feat(python): make rdma get/set available in glide-sync - #7464
This is a continuation of the work to add client support for a new Valkey module for remote direct memory access (RDMA). This PR makes the glide-rdma features available in the Python glide-sync client, which will be used in KV caching adapters (e.g. LMCache and vLLM).
Introduces RdmaConfiguration, register_rdma_region, rdma_set, rdma_get, region.close, and other functions for memory management.
Implementation
The new configuration options are in python/glide-shared/glide_shared/config.py.
The bulk of the implementation is in python/glide-sync/glide_sync/glide_client.py.
Updated .github/workflows/pypi-cd.yml to build the python release with the RDMA feature turned on.
Limitations
RDMA not supported in pooled clients or async clients.
Testing
New tests in the python/tests directory and I've tested the full client integration against the module on real efa hardware.
Checklist
Before submitting the PR make sure the following are checked:
This Pull Request is related to one issue.
Commit message has a detailed description of what changed and why.
Tests are added or updated.
CHANGELOG.md and documentation files are updated.
Linters have been run (make *-lint targets) and Prettier has been run (make prettier-fix).
Destination branch is correct - main or release
Create merge commit if merging release branch into main, squash otherwise.
Make sure to update the documentation in the valkey-glide-docs repository if necessary
Ready for human review.
No open findings. The only new commit adds test assertions that _deferred_callback_refs is held during a deferred close and cleared after _end_rdma_call, and both match close() in glide_sync/glide_client.py. The three earlier findings are still fixed.
Risk: Medium. Changes close() for the sync client and builds RDMA into every published glide-sync and glide-async FFI library. A bug in the deferred-close path would crash RDMA users who also use pubsub or IAM.
Open findings: none.
Resolved (3)
python/glide-sync/glide_sync/glide_client.py:2146 On the deferred close path, _pubsub_callback_ref and _credential_provider_callback_ref were dropped while the native client was still alive and its push task could still call the freed CFFI trampoline.
The Python sync client now supports experimental RDMA configuration and registered-memory transfers. The change adds transfer lifecycle handling, FFI build options, wheel checks, tests, and usage guidance. The async client and ClientPool reject RDMA configurations.
Adds RDMA provider, checksum, configuration, and error types. Client configurations serialize RDMA settings into connection requests. FFI declarations cover region registration, transfers, checksums, and cleanup. The async client and ClientPool reject configured RDMA.
Sync client regions and transfers python/glide-sync/glide_sync/glide_client.py, python/glide-sync/glide_sync/__init__.py, python/tests/sync_tests/test_sync_rdma.py, python/tests/sync_tests/test_sync_client.py, python/tests/test_api_consistency.py
Adds registered memory regions, bounded windows, RDMA GET and SET, checksum calculation, and availability checks. Region and client lifecycle code tracks memory held by the fabric and handles transfer cancellation. Tests cover transfer behavior, errors, memory lifetime, and concurrency.
RDMA-enabled builds and wheel support python/dev.py, python/glide-sync/setup.py, .github/workflows/pypi-cd.yml
Build commands and sync wheel builds can enable the RDMA FFI feature. The wheel smoke test checks RDMA availability, including when both client wheels are installed.
RDMA usage and test guidance python/README.md, python/DEVELOPER.md, python/AGENTS.md, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, CHANGELOG.md, python/docs/conf.py
Documents RDMA configuration, transfer constraints, build and test setup, and experimental sync-client support.

Closing a client during an active RDMA operation can fail a required IAM refresh before native cleanup completes. This is a narrow shutdown-path risk with a localized fix.

Keep the credential owner alive until deferred native destruction completes.
When _rdma_calls is nonzero, BaseClient.close defers close_client but immediately closes and unregisters the credential owner. The native client can still refresh IAM credentials during this interval. The credential trampoline returns failure, and the native contract does not retry a failed callback.
Close the owner immediately only for synchronous destruction. Otherwise, close and clear it after _end_rdma_call completes deferred close_client.
