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.
The slave sends \n keepalive messages to the master while parsing the rdb,
and later sends REPLCONF ACK once a second. rarely, the master recives both
a linefeed char and a REPLCONF in the same read, \n*3\r\n$8\r\nREPLCONF\r\n...
and it tries to trim two chars (\r\n) from the query buffer,
trimming the '*' from *3\r\n$8\r\nREPLCONF\r\n...
then the master tries to process a command starting with '3' and replies to
the slave a bunch of -ERR and one +OK.
although the slave silently ignores these (prints a log message), this corrupts
the replication offset at the slave since the slave increases the replication
offset, and the master did not.
other than the fix in processInlineBuffer, i did several other improvments
while hunting this very rare bug.
- when redis replies with "unknown command" it includes a portion of the
arguments, not just the command name. so it would be easier to understand
what was recived, in my case, on the slave side, it was -ERR, but
the "arguments" were the interesting part (containing info on the error).
- about a year ago i added code in addReplyErrorLength to print the error to
the log in case of a reply to master (since this string isn't actually
trasmitted to the master), now changed that block to print a similar log
message to indicate an error being sent from the master to the slave.
note that the slave is marked as CLIENT_SLAVE only after PSYNC was received,
so this will not cause any harm for REPLCONF, and will only indicate problems
that are gonna corrupt the replication stream anyway.
- two places were c->reply was emptied, and i wanted to reset sentlen
this is a precaution (i did not actually see such a problem), since a
non-zero sentlen will cause corruption to be transmitted on the socket.
Reading the PR gave me the opportunity to better specify what the code
was doing in places where I was not immediately sure about what was
going on. Moreover I documented the structure in server.h so that people
reading the header file will immediately understand what the structure
is useful for.
A) slave buffers didn't count internal fragmentation and sds unused space,
this caused them to induce eviction although we didn't mean for it.
B) slave buffers were consuming about twice the memory of what they actually needed.
- this was mainly due to sdsMakeRoomFor growing to twice as much as needed each time
but networking.c not storing more than 16k (partially fixed recently in 237a38737).
- besides it wasn't able to store half of the new string into one buffer and the
other half into the next (so the above mentioned fix helped mainly for small items).
- lastly, the sds buffers had up to 30% internal fragmentation that was wasted,
consumed but not used.
C) inefficient performance due to starting from a small string and reallocing many times.
what i changed:
- creating dedicated buffers for reply list, counting their size with zmalloc_size
- when creating a new reply node from, preallocate it to at least 16k.
- when appending a new reply to the buffer, first fill all the unused space of the
previous node before starting a new one.
other changes:
- expose mem_not_counted_for_evict info field for the benefit of the test suite
- add a test to make sure slave buffers are counted correctly and that they don't cause eviction
Now you can use:
addReplyError("-MYERRORCODE some message");
If the error code is omitted, the behavior is like in the past,
the generic -ERR will be used.
In case the write handler is already installed, it could happen that we
serve the reply of a query in the same event loop cycle we received it,
preventing beforeSleep() from guaranteeing that we do the AOF fsync
before sending the reply to the client.
The AE_BARRIER mechanism, introduced in a previous commit, prevents this
problem. This commit makes actual use of this new feature to fix the
bug.
When feeding the master with a high rate traffic the the slave's feed is much slower.
This causes the replication buffer to grow (indefinitely) which leads to slave disconnection.
The problem is that writeToClient() decides to stop writing after NET_MAX_WRITES_PER_EVENT
writes (In order to be fair to clients).
We should ignore this when the client is a slave.
It's better if clients wait longer, the alternative is that the slave has no chance to stay in
sync in this situation.
- protocol parsing (processMultibulkBuffer) was limitted to 32big positions in the buffer
readQueryFromClient potential overflow
- rioWriteBulkCount used int, although rioWriteBulkString gave it size_t
- several places in sds.c that used int for string length or index.
- bugfix in RM_SaveAuxField (return was 1 or -1 and not length)
- RM_SaveStringBuffer was limitted to 32bit length
The main change introduced by this commit is pretending that help
arrays are more text than code, thus indenting them at level 0. This
improves readability, and is an old practice when defining arrays of
C strings describing text.
Additionally a few useless return statements are removed, and the HELP
subcommand capitalized when printed to the user.
We have this operation in two places: when caching the master and
when linking a new client after the client creation. By having an API
for this we avoid incurring in errors when modifying one of the two
places forgetting the other. The function is also a good place where to
document why we cache the linked list node.
Related to #4497 and #4210.
This adds a new `addReplyHelp` helper that's used by commands
when returning a help text. The following commands have been
touched: DEBUG, OBJECT, COMMAND, PUBSUB, SCRIPT and SLOWLOG.
WIP
Fix entry command table entry for OBJECT for HELP option.
After #4472 the command may have just 2 arguments.
Improve OBJECT HELP descriptions.
See #4472.
