In both tests, "diskless loading short read" and "diskless loading short read with module",
the timeout of waiting for the replica to respond to a short read and log it, is too short.
Also, add --dump-logs in runtest-moduleapi for valgrind runs.
For diskless replication in swapdb mode, considering we already spend replica memory
having a backup of current db to restore in case of failure, we can have the following benefits
by instead swapping database only in case we succeeded in transferring db from master:
- Avoid `LOADING` response during failed and successful synchronization for cases where the
replica is already up and running with data.
- Faster total time of diskless replication, because now we're moving from Transfer + Flush + Load
time to Transfer + Load only. Flushing the tempDb is done asynchronously after swapping.
- This could be implemented also for disk replication with similar benefits if consumers are willing
to spend the extra memory usage.
General notes:
- The concept of `backupDb` becomes `tempDb` for clarity.
- Async loading mode will only kick in if the replica is syncing from a master that has the same
repl-id the one it had before. i.e. the data it's getting belongs to a different time of the same timeline.
- New property in INFO: `async_loading` to differentiate from the blocking loading
- Slot to Key mapping is now a field of `redisDb` as it's more natural to access it from both server.db
and the tempDb that is passed around.
- Because this is affecting replicas only, we assume that if they are not readonly and write commands
during replication, they are lost after SYNC same way as before, but we're still denying CONFIG SET
here anyways to avoid complications.
Considerations for review:
- We have many cases where server.loading flag is used and even though I tried my best, there may
be cases where async_loading should be checked as well and cases where it shouldn't (would require
very good understanding of whole code)
- Several places that had different behavior depending on the loading flag where actually meant to just
handle commands coming from the AOF client differently than ones coming from real clients, changed
to check CLIENT_ID_AOF instead.
**Additional for Release Notes**
- Bugfix - server.dirty was not incremented for any kind of diskless replication, as effect it wouldn't
contribute on triggering next database SAVE
- New flag for RM_GetContextFlags module API: REDISMODULE_CTX_FLAGS_ASYNC_LOADING
- Deprecated RedisModuleEvent_ReplBackup. Starting from Redis 7.0, we don't fire this event.
Instead, we have the new RedisModuleEvent_ReplAsyncLoad holding 3 sub-events: STARTED,
ABORTED and COMPLETED.
- New module flag REDISMODULE_OPTIONS_HANDLE_REPL_ASYNC_LOAD for RedisModule_SetModuleOptions
to allow modules to declare they support the diskless replication with async loading (when absent, we fall
back to disk-based loading).

When repl-diskless-load is enabled, the connection is set to the blocking state.
The connection may be interrupted by a signal during a system call.
This would have resulted in a disconnection and possibly a reconnection loop.

So it looks like sampling set loglines [count_log_lines -2] was
executed too late, and the replication managed to complete before that.
```
*** [err]: diskless no replicas drop during rdb pipe in tests/integration/replication.tcl
log message of '"*Diskless rdb transfer, done reading from pipe, 2 replicas still up*"' not found in ./tests/tmp/server.6124.69/stdout after line: 52 till line: 52
```
Changes:
1. when we search the master log file, we start to search from before we sent the REPLICAOF
command, to prevent a race in which the replication completed before we sampled the log line count.
2. we don't need to sample the replica loglines sine it's a fresh resplica that's just been started, so the message
we're looking for is the first occurrence in the log, we can start search from 0.

## Background
For redis master, one replica uses one copy of replication buffer, that is a big waste of memory,
more replicas more waste, and allocate/free memory for every reply list also cost much.
If we set client-output-buffer-limit small and write traffic is heavy, master may disconnect with
replicas and can't finish synchronization with replica. If we set client-output-buffer-limit big,
master may be OOM when there are many replicas that separately keep much memory.
Because replication buffers of different replica client are the same, one simple idea is that
all replicas only use one replication buffer, that will effectively save memory.
Since replication backlog content is the same as replicas' output buffer, now we
can discard replication backlog memory and use global shared replication buffer
to implement replication backlog mechanism.
## Implementation
I create one global "replication buffer" which contains content of replication stream.
The structure of "replication buffer" is similar to the reply list that exists in every client.
But the node of list is `replBufBlock`, which has `id, repl_offset, refcount` fields.
```c
/* Replication buffer blocks is the list of replBufBlock.
*
* +--------------+ +--------------+ +--------------+
* | refcount = 1 | ... | refcount = 0 | ... | refcount = 2 |
* +--------------+ +--------------+ +--------------+
* | / \
* | / \
* | / \
* Repl Backlog Replia_A Replia_B
*
* Each replica or replication backlog increments only the refcount of the
* 'ref_repl_buf_node' which it points to. So when replica walks to the next
* node, it should first increase the next node's refcount, and when we trim
* the replication buffer nodes, we remove node always from the head node which
* refcount is 0. If the refcount of the head node is not 0, we must stop
* trimming and never iterate the next node. */
/* Similar with 'clientReplyBlock', it is used for shared buffers between
* all replica clients and replication backlog. */
typedef struct replBufBlock {
int refcount; /* Number of replicas or repl backlog using. */
long long id; /* The unique incremental number. */
long long repl_offset; /* Start replication offset of the block. */
size_t size, used;
char buf[];
} replBufBlock;
```
So now when we feed replication stream into replication backlog and all replicas, we only need
to feed stream into replication buffer `feedReplicationBuffer`. In this function, we set some fields of
replication backlog and replicas to references of the global replication buffer blocks. And we also
need to check replicas' output buffer limit to free if exceeding `client-output-buffer-limit`, and trim
replication backlog if exceeding `repl-backlog-size`.
When sending reply to replicas, we also need to iterate replication buffer blocks and send its
content, when totally sending one block for replica, we decrease current node count and
increase the next current node count, and then free the block which reference is 0 from the
head of replication buffer blocks.
Since now we use linked list to manage replication backlog, it may cost much time for iterating
all linked list nodes to find corresponding replication buffer node. So we create a rax tree to
store some nodes for index, but to avoid rax tree occupying too much memory, i record
one per 64 nodes for index.
Currently, to make partial resynchronization as possible as much, we always let replication
backlog as the last reference of replication buffer blocks, backlog size may exceeds our setting
if slow replicas that reference vast replication buffer blocks, and this method doesn't increase
memory usage since they share replication buffer. To avoid freezing server for freeing unreferenced
replication buffer blocks when we need to trim backlog for exceeding backlog size setting,
we trim backlog incrementally (free 64 blocks per call now), and make it faster in
`beforeSleep` (free 640 blocks).
### Other changes
- `mem_total_replication_buffers`: we add this field in INFO command, it means the total
memory of replication buffers used.
- `mem_clients_slaves`: now even replica is slow to replicate, and its output buffer memory
is not 0, but it still may be 0, since replication backlog and replicas share one global replication
buffer, only if replication buffer memory is more than the repl backlog setting size, we consider
the excess as replicas' memory. Otherwise, we think replication buffer memory is the consumption
of repl backlog.
- Key eviction
Since all replicas and replication backlog share global replication buffer, we think only the
part of exceeding backlog size the extra separate consumption of replicas.
Because we trim backlog incrementally in the background, backlog size may exceeds our
setting if slow replicas that reference vast replication buffer blocks disconnect.
To avoid massive eviction loop, we don't count the delayed freed replication backlog into
used memory even if there are no replicas, i.e. we also regard this memory as replicas's memory.
- `client-output-buffer-limit` check for replica clients
It doesn't make sense to set the replica clients output buffer limit lower than the repl-backlog-size
config (partial sync will succeed and then replica will get disconnected). Such a configuration is
ignored (the size of repl-backlog-size will be used). This doesn't have memory consumption
implications since the replica client will share the backlog buffers memory.
- Drop replication backlog after loading data if needed
We always create replication backlog if server is a master, we need it because we put DELs in
it when loading expired keys in RDB, but if RDB doesn't have replication info or there is no rdb,
it is not possible to support partial resynchronization, to avoid extra memory of replication backlog,
we drop it.
- Multi IO threads
Since all replicas and replication backlog use global replication buffer, if I/O threads are enabled,
to guarantee data accessing thread safe, we must let main thread handle sending the output buffer
to all replicas. But before, other IO threads could handle sending output buffer of all replicas.
## Other optimizations
This solution resolve some other problem:
- When replicas disconnect with master since of out of output buffer limit, releasing the output
buffer of replicas may freeze server if we set big `client-output-buffer-limit` for replicas, but now,
it doesn't cause freezing.
- This implementation may mitigate reply list copy cost time(also freezes server) when one replication
has huge reply buffer and another replica can copy buffer for full synchronization. now, we just copy
reference info, it is very light.
- If we set replication backlog size big, it also may cost much time to copy replication backlog into
replica's output buffer. But this commit eliminates this problem.
- Resizing replication backlog size doesn't empty current replication backlog content.
in the past few days i've seen two failures in the valgrind daily test.
*** [err]: slave fails full sync and diskless load swapdb recovers it in tests/integration/replication.tcl
Replica didn't get into loading mode
can't reproduce it, but i'm hoping it's just too slow (to start loading within 5 seconds)
* Delay to discard cache master when full synchronization
* Don't disconnect with replicas before loading transferred RDB when full sync
Previously, once replica need to start full synchronization with master,
it will discard cached master whatever full synchronization is failed or
not.
Now we discard cached master only when transferring RDB is finished
and start to change data space, this make replica could start partial
resynchronization with another new master if new master is failed
during full synchronization.
# replication-3.tcl
had a test timeout failure with valgrind on daily CI:
```
*** [err]: SLAVE can reload "lua" AUX RDB fields of duplicated scripts in tests/integration/replication-3.tcl
Replication not started.
```
replication took more than 70 seconds.
https://github.com/redis/redis/runs/2854037905?check_suite_focus=true
on my machine it takes only about 30, but i can see how 50 seconds isn't enough.
# replication.tcl
loading was over too quickly in freebsd daily CI:

increase the time loading takes, and decrease the amount of work we try to achieve in that time.
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`
This commit revives the improves the ability to run the test suite against
external servers, instead of launching and managing `redis-server` processes as
part of the test fixture.
This capability existed in the past, using the `--host` and `--port` options.
However, it was quite limited and mostly useful when running a specific tests.
Attempting to run larger chunks of the test suite experienced many issues:
* Many tests depend on being able to start and control `redis-server` themselves,
and there's no clear distinction between external server compatible and other
tests.
* Cluster mode is not supported (resulting with `CROSSSLOT` errors).
This PR cleans up many things and makes it possible to run the entire test suite
against an external server. It also provides more fine grained controls to
handle cases where the external server supports a subset of the Redis commands,
limited number of databases, cluster mode, etc.
The tests directory now contains a `README.md` file that describes how this
works.
This commit also includes additional cleanups and fixes:
* Tests can now be tagged.
* Tag-based selection is now unified across `start_server`, `tags` and `test`.
* More information is provided about skipped or ignored tests.
* Repeated patterns in tests have been extracted to common procedures, both at a
global level and on a per-test file basis.
* Cleaned up some cases where test setup was based on a previous test executing
(a major anti-pattern that repeats itself in many places).
* Cleaned up some cases where test teardown was not part of a test (in the
future we should have dedicated teardown code that executes even when tests
fail).
* Fixed some tests that were flaky running on external servers.
In diskless replication, we create a read pipe for the RDB, between the child and the parent.
When we close this pipe (fd), the read handler also needs to be removed from the event loop (if it still registered).
Otherwise, next time we will use the same fd, the registration will be fail (panic), because
we will use EPOLL_CTL_MOD (the fd still register in the event loop), on fd that already removed from epoll_ctl
When test stop 'load handler' by killing the process that generating the load,
some commands that already in the input buffer, still might be processed by the server.
This may cause some instability in tests, that count on that no more commands
processed after we stop the `load handler'
In this commit, new proc 'wait_load_handlers_disconnected' added, to verify that no more
cammands from any 'load handler' prossesed, by checking that the clients who
genreate the load is disconnceted.
Also, replacing check of dbsize with wait_for_ofs_sync before comparing debug digest, as
it would fail in case the last key the workload wrote was an overridden key (not a new one).
Affected tests
Race fix:
- failover command to specific replica works
- Connect multiple replicas at the same time (issue #141), master diskless=$mdl, replica diskless=$sdl
- AOF rewrite during write load: RDB preamble=$rdbpre
Cleanup and speedup:
- Test replication with blocking lists and sorted sets operations
- Test replication with parallel clients writing in different DBs
- Test replication partial resync: $descr (diskless: $mdl, $sdl, reconnect: $reconnect
In github actions CI with valgrind, i saw that even the fast replica
(one that wasn't paused), didn't get to complete the replication fast
enough, and ended up getting disconnected by timeout.
Additionally, due to a typo in uname, we didn't get to actually run the
CPU efficiency part of the test.
Starting redis 6.0 (part of the TLS feature), diskless master uses pipe from the fork
child so that the parent is the one sending data to the replicas.
This mechanism has an issue in which a hung replica will cause the master to wait
for it to read the data sent to it forever, thus preventing the fork child from terminating
and preventing the creations of any other forks.
This PR adds a timeout mechanism, much like the ACK-based timeout,
we disconnect replicas that aren't reading the RDB file fast enough.
Since redis 6.2, redis immediately tries to connect to the master, not
waiting for replication cron.
in the slow freebsd CI, this test failed and master_link_status was
already "up" when INFO was called.
This adds basic coverage to IO threads by running the cluster and few selected Redis test suite tests with the IO threads enabled.
Also provides some necessary additional improvements to the test suite:
* Add --config to sentinel/cluster tests for arbitrary configuration.
* Fix --tags whitelisting which was broken.
* Add a `network` tag to some tests that are more network intensive. This is work in progress and more tests should be properly tagged in the future.
Adding [B]LMOVE <src> <dst> RIGHT|LEFT RIGHT|LEFT. deprecating [B]RPOPLPUSH.
Note that when receiving a BRPOPLPUSH we'll still propagate an RPOPLPUSH,
but on BLMOVE RIGHT LEFT we'll propagate an LMOVE
improvement to existing tests
- Replace "after 1000" with "wait_for_condition" when wait for
clients to block/unblock.
- Add a pre-existing element to target list on basic tests so
that we can check if the new element was added to the correct
side of the list.
- check command stats on the replica to make sure the right
command was replicated

When all replicas waiting for a bgsave get disconnected (possibly due to output buffer limit),
It may be good to kill the bgsave child. in diskless replication it already happens, but in
disk-based, the child may still serve some purpose (for persistence).
By killing the child, we prevent it from eating COW memory in vain, and we also allow a new child fork sooner for the next full synchronization or bgsave.
We do that only if rdb persistence wasn't enabled in the configuration.
Btw, now, rdbRemoveTempFile in killRDBChild won't block server, so we can killRDBChild safely.
Starting redis 6.0 and the changes we made to the diskless master to be
suitable for TLS, I made the master avoid reaping (wait3) the pid of the
child until we know all replicas are done reading their rdb.
I did that in order to avoid a state where the rdb_child_pid is -1 but
we don't yet want to start another fork (still busy serving that data to
replicas).
It turns out that the solution used so far was problematic in case the
fork child was being killed (e.g. by the kernel OOM killer), in that
case there's a chance that we currently disabled the read event on the
rdb pipe, since we're waiting for a replica to become writable again.
and in that scenario the master would have never realized the child
exited, and the replica will remain hung too.
Note that there's no mechanism to detect a hung replica while it's in
rdb transfer state.
The solution here is to add another pipe which is used by the parent to
tell the child it is safe to exit. this mean that when the child exits,
for whatever reason, it is safe to reap it.
Besides that, i'm re-introducing an adjustment to REPLCONF ACK which was
part of #6271 (Accelerate diskless master connections) but was dropped
when that PR was rebased after the TLS fork/pipe changes (5a47794).
Now that RdbPipeCleanup no longer calls checkChildrenDone, and the ACK
has chance to detect that the child exited, it should be the one to call
it so that we don't have to wait for cron (server.hz) to do that.
Diskless master has some inherent latencies.
1) fork starts with delay from cron rather than immediately
2) replica is put online only after an ACK. but the ACK
was sent only once a second.
3) but even if it would arrive immediately, it will not
register in case cron didn't yet detect that the fork is done.
Besides that, when a replica disconnects, it doesn't immediately
attempts to re-connect, it waits for replication cron (one per second).
in case it was already online, it may be important to try to re-connect
as soon as possible, so that the backlog at the master doesn't vanish.
In case it disconnected during rdb transfer, one can argue that it's
not very important to re-connect immediately, but this is needed for the
"diskless loading short read" test to be able to run 100 iterations in 5
seconds, rather than 3 (waiting for replication cron re-connection)
changes in this commit:
1) sync command starts a fork immediately if no sync_delay is configured
2) replica sends REPLCONF ACK when done reading the rdb (rather than on 1s cron)
3) when a replica unexpectedly disconnets, it immediately tries to
re-connect rather than waiting 1s
4) when when a child exits, if there is another replica waiting, we spawn a new
one right away, instead of waiting for 1s replicationCron.
5) added a call to connectWithMaster from replicationSetMaster. which is called
from the REPLICAOF command but also in 3 places in cluster.c, in all of
these the connection attempt will now be immediate instead of delayed by 1
second.
side note:
we can add a call to rdbPipeReadHandler in replconfCommand when getting
a REPLCONF ACK from the replica to solve a race where the replica got
the entire rdb and EOF marker before we detected that the pipe was
closed.
in the test i did see this race happens in one about of some 300 runs,
but i concluded that this race is unlikely in real life (where the
replica is on another host and we're more likely to first detect the
pipe was closed.
the test runs 100 iterations in 3 seconds, so in some cases it'll take 4
seconds instead (waiting for another REPLCONF ACK).
Removing unneeded startBgsaveForReplication from updateSlavesWaitingForBgsave
Now that CheckChildrenDone is calling the new replicationStartPendingFork
(extracted from serverCron) there's actually no need to call
startBgsaveForReplication from updateSlavesWaitingForBgsave anymore,
since as soon as updateSlavesWaitingForBgsave returns, CheckChildrenDone is
calling replicationStartPendingFork that handles that anyway.
The code in updateSlavesWaitingForBgsave had a bug in which it ignored
repl-diskless-sync-delay, but removing that code shows that this bug was
hiding another bug, which is that the max_idle should have used >= and
not >, this one second delay has a big impact on my new test.
- the test now waits for specific set of log messages rather than wait for
timeout looking for just one message.
- we don't wanna sample the current length of the log after an action, due
to a race, we need to start the search from the line number of the last
message we where waiting for.
- when attempting to trigger a full sync, use multi-exec to avoid a race
where the replica manages to re-connect before we completed the set of
actions that should force a full sync.
- fix verify_log_message which was broken and unused
tests were sensitive to additional log lines appearing in the log
causing the search to come empty handed.
instead of just looking for the n last log lines, capture the log lines
before performing the action, and then search from that offset.
with the original version of 6.0.0, this test detects an excessive full
sync.
with the fix in 1a7cd2c0e, this test detects memory corruption,
especially when using libc allocator with or without valgrind.
this test which has coverage for varoius flows of diskless master was
failing randomly from time to time.
the failure was:
[err]: diskless all replicas drop during rdb pipe in tests/integration/replication.tcl
log message of '*Diskless rdb transfer, last replica dropped, killing fork child*' not found
what seemed to have happened is that the master didn't detect that all
replicas dropped by the time the replication ended, it thought that one
replica is still connected.
now the test takes a few seconds longer but it seems stable.
misc:
- handle SSL_has_pending by iterating though these in beforeSleep, and setting timeout of 0 to aeProcessEvents
- fix issue with epoll signaling EPOLLHUP and EPOLLERR only to the write handlers. (needed to detect the rdb pipe was closed)
- add key-load-delay config for testing
- trim connShutdown which is no longer needed
- rioFdsetWrite -> rioFdWrite - simplified since there's no longer need to write to multiple FDs
- don't detect rdb child exited (don't call wait3) until we detect the pipe is closed
- Cleanup bad optimization from rio.c, add another one
* Introduce a connection abstraction layer for all socket operations and
integrate it across the code base.
* Provide an optional TLS connections implementation based on OpenSSL.
* Pull a newer version of hiredis with TLS support.
* Tests, redis-cli updates for TLS support.
now that replica can read rdb directly from the socket, it should avoid exiting
on short read and instead try to re-sync.
this commit tries to have minimal effects on non-diskless rdb reading.
and includes a test that tries to trigger this scenario on various read cases.
The implementation of the diskless replication was currently diskless only on the master side.
The slave side was still storing the received rdb file to the disk before loading it back in and parsing it.
This commit adds two modes to load rdb directly from socket:
1) when-empty
2) using "swapdb"
the third mode of using diskless slave by flushdb is risky and currently not included.
other changes:
--------------
distinguish between aof configuration and state so that we can re-enable aof only when sync eventually
succeeds (and not when exiting from readSyncBulkPayload after a failed attempt)
also a CONFIG GET and INFO during rdb loading would have lied
When loading rdb from the network, don't kill the server on short read (that can be a network error)
Fix rdb check when performed on preamble AOF
tests:
run replication tests for diskless slave too
make replication test a bit more aggressive
Add test for diskless load swapdb
