When LUA call our C code, by default, the LUA stack has room for 10 elements. In most cases, this is more than enough but sometimes it's not and the caller must verify the LUA stack size before he pushes elements. On 3 places in the code, there was no verification of the LUA stack size. On specific inputs this missing verification could have lead to invalid memory write: 1. On 'luaReplyToRedisReply', one might return a nested reply that will explode the LUA stack. 2. On 'redisProtocolToLuaType', the Redis reply might be deep enough to explode the LUA stack (notice that currently there is no such command in Redis that returns such a nested reply, but modules might do it) 3. On 'ldbRedis', one might give a command with enough arguments to explode the LUA stack (all the arguments will be pushed to the LUA stack) This commit is solving all those 3 issues by calling 'lua_checkstack' and verify that there is enough room in the LUA stack to push elements. In case 'lua_checkstack' returns an error (there is not enough room in the LUA stack and it's not possible to increase the stack), we will do the following: 1. On 'luaReplyToRedisReply', we will return an error to the user. 2. On 'redisProtocolToLuaType' we will exit with panic (we assume this scenario is rare because it can only happen with a module). 3. On 'ldbRedis', we return an error.
Redis Test Suite
The normal execution mode of the test suite involves starting and manipulating
local redis-server
instances, inspecting process state, log files, etc.
The test suite also supports execution against an external server, which is
enabled using the --host
and --port
parameters. When executing against an
external server, tests tagged external:skip
are skipped.
There are additional runtime options that can further adjust the test suite to match different external server configurations:
Option | Impact |
---|---|
--singledb |
Only use database 0, don't assume others are supported. |
--ignore-encoding |
Skip all checks for specific encoding. |
--ignore-digest |
Skip key value digest validations. |
--cluster-mode |
Run in strict Redis Cluster compatibility mode. |
Tags
Tags are applied to tests to classify them according to the subsystem they test, but also to indicate compatibility with different run modes and required capabilities.
Tags can be applied in different context levels:
start_server
contexttags
context that bundles several tests together- A single test context.
The following compatibility and capability tags are currently used:
Tag | Indicates |
---|---|
external:skip |
Not compatible with external servers. |
cluster:skip |
Not compatible with --cluster-mode . |
tls:skip |
Not campatible with --tls . |
needs:repl |
Uses replication and needs to be able to SYNC from server. |
needs:debug |
Uses the DEBUG command or other debugging focused commands (like OBJECT ). |
needs:pfdebug |
Uses the PFDEBUG command. |
needs:config-maxmemory |
Uses CONFIG SET to manipulate memory limit, eviction policies, etc. |
needs:config-resetstat |
Uses CONFIG RESETSTAT to reset statistics. |
needs:reset |
Uses RESET to reset client connections. |
needs:save |
Uses SAVE to create an RDB file. |
When using an external server (--host
and --port
), filtering using the
external:skip
tags is done automatically.
When using --cluster-mode
, filtering using the cluster:skip
tag is done
automatically.
In addition, it is possible to specify additional configuration. For example, to
run tests on a server that does not permit SYNC
use:
./runtest --host <host> --port <port> --tags -needs:repl
