We can see that the past time here happens to be busy_time_limit,
causing the test to fail:
```
[err]: RM_Call from blocked client in tests/unit/moduleapi/blockedclient.tcl
Expected '50' to be more than '50' (context: type eval line 26 cmd {assert_morethan [expr [clock clicks -milliseconds]-$start] $busy_time_limit} proc ::test)
```
It is reasonable for them to be equal, so equal is added here.
It should be noted that in the previous `Busy module command` test,
we also used assert_morethan_equal, so this should have been missed
at the time.
When we use a timer to unblock a client in module, if the timer
period and the block timeout are very close, they will unblock the
client in the same event loop, and it will trigger the assertion.
The reason is that in moduleBlockedClientTimedOut we will protect
against re-processing, so we don't actually call updateStatsOnUnblock
(see #12817), so we are not able to reset the c->duration.
The reason is unblockClientOnTimeout() didn't realize that bc had
been unblocked. We add a function to the module to determine if bc
is blocked, and then use it in unblockClientOnTimeout() to exit.
There is the stack:
```
beforeSleep
blockedBeforeSleep
handleBlockedClientsTimeout
checkBlockedClientTimeout
unblockClientOnTimeout
unblockClient
resetClient
-- assertion, crash the server
'c->duration == 0' is not true
```
The block timeout is passed in the test case, but we do not pass
in the timeout_callback, and it will crash when unlocking. In this
case, in moduleBlockedClientTimedOut we will check timeout_callback.
There is the stack:
```
beforeSleep
blockedBeforeSleep
handleBlockedClientsTimeout
checkBlockedClientTimeout
unblockClientOnTimeout
replyToBlockedClientTimedOut
moduleBlockedClientTimedOut
-- timeout_callback is NULL, invalidFunctionWasCalled
bc->timeout_callback(&ctx,(void**)c->argv,c->argc);
```
Apart from adding the missing coverage, this PR also adds `blockedBeforeSleep`
that gathers all block-related functions from `beforeSleep`
The order inside `blockedBeforeSleep` is different: now `handleClientsBlockedOnKeys`
(which may unblock clients) is called before `processUnblockedClients` (which handles
unblocked clients).
It makes sense to have this order.
There are no visible effects of the wrong ordering, except some cleanups of the now-unblocked
client would have happen in the next `beforeSleep` (will now happen in the current one)
The reason we even got into it is because i triggers an assertion in logresreq.c (breaking
the assumption that `unblockClient` is called **before** actually flushing the reply to the socket):
`handleClientsBlockedOnKeys` is called, then it calls `moduleUnblockClientOnKey`, which calls
`moduleUnblockClient`, which adds the client to `moduleUnblockedClients` back to `beforeSleep`,
we call `handleClientsWithPendingWritesUsingThreads`, it writes the data of buf to the client, so
`client->bufpos` became 0
On the next `beforeSleep`, we call `moduleHandleBlockedClients`, which calls `unblockClient`,
which calls `reqresAppendResponse`, triggering the assert. (because the `bufpos` is 0) - see https://github.com/redis/redis/pull/12301#discussion_r1226386716
So far clients being blocked and unblocked by a module command would
update the c->woff variable and so WAIT was ineffective and got released
without waiting for the command actions to propagate.
This seems to have existed since forever, but not for RM_BlockClientOnKeys.
It is problematic though to know if the module did or didn't propagate
anything in that command, so for now, instead of adding an API, we'll
just update the woff to the latest offset when unblocking, this will
cause the client to possibly wait excessively, but that's not that bad.
Work in progress towards implementing a reply schema as part of COMMAND DOCS, see #9845
Since ironing the details of the reply schema of each and every command can take a long time, we
would like to merge this PR when the infrastructure is ready, and let this mature in the unstable branch.
Meanwhile the changes of this PR are internal, they are part of the repo, but do not affect the produced build.
### Background
In #9656 we add a lot of information about Redis commands, but we are missing information about the replies
### Motivation
1. Documentation. This is the primary goal.
2. It should be possible, based on the output of COMMAND, to be able to generate client code in typed
languages. In order to do that, we need Redis to tell us, in detail, what each reply looks like.
3. We would like to build a fuzzer that verifies the reply structure (for now we use the existing
testsuite, see the "Testing" section)
### Schema
The idea is to supply some sort of schema for the various replies of each command.
The schema will describe the conceptual structure of the reply (for generated clients), as defined in RESP3.
Note that the reply structure itself may change, depending on the arguments (e.g. `XINFO STREAM`, with
and without the `FULL` modifier)
We decided to use the standard json-schema (see https://json-schema.org/) as the reply-schema.
Example for `BZPOPMIN`:
```
"reply_schema": {
"oneOf": [
{
"description": "Timeout reached and no elements were popped.",
"type": "null"
},
{
"description": "The keyname, popped member, and its score.",
"type": "array",
"minItems": 3,
"maxItems": 3,
"items": [
{
"description": "Keyname",
"type": "string"
},
{
"description": "Member",
"type": "string"
},
{
"description": "Score",
"type": "number"
}
]
}
]
}
```
#### Notes
1. It is ok that some commands' reply structure depends on the arguments and it's the caller's responsibility
to know which is the relevant one. this comes after looking at other request-reply systems like OpenAPI,
where the reply schema can also be oneOf and the caller is responsible to know which schema is the relevant one.
2. The reply schemas will describe RESP3 replies only. even though RESP3 is structured, we want to use reply
schema for documentation (and possibly to create a fuzzer that validates the replies)
3. For documentation, the description field will include an explanation of the scenario in which the reply is sent,
including any relation to arguments. for example, for `ZRANGE`'s two schemas we will need to state that one
is with `WITHSCORES` and the other is without.
4. For documentation, there will be another optional field "notes" in which we will add a short description of
the representation in RESP2, in case it's not trivial (RESP3's `ZRANGE`'s nested array vs. RESP2's flat
array, for example)
Given the above:
1. We can generate the "return" section of all commands in [redis-doc](https://redis.io/commands/)
(given that "description" and "notes" are comprehensive enough)
2. We can generate a client in a strongly typed language (but the return type could be a conceptual
`union` and the caller needs to know which schema is relevant). see the section below for RESP2 support.
3. We can create a fuzzer for RESP3.
### Limitations (because we are using the standard json-schema)
The problem is that Redis' replies are more diverse than what the json format allows. This means that,
when we convert the reply to a json (in order to validate the schema against it), we lose information (see
the "Testing" section below).
The other option would have been to extend the standard json-schema (and json format) to include stuff
like sets, bulk-strings, error-string, etc. but that would mean also extending the schema-validator - and that
seemed like too much work, so we decided to compromise.
Examples:
1. We cannot tell the difference between an "array" and a "set"
2. We cannot tell the difference between simple-string and bulk-string
3. we cannot verify true uniqueness of items in commands like ZRANGE: json-schema doesn't cover the
case of two identical members with different scores (e.g. `[["m1",6],["m1",7]]`) because `uniqueItems`
compares (member,score) tuples and not just the member name.
### Testing
This commit includes some changes inside Redis in order to verify the schemas (existing and future ones)
are indeed correct (i.e. describe the actual response of Redis).
To do that, we added a debugging feature to Redis that causes it to produce a log of all the commands
it executed and their replies.
For that, Redis needs to be compiled with `-DLOG_REQ_RES` and run with
`--reg-res-logfile <file> --client-default-resp 3` (the testsuite already does that if you run it with
`--log-req-res --force-resp3`)
You should run the testsuite with the above args (and `--dont-clean`) in order to make Redis generate
`.reqres` files (same dir as the `stdout` files) which contain request-response pairs.
These files are later on processed by `./utils/req-res-log-validator.py` which does:
1. Goes over req-res files, generated by redis-servers, spawned by the testsuite (see logreqres.c)
2. For each request-response pair, it validates the response against the request's reply_schema
(obtained from the extended COMMAND DOCS)
5. In order to get good coverage of the Redis commands, and all their different replies, we chose to use
the existing redis test suite, rather than attempt to write a fuzzer.
#### Notes about RESP2
1. We will not be able to use the testing tool to verify RESP2 replies (we are ok with that, it's time to
accept RESP3 as the future RESP)
2. Since the majority of the test suite is using RESP2, and we want the server to reply with RESP3
so that we can validate it, we will need to know how to convert the actual reply to the one expected.
- number and boolean are always strings in RESP2 so the conversion is easy
- objects (maps) are always a flat array in RESP2
- others (nested array in RESP3's `ZRANGE` and others) will need some special per-command
handling (so the client will not be totally auto-generated)
Example for ZRANGE:
```
"reply_schema": {
"anyOf": [
{
"description": "A list of member elements",
"type": "array",
"uniqueItems": true,
"items": {
"type": "string"
}
},
{
"description": "Members and their scores. Returned in case `WITHSCORES` was used.",
"notes": "In RESP2 this is returned as a flat array",
"type": "array",
"uniqueItems": true,
"items": {
"type": "array",
"minItems": 2,
"maxItems": 2,
"items": [
{
"description": "Member",
"type": "string"
},
{
"description": "Score",
"type": "number"
}
]
}
}
]
}
```
### Other changes
1. Some tests that behave differently depending on the RESP are now being tested for both RESP,
regardless of the special log-req-res mode ("Pub/Sub PING" for example)
2. Update the history field of CLIENT LIST
3. Added basic tests for commands that were not covered at all by the testsuite
### TODO
- [x] (maybe a different PR) add a "condition" field to anyOf/oneOf schemas that refers to args. e.g.
when `SET` return NULL, the condition is `arguments.get||arguments.condition`, for `OK` the condition
is `!arguments.get`, and for `string` the condition is `arguments.get` - https://github.com/redis/redis/issues/11896
- [x] (maybe a different PR) also run `runtest-cluster` in the req-res logging mode
- [x] add the new tests to GH actions (i.e. compile with `-DLOG_REQ_RES`, run the tests, and run the validator)
- [x] (maybe a different PR) figure out a way to warn about (sub)schemas that are uncovered by the output
of the tests - https://github.com/redis/redis/issues/11897
- [x] (probably a separate PR) add all missing schemas
- [x] check why "SDOWN is triggered by misconfigured instance replying with errors" fails with --log-req-res
- [x] move the response transformers to their own file (run both regular, cluster, and sentinel tests - need to
fight with the tcl including mechanism a bit)
- [x] issue: module API - https://github.com/redis/redis/issues/11898
- [x] (probably a separate PR): improve schemas: add `required` to `object`s - https://github.com/redis/redis/issues/11899

The PR fixes 2 issues:
### RM_Call crash on script mode
`RM_Call` can potentially be called from a background thread where `server.current_client`
are not set. In such case we get a crash on `NULL` dereference.
The fix is to check first if `server.current_client` is `NULL`, if it does we should
verify disc errors and readonly replica as we do to any normal clients (no masters nor AOF).
### RM_Call block OOM commands when not needed
Again `RM_Call` can be executed on a background thread using a `ThreadSafeCtx`.
In such case `server.pre_command_oom_state` can be irrelevant and should not be
considered when check OOM state. This cause OOM commands to be blocked when
not necessarily needed.
In such case, check the actual used memory (and not the cached value). Notice that in
order to know if the cached value can be used, we check that the ctx that was used on
the `RM_Call` is a ThreadSafeCtx. Module writer can potentially abuse the API and use
ThreadSafeCtx on the main thread. We consider this as a API miss used.
1. Disk error and slave count checks didn't flag the transactions or counted correctly in command stats (regression from #10372 , 7.0 RC3)
2. RM_Call will reply the same way Redis does, in case of non-exisitng command or arity error
3. RM_WrongArtiy will consider the full command name
4. Use lowercase 'u' in "unknonw subcommand" (to align with "unknown command")
Followup work of #10127
RM_Yield was missing a call to protectClient to prevent redis from
processing future commands of the yielding client.
Adding tests that fail without this fix.
This would be complicated to solve since nested calls to RM_Call used to
replace the current_client variable with the module temp client.
It looks like it's no longer necessary to do that, since it was added
back in #9890 to solve two issues, both already gone:
1. call to CONFIG SET maxmemory could trigger a module hook calling
RM_Call. although this specific issue is gone, arguably other hooks
like keyspace notification, can do the same.
2. an assertion in lookupKey that checks the current command of the
current client, introduced in #9572 and removed in #10248
The bug was when using REDISMODULE_YIELD_FLAG_CLIENTS.
in that case we would have only set the CLIENTS type flag in
server.busy_module_yield_flags and then clear that flag when exiting
RM_Yield, so we would never call unblockPostponedClients when the
context is destroyed.
This didn't really have any actual implication, which is why the tests
couldn't (and still can't) find that since the bug only happens when
using CLIENT, but in this case we won't have any clients to un-postpone
i.e. clients will get rejected with BUSY error, rather than being
postponed.
Unrelated:
* Adding tests for nested contexts, just in case.
* Avoid nested RM_Yield calls
The PR extends RM_Call with 3 new capabilities using new flags that
are given to RM_Call as part of the `fmt` argument.
It aims to assist modules that are getting a list of commands to be
executed from the user (not hard coded as part of the module logic),
think of a module that implements a new scripting language...
* `S` - Run the command in a script mode, this means that it will raise an
error if a command which are not allowed inside a script (flaged with the
`deny-script` flag) is invoked (like SHUTDOWN). In addition, on script mode,
write commands are not allowed if there is not enough good replicas (as
configured with `min-replicas-to-write`) and/or a disk error happened.
* `W` - no writes mode, Redis will reject any command that is marked with `write`
flag. Again can be useful to modules that implement a new scripting language
and wants to prevent any write commands.
* `E` - Return errors as RedisModuleCallReply. Today the errors that happened
before the command was invoked (like unknown commands or acl error) return
a NULL reply and set errno. This might be missing important information about
the failure and it is also impossible to just pass the error to the user using
RM_ReplyWithCallReply. This new flag allows you to get a RedisModuleCallReply
object with the relevant error message and treat it as if it was an error that was
raised by the command invocation.
Tests were added to verify the new code paths.
In addition small refactoring was done to share some code between modules,
scripts, and `processCommand` function:
1. `getAclErrorMessage` was added to `acl.c` to unified to log message extraction
from the acl result
2. `checkGoodReplicasStatus` was added to `replication.c` to check the status of
good replicas. It is used on `scriptVerifyWriteCommandAllow`, `RM_Call`, and
`processCommand`.
3. `writeCommandsGetDiskErrorMessage` was added to `server.c` to get the error
message on persistence failure. Again it is used on `scriptVerifyWriteCommandAllow`,
`RM_Call`, and `processCommand`.
This is a followup work for #10278, and a discussion about #10279
The changes:
- fix failed_calls in command stats for blocked clients that got error.
including CLIENT UNBLOCK, and module replying an error from a thread.
- fix latency stats for XREADGROUP that filed with -NOGROUP
Theory behind which errors should be counted:
- error stats represents errors returned to the user, so an error handled by a
module should not be counted.
- total error counter should be the same.
- command stats represents execution of commands (even with RM_Call, and if
they fail or get rejected it counts these calls in commandstats, so it should
also count failed_calls)
Some thoughts about Scripts:
for scripts it could be different since they're part of user code, not the infra (not an extension to redis)
we certainly want commandstats to contain all calls and errors
a simple script is like mult-exec transaction so an error inside it should be counted in error stats
a script that replies with an error to the user (using redis.error_reply) should also be counted in error stats
but then the problem is that a plain `return redis.call("SET")` should not be counted twice (once for the SET
and once for EVAL)
so that's something left to be resolved in #10279
This PR handles several aspects
1. Calls to RM_ReplyWithError from thread safe contexts don't violate thread safety.
2. Errors returning from RM_Call to the module aren't counted in the statistics (they
might be handled silently by the module)
3. When a module propagates a reply it got from RM_Call to it's client, then the error
statistics are counted.
This is done by:
1. When appending an error reply to the output buffer, we avoid updating the global
error statistics, instead we cache that error in a deferred list in the client struct.
2. When creating a RedisModuleCallReply object, the deferred error list is moved from
the client into that object.
3. when a module calls RM_ReplyWithCallReply we copy the deferred replies to the dest
client (if that's a real client, then that's when the error statistics are updated to the server)
Note about RM_ReplyWithCallReply: if the original reply had an array with errors, and the module
replied with just a portion of the original reply, and not the entire reply, the errors are currently not
propagated and the errors stats will not get propagated.
Fix#10180
Summary of changes:
1. Rename `redisCommand->name` to `redisCommand->declared_name`, it is a
const char * for native commands and SDS for module commands.
2. Store the [sub]command fullname in `redisCommand->fullname` (sds).
3. List subcommands in `ACL CAT`
4. List subcommands in `COMMAND LIST`
5. `moduleUnregisterCommands` now will also free the module subcommands.
6. RM_GetCurrentCommandName returns full command name
Other changes:
1. Add `addReplyErrorArity` and `addReplyErrorExpireTime`
2. Remove `getFullCommandName` function that now is useless.
3. Some cleanups about `fullname` since now it is SDS.
4. Delete `populateSingleCommand` function from server.h that is useless.
5. Added tests to cover this change.
6. Add some module unload tests and fix the leaks
7. Make error messages uniform, make sure they always contain the full command
name and that it's quoted.
7. Fixes some typos
see the history in #9504, fixes#10124

Some modules might perform a long-running logic in different stages of Redis lifetime, for example:
* command execution
* RDB loading
* thread safe context
During this long-running logic Redis is not responsive.
This PR offers
1. An API to process events while a busy command is running (`RM_Yield`)
2. A new flag (`ALLOW_BUSY`) to mark the commands that should be handled during busy
jobs which can also be used by modules (`allow-busy`)
3. In slow commands and thread safe contexts, this flag will start rejecting commands with -BUSY only
after `busy-reply-threshold`
4. During loading (`rdb_load` callback), it'll process events right away (not wait for `busy-reply-threshold`),
but either way, the processing is throttled to the server hz rate.
5. Allow modules to Yield to redis background tasks, but not to client commands
* rename `script-time-limit` to `busy-reply-threshold` (an alias to the pre-7.0 `lua-time-limit`)

Before this commit, module blocked clients did not carry through the original RESP version, resulting with RESP3 clients receiving unexpected RESP2 replies.
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.
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.
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.

* Introduce a new API's: RM_GetContextFlagsAll, and
RM_GetKeyspaceNotificationFlagsAll that will return the
full flags mask of each feature. The module writer can
check base on this value if the Flags he needs are
supported or not.
* For each flag, introduce a new value on redismodule.h,
this value represents the LAST value and should be there
as a reminder to update it when a new value is added,
also it will be used in the code to calculate the full
flags mask (assuming flags are incrementally increasing).
In addition, stated that the module writer should not use
the LAST flag directly and he should use the GetFlagAll API's.
* Introduce a new API: RM_IsSubEventSupported, that returns for a given
event and subevent, whether or not the subevent supported.
* Introduce a new macro RMAPI_FUNC_SUPPORTED(func) that returns whether
or not a function API is supported by comparing it to NULL.
* Introduce a new API: int RM_GetServerVersion();, that will return the
current Redis version in the format 0x00MMmmpp; e.g. 0x00060008;
* Changed unstable version from 999.999.999 to 255.255.255
