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.
See #3462 and related PRs.
We use a simple algorithm to calculate the level of affinity violation,
and then an optimizer that performs random swaps until things improve.
after a slave is promoted (assuming it has no slaves
and it booted over an hour ago), it will lose it's replication
backlog at the next replication cron, rather than waiting for slaves
to connect to it.
so on a simple master/slave faiover, if the new slave doesn't connect
immediately, it may be too later and PSYNC2 will fail.
This fixes a crash with Redis Cluster when OBJECT is mis-used, because
getKeysUsingCommandTable() will call serverPanic() detecting we are
accessing an invalid argument in the case "OBJECT foo" is called.
This bug was introduced when OBJECT HELP was introduced, because the key
argument is set fixed at index 2 in the command table, however now
OBJECT may be called with an insufficient number of arguments to extract
the key.
The "Right Thing" would be to have a specific function to extract keys
from the OBJECT command, however this is kinda of an overkill, so I
preferred to make getKeysUsingCommandTable() more robust and just return
no keys when it's not possible to honor the command table, because new
commands are often added and also there are a number with an HELP
subcommand violating the normal form, and crashing for this trivial
reason or having many command-specific key extraction functions is not
great.
- 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 commit splits the add functions into a set() and add() set of
functions, so that it's possible to set registers in an independent way
just having the index and count.
Related to #3819, otherwise a fix is not possible.
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.
