It is not clear if files open in append only mode will automatically fix
their offset after a truncate(2) operation. This commit makes sure that
we reposition the AOF file descriptor offset at the end of the file
after a truncated AOF is loaded and trimmed to the last valid command.
Recently we introduced the ability to load truncated AOFs, but
unfortuantely the support was broken since the server, after loading the
truncated AOF, continues appending to the file that is corrupted at the
end. The problem is fixed only in the next AOF rewrite.
This commit fixes the issue by truncating the AOF to the last valid
opcode, and aborting if it is not possible to truncate the file
correctly.
Because of the new ability to start with a truncated AOF, we need
to correctly release all the memory on EOF error. Otherwise there is a
small leak, that is not really a problem, but causes a false positive in
the tests that detect memory leaks.
This commit adds peer ID caching in the client structure plus an API
change and the use of sdsMakeRoomFor() in order to improve the
reallocation pattern to generate the CLIENT LIST output.
Both the changes account for a very significant speedup.
When we are blocked and a few events a processed from time to time, it
is smarter to call the event handler a few times in order to handle the
accept, read, write, close cycle of a client in a single pass, otherwise
there is too much latency added for clients to receive a reply while the
server is busy in some way (for example during the DB loading).
Previously, the (!fp) would only catch lack of free space
under OS X. Linux waits to discover it can't write until
it actually writes contents to disk.
(fwrite() returns success even if the underlying file
has no free space to write into. All the errors
only show up at flush/sync/close time.)
Fixesantirez/redis#1604
A system similar to the RDB write error handling is used, in which when
we can't write to the AOF file, writes are no longer accepted until we
are able to write again.
For fsync == always we still abort on errors since there is currently no
easy way to avoid replying with success to the user otherwise, and this
would violate the contract with the user of only acknowledging data
already secured on disk.
There was a race condition in the AOF rewrite code that, with bad enough
timing, could cause a volatile key just about to expire to be turned
into a non-volatile key. The bug was never reported to cause actualy
issues, but was found analytically by an user in the Redis mailing list:
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/redis-db/Kvh2FAGK4Uk
This commit fixes issue #1079.
This prevents the kernel from putting too much stuff in the output
buffers, doing too heavy I/O all at once. So the goal of this commit is
to split the disk pressure due to the AOF rewrite process into smaller
spikes.
Please see issue #1019 for more information.
This commit allows Redis to set a process name that includes the binding
address and the port number in order to make operations simpler.
Redis children processes doing AOF rewrites or RDB saving change the
name into redis-aof-rewrite and redis-rdb-bgsave respectively.
This in general makes harder to kill the wrong process because of an
error and makes simpler to identify saving children.
This feature was suggested by Arnaud GRANAL in the Redis Google Group,
Arnaud also pointed me to the setproctitle.c implementation includeed in
this commit.
This feature should work on all the Linux, OSX, and all the three major
BSD systems.
decrRefCount used to get its argument as a void* pointer in order to be
used as destructor where a 'void free_object(void*)' prototype is
expected. However this made simpler to introduce bugs by freeing the
wrong pointer. This commit fixes the argument type and introduces a new
wrapper called decrRefCountVoid() that can be used when the void*
argument is needed.
This commit fixes issue #875 that was caused by the following events:
1) There is an active child doing BGSAVE.
2) flushall is called (or any other condition that makes Redis killing
the saving child process).
3) An error is sensed by Redis as the child exited with an error (killed
by a singal), that stops accepting write commands until a BGSAVE happens
to be executed with success.
Whitelisting SIGUSR1 and making sure Redis always uses this signal in
order to kill its own children fixes the issue.
Sometimes it is much simpler to debug complex Redis installations if it
is possible to assign clients a name that is displayed in the CLIENT
LIST output.
This is the case, for example, for "leaked" connections. The ability to
provide a name to the client makes it quite trivial to understand what
is the part of the code implementing the client not releasing the
resources appropriately.
Behavior:
CLIENT SETNAME: set a name for the client, or remove the current
name if an empty name is set.
CLIENT GETNAME: get the current name, or a nil.
CLIENT LIST: now displays the client name if any.
Thanks to Mark Gravell for pushing this idea forward.
Finally Redis is able to report the amount of memory used by
copy-on-write while saving an RDB or writing an AOF file in background.
Note that this information is currently only logged (at NOTICE level)
and not shown in INFO because this is less trivial (but surely doable
with some minor form of interprocess communication).
The reason we can't capture this information on the parent before we
call wait3() is that the Linux kernel will release the child memory
ASAP, and only retain the minimal state for the process that is useful
to report the child termination to the parent.
The COW size is obtained by summing all the Private_Dirty fields found
in the "smap" file inside the proc filesystem for the process.
All this is Linux specific and is not available on other systems.
If Redis only manages to write out a partial buffer, the AOF file won't
load back into Redis the next time it starts up. It is better to
discard the short write than waste time running redis-check-aof.
Behaves like rdb_last_bgsave_status -- even down to reporting 'ok' when
no rewrite has been done yet. (You might want to check that
aof_last_rewrite_time_sec is not -1.)
The 'persistence' section of INFO output now contains additional four
fields related to RDB and AOF persistence:
rdb_last_bgsave_time_sec Duration of latest BGSAVE in sec.
rdb_current_bgsave_time_sec Duration of current BGSAVE in sec.
aof_last_rewrite_time_sec Duration of latest AOF rewrite in sec.
aof_current_rewrite_time_sec Duration of current AOF rewrite in sec.
The 'current' fields are set to -1 if a BGSAVE / AOF rewrite is not in
progress. The 'last' fileds are set to -1 if no previous BGSAVE / AOF
rewrites were performed.
Additionally a few fields in the persistence section were renamed for
consistency:
changes_since_last_save -> rdb_changes_since_last_save
bgsave_in_progress -> rdb_bgsave_in_progress
last_save_time -> rdb_last_save_time
last_bgsave_status -> rdb_last_bgsave_status
bgrewriteaof_in_progress -> aof_rewrite_in_progress
bgrewriteaof_scheduled -> aof_rewrite_scheduled
After the renaming, fields in the persistence section start with rdb_ or
aof_ prefix depending on the persistence method they describe.
The field 'loading' and related fields are not prefixed because they are
unique for both the persistence methods.
During the AOF rewrite process, the parent process needs to accumulate
the new writes in an in-memory buffer: when the child will terminate the
AOF rewriting process this buffer (that ist the difference between the
dataset when the rewrite was started, and the current dataset) is
flushed to the new AOF file.
We used to implement this buffer using an sds.c string, but sds.c has a
2GB limit. Sometimes the dataset can be big enough, the amount of writes
so high, and the rewrite process slow enough that we overflow the 2GB
limit, causing a crash, documented on github by issue #504.
In order to prevent this from happening, this commit introduces a new
system to accumulate writes, implemented by a linked list of blocks of
10 MB each, so that we also avoid paying the reallocation cost.
Note that theoretically modern operating systems may implement realloc()
simply as a remaping of the old pages, thus with very good performances,
see for instance the mremap() syscall on Linux. However this is not
always true, and jemalloc by default avoids doing this because there are
issues with the current implementation of mremap().
For this reason we are using a linked list of blocks instead of a single
block that gets reallocated again and again.
The changes in this commit lacks testing, that will be performed before
merging into the unstable branch. This fix will not enter 2.4 because it
is too invasive. However 2.4 will log a warning when the AOF rewrite
buffer is near to the 2GB limit.
This makes the code more readable, it is still not the case to split the
file itself into three different files, but the logical separation
improves the readability especially since new commits are going to
introduce an additional section.
This new field counts all the times Redis is configured with AOF enabled and
fsync policy 'everysec', but the previous fsync performed by the
background thread was not able to complete within two seconds, forcing
Redis to perform a write against the AOF file while the fsync is still
in progress (likely a blocking operation).
