Fix #12785 and other race condition issues. See the following isolated comments. The following report was obtained using SANITIZER thread. ```sh make SANITIZER=thread ./runtest-moduleapi --config io-threads 4 --config io-threads-do-reads yes --accurate ``` 1. Fixed thread-safe issue in RM_UnblockClient() Related discussion: https://github.com/redis/redis/pull/12817#issuecomment-1831181220 * When blocking a client in a module using `RM_BlockClientOnKeys()` or `RM_BlockClientOnKeysWithFlags()` with a timeout_callback, calling RM_UnblockClient() in module threads can lead to race conditions in `updateStatsOnUnblock()`. - Introduced: Version: 6.2 PR: #7491 - Touch: `server.stat_numcommands`, `cmd->latency_histogram`, `server.slowlog`, and `server.latency_events` - Harm Level: High Potentially corrupts the memory data of `cmd->latency_histogram`, `server.slowlog`, and `server.latency_events` - Solution: Differentiate whether the call to moduleBlockedClientTimedOut() comes from the module or the main thread. Since we can't know if RM_UnblockClient() comes from module threads, we always assume it does and let `updateStatsOnUnblock()` asynchronously update the unblock status. * When error reply is called in timeout_callback(), ctx is not thread-safe, eventually lead to race conditions in `afterErrorReply`. - Introduced: Version: 6.2 PR: #8217 - Touch `server.stat_total_error_replies`, `server.errors`, - Harm Level: High Potentially corrupts the memory data of `server.errors` - Solution: Make the ctx in `timeout_callback()` with `REDISMODULE_CTX_THREAD_SAFE`, and asynchronously reply errors to the client. 2. Made RM_Reply*() family API thread-safe Related discussion: https://github.com/redis/redis/pull/12817#discussion_r1408707239 Call chain: `RM_Reply*()` -> `_addReplyToBufferOrList()` -> touch server.current_client - Introduced: Version: 7.2.0 PR: #12326 - Harm Level: None Since the module fake client won't have the `CLIENT_PUSHING` flag, even if we touch server.current_client, we can still exit after `c->flags & CLIENT_PUSHING`. - Solution Checking `c->flags & CLIENT_PUSHING` earlier. 3. Made freeClient() thread-safe Fix #12785 - Introduced: Version: 4.0 Commit:3fcf959e60- Harm Level: Moderate * Trigger assertion It happens when the module thread calls freeClient while the io-thread is in progress, which just triggers an assertion, and doesn't make any race condiaions. * Touch `server.current_client`, `server.stat_clients_type_memory`, and `clientMemUsageBucket->clients`. It happens between the main thread and the module threads, may cause data corruption. 1. Error reset `server.current_client` to NULL, but theoretically this won't happen, because the module has already reset `server.current_client` to old value before entering freeClient. 2. corrupts `clientMemUsageBucket->clients` in updateClientMemUsageAndBucket(). 3. Causes server.stat_clients_type_memory memory statistics to be inaccurate. - Solution: * No longer counts memory usage on fake clients, to avoid updating `server.stat_clients_type_memory` in freeClient. * No longer resetting `server.current_client` in unlinkClient, because the fake client won't be evicted or disconnected in the mid of the process. * Judgment assertion `io_threads_op == IO_THREADS_OP_IDLE` only if c is not a fake client. 4. Fixed free client args without GIL Related discussion: https://github.com/redis/redis/pull/12817#discussion_r1408706695 When freeing retained strings in the module thread (refcount decr), or using them in some way (refcount incr), we should do so while holding the GIL, otherwise, they might be simultaneously freed while the main thread is processing the unblock client state. - Introduced: Version: 6.2.0 PR: #8141 - Harm Level: Low Trigger assertion or double free or memory leak. - Solution: Documenting that module API users need to ensure any access to these retained strings is done with the GIL locked 5. Fix adding fake client to server.clients_pending_write It will incorrectly log the memory usage for the fake client. Related discussion: https://github.com/redis/redis/pull/12817#issuecomment-1851899163 - Introduced: Version: 4.0 Commit:9b01b64430- Harm Level: None Only result in NOP - Solution: * Don't add fake client into server.clients_pending_write * Add c->conn assertion for updateClientMemUsageAndBucket() and updateClientMemoryUsage() to avoid same issue in the future. So now it will be the responsibility of the caller of both of them to avoid passing in fake client. 6. Fix calling RM_BlockedClientMeasureTimeStart() and RM_BlockedClientMeasureTimeEnd() without GIL - Introduced: Version: 6.2 PR: #7491 - Harm Level: Low Causes inaccuracies in command latency histogram and slow logs, but does not corrupt memory. - Solution: Module API users, if know that non-thread-safe APIs will be used in multi-threading, need to take responsibility for protecting them with their own locks instead of the GIL, as using the GIL is too expensive. ### Other issue 1. RM_Yield is not thread-safe, fixed via #12905. ### Summarize 1. Fix thread-safe issues for `RM_UnblockClient()`, `freeClient()` and `RM_Yield`, potentially preventing memory corruption, data disorder, or assertion. 2. Updated docs and module test to clarify module API users' responsibility for locking non-thread-safe APIs in multi-threading, such as RM_BlockedClientMeasureTimeStart/End(), RM_FreeString(), RM_RetainString(), and RM_HoldString(). ### About backpot to 7.2 1. The implement of (1) is not too satisfying, would like to get more eyes. 2. (2), (3) can be safely for backport 3. (4), (6) just modifying the module tests and updating the documentation, no need for a backpot. 4. (5) is harmless, no need for a backpot. --------- Co-authored-by: Oran Agra <oran@redislabs.com>
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 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
