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) |

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
