Function Documentation

◆ buf_are_flush_lists_empty_validate()

bool buf_are_flush_lists_empty_validate ( )

Checks if all flush lists are empty.

It is supposed to be used in single thread, during startup or shutdown. Hence it does not acquire lock and it is caller's responsibility to guarantee that flush lists are not changed in background.

Returns: true if all flush lists were empty.

◆ buf_do_flush_list_batch()

static ulint buf_do_flush_list_batch	(	buf_pool_t *	buf_pool,
		ulint	min_n,
		lsn_t	lsn_limit
	)

static

This utility flushes dirty blocks from the end of the flush_list.

The calling thread is not allowed to own any latches on pages!

Parameters

[in]	buf_pool	buffer pool instance
[in]	min_n	wished minimum number of blocks flushed (it is not guaranteed that the actual number is that big, though)
[in]	lsn_limit	all blocks whose oldest_modification is smaller than this should be flushed (if their number does not exceed min_n)

Returns: number of blocks for which the write request was queued; ULINT_UNDEFINED if there was a flush of the same type already running

◆ buf_do_LRU_batch()

static ulint buf_do_LRU_batch	(	buf_pool_t *	buf_pool,
		ulint	max
	)

static

Flush and move pages from LRU or unzip_LRU list to the free list.

Whether LRU or unzip_LRU is used depends on the state of the system.

Parameters

[in]	buf_pool	buffer pool instance
[in]	max	desired number of blocks in the free_list

Returns: number of blocks for which either the write request was queued or in case of unzip_LRU the number of blocks actually moved to the free list

◆ buf_flush_batch()

static ulint buf_flush_batch	(	buf_pool_t *	buf_pool,
		buf_flush_t	flush_type,
		ulint	min_n,
		lsn_t	lsn_limit
	)

static

This utility flushes dirty blocks from the end of the LRU list or flush_list.

NOTE 1: in the case of an LRU flush the calling thread may own latches to pages: to avoid deadlocks, this function must be written so that it cannot end up waiting for these latches! NOTE 2: in the case of a flush list flush, the calling thread is not allowed to own any latches on pages!

Parameters

[in]	buf_pool	buffer pool instance
[in]	flush_type	BUF_FLUSH_LRU or BUF_FLUSH_LIST; if BUF_FLUSH_LIST, then the caller must not own any latches on pages
[in]	min_n	wished minimum number of blocks flushed (it is not guaranteed that the actual number is that big, though)
[in]	lsn_limit	in the case of BUF_FLUSH_LIST all blocks whose oldest_modification is smaller than this should be flushed (if their number does not exceed min_n), otherwise ignored

Returns: number of blocks for which the write request was queued

◆ buf_flush_block_cmp()

static int buf_flush_block_cmp	(	const void *	p1,
		const void *	p2
	)

static

Compare two modified blocks in the buffer pool.

The key for comparison is: key = <oldest_modification, space, offset> This comparison is used to maintian ordering of blocks in the buf_pool->flush_rbt. Note that for the purpose of flush_rbt, we only need to order blocks on the oldest_modification. The other two fields are used to uniquely identify the blocks.

Returns: < 0 if b2 < b1, 0 if b2 == b1, > 0 if b2 > b1

Parameters

p1	in: block1
p2	in: block2

◆ buf_flush_borrow_lsn()

static lsn_t buf_flush_borrow_lsn ( const buf_pool_t * buf_pool )

inlinestatic

Borrows LSN from the recent added dirty page to the flush list.

This should be the lsn which we may use to mark pages dirtied without underlying redo records, when we add them to the flush list.

The lsn should be chosen in a way which will guarantee that we will not destroy checkpoint calculations if we inserted a new dirty page with such lsn to the flush list. This is strictly related to the limitations we put on the relaxed order in flush lists, which have direct impact on computation of lsn available for next checkpoint.

Therefore when the flush list is empty, the lsn is chosen as the maximum lsn up to which we know, that all dirty pages with smaller oldest_modification were added to the flush list.

This guarantees that the limitations put on the relaxed order are hold and lsn available for next checkpoint is not miscalculated.

Parameters

[in] buf_pool buffer pool instance

Returns: the borrowed newest_modification of the page or lsn up to which all dirty pages were added to the flush list if the flush list is empty

◆ buf_flush_check_neighbor()

static bool buf_flush_check_neighbor	(	const page_id_t &	page_id,
		buf_flush_t	flush_type
	)

static

Check if the page is in buffer pool and can be flushed.

Parameters

[in]	page_id	page id
[in]	flush_type	BUF_FLUSH_LRU or BUF_FLUSH_LIST

Returns: true if the page can be flushed.

◆ buf_flush_delete_from_flush_rbt()

static void buf_flush_delete_from_flush_rbt ( buf_page_t * bpage )

static

Delete a bpage from the flush_rbt.

Parameters

bpage in: bpage to be removed.

◆ buf_flush_do_batch()

bool buf_flush_do_batch	(	buf_pool_t *	buf_pool,
		buf_flush_t	type,
		ulint	min_n,
		lsn_t	lsn_limit,
		ulint *	n_processed
	)

Do flushing batch of a given type.

NOTE: The calling thread is not allowed to own any latches on pages!

Parameters

[in,out]	buf_pool	buffer pool instance
[in]	type	flush type
[in]	min_n	wished minimum number of blocks flushed (it is not guaranteed that the actual number is that big, though)
[in]	lsn_limit	in the case BUF_FLUSH_LIST all blocks whose oldest_modification is smaller than this should be flushed (if their number does not exceed min_n), otherwise ignored
[out]	n_processed	the number of pages which were processed is passed back to caller. Ignored if NULL

Return values

true	if a batch was queued successfully.
false	if another batch of same type was already running.

◆ buf_flush_end()

static void buf_flush_end	(	buf_pool_t *	buf_pool,
		buf_flush_t	flush_type
	)

static

End a buffer flush batch for LRU or flush list.

Parameters

[in]	buf_pool	buffer pool instance
[in]	flush_type	BUF_FLUSH_LRU or BUF_FLUSH_LIST

◆ buf_flush_free_flush_rbt()

void buf_flush_free_flush_rbt ( void )

Frees up the red-black tree.

◆ buf_flush_fsync()

void buf_flush_fsync ( )

Executes fsync for all tablespaces, to fsync all pages written to disk.

◆ buf_flush_get_dirty_pages_count()

static ulint buf_flush_get_dirty_pages_count	(	space_id_t	id,
		Flush_observer *	observer
	)

static

Check if there are any dirty pages that belong to a space id in the flush list.

Returns: number of dirty pages present in all the buffer pools

Parameters

id	in: space id to check
observer	in: flush observer to check

◆ buf_flush_init_flush_rbt()

void buf_flush_init_flush_rbt ( void )

Initialize the red-black tree to speed up insertions into the flush_list during recovery process.

Should be called at the start of recovery process before any page has been read/written.

◆ buf_flush_init_for_writing()

void buf_flush_init_for_writing	(	const buf_block_t *	block,
		byte *	page,
		void *	page_zip_,
		lsn_t	newest_lsn,
		bool	skip_checksum,
		bool	skip_lsn_check
	)

Initialize a page for writing to the tablespace.

Parameters

[in]	block	buffer block; NULL if bypassing the buffer pool
[in,out]	page	page frame

The ordering is maintained on the basis of the <oldest_modification, space, offset> key.

Returns: pointer to the predecessor or NULL if no predecessor.

Parameters

bpage in: bpage to be inserted.

◆ buf_flush_insert_into_flush_list()

void buf_flush_insert_into_flush_list	(	buf_pool_t *	buf_pool,

	)

Inserts a modified block into the flush list.

in: oldest modification

void buf_flush_insert_sorted_into_flush_list	(	buf_pool_t *	buf_pool,
		buf_block_t *	block,
		lsn_t	lsn
	)

Inserts a modified block into the flush list in the right sorted position.

This function is used by recovery, because there the modifications do not necessarily come in the order of lsn's.

Parameters

buf_pool	in: buffer pool instance
block	in/out: block which is modified
lsn	in: oldest modification

◆ buf_flush_list_order_validate()

static bool buf_flush_list_order_validate	(	lsn_t	earlier_added_lsn,
		lsn_t	new_added_lsn

inlinestatic

Checks that order of two consecutive pages in flush list would be valid, according to their oldest_modification values.

Remarks: We have a relaxed order in flush list, but still we have guarantee, that the earliest added page has oldest_modification not greater than minimum oldest_midification of all dirty pages by more than number of slots in the log recent closed buffer.

This is used by assertions only.

Parameters

[in]	earlier_added_lsn	oldest_modification of page which was added to flush list earlier
[in]	new_added_lsn	oldest_modification of page which is being added to flush list

Return values

true	if the order is valid

[in]	max	desired number for blocks in the free_list

Returns: number of blocks for which the write request was queued.

◆ buf_flush_page()

bool buf_flush_page	(	buf_pool_t *	buf_pool,
		buf_page_t *	bpage,
		buf_flush_t	flush_type,
		bool	sync
	)

Writes a flushable page asynchronously from the buffer pool to a file.

NOTE: 1. in simulated aio we must call os_aio_simulated_wake_handler_threads after we have posted a batch of writes! 2. buf_page_get_mutex(bpage) must be held upon entering this function. The LRU list mutex must be held if flush_type == BUF_FLUSH_SINGLE_PAGE. Both mutexes will be released by this function if it returns true.

Parameters

[in]	buf_pool	buffer pool instance
[in]	bpage	buffer control block
[in]	flush_type	type of flush
[in]	sync	true if sync IO request

Returns: true if page was flushed

◆ buf_flush_page_and_try_neighbors()

static bool buf_flush_page_and_try_neighbors	(	buf_page_t *	bpage,
		buf_flush_t	flush_type,
		ulint	n_to_flush,
		ulint *	count
	)

static

Check if the block is modified and ready for flushing.

If ready to flush then flush the page and try o flush its neighbors. The caller must hold the buffer pool list mutex corresponding to the type of flush.

Parameters

[in]	bpage	buffer control block, must be buf_page_in_file(bpage)
[in]	flush_type	BUF_FLUSH_LRU or BUF_FLUSH_LIST
[in]	n_to_flush	number of pages to flush
[in,out]	count	number of pages flushed

Returns: true if the list mutex was released during this function. This does not guarantee that some pages were written as well.

static

Close page_cleaner.

◆ buf_flush_page_cleaner_disabled_debug_update()

bool buf_flush_page_try	(	buf_pool_t *	buf_pool,
		buf_block_t *	block
	)

Writes a flushable page asynchronously from the buffer pool to a file.

NOTE: block and LRU list mutexes must be held upon entering this function, and they will be released by this function after flushing. This is loosely based on buf_flush_batch() and buf_flush_page().

Parameters

[in,out]	buf_pool	buffer pool instance
[in,out]	block	buffer control block

Returns: true if the page was flushed and the mutex released

◆ buf_flush_ready_for_flush()

bool buf_flush_ready_for_flush	(	buf_page_t *	bpage,

Requires buf_page_get_mutex(bpage).

Parameters

[in]	bpage	buffer control block, must be buf_page_in_file()
[in]	flush_type	type of flush

Returns: true if can flush immediately

◆ buf_flush_ready_for_flush_gen()

static bool buf_flush_ready_for_flush_gen	(	buf_page_t *	bpage,
		buf_flush_t	flush_type,
		bool	atomic
	)

static

Check if the block was modified and was ready for flushing.

This is a common part of the logic of buf_flush_was_ready_for_flush() and buf_flush_ready_for_flush() which differ by the tolerance for stale result.

Parameters

[in]	bpage	buffer control block, must be buf_page_in_file()
[in]	flush_type	type of flush
[in]	atomic	false if the caller can tolerate stale data, true if the caller needs accurate answer, which requires the caller to hold buf_page_get_mutex.

Returns: true if page seems ready for flush

◆ buf_flush_ready_for_replace()

bool buf_flush_ready_for_replace ( buf_page_t * bpage )

Returns true if the file page block is immediately suitable for replacement, i.e., the transition FILE_PAGE => NOT_USED allowed.

The caller must hold the LRU list and block mutexes.

Parameters

[in] bpage buffer control block, must be buf_page_in_file() and in the LRU list

Returns: true if can replace immediately

◆ buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list()

void buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list	(	buf_page_t *	bpage,
		buf_page_t *	dpage
	)

Relocates a buffer control block on the flush_list.

Note that it is assumed that the contents of bpage have already been copied to dpage. IMPORTANT: When this function is called bpage and dpage are not exact copies of each other. For example, they both will have different "::state". Also the "::list" pointers in dpage may be stale. We need to use the current list node (bpage) to do the list manipulation because the list pointers could have changed between the time that we copied the contents of bpage to the dpage and the flush list manipulation below.

Parameters

bpage	in/out: control block being moved
dpage	in/out: destination block

◆ buf_flush_remove()

void buf_flush_remove ( buf_page_t * bpage )

Remove a block from the flush list of modified blocks.

Parameters

[in] bpage pointer to the block in question

◆ buf_flush_single_page_from_LRU()

bool buf_flush_single_page_from_LRU ( buf_pool_t * buf_pool )

This function picks up a single page from the tail of the LRU list, flushes it (if it is dirty), removes it from page_hash and LRU list and puts it on the free list.

It is called from user threads when they are unable to find a replaceable page at the tail of the LRU list i.e.: when the background LRU flushing in the page_cleaner thread is not fast enough to keep pace with the workload.

Parameters

[in,out] buf_pool buffer pool instance

Returns: true if success.

◆ buf_flush_event

os_event_t buf_flush_event

Event to synchronise with the flushing.

◆ buf_flush_lsn_scan_factor

uint buf_flush_lsn_scan_factor = 3

static

Factor for scan length to determine n_pages for intended oldest LSN progress.

◆ buf_flush_sync_lsn

lsn_t buf_flush_sync_lsn = 0

static

Target oldest LSN for the requested flush_sync.

◆ buf_flush_tick_event

os_event_t buf_flush_tick_event

static

Number of pages flushed through non flush_list flushes.

◆ BUF_LRU_MIN_LEN

constexpr uint32_t BUF_LRU_MIN_LEN = 256

constexpr

If LRU list of a buf_pool is less than this size then LRU eviction should not happen.

This is because when we do LRU flushing we also put the blocks on free list. If LRU list is very small then we can end up in thrashing.
