Changes: 1. Adds the `redis.acl_check_cmd()` api to lua scripts. It can be used to check if the current user has permissions to execute a given command. The new function receives the command to check as an argument exactly like `redis.call()` receives the command to execute as an argument. 2. In the PR I unified the code used to convert lua arguments to redis argv arguments from both the new `redis.acl_check_cmd()` API and the `redis.[p]call()` API. This cleans up potential duplicate code. 3. While doing the refactoring in 2 I noticed there's an optimization to reduce allocation calls when parsing lua arguments into an `argv` array in the `redis.[p]call()` implementation. These optimizations were introduced years ago in48c49c4851and4f686555ce. It is unclear why this was added. The original commit message claims a 4% performance increase which I couldn't recreate and might not be worth it even if it did recreate. This PR removes that optimization. Following are details of the benchmark I did that couldn't reveal any performance improvements due to this optimization: ``` benchmark 1: src/redis-benchmark -P 500 -n 10000000 eval 'return redis.call("ping")' 0 benchmark 2: src/redis-benchmark -P 500 -r 1000 -n 1000000 eval 'return redis.call("mset","k1__rand_int__","v1__rand_int__","k2__rand_int__","v2__rand_int__","k3__rand_int__","v3__rand_int__","k4__rand_int__","v4__rand_int__")' 0 benchmark 3: src/redis-benchmark -P 500 -r 1000 -n 100000 eval "for i=1,100,1 do redis.call('set','kk'..i,'vv'..__rand_int__) end return redis.call('get','kk5')" 0 benchmark 4: src/redis-benchmark -P 500 -r 1000 -n 1000000 eval 'return redis.call("mset","k1__rand_int__","v1__rand_int__","k2__rand_int__","v2__rand_int__","k3__rand_int__","v3__rand_int__","k4__rand_int__","v4__rand_int__xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx")' ``` I ran the benchmark on this branch with and without commit68b71680a4Results in requests per second: cmd | without optimization | without optimization 2nd run | with original optimization | with original optimization 2nd run -- | -- | -- | -- | -- 1 | 461233.34 | 477395.31 | 471098.16 | 469946.91 2 | 34774.14 | 35469.8 | 35149.38 | 34464.93 3 | 6390.59 | 6281.41 | 6146.28 | 6464.12 4 | 28005.71 | | 27965.77 | As you can see, different use cases showed identical or negligible performance differences. So finally I decided to chuck the original optimization and simplify the code.
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
