Peter Dillinger 9f474a1034 Enforce < 4GB sizes for keys, values, and some BlockBuilder inputs (#14461)
Summary:
BlockBuilder was somewhat inconsistent in its treatment of Slices whose size exceeds 4GB, which in a random corruption case could lead to (for example) serializing only the bottom 32 bits of a value size (uncorrupted) but appending the full multi-GB (corrupted) size. Because this is inner loop code, we don't want to pay CPU for extra conversions, data movements, or Status plumbing (already ruled out by Xingbo).

In this change we make BlockBuilder more internally consistent and lift the 32-bit size requirement to callers (of a few functions specifically, for now). To ensure that's satisfied, I've added additional checks near the perimeter of RocksDB to ensure keys and values do not exceed 4GB, plus an extra random corruption or backstop check in BlockBasedTableBuilder. In detail,

BlockBuilder (block_builder.cc/h):
* Add API comments documenting the < 4GB assumption on Add/AddWithLastKey
* Add debug assertions verifying input slice sizes < 4GB
* Simplify AddWithLastKeyImpl to use uint32_t locals, reducing static_cast
* Use only bottom 32 bits when appending derivative slices for consistency
* Update MaybeStripTimestampFromKey to also truncate to 32-bit size
* Add FIXME comments where buffer_/values_buffer_ sizes are truncated

BlockBasedTableBuilder (block_based_table_builder.cc):
* Add value size check (> uint32_t max) as a safety net against random corruption, since we have seen such corruptions in production

WriteBatch (write_batch.cc):
* Tighten existing key size checks to account for kNumInternalBytes (8-byte internal key suffix), using new kMaxWriteBatchKeySize constant
* Add missing size checks to Delete, SingleDelete, and DeleteRange (both Slice and SliceParts variants)

SstFileWriter (sst_file_writer.cc):
* Add key and value size checks in AddImpl and DeleteRangeImpl, which bypass WriteBatch and go directly to the table builder

MergeHelper (merge_helper.cc):
* Add merge result size check (> uint32_t max) in both overloads of TimedFullMergeImpl, returning Corruption if exceeded
* Add PartialMergeMulti result size check in MergeUntil

CompactionIterator (compaction_iterator.cc):
* Add size check on compaction filter output values (kChangeValue and kChangeWideColumnEntity), returning Corruption if > 4GB

meta_blocks.cc:
* Use Slice with uint32_t-truncated sizes in PropertyBlockBuilder::Finish to handle potentially oversized user property collector output

Needed follow-up:
* Check for blocks that are mis-encoded due to overflowing 32 bits for restart point offsets (and similar). See FIXME comments in block_builder.cc for why this is tricky.

Test Plan:
New extreme-size unit tests, along with some testing infrastructure improvements:

Added test::HasBigMem() (in test_util/testharness.h) which returns true when the system has ≥128GB RAM (via sysconf(_SC_PHYS_PAGES) on Linux/macOS) or when ROCKSDB_BIGMEM_TESTS is set. All extreme-size tests use HasBigMem() to skip gracefully on smaller machines rather than being permanently disabled.

Where possible, tests use MemMapping::AllocateLazyZeroed() to supply large keys/values as Slices backed by anonymous mmap (cleaner with new MemMapping::AsSlice()). On Linux, read-only access to these pages maps to the shared kernel zero page, so the source data consumes no physical RAM — only the destination copy (e.g., WriteBatch::rep_) materializes, cutting peak memory roughly in half vs. std::string.

Tests (all enabled, skip via HasBigMem()):

./write_batch_test --gtest_filter='*LargeKeyValueSizeLimit*'
./external_sst_file_basic_test --gtest_filter='*LargeSizeSstFileWriter*'
./merge_test --gtest_filter='*LargeMergeResultRejected*'
./merge_helper_test --gtest_filter='*LargePartialMergeResultRejected*'
./db_compaction_test --gtest_filter='*CompactionFilterLargeValueRejected*'

All 5 pass (verified on a 128GB+ machine). On smaller machines, all 5 bypass cleanly with "insufficient memory for reliable continuous testing".

RocksDB: A Persistent Key-Value Store for Flash and RAM Storage

CircleCI Status

RocksDB is developed and maintained by Facebook Database Engineering Team. It is built on earlier work on LevelDB by Sanjay Ghemawat (sanjay@google.com) and Jeff Dean (jeff@google.com)

This code is a library that forms the core building block for a fast key-value server, especially suited for storing data on flash drives. It has a Log-Structured-Merge-Database (LSM) design with flexible tradeoffs between Write-Amplification-Factor (WAF), Read-Amplification-Factor (RAF) and Space-Amplification-Factor (SAF). It has multi-threaded compactions, making it especially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a single database.

Start with example usage here: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/tree/main/examples

See the github wiki for more explanation.

The public interface is in include/. Callers should not include or rely on the details of any other header files in this package. Those internal APIs may be changed without warning.
