in the log), and serve the restarted server too.
* squashme - CR fixes
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.
*** [err]: PSYNC2: total sum of full synchronizations is exactly 4 in tests/integration/psync2.tcl
Expected 5 == 4 (context: type eval line 6 cmd {assert {$sum == 4}} proc ::test)
issue was that sometime the test got an unexpected full sync since it
tried to switch to the replica before it was in sync with it's master.
solving few replication related tests race conditions which fail on slow machines
bugfix in slave buffers test: since the test is executed twice, each time with
a different commands count, the threshold for the delta can't be a constant.
This actually includes two changes:
1) No newlines to take the master-slave link up when the upstream master
is down. Doing this is dangerous because the sub-slave often is received
replication protocol for an half-command, so can't receive newlines
without desyncing the replication link, even with the code in order to
cancel out the bytes that PSYNC2 was using. Moreover this is probably
also not needed/sane, because anyway the slave can keep serving
requests, and because if it's configured to don't serve stale data, it's
a good idea, actually, to break the link.
2) When a +CONTINUE with a different ID is received, we now break
connection with the sub-slaves: they need to be notified as well. This
was part of the original specification but for some reason it was not
implemented in the code, and was alter found as a PSYNC2 bug in the
integration testing.
This is the PSYNC2 test that helped find issues in the code, and that
still can show a protocol desync from time to time. Work is in progress
in order to find the issue. For now the test is not enabled in "make
test" and must be run manually.
