This bug had a double effect:
1. Sometimes entries may not be emitted, producing broken protocol where
the array length was greater than the emitted entires, blocking the
client waiting for more data.
2. Some other time the right entry was claimed, but a wrong entry was
returned to the client.
This fix should correct both the instances.
So far it was not possible to setup Sentinel with authentication
enabled. This commit introduces this feature: every Sentinel will try to
authenticate with other sentinels using the same password it is
configured to accept clients with.
So for instance if a Sentinel has a "requirepass" configuration
statemnet set to "foo", it will use the "foo" password to authenticate
with every other Sentinel it connects to. So basically to add the
"requirepass" to all the Sentinels configurations is enough in order to
make sure that:
1) Clients will require the password to access the Sentinels instances.
2) Each Sentinel will use the same password to connect and authenticate
with every other Sentinel in the group.
Related to #3279 and #3329.
Fake clients are used in special situations and are not linked to the
normal clients list, freeing them will always result in Redis crashing
in one way or the other.
It's not common to send replies to fake clients, but we have one usage
in the modules API. When a client is blocked, we associate to the
blocked client object (that is safe to manipulate in a thread), a fake
client that accumulates replies. So because of this bug there was
the problem described in issue #5443.
The fix was verified to work with the provided example module. To write
a regression is very hard and unlikely to be triggered in the future.
The fix was removed by c8ca71d40 attempting to fix the stack generation
on ARM64, without testing if it would still work on ARM32.
Now it should work both sides.
They play better with Lua scripting, otherwise Lua will see status
replies as "ok" = "string" which is very odd, and actually as @oranagra
reasoned in issue #5456 in the rest of the Redis code base there was no
such concern as saving a few bytes when the protocol is emitted.
