Experimentally verified that it can trigger the issue reverting the fix.
At least on my system... Being the bug time/backlog dependant, it is
very hard to tell if this test will be able to trigger the problem
consistently, however even if it triggers the problem once in a while,
we'll see it in the CI environment at http://ci.redis.io.
And many other related Github issues... all reporting the same problem.
There was probably just not enough backlog in certain unlucky runs.
I'll ask people that can reporduce if they see now this as fixed as
well.
Testing with Solaris C compiler (SunOS 5.11 11.2 sun4v sparc sun4v)
there were issues compiling due to atomicvar.h and running the
tests also failed because of "tail" usage not conform with Solaris
tail implementation. This commit fixes both the issues.
Slow systems like the original Raspberry PI need more time
than 5 seconds to start the script and detect writes.
After fixing the Raspberry PI can pass the unit without issues.
This actually includes two changes:
1) No newlines to take the master-slave link up when the upstream master
is down. Doing this is dangerous because the sub-slave often is received
replication protocol for an half-command, so can't receive newlines
without desyncing the replication link, even with the code in order to
cancel out the bytes that PSYNC2 was using. Moreover this is probably
also not needed/sane, because anyway the slave can keep serving
requests, and because if it's configured to don't serve stale data, it's
a good idea, actually, to break the link.
2) When a +CONTINUE with a different ID is received, we now break
connection with the sub-slaves: they need to be notified as well. This
was part of the original specification but for some reason it was not
implemented in the code, and was alter found as a PSYNC2 bug in the
integration testing.
This is the PSYNC2 test that helped find issues in the code, and that
still can show a protocol desync from time to time. Work is in progress
in order to find the issue. For now the test is not enabled in "make
test" and must be run manually.
spopCommand() now runs spopWithCountCommand() in case the <count> param is found.
Added intsetRandomMembers() to Intset: Copies N random members from the set into inputted 'values' array. Uses either the Knuth or Floyd sample algos depending on ratio count/size.
Added setTypeRandomElements() to SET type: Returns a number of random elements from a non empty set. This is a version of setTypeRandomElement() that is modified in order to return multiple entries, using dictGetRandomKeys() and intsetRandomMembers().
Added tests for SPOP with <count>: unit/type/set, unit/scripting, integration/aof

Cleaned up code a bit to match with required Redis coding style
When aof-load-truncated option was introduced, with a default of "yes",
the past behavior of the server to abort with trunncated AOF changed, so
we need to explicitly configure the tests to abort with truncated AOF
by setting the option to no.
The bug was triggered by running the test with Valgrind (which is a lot
slower and more sensible to timing issues) after the recent changes
that made Redis more promptly able to reply with the -LOADING error.
