"PR: Fix tracking table items not being cleaned after client disconnect

This PR addresses the issue of tracking table items not being cleaned after a client disconnect by introducing a periodic sweeper to clean up dead client IDs.

Changes:

  • Modified arena struct to include fields max_rax_size and num_dead_clients to track the maximum size of the inner RAX and the number of dead client IDs, respectively.
  • Added tracking_table_defragment, tracking_table_sweep_dead_clients, and tracking_table_periodic_sweep functions to tracking.c.
  • Updated tracking_table_periodic_sweep function to periodically call the sweeper to clean up dead client IDs.

Testing:

  • Run the following command to test the PR: ./run_test.sh
  • Verify that dead client IDs are properly cleaned up after multiple client disconnect scenarios.

Please review and test this PR to ensure the fix is correct and effective."

Use struct arena_s * for the tracking-table arena pointer.

struct arena * is a different incomplete type from jemalloc’s struct arena_s/arena_t, so this won’t match real arena pointers. Forward-declare struct arena_s here and store struct arena_s *arena; instead of including the internal arena definition.

This diff does not fix #4163's referenced issue, or change server behavior at all. It adds a single file literally named c at the repository root; nothing in the tree includes it, src/Makefile/CMakeLists.txt never compile it, and the three declared functions have no definitions or callers anywhere (grep finds them only in this file). The PR description also doesn't match the diff: it claims modifications to tracking.c, new max_rax_size/num_dead_clients fields, and a ./run_test.sh test script — none are in the diff, and run_test.sh does not exist in the repository (git diff --stat shows only c | 14 +). A real fix for #4143 needs to operate on the actual tracking table — rax *TrackingTable in src/tracking.c (src/tracking.c:44), where the lazy client-ID cleanup logic lives — and come with a Tcl test under tests/.

This header is dead code: no file includes it, src/Makefile and src/CMakeLists.txt never reference it, and tracking_table_defragment/tracking_table_sweep_dead_clients/tracking_table_periodic_sweep are declared here but defined and called nowhere in the tree. struct tracking_table is likewise unused — the server's tracking table is rax *TrackingTable in src/tracking.c:44, which this PR never touches. The file is also misnamed: it landed as a file literally called c at the repository root instead of a header under src/. As-is the change is a no-op with respect to the reported bug; the sweeper needs an implementation in src/tracking.c wired into the disconnect/cron path.

This pulls in a jemalloc internal header. jemalloc's struct arena_s is a memory-allocator arena and has no relation to the client tracking table. It is also not includable from server code: the path is relative to the repo root (server sources build from src/ without a repo-root include path), the header chains into a dozen other jemalloc/internal/* headers that require jemalloc's configure-generated definitions (jemalloc_internal_defs.h does not exist until the dep is built), and Valkey supports MALLOC=libc builds where jemalloc isn't configured at all. Any state the tracking cleanup needs belongs in src/tracking.c's own structures, not in deps/.
