From 885149bb34facc0482b7cceadc7271af15889f65 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Warrick <1016weicheng@gmail.com> Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2026 15:36:56 +0800 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] [test] fix flaky client-evict.tcl tests on slow CI machines - 'evict clients only until below limit': remove assert_range check that required all clients to use memory within 1% of each other. Different allocators (especially libc) can return significantly different allocation sizes for the same malloc argument, causing a ~1.9x ratio on some CI machines. The test logic already tracks max_client_mem correctly so the assertion is not needed. - 'evict clients in right order (large to small)': increase the per-iteration threshold buffer from 1000 bytes to 64kb, and add wait_for_condition to ensure evictions complete before verifying client counts. The 1000-byte buffer was too small to absorb natural memory growth between initial measurement and eviction time, causing one extra (smaller) client to be incorrectly evicted on slow machines.

The old formula assumed all clients used the same memory, which is violated on CI machines where the allocator returns different sizes for the same request. - Replace the exact count check (== client_count/2) with a broader assertion: total memory dropped within the limit, some clients were evicted, and not all clients were evicted. 'evict clients in right order (large to small)': - Replace the aggregate clients_sum wait with a targeted wait_for_condition that polls the specific client-index count == 0. The aggregate sum can transiently pass while a target client is still being disconnected, causing the subsequent assert to see count == 1 instead of 0.
