After #13072, there is an use-after-free error. In expireScanCallback, we
will delete the dict, and then in dictScan we will continue to use the dict,
like we will doing `dictResumeRehashing(d)` in the end, this casued an error.
In this PR, in freeDictIfNeeded, if the dict's pauserehash is set, don't
delete the dict yet, and then when scan returns try to delete it again.
At the same time, we noticed that there will be similar problems in iterator.
We may also delete elements during the iteration process, causing the dict
to be deleted, so the part related to iter in the PR has also been modified.
dictResetIterator was also missing from the previous kvstoreIteratorNextDict,
we currently have no scenario that elements will be deleted in kvstoreIterator
process, deal with it together to avoid future problems. Added some simple
tests to verify the changes.
In addition, the modification in #13072 omitted initTempDb and emptyDbAsync,
and they were also added. This PR also remove the slow flag from the expire
test (consumes 1.3s) so that problems can be found in CI in the future.
# Description
Gather most of the scattered `redisDb`-related code from the per-slot
dict PR (#11695) and turn it to a new data structure, `kvstore`. i.e.
it's a class that represents an array of dictionaries.
# Motivation
The main motivation is code cleanliness, the idea of using an array of
dictionaries is very well-suited to becoming a self-contained data
structure.
This allowed cleaning some ugly code, among others: loops that run twice
on the main dict and expires dict, and duplicate code for allocating and
releasing this data structure.
# Notes
1. This PR reverts the part of https://github.com/redis/redis/pull/12848
where the `rehashing` list is global (handling rehashing `dict`s is
under the responsibility of `kvstore`, and should not be managed by the
server)
2. This PR also replaces the type of `server.pubsubshard_channels` from
`dict**` to `kvstore` (original PR:
https://github.com/redis/redis/pull/12804). After that was done,
server.pubsub_channels was also chosen to be a `kvstore` (with only one
`dict`, which seems odd) just to make the code cleaner by making it the
same type as `server.pubsubshard_channels`, see
`pubsubtype.serverPubSubChannels`
3. the keys and expires kvstores are currenlty configured to allocate
the individual dicts only when the first key is added (unlike before, in
which they allocated them in advance), but they won't release them when
the last key is deleted.
Worth mentioning that due to the recent change the reply of DEBUG
HTSTATS changed, in case no keys were ever added to the db.
before:
```
127.0.0.1:6379> DEBUG htstats 9
[Dictionary HT]
Hash table 0 stats (main hash table):
No stats available for empty dictionaries
[Expires HT]
Hash table 0 stats (main hash table):
No stats available for empty dictionaries
```
after:
```
127.0.0.1:6379> DEBUG htstats 9
[Dictionary HT]
[Expires HT]
```
The function `tryResizeHashTables` only attempts to shrink the dicts
that has keys (change from #11695), this was a serious problem until the
change in #12850 since it meant if all keys are deleted, we won't shrink
the dick.
But still, both dictShrink and dictExpand may be blocked by a fork child
process, therefore, the cron job needs to perform both dictShrink and
dictExpand, for not just non-empty dicts, but all dicts in DBs.
What this PR does:
1. Try to resize all dicts in DBs (not just non-empty ones, as it was
since #12850)
2. handle both shrink and expand (not just shrink, as it was since
forever)
3. Refactor some APIs about dict resizing (get rid of `htNeedsShrink`
`htNeedsShrink` `dictShrinkToFit`, and expose `dictShrinkIfNeeded`
`dictExpandIfNeeded` which already contains all the code of those
functions we get rid of, to make APIs more neat)
4. In the `Don't rehash if redis has child process` test, now that cron
would do resizing, we no longer need to write to DB after the child
process got killed, and can wait for the cron to expand the hash table.
Before this change (most recently modified in
https://github.com/redis/redis/pull/12850#discussion_r1421406393), The
trigger for normal expand threshold was 100% utilization and the trigger
for normal shrink threshold was 10% (HASHTABLE_MIN_FILL).
While during fork (DICT_RESIZE_AVOID), when we want to avoid rehash, the
trigger thresholds were multiplied by 5 (`dict_force_resize_ratio`),
meaning 500% for expand and 2% (100/10/5) for shrink.
However, in `dictRehash` (the incremental rehashing), the rehashing
threshold for shrinking during fork (DICT_RESIZE_AVOID) was 20% by
mistake.
This meant that if a shrinking is triggered when `dict_can_resize` is
`DICT_RESIZE_ENABLE` which the threshold is 10%, the rehashing can
continue when `dict_can_resize` is `DICT_RESIZE_AVOID`.
This would cause unwanted CopyOnWrite damage.
It'll make sense to change the thresholds of the rehash trigger and the
thresholds of the incremental rehashing the same, however, in one we
compare the size of the hash table to the number of records, and in the
other we compare the size of ht[0] to the size of ht[1], so the formula
is not exactly the same.
to make things easier we change all the thresholds to powers of 2, so
the normal shrinking threshold is changed from 100/10 (i.e. 10%) to
100/8 (i.e. 12.5%), and we change the threshold during forks from 5 to
4, i.e. from 500% to 400% for expand, and from 2% (100/10/5) to 3.125%
(100/8/4)
When we insert entries into dict, it may autonomously expand if needed.
However, when we delete entries from dict, it doesn't shrink to the
proper size. If there are few entries in a very large dict, it may cause
huge waste of memory and inefficiency when iterating.
The main keyspace dicts (keys and expires), are shrinked by cron
(`tryResizeHashTables` calls `htNeedsResize` and `dictResize`),
And some data structures such as zset and hash also do that (call
`htNeedsResize`) right after a loop of calls to `dictDelete`,
But many other dicts are completely missing that call (they can only
expand).
In this PR, we provide the ability to automatically shrink the dict when
deleting. The conditions triggering the shrinking is the same as
`htNeedsResize` used to have. i.e. we expand when we're over 100%
utilization, and shrink when we're below 10% utilization.
Additionally:
* Add `dictPauseAutoResize` so that flows that do mass deletions, will
only trigger shrinkage at the end.
* Rename `dictResize` to `dictShrinkToFit` (same logic as it used to
have, but better name describing it)
* Rename `_dictExpand` to `_dictResize` (same logic as it used to have,
but better name describing it)

After #11695, we added two functions `rehashingStarted` and
`rehashingCompleted` to the dict structure. We also registered two
handlers for the main database's dict and expire structures. This allows
the main database to record the dict in `rehashing` list when rehashing
starts. Later, in `serverCron`, the `incrementallyRehash` function is
continuously called to perform the rehashing operation. However,
currently, when rehashing is completed, `rehashingCompleted` does not
remove the dict from the `rehashing` list. This results in the
`rehashing` list containing many invalid dicts. Although subsequent cron
checks and removes dicts that don't require rehashing, it is still
inefficient.
This PR implements the functionality to remove the dict from the
`rehashing` list in `rehashingCompleted`. This is achieved by adding
`metadata` to the dict structure, which keeps track of its position in
the `rehashing` list, allowing for quick removal. This approach avoids
storing duplicate dicts in the `rehashing` list.
Additionally, there are other modifications:
1. Whether in standalone or cluster mode, the dict in database is
inserted into the rehashing linked list when rehashing starts. This
eliminates the need to distinguish between standalone and cluster mode
in `incrementallyRehash`. The function only needs to focus on the dicts
in the `rehashing` list that require rehashing.
2. `rehashing` list is moved from per-database to Redis server level.
This decouples `incrementallyRehash` from the database ID, and in
standalone mode, there is no need to iterate over all databases,
avoiding unnecessary access to databases that do not require rehashing.
In the future, even if unsharded-cluster mode supports multiple
databases, there will be no risk involved.
3. The insertion and removal operations of dict structures in the
`rehashing` list are decoupled from `activerehashing` config.
`activerehashing` only controls whether `incrementallyRehash` is
executed in serverCron. There is no need for additional steps when
modifying the `activerehashing` switch, as in #12705.
In the old dictRehashingInfo implementation, for the initialization
scenario,
it mistakenly directly set to_size to DICTHT_SIZE(DICT_HT_INITIAL_EXP),
which
is 4 in our code by default.
In scenarios where dictExpand directly passes the target size as
initialization,
the code will calculate bucket_count incorrectly. For example, in DEBUG
POPULATE
or RDB load scenarios, it will cause the final bucket_count to be
initialized to
65536 (16384 * 4), see:
```
before:
DB 0: 10000000 keys (0 volatile) in 65536 slots HT.
it should be:
DB 0: 10000000 keys (0 volatile) in 16777216 slots HT.
```
In PR, new ht will also be initialized before calling rehashingStarted
in
_dictExpand, so that the calls in dictRehashingInfo can be unified.
Bug was introduced in #12697.
As part of #11695 independent dictionaries were introduced per slot.
Time complexity to discover total no. of buckets across all dictionaries
increased to O(N) with straightforward implementation of iterating over
all dictionaries and adding dictBuckets of each.
To optimize the time complexity, we could maintain a global counter at
db level to keep track of the count of buckets and update it on the start
and end of rehashing.

This is an implementation of https://github.com/redis/redis/issues/10589 that eliminates 16 bytes per entry in cluster mode, that are currently used to create a linked list between entries in the same slot. Main idea is splitting main dictionary into 16k smaller dictionaries (one per slot), so we can perform all slot specific operations, such as iteration, without any additional info in the `dictEntry`. For Redis cluster, the expectation is that there will be a larger number of keys, so the fixed overhead of 16k dictionaries will be The expire dictionary is also split up so that each slot is logically decoupled, so that in subsequent revisions we will be able to atomically flush a slot of data.
## Important changes
* Incremental rehashing - one big change here is that it's not one, but rather up to 16k dictionaries that can be rehashing at the same time, in order to keep track of them, we introduce a separate queue for dictionaries that are rehashing. Also instead of rehashing a single dictionary, cron job will now try to rehash as many as it can in 1ms.
* getRandomKey - now needs to not only select a random key, from the random bucket, but also needs to select a random dictionary. Fairness is a major concern here, as it's possible that keys can be unevenly distributed across the slots. In order to address this search we introduced binary index tree). With that data structure we are able to efficiently find a random slot using binary search in O(log^2(slot count)) time.
* Iteration efficiency - when iterating dictionary with a lot of empty slots, we want to skip them efficiently. We can do this using same binary index that is used for random key selection, this index allows us to find a slot for a specific key index. For example if there are 10 keys in the slot 0, then we can quickly find a slot that contains 11th key using binary search on top of the binary index tree.
* scan API - in order to perform a scan across the entire DB, the cursor now needs to not only save position within the dictionary but also the slot id. In this change we append slot id into LSB of the cursor so it can be passed around between client and the server. This has interesting side effect, now you'll be able to start scanning specific slot by simply providing slot id as a cursor value. The plan is to not document this as defined behavior, however. It's also worth nothing the SCAN API is now technically incompatible with previous versions, although practically we don't believe it's an issue.
* Checksum calculation optimizations - During command execution, we know that all of the keys are from the same slot (outside of a few notable exceptions such as cross slot scripts and modules). We don't want to compute the checksum multiple multiple times, hence we are relying on cached slot id in the client during the command executions. All operations that access random keys, either should pass in the known slot or recompute the slot.
* Slot info in RDB - in order to resize individual dictionaries correctly, while loading RDB, it's not enough to know total number of keys (of course we could approximate number of keys per slot, but it won't be precise). To address this issue, we've added additional metadata into RDB that contains number of keys in each slot, which can be used as a hint during loading.
* DB size - besides `DBSIZE` API, we need to know size of the DB in many places want, in order to avoid scanning all dictionaries and summing up their sizes in a loop, we've introduced a new field into `redisDb` that keeps track of `key_count`. This way we can keep DBSIZE operation O(1). This is also kept for O(1) expires computation as well.
## Performance
This change improves SET performance in cluster mode by ~5%, most of the gains come from us not having to maintain linked lists for keys in slot, non-cluster mode has same performance. For workloads that rely on evictions, the performance is similar because of the extra overhead for finding keys to evict.
RDB loading performance is slightly reduced, as the slot of each key needs to be computed during the load.
## Interface changes
* Removed `overhead.hashtable.slot-to-keys` to `MEMORY STATS`
* Scan API will now require 64 bits to store the cursor, even on 32 bit systems, as the slot information will be stored.
* New RDB version to support the new op code for SLOT information.

The light version only shows the table sizes, while the pre-existing
version that shows chain length stats is reachable with the `full` argument.
This should allow looking into rehashing state, even on huge dicts, on
which we're afraid to run the command for fear of causing a server freeze.
Also, fix a possible overflow in dictGetStats.
If a dict has only keys, and no use of values, then a key can be stored directly in a
dict's hashtable. The key replaces the dictEntry. To distinguish between a key and
a dictEntry, we only use this optimization if the key is odd, i.e. if the key has the least
significant bit set. This is true for sds strings, since the sds header is always an odd
number of bytes.
Dict entries are used as a fallback when there is a hash collision. A special dict entry
without a value (only key and next) is used so we save one word in this case too.
This saves 24 bytes per set element for larges sets, and also gains some speed improvement
as a side effect (less allocations and cache misses).
A quick test adding 1M elements to a set using the command below resulted in memory
usage of 28.83M, compared to 46.29M on unstable.
That's 18 bytes per set element on average.
eval 'for i=1,1000000,1 do redis.call("sadd", "myset", "x"..i) end' 0
Other changes:
Allocations are ensured to have at least 8 bits alignment on all systems. This affects 32-bit
builds compiled without HAVE_MALLOC_SIZE (not jemalloc or glibc) in which Redis
stores the size of each allocation, after this change in 8 bytes instead of previously 4 bytes
per allocation. This is done so we can reliably use the 3 least significant bits in a pointer to
encode stuff.
This change deletes the dictGetNext and dictGetNextRef functions, so the
dict API doesn't expose the next field at all.
The bucket function in dictScan is deleted. A separate dictScanDefrag function
is added which takes a defrag alloc function to defrag-reallocate the dict entries.
"Dirty" code accessing the dict internals in active defrag is removed.
An 'afterReplaceEntry' is added to dictType, which allows the dict user
to keep the dictEntry metadata up to date after reallocation/defrag/move.
Additionally, for updating the cluster slot-to-key mapping, after a dictEntry
has been reallocated, we need to know which db a dict belongs to, so we store
a pointer to the db in a new metadata section in the dict struct, which is
a new mechanism similar to dictEntry metadata. This adds some complexity but
provides better isolation.
Turns out that a fork child calling getExpire while persisting keys (and
possibly also a result of some module fork tasks) could cause dictFind
to do incremental rehashing in the child process, which is both a waste
of time, and also causes COW harm.
*TL;DR*
---------------------------------------
Following the discussion over the issue [#7551](https://github.com/redis/redis/issues/7551)
We decided to refactor the client blocking code to eliminate some of the code duplications
and to rebuild the infrastructure better for future key blocking cases.
*In this PR*
---------------------------------------
1. reprocess the command once a client becomes unblocked on key (instead of running
custom code for the unblocked path that's different than the one that would have run if
blocking wasn't needed)
2. eliminate some (now) irrelevant code for handling unblocking lists/zsets/streams etc...
3. modify some tests to intercept the error in cases of error on reprocess after unblock (see
details in the notes section below)
4. replace '$' on the client argv with current stream id. Since once we reprocess the stream
XREAD we need to read from the last msg and not wait for new msg in order to prevent
endless block loop.
5. Added statistics to the info "Clients" section to report the:
* `total_blocking_keys` - number of blocking keys
* `total_blocking_keys_on_nokey` - number of blocking keys which have at least 1 client
which would like
to be unblocked on when the key is deleted.
6. Avoid expiring unblocked key during unblock. Previously we used to lookup the unblocked key
which might have been expired during the lookup. Now we lookup the key using NOTOUCH and
NOEXPIRE to avoid deleting it at this point, so propagating commands in blocked.c is no longer needed.
7. deprecated command flags. We decided to remove the CMD_CALL_STATS and CMD_CALL_SLOWLOG
and make an explicit verification in the call() function in order to decide if stats update should take place.
This should simplify the logic and also mitigate existing issues: for example module calls which are
triggered as part of AOF loading might still report stats even though they are called during AOF loading.
*Behavior changes*
---------------------------------------------------
1. As this implementation prevents writing dedicated code handling unblocked streams/lists/zsets,
since we now re-process the command once the client is unblocked some errors will be reported differently.
The old implementation used to issue
``UNBLOCKED the stream key no longer exists``
in the following cases:
- The stream key has been deleted (ie. calling DEL)
- The stream and group existed but the key type was changed by overriding it (ie. with set command)
- The key not longer exists after we swapdb with a db which does not contains this key
- After swapdb when the new db has this key but with different type.
In the new implementation the reported errors will be the same as if the command was processed after effect:
**NOGROUP** - in case key no longer exists, or **WRONGTYPE** in case the key was overridden with a different type.
2. Reprocessing the command means that some checks will be reevaluated once the
client is unblocked.
For example, ACL rules might change since the command originally was executed and
will fail once the client is unblocked.
Another example is OOM condition checks which might enable the command to run and
block but fail the command reprocess once the client is unblocked.
3. One of the changes in this PR is that no command stats are being updated once the
command is blocked (all stats will be updated once the client is unblocked). This implies
that when we have many clients blocked, users will no longer be able to get that information
from the command stats. However the information can still be gathered from the client list.
**Client blocking**
---------------------------------------------------
the blocking on key will still be triggered the same way as it is done today.
in order to block the current client on list of keys, the call to
blockForKeys will still need to be made which will perform the same as it is today:
* add the client to the list of blocked clients on each key
* keep the key with a matching list node (position in the global blocking clients list for that key)
in the client private blocking key dict.
* flag the client with CLIENT_BLOCKED
* update blocking statistics
* register the client on the timeout table
**Key Unblock**
---------------------------------------------------
Unblocking a specific key will be triggered (same as today) by calling signalKeyAsReady.
the implementation in that part will stay the same as today - adding the key to the global readyList.
The reason to maintain the readyList (as apposed to iterating over all clients blocked on the specific key)
is in order to keep the signal operation as short as possible, since it is called during the command processing.
The main change is that instead of going through a dedicated code path that operates the blocked command
we will just call processPendingCommandsAndResetClient.
**ClientUnblock (keys)**
---------------------------------------------------
1. Unblocking clients on keys will be triggered after command is
processed and during the beforeSleep
8. the general schema is:
9. For each key *k* in the readyList:
```
For each client *c* which is blocked on *k*:
in case either:
1. *k* exists AND the *k* type matches the current client blocking type
OR
2. *k* exists and *c* is blocked on module command
OR
3. *k* does not exists and *c* was blocked with the flag
unblock_on_deleted_key
do:
1. remove the client from the list of clients blocked on this key
2. remove the blocking list node from the client blocking key dict
3. remove the client from the timeout list
10. queue the client on the unblocked_clients list
11. *NEW*: call processCommandAndResetClient(c);
```
*NOTE:* for module blocked clients we will still call the moduleUnblockClientByHandle
which will queue the client for processing in moduleUnblockedClients list.
**Process Unblocked clients**
---------------------------------------------------
The process of all unblocked clients is done in the beforeSleep and no change is planned
in that part.
The general schema will be:
For each client *c* in server.unblocked_clients:
* remove client from the server.unblocked_clients
* set back the client readHandler
* continue processing the pending command and input buffer.
*Some notes regarding the new implementation*
---------------------------------------------------
1. Although it was proposed, it is currently difficult to remove the
read handler from the client while it is blocked.
The reason is that a blocked client should be unblocked when it is
disconnected, or we might consume data into void.
2. While this PR mainly keep the current blocking logic as-is, there
might be some future additions to the infrastructure that we would
like to have:
- allow non-preemptive blocking of client - sometimes we can think
that a new kind of blocking can be expected to not be preempt. for
example lets imagine we hold some keys on disk and when a command
needs to process them it will block until the keys are uploaded.
in this case we will want the client to not disconnect or be
unblocked until the process is completed (remove the client read
handler, prevent client timeout, disable unblock via debug command etc...).
- allow generic blocking based on command declared keys - we might
want to add a hook before command processing to check if any of the
declared keys require the command to block. this way it would be
easier to add new kinds of key-based blocking mechanisms.

Add a new module event `RedisModule_Event_Key`, this event is fired
when a key is removed from the keyspace.
The event includes an open key that can be used for reading the key before
it is removed. Modules can also extract the key-name, and use RM_Open
or RM_Call to access key from within that event, but shouldn't modify anything
from within this event.
The following sub events are available:
- `REDISMODULE_SUBEVENT_KEY_DELETED`
- `REDISMODULE_SUBEVENT_KEY_EXPIRED`
- `REDISMODULE_SUBEVENT_KEY_EVICTED`
- `REDISMODULE_SUBEVENT_KEY_OVERWRITE`
The data pointer can be casted to a RedisModuleKeyInfo structure
with the following fields:
```
RedisModuleKey *key; // Opened Key
```
### internals
* We also add two dict functions:
`dictTwoPhaseUnlinkFind` finds an element from the table, also get the plink of the entry.
The entry is returned if the element is found. The user should later call `dictTwoPhaseUnlinkFree`
with it in order to unlink and release it. Otherwise if the key is not found, NULL is returned.
These two functions should be used in pair. `dictTwoPhaseUnlinkFind` pauses rehash and
`dictTwoPhaseUnlinkFree` resumes rehash.
* We change `dbOverwrite` to `dbReplaceValue` which just replaces the value of the key and
doesn't fire any events. The "overwrite" part (which emits events) is just when called from `setKey`,
the other places that called dbOverwrite were ones that just update the value in-place (INCR*, SPOP,
and dbUnshareStringValue). This should not have any real impact since `moduleNotifyKeyUnlink` and
`signalDeletedKeyAsReady` wouldn't have mattered in these cases anyway (i.e. module keys and
stream keys didn't have direct calls to dbOverwrite)
* since we allow doing RM_OpenKey from withing these callbacks, we temporarily disable lazy expiry.
* We also temporarily disable lazy expiry when we are in unlink/unlink2 callback and keyspace
notification callback.
* Move special definitions to the top of redismodule.h
This is needed to resolve compilation errors with RedisModuleKeyInfoV1
that carries a RedisModuleKey member.

Fixing few macros that doesn't follows most basic safety conventions
which is wrapping any usage of passed variable
with parentheses and if written more than one command, then wrap
it with do-while(0) (or parentheses).
This caused a crash when adding elements larger than 2GB to a set (same goes for hash keys). See #8455.
Details:
* The fix makes the dict hash functions receive a `size_t` instead of an `int`. In practice the dict hash functions
call siphash which receives a `size_t` and the callers to the hash function pass a `size_t` to it so the fix is trivial.
* The issue was recreated by attempting to add a >2gb value to a set. Appropriate tests were added where I create
a set with large elements and check basic functionality on it (SADD, SCARD, SPOP, etc...).
* When I added the tests I also refactored a bit all the tests code which is run under the `--large-memory` flag.
This removed code duplication for the test framework's `write_big_bulk` and `write_big_bulk` code and also takes
care of not allocating the test frameworks helper huge string used by these tests when not run under `--large-memory`.
* I also added the _violoations.tcl_ unit tests to be part of the entire test suite and leaned up non relevant list related
tests that were in there. This was done in this PR because most of the _violations_ tests are "large memory" tests.
- Added sanitizer support. `address`, `undefined` and `thread` sanitizers are available.
- To build Redis with desired sanitizer : `make SANITIZER=undefined`
- There were some sanitizer findings, cleaned up codebase
- Added tests with address and undefined behavior sanitizers to daily CI.
- Added tests with address sanitizer to the per-PR CI (smoke out mem leaks sooner).
Basically, there are three types of issues :
**1- Unaligned load/store** : Most probably, this issue may cause a crash on a platform that
does not support unaligned access. Redis does unaligned access only on supported platforms.
**2- Signed integer overflow.** Although, signed overflow issue can be problematic time to time
and change how compiler generates code, current findings mostly about signed shift or simple
addition overflow. For most platforms Redis can be compiled for, this wouldn't cause any issue
as far as I can tell (checked generated code on godbolt.org).
**3 -Minor leak** (redis-cli), **use-after-free**(just before calling exit());
UB means nothing guaranteed and risky to reason about program behavior but I don't think any
of the fixes here worth backporting. As sanitizers are now part of the CI, preventing new issues
will be the real benefit.
* Enhance dict to support arbitrary metadata carried in dictEntry
Co-authored-by: Viktor Söderqvist <viktor.soderqvist@est.tech>
* Rewrite slot-to-keys mapping to linked lists using dict entry metadata
This is a memory enhancement for Redis Cluster.
The radix tree slots_to_keys (which duplicates all key names prefixed with their
slot number) is replaced with a linked list for each slot. The dict entries of
the same cluster slot form a linked list and the pointers are stored as metadata
in each dict entry of the main DB dict.
This commit also moves the slot-to-key API from db.c to cluster.c.

- Remove `privdata` from callbacks and dict creation. (this affects many files, see "Interface change" below).
- Meld `dictht` struct into the `dict` struct to eliminate struct padding. (this affects just dict.c and defrag.c)
- Eliminate the `sizemask` field, can be calculated from size when needed.
- Convert the `size` field into `size_exp` (exponent), utilizes one byte instead of 8.
Interface change: pass dict pointer to dict type call back functions.
This is instead of passing the removed privdata field. In the future if
we'd like to have private data in the callbacks we can extract it from
the dict type. We can extend dictType to include a custom dict struct
allocator and use it to allocate more data at the end of the dict
struct. This data can then be used to store private data later acccessed
by the callbacks.
1. Add `redis-server test all` support to run all tests.
2. Add redis test to daily ci.
3. Add `--accurate` option to run slow tests for more iterations (so that
by default we run less cycles (shorter time, and less prints).
4. Move dict benchmark to REDIS_TEST.
5. fix some leaks in tests
6. make quicklist tests run on a specific fill set of options rather than huge ranges
7. move some prints in quicklist test outside their loops to reduce prints
8. removing sds.h from dict.c since it is now used in both redis-server and
redis-cli (uses hiredis sds)
The `dict` field `iterators` is misleading and incorrect.
This variable is used for 1 purpose - to pause rehashing.
The current `iterators` field doesn't actually count "iterators".
It counts "safe iterators". But - it doesn't actually count safe iterators
either. For one, it's only incremented once the safe iterator begins to
iterate, not when it's created. It's also incremented in `dictScan` to
prevent rehashing (and commented to make it clear why `iterators` is
being incremented during a scan).
This update renames the field as `pauserehash` and creates 2 helper
macros `dictPauseRehashing(d)` and `dictResumeRehashing(d)`
When a database on a 64 bit build grows past 2^31 keys, the underlying hash table expands to 2^32 buckets. After this point, the algorithms for selecting random elements only return elements from half of the available buckets because they use random() which has a range of 0 to 2^31 - 1. This causes problems for eviction policies which use dictGetSomeKeys or dictGetRandomKey. Over time they cause the hash table to become unbalanced because, while new keys are spread out evenly across all buckets, evictions come from only half of the available buckets. Eventually this half of the table starts to run out of keys and it takes longer and longer to find candidates for eviction. This continues until no more evictions can happen.
This solution addresses this by using a 64 bit PRNG instead of libc random().

As we know, redis may reject user's requests or evict some keys if
used memory is over maxmemory. Dictionaries expanding may make
things worse, some big dictionaries, such as main db and expires dict,
may eat huge memory at once for allocating a new big hash table and be
far more than maxmemory after expanding.
There are related issues: #4213#4583
More details, when expand dict in redis, we will allocate a new big
ht[1] that generally is double of ht[0], The size of ht[1] will be
very big if ht[0] already is big. For db dict, if we have more than
64 million keys, we need to cost 1GB for ht[1] when dict expands.
If the sum of used memory and new hash table of dict needed exceeds
maxmemory, we shouldn't allow the dict to expand. Because, if we
enable keys eviction, we still couldn't add much more keys after
eviction and rehashing, what's worse, redis will keep less keys when
redis only remains a little memory for storing new hash table instead
of users' data. Moreover users can't write data in redis if disable
keys eviction.
What this commit changed ?
Add a new member function expandAllowed for dict type, it provide a way
for caller to allow expand or not. We expose two parameters for this
function: more memory needed for expanding and dict current load factor,
users can implement a function to make a decision by them.
For main db dict and expires dict type, these dictionaries may be very
big and cost huge memory for expanding, so we implement a judgement
function: we can stop dict to expand provisionally if used memory will
be over maxmemory after dict expands, but to guarantee the performance
of redis, we still allow dict to expand if dict load factor exceeds the
safe load factor.
Add test cases to verify we don't allow main db to expand when left
memory is not enough, so that avoid keys eviction.
Other changes:
For new hash table size when expand. Before this commit, the size is
that double used of dict and later _dictNextPower. Actually we aim to
control a dict load factor between 0.5 and 1.0. Now we replace *2 with
+1, since the first check is that used >= size, the outcome of before
will usually be the same as _dictNextPower(used+1). The only case where
it'll differ is when dict_can_resize is false during fork, so that later
the _dictNextPower(used*2) will cause the dict to jump to *4 (i.e.
_dictNextPower(1025*2) will return 4096).
Fix rehash test cases due to changing algorithm of new hash table size
when expand.
This change attempts to switch to an hash function which mitigates
the effects of the HashDoS attack (denial of service attack trying
to force data structures to worst case behavior) while at the same time
providing Redis with an hash function that does not expect the input
data to be word aligned, a condition no longer true now that sds.c
strings have a varialbe length header.
Note that it is possible sometimes that even using an hash function
for which collisions cannot be generated without knowing the seed,
special implementation details or the exposure of the seed in an
indirect way (for example the ability to add elements to a Set and
check the return in which Redis returns them with SMEMBERS) may
make the attacker's life simpler in the process of trying to guess
the correct seed, however the next step would be to switch to a
log(N) data structure when too many items in a single bucket are
detected: this seems like an overkill in the case of Redis.
SPEED REGRESION TESTS:
In order to verify that switching from MurmurHash to SipHash had
no impact on speed, a set of benchmarks involving fast insertion
of 5 million of keys were performed.
The result shows Redis with SipHash in high pipelining conditions
to be about 4% slower compared to using the previous hash function.
However this could partially be related to the fact that the current
implementation does not attempt to hash whole words at a time but
reads single bytes, in order to have an output which is endian-netural
and at the same time working on systems where unaligned memory accesses
are a problem.
Further X86 specific optimizations should be tested, the function
may easily get at the same level of MurMurHash2 if a few optimizations
are performed.
Notes by @antirez:
This patch was picked from a larger commit by Oran and adapted to change
the API a bit. The basic idea is to avoid double lookups when there is
to use the value of the deleted entry.
BEFORE:
entry = dictFind( ... ); /* 1st lookup. */
/* Do somethjing with the entry. */
dictDelete(...); /* 2nd lookup. */
AFTER:
entry = dictUnlink( ... ); /* 1st lookup. */
/* Do somethjing with the entry. */
dictFreeUnlinkedEntry(entry); /* No lookups!. */
The command reports information about the hash table internal state
representing the specified database ID.
This can be used in order to investigate rehashings, memory usage issues
and for other debugging purposes.
The old version of SPOP with "count" argument used an API call of dict.c
which was actually designed for a different goal, and was not capable of
good distribution. We follow a different three-cases approach optimized
for different ratiion between sets and requested number of elements.
The implementation is simpler and allowed the removal of a large amount
of code.
This allows to support datasets with more than 2 billion of keys
(possible in very large memory instances, this bug was actually
reported).
Closes issue #1814.
This new function is useful to get a number of random entries from an
hash table when we just need to do some sampling without particularly
good distribution.
It just jumps at a random place of the hash table and returns the first
N items encountered by scanning linearly.
The main usefulness of this function is to speedup Redis internal
sampling of the key space, for example for key eviction or expiry.
Redis hash table implementation has many non-blocking features like
incremental rehashing, however while deleting a large hash table there
was no way to have a callback called to do some incremental work.
This commit adds this support, as an optiona callback argument to
dictEmpty() that is currently called at a fixed interval (one time every
65k deletions).
