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.
Related to #4840.
Note that when we re-enter the event loop with aeProcessEvents() we
don't process timers, nor before/after sleep callbacks, so we should
never end calling freeClientsInAsyncFreeQueue() when re-entering the
loop.
If we are going to read a large object from network
try to make it likely that it will start at c->querybuf
boundary so that we can optimize object creation
avoiding a large copy of data.
But only when the data we have not parsed is less than
or equal to ll+2. If the data length is greater than
ll+2, trimming querybuf is just a waste of time, because
at this time the querybuf contains not only our bulk.
It's easy to reproduce the that:
Time1: call `client pause 10000` on slave.
Time2: redis-benchmark -t set -r 10000 -d 33000 -n 10000.
Then slave hung after 10 seconds.
Technically speaking we don't really need to put the master client in
the clients that need to be processed, since in practice the PING
commands from the master will take care, however it is conceptually more
sane to do so.
Processing command from the master while the slave is in busy state is
not correct, however we cannot, also, just reply -BUSY to the
replication stream commands from the master. The correct solution is to
stop processing data from the master, but just accumulate the stream
into the buffers and resume the processing later.
Related to #5297.
To avoid copying buffers to create a large Redis Object which
exceeding PROTO_IOBUF_LEN 32KB, we just read the remaining data
we need, which may less than PROTO_IOBUF_LEN. But the remaining
len may be zero, if the bulklen+2 equals sdslen(c->querybuf),
in client pause context.
For example:
Time1:
python
>>> import os, socket
>>> server="127.0.0.1"
>>> port=6379
>>> data1="*3\r\n$3\r\nset\r\n$1\r\na\r\n$33000\r\n"
>>> data2="".join("x" for _ in range(33000)) + "\r\n"
>>> data3="\n\n"
>>> s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
>>> s.settimeout(10)
>>> s.connect((server, port))
>>> s.send(data1)
28
Time2:
redis-cli client pause 10000
Time3:
>>> s.send(data2)
33002
>>> s.send(data3)
2
>>> s.send(data3)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
socket.error: [Errno 104] Connection reset by peer
To fix that, we should check if remaining is greater than zero.
Function setProtocolError just records proctocol error
details in server log, set client as CLIENT_CLOSE_AFTER_REPLY.
It doesn't care about querybuf sdsrange, because we
will do it after procotol parsing.
This is an optimization for processing pipeline, we discussed a
problem in issue #5229: clients may be paused if we apply `CLIENT
PAUSE` command, and then querybuf may grow too large, the cost of
memmove in sdsrange after parsing a completed command will be
horrible. The optimization is that parsing all commands in queyrbuf
, after that we can just call sdsrange only once.
