A client blocking system (blockInUse) that prevents concurrent access to keys actively being modified by internal operations (e.g., bgIteration). The mechanism blocks clients attempting to access in-use keys and automatically unblocks them when keys become available. When a client is blocked by blockInUse, its read handler is removed so the event loop stops monitoring read events for that connection, preventing new commands from being buffered into c->querybuf while the client is waiting. The read handler is restored in processUnblockedClients() when the client is unblocked. To avoid leaking zombie file descriptors, clientsCronTcpIsClosing() is added to detect and free connections that were closed by the remote side while the read handler was removed.

using the same condition as rewriteAppendOnlyFileBackground, and schedule the
append-only startup instead of calling it immediately. Preserve the existing
behavior for inactive saves and ensure forkless saves do not return C_ERR or
trigger restartAOFAfterSYNC failure retries.
In `@src/bgiteration.h`:
- Around line 85-135: Update the parameter documentation above
bgIteratorCreateFullScanIter and bgIteratorCreateSlotsIter to replace FLAGS with
CONSISTENCY, describing the bgIteratorConsistency argument accurately; leave the
function signatures and other documentation unchanged.
In `@src/blocked.c`:
- Around line 1016-1029: Add an assertion in unlinkBlockInUseClient after
listSearchKey and before listDelNode to require a non-NULL list node, then pass
the validated node to listDelNode. Preserve the existing cleanup and hashtable
deletion behavior.
In `@src/commands/bgsave.json`:
- Around line 30-59: Update the bgsave command definition so the cancel option
is mutually exclusive with schedule and save-type: model cancel as an
alternative branch to the block containing schedule and save-type, while
preserving schedule’s ability to combine with fork or forkless.
In `@src/forkless.c`:
- Around line 161-193: Update forklessSaveCloseSnapshotFile to flush the
buffered FILE stream before calling fsync, preserving the order flush, fsync,
then fclose; set err_code and handle failures consistently with the existing
cleanup flow. After a successful rename, call the existing fsyncFileDir helper
for saveInfo->final_file to persist the directory entry.
- Around line 374-381: Update the estimated_seconds_remaining calculation in the
status.dbentries_processed block to clamp remaining keys at zero when total_keys
is less than or equal to processed entries, and compute the time estimate using
overflow-safe arithmetic before converting to seconds. Preserve the existing
estimate for valid positive remaining counts.
- Line 132: Remove the worker-thread assignment that clears currentForklessSave,
and ensure it is cleared only on the main-thread path. Before calling
bgIteratorTerminate, validate saveInfo->iterator is non-NULL because
forklessSaveComplete may clear it while cancellation is still possible during
file cleanup.
In `@src/networking.c`:
- Around line 4006-4007: Guard the post-batch connUpdateState() call with the
command-processing result, invoking it only when the result is C_OK. Preserve
the existing close_asap and pending_command handling while preventing state
updates after C_ERR in the surrounding command-processing flow.
In `@src/object.c`:
- Around line 94-116: Remove the test-order dependency around
object_metadata_size by adding a safe test reset path or isolating tests with
separate metadata configurations. Ensure metadata_without_key,
metadata_changes_embed_threshold, and metadata_disabled each establish their
intended metadata size independently, without changing production behavior of
objectSetMetadataSize.
- Line 484: In both replacement paths in object-update handling, preserve the
existing metadata from the old entry before zeroing or reinitializing new, then

iterator_epoch survives read-only reallocations such as VM_StringDMA. Add a
regression test verifying consistent iteration detects the reallocated/modified
data.

- Around line 4173-4208: Update the BGSAVE option documentation near the command
parser to match the implemented behavior: remove the “standalone only”
qualification from CANCEL unless a cluster-mode restriction is intentionally
added and enforced in the CANCEL branch. Keep the existing cancellation handling

- Around line 3438-3458: Update detectWriteFirstkeyOnlyCommand to return without
setting CMD_WRITE_FIRSTKEY_ONLY when the command has CMD_MOVABLE_KEYS or
CMD_MODULE_GETKEYS, or when any key spec has CMD_KEY_VARIABLE_FLAGS or
CMD_KEY_INCOMPLETE. Keep the existing first-key and remaining read-only checks
unchanged.
In `@src/socket.c`:
- Around line 425-442: Update connSocketIsClosing to return false before calling
aeGetFileEvents when conn->fd is -1, validate Linux TCP_INFO using only the
minimum length required to access tcpi_state rather than sizeof(struct
tcp_info), and remove reliance on the internal macOS netinet/tcp_fsm.h header by
using a supported state mapping or disabling the macOS-specific branch.
In `@src/tls.c`:
- Line 2025: Update the .is_closing predicate to use a TLS-specific connection
closing check that accounts for TLS_CONN_FLAG_HAS_PENDING, ensuring connections
with buffered application data are not reported as closing before
connTypeProcessPendingData() runs. Preserve normal connSocketIsClosing behavior
when no TLS data is pending.
In `@src/unit/test_object.cpp`:
- Around line 44-58: Update findMaxEmbeddableValueLen to explicitly detect when
the loop reaches the upper bound without finding a non-embedded value, and fail
immediately with a clear assertion or test failure; preserve the existing return
of the last embeddable length when the loop breaks normally.
- Around line 273-285: Make the process-global metadata transition explicit in
src/unit/test_object.cpp:273-285 within metadata_changes_embed_threshold and
keep all metadata-enabling tests grouped so they run after tests requiring

explicitly assert or document the disabled-metadata precondition; at :203-212
metadata_without_key, keep the irreversible enable transition grouped with the
other enabling tests. Ensure these tests no longer rely on GoogleTest
declaration order and preserve the expected global state assertions.
In `@tests/integration/rdb.tcl`:

The metadata tests share one hidden dependency: the process-global object_metadata_size. objectSetMetadataSize in src/object.c stores the size in a file-scope variable and asserts object_metadata_size == 0 before accepting a new non-zero value, so no test can restore it to 0. Once any test enables metadata, every later test in the process sees metadata enabled. The tests pass today only because GoogleTest runs them in declaration order; --gtest_filter, --gtest_shuffle, or a new test inserted after the enabling tests breaks them. Add an explicit ordering guard, for example a fixture flag or a single test that owns the enable transition, and assert the expected global state at the start of each affected test rather than assuming it.

Disable RDB compression before inspecting the raw file.
The test searches the RDB file for the literal strings k1 and k2. That works only while the file is not compressed as a whole. rdbcompression also accepts lz4, which applies streaming frame compression to the entire RDB file, so the key names are not present as plain bytes. If a test run configures rdbcompression lz4, both assertions fail.
Set rdbcompression no on this server before the save.

Restore maxmemory before debug reload.
The test lowers maxmemory to 3/4 of the used memory and sets allkeys-lru, then reloads the full snapshot at Line 1085 with both settings still active. Loading the snapshot restores every original key, so the dataset returns to the memory level that already triggered evictions. The server can evict keys during or right after the load, and the assertions at Lines 1086-1096 then fail intermittently.
Reset maxmemory to 0 after the eviction check and before the reload.

rdb-key-save-delay is reset to 0 before bgsave cancel in six cleanup blocks. Removing the per-key delay lets the running forkless save finish almost immediately, so the following BGSAVE CANCEL can arrive after the save already completed. The server then returns ERR Background saving is currently not in progress or scheduled and the test fails. The fix at every site is the same: cancel first, then reset the delay.

Reviewed the forkless-save merge with a focus on the new bgiteration/forkless code and its integration points (defrag, db, rdb, blocked). Three issues below that I could trace to specific lines: an unguarded lazily-created DB pointer, a missing bgIteration_updateDbEntryPtr() on the defrag relocation path, and a temp-file name shared with the synchronous rdbSave() path.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
server.db[] slots are created lazily (createDatabaseIfNeeded, src/server.c:2991), so server.db[dbid] is NULL for any DB that hasn't been touched since startup, and dbFind() dereferences db->keys with no NULL check (src/db.c:2287).
dbid here comes straight from the command arguments. expediteKeysForMove passes the MOVE target, which getDbIdFromRobj only range-checks, and expediteKeysForCopy passes the COPY ... DB n target. Both moveCommand and copyCommand create the destination DB with selectDb() while they execute (src/db.c:1594, src/db.c:1659), but bgIteration_blockClientIfRequired() runs at the top of call() before c->cmd->proc(c), so at this point the DB is still NULL. MOVE k 3 with a forkless save running and DB 3 never used segfaults here.
expediteKeysForWrite has the same hole at lines 1285, 1316 and 1379 when it is reached from expediteKeysForMultiExec: curDb is taken from a SELECT that is still queued and has not run yet, so MULTI; SELECT 3; SET foo bar; EXEC hits it too.
A key can't live in a DB that doesn't exist, so skipping is safe. Same guard is needed at the three expediteKeysForWrite sites:
| dbEntry *de = dbFind(server.db[dbid], key); | |
| if (server.db[dbid] == NULL) return false; // DB not created yet - nothing to expedite | |
| dbEntry *de = dbFind(server.db[dbid], key); |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
activeDefragStringOb() frees the old robj and returns a new address, and this block fixes up db->keys, db->expires and db->keys_with_volatile_items — but not bgIteration's early_iterate_entries, which is a set keyed on raw dbEntry pointers (src/bgiteration.c:385, added at src/bgiteration.c:1090).
The bgIteration_isEntryInuse(ob) guard added above only covers inUseEntries; membership in early_iterate_entries takes no reference. When addEarlyIterationKey() clones the entry, makeDbEntryItem(..., isCloned=true) skips incrementEntryInuse entirely (src/bgiteration.c:851), and in the non-cloned case the refcount drops back to 1 as soon as decrementEntryInuse() runs on item return — in both cases the original dbEntry is defrag-eligible while still listed in early_iterate_entries.
Once it is relocated, feedIterator's hashtableDelete(it->early_iterate_entries, de) (src/bgiteration.c:1049) no longer matches, so the key gets serialized a second time; and the stale address can later be handed back to an unrelated dbEntry, which would then be skipped and go missing from the snapshot. Defrag keeps running during a forkless save — activeDefragCycle only backs off for hasActiveChildProcess() (src/defrag.c:1139), which is false with no child.
Notify bgIteration the same way dbSetValue does (src/db.c:375); the API explicitly tolerates the old pointer already being freed:
| *elemref = newob; | |
| *elemref = newob; | |
| bgIteration_updateDbEntryPtr(ob, newob); |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This is the same temp path rdbSave() uses — snprintf(tmpfile, 256, "temp-%d.rdb", (int)getpid()) at src/rdb.c:1692 — and both run in this one process, so an in-flight forkless save and a synchronous save collide on a single file.
forklessSaveCancel() only flags the iterator for termination; the forkless writer thread keeps its FILE * on that path, and the bio cleanup job later unlinks it by rebuilt name via rdbRemoveTempFile(getpid(), 0) (line 185). Three callers cancel and then save synchronously without waiting for the writer to wind down: flushAllDataAndResetRDB() (src/db.c:832-837, i.e. FLUSHALL with save points configured) and finishShutdown() (src/server.c:5104 then 5156); DEBUG RELOAD (src/debug.c:606) doesn't check for a forkless save at all. Each of them reaches fopen(tmpfile, "w") (src/rdb.c:1573), truncating the file the forkless writer still holds open, then fsyncs and renames the result over dump.rdb. Symmetrically, the deferred rdbRemoveTempFile(getpid(), 0) can unlink the temp file of whichever rdbSave() happens to be in progress when the bio job runs, making that save fail at rename().
Give the forkless save a temp name that cannot collide (e.g. temp-forkless-%d.rdb) and have line 185 unlink the tracked saveInfo->temp_file instead of reconstructing temp-<pid>.rdb.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Reviewed the merge with a focus on the forkless save lifecycle (forkless.c), its integration with the existing bgsave state machine (rdb.c, server.c, replication.c), and the new tests. The bgiteration hooks and the two-phase-pop / rehash-pause invariants around bgIteration_keyDelete look correctly protected, and the tree builds clean with no new warnings. Three points below, all in the save-state bookkeeping and one test.

A user-requested cancel is recorded as a failed save. terminated forces err_code = C_ERR here, and rdbRecordEndMetrics() then assigns it to server.lastbgsave_status (src/rdb.c:4418). The fork path deliberately does the opposite: killRDBChild() signals SIGUSR1 and backgroundSaveDoneHandlerDisk() skips rdbRecordEndMetrics for that signal (src/rdb.c:3906) so that an intentional kill is not an error condition.
Consequence with stock defaults (stop-writes-on-bgsave-error yes) plus any save point: after BGSAVE FORKLESS + BGSAVE CANCEL, writeCommandsDeniedByDiskError() (src/server.c:5220) returns DISK_ERROR_TYPE_RDB and every subsequent write is rejected with -MISCONF, permanently until the next successful save. flushAllDataAndResetRDB() is worse: it calls forklessSaveCancel() and then runs the synchronous rdbSave() which sets the status back to C_OK, but the forkless cleanup lands later from snapshotEndMonitorTimeProc and overwrites it with C_ERR. Same for VM_RdbLoad().
This isn't covered by the new tests because every forkless test block runs with save "", which makes saveparamslen == 0.
Distinguish an explicit cancel from a genuine failure — e.g. record the cancel reason on forklessSaveInfo when forklessSaveCancel() is what terminated the iterator, and skip the C_ERR status update in that case, the way SIGUSR1 is skipped for the fork child.

cur_bgsave_type is never set on the diskless replication path, so while a socket-target RDB child is running INFO reports rdb_bgsave_in_progress:1 together with the new rdb_current_bgsave_type:none. rdbRecordStartMetrics() is what sets cur_bgsave_type, and this function doesn't use it (it can't — it needs RDB_WRITE_TARGET_SOCKET, not DISK).

This upper bound will flake. after 2000 guarantees at least 2s of wall clock but nothing caps it — under Valgrind, or on a loaded CI box with 100 keys at rdb-key-save-delay 100000, the Tcl client can easily be descheduled long enough for rdb_current_bgsave_time_sec to advance by more than 3.
Drop the upper bound and poll for the lower one instead:
| assert {$time2 <= $time1 + 3} | |
| wait_for_condition 50 100 { | |
| [s rdb_current_bgsave_time_sec] >= $time1 + 2 | |
| } else { | |
| fail "rdb_current_bgsave_time_sec did not advance during forkless save" | |
| } |
(and remove the after 2000 / set time2 lines above, which the poll replaces).

Enforce the save-type oneof at runtime.
FORK and FORKLESS are declared as mutually exclusive. However, src/rdb.c accepts both tokens and uses the last one. For example, BGSAVE FORKLESS FORK can execute as FORK. Reject conflicting save types so runtime behavior matches this command definition. Add tests for both token orders.

@nitaicaro, thanks. I verified #4480.
It rejects a second FORK or FORKLESS token in src/rdb.c. It also tests both conflicting token orders in tests/integration/rdb.tcl.
The fix is in the separate, open PR #4480. I will keep this thread open until that change is available in this PR.

If the error doesn't start with a dash, addReplyError prepends
-ERRso this results in-ERR INUSE key is being processed.. Add the missing dash here. If I'm reading addReplyError correctly. -
We're not 100% consistent, but I think the word after the error code should be capitalized, i.e. "key" -> "Key".

Also not 100% consistent but I believe most of these short error messages don't end with a period. Multi-sentense error messages do end in period though.

Mostly looked at the user-facing touch points like the configs.
Will the forkless diskless full sync use repl-snapshot-method fork|forkless or what's the plan for that? We may want to take that feature into account too when deciding about the forkless-save config naming.
Btw, is there any chance will make it to 9.2 too?

In io_threads.c there is a function int inMainThread(void). Let's unify these?
We should avoid "valkey" in the function names. It was a PITA rebranding from redis and when we did, we changed most occurrences to "server" (whenever it made sense) or just ommitted that part.

With the C version we're using, there's no need to name the union. We could use an anonymous union, i.e. omit the u and access the fields by their names as if they were on the top-level in the struct. But maybe the u adds some visibility that it's a union and in that case we can keep it.

This is the metadata added to each key. These bytes are precious so I just want to understand what happens if we reduce this to uint16_t or uint8_t. Is this the maximum number of forkless bg-iterations we can do? Can we handle it wrapping around to zero? If we can, then maybe we can use fewer bits...

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Regarding the name of this config, we haven't used "supported" in any config names so far. The word "supported" is usually about which versions of valkey supports certain features. Supporting means that we're maintain the functionality.
What this config controls is whether the datastructures are orchestrated for forkless iteration.
Maybe we can use a word like "prepared" or "allowed", or just "enabled". The only other immutable configs that affect how things are stored is cluster-enabled. "Enabled" is also used in some other feature gates like enable-protected-configs, enable-debug-command, enable-module-command.
Or we could be specific and name it after what it does, like forkless-infra-enabled or forkless-snapshot-infra-enabled?

Maybe use bgsave as a prefix? We have another config with this prefix: bgsave-cpulist.

Btw, regarding

# with 'BGSAVE FORKLESS' or 'BGSAVE FORK'.
Not always – you can use forkless only if the forkless infrastructure is enabled.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Again, regarding "you can always override the method explicitly" – I think it's very dangerous to allow fork if the operator has installed valkey to use with forkless snapshotting. For example, in our deployments where valkey cluster is a micro service within a larger product in kubernetes, we provision pods with twice as much memory as what we'd every store in valkey, to make sure we don't hit the OOM killer when fork (childprocess) is running. If we switch to forkless, we don't need to provision as much extra memory, which is a huge saving, but this would make forking very dangerous.
In my thinking, if the node is provisioned for forkless, you'd want to use forkless always, never fork. With this reasoning, we shouldn't add the FORKLESS | FORK argument to BGSAVE and we should use a single config for forkless full sync and bgsave. Maybe only a single forkless-enabled – a single config for orchestrating it (the 4 bytes per key) and enabling it.
There are probably other aspects of this too, so we should discuss it in a core team meeting.
