Reduce dict struct memory overhead
on 64bit dict size goes down from jemalloc's 96 byte bin to its 56 byte bin.
summary of changes:
- Remove `privdata` from callbacks and dict creation. (this affects many files, see "Interface change" below).
- Meld `dictht` struct into the `dict` struct to eliminate struct padding. (this affects just dict.c and defrag.c)
- Eliminate the `sizemask` field, can be calculated from size when needed.
- Convert the `size` field into `size_exp` (exponent), utilizes one byte instead of 8.
Interface change: pass dict pointer to dict type call back functions.
This is instead of passing the removed privdata field. In the future if
we'd like to have private data in the callbacks we can extract it from
the dict type. We can extend dictType to include a custom dict struct
allocator and use it to allocate more data at the end of the dict
struct. This data can then be used to store private data later acccessed
by the callbacks.
## Current state
1. Lua has its own parser that handles parsing `reds.call` replies and translates them
to Lua objects that can be used by the user Lua code. The parser partially handles
resp3 (missing big number, verbatim, attribute, ...)
2. Modules have their own parser that handles parsing `RM_Call` replies and translates
them to RedisModuleCallReply objects. The parser does not support resp3.
In addition, in the future, we want to add Redis Function (#8693) that will probably
support more languages. At some point maintaining so many parsers will stop
scaling (bug fixes and protocol changes will need to be applied on all of them).
We will probably end up with different parsers that support different parts of the
resp protocol (like we already have today with Lua and modules)
## PR Changes
This PR attempt to unified the reply parsing of Lua and modules (and in the future
Redis Function) by introducing a new parser unit (`resp_parser.c`). The new parser
handles parsing the reply and calls different callbacks to allow the users (another
unit that uses the parser, i.e, Lua, modules, or Redis Function) to analyze the reply.
### Lua API Additions
The code that handles reply parsing on `scripting.c` was removed. Instead, it uses
the resp_parser to parse and create a Lua object out of the reply. As mentioned
above the Lua parser did not handle parsing big numbers, verbatim, and attribute.
The new parser can handle those and so Lua also gets it for free.
Those are translated to Lua objects in the following way:
1. Big Number - Lua table `{'big_number':'<str representation for big number>'}`
2. Verbatim - Lua table `{'verbatim_string':{'format':'<verbatim format>', 'string':'<verbatim string value>'}}`
3. Attribute - currently ignored and not expose to the Lua parser, another issue will be open to decide how to expose it.
Tests were added to check resp3 reply parsing on Lua
### Modules API Additions
The reply parsing code on `module.c` was also removed and the new resp_parser is used instead.
In addition, the RedisModuleCallReply was also extracted to a separate unit located on `call_reply.c`
(in the future, this unit will also be used by Redis Function). A nice side effect of unified parsing is
that modules now also support resp3. Resp3 can be enabled by giving `3` as a parameter to the
fmt argument of `RM_Call`. It is also possible to give `0`, which will indicate an auto mode. i.e, Redis
will automatically chose the reply protocol base on the current client set on the RedisModuleCtx
(this mode will mostly be used when the module want to pass the reply to the client as is).
In addition, the following RedisModuleAPI were added to allow analyzing resp3 replies:
* New RedisModuleCallReply types:
* `REDISMODULE_REPLY_MAP`
* `REDISMODULE_REPLY_SET`
* `REDISMODULE_REPLY_BOOL`
* `REDISMODULE_REPLY_DOUBLE`
* `REDISMODULE_REPLY_BIG_NUMBER`
* `REDISMODULE_REPLY_VERBATIM_STRING`
* `REDISMODULE_REPLY_ATTRIBUTE`
* New RedisModuleAPI:
* `RedisModule_CallReplyDouble` - getting double value from resp3 double reply
* `RedisModule_CallReplyBool` - getting boolean value from resp3 boolean reply
* `RedisModule_CallReplyBigNumber` - getting big number value from resp3 big number reply
* `RedisModule_CallReplyVerbatim` - getting format and value from resp3 verbatim reply
* `RedisModule_CallReplySetElement` - getting element from resp3 set reply
* `RedisModule_CallReplyMapElement` - getting key and value from resp3 map reply
* `RedisModule_CallReplyAttribute` - getting a reply attribute
* `RedisModule_CallReplyAttributeElement` - getting key and value from resp3 attribute reply
* New context flags:
* `REDISMODULE_CTX_FLAGS_RESP3` - indicate that the client is using resp3
Tests were added to check the new RedisModuleAPI
### Modules API Changes
* RM_ReplyWithCallReply might return REDISMODULE_ERR if the given CallReply is in resp3
but the client expects resp2. This is not a breaking change because in order to get a resp3
CallReply one needs to specifically specify `3` as a parameter to the fmt argument of
`RM_Call` (as mentioned above).
Tests were added to check this change
### More small Additions
* Added `debug set-disable-deny-scripts` that allows to turn on and off the commands no-script
flag protection. This is used by the Lua resp3 tests so it will be possible to run `debug protocol`
and check the resp3 parsing code.

Modules that use background threads with thread safe contexts are likely
to use RM_BlockClient() without a timeout function, because they do not
set up a timeout.
Before this commit, `CLIENT UNBLOCK` would result with a crash as the
`NULL` timeout callback is called. Beyond just crashing, this is also
logically wrong as it may throw the module into an unexpected client
state.
This commits makes `CLIENT UNBLOCK` on such clients behave the same as
any other client that is not in a blocked state and therefore cannot be
unblocked.
- Introduce a new sdssubstr api as a building block for sdsrange.
The API of sdsrange is many times hard to work with and also has
corner case that cause bugs. sdsrange is easy to work with and also
simplifies the implementation of sdsrange.
- Revert the fix to RM_StringTruncate and just use sdssubstr instead of
sdsrange.
- Solve valgrind warnings from the new tests introduced by the previous
PR.
Previously, passing 0 for newlen would not truncate the string at all.
This adds handling of this case, freeing the old string and creating a new empty string.
Other changes:
- Move `src/modules/testmodule.c` to `tests/modules/basics.c`
- Introduce that basic test into the test suite
- Add tests to cover StringTruncate
- Add `test-modules` build target for the main makefile
- Extend `distclean` build target to clean modules too
Create new module type enhanced callbacks: mem_usage2, free_effort2, unlink2, copy2.
These will be given a context point from which the module can obtain the key name and database id.
In addition the digest and defrag context can now be used to obtain the key name and database id.
* Cleaning up the cluster interface by moving almost all related declarations into cluster.h
(no logic change -- just moving declarations/definitions around)
This initial effort leaves two items out of scope - the configuration parsing into the server
struct and the internals exposed by the clusterNode struct.
* Remove unneeded declarations of dictSds*
Ideally all the dictSds functionality would move from server.c into a dedicated module
so we can avoid the duplication in redis-benchmark/cli
* Move crc16 back into server.h, will be moved out once we create a seperate header file for
hashing functions
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`
These parameters of RedisModule_CreateCommand were previously
undocumented but they are needed for ACL to check permission on keys and
by Redis Cluster to figure our how to route the command.

This change does not fix any bugs.
1. ```moduleUnload``` should return ```C_OK``` or ```C_ERR```, not ```REDISMODULE_ERR``` or ```REDISMODULE_OK```.
2. The ```where``` parameter of ```listTypePush``` and ```listTypePop``` should be ```LIST_HEAD``` or ```LIST_TAIL```
Adding a new type mask for key space notification, REDISMODULE_NOTIFY_MODULE, to enable unique notifications from commands on REDISMODULE_KEYTYPE_MODULE type keys (which is currently unsupported).
Modules can subscribe to a module key keyspace notification by RM_SubscribeToKeyspaceEvents,
and clients by notify-keyspace-events of redis.conf or via the CONFIG SET, with the characters 'd' or 'A'
(REDISMODULE_NOTIFY_MODULE type mask is part of the '**A**ll' notation for key space notifications).
Refactor: move some pubsub test infra from pubsub.tcl to util.tcl to be re-used by other tests.
* Modules API docs: Link API function names to their definitions
Occurrences of API functions are linked to their definition.
A function index with links to all functions is added on the bottom
of the page.
Comment blocks in module.c starting with a markdown h2 heading are
used as sections. A table of contents is generated from these
headings.
The functions names are changed from h2 to h3, since they are now
rendered as sub-headings within each section.
Existing sections in module.c are used with some minor changes.
Some documentation text is added or sligtly modified.
The markdown renderer will add IDs which may clash with our
generated IDs. By prefixing section IDs with "section-" we make
them different.
Replace double dashes with a unicode long ndash
In a code example, using RedisModule_FreeString instead of
RedisModule_Free makes it behave correctly regardless of whether
automatic memory is used or not.
With this fix, module data type registration will fail if the load or save callbacks are not defined, or the optional aux load and save callbacks are not either both defined or both missing.
* SLOWLOG didn't record anything for blocked commands because the client
was reset and argv was already empty. there was a fix for this issue
specifically for modules, now it works for all blocked clients.
* The original command argv (before being re-written) was also reset
before adding the slowlog on behalf of the blocked command.
* Latency monitor is now updated regardless of the slowlog flags of the
command or its execution (their purpose is to hide sensitive info from
the slowlog, not hide the fact the latency happened).
* Latency monitor now uses real_cmd rather than c->cmd (which may be
different if the command got re-written, e.g. GEOADD)
Changes:
* Unify shared code between slowlog insertion in call() and
updateStatsOnUnblock(), hopefully prevent future bugs from happening
due to the later being overlooked.
* Reset CLIENT_PREVENT_LOGGING in resetClient rather than after command
processing.
* Add a test for SLOWLOG and BLPOP
Notes:
- real_cmd == c->lastcmd, except inside MULTI and Lua.
- blocked commands never happen in these cases (MULTI / Lua)
- real_cmd == c->cmd, except for when the command is rewritten (e.g.
GEOADD)
- blocked commands (currently) are never rewritten
- other than the command's CLIENT_PREVENT_LOGGING, and the
execution flag CLIENT_PREVENT_LOGGING, other cases that we want to
avoid slowlog are on AOF loading (specifically CMD_CALL_SLOWLOG will
be off when executed from execCommand that runs from an AOF)
REDISMODULE_CTX_FLAGS_EVICT and REDISMODULE_CTX_FLAGS_MAXMEMORY
shouldn't be set when the module is run inside a replica that doesn't do eviction.
one may argue that the database is under eviction (the master does eviction and sends DELs to the replica).
but on the other hand, we don't really know the master's configuration.
all that matters is if the current instance does evictions or not.
1. moduleReplicateMultiIfNeeded should use server.in_eval like
moduleHandlePropagationAfterCommandCallback
2. server.in_eval could have been set to 1 and not reset back
to 0 (a lot of missed early-exits after in_eval is already 1)
Note: The new assertions in processCommand cover (2) and I added
two module tests to cover (1)
Implications:
If an EVAL that failed (and thus left server.in_eval=1) runs before a module
command that replicates, the replication stream will contain MULTI (because
moduleReplicateMultiIfNeeded used to check server.lua_caller which is NULL
at this point) but not EXEC (because server.in_eval==1)
This only affects modules as module.c the only user of server.in_eval.
Affects versions 6.2.0, 6.2.1
Bug 1:
When a module ctx is freed moduleHandlePropagationAfterCommandCallback
is called and handles propagation. We want to prevent it from propagating
commands that were not replicated by the same context. Example:
1. module1.foo does: RM_Replicate(cmd1); RM_Call(cmd2); RM_Replicate(cmd3)
2. RM_Replicate(cmd1) propagates MULTI and adds cmd1 to also_propagagte
3. RM_Call(cmd2) create a new ctx, calls call() and destroys the ctx.
4. moduleHandlePropagationAfterCommandCallback is called, calling
alsoPropagates EXEC (Note: EXEC is still not written to socket),
setting server.in_trnsaction = 0
5. RM_Replicate(cmd3) is called, propagagting yet another MULTI (now
we have nested MULTI calls, which is no good) and then cmd3
We must prevent RM_Call(cmd2) from resetting server.in_transaction.
REDISMODULE_CTX_MULTI_EMITTED was revived for that purpose.
Bug 2:
Fix issues with nested RM_Call where some have '!' and some don't.
Example:
1. module1.foo does RM_Call of module2.bar without replication (i.e. no '!')
2. module2.bar internally calls RM_Call of INCR with '!'
3. at the end of module1.foo we call RM_ReplicateVerbatim
We want the replica/AOF to see only module1.foo and not the INCR from module2.bar
Introduced a global replication_allowed flag inside RM_Call to determine
whether we need to replicate or not (even if '!' was specified)
Other changes:
Split beforePropagateMultiOrExec to beforePropagateMulti afterPropagateExec
just for better readability
Have a clear separation between in and out flags
Other changes:
delete dead code in RM_ZsetIncrby: if zsetAdd returned error (happens only if
the result of the operation is NAN or if score is NAN) we return immediately so
there is no way that zsetAdd succeeded and returned NAN in the out-flags
Scenario:
1. A module client is blocked on keys with a timeout
2. Shortly before the timeout expires, the key is being populated and signaled
as ready
3. Redis calls moduleTryServeClientBlockedOnKey (which replies to client) and
then moduleUnblockClient
4. moduleUnblockClient doesn't really unblock the client, it writes to
server.module_blocked_pipe and only marks the BC as unblocked.
5. beforeSleep kics in, by this time the client still exists and techincally
timed-out. beforeSleep replies to the timeout client (double reply) and
only then moduleHandleBlockedClients is called, reading from module_blocked_pipe
and calling unblockClient
The solution is similar to what was done in moduleTryServeClientBlockedOnKey: we
should avoid re-processing an already-unblocked client
A single client pointer is added in the server struct. This is
initialized by the first RM_Call() and reused for every subsequent
RM_Call() except if it's already in use, which means that it's not
used for (recursive) module calls to modules. For these, a new
"fake" client is created each time.
Other changes:
* Avoid allocating a dict iterator in pubsubUnsubscribeAllChannels
when not needed
* 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.
The added flag affects the return value of RM_HashSet() to include
the number of inserted fields, in addition to updated and deleted
fields.
errno is set on errors, tests are added and documentation updated.
- removes time sensitive checks from block on background tests during leak checks.
- fix uninitialized variable on RedisModuleBlockedClient() when calling
RM_BlockedClientMeasureTimeEnd() without RM_BlockedClientMeasureTimeStart()
Without this fix, RM_ZsetRem can leave empty sorted sets which are
not allowed to exist.
Removing from a sorted set while iterating seems to work (while
inserting causes failed assetions). RM_ZsetRangeEndReached is
modified to return 1 if the key doesn't exist, to terminate
iteration when the last element has been removed.
This commit enables tracking time of the background tasks and on replies,
opening the door for properly tracking commands that rely on blocking / background
work via the slowlog, latency history, and commandstats.
Some notes:
- The time spent blocked waiting for key changes, or blocked on synchronous
replication is not accounted for.
- **This commit does not affect latency tracking of commands that are non-blocking
or do not have background work.** ( meaning that it all stays the same with exception to
`BZPOPMIN`,`BZPOPMAX`,`BRPOP`,`BLPOP`, etc... and module's commands that rely
on background threads ).
- Specifically for latency history command we've added a new event class named
`command-unblocking` that will enable latency monitoring on commands that spawn
background threads to do the work.
- For blocking commands we're now considering the total time of a command as the
time spent on call() + the time spent on replying when unblocked.
- For Modules commands that rely on background threads we're now considering the
total time of a command as the time spent on call (main thread) + the time spent on
the background thread ( if marked within `RedisModule_MeasureTimeStart()` and
`RedisModule_MeasureTimeEnd()` ) + the time spent on replying (main thread)
To test for this feature we've added a `unit/moduleapi/blockonbackground` test that relies on
a module that blocks the client and sleeps on the background for a given time.
- check blocked command that uses RedisModule_MeasureTimeStart() is tracking background time
- check blocked command that uses RedisModule_MeasureTimeStart() is tracking background time even in timeout
- check blocked command with multiple calls RedisModule_MeasureTimeStart() is tracking the total background time
- check blocked command without calling RedisModule_MeasureTimeStart() is not reporting background time
APIs added for these stream operations: add, delete, iterate and
trim (by ID or maxlength). The functions are prefixed by RM_Stream.
* RM_StreamAdd
* RM_StreamDelete
* RM_StreamIteratorStart
* RM_StreamIteratorStop
* RM_StreamIteratorNextID
* RM_StreamIteratorNextField
* RM_StreamIteratorDelete
* RM_StreamTrimByLength
* RM_StreamTrimByID
The type RedisModuleStreamID is added and functions for converting
from and to RedisModuleString.
* RM_CreateStringFromStreamID
* RM_StringToStreamID
Whenever the stream functions return REDISMODULE_ERR, errno is set to
provide additional error information.
Refactoring: The zset iterator fields in the RedisModuleKey struct
are wrapped in a union, to allow the same space to be used for type-
specific info for streams and allow future use for other key types.
Fix broken formatting in `RM_Call` and `RM_CreateDataType`,
`RM_SubscribeToServerEvent` (nested lists, etc. in list items).
Unhide docs of `RM_LoadDataTypeFromString` and
`RM_SaveDataTypeToString` by removing blank line between docs and
function.
Clarification added to `RM__Assert`: Recommentation to use the
`RedisModule_Assert` macro instead.
All names containing underscores (variable and macro names) are
wrapped in backticks (if not already wrapped in backticks). This
prevents underscore from being interpreted as italics in some
cases.
Names including a wildcard star, e.g. RM_Defrag*(), is wrapped in
backticks (and RM replaced by RedisModule in this case). This
prevents the * from being interpreted as an italics marker.
A list item with a sublist, a paragraph and another sublist is a
combination which seems impossible to achieve with RedCarped
markdown, so the one occurrence of this is rewritten.
Various trivial changes (typos, backticks, etc.).
Ruby script:
* Replace `RM_Xyz` with `RedisModule_Xyz` in docs. (RM is correct
when refering to the C code but RedisModule is correct in the
API docs.)
* Automatic backquotes around C functions like `malloc()`.
* Turn URLs into links. The link text is the URL itself.
* Don't add backticks inside bold (**...**)
