Optimize resizing hash table to resize not only non-empty dicts. (#12819)
The function `tryResizeHashTables` only attempts to shrink the dicts
that has keys (change from #11695), this was a serious problem until the
change in #12850 since it meant if all keys are deleted, we won't shrink
the dick.
But still, both dictShrink and dictExpand may be blocked by a fork child
process, therefore, the cron job needs to perform both dictShrink and
dictExpand, for not just non-empty dicts, but all dicts in DBs.

What this PR does:

1. Try to resize all dicts in DBs (not just non-empty ones, as it was
since #12850)
2. handle both shrink and expand (not just shrink, as it was since
forever)
3. Refactor some APIs about dict resizing (get rid of `htNeedsShrink`
`htNeedsShrink` `dictShrinkToFit`, and expose `dictShrinkIfNeeded`
`dictExpandIfNeeded` which already contains all the code of those
functions we get rid of, to make APIs more neat)
4. In the `Don't rehash if redis has child process` test, now that cron
would do resizing, we no longer need to write to DB after the child
process got killed, and can wait for the cron to expand the hash table.

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_server context
  • tags context 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
