Classes
class	Flush_observer
	We use Flush_observer to track flushing of non-redo logged pages in bulk create index(btr0load.cc).Since we disable redo logging during a index build, we need to make sure that all dirty pages modified by the index build are flushed to disk before any redo logged operations go to the index.

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_flush_await_no_flushing()

void buf_flush_await_no_flushing	(	buf_pool_t *	buf_pool,
		buf_flush_t	flush_type
	)

Waits until there's no flush of the given type from given BP instance.

Note that in case of BUF_FLUSH_LIST and BUF_FLUSH_LRU we also make sure there's no ongoing batch initialization (which could lead to flushes). The BUF_FLUSH_SINGLE_PAGE does not have batch initialization. Note, that we return as soon as there is no flush, but in general a new one could start right after we've returned (it's up to the caller to prevent this). If buf_pool is nullptr, then it will await a moment with no flushes for each BP instance in turn, which in general doesn't imply there was a single moment when all instances were quiescent - it's up to the caller to ensure that.

Parameters

[in]	buf_pool	The specific buffer pool instance to check. Can be null, if we want to wait for each buf_pool in turn.
[in]	flush_type	Flush type.

◆ 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_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_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
[in,out]	page_zip_	compressed page, or NULL if uncompressed
[in]	newest_lsn	newest modification LSN to the page
[in]	skip_checksum	whether to disable the page checksum
[in]	skip_lsn_check	true to skip check for LSN (in DEBUG)

◆ buf_flush_lists()

bool buf_flush_lists	(	ulint	min_n,
		lsn_t	lsn_limit,
		ulint *	n_processed
	)

This utility flushes dirty blocks from the end of the flush list of all buffer pool instances.

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

Parameters

[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.

Returns: true if a batch was queued successfully for each buffer pool instance. false if another batch of same type was already running in at least one of the buffer pool instance

◆ buf_flush_note_modification()

static void buf_flush_note_modification	(	buf_block_t *	block,
		lsn_t	start_lsn,
		lsn_t	end_lsn,
		Flush_observer *	observer
	)

inlinestatic

This function should be called at a mini-transaction commit, if a page was modified in it.

Puts the block to the list of modified blocks, if it not already in it.

Parameters

[in]	block	block which is modified
[in]	start_lsn	start lsn of the first mtr in a set of mtr's
[in]	end_lsn	end lsn of the last mtr in the set of mtr's
[in]	observer	flush observer

◆ 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_cleaner_disabled_debug_update()

void buf_flush_page_cleaner_disabled_debug_update	(	THD *	thd,
		SYS_VAR *	var,
		void *	var_ptr,
		const void *	save
	)

Disables page cleaner threads (coordinator and workers).

It's used by: SET GLOBAL innodb_page_cleaner_disabled_debug = 1 (0).

Parameters

[in]	thd	thread handle
[in]	var	pointer to system variable
[out]	var_ptr	where the formal string goes
[in]	save	immediate result from check function

◆ buf_flush_page_cleaner_init()

void buf_flush_page_cleaner_init ( )

Initialize page_cleaner.

◆ buf_flush_page_cleaner_is_active()

bool buf_flush_page_cleaner_is_active ( )

Checks if the page_cleaner is in active state.

◆ buf_flush_page_try()

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,
		buf_flush_t	flush_type
	)

Check if the block is modified and ready for flushing.

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_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_recv_note_modification()

static void buf_flush_recv_note_modification	(	buf_block_t *	block,
		lsn_t	start_lsn,
		lsn_t	end_lsn
	)

inlinestatic

This function should be called when recovery has modified a buffer page.

Parameters

[in]	block	block which is modified
[in]	start_lsn	start lsn of the first mtr in a set of mtr's
[in]	end_lsn	end lsn of the last mtr in the set of mtr's

◆ 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 has already been copied to dpage. in/out: destination block

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_sync_all_buf_pools()

void buf_flush_sync_all_buf_pools ( )

Synchronously flush dirty blocks from the end of the flush list of all buffer pool instances.

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

◆ buf_flush_validate()

bool buf_flush_validate ( buf_pool_t * buf_pool )

Validates the flush list.

Returns: true if ok

◆ buf_flush_write_complete()

void buf_flush_write_complete ( buf_page_t * bpage )

Updates the flush system data structures when a write is completed.

Parameters

[in] bpage pointer to the block in question

◆ buf_pool_get_dirty_pages_count()

ulint buf_pool_get_dirty_pages_count	(	buf_pool_t *	buf_pool,
		space_id_t	id,
		Flush_observer *	observer
	)

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

Returns: number of dirty pages present in a single buffer pool in: flush observer to check; number of dirty pages present in a single buffer pool

Parameters
