Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The change sends invalidations when a tracked data connection disconnects, but mixed-version redirect clients may receive incorrectly encoded NULL invalidations and handle cache state incorrectly.

Run clang-format-18 on this conditional.
The opening brace on Line 111 does not match adjacent conditionals in this file. As per coding guidelines, format modified C/C++ sources and headers with clang-format-18 before finalizing.

Encode the NULL value for the redirect client.
sendTrackingMessage changes c to the redirect client before it writes the response. These lines select shared.null from the tracking source protocol instead. If a RESP3 source redirects to a RESP2 Pub/Sub client, this writes a RESP3 NULL token into a RESP2 Pub/Sub message and corrupts the response stream.
Select the NULL encoding after the redirect client is resolved, or pass a protocol-independent NULL marker to sendTrackingMessage. Add coverage for source and redirect clients that use different RESP versions.

Man, this is a real problem in the two-connection pattern. But the implementation looks complex. We are adding references between tracking sources and invalidation connections. If one of them is freed, do we have safe pointer cleanup to prevent dangling pointers? Let's make sure there is no double-free scenario.

@VinayakGhai Thanks for the review! Let me address both concerns. No double-free: Note that That is also why The guard in No dangling pointers: the source stores only the target's client ID ( |

Problem
When using the two-connection pattern for client-side caching with
CLIENT TRACKING on REDIRECT <client-id>, if the data connection drops (e.g., timeout, network failure,CLIENT KILL), the invalidation connection stays alive and receives no notification. The application continues serving potentially stale cached data.The data connection is only used when there is a cache miss. If all subsequent requests hit the local cache, the application may never make another request on the data connection and thus never discover that it has been disconnected — silently serving stale data indefinitely.
Solution
Add a
voluntaryparameter todisableTracking():voluntary = 1— called fromCLIENT TRACKING OFF, no notificationvoluntary = 0— called fromunlinkClient(),clearClientConnectionState(), andfreeClientPubSubData(), sends an invalidation to the redirect targetWhen tracking is disabled involuntarily and the client has a valid redirect target, a NULL invalidation is sent via
sendTrackingMessage(). NULL means "all keys invalidated", following the same pattern astrackingInvalidateKeysOnFlush().
