Citing from the issue:
btw I suggest we change this fix to something else:
* We revert the fix.
* We add a call that disconnects chained replicas in the place where we trim the replica (that is a master i this case) offset.
This way we can avoid disconnections when there is no trimming of the backlog.
Note that we now want to disconnect replicas asynchronously in
disconnectSlaves(), because it's in general safer now that we can call
it from freeClient(). Otherwise for instance the command:
CLIENT KILL TYPE master
May crash: clientCommand() starts running the linked of of clients,
looking for clients to kill. However it finds the master, kills it
calling freeClient(), but this in turn calls replicationCacheMaster()
that may also call disconnectSlaves() now. So the linked list iterator
of the clientCommand() will no longer be valid.
This was broken in 146201c: we identified a crash in the CI, what
was happening before the fix should be like that:
1. The client gets in the async free list.
2. However freeClient() gets called again against the same client
which is a master.
3. The client arrived in freeClient() with the CLOSE_ASAP flag set.
4. The master gets cached, but NOT removed from the CLOSE_ASAP linked
list.
5. The master client that was cached was immediately removed since it
was still in the list.
6. Redis accessed a freed cached master.
This is how the crash looked like:
=== REDIS BUG REPORT START: Cut & paste starting from here ===
1092:S 16 May 2020 11:44:09.731 # Redis 999.999.999 crashed by signal: 11
1092:S 16 May 2020 11:44:09.731 # Crashed running the instruction at: 0x447e18

------ STACK TRACE ------
EIP:
src/redis-server 127.0.0.1:21300(readQueryFromClient+0x48)[0x447e18]
And the 0xffff address access likely comes from accessing an SDS that is
set to NULL (we go -1 offset to read the header).
The context is issue #7205: since the introduction of threaded I/O we close
clients asynchronously by default from readQueryFromClient(). So we
should no longer prevent the caching of the master client, to later
PSYNC incrementally, if such flags are set. However we also don't want
the master client to be cached with such flags (would be closed
immediately after being restored). And yet we want a way to understand
if a master was closed because of a protocol error, and in that case
prevent the caching.
Currently, there are several types of threads/child processes of a
redis server. Sometimes we need deeply optimise the performance of
redis, so we would like to isolate threads/processes.
There were some discussion about cpu affinity cases in the issue:
https://github.com/antirez/redis/issues/2863
So implement cpu affinity setting by redis.conf in this patch, then
we can config server_cpulist/bio_cpulist/aof_rewrite_cpulist/
bgsave_cpulist by cpu list.
Examples of cpulist in redis.conf:
server_cpulist 0-7:2 means cpu affinity 0,2,4,6
bio_cpulist 1,3 means cpu affinity 1,3
aof_rewrite_cpulist 8-11 means cpu affinity 8,9,10,11
bgsave_cpulist 1,10-11 means cpu affinity 1,10,11
Test on linux/freebsd, both work fine.

When deffered reply is added the previous reply node cannot be used so
all the extra space we allocated in it is wasted. in case someone uses
deffered replies in a loop, each time adding a small reply, each of
these reply nodes (the small string reply) would have consumed a 16k
block.
now when we add anther diferred reply node, we trim the unused portion
of the previous reply block.
see #7123
cherry picked from commit 4ed5b7cb74caf5bef6606909603e371af0da4f9b
with fix to handle a crash with LIBC allocator, which apparently can
return the same pointer despite changing it's size.
i.e. shrinking an allocation of 16k into 56 bytes without changing the
pointer.

Now both master and replicas keep track of the last replication offset
that contains meaningful data (ignoring the tailing pings), and both
trim that tail from the replication backlog, and the offset with which
they try to use for psync.
the implication is that if someone missed some pings, or even have
excessive pings that the promoted replica has, it'll still be able to
psync (avoid full sync).
the downside (which was already committed) is that replicas running old
code may fail to psync, since the promoted replica trims pings form it's
backlog.
This commit adds a test that reproduces several cases of promotions and
demotions with stale and non-stale pings
Background:
The mearningful offset on the master was added recently to solve a problem were
the master is left all alone, injecting PINGs into it's backlog when no one is
listening and then gets demoted and tries to replicate from a replica that didn't
have any of the PINGs (or at least not the last ones).
however, consider this case:
master A has two replicas (B and C) replicating directly from it.
there's no traffic at all, and also no network issues, just many pings in the
tail of the backlog. now B gets promoted, A becomes a replica of B, and C
remains a replica of A. when A gets demoted, it trims the pings from its
backlog, and successfully replicate from B. however, C is still aware of
these PINGs, when it'll disconnect and re-connect to A, it'll ask for something
that's not in the backlog anymore (since A trimmed the tail of it's backlog),
and be forced to do a full sync (something it didn't have to do before the
meaningful offset fix).
Besides that, the psync2 test was always failing randomly here and there, it
turns out the reason were PINGs. Investigating it shows the following scenario:
cycle 1: redis #1 is master, and all the rest are direct replicas of #1
cycle 2: redis #2 is promoted to master, #1 is a replica of #2 and #3 is replica of #1
now we see that when #1 is demoted it prints:
17339:S 21 Apr 2020 11:16:38.523 * Using the meaningful offset 3929963 instead of 3929977 to exclude the final PINGs (14 bytes difference)
17339:S 21 Apr 2020 11:16:39.391 * Trying a partial resynchronization (request e2b3f8817735fdfe5fa4626766daa938b61419e5:3929964).
17339:S 21 Apr 2020 11:16:39.392 * Successful partial resynchronization with master.
and when #3 connects to the demoted #2, #2 says:
17339:S 21 Apr 2020 11:16:40.084 * Partial resynchronization not accepted: Requested offset for secondary ID was 3929978, but I can reply up to 3929964
so the issue here is that the meaningful offset feature saved the day for the
demoted master (since it needs to sync from a replica that didn't get the last
ping), but it didn't help one of the other replicas which did get the last ping.
Related to #5145.
Design note: clients may change type when they turn into replicas or are
moved into the Pub/Sub category and so forth. Moreover the recomputation
of the bytes used is problematic for obvious reasons: it changes
continuously, so as a conservative way to avoid accumulating errors,
each client remembers the contribution it gave to the sum, and removes
it when it is freed or before updating it with the new memory usage.
Makse sure call() doesn't wrap replicated commands with
a redundant MULTI/EXEC
Other, unrelated changes:
1. Formatting compiler warning in INFO CLIENTS
2. Use CLIENT_ID_AOF instead of UINT64_MAX
1. server.repl_no_slaves_since can be set when a MONITOR client disconnects
2. c->repl_ack_time can be set by a newline from a MONITOR client
3. Improved comments
This bug is from the first version of Redis. Probably the problem here
is that before we used an SDS split function that created empty strings
for additional spaces, like in "SET foo bar".
AFAIK later we replaced it with the curretn sdssplitarg() API that has
no such a problem. As a result, we introduced a bug, where it is no
longer possible to do something like:
SET foo ""
Using the inline protocol. Now it is fixed.
looks like each platform implements long double differently (different bit count)
so we can't save them as binary, and we also want to avoid creating a new RDB
format version, so we save these are hex strings using "%La".
This commit includes a change in the arguments of ld2string to support this.
as well as tests for coverage and short reads.
