Implementing the proposal issue #3918

In this PR we are just focusing on tagging the admin connections as prioritized if it matches the CIDR ranges and related configs, the whole logic of processing the prioritized events and observability is still depends on #4076.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds subnet-based QoS prioritization. The change validates and applies priority subnet configuration, reserves client capacity, tracks prioritized connections, exposes metrics, adds tests and documentation, and includes related server sources in CMake and Make builds.

Changes

QoS connection prioritization

Layer / File(s) Summary
QoS subnet model and matching
src/qos.h, src/qos.c, src/unit/test_qos.cpp
Defines QoS structures and APIs. Implements IPv4/IPv6 subnet parsing, matching, configuration updates, cleanup, and unit tests.
QoS configuration and connection state
src/config.c, src/connection.h
Registers priority-subnets and maxclients-reserved. Adds connection priority state and runtime client reclassification.
Prioritized admission and observability
src/networking.c, src/server.c, tests/unit/qos.tcl, valkey.conf
Applies separate client limits, tracks prioritized connections, reports QoS metrics, documents the settings, and tests runtime behavior.

Build source integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Server source and object inputs
cmake/Modules/SourceFiles.cmake, src/Makefile
Adds forkless, background iteration, QoS, hotkeys, space-saving, throttling, and statistics sources to the server build lists.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 2aa3d

QoS configured at server startup can remain inactive, so reserved administrative capacity may not be available when needed. The parser also contains a portability hazard that should be corrected before merge.

Loosened pattern may be overly permissive.

The pattern was changed from */tests/tmp/valkey.conf.* to */tests/tmp/val*. While this is more flexible, it would match any file starting with "val" in the tmp directory. Consider a slightly more specific pattern like */tests/tmp/valkey* to ensure the config file is still a valkey configuration file while accommodating naming variations.

197-261: 💤 Low value

Consider verifying the specific client is prioritized, not just any client.

The test loops through CLIENT LIST and sets found_prioritized to 1 if any line contains qos=prioritized. This could pass even if a different client (e.g., the main r client after reconfiguration) is prioritized rather than the test client p1. Consider matching the specific client ID to ensure the newly connected client is the one marked as prioritized.

the output pointers subnets and count without validating them first, which will
cause a segfault if NULL pointers are passed. Add NULL pointer validation at the

I think there is a difference between this new feature and the existing Valkey configuration/methodology.

This feature envisions "priority clients" as something new and independent from "maxclients". However, in Valkey, it's implied that maxclients is intended to represent the entire limit of file descriptors. Given this, wouldn't it be more consistent to treat priority-maxclients as a subset of of maxclients?

Current documentation states:

# IMPORTANT: With a cluster-enabled setup, the max number of connections is also
# shared with the cluster bus: every node in the cluster will use two
# connections, one incoming and another outgoing. It is important to size the
# limit accordingly in case of very large clusters.

This clearly mixes/equates "client" with "connection". The text above this talks about the FILE LIMIT and once reached will close new CONNECTIONS. All very confusing.

Would it be simpler and more consistent to consider priority-maxclients as a subset of max clients? New hasMaxClientsLimitReached logic would be something like this:

bool hasMaxClientsLimitReached(bool priority) {
    if (priority) {
        if (total_connections >= maxclients) return true;
    } else {
        remaining_priority_connections = MAX(max_priority_connections - current_priority_connections, 0);
        if (total_connections >= maxclients - remaining_priority_connections) return true;
    }
    return false;
}

Add test coverage for the admission-control functions.

The file tests subnet parsing and matching, but does not test isIpQosPrioritized or canAcceptQosConnection. These two functions implement the actual QoS admission decision consumed by acceptCommonHandler. Add tests that set qos_subnets/qos_subnets_count (via updateQosSubnetSources) and exercise canAcceptQosConnection against different server.maxclients and server.qos_reserved_min_clients values, to cover the priority-vs-normal admission boundary.

Summary of user facing new configs and metrics for TSC review.

New Configurations

• priority-subnets: Comma or space-separated list of IPv4/IPv6 addresses and CIDR subnets recognized as prioritized client sources (default: "", disabled).
• maxclients-reserved: Number of connection slots within maxclients reserved exclusively for priority traffic (default: 0, disabled).

New Metrics

• connected_clients_prioritized (INFO clients): Current count of active connected clients originating from configured priority subnets.
• rejected_connections_prioritized (INFO stats): Cumulative count of prioritized client connections rejected at the maxclients ceiling.

Once TSC reviewed/approved will send the doc update PR.

I don't think Qos is an independent unit worth it's own file. The subnet parsing should go to anet.c or a utility file. The admission control should just live in networking.c and server.c. There are definitely ways to chunk this up better, but I don't think this is the way

This is very verbose for the valkeyconf, consider making it making a bit shorter. Not a blocker for rc1

@satheeshaGowda I don't think this is addressed yet. It's not a blocker for rc1, but we should update it.

Can we also put this with the rest of the clients, not on its own section at the bottom.

@madolson attempted to dismiss during the TSC, but only removed herself as a reviewer, without dismissing the requested changes marker.

# When the main eventloop processes large batches of normal client events (such as
# heavy pipelined commands or multi-key operations), batch execution can take
# several milliseconds. To prevent head-of-line blocking and ensure system-critical
# internal events are not starved, Valkey periodically interrupts normal events
# processing to check and drain pending high-priority events.

In general we try to avoid explaining the low level implementation details.

Yeah, it's too verbose in general. It should document only the configs, not the whole feature. That belongs in the real docs.

this should include priority subnets as well.

# The `maxclients-reserved` configuration defines the minimum number of connections

# priority-subnets.
#
# Note: When this configuration is applied or increased dynamically at runtime,
# the reservation guarantees capacity only for new priority-subnet connections; it
# does not evict or displace existing normal clients that are already holding those
# slots. Instead, incoming normal connections are rejected until existing normal
# clients disconnect and capacity drops below the normal client ceiling.

Remove three entries whose changes shipped before 9.2.0, so 9.1 users
don't see them advertised as new:
- #3533 (dismissHashtable madvise size) was backported to 9.1 and is in
  the 9.1.0, 9.1.1 and 9.1.2 tags. It was added here by mistake.
- #3551 (hashtable iterator invalidate on exhaustion) is likewise in
  9.1.0; it just never made the 9.1 notes.
- #3586 (valkey-cli --cluster fix slot spreading) is already documented
  in both the 9.0 and 9.1 release notes and shipped in 9.0.6 and 9.1.0.

Fix the #4076 config name: the registered config is
priority-preemptive-poll-interval-us, not preemptive-poll-interval-us,
so the name as written would be rejected by CONFIG SET.

Rewrite the #4005 entry, which described only the internal tagging. The
user-facing surface is two new configs, priority-subnets and
maxclients-reserved, which together cap normal clients at maxclients
minus the reserved count so administrative clients keep guaranteed
slots, plus a connected_priority_clients field in INFO clients.

Move the sorted set B+ tree note (#4359) back to Performance. Listing it
as a behavior change for its OBJECT ENCODING output while #3212 changes
hash encoding output from hashtable to listpack in the Performance
section was inconsistent; both now sit together.

Drop the Redis comparison from the #4629 entry, which no other entry in
the 9.0, 9.1 or 9.2 notes makes.
