399-433: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winTighten Test 8: the base-file comment and the final assertion do not match the mechanics.
Two points:
- Line 402 calls
waitForBgrewriteaofwithout requesting a rewrite. The call can return immediately, socounter 0is not guaranteed to reach the AOF base file. Issue an explicitbgrewriteaofbefore the increments if the base file must capture that state.- Line 433 cannot observe double-application. The test asserts a full sync, and a full sync replaces the replica dataset with the primary snapshot. The value is 10 in both the correct and the corrupted case. Compare against the primary value instead, and describe the assertion as a consistency check.

When a replica uses AOF-only persistence (no RDB), the replication ID and offset were never saved to or restored from disk. On restart the replica generated a fresh random replid with no cached primary, so PSYNC always failed with "Partial resynchronization not possible (no cached primary)" and the primary fell back to a full resync every time, even though the dataset itself loaded correctly from AOF. The RDB load path in loadDataFromDisk() already restores repl-id/ offset from RDB aux fields and calls replicationCachePrimaryUsingMyself() so a restarted replica can attempt PSYNC. The AOF load path had no equivalent: - rewriteAppendOnlyFile() wrote the AOF base file via rdbSaveRio() with a NULL rsi, so repl-id/repl-offset aux fields were never written into the AOF base file. - loadSingleAppendOnlyFile() read the AOF base file via rdbLoadRio() with a NULL rsi, discarding any repl-id/repl-offset even if present. - loadDataFromDisk() never applied the replid/offset restoration logic on the AOF_ON branch. This change plumbs a populated rdbSaveInfo through the AOF write/read/load path so a replica that persists only via AOF can restore its replication ID and offset on restart and attempt a partial resync with its primary, instead of always requiring a full sync.

Fixes #4412 — replicas using AOF-only persistence (no RDB) performed a
full resync after every restart, even when the AOF loaded successfully,
because the replication ID and offset had never persisted to or
restored from disk on that path.
Root cause
loadDataFromDisk()already restoresreplid/primary_repl_offsetfrom RDB aux fields and calls
replicationCachePrimaryUsingMyself()soa restarted replica can attempt
PSYNC. The AOF path had no equivalent:rewriteAppendOnlyFile()wrote the AOF base file viardbSaveRio()with a
NULLrsi, so therepl-id/repl-offsetaux fields werenever written into the AOF base file.
loadSingleAppendOnlyFile()read the AOF base file viardbLoadRio()with a
NULLrsi, discarding anyrepl-id/repl-offsetevenif they were present.
loadDataFromDisk()never applied the replid/offset restorationlogic on the
AOF_ONbranch.Net effect: every replica restart with AOF-only persistence generated a
fresh random replid and no cached primary — partial resync was
structurally impossible, matching the reported "Partial
resynchronization not possible (no cached primary)" symptom.
Fix
rewriteAppendOnlyFile()now passes a populatedrdbSaveInfo(viardbPopulateSaveInfo()) intordbSaveRio(), so the AOF base filegets
repl-id/repl-offsetaux fields, same as an RDB file.loadSingleAppendOnlyFile()/loadAppendOnlyFiles()now accept andpropagate an
rdbSaveInfo *rsiout throughrdbLoadRio().loadDataFromDisk()'sAOF_ONbranch now restoresserver.replid/server.primary_repl_offsetand callsreplicationCachePrimaryUsingMyself()for replicas, mirroring theexisting RDB-branch logic.
reported issue); primary-side
replid2/backlog restoration on theAOF path is left out since it would require also creating a
replication backlog earlier in startup, which is outside this
bug's scope.
Test plan
tests/integration/replication-aof-sync.tcl: "Replica restartwith AOF-only persistence can partial resync with primary" — starts
a primary/replica pair with
appendonly yes,save "", restarts thereplica, and asserts
sync_partial_ok == 1/sync_full == 0on theprimary after reconnect, plus data integrity.
