Starting redis 6.0 and the changes we made to the diskless master to be suitable for TLS, I made the master avoid reaping (wait3) the pid of the child until we know all replicas are done reading their rdb. I did that in order to avoid a state where the rdb_child_pid is -1 but we don't yet want to start another fork (still busy serving that data to replicas). It turns out that the solution used so far was problematic in case the fork child was being killed (e.g. by the kernel OOM killer), in that case there's a chance that we currently disabled the read event on the rdb pipe, since we're waiting for a replica to become writable again. and in that scenario the master would have never realized the child exited, and the replica will remain hung too. Note that there's no mechanism to detect a hung replica while it's in rdb transfer state. The solution here is to add another pipe which is used by the parent to tell the child it is safe to exit. this mean that when the child exits, for whatever reason, it is safe to reap it.

@yossigo i had to rebase due to a conflict (two adjacent changes). this adjustment was part of the original #6271 and got removed before merging (#6271 (review)) because it was no longer relevant after the introduction of the TLS fork/pipe changes (5a47794). but with this change it becomes relevant again. p.s. testing the i'll update the commit comment to reflect the above when squashing. |

Besides that, i'm re-introducing an adjustment to REPLCONF ACK which was part of redis#6271 (Accelerate diskless master connections) but was dropped when that PR was rebased after the TLS fork/pipe changes (5a47794). Now that RdbPipeCleanup no longer calls checkChildrenDone, and the ACK has chance to detect that the child exited, it should be the one to call it so that we don't have to wait for cron (server.hz) to do that.

Starting redis 6.0 and the changes we made to the diskless master to be
suitable for TLS, I made the master avoid reaping (wait3) the pid of the
child until we know all replicas are done reading their rdb.
I did that in order to avoid a state where the rdb_child_pid is -1 but
we don't yet want to start another fork (still busy serving that data to
replicas).
It turns out that the solution used so far was problematic in case the
fork child was being killed (e.g. by the kernel OOM killer), in that
case there's a chance that we currently disabled the read event on the
rdb pipe, since we're waiting for a replica to become writable again.
and in that scenario the master would have never realized the child
exited, and the replica will remain hung too.
Note that there's no mechanism to detect a hung replica while it's in
rdb transfer state.
The solution here is to add another pipe which is used by the parent to
tell the child it is safe to exit. this mean that when the child exits,
for whatever reason, it is safe to reap it.
