## Background
1. Currently Lua memory control does not pass through Redis's zmalloc.c.
Redis maxmemory cannot limit memory problems caused by users abusing lua
since these lua VM memory is not part of used_memory.
2. Since jemalloc is much better (fragmentation and speed), and also we
know it and trust it. we are
going to use jemalloc instead of libc to allocate the Lua VM code and
count it used memory.
## Process:
In this PR, we will use jemalloc in lua.
1. Create an arena for all lua vm (script and function), which is
shared, in order to avoid blocking defragger.
2. Create a bound tcache for the lua VM, since the lua VM and the main
thread are by default in the same tcache, and if there is no isolated
tcache, lua may request memory from the tcache which has just been freed
by main thread, and vice versa
On the other hand, since lua vm might be release in bio thread, but
tcache is not thread-safe, we need to recreate
the tcache every time we recreate the lua vm.
3. Remove lua memory statistics from memory fragmentation statistics to
avoid the effects of lua memory fragmentation
## Other
Add the following new fields to `INFO DEBUG` (we may promote them to
INFO MEMORY some day)
1. allocator_allocated_lua: total number of bytes allocated of lua arena
2. allocator_active_lua: total number of bytes in active pages allocated
in lua arena
3. allocator_resident_lua: maximum number of bytes in physically
resident data pages mapped in lua arena
4. allocator_frag_bytes_lua: fragment bytes in lua arena
This is oranagra's idea, and i got some help from sundb.
This solves the third point in #13102.

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
