The mess: Some parts use alsoPropagate for late propagation, others using an immediate one (propagate()), causing edge cases, ugly/hacky code, and the tendency for bugs The basic idea is that all commands are propagated via alsoPropagate (i.e. added to a list) and the top-most call() is responsible for going over that list and actually propagating them (and wrapping them in MULTI/EXEC if there's more than one command). This is done in the new function, propagatePendingCommands. Callers to propagatePendingCommands: 1. top-most call() (we want all nested call()s to add to the also_propagate array and just the top-most one to propagate them) - via `afterCommand` 2. handleClientsBlockedOnKeys: it is out of call() context and it may propagate stuff - via `afterCommand`. 3. handleClientsBlockedOnKeys edge case: if the looked-up key is already expired, we will propagate the expire but will not unblock any client so `afterCommand` isn't called. in that case, we have to propagate the deletion explicitly. 4. cron stuff: active-expire and eviction may also propagate stuff 5. modules: the module API allows to propagate stuff from just about anywhere (timers, keyspace notifications, threads). I could have tried to catch all the out-of-call-context places but it seemed easier to handle it in one place: when we free the context. in the spirit of what was done in call(), only the top-most freeing of a module context may cause propagation. 6. modules: when using a thread-safe ctx it's not clear when/if the ctx will be freed. we do know that the module must lock the GIL before calling RM_Replicate/RM_Call so we propagate the pending commands when releasing the GIL. A "known limitation", which were actually a bug, was fixed because of this commit (see propagate.tcl): When using a mix of RM_Call with `!` and RM_Replicate, the command would propagate out-of-order: first all the commands from RM_Call, and then the ones from RM_Replicate Another thing worth mentioning is that if, in the past, a client would issue a MULTI/EXEC with just one write command the server would blindly propagate the MULTI/EXEC too, even though it's redundant. not anymore. This commit renames propagate() to propagateNow() in order to cause conflicts in pending PRs. propagatePendingCommands is the only caller of propagateNow, which is now a static, internal helper function. Optimizations: 1. alsoPropagate will not add stuff to also_propagate if there's no AOF and replicas 2. alsoPropagate reallocs also_propagagte exponentially, to save calls to memmove Bugfixes: 1. CONFIG SET can create evictions, sending notifications which can cause to dirty++ with modules. we need to prevent it from propagating to AOF/replicas 2. We need to set current_client in RM_Call. buggy scenario: - CONFIG SET maxmemory, eviction notifications, module hook calls RM_Call - assertion in lookupKey crashes, because current_client has CONFIG SET, which isn't CMD_WRITE 3. minor: in eviction, call propagateDeletion after notification, like active-expire and all commands (we always send a notification before propagating the command)
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. |
--large-memory |
Enables tests that consume more than 100mb |
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_servercontexttagscontext 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. |
large-memory |
Test that requires more than 100mb |
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.
When not using --large-memory, filtering using the largemem: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
