We don't want that the API could be used directly in an unsafe way,
without checking if there is an active child. Now the safety checks are
moved directly in the function performing the operations.
We can't expect SIGUSR1 to have any specific value range, so let's
define an exit code that we can handle in a special way.
This also fixes an #include <wait.h> that is not standard.
SipHash expects a 128-bit key, and we were indeed generating 128-bits,
but restricting them to hex characters 0-9a-f, effectively giving us
only 4 bits-per-byte of key material, and 64 bits overall.
Now, we skip the hex conversion and supply 128 bits of unfiltered
random data.
* create module API for forking child processes.
* refactor duplicate code around creating and tracking forks by AOF and RDB.
* child processes listen to SIGUSR1 and dies exitFromChild in order to
eliminate a valgrind warning of unhandled signal.
* note that BGSAVE error reply has changed.
valgrind error is:
Process terminating with default action of signal 10 (SIGUSR1)
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
Now threads are stopped even when the connections drop immediately to
zero, not allowing the networking code to detect the condition and stop
the threads. serverCron() will handle that.
This is just an experiment for now, there are a couple of race
conditions, mostly harmless for the performance gain experiment that
this commit represents so far.
The general idea here is to take Redis single threaded and instead
fan-out on expansive kernel calls: write(2) in this case, but the same
concept could be easily implemented for read(2) and protcol parsing.
However just threading writes like in this commit, is enough to evaluate
if the approach is sounding.
Fixes#6012.
As long as "INFO is broken", this should be adequate IMO. Once we rework
`INFO`, perhaps into RESP3, this implementation should be revisited.
