This can happen when a key almost equal or larger than the client output buffer limit of the replica is written. Example: 1. DB is empty 2. Backlog size is 1 MB 3. Client out put buffer limit is 2 MB 4. Client writes a 3 MB key 5. The shared replication buffer will have a single node which contains the key written above, and it exceeds the backlog size. At this point the client output buffer usage calculation will report the replica buffer to be 3 MB (or more) even after sending all the data to the replica. The primary drops the replica connection for exceeding the limits, the replica reconnects and successfully executes partial sync but the primary will drop the connection again because the buffer usage is still 3 MB. This happens over and over. To mitigate the problem, this fix limits the maximum size of a single backlog node to be (repl_backlog_size/16). This way a single node can't exceed the limits of the COB (the COB has to be larger than the backlog). It also means that if the backlog has some excessive data it can't trim, it would be at most about 6% overuse. other notes: 1. a loop was added in feedReplicationBuffer which caused a massive LOC change due to indentation, the actual changes are just the `min(max` and the loop. 3. an unrelated change in an existing test to speed up a server termination which took 10 seconds.

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_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 . |
large-memory |
Test that requires more than 100mb |
tls:skip |
Not compatible 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 REFCOUNT ). |
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 or BGSAVE 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
