/** The doublewrite buffer */
MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing.

The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block().

The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code.

The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only.

SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface.

Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing.

It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread.

We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages.

FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove.

It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove.

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread.

SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex.

MDEV-23855: Remove fil_system.LRU and reduce fil_system.mutex contention Also fixes MDEV-23929: innodb_flush_neighbors is not being ignored for system tablespace on SSD When the maximum configured number of file is exceeded, InnoDB will close data files. We used to maintain a fil_system.LRU list and a counter fil_node_t::n_pending to achieve this, at the huge cost of multiple fil_system.mutex operations per I/O operation. fil_node_open_file_low(): Implement a FIFO replacement policy: The last opened file will be moved to the end of fil_system.space_list, and files will be closed from the start of the list. However, we will not move tablespaces in fil_system.space_list while i_s_tablespaces_encryption_fill_table() is executing (producing output for INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_TABLESPACES_ENCRYPTION) because it may cause information of some tablespaces to go missing. We also avoid this in mariabackup --backup because datafiles_iter_next() assumes that the ordering is not changed. IORequest: Fold more parameters to IORequest::type. fil_space_t::io(): Replaces fil_io(). fil_space_t::flush(): Replaces fil_flush(). OS_AIO_IBUF: Remove. We will always issue synchronous reads of the change buffer pages in buf_read_page_low(). We will always ignore some errors for background reads. This should reduce fil_system.mutex contention a little. fil_node_t::complete_write(): Replaces fil_node_t::complete_io(). On both read and write completion, fil_space_t::release_for_io() will have to be called. fil_space_t::io(): Do not acquire fil_system.mutex in the normal code path. xb_delta_open_matching_space(): Do not try to open the system tablespace which was already opened.

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages.

MDEV-24142: Replace InnoDB rw_lock_t with sux_lock InnoDB buffer pool block and index tree latches depend on a special kind of read-update-write lock that allows reentrant (recursive) acquisition of the 'update' and 'write' locks as well as an upgrade from 'update' lock to 'write' lock. The 'update' lock allows any number of reader locks from other threads, but no concurrent 'update' or 'write' lock. If there were no requirement to support an upgrade from 'update' to 'write', we could compose the lock out of two srw_lock (implemented as any type of native rw-lock, such as SRWLOCK on Microsoft Windows). Removing this requirement is very difficult, so in commit f7e7f487d4b06695f91f6fbeb0396b9d87fc7bbf we implemented an 'update' mode to our srw_lock. Re-entrant or recursive locking is mostly needed when writing or freeing BLOB pages, but also in crash recovery or when merging buffered changes to an index page. The re-entrancy allows us to attach a previously acquired page to a sub-mini-transaction that will be committed before whatever else is holding the page latch. The SUX lock supports Shared ('read'), Update, and eXclusive ('write') locking modes. The S latches are not re-entrant, but a single S latch may be acquired even if the thread already holds an U latch. The idea of the U latch is to allow a write of something that concurrent readers do not care about (such as the contents of BTR_SEG_LEAF, BTR_SEG_TOP and other page allocation metadata structures, or the MDEV-6076 PAGE_ROOT_AUTO_INC). (The PAGE_ROOT_AUTO_INC field is only updated when a dict_table_t for the table exists, and only read when a dict_table_t for the table is being added to dict_sys.) block_lock::u_lock_try(bool for_io=true) is used in buf_flush_page() to allow concurrent readers but no concurrent modifications while the page is being written to the data file. That latch will be released by buf_page_write_complete() in a different thread. Hence, we use the special lock owner value FOR_IO. The index_lock::u_lock() improves concurrency on operations that involve non-leaf index pages. The interface has been cleaned up a little. We will use x_lock_recursive() instead of x_lock() when we know that a lock is already held by the current thread. Similarly, a lock upgrade from U to X is only allowed via u_x_upgrade() or x_lock_upgraded() but not via x_lock(). We will disable the LatchDebug and sync_array interfaces to InnoDB rw-locks. The SEMAPHORES section of SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS output will no longer include any information about InnoDB rw-locks, only TTASEventMutex (cmake -DMUTEXTYPE=event) waits. This will make a part of the 'innotop' script dead code. The block_lock buf_block_t::lock will not be covered by any PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA instrumentation. SHOW ENGINE INNODB MUTEX and INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_MUTEXES will no longer output source code file names or line numbers. The dict_index_t::lock will be identified by index and table names, which should be much more useful. PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA is lumping information about all dict_index_t::lock together as event_name='wait/synch/sxlock/innodb/index_tree_rw_lock'. buf_page_free(): Remove the file,line parameters. The sux_lock will not store such diagnostic information. buf_block_dbg_add_level(): Define as empty macro, to be removed in a subsequent commit. Unless the build was configured with cmake -DPLUGIN_PERFSCHEMA=NO the index_lock dict_index_t::lock will be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. Similar to commit 1669c8890ca2e9092213626e5b047e58ca8b1e77 we will distinguish lock waits by registering shared_lock,exclusive_lock events instead of try_shared_lock,try_exclusive_lock. Actual 'try' operations will not be instrumented at all. rw_lock_list: Remove. After MDEV-24167, this only covered buf_block_t::lock and dict_index_t::lock. We will output their information by traversing buf_pool or dict_sys.

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing.

The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread.

Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove.

SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface.

Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex.

During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks.

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages.

The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

MDEV-25105 Remove innodb_checksum_algorithm values none,innodb,... Historically, InnoDB supported a buggy page checksum algorithm that did not compute a checksum over the full page. Later, well before MySQL 4.1 introduced .ibd files and the innodb_file_per_table option, the algorithm was corrected and the first 4 bytes of each page were redefined to be a checksum. The original checksum was so slow that an option to disable page checksum was introduced for benchmarketing purposes. The Intel Nehalem microarchitecture introduced the SSE4.2 instruction set extension, which includes instructions for faster computation of CRC-32C. In MySQL 5.6 (and MariaDB 10.0), innodb_checksum_algorithm=crc32 was implemented to make of that. As that option was changed to be the default in MySQL 5.7, a bug was found on big-endian platforms and some work-around code was added to weaken that checksum further. MariaDB disables that work-around by default since MDEV-17958. Later, SIMD-accelerated CRC-32C has been implemented in MariaDB for POWER and ARM and also for IA-32/AMD64, making use of carry-less multiplication where available. Long story short, innodb_checksum_algorithm=crc32 is faster and more secure than the pre-MySQL 5.6 checksum, called innodb_checksum_algorithm=innodb. It should have removed any need to use innodb_checksum_algorithm=none. The setting innodb_checksum_algorithm=crc32 is the default in MySQL 5.7 and MariaDB Server 10.2, 10.3, 10.4. In MariaDB 10.5, MDEV-19534 made innodb_checksum_algorithm=full_crc32 the default. It is even faster and more secure. The default settings in MariaDB do allow old data files to be read, no matter if a worse checksum algorithm had been used. (Unfortunately, before innodb_checksum_algorithm=full_crc32, the data files did not identify which checksum algorithm is being used.) The non-default settings innodb_checksum_algorithm=strict_crc32 or innodb_checksum_algorithm=strict_full_crc32 would only allow CRC-32C checksums. The incompatibility with old data files is why they are not the default. The newest server not to support innodb_checksum_algorithm=crc32 were MySQL 5.5 and MariaDB 5.5. Both have reached their end of life. A valid reason for using innodb_checksum_algorithm=innodb could have been the ability to downgrade. If it is really needed, data files can be converted with an older version of the innochecksum utility. Because there is no good reason to allow data files to be written with insecure checksums, we will reject those option values: innodb_checksum_algorithm=none innodb_checksum_algorithm=innodb innodb_checksum_algorithm=strict_none innodb_checksum_algorithm=strict_innodb Furthermore, the following innochecksum options will be removed, because only strict crc32 will be supported: innochecksum --strict-check=crc32 innochecksum -C crc32 innochecksum --write=crc32 innochecksum -w crc32 If a user wishes to convert a data file to use a different checksum (so that it might be used with the no-longer-supported MySQL 5.5 or MariaDB 5.5, which do not support IMPORT TABLESPACE nor system tablespace format changes that were made in MariaDB 10.3), then the innochecksum tool from MariaDB 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5 or MySQL 5.7 can be used.

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block().

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages.

Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const.

Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface.

(The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back.

MDEV-23855: Remove fil_system.LRU and reduce fil_system.mutex contention Also fixes MDEV-23929: innodb_flush_neighbors is not being ignored for system tablespace on SSD When the maximum configured number of file is exceeded, InnoDB will close data files. We used to maintain a fil_system.LRU list and a counter fil_node_t::n_pending to achieve this, at the huge cost of multiple fil_system.mutex operations per I/O operation. fil_node_open_file_low(): Implement a FIFO replacement policy: The last opened file will be moved to the end of fil_system.space_list, and files will be closed from the start of the list. However, we will not move tablespaces in fil_system.space_list while i_s_tablespaces_encryption_fill_table() is executing (producing output for INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_TABLESPACES_ENCRYPTION) because it may cause information of some tablespaces to go missing.

During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back.

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted.

MDEV-11799 Doublewrite recovery can corrupt data pages The purpose of the InnoDB doublewrite buffer is to make InnoDB tolerant against cases where the server was killed in the middle of a page write. (In Linux, killing a process may interrupt a write system call, typically on a 4096-byte boundary.) There may exist multiple copies of a page number in the doublewrite buffer. Recovery should choose the latest valid copy of the page. By design, the FIL_PAGE_LSN must not precede the latest checkpoint LSN nor be later than the end of the recovered log. For page_compressed and encrypted pages, we were missing proper consistency checks. In the 10.4 data set generated for in MDEV-23231, the data file contained a valid page_compressed page, and an identical copy of that page was also present in the doublewrite buffer. But, recovery would incorrectly consider the page invalid and restore an uncompressed copy of the same page that had been written before the log checkpoint. (In fact, no redo log was to be applied to that page.) buf_dblwr_process(): Validate the FIL_PAGE_LSN in the doublewrite buffer pages, and always skip page 0, because those pages should have been recovered by Datafile::restore_from_doublewrite() if necessary. Datafile::restore_from_doublewrite(): Choose the latest applicable page from the doublewrite buffer. recv_dblwr_t::find_page(): Also validate encrypted or page_compressed pages. recv_dblwr_t::validate_page(): New function to validate a page, either a copy in a data file or in the doublewrite buffer. Also validate encrypted or page_compressed pages. This is joint work with Thirunarayanan Balathandayuthapani.

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

We used to maintain a fil_system.LRU list and a counter fil_node_t::n_pending to achieve this, at the huge cost of multiple fil_system.mutex operations per I/O operation. fil_node_open_file_low(): Implement a FIFO replacement policy: The last opened file will be moved to the end of fil_system.space_list, and files will be closed from the start of the list. However, we will not move tablespaces in fil_system.space_list while i_s_tablespaces_encryption_fill_table() is executing (producing output for INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_TABLESPACES_ENCRYPTION) because it may cause information of some tablespaces to go missing.

The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated.

The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove.

SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0.

Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block().

Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages.

We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish.

Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[].

Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back.

MDEV-15053 Reduce buf_pool_t::mutex contention User-visible changes: The INFORMATION_SCHEMA views INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE and INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE_LRU will report a dummy value FLUSH_TYPE=0 and will no longer report the PAGE_STATE value READY_FOR_USE. We will remove some fields from buf_page_t and move much code to member functions of buf_pool_t and buf_page_t, so that the access rules of data members can be enforced consistently. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.LRU will remain covered by buf_pool.mutex. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.page_hash will remain covered by both buf_pool.mutex and the buf_pool.page_hash X-latch. After this fix, buf_pool.page_hash lookups can entirely avoid acquiring buf_pool.mutex, only relying on buf_pool.hash_lock_get() S-latch. Similarly, buf_flush_check_neighbors() can will rely solely on buf_pool.mutex, no buf_pool.page_hash latch at all. The buf_pool.mutex is rather contended in I/O heavy benchmarks, especially when the workload does not fit in the buffer pool. The first attempt to alleviate the contention was the buf_pool_t::mutex split in commit 4ed7082eefe56b3e97e0edefb3df76dd7ef5e858 which introduced buf_block_t::mutex, which we are now removing. Later, multiple instances of buf_pool_t were introduced in commit c18084f71b02ea707c6461353e6cfc15d7553bc6 and recently removed by us in commit 1a6f708ec594ac0ae2dd30db926ab07b100fa24b (MDEV-15058). UNIV_BUF_DEBUG: Remove. This option to enable some buffer pool related debugging in otherwise non-debug builds has not been used for years. Instead, we have been using UNIV_DEBUG, which is enabled in CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug. buf_block_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::zip_mutex: Remove. We can mainly rely on std::atomic and the buf_pool.page_hash latches, and in some cases depend on buf_pool.mutex or buf_pool.flush_list_mutex just like before. We must always release buf_block_t::lock before invoking unfix() or io_unfix(), to prevent a glitch where a block that was added to the buf_pool.free list would apper X-latched. See commit c5883debd6ef440a037011c11873b396923e93c5 how this glitch was finally caught in a debug environment. We move some buf_pool_t::page_hash specific code from the ha and hash modules to buf_pool, for improved readability. buf_pool_t::close(): Assert that all blocks are clean, except on aborted startup or crash-like shutdown. buf_pool_t::validate(): No longer attempt to validate n_flush[] against the number of BUF_IO_WRITE fixed blocks, because buf_page_t::flush_type no longer exists. buf_pool_t::watch_set(): Replaces buf_pool_watch_set(). Reduce mutex contention by separating the buf_pool.watch[] allocation and the insert into buf_pool.page_hash. buf_pool_t::page_hash_lock<bool exclusive>(): Acquire a buf_pool.page_hash latch. Replaces and extends buf_page_hash_lock_s_confirm() and buf_page_hash_lock_x_confirm(). buf_pool_t::READ_AHEAD_PAGES: Renamed from BUF_READ_AHEAD_PAGES. buf_pool_t::curr_size, old_size, read_ahead_area, n_pend_reads: Use Atomic_counter. buf_pool_t::running_out(): Replaces buf_LRU_buf_pool_running_out(). buf_pool_t::LRU_remove(): Remove a block from the LRU list and return its predecessor. Incorporates buf_LRU_adjust_hp(), which was removed. buf_page_get_gen(): Remove a redundant call of fsp_is_system_temporary(), for mode == BUF_GET_IF_IN_POOL_OR_WATCH, which is only used by BTR_DELETE_OP (purge), which is never invoked on temporary tables. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Avoid redundant assignments. buf_LRU_free_from_unzip_LRU_list(): Simplify the loop condition. buf_LRU_free_page(): Clarify the function comment. buf_flush_check_neighbor(), buf_flush_check_neighbors(): Rewrite the construction of the page hash range. We will hold the buf_pool.mutex for up to buf_pool.read_ahead_area (at most 64) consecutive lookups of buf_pool.page_hash. buf_flush_page_and_try_neighbors(): Remove. Merge to its only callers, and remove redundant operations in buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(). buf_read_ahead_random(), buf_read_ahead_linear(): Rewrite. Do not acquire buf_pool.mutex, and iterate directly with page_id_t. ut_2_power_up(): Remove. my_round_up_to_next_power() is inlined and avoids any loops. fil_page_get_prev(), fil_page_get_next(), fil_addr_is_null(): Remove. buf_flush_page(): Add a fil_space_t* parameter. Minimize the buf_pool.mutex hold time. buf_pool.n_flush[] is no longer updated atomically with the io_fix, and we will protect most buf_block_t fields with buf_block_t::lock. The function buf_flush_write_block_low() is removed and merged here. buf_page_init_for_read(): Use static linkage. Initialize the newly allocated block and acquire the exclusive buf_block_t::lock while not holding any mutex. IORequest::IORequest(): Remove the body. We only need to invoke set_punch_hole() in buf_flush_page() and nowhere else. buf_page_t::flush_type: Remove. Replaced by IORequest::flush_type. This field is only used during a fil_io() call. That function already takes IORequest as a parameter, so we had better introduce for the rarely changing field. buf_block_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init(). buf_page_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init_low(). buf_block_t::initialise(): Initialise many fields, but keep the buf_page_t::state(). Both buf_pool_t::validate() and buf_page_optimistic_get() requires that buf_page_t::in_file() be protected atomically with buf_page_t::in_page_hash and buf_page_t::in_LRU_list. buf_page_optimistic_get(): Now that buf_block_t::mutex no longer exists, we must check buf_page_t::io_fix() after acquiring the buf_pool.page_hash lock, to detect whether buf_page_init_for_read() has been initiated. We will also check the io_fix() before acquiring hash_lock in order to avoid unnecessary computation. The field buf_block_t::modify_clock (protected by buf_block_t::lock) allows buf_page_optimistic_get() to validate the block. buf_page_t::real_size: Remove. It was only used while flushing pages of page_compressed tables. buf_page_encrypt(): Add an output parameter that allows us ot eliminate buf_page_t::real_size. Replace a condition with debug assertion. buf_page_should_punch_hole(): Remove. buf_dblwr_t::add_to_batch(): Replaces buf_dblwr_add_to_batch(). Add the parameter size (to replace buf_page_t::real_size). buf_dblwr_t::write_single_page(): Replaces buf_dblwr_write_single_page(). Add the parameter size (to replace buf_page_t::real_size). fil_system_t::detach(): Replaces fil_space_detach(). Ensure that fil_validate() will not be violated even if fil_system.mutex is released and reacquired. fil_node_t::complete_io(): Renamed from fil_node_complete_io(). fil_node_t::close_to_free(): Replaces fil_node_close_to_free(). Avoid invoking fil_node_t::close() because fil_system.n_open has already been decremented in fil_space_t::detach(). BUF_BLOCK_READY_FOR_USE: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_MEMORY. BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_DIRTY: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_PAGE, and distinguish dirty pages by buf_page_t::oldest_modification(). BUF_BLOCK_POOL_WATCH: Remove. Use BUF_BLOCK_NOT_USED instead. This state was only being used for buf_page_t that are in buf_pool.watch. buf_pool_t::watch[]: Remove pointer indirection. buf_page_t::in_flush_list: Remove. It was set if and only if buf_page_t::oldest_modification() is nonzero. buf_page_decrypt_after_read(), buf_corrupt_page_release(), buf_page_check_corrupt(): Change the const fil_space_t* parameter to const fil_node_t& so that we can report the correct file name. buf_page_monitor(): Declare as an ATTRIBUTE_COLD global function. buf_page_io_complete(): Split to buf_page_read_complete() and buf_page_write_complete(). buf_dblwr_t::in_use: Remove. buf_dblwr_t::buf_block_array: Add IORequest::flush_t. buf_dblwr_sync_datafiles(): Remove. It was a useless wrapper of os_aio_wait_until_no_pending_writes(). buf_flush_write_complete(): Declare static, not global. Add the parameter IORequest::flush_t. buf_flush_freed_page(): Simplify the code. recv_sys_t::flush_lru: Renamed from flush_type and changed to bool. fil_read(), fil_write(): Replaced with direct use of fil_io(). fil_buffering_disabled(): Remove. Check srv_file_flush_method directly. fil_mutex_enter_and_prepare_for_io(): Return the resolved fil_space_t* to avoid a duplicated lookup in the caller. fil_report_invalid_page_access(): Clean up the parameters. fil_io(): Return fil_io_t, which comprises fil_node_t and error code. Always invoke fil_space_t::acquire_for_io() and let either the sync=true caller or fil_aio_callback() invoke fil_space_t::release_for_io(). fil_aio_callback(): Rewrite to replace buf_page_io_complete(). fil_check_pending_operations(): Remove a parameter, and remove some redundant lookups. fil_node_close_to_free(): Wait for n_pending==0. Because we no longer do an extra lookup of the tablespace between fil_io() and the completion of the operation, we must give fil_node_t::complete_io() a chance to decrement the counter. fil_close_tablespace(): Remove unused parameter trx, and document that this is only invoked during the error handling of IMPORT TABLESPACE. row_import_discard_changes(): Merged with the only caller, row_import_cleanup(). Do not lock up the data dictionary while invoking fil_close_tablespace(). logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown(): Do not invoke fil_close_all_files(), to avoid a !needs_flush assertion failure on fil_node_t::close(). innodb_shutdown(): Invoke os_aio_free() before fil_close_all_files(). fil_close_all_files(): Invoke fil_flush_file_spaces() to ensure proper durability. thread_pool::unbind(): Fix a crash that would occur on Windows after srv_thread_pool->disable_aio() and os_file_close(). This fix was submitted by Vladislav Vaintroub. Thanks to Matthias Leich and Axel Schwenke for extensive testing, Vladislav Vaintroub for helpful comments, and Eugene Kosov for a review.

/** Update the doublewrite buffer on write completion. */
MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

MDEV-15053 Reduce buf_pool_t::mutex contention User-visible changes: The INFORMATION_SCHEMA views INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE and INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE_LRU will report a dummy value FLUSH_TYPE=0 and will no longer report the PAGE_STATE value READY_FOR_USE. We will remove some fields from buf_page_t and move much code to member functions of buf_pool_t and buf_page_t, so that the access rules of data members can be enforced consistently. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.LRU will remain covered by buf_pool.mutex. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.page_hash will remain covered by both buf_pool.mutex and the buf_pool.page_hash X-latch. After this fix, buf_pool.page_hash lookups can entirely avoid acquiring buf_pool.mutex, only relying on buf_pool.hash_lock_get() S-latch. Similarly, buf_flush_check_neighbors() can will rely solely on buf_pool.mutex, no buf_pool.page_hash latch at all. The buf_pool.mutex is rather contended in I/O heavy benchmarks, especially when the workload does not fit in the buffer pool. The first attempt to alleviate the contention was the buf_pool_t::mutex split in commit 4ed7082eefe56b3e97e0edefb3df76dd7ef5e858 which introduced buf_block_t::mutex, which we are now removing. Later, multiple instances of buf_pool_t were introduced in commit c18084f71b02ea707c6461353e6cfc15d7553bc6 and recently removed by us in commit 1a6f708ec594ac0ae2dd30db926ab07b100fa24b (MDEV-15058). UNIV_BUF_DEBUG: Remove. This option to enable some buffer pool related debugging in otherwise non-debug builds has not been used for years. Instead, we have been using UNIV_DEBUG, which is enabled in CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug. buf_block_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::zip_mutex: Remove. We can mainly rely on std::atomic and the buf_pool.page_hash latches, and in some cases depend on buf_pool.mutex or buf_pool.flush_list_mutex just like before. We must always release buf_block_t::lock before invoking unfix() or io_unfix(), to prevent a glitch where a block that was added to the buf_pool.free list would apper X-latched. See commit c5883debd6ef440a037011c11873b396923e93c5 how this glitch was finally caught in a debug environment. We move some buf_pool_t::page_hash specific code from the ha and hash modules to buf_pool, for improved readability. buf_pool_t::close(): Assert that all blocks are clean, except on aborted startup or crash-like shutdown. buf_pool_t::validate(): No longer attempt to validate n_flush[] against the number of BUF_IO_WRITE fixed blocks, because buf_page_t::flush_type no longer exists. buf_pool_t::watch_set(): Replaces buf_pool_watch_set(). Reduce mutex contention by separating the buf_pool.watch[] allocation and the insert into buf_pool.page_hash. buf_pool_t::page_hash_lock<bool exclusive>(): Acquire a buf_pool.page_hash latch. Replaces and extends buf_page_hash_lock_s_confirm() and buf_page_hash_lock_x_confirm(). buf_pool_t::READ_AHEAD_PAGES: Renamed from BUF_READ_AHEAD_PAGES. buf_pool_t::curr_size, old_size, read_ahead_area, n_pend_reads: Use Atomic_counter. buf_pool_t::running_out(): Replaces buf_LRU_buf_pool_running_out(). buf_pool_t::LRU_remove(): Remove a block from the LRU list and return its predecessor. Incorporates buf_LRU_adjust_hp(), which was removed. buf_page_get_gen(): Remove a redundant call of fsp_is_system_temporary(), for mode == BUF_GET_IF_IN_POOL_OR_WATCH, which is only used by BTR_DELETE_OP (purge), which is never invoked on temporary tables. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Avoid redundant assignments. buf_LRU_free_from_unzip_LRU_list(): Simplify the loop condition. buf_LRU_free_page(): Clarify the function comment. buf_flush_check_neighbor(), buf_flush_check_neighbors(): Rewrite the construction of the page hash range. We will hold the buf_pool.mutex for up to buf_pool.read_ahead_area (at most 64) consecutive lookups of buf_pool.page_hash. buf_flush_page_and_try_neighbors(): Remove. Merge to its only callers, and remove redundant operations in buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(). buf_read_ahead_random(), buf_read_ahead_linear(): Rewrite. Do not acquire buf_pool.mutex, and iterate directly with page_id_t. ut_2_power_up(): Remove. my_round_up_to_next_power() is inlined and avoids any loops. fil_page_get_prev(), fil_page_get_next(), fil_addr_is_null(): Remove. buf_flush_page(): Add a fil_space_t* parameter. Minimize the buf_pool.mutex hold time. buf_pool.n_flush[] is no longer updated atomically with the io_fix, and we will protect most buf_block_t fields with buf_block_t::lock. The function buf_flush_write_block_low() is removed and merged here. buf_page_init_for_read(): Use static linkage. Initialize the newly allocated block and acquire the exclusive buf_block_t::lock while not holding any mutex. IORequest::IORequest(): Remove the body. We only need to invoke set_punch_hole() in buf_flush_page() and nowhere else. buf_page_t::flush_type: Remove. Replaced by IORequest::flush_type. This field is only used during a fil_io() call. That function already takes IORequest as a parameter, so we had better introduce for the rarely changing field. buf_block_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init(). buf_page_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init_low(). buf_block_t::initialise(): Initialise many fields, but keep the buf_page_t::state(). Both buf_pool_t::validate() and buf_page_optimistic_get() requires that buf_page_t::in_file() be protected atomically with buf_page_t::in_page_hash and buf_page_t::in_LRU_list. buf_page_optimistic_get(): Now that buf_block_t::mutex no longer exists, we must check buf_page_t::io_fix() after acquiring the buf_pool.page_hash lock, to detect whether buf_page_init_for_read() has been initiated. We will also check the io_fix() before acquiring hash_lock in order to avoid unnecessary computation. The field buf_block_t::modify_clock (protected by buf_block_t::lock) allows buf_page_optimistic_get() to validate the block. buf_page_t::real_size: Remove. It was only used while flushing pages of page_compressed tables. buf_page_encrypt(): Add an output parameter that allows us ot eliminate buf_page_t::real_size. Replace a condition with debug assertion. buf_page_should_punch_hole(): Remove. buf_dblwr_t::add_to_batch(): Replaces buf_dblwr_add_to_batch(). Add the parameter size (to replace buf_page_t::real_size). buf_dblwr_t::write_single_page(): Replaces buf_dblwr_write_single_page(). Add the parameter size (to replace buf_page_t::real_size). fil_system_t::detach(): Replaces fil_space_detach(). Ensure that fil_validate() will not be violated even if fil_system.mutex is released and reacquired. fil_node_t::complete_io(): Renamed from fil_node_complete_io(). fil_node_t::close_to_free(): Replaces fil_node_close_to_free(). Avoid invoking fil_node_t::close() because fil_system.n_open has already been decremented in fil_space_t::detach(). BUF_BLOCK_READY_FOR_USE: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_MEMORY. BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_DIRTY: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_PAGE, and distinguish dirty pages by buf_page_t::oldest_modification(). BUF_BLOCK_POOL_WATCH: Remove. Use BUF_BLOCK_NOT_USED instead. This state was only being used for buf_page_t that are in buf_pool.watch. buf_pool_t::watch[]: Remove pointer indirection. buf_page_t::in_flush_list: Remove. It was set if and only if buf_page_t::oldest_modification() is nonzero. buf_page_decrypt_after_read(), buf_corrupt_page_release(), buf_page_check_corrupt(): Change the const fil_space_t* parameter to const fil_node_t& so that we can report the correct file name. buf_page_monitor(): Declare as an ATTRIBUTE_COLD global function. buf_page_io_complete(): Split to buf_page_read_complete() and buf_page_write_complete(). buf_dblwr_t::in_use: Remove. buf_dblwr_t::buf_block_array: Add IORequest::flush_t. buf_dblwr_sync_datafiles(): Remove. It was a useless wrapper of os_aio_wait_until_no_pending_writes(). buf_flush_write_complete(): Declare static, not global. Add the parameter IORequest::flush_t. buf_flush_freed_page(): Simplify the code. recv_sys_t::flush_lru: Renamed from flush_type and changed to bool. fil_read(), fil_write(): Replaced with direct use of fil_io(). fil_buffering_disabled(): Remove. Check srv_file_flush_method directly. fil_mutex_enter_and_prepare_for_io(): Return the resolved fil_space_t* to avoid a duplicated lookup in the caller. fil_report_invalid_page_access(): Clean up the parameters. fil_io(): Return fil_io_t, which comprises fil_node_t and error code. Always invoke fil_space_t::acquire_for_io() and let either the sync=true caller or fil_aio_callback() invoke fil_space_t::release_for_io(). fil_aio_callback(): Rewrite to replace buf_page_io_complete(). fil_check_pending_operations(): Remove a parameter, and remove some redundant lookups. fil_node_close_to_free(): Wait for n_pending==0. Because we no longer do an extra lookup of the tablespace between fil_io() and the completion of the operation, we must give fil_node_t::complete_io() a chance to decrement the counter. fil_close_tablespace(): Remove unused parameter trx, and document that this is only invoked during the error handling of IMPORT TABLESPACE. row_import_discard_changes(): Merged with the only caller, row_import_cleanup(). Do not lock up the data dictionary while invoking fil_close_tablespace(). logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown(): Do not invoke fil_close_all_files(), to avoid a !needs_flush assertion failure on fil_node_t::close(). innodb_shutdown(): Invoke os_aio_free() before fil_close_all_files(). fil_close_all_files(): Invoke fil_flush_file_spaces() to ensure proper durability. thread_pool::unbind(): Fix a crash that would occur on Windows after srv_thread_pool->disable_aio() and os_file_close(). This fix was submitted by Vladislav Vaintroub. Thanks to Matthias Leich and Axel Schwenke for extensive testing, Vladislav Vaintroub for helpful comments, and Eugene Kosov for a review.

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const.

Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface.

Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32().

Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex.

MDEV-15053 Reduce buf_pool_t::mutex contention User-visible changes: The INFORMATION_SCHEMA views INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE and INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE_LRU will report a dummy value FLUSH_TYPE=0 and will no longer report the PAGE_STATE value READY_FOR_USE. We will remove some fields from buf_page_t and move much code to member functions of buf_pool_t and buf_page_t, so that the access rules of data members can be enforced consistently. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.LRU will remain covered by buf_pool.mutex. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.page_hash will remain covered by both buf_pool.mutex and the buf_pool.page_hash X-latch. After this fix, buf_pool.page_hash lookups can entirely avoid acquiring buf_pool.mutex, only relying on buf_pool.hash_lock_get() S-latch. Similarly, buf_flush_check_neighbors() can will rely solely on buf_pool.mutex, no buf_pool.page_hash latch at all. The buf_pool.mutex is rather contended in I/O heavy benchmarks, especially when the workload does not fit in the buffer pool. The first attempt to alleviate the contention was the buf_pool_t::mutex split in commit 4ed7082eefe56b3e97e0edefb3df76dd7ef5e858 which introduced buf_block_t::mutex, which we are now removing. Later, multiple instances of buf_pool_t were introduced in commit c18084f71b02ea707c6461353e6cfc15d7553bc6 and recently removed by us in commit 1a6f708ec594ac0ae2dd30db926ab07b100fa24b (MDEV-15058). UNIV_BUF_DEBUG: Remove. This option to enable some buffer pool related debugging in otherwise non-debug builds has not been used for years. Instead, we have been using UNIV_DEBUG, which is enabled in CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug. buf_block_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::zip_mutex: Remove. We can mainly rely on std::atomic and the buf_pool.page_hash latches, and in some cases depend on buf_pool.mutex or buf_pool.flush_list_mutex just like before. We must always release buf_block_t::lock before invoking unfix() or io_unfix(), to prevent a glitch where a block that was added to the buf_pool.free list would apper X-latched. See commit c5883debd6ef440a037011c11873b396923e93c5 how this glitch was finally caught in a debug environment. We move some buf_pool_t::page_hash specific code from the ha and hash modules to buf_pool, for improved readability. buf_pool_t::close(): Assert that all blocks are clean, except on aborted startup or crash-like shutdown. buf_pool_t::validate(): No longer attempt to validate n_flush[] against the number of BUF_IO_WRITE fixed blocks, because buf_page_t::flush_type no longer exists. buf_pool_t::watch_set(): Replaces buf_pool_watch_set(). Reduce mutex contention by separating the buf_pool.watch[] allocation and the insert into buf_pool.page_hash. buf_pool_t::page_hash_lock<bool exclusive>(): Acquire a buf_pool.page_hash latch.

Incorporates buf_LRU_adjust_hp(), which was removed. buf_page_get_gen(): Remove a redundant call of fsp_is_system_temporary(), for mode == BUF_GET_IF_IN_POOL_OR_WATCH, which is only used by BTR_DELETE_OP (purge), which is never invoked on temporary tables. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Avoid redundant assignments. buf_LRU_free_from_unzip_LRU_list(): Simplify the loop condition. buf_LRU_free_page(): Clarify the function comment. buf_flush_check_neighbor(), buf_flush_check_neighbors(): Rewrite the construction of the page hash range. We will hold the buf_pool.mutex for up to buf_pool.read_ahead_area (at most 64) consecutive lookups of buf_pool.page_hash. buf_flush_page_and_try_neighbors(): Remove. Merge to its only callers, and remove redundant operations in buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(). buf_read_ahead_random(), buf_read_ahead_linear(): Rewrite. Do not acquire buf_pool.mutex, and iterate directly with page_id_t. ut_2_power_up(): Remove. my_round_up_to_next_power() is inlined and avoids any loops. fil_page_get_prev(), fil_page_get_next(), fil_addr_is_null(): Remove. buf_flush_page(): Add a fil_space_t* parameter. Minimize the buf_pool.mutex hold time. buf_pool.n_flush[] is no longer updated atomically with the io_fix, and we will protect most buf_block_t fields with buf_block_t::lock. The function buf_flush_write_block_low() is removed and merged here. buf_page_init_for_read(): Use static linkage. Initialize the newly allocated block and acquire the exclusive buf_block_t::lock while not holding any mutex. IORequest::IORequest(): Remove the body. We only need to invoke set_punch_hole() in buf_flush_page() and nowhere else. buf_page_t::flush_type: Remove. Replaced by IORequest::flush_type. This field is only used during a fil_io() call. That function already takes IORequest as a parameter, so we had better introduce for the rarely changing field. buf_block_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init(). buf_page_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init_low(). buf_block_t::initialise(): Initialise many fields, but keep the buf_page_t::state(). Both buf_pool_t::validate() and buf_page_optimistic_get() requires that buf_page_t::in_file() be protected atomically with buf_page_t::in_page_hash and buf_page_t::in_LRU_list. buf_page_optimistic_get(): Now that buf_block_t::mutex no longer exists, we must check buf_page_t::io_fix() after acquiring the buf_pool.page_hash lock, to detect whether buf_page_init_for_read() has been initiated. We will also check the io_fix() before acquiring hash_lock in order to avoid unnecessary computation. The field buf_block_t::modify_clock (protected by buf_block_t::lock) allows buf_page_optimistic_get() to validate the block. buf_page_t::real_size: Remove. It was only used while flushing pages of page_compressed tables. buf_page_encrypt(): Add an output parameter that allows us ot eliminate buf_page_t::real_size. Replace a condition with debug assertion. buf_page_should_punch_hole(): Remove. buf_dblwr_t::add_to_batch(): Replaces buf_dblwr_add_to_batch(). Add the parameter size (to replace buf_page_t::real_size). buf_dblwr_t::write_single_page(): Replaces buf_dblwr_write_single_page().

BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_DIRTY: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_PAGE, and distinguish dirty pages by buf_page_t::oldest_modification(). BUF_BLOCK_POOL_WATCH: Remove. Use BUF_BLOCK_NOT_USED instead. This state was only being used for buf_page_t that are in buf_pool.watch. buf_pool_t::watch[]: Remove pointer indirection. buf_page_t::in_flush_list: Remove. It was set if and only if buf_page_t::oldest_modification() is nonzero. buf_page_decrypt_after_read(), buf_corrupt_page_release(), buf_page_check_corrupt(): Change the const fil_space_t* parameter to const fil_node_t& so that we can report the correct file name. buf_page_monitor(): Declare as an ATTRIBUTE_COLD global function. buf_page_io_complete(): Split to buf_page_read_complete() and buf_page_write_complete(). buf_dblwr_t::in_use: Remove. buf_dblwr_t::buf_block_array: Add IORequest::flush_t. buf_dblwr_sync_datafiles(): Remove. It was a useless wrapper of os_aio_wait_until_no_pending_writes(). buf_flush_write_complete(): Declare static, not global. Add the parameter IORequest::flush_t. buf_flush_freed_page(): Simplify the code. recv_sys_t::flush_lru: Renamed from flush_type and changed to bool. fil_read(), fil_write(): Replaced with direct use of fil_io(). fil_buffering_disabled(): Remove.

Always invoke fil_space_t::acquire_for_io() and let either the sync=true caller or fil_aio_callback() invoke fil_space_t::release_for_io(). fil_aio_callback(): Rewrite to replace buf_page_io_complete(). fil_check_pending_operations(): Remove a parameter, and remove some redundant lookups. fil_node_close_to_free(): Wait for n_pending==0. Because we no longer do an extra lookup of the tablespace between fil_io() and the completion of the operation, we must give fil_node_t::complete_io() a chance to decrement the counter. fil_close_tablespace(): Remove unused parameter trx, and document that this is only invoked during the error handling of IMPORT TABLESPACE. row_import_discard_changes(): Merged with the only caller, row_import_cleanup(). Do not lock up the data dictionary while invoking fil_close_tablespace(). logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown(): Do not invoke fil_close_all_files(), to avoid a !needs_flush assertion failure on fil_node_t::close(). innodb_shutdown(): Invoke os_aio_free() before fil_close_all_files(). fil_close_all_files(): Invoke fil_flush_file_spaces() to ensure proper durability. thread_pool::unbind(): Fix a crash that would occur on Windows after srv_thread_pool->disable_aio() and os_file_close(). This fix was submitted by Vladislav Vaintroub. Thanks to Matthias Leich and Axel Schwenke for extensive testing, Vladislav Vaintroub for helpful comments, and Eugene Kosov for a review.

ut_ad(!srv_read_only_mode);
MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

Incorporates buf_LRU_adjust_hp(), which was removed. buf_page_get_gen(): Remove a redundant call of fsp_is_system_temporary(), for mode == BUF_GET_IF_IN_POOL_OR_WATCH, which is only used by BTR_DELETE_OP (purge), which is never invoked on temporary tables. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Avoid redundant assignments. buf_LRU_free_from_unzip_LRU_list(): Simplify the loop condition. buf_LRU_free_page(): Clarify the function comment. buf_flush_check_neighbor(), buf_flush_check_neighbors(): Rewrite the construction of the page hash range. We will hold the buf_pool.mutex for up to buf_pool.read_ahead_area (at most 64) consecutive lookups of buf_pool.page_hash. buf_flush_page_and_try_neighbors(): Remove. Merge to its only callers, and remove redundant operations in buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(). buf_read_ahead_random(), buf_read_ahead_linear(): Rewrite. Do not acquire buf_pool.mutex, and iterate directly with page_id_t. ut_2_power_up(): Remove. my_round_up_to_next_power() is inlined and avoids any loops. fil_page_get_prev(), fil_page_get_next(), fil_addr_is_null(): Remove. buf_flush_page(): Add a fil_space_t* parameter. Minimize the buf_pool.mutex hold time. buf_pool.n_flush[] is no longer updated atomically with the io_fix, and we will protect most buf_block_t fields with buf_block_t::lock. The function buf_flush_write_block_low() is removed and merged here. buf_page_init_for_read(): Use static linkage. Initialize the newly allocated block and acquire the exclusive buf_block_t::lock while not holding any mutex. IORequest::IORequest(): Remove the body. We only need to invoke set_punch_hole() in buf_flush_page() and nowhere else. buf_page_t::flush_type: Remove. Replaced by IORequest::flush_type. This field is only used during a fil_io() call. That function already takes IORequest as a parameter, so we had better introduce for the rarely changing field. buf_block_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init(). buf_page_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init_low(). buf_block_t::initialise(): Initialise many fields, but keep the buf_page_t::state(). Both buf_pool_t::validate() and buf_page_optimistic_get() requires that buf_page_t::in_file() be protected atomically with buf_page_t::in_page_hash and buf_page_t::in_LRU_list. buf_page_optimistic_get(): Now that buf_block_t::mutex no longer exists, we must check buf_page_t::io_fix() after acquiring the buf_pool.page_hash lock, to detect whether buf_page_init_for_read() has been initiated. We will also check the io_fix() before acquiring hash_lock in order to avoid unnecessary computation. The field buf_block_t::modify_clock (protected by buf_block_t::lock) allows buf_page_optimistic_get() to validate the block. buf_page_t::real_size: Remove. It was only used while flushing pages of page_compressed tables. buf_page_encrypt(): Add an output parameter that allows us ot eliminate buf_page_t::real_size. Replace a condition with debug assertion. buf_page_should_punch_hole(): Remove. buf_dblwr_t::add_to_batch(): Replaces buf_dblwr_add_to_batch(). Add the parameter size (to replace buf_page_t::real_size). buf_dblwr_t::write_single_page(): Replaces buf_dblwr_write_single_page(). Add the parameter size (to replace buf_page_t::real_size). fil_system_t::detach(): Replaces fil_space_detach(). Ensure that fil_validate() will not be violated even if fil_system.mutex is released and reacquired. fil_node_t::complete_io(): Renamed from fil_node_complete_io(). fil_node_t::close_to_free(): Replaces fil_node_close_to_free(). Avoid invoking fil_node_t::close() because fil_system.n_open has already been decremented in fil_space_t::detach(). BUF_BLOCK_READY_FOR_USE: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_MEMORY. BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_DIRTY: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_PAGE, and distinguish dirty pages by buf_page_t::oldest_modification(). BUF_BLOCK_POOL_WATCH: Remove. Use BUF_BLOCK_NOT_USED instead. This state was only being used for buf_page_t that are in buf_pool.watch. buf_pool_t::watch[]: Remove pointer indirection. buf_page_t::in_flush_list: Remove. It was set if and only if buf_page_t::oldest_modification() is nonzero. buf_page_decrypt_after_read(), buf_corrupt_page_release(), buf_page_check_corrupt(): Change the const fil_space_t* parameter to const fil_node_t& so that we can report the correct file name. buf_page_monitor(): Declare as an ATTRIBUTE_COLD global function. buf_page_io_complete(): Split to buf_page_read_complete() and buf_page_write_complete(). buf_dblwr_t::in_use: Remove. buf_dblwr_t::buf_block_array: Add IORequest::flush_t. buf_dblwr_sync_datafiles(): Remove. It was a useless wrapper of os_aio_wait_until_no_pending_writes(). buf_flush_write_complete(): Declare static, not global. Add the parameter IORequest::flush_t. buf_flush_freed_page(): Simplify the code. recv_sys_t::flush_lru: Renamed from flush_type and changed to bool. fil_read(), fil_write(): Replaced with direct use of fil_io(). fil_buffering_disabled(): Remove. Check srv_file_flush_method directly. fil_mutex_enter_and_prepare_for_io(): Return the resolved fil_space_t* to avoid a duplicated lookup in the caller. fil_report_invalid_page_access(): Clean up the parameters. fil_io(): Return fil_io_t, which comprises fil_node_t and error code. Always invoke fil_space_t::acquire_for_io() and let either the sync=true caller or fil_aio_callback() invoke fil_space_t::release_for_io(). fil_aio_callback(): Rewrite to replace buf_page_io_complete(). fil_check_pending_operations(): Remove a parameter, and remove some redundant lookups. fil_node_close_to_free(): Wait for n_pending==0. Because we no longer do an extra lookup of the tablespace between fil_io() and the completion of the operation, we must give fil_node_t::complete_io() a chance to decrement the counter. fil_close_tablespace(): Remove unused parameter trx, and document that this is only invoked during the error handling of IMPORT TABLESPACE. row_import_discard_changes(): Merged with the only caller, row_import_cleanup(). Do not lock up the data dictionary while invoking fil_close_tablespace(). logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown(): Do not invoke fil_close_all_files(), to avoid a !needs_flush assertion failure on fil_node_t::close(). innodb_shutdown(): Invoke os_aio_free() before fil_close_all_files(). fil_close_all_files(): Invoke fil_flush_file_spaces() to ensure proper durability. thread_pool::unbind(): Fix a crash that would occur on Windows after srv_thread_pool->disable_aio() and os_file_close(). This fix was submitted by Vladislav Vaintroub. Thanks to Matthias Leich and Axel Schwenke for extensive testing, Vladislav Vaintroub for helpful comments, and Eugene Kosov for a review.

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

MDEV-15053 Reduce buf_pool_t::mutex contention User-visible changes: The INFORMATION_SCHEMA views INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE and INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE_LRU will report a dummy value FLUSH_TYPE=0 and will no longer report the PAGE_STATE value READY_FOR_USE. We will remove some fields from buf_page_t and move much code to member functions of buf_pool_t and buf_page_t, so that the access rules of data members can be enforced consistently. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.LRU will remain covered by buf_pool.mutex. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.page_hash will remain covered by both buf_pool.mutex and the buf_pool.page_hash X-latch. After this fix, buf_pool.page_hash lookups can entirely avoid acquiring buf_pool.mutex, only relying on buf_pool.hash_lock_get() S-latch. Similarly, buf_flush_check_neighbors() can will rely solely on buf_pool.mutex, no buf_pool.page_hash latch at all. The buf_pool.mutex is rather contended in I/O heavy benchmarks, especially when the workload does not fit in the buffer pool. The first attempt to alleviate the contention was the buf_pool_t::mutex split in commit 4ed7082eefe56b3e97e0edefb3df76dd7ef5e858 which introduced buf_block_t::mutex, which we are now removing. Later, multiple instances of buf_pool_t were introduced in commit c18084f71b02ea707c6461353e6cfc15d7553bc6 and recently removed by us in commit 1a6f708ec594ac0ae2dd30db926ab07b100fa24b (MDEV-15058). UNIV_BUF_DEBUG: Remove. This option to enable some buffer pool related debugging in otherwise non-debug builds has not been used for years. Instead, we have been using UNIV_DEBUG, which is enabled in CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug. buf_block_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::zip_mutex: Remove. We can mainly rely on std::atomic and the buf_pool.page_hash latches, and in some cases depend on buf_pool.mutex or buf_pool.flush_list_mutex just like before. We must always release buf_block_t::lock before invoking unfix() or io_unfix(), to prevent a glitch where a block that was added to the buf_pool.free list would apper X-latched. See commit c5883debd6ef440a037011c11873b396923e93c5 how this glitch was finally caught in a debug environment. We move some buf_pool_t::page_hash specific code from the ha and hash modules to buf_pool, for improved readability. buf_pool_t::close(): Assert that all blocks are clean, except on aborted startup or crash-like shutdown. buf_pool_t::validate(): No longer attempt to validate n_flush[] against the number of BUF_IO_WRITE fixed blocks, because buf_page_t::flush_type no longer exists. buf_pool_t::watch_set(): Replaces buf_pool_watch_set().

Always invoke fil_space_t::acquire_for_io() and let either the sync=true caller or fil_aio_callback() invoke fil_space_t::release_for_io(). fil_aio_callback(): Rewrite to replace buf_page_io_complete(). fil_check_pending_operations(): Remove a parameter, and remove some redundant lookups. fil_node_close_to_free(): Wait for n_pending==0. Because we no longer do an extra lookup of the tablespace between fil_io() and the completion of the operation, we must give fil_node_t::complete_io() a chance to decrement the counter. fil_close_tablespace(): Remove unused parameter trx, and document that this is only invoked during the error handling of IMPORT TABLESPACE. row_import_discard_changes(): Merged with the only caller, row_import_cleanup().

MDEV-15053 Reduce buf_pool_t::mutex contention User-visible changes: The INFORMATION_SCHEMA views INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE and INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE_LRU will report a dummy value FLUSH_TYPE=0 and will no longer report the PAGE_STATE value READY_FOR_USE. We will remove some fields from buf_page_t and move much code to member functions of buf_pool_t and buf_page_t, so that the access rules of data members can be enforced consistently. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.LRU will remain covered by buf_pool.mutex. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.page_hash will remain covered by both buf_pool.mutex and the buf_pool.page_hash X-latch. After this fix, buf_pool.page_hash lookups can entirely avoid acquiring buf_pool.mutex, only relying on buf_pool.hash_lock_get() S-latch. Similarly, buf_flush_check_neighbors() can will rely solely on buf_pool.mutex, no buf_pool.page_hash latch at all. The buf_pool.mutex is rather contended in I/O heavy benchmarks, especially when the workload does not fit in the buffer pool. The first attempt to alleviate the contention was the buf_pool_t::mutex split in commit 4ed7082eefe56b3e97e0edefb3df76dd7ef5e858 which introduced buf_block_t::mutex, which we are now removing. Later, multiple instances of buf_pool_t were introduced in commit c18084f71b02ea707c6461353e6cfc15d7553bc6 and recently removed by us in commit 1a6f708ec594ac0ae2dd30db926ab07b100fa24b (MDEV-15058). UNIV_BUF_DEBUG: Remove. This option to enable some buffer pool related debugging in otherwise non-debug builds has not been used for years. Instead, we have been using UNIV_DEBUG, which is enabled in CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug. buf_block_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::zip_mutex: Remove. We can mainly rely on std::atomic and the buf_pool.page_hash latches, and in some cases depend on buf_pool.mutex or buf_pool.flush_list_mutex just like before. We must always release buf_block_t::lock before invoking unfix() or io_unfix(), to prevent a glitch where a block that was added to the buf_pool.free list would apper X-latched. See commit c5883debd6ef440a037011c11873b396923e93c5 how this glitch was finally caught in a debug environment. We move some buf_pool_t::page_hash specific code from the ha and hash modules to buf_pool, for improved readability. buf_pool_t::close(): Assert that all blocks are clean, except on aborted startup or crash-like shutdown. buf_pool_t::validate(): No longer attempt to validate n_flush[] against the number of BUF_IO_WRITE fixed blocks, because buf_page_t::flush_type no longer exists. buf_pool_t::watch_set(): Replaces buf_pool_watch_set(). Reduce mutex contention by separating the buf_pool.watch[] allocation and the insert into buf_pool.page_hash. buf_pool_t::page_hash_lock<bool exclusive>(): Acquire a buf_pool.page_hash latch. Replaces and extends buf_page_hash_lock_s_confirm() and buf_page_hash_lock_x_confirm(). buf_pool_t::READ_AHEAD_PAGES: Renamed from BUF_READ_AHEAD_PAGES. buf_pool_t::curr_size, old_size, read_ahead_area, n_pend_reads: Use Atomic_counter. buf_pool_t::running_out(): Replaces buf_LRU_buf_pool_running_out(). buf_pool_t::LRU_remove(): Remove a block from the LRU list and return its predecessor. Incorporates buf_LRU_adjust_hp(), which was removed. buf_page_get_gen(): Remove a redundant call of fsp_is_system_temporary(), for mode == BUF_GET_IF_IN_POOL_OR_WATCH, which is only used by BTR_DELETE_OP (purge), which is never invoked on temporary tables. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Avoid redundant assignments. buf_LRU_free_from_unzip_LRU_list(): Simplify the loop condition. buf_LRU_free_page(): Clarify the function comment. buf_flush_check_neighbor(), buf_flush_check_neighbors(): Rewrite the construction of the page hash range. We will hold the buf_pool.mutex for up to buf_pool.read_ahead_area (at most 64) consecutive lookups of buf_pool.page_hash. buf_flush_page_and_try_neighbors(): Remove. Merge to its only callers, and remove redundant operations in buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(). buf_read_ahead_random(), buf_read_ahead_linear(): Rewrite. Do not acquire buf_pool.mutex, and iterate directly with page_id_t. ut_2_power_up(): Remove. my_round_up_to_next_power() is inlined and avoids any loops. fil_page_get_prev(), fil_page_get_next(), fil_addr_is_null(): Remove. buf_flush_page(): Add a fil_space_t* parameter. Minimize the buf_pool.mutex hold time. buf_pool.n_flush[] is no longer updated atomically with the io_fix, and we will protect most buf_block_t fields with buf_block_t::lock. The function buf_flush_write_block_low() is removed and merged here. buf_page_init_for_read(): Use static linkage. Initialize the newly allocated block and acquire the exclusive buf_block_t::lock while not holding any mutex. IORequest::IORequest(): Remove the body. We only need to invoke set_punch_hole() in buf_flush_page() and nowhere else. buf_page_t::flush_type: Remove. Replaced by IORequest::flush_type. This field is only used during a fil_io() call. That function already takes IORequest as a parameter, so we had better introduce for the rarely changing field. buf_block_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init(). buf_page_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init_low(). buf_block_t::initialise(): Initialise many fields, but keep the buf_page_t::state(). Both buf_pool_t::validate() and buf_page_optimistic_get() requires that buf_page_t::in_file() be protected atomically with buf_page_t::in_page_hash and buf_page_t::in_LRU_list. buf_page_optimistic_get(): Now that buf_block_t::mutex no longer exists, we must check buf_page_t::io_fix() after acquiring the buf_pool.page_hash lock, to detect whether buf_page_init_for_read() has been initiated. We will also check the io_fix() before acquiring hash_lock in order to avoid unnecessary computation. The field buf_block_t::modify_clock (protected by buf_block_t::lock) allows buf_page_optimistic_get() to validate the block. buf_page_t::real_size: Remove. It was only used while flushing pages of page_compressed tables. buf_page_encrypt(): Add an output parameter that allows us ot eliminate buf_page_t::real_size. Replace a condition with debug assertion. buf_page_should_punch_hole(): Remove. buf_dblwr_t::add_to_batch(): Replaces buf_dblwr_add_to_batch(). Add the parameter size (to replace buf_page_t::real_size). buf_dblwr_t::write_single_page(): Replaces buf_dblwr_write_single_page(). Add the parameter size (to replace buf_page_t::real_size). fil_system_t::detach(): Replaces fil_space_detach(). Ensure that fil_validate() will not be violated even if fil_system.mutex is released and reacquired. fil_node_t::complete_io(): Renamed from fil_node_complete_io(). fil_node_t::close_to_free(): Replaces fil_node_close_to_free(). Avoid invoking fil_node_t::close() because fil_system.n_open has already been decremented in fil_space_t::detach(). BUF_BLOCK_READY_FOR_USE: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_MEMORY. BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_DIRTY: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_PAGE, and distinguish dirty pages by buf_page_t::oldest_modification(). BUF_BLOCK_POOL_WATCH: Remove. Use BUF_BLOCK_NOT_USED instead. This state was only being used for buf_page_t that are in buf_pool.watch. buf_pool_t::watch[]: Remove pointer indirection. buf_page_t::in_flush_list: Remove. It was set if and only if buf_page_t::oldest_modification() is nonzero. buf_page_decrypt_after_read(), buf_corrupt_page_release(), buf_page_check_corrupt(): Change the const fil_space_t* parameter to const fil_node_t& so that we can report the correct file name. buf_page_monitor(): Declare as an ATTRIBUTE_COLD global function. buf_page_io_complete(): Split to buf_page_read_complete() and buf_page_write_complete(). buf_dblwr_t::in_use: Remove. buf_dblwr_t::buf_block_array: Add IORequest::flush_t. buf_dblwr_sync_datafiles(): Remove. It was a useless wrapper of os_aio_wait_until_no_pending_writes(). buf_flush_write_complete(): Declare static, not global. Add the parameter IORequest::flush_t. buf_flush_freed_page(): Simplify the code. recv_sys_t::flush_lru: Renamed from flush_type and changed to bool. fil_read(), fil_write(): Replaced with direct use of fil_io(). fil_buffering_disabled(): Remove. Check srv_file_flush_method directly. fil_mutex_enter_and_prepare_for_io(): Return the resolved fil_space_t* to avoid a duplicated lookup in the caller. fil_report_invalid_page_access(): Clean up the parameters. fil_io(): Return fil_io_t, which comprises fil_node_t and error code. Always invoke fil_space_t::acquire_for_io() and let either the sync=true caller or fil_aio_callback() invoke fil_space_t::release_for_io(). fil_aio_callback(): Rewrite to replace buf_page_io_complete(). fil_check_pending_operations(): Remove a parameter, and remove some redundant lookups. fil_node_close_to_free(): Wait for n_pending==0. Because we no longer do an extra lookup of the tablespace between fil_io() and the completion of the operation, we must give fil_node_t::complete_io() a chance to decrement the counter. fil_close_tablespace(): Remove unused parameter trx, and document that this is only invoked during the error handling of IMPORT TABLESPACE. row_import_discard_changes(): Merged with the only caller, row_import_cleanup(). Do not lock up the data dictionary while invoking fil_close_tablespace(). logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown(): Do not invoke fil_close_all_files(), to avoid a !needs_flush assertion failure on fil_node_t::close(). innodb_shutdown(): Invoke os_aio_free() before fil_close_all_files(). fil_close_all_files(): Invoke fil_flush_file_spaces() to ensure proper durability. thread_pool::unbind(): Fix a crash that would occur on Windows after srv_thread_pool->disable_aio() and os_file_close().

{
MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

MDEV-15053 Reduce buf_pool_t::mutex contention User-visible changes: The INFORMATION_SCHEMA views INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE and INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE_LRU will report a dummy value FLUSH_TYPE=0 and will no longer report the PAGE_STATE value READY_FOR_USE. We will remove some fields from buf_page_t and move much code to member functions of buf_pool_t and buf_page_t, so that the access rules of data members can be enforced consistently. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.LRU will remain covered by buf_pool.mutex. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.page_hash will remain covered by both buf_pool.mutex and the buf_pool.page_hash X-latch. After this fix, buf_pool.page_hash lookups can entirely avoid acquiring buf_pool.mutex, only relying on buf_pool.hash_lock_get() S-latch. Similarly, buf_flush_check_neighbors() can will rely solely on buf_pool.mutex, no buf_pool.page_hash latch at all. The buf_pool.mutex is rather contended in I/O heavy benchmarks, especially when the workload does not fit in the buffer pool. The first attempt to alleviate the contention was the buf_pool_t::mutex split in commit 4ed7082eefe56b3e97e0edefb3df76dd7ef5e858 which introduced buf_block_t::mutex, which we are now removing. Later, multiple instances of buf_pool_t were introduced in commit c18084f71b02ea707c6461353e6cfc15d7553bc6 and recently removed by us in commit 1a6f708ec594ac0ae2dd30db926ab07b100fa24b (MDEV-15058). UNIV_BUF_DEBUG: Remove. This option to enable some buffer pool related debugging in otherwise non-debug builds has not been used for years. Instead, we have been using UNIV_DEBUG, which is enabled in CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug. buf_block_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::zip_mutex: Remove. We can mainly rely on std::atomic and the buf_pool.page_hash latches, and in some cases depend on buf_pool.mutex or buf_pool.flush_list_mutex just like before. We must always release buf_block_t::lock before invoking unfix() or io_unfix(), to prevent a glitch where a block that was added to the buf_pool.free list would apper X-latched. See commit c5883debd6ef440a037011c11873b396923e93c5 how this glitch was finally caught in a debug environment. We move some buf_pool_t::page_hash specific code from the ha and hash modules to buf_pool, for improved readability. buf_pool_t::close(): Assert that all blocks are clean, except on aborted startup or crash-like shutdown. buf_pool_t::validate(): No longer attempt to validate n_flush[] against the number of BUF_IO_WRITE fixed blocks, because buf_page_t::flush_type no longer exists. buf_pool_t::watch_set(): Replaces buf_pool_watch_set(). Reduce mutex contention by separating the buf_pool.watch[] allocation and the insert into buf_pool.page_hash. buf_pool_t::page_hash_lock<bool exclusive>(): Acquire a buf_pool.page_hash latch. Replaces and extends buf_page_hash_lock_s_confirm() and buf_page_hash_lock_x_confirm(). buf_pool_t::READ_AHEAD_PAGES: Renamed from BUF_READ_AHEAD_PAGES. buf_pool_t::curr_size, old_size, read_ahead_area, n_pend_reads: Use Atomic_counter. buf_pool_t::running_out(): Replaces buf_LRU_buf_pool_running_out(). buf_pool_t::LRU_remove(): Remove a block from the LRU list and return its predecessor. Incorporates buf_LRU_adjust_hp(), which was removed. buf_page_get_gen(): Remove a redundant call of fsp_is_system_temporary(), for mode == BUF_GET_IF_IN_POOL_OR_WATCH, which is only used by BTR_DELETE_OP (purge), which is never invoked on temporary tables. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Avoid redundant assignments. buf_LRU_free_from_unzip_LRU_list(): Simplify the loop condition. buf_LRU_free_page(): Clarify the function comment. buf_flush_check_neighbor(), buf_flush_check_neighbors(): Rewrite the construction of the page hash range. We will hold the buf_pool.mutex for up to buf_pool.read_ahead_area (at most 64) consecutive lookups of buf_pool.page_hash. buf_flush_page_and_try_neighbors(): Remove. Merge to its only callers, and remove redundant operations in buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(). buf_read_ahead_random(), buf_read_ahead_linear(): Rewrite. Do not acquire buf_pool.mutex, and iterate directly with page_id_t. ut_2_power_up(): Remove. my_round_up_to_next_power() is inlined and avoids any loops. fil_page_get_prev(), fil_page_get_next(), fil_addr_is_null(): Remove. buf_flush_page(): Add a fil_space_t* parameter. Minimize the buf_pool.mutex hold time. buf_pool.n_flush[] is no longer updated atomically with the io_fix, and we will protect most buf_block_t fields with buf_block_t::lock. The function buf_flush_write_block_low() is removed and merged here. buf_page_init_for_read(): Use static linkage. Initialize the newly allocated block and acquire the exclusive buf_block_t::lock while not holding any mutex. IORequest::IORequest(): Remove the body. We only need to invoke set_punch_hole() in buf_flush_page() and nowhere else. buf_page_t::flush_type: Remove. Replaced by IORequest::flush_type. This field is only used during a fil_io() call. That function already takes IORequest as a parameter, so we had better introduce for the rarely changing field. buf_block_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init(). buf_page_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init_low(). buf_block_t::initialise(): Initialise many fields, but keep the buf_page_t::state(). Both buf_pool_t::validate() and buf_page_optimistic_get() requires that buf_page_t::in_file() be protected atomically with buf_page_t::in_page_hash and buf_page_t::in_LRU_list. buf_page_optimistic_get(): Now that buf_block_t::mutex no longer exists, we must check buf_page_t::io_fix() after acquiring the buf_pool.page_hash lock, to detect whether buf_page_init_for_read() has been initiated. We will also check the io_fix() before acquiring hash_lock in order to avoid unnecessary computation. The field buf_block_t::modify_clock (protected by buf_block_t::lock) allows buf_page_optimistic_get() to validate the block. buf_page_t::real_size: Remove. It was only used while flushing pages of page_compressed tables. buf_page_encrypt(): Add an output parameter that allows us ot eliminate buf_page_t::real_size. Replace a condition with debug assertion. buf_page_should_punch_hole(): Remove. buf_dblwr_t::add_to_batch(): Replaces buf_dblwr_add_to_batch(). Add the parameter size (to replace buf_page_t::real_size). buf_dblwr_t::write_single_page(): Replaces buf_dblwr_write_single_page(). Add the parameter size (to replace buf_page_t::real_size). fil_system_t::detach(): Replaces fil_space_detach(). Ensure that fil_validate() will not be violated even if fil_system.mutex is released and reacquired. fil_node_t::complete_io(): Renamed from fil_node_complete_io(). fil_node_t::close_to_free(): Replaces fil_node_close_to_free(). Avoid invoking fil_node_t::close() because fil_system.n_open has already been decremented in fil_space_t::detach(). BUF_BLOCK_READY_FOR_USE: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_MEMORY. BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_DIRTY: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_PAGE, and distinguish dirty pages by buf_page_t::oldest_modification(). BUF_BLOCK_POOL_WATCH: Remove. Use BUF_BLOCK_NOT_USED instead. This state was only being used for buf_page_t that are in buf_pool.watch. buf_pool_t::watch[]: Remove pointer indirection. buf_page_t::in_flush_list: Remove. It was set if and only if buf_page_t::oldest_modification() is nonzero. buf_page_decrypt_after_read(), buf_corrupt_page_release(), buf_page_check_corrupt(): Change the const fil_space_t* parameter to const fil_node_t& so that we can report the correct file name. buf_page_monitor(): Declare as an ATTRIBUTE_COLD global function. buf_page_io_complete(): Split to buf_page_read_complete() and buf_page_write_complete(). buf_dblwr_t::in_use: Remove. buf_dblwr_t::buf_block_array: Add IORequest::flush_t. buf_dblwr_sync_datafiles(): Remove. It was a useless wrapper of os_aio_wait_until_no_pending_writes(). buf_flush_write_complete(): Declare static, not global. Add the parameter IORequest::flush_t. buf_flush_freed_page(): Simplify the code. recv_sys_t::flush_lru: Renamed from flush_type and changed to bool. fil_read(), fil_write(): Replaced with direct use of fil_io(). fil_buffering_disabled(): Remove. Check srv_file_flush_method directly. fil_mutex_enter_and_prepare_for_io(): Return the resolved fil_space_t* to avoid a duplicated lookup in the caller. fil_report_invalid_page_access(): Clean up the parameters. fil_io(): Return fil_io_t, which comprises fil_node_t and error code. Always invoke fil_space_t::acquire_for_io() and let either the sync=true caller or fil_aio_callback() invoke fil_space_t::release_for_io(). fil_aio_callback(): Rewrite to replace buf_page_io_complete(). fil_check_pending_operations(): Remove a parameter, and remove some redundant lookups. fil_node_close_to_free(): Wait for n_pending==0. Because we no longer do an extra lookup of the tablespace between fil_io() and the completion of the operation, we must give fil_node_t::complete_io() a chance to decrement the counter. fil_close_tablespace(): Remove unused parameter trx, and document that this is only invoked during the error handling of IMPORT TABLESPACE. row_import_discard_changes(): Merged with the only caller, row_import_cleanup(). Do not lock up the data dictionary while invoking fil_close_tablespace(). logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown(): Do not invoke fil_close_all_files(), to avoid a !needs_flush assertion failure on fil_node_t::close(). innodb_shutdown(): Invoke os_aio_free() before fil_close_all_files(). fil_close_all_files(): Invoke fil_flush_file_spaces() to ensure proper durability. thread_pool::unbind(): Fix a crash that would occur on Windows after srv_thread_pool->disable_aio() and os_file_close(). This fix was submitted by Vladislav Vaintroub. Thanks to Matthias Leich and Axel Schwenke for extensive testing, Vladislav Vaintroub for helpful comments, and Eugene Kosov for a review.

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions.

We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface.

If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

MDEV-18644: Support full_crc32 for page_compressed This is a follow-up task to MDEV-12026, which introduced innodb_checksum_algorithm=full_crc32 and a simpler page format. MDEV-12026 did not enable full_crc32 for page_compressed tables, which we will be doing now. This is joint work with Thirunarayanan Balathandayuthapani. For innodb_checksum_algorithm=full_crc32 we change the page_compressed format as follows: FIL_PAGE_TYPE: The most significant bit will be set to indicate page_compressed format. The least significant bits will contain the compressed page size, rounded up to a multiple of 256 bytes. The checksum will be stored in the last 4 bytes of the page (whether it is the full page or a page_compressed page whose size is determined by FIL_PAGE_TYPE), covering all preceding bytes of the page. If encryption is used, then the page will be encrypted between compression and computing the checksum. For page_compressed, FIL_PAGE_LSN will not be repeated at the end of the page. FSP_SPACE_FLAGS (already implemented as part of MDEV-12026): We will store the innodb_compression_algorithm that may be used to compress pages. Previously, the choice of algorithm was written to each compressed data page separately, and one would be unable to know in advance which compression algorithm(s) are used. fil_space_t::full_crc32_page_compressed_len(): Determine if the page_compressed algorithm of the tablespace needs to know the exact length of the compressed data. If yes, we will reserve and write an extra byte for this right before the checksum. buf_page_is_compressed(): Determine if a page uses page_compressed (in any innodb_checksum_algorithm). fil_page_decompress(): Pass also fil_space_t::flags so that the format can be determined. buf_page_is_zeroes(): Check if a page is full of zero bytes. buf_page_full_crc32_is_corrupted(): Renamed from buf_encrypted_full_crc32_page_is_corrupted(). For full_crc32, we always simply validate the checksum to the page contents, while the physical page size is explicitly specified by an unencrypted part of the page header. buf_page_full_crc32_size(): Determine the size of a full_crc32 page. buf_dblwr_check_page_lsn(): Make this a debug-only function, because it involves potentially costly lookups of fil_space_t. create_table_info_t::check_table_options(), ha_innobase::check_if_supported_inplace_alter(): Do allow the creation of SPATIAL INDEX with full_crc32 also when page_compressed is used. commit_cache_norebuild(): Preserve the compression algorithm when updating the page_compression_level. dict_tf_to_fsp_flags(): Set the flags for page compression algorithm. FIXME: Maybe there should be a table option page_compression_algorithm and a session variable to back it?

MDEV-15053 Reduce buf_pool_t::mutex contention User-visible changes: The INFORMATION_SCHEMA views INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE and INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE_LRU will report a dummy value FLUSH_TYPE=0 and will no longer report the PAGE_STATE value READY_FOR_USE. We will remove some fields from buf_page_t and move much code to member functions of buf_pool_t and buf_page_t, so that the access rules of data members can be enforced consistently. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.LRU will remain covered by buf_pool.mutex. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.page_hash will remain covered by both buf_pool.mutex and the buf_pool.page_hash X-latch. After this fix, buf_pool.page_hash lookups can entirely avoid acquiring buf_pool.mutex, only relying on buf_pool.hash_lock_get() S-latch. Similarly, buf_flush_check_neighbors() can will rely solely on buf_pool.mutex, no buf_pool.page_hash latch at all. The buf_pool.mutex is rather contended in I/O heavy benchmarks, especially when the workload does not fit in the buffer pool. The first attempt to alleviate the contention was the buf_pool_t::mutex split in commit 4ed7082eefe56b3e97e0edefb3df76dd7ef5e858 which introduced buf_block_t::mutex, which we are now removing. Later, multiple instances of buf_pool_t were introduced in commit c18084f71b02ea707c6461353e6cfc15d7553bc6 and recently removed by us in commit 1a6f708ec594ac0ae2dd30db926ab07b100fa24b (MDEV-15058). UNIV_BUF_DEBUG: Remove. This option to enable some buffer pool related debugging in otherwise non-debug builds has not been used for years. Instead, we have been using UNIV_DEBUG, which is enabled in CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug. buf_block_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::zip_mutex: Remove. We can mainly rely on std::atomic and the buf_pool.page_hash latches, and in some cases depend on buf_pool.mutex or buf_pool.flush_list_mutex just like before. We must always release buf_block_t::lock before invoking unfix() or io_unfix(), to prevent a glitch where a block that was added to the buf_pool.free list would apper X-latched. See commit c5883debd6ef440a037011c11873b396923e93c5 how this glitch was finally caught in a debug environment. We move some buf_pool_t::page_hash specific code from the ha and hash modules to buf_pool, for improved readability. buf_pool_t::close(): Assert that all blocks are clean, except on aborted startup or crash-like shutdown. buf_pool_t::validate(): No longer attempt to validate n_flush[] against the number of BUF_IO_WRITE fixed blocks, because buf_page_t::flush_type no longer exists. buf_pool_t::watch_set(): Replaces buf_pool_watch_set(). Reduce mutex contention by separating the buf_pool.watch[] allocation and the insert into buf_pool.page_hash. buf_pool_t::page_hash_lock<bool exclusive>(): Acquire a buf_pool.page_hash latch. Replaces and extends buf_page_hash_lock_s_confirm() and buf_page_hash_lock_x_confirm(). buf_pool_t::READ_AHEAD_PAGES: Renamed from BUF_READ_AHEAD_PAGES. buf_pool_t::curr_size, old_size, read_ahead_area, n_pend_reads: Use Atomic_counter. buf_pool_t::running_out(): Replaces buf_LRU_buf_pool_running_out(). buf_pool_t::LRU_remove(): Remove a block from the LRU list and return its predecessor. Incorporates buf_LRU_adjust_hp(), which was removed. buf_page_get_gen(): Remove a redundant call of fsp_is_system_temporary(), for mode == BUF_GET_IF_IN_POOL_OR_WATCH, which is only used by BTR_DELETE_OP (purge), which is never invoked on temporary tables. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Avoid redundant assignments. buf_LRU_free_from_unzip_LRU_list(): Simplify the loop condition. buf_LRU_free_page(): Clarify the function comment. buf_flush_check_neighbor(), buf_flush_check_neighbors(): Rewrite the construction of the page hash range. We will hold the buf_pool.mutex for up to buf_pool.read_ahead_area (at most 64) consecutive lookups of buf_pool.page_hash. buf_flush_page_and_try_neighbors(): Remove. Merge to its only callers, and remove redundant operations in buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(). buf_read_ahead_random(), buf_read_ahead_linear(): Rewrite. Do not acquire buf_pool.mutex, and iterate directly with page_id_t. ut_2_power_up(): Remove. my_round_up_to_next_power() is inlined and avoids any loops. fil_page_get_prev(), fil_page_get_next(), fil_addr_is_null(): Remove. buf_flush_page(): Add a fil_space_t* parameter. Minimize the buf_pool.mutex hold time. buf_pool.n_flush[] is no longer updated atomically with the io_fix, and we will protect most buf_block_t fields with buf_block_t::lock. The function buf_flush_write_block_low() is removed and merged here. buf_page_init_for_read(): Use static linkage. Initialize the newly allocated block and acquire the exclusive buf_block_t::lock while not holding any mutex. IORequest::IORequest(): Remove the body. We only need to invoke set_punch_hole() in buf_flush_page() and nowhere else. buf_page_t::flush_type: Remove. Replaced by IORequest::flush_type. This field is only used during a fil_io() call. That function already takes IORequest as a parameter, so we had better introduce for the rarely changing field. buf_block_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init(). buf_page_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init_low(). buf_block_t::initialise(): Initialise many fields, but keep the buf_page_t::state(). Both buf_pool_t::validate() and buf_page_optimistic_get() requires that buf_page_t::in_file() be protected atomically with buf_page_t::in_page_hash and buf_page_t::in_LRU_list. buf_page_optimistic_get(): Now that buf_block_t::mutex no longer exists, we must check buf_page_t::io_fix() after acquiring the buf_pool.page_hash lock, to detect whether buf_page_init_for_read() has been initiated. We will also check the io_fix() before acquiring hash_lock in order to avoid unnecessary computation. The field buf_block_t::modify_clock (protected by buf_block_t::lock) allows buf_page_optimistic_get() to validate the block. buf_page_t::real_size: Remove. It was only used while flushing pages of page_compressed tables. buf_page_encrypt(): Add an output parameter that allows us ot eliminate buf_page_t::real_size. Replace a condition with debug assertion. buf_page_should_punch_hole(): Remove. buf_dblwr_t::add_to_batch(): Replaces buf_dblwr_add_to_batch(). Add the parameter size (to replace buf_page_t::real_size). buf_dblwr_t::write_single_page(): Replaces buf_dblwr_write_single_page(). Add the parameter size (to replace buf_page_t::real_size). fil_system_t::detach(): Replaces fil_space_detach(). Ensure that fil_validate() will not be violated even if fil_system.mutex is released and reacquired. fil_node_t::complete_io(): Renamed from fil_node_complete_io(). fil_node_t::close_to_free(): Replaces fil_node_close_to_free(). Avoid invoking fil_node_t::close() because fil_system.n_open has already been decremented in fil_space_t::detach(). BUF_BLOCK_READY_FOR_USE: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_MEMORY. BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_DIRTY: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_PAGE, and distinguish dirty pages by buf_page_t::oldest_modification(). BUF_BLOCK_POOL_WATCH: Remove. Use BUF_BLOCK_NOT_USED instead. This state was only being used for buf_page_t that are in buf_pool.watch. buf_pool_t::watch[]: Remove pointer indirection. buf_page_t::in_flush_list: Remove. It was set if and only if buf_page_t::oldest_modification() is nonzero. buf_page_decrypt_after_read(), buf_corrupt_page_release(), buf_page_check_corrupt(): Change the const fil_space_t* parameter to const fil_node_t& so that we can report the correct file name. buf_page_monitor(): Declare as an ATTRIBUTE_COLD global function. buf_page_io_complete(): Split to buf_page_read_complete() and buf_page_write_complete(). buf_dblwr_t::in_use: Remove. buf_dblwr_t::buf_block_array: Add IORequest::flush_t. buf_dblwr_sync_datafiles(): Remove. It was a useless wrapper of os_aio_wait_until_no_pending_writes(). buf_flush_write_complete(): Declare static, not global. Add the parameter IORequest::flush_t. buf_flush_freed_page(): Simplify the code. recv_sys_t::flush_lru: Renamed from flush_type and changed to bool. fil_read(), fil_write(): Replaced with direct use of fil_io(). fil_buffering_disabled(): Remove. Check srv_file_flush_method directly. fil_mutex_enter_and_prepare_for_io(): Return the resolved fil_space_t* to avoid a duplicated lookup in the caller. fil_report_invalid_page_access(): Clean up the parameters. fil_io(): Return fil_io_t, which comprises fil_node_t and error code. Always invoke fil_space_t::acquire_for_io() and let either the sync=true caller or fil_aio_callback() invoke fil_space_t::release_for_io(). fil_aio_callback(): Rewrite to replace buf_page_io_complete(). fil_check_pending_operations(): Remove a parameter, and remove some redundant lookups. fil_node_close_to_free(): Wait for n_pending==0. Because we no longer do an extra lookup of the tablespace between fil_io() and the completion of the operation, we must give fil_node_t::complete_io() a chance to decrement the counter. fil_close_tablespace(): Remove unused parameter trx, and document that this is only invoked during the error handling of IMPORT TABLESPACE. row_import_discard_changes(): Merged with the only caller, row_import_cleanup(). Do not lock up the data dictionary while invoking fil_close_tablespace(). logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown(): Do not invoke fil_close_all_files(), to avoid a !needs_flush assertion failure on fil_node_t::close(). innodb_shutdown(): Invoke os_aio_free() before fil_close_all_files(). fil_close_all_files(): Invoke fil_flush_file_spaces() to ensure proper durability. thread_pool::unbind(): Fix a crash that would occur on Windows after srv_thread_pool->disable_aio() and os_file_close(). This fix was submitted by Vladislav Vaintroub. Thanks to Matthias Leich and Axel Schwenke for extensive testing, Vladislav Vaintroub for helpful comments, and Eugene Kosov for a review.

MDEV-15053 Reduce buf_pool_t::mutex contention User-visible changes: The INFORMATION_SCHEMA views INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE and INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE_LRU will report a dummy value FLUSH_TYPE=0 and will no longer report the PAGE_STATE value READY_FOR_USE. We will remove some fields from buf_page_t and move much code to member functions of buf_pool_t and buf_page_t, so that the access rules of data members can be enforced consistently. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.LRU will remain covered by buf_pool.mutex. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.page_hash will remain covered by both buf_pool.mutex and the buf_pool.page_hash X-latch. After this fix, buf_pool.page_hash lookups can entirely avoid acquiring buf_pool.mutex, only relying on buf_pool.hash_lock_get() S-latch. Similarly, buf_flush_check_neighbors() can will rely solely on buf_pool.mutex, no buf_pool.page_hash latch at all. The buf_pool.mutex is rather contended in I/O heavy benchmarks, especially when the workload does not fit in the buffer pool. The first attempt to alleviate the contention was the buf_pool_t::mutex split in commit 4ed7082eefe56b3e97e0edefb3df76dd7ef5e858 which introduced buf_block_t::mutex, which we are now removing. Later, multiple instances of buf_pool_t were introduced in commit c18084f71b02ea707c6461353e6cfc15d7553bc6 and recently removed by us in commit 1a6f708ec594ac0ae2dd30db926ab07b100fa24b (MDEV-15058). UNIV_BUF_DEBUG: Remove. This option to enable some buffer pool related debugging in otherwise non-debug builds has not been used for years. Instead, we have been using UNIV_DEBUG, which is enabled in CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug. buf_block_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::zip_mutex: Remove. We can mainly rely on std::atomic and the buf_pool.page_hash latches, and in some cases depend on buf_pool.mutex or buf_pool.flush_list_mutex just like before. We must always release buf_block_t::lock before invoking unfix() or io_unfix(), to prevent a glitch where a block that was added to the buf_pool.free list would apper X-latched. See commit c5883debd6ef440a037011c11873b396923e93c5 how this glitch was finally caught in a debug environment. We move some buf_pool_t::page_hash specific code from the ha and hash modules to buf_pool, for improved readability. buf_pool_t::close(): Assert that all blocks are clean, except on aborted startup or crash-like shutdown. buf_pool_t::validate(): No longer attempt to validate n_flush[] against the number of BUF_IO_WRITE fixed blocks, because buf_page_t::flush_type no longer exists. buf_pool_t::watch_set(): Replaces buf_pool_watch_set(). Reduce mutex contention by separating the buf_pool.watch[] allocation and the insert into buf_pool.page_hash. buf_pool_t::page_hash_lock<bool exclusive>(): Acquire a buf_pool.page_hash latch. Replaces and extends buf_page_hash_lock_s_confirm() and buf_page_hash_lock_x_confirm(). buf_pool_t::READ_AHEAD_PAGES: Renamed from BUF_READ_AHEAD_PAGES. buf_pool_t::curr_size, old_size, read_ahead_area, n_pend_reads: Use Atomic_counter. buf_pool_t::running_out(): Replaces buf_LRU_buf_pool_running_out(). buf_pool_t::LRU_remove(): Remove a block from the LRU list and return its predecessor. Incorporates buf_LRU_adjust_hp(), which was removed. buf_page_get_gen(): Remove a redundant call of fsp_is_system_temporary(), for mode == BUF_GET_IF_IN_POOL_OR_WATCH, which is only used by BTR_DELETE_OP (purge), which is never invoked on temporary tables. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Avoid redundant assignments. buf_LRU_free_from_unzip_LRU_list(): Simplify the loop condition. buf_LRU_free_page(): Clarify the function comment. buf_flush_check_neighbor(), buf_flush_check_neighbors(): Rewrite the construction of the page hash range. We will hold the buf_pool.mutex for up to buf_pool.read_ahead_area (at most 64) consecutive lookups of buf_pool.page_hash. buf_flush_page_and_try_neighbors(): Remove. Merge to its only callers, and remove redundant operations in buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(). buf_read_ahead_random(), buf_read_ahead_linear(): Rewrite. Do not acquire buf_pool.mutex, and iterate directly with page_id_t. ut_2_power_up(): Remove. my_round_up_to_next_power() is inlined and avoids any loops. fil_page_get_prev(), fil_page_get_next(), fil_addr_is_null(): Remove. buf_flush_page(): Add a fil_space_t* parameter. Minimize the buf_pool.mutex hold time. buf_pool.n_flush[] is no longer updated atomically with the io_fix, and we will protect most buf_block_t fields with buf_block_t::lock. The function buf_flush_write_block_low() is removed and merged here. buf_page_init_for_read(): Use static linkage. Initialize the newly allocated block and acquire the exclusive buf_block_t::lock while not holding any mutex. IORequest::IORequest(): Remove the body. We only need to invoke set_punch_hole() in buf_flush_page() and nowhere else. buf_page_t::flush_type: Remove. Replaced by IORequest::flush_type. This field is only used during a fil_io() call. That function already takes IORequest as a parameter, so we had better introduce for the rarely changing field. buf_block_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init(). buf_page_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init_low(). buf_block_t::initialise(): Initialise many fields, but keep the buf_page_t::state(). Both buf_pool_t::validate() and buf_page_optimistic_get() requires that buf_page_t::in_file() be protected atomically with buf_page_t::in_page_hash and buf_page_t::in_LRU_list. buf_page_optimistic_get(): Now that buf_block_t::mutex no longer exists, we must check buf_page_t::io_fix() after acquiring the buf_pool.page_hash lock, to detect whether buf_page_init_for_read() has been initiated. We will also check the io_fix() before acquiring hash_lock in order to avoid unnecessary computation. The field buf_block_t::modify_clock (protected by buf_block_t::lock) allows buf_page_optimistic_get() to validate the block. buf_page_t::real_size: Remove. It was only used while flushing pages of page_compressed tables. buf_page_encrypt(): Add an output parameter that allows us ot eliminate buf_page_t::real_size. Replace a condition with debug assertion. buf_page_should_punch_hole(): Remove. buf_dblwr_t::add_to_batch(): Replaces buf_dblwr_add_to_batch(). Add the parameter size (to replace buf_page_t::real_size). buf_dblwr_t::write_single_page(): Replaces buf_dblwr_write_single_page(). Add the parameter size (to replace buf_page_t::real_size). fil_system_t::detach(): Replaces fil_space_detach(). Ensure that fil_validate() will not be violated even if fil_system.mutex is released and reacquired. fil_node_t::complete_io(): Renamed from fil_node_complete_io(). fil_node_t::close_to_free(): Replaces fil_node_close_to_free(). Avoid invoking fil_node_t::close() because fil_system.n_open has already been decremented in fil_space_t::detach(). BUF_BLOCK_READY_FOR_USE: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_MEMORY. BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_DIRTY: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_PAGE, and distinguish dirty pages by buf_page_t::oldest_modification(). BUF_BLOCK_POOL_WATCH: Remove. Use BUF_BLOCK_NOT_USED instead. This state was only being used for buf_page_t that are in buf_pool.watch. buf_pool_t::watch[]: Remove pointer indirection. buf_page_t::in_flush_list: Remove. It was set if and only if buf_page_t::oldest_modification() is nonzero. buf_page_decrypt_after_read(), buf_corrupt_page_release(), buf_page_check_corrupt(): Change the const fil_space_t* parameter to const fil_node_t& so that we can report the correct file name. buf_page_monitor(): Declare as an ATTRIBUTE_COLD global function. buf_page_io_complete(): Split to buf_page_read_complete() and buf_page_write_complete(). buf_dblwr_t::in_use: Remove. buf_dblwr_t::buf_block_array: Add IORequest::flush_t. buf_dblwr_sync_datafiles(): Remove. It was a useless wrapper of os_aio_wait_until_no_pending_writes(). buf_flush_write_complete(): Declare static, not global. Add the parameter IORequest::flush_t. buf_flush_freed_page(): Simplify the code. recv_sys_t::flush_lru: Renamed from flush_type and changed to bool. fil_read(), fil_write(): Replaced with direct use of fil_io(). fil_buffering_disabled(): Remove. Check srv_file_flush_method directly. fil_mutex_enter_and_prepare_for_io(): Return the resolved fil_space_t* to avoid a duplicated lookup in the caller. fil_report_invalid_page_access(): Clean up the parameters. fil_io(): Return fil_io_t, which comprises fil_node_t and error code. Always invoke fil_space_t::acquire_for_io() and let either the sync=true caller or fil_aio_callback() invoke fil_space_t::release_for_io(). fil_aio_callback(): Rewrite to replace buf_page_io_complete(). fil_check_pending_operations(): Remove a parameter, and remove some redundant lookups. fil_node_close_to_free(): Wait for n_pending==0. Because we no longer do an extra lookup of the tablespace between fil_io() and the completion of the operation, we must give fil_node_t::complete_io() a chance to decrement the counter. fil_close_tablespace(): Remove unused parameter trx, and document that this is only invoked during the error handling of IMPORT TABLESPACE. row_import_discard_changes(): Merged with the only caller, row_import_cleanup(). Do not lock up the data dictionary while invoking fil_close_tablespace(). logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown(): Do not invoke fil_close_all_files(), to avoid a !needs_flush assertion failure on fil_node_t::close(). innodb_shutdown(): Invoke os_aio_free() before fil_close_all_files(). fil_close_all_files(): Invoke fil_flush_file_spaces() to ensure proper durability. thread_pool::unbind(): Fix a crash that would occur on Windows after srv_thread_pool->disable_aio() and os_file_close().

static void buf_dblwr_check_page_lsn(const buf_page_t &b, const byte *page)
MDEV-18644: Support full_crc32 for page_compressed This is a follow-up task to MDEV-12026, which introduced innodb_checksum_algorithm=full_crc32 and a simpler page format. MDEV-12026 did not enable full_crc32 for page_compressed tables, which we will be doing now. This is joint work with Thirunarayanan Balathandayuthapani. For innodb_checksum_algorithm=full_crc32 we change the page_compressed format as follows: FIL_PAGE_TYPE: The most significant bit will be set to indicate page_compressed format. The least significant bits will contain the compressed page size, rounded up to a multiple of 256 bytes. The checksum will be stored in the last 4 bytes of the page (whether it is the full page or a page_compressed page whose size is determined by FIL_PAGE_TYPE), covering all preceding bytes of the page. If encryption is used, then the page will be encrypted between compression and computing the checksum. For page_compressed, FIL_PAGE_LSN will not be repeated at the end of the page. FSP_SPACE_FLAGS (already implemented as part of MDEV-12026): We will store the innodb_compression_algorithm that may be used to compress pages. Previously, the choice of algorithm was written to each compressed data page separately, and one would be unable to know in advance which compression algorithm(s) are used. fil_space_t::full_crc32_page_compressed_len(): Determine if the page_compressed algorithm of the tablespace needs to know the exact length of the compressed data. If yes, we will reserve and write an extra byte for this right before the checksum. buf_page_is_compressed(): Determine if a page uses page_compressed (in any innodb_checksum_algorithm). fil_page_decompress(): Pass also fil_space_t::flags so that the format can be determined. buf_page_is_zeroes(): Check if a page is full of zero bytes. buf_page_full_crc32_is_corrupted(): Renamed from buf_encrypted_full_crc32_page_is_corrupted(). For full_crc32, we always simply validate the checksum to the page contents, while the physical page size is explicitly specified by an unencrypted part of the page header. buf_page_full_crc32_size(): Determine the size of a full_crc32 page. buf_dblwr_check_page_lsn(): Make this a debug-only function, because it involves potentially costly lookups of fil_space_t. create_table_info_t::check_table_options(), ha_innobase::check_if_supported_inplace_alter(): Do allow the creation of SPATIAL INDEX with full_crc32 also when page_compressed is used. commit_cache_norebuild(): Preserve the compression algorithm when updating the page_compression_level. dict_tf_to_fsp_flags(): Set the flags for page compression algorithm. FIXME: Maybe there should be a table option page_compression_algorithm and a session variable to back it?

Replaces and extends buf_page_hash_lock_s_confirm() and buf_page_hash_lock_x_confirm(). buf_pool_t::READ_AHEAD_PAGES: Renamed from BUF_READ_AHEAD_PAGES. buf_pool_t::curr_size, old_size, read_ahead_area, n_pend_reads: Use Atomic_counter. buf_pool_t::running_out(): Replaces buf_LRU_buf_pool_running_out(). buf_pool_t::LRU_remove(): Remove a block from the LRU list and return its predecessor. Incorporates buf_LRU_adjust_hp(), which was removed. buf_page_get_gen(): Remove a redundant call of fsp_is_system_temporary(), for mode == BUF_GET_IF_IN_POOL_OR_WATCH, which is only used by BTR_DELETE_OP (purge), which is never invoked on temporary tables. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Avoid redundant assignments. buf_LRU_free_from_unzip_LRU_list(): Simplify the loop condition. buf_LRU_free_page(): Clarify the function comment. buf_flush_check_neighbor(), buf_flush_check_neighbors(): Rewrite the construction of the page hash range. We will hold the buf_pool.mutex for up to buf_pool.read_ahead_area (at most 64) consecutive lookups of buf_pool.page_hash. buf_flush_page_and_try_neighbors(): Remove. Merge to its only callers, and remove redundant operations in buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(). buf_read_ahead_random(), buf_read_ahead_linear(): Rewrite. Do not acquire buf_pool.mutex, and iterate directly with page_id_t. ut_2_power_up(): Remove. my_round_up_to_next_power() is inlined and avoids any loops. fil_page_get_prev(), fil_page_get_next(), fil_addr_is_null(): Remove. buf_flush_page(): Add a fil_space_t* parameter. Minimize the buf_pool.mutex hold time. buf_pool.n_flush[] is no longer updated atomically with the io_fix, and we will protect most buf_block_t fields with buf_block_t::lock. The function buf_flush_write_block_low() is removed and merged here. buf_page_init_for_read(): Use static linkage. Initialize the newly allocated block and acquire the exclusive buf_block_t::lock while not holding any mutex. IORequest::IORequest(): Remove the body. We only need to invoke set_punch_hole() in buf_flush_page() and nowhere else. buf_page_t::flush_type: Remove. Replaced by IORequest::flush_type. This field is only used during a fil_io() call. That function already takes IORequest as a parameter, so we had better introduce for the rarely changing field. buf_block_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init(). buf_page_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init_low(). buf_block_t::initialise(): Initialise many fields, but keep the buf_page_t::state(). Both buf_pool_t::validate() and buf_page_optimistic_get() requires that buf_page_t::in_file() be protected atomically with buf_page_t::in_page_hash and buf_page_t::in_LRU_list. buf_page_optimistic_get(): Now that buf_block_t::mutex no longer exists, we must check buf_page_t::io_fix() after acquiring the buf_pool.page_hash lock, to detect whether buf_page_init_for_read() has been initiated. We will also check the io_fix() before acquiring hash_lock in order to avoid unnecessary computation. The field buf_block_t::modify_clock (protected by buf_block_t::lock) allows buf_page_optimistic_get() to validate the block. buf_page_t::real_size: Remove. It was only used while flushing pages of page_compressed tables. buf_page_encrypt(): Add an output parameter that allows us ot eliminate buf_page_t::real_size. Replace a condition with debug assertion. buf_page_should_punch_hole(): Remove. buf_dblwr_t::add_to_batch(): Replaces buf_dblwr_add_to_batch(). Add the parameter size (to replace buf_page_t::real_size). buf_dblwr_t::write_single_page(): Replaces buf_dblwr_write_single_page(). Add the parameter size (to replace buf_page_t::real_size). fil_system_t::detach(): Replaces fil_space_detach(). Ensure that fil_validate() will not be violated even if fil_system.mutex is released and reacquired. fil_node_t::complete_io(): Renamed from fil_node_complete_io(). fil_node_t::close_to_free(): Replaces fil_node_close_to_free(). Avoid invoking fil_node_t::close() because fil_system.n_open has already been decremented in fil_space_t::detach(). BUF_BLOCK_READY_FOR_USE: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_MEMORY. BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_DIRTY: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_PAGE, and distinguish dirty pages by buf_page_t::oldest_modification(). BUF_BLOCK_POOL_WATCH: Remove. Use BUF_BLOCK_NOT_USED instead. This state was only being used for buf_page_t that are in buf_pool.watch. buf_pool_t::watch[]: Remove pointer indirection. buf_page_t::in_flush_list: Remove. It was set if and only if buf_page_t::oldest_modification() is nonzero. buf_page_decrypt_after_read(), buf_corrupt_page_release(), buf_page_check_corrupt(): Change the const fil_space_t* parameter to const fil_node_t& so that we can report the correct file name. buf_page_monitor(): Declare as an ATTRIBUTE_COLD global function. buf_page_io_complete(): Split to buf_page_read_complete() and buf_page_write_complete(). buf_dblwr_t::in_use: Remove. buf_dblwr_t::buf_block_array: Add IORequest::flush_t. buf_dblwr_sync_datafiles(): Remove. It was a useless wrapper of os_aio_wait_until_no_pending_writes(). buf_flush_write_complete(): Declare static, not global. Add the parameter IORequest::flush_t. buf_flush_freed_page(): Simplify the code. recv_sys_t::flush_lru: Renamed from flush_type and changed to bool. fil_read(), fil_write(): Replaced with direct use of fil_io(). fil_buffering_disabled(): Remove. Check srv_file_flush_method directly. fil_mutex_enter_and_prepare_for_io(): Return the resolved fil_space_t* to avoid a duplicated lookup in the caller. fil_report_invalid_page_access(): Clean up the parameters. fil_io(): Return fil_io_t, which comprises fil_node_t and error code. Always invoke fil_space_t::acquire_for_io() and let either the sync=true caller or fil_aio_callback() invoke fil_space_t::release_for_io(). fil_aio_callback(): Rewrite to replace buf_page_io_complete(). fil_check_pending_operations(): Remove a parameter, and remove some redundant lookups. fil_node_close_to_free(): Wait for n_pending==0. Because we no longer do an extra lookup of the tablespace between fil_io() and the completion of the operation, we must give fil_node_t::complete_io() a chance to decrement the counter. fil_close_tablespace(): Remove unused parameter trx, and document that this is only invoked during the error handling of IMPORT TABLESPACE. row_import_discard_changes(): Merged with the only caller, row_import_cleanup(). Do not lock up the data dictionary while invoking fil_close_tablespace(). logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown(): Do not invoke fil_close_all_files(), to avoid a !needs_flush assertion failure on fil_node_t::close(). innodb_shutdown(): Invoke os_aio_free() before fil_close_all_files(). fil_close_all_files(): Invoke fil_flush_file_spaces() to ensure proper durability. thread_pool::unbind(): Fix a crash that would occur on Windows after srv_thread_pool->disable_aio() and os_file_close(). This fix was submitted by Vladislav Vaintroub. Thanks to Matthias Leich and Axel Schwenke for extensive testing, Vladislav Vaintroub for helpful comments, and Eugene Kosov for a review.

MDEV-18644: Support full_crc32 for page_compressed This is a follow-up task to MDEV-12026, which introduced innodb_checksum_algorithm=full_crc32 and a simpler page format. MDEV-12026 did not enable full_crc32 for page_compressed tables, which we will be doing now. This is joint work with Thirunarayanan Balathandayuthapani. For innodb_checksum_algorithm=full_crc32 we change the page_compressed format as follows: FIL_PAGE_TYPE: The most significant bit will be set to indicate page_compressed format. The least significant bits will contain the compressed page size, rounded up to a multiple of 256 bytes. The checksum will be stored in the last 4 bytes of the page (whether it is the full page or a page_compressed page whose size is determined by FIL_PAGE_TYPE), covering all preceding bytes of the page. If encryption is used, then the page will be encrypted between compression and computing the checksum. For page_compressed, FIL_PAGE_LSN will not be repeated at the end of the page. FSP_SPACE_FLAGS (already implemented as part of MDEV-12026): We will store the innodb_compression_algorithm that may be used to compress pages. Previously, the choice of algorithm was written to each compressed data page separately, and one would be unable to know in advance which compression algorithm(s) are used. fil_space_t::full_crc32_page_compressed_len(): Determine if the page_compressed algorithm of the tablespace needs to know the exact length of the compressed data. If yes, we will reserve and write an extra byte for this right before the checksum. buf_page_is_compressed(): Determine if a page uses page_compressed (in any innodb_checksum_algorithm). fil_page_decompress(): Pass also fil_space_t::flags so that the format can be determined. buf_page_is_zeroes(): Check if a page is full of zero bytes. buf_page_full_crc32_is_corrupted(): Renamed from buf_encrypted_full_crc32_page_is_corrupted(). For full_crc32, we always simply validate the checksum to the page contents, while the physical page size is explicitly specified by an unencrypted part of the page header. buf_page_full_crc32_size(): Determine the size of a full_crc32 page. buf_dblwr_check_page_lsn(): Make this a debug-only function, because it involves potentially costly lookups of fil_space_t. create_table_info_t::check_table_options(), ha_innobase::check_if_supported_inplace_alter(): Do allow the creation of SPATIAL INDEX with full_crc32 also when page_compressed is used. commit_cache_norebuild(): Preserve the compression algorithm when updating the page_compression_level. dict_tf_to_fsp_flags(): Set the flags for page compression algorithm. FIXME: Maybe there should be a table option page_compression_algorithm and a session variable to back it?

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event.

{
MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n.

(The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks.

For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics.

The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const.

SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex.

Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages.

Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove.

MDEV-15053 Reduce buf_pool_t::mutex contention User-visible changes: The INFORMATION_SCHEMA views INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE and INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE_LRU will report a dummy value FLUSH_TYPE=0 and will no longer report the PAGE_STATE value READY_FOR_USE. We will remove some fields from buf_page_t and move much code to member functions of buf_pool_t and buf_page_t, so that the access rules of data members can be enforced consistently. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.LRU will remain covered by buf_pool.mutex. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.page_hash will remain covered by both buf_pool.mutex and the buf_pool.page_hash X-latch. After this fix, buf_pool.page_hash lookups can entirely avoid acquiring buf_pool.mutex, only relying on buf_pool.hash_lock_get() S-latch. Similarly, buf_flush_check_neighbors() can will rely solely on buf_pool.mutex, no buf_pool.page_hash latch at all. The buf_pool.mutex is rather contended in I/O heavy benchmarks, especially when the workload does not fit in the buffer pool. The first attempt to alleviate the contention was the buf_pool_t::mutex split in commit 4ed7082eefe56b3e97e0edefb3df76dd7ef5e858 which introduced buf_block_t::mutex, which we are now removing. Later, multiple instances of buf_pool_t were introduced in commit c18084f71b02ea707c6461353e6cfc15d7553bc6 and recently removed by us in commit 1a6f708ec594ac0ae2dd30db926ab07b100fa24b (MDEV-15058). UNIV_BUF_DEBUG: Remove. This option to enable some buffer pool related debugging in otherwise non-debug builds has not been used for years. Instead, we have been using UNIV_DEBUG, which is enabled in CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug. buf_block_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::zip_mutex: Remove. We can mainly rely on std::atomic and the buf_pool.page_hash latches, and in some cases depend on buf_pool.mutex or buf_pool.flush_list_mutex just like before. We must always release buf_block_t::lock before invoking unfix() or io_unfix(), to prevent a glitch where a block that was added to the buf_pool.free list would apper X-latched. See commit c5883debd6ef440a037011c11873b396923e93c5 how this glitch was finally caught in a debug environment. We move some buf_pool_t::page_hash specific code from the ha and hash modules to buf_pool, for improved readability. buf_pool_t::close(): Assert that all blocks are clean, except on aborted startup or crash-like shutdown. buf_pool_t::validate(): No longer attempt to validate n_flush[] against the number of BUF_IO_WRITE fixed blocks, because buf_page_t::flush_type no longer exists. buf_pool_t::watch_set(): Replaces buf_pool_watch_set(). Reduce mutex contention by separating the buf_pool.watch[] allocation and the insert into buf_pool.page_hash. buf_pool_t::page_hash_lock<bool exclusive>(): Acquire a buf_pool.page_hash latch.

Incorporates buf_LRU_adjust_hp(), which was removed. buf_page_get_gen(): Remove a redundant call of fsp_is_system_temporary(), for mode == BUF_GET_IF_IN_POOL_OR_WATCH, which is only used by BTR_DELETE_OP (purge), which is never invoked on temporary tables. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Avoid redundant assignments. buf_LRU_free_from_unzip_LRU_list(): Simplify the loop condition. buf_LRU_free_page(): Clarify the function comment. buf_flush_check_neighbor(), buf_flush_check_neighbors(): Rewrite the construction of the page hash range. We will hold the buf_pool.mutex for up to buf_pool.read_ahead_area (at most 64) consecutive lookups of buf_pool.page_hash. buf_flush_page_and_try_neighbors(): Remove. Merge to its only callers, and remove redundant operations in buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(). buf_read_ahead_random(), buf_read_ahead_linear(): Rewrite. Do not acquire buf_pool.mutex, and iterate directly with page_id_t. ut_2_power_up(): Remove. my_round_up_to_next_power() is inlined and avoids any loops. fil_page_get_prev(), fil_page_get_next(), fil_addr_is_null(): Remove. buf_flush_page(): Add a fil_space_t* parameter. Minimize the buf_pool.mutex hold time. buf_pool.n_flush[] is no longer updated atomically with the io_fix, and we will protect most buf_block_t fields with buf_block_t::lock. The function buf_flush_write_block_low() is removed and merged here. buf_page_init_for_read(): Use static linkage. Initialize the newly allocated block and acquire the exclusive buf_block_t::lock while not holding any mutex. IORequest::IORequest(): Remove the body. We only need to invoke set_punch_hole() in buf_flush_page() and nowhere else. buf_page_t::flush_type: Remove. Replaced by IORequest::flush_type. This field is only used during a fil_io() call. That function already takes IORequest as a parameter, so we had better introduce for the rarely changing field. buf_block_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init(). buf_page_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init_low(). buf_block_t::initialise(): Initialise many fields, but keep the buf_page_t::state(). Both buf_pool_t::validate() and buf_page_optimistic_get() requires that buf_page_t::in_file() be protected atomically with buf_page_t::in_page_hash and buf_page_t::in_LRU_list. buf_page_optimistic_get(): Now that buf_block_t::mutex no longer exists, we must check buf_page_t::io_fix() after acquiring the buf_pool.page_hash lock, to detect whether buf_page_init_for_read() has been initiated. We will also check the io_fix() before acquiring hash_lock in order to avoid unnecessary computation. The field buf_block_t::modify_clock (protected by buf_block_t::lock) allows buf_page_optimistic_get() to validate the block. buf_page_t::real_size: Remove.

BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_DIRTY: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_PAGE, and distinguish dirty pages by buf_page_t::oldest_modification(). BUF_BLOCK_POOL_WATCH: Remove. Use BUF_BLOCK_NOT_USED instead.

Always invoke fil_space_t::acquire_for_io() and let either the sync=true caller or fil_aio_callback() invoke fil_space_t::release_for_io(). fil_aio_callback(): Rewrite to replace buf_page_io_complete(). fil_check_pending_operations(): Remove a parameter, and remove some redundant lookups. fil_node_close_to_free(): Wait for n_pending==0. Because we no longer do an extra lookup of the tablespace between fil_io() and the completion of the operation, we must give fil_node_t::complete_io() a chance to decrement the counter. fil_close_tablespace(): Remove unused parameter trx, and document that this is only invoked during the error handling of IMPORT TABLESPACE. row_import_discard_changes(): Merged with the only caller, row_import_cleanup(). Do not lock up the data dictionary while invoking fil_close_tablespace(). logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown(): Do not invoke fil_close_all_files(), to avoid a !needs_flush assertion failure on fil_node_t::close(). innodb_shutdown(): Invoke os_aio_free() before fil_close_all_files(). fil_close_all_files(): Invoke fil_flush_file_spaces() to ensure proper durability. thread_pool::unbind(): Fix a crash that would occur on Windows after srv_thread_pool->disable_aio() and os_file_close(). This fix was submitted by Vladislav Vaintroub. Thanks to Matthias Leich and Axel Schwenke for extensive testing, Vladislav Vaintroub for helpful comments, and Eugene Kosov for a review.

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

Replaces and extends buf_page_hash_lock_s_confirm() and buf_page_hash_lock_x_confirm(). buf_pool_t::READ_AHEAD_PAGES: Renamed from BUF_READ_AHEAD_PAGES. buf_pool_t::curr_size, old_size, read_ahead_area, n_pend_reads: Use Atomic_counter. buf_pool_t::running_out(): Replaces buf_LRU_buf_pool_running_out(). buf_pool_t::LRU_remove(): Remove a block from the LRU list and return its predecessor. Incorporates buf_LRU_adjust_hp(), which was removed. buf_page_get_gen(): Remove a redundant call of fsp_is_system_temporary(), for mode == BUF_GET_IF_IN_POOL_OR_WATCH, which is only used by BTR_DELETE_OP (purge), which is never invoked on temporary tables. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Avoid redundant assignments. buf_LRU_free_from_unzip_LRU_list(): Simplify the loop condition. buf_LRU_free_page(): Clarify the function comment. buf_flush_check_neighbor(), buf_flush_check_neighbors(): Rewrite the construction of the page hash range. We will hold the buf_pool.mutex for up to buf_pool.read_ahead_area (at most 64) consecutive lookups of buf_pool.page_hash. buf_flush_page_and_try_neighbors(): Remove. Merge to its only callers, and remove redundant operations in buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(). buf_read_ahead_random(), buf_read_ahead_linear(): Rewrite. Do not acquire buf_pool.mutex, and iterate directly with page_id_t. ut_2_power_up(): Remove. my_round_up_to_next_power() is inlined and avoids any loops. fil_page_get_prev(), fil_page_get_next(), fil_addr_is_null(): Remove. buf_flush_page(): Add a fil_space_t* parameter. Minimize the buf_pool.mutex hold time. buf_pool.n_flush[] is no longer updated atomically with the io_fix, and we will protect most buf_block_t fields with buf_block_t::lock. The function buf_flush_write_block_low() is removed and merged here. buf_page_init_for_read(): Use static linkage. Initialize the newly allocated block and acquire the exclusive buf_block_t::lock while not holding any mutex. IORequest::IORequest(): Remove the body. We only need to invoke set_punch_hole() in buf_flush_page() and nowhere else. buf_page_t::flush_type: Remove. Replaced by IORequest::flush_type. This field is only used during a fil_io() call. That function already takes IORequest as a parameter, so we had better introduce for the rarely changing field. buf_block_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init(). buf_page_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init_low(). buf_block_t::initialise(): Initialise many fields, but keep the buf_page_t::state(). Both buf_pool_t::validate() and buf_page_optimistic_get() requires that buf_page_t::in_file() be protected atomically with buf_page_t::in_page_hash and buf_page_t::in_LRU_list. buf_page_optimistic_get(): Now that buf_block_t::mutex no longer exists, we must check buf_page_t::io_fix() after acquiring the buf_pool.page_hash lock, to detect whether buf_page_init_for_read() has been initiated. We will also check the io_fix() before acquiring hash_lock in order to avoid unnecessary computation. The field buf_block_t::modify_clock (protected by buf_block_t::lock) allows buf_page_optimistic_get() to validate the block. buf_page_t::real_size: Remove. It was only used while flushing pages of page_compressed tables. buf_page_encrypt(): Add an output parameter that allows us ot eliminate buf_page_t::real_size. Replace a condition with debug assertion. buf_page_should_punch_hole(): Remove. buf_dblwr_t::add_to_batch(): Replaces buf_dblwr_add_to_batch(). Add the parameter size (to replace buf_page_t::real_size). buf_dblwr_t::write_single_page(): Replaces buf_dblwr_write_single_page(). Add the parameter size (to replace buf_page_t::real_size). fil_system_t::detach(): Replaces fil_space_detach(). Ensure that fil_validate() will not be violated even if fil_system.mutex is released and reacquired. fil_node_t::complete_io(): Renamed from fil_node_complete_io(). fil_node_t::close_to_free(): Replaces fil_node_close_to_free(). Avoid invoking fil_node_t::close() because fil_system.n_open has already been decremented in fil_space_t::detach(). BUF_BLOCK_READY_FOR_USE: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_MEMORY. BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_DIRTY: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_PAGE, and distinguish dirty pages by buf_page_t::oldest_modification(). BUF_BLOCK_POOL_WATCH: Remove. Use BUF_BLOCK_NOT_USED instead. This state was only being used for buf_page_t that are in buf_pool.watch. buf_pool_t::watch[]: Remove pointer indirection. buf_page_t::in_flush_list: Remove. It was set if and only if buf_page_t::oldest_modification() is nonzero. buf_page_decrypt_after_read(), buf_corrupt_page_release(), buf_page_check_corrupt(): Change the const fil_space_t* parameter to const fil_node_t& so that we can report the correct file name. buf_page_monitor(): Declare as an ATTRIBUTE_COLD global function. buf_page_io_complete(): Split to buf_page_read_complete() and buf_page_write_complete(). buf_dblwr_t::in_use: Remove. buf_dblwr_t::buf_block_array: Add IORequest::flush_t. buf_dblwr_sync_datafiles(): Remove. It was a useless wrapper of os_aio_wait_until_no_pending_writes(). buf_flush_write_complete(): Declare static, not global. Add the parameter IORequest::flush_t. buf_flush_freed_page(): Simplify the code. recv_sys_t::flush_lru: Renamed from flush_type and changed to bool. fil_read(), fil_write(): Replaced with direct use of fil_io(). fil_buffering_disabled(): Remove. Check srv_file_flush_method directly. fil_mutex_enter_and_prepare_for_io(): Return the resolved fil_space_t* to avoid a duplicated lookup in the caller. fil_report_invalid_page_access(): Clean up the parameters. fil_io(): Return fil_io_t, which comprises fil_node_t and error code. Always invoke fil_space_t::acquire_for_io() and let either the sync=true caller or fil_aio_callback() invoke fil_space_t::release_for_io(). fil_aio_callback(): Rewrite to replace buf_page_io_complete(). fil_check_pending_operations(): Remove a parameter, and remove some redundant lookups. fil_node_close_to_free(): Wait for n_pending==0. Because we no longer do an extra lookup of the tablespace between fil_io() and the completion of the operation, we must give fil_node_t::complete_io() a chance to decrement the counter. fil_close_tablespace(): Remove unused parameter trx, and document that this is only invoked during the error handling of IMPORT TABLESPACE. row_import_discard_changes(): Merged with the only caller, row_import_cleanup(). Do not lock up the data dictionary while invoking fil_close_tablespace(). logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown(): Do not invoke fil_close_all_files(), to avoid a !needs_flush assertion failure on fil_node_t::close(). innodb_shutdown(): Invoke os_aio_free() before fil_close_all_files(). fil_close_all_files(): Invoke fil_flush_file_spaces() to ensure proper durability. thread_pool::unbind(): Fix a crash that would occur on Windows after srv_thread_pool->disable_aio() and os_file_close(). This fix was submitted by Vladislav Vaintroub. Thanks to Matthias Leich and Axel Schwenke for extensive testing, Vladislav Vaintroub for helpful comments, and Eugene Kosov for a review.

MDEV-15053 Reduce buf_pool_t::mutex contention User-visible changes: The INFORMATION_SCHEMA views INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE and INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE_LRU will report a dummy value FLUSH_TYPE=0 and will no longer report the PAGE_STATE value READY_FOR_USE. We will remove some fields from buf_page_t and move much code to member functions of buf_pool_t and buf_page_t, so that the access rules of data members can be enforced consistently. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.LRU will remain covered by buf_pool.mutex. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.page_hash will remain covered by both buf_pool.mutex and the buf_pool.page_hash X-latch. After this fix, buf_pool.page_hash lookups can entirely avoid acquiring buf_pool.mutex, only relying on buf_pool.hash_lock_get() S-latch. Similarly, buf_flush_check_neighbors() can will rely solely on buf_pool.mutex, no buf_pool.page_hash latch at all. The buf_pool.mutex is rather contended in I/O heavy benchmarks, especially when the workload does not fit in the buffer pool. The first attempt to alleviate the contention was the buf_pool_t::mutex split in commit 4ed7082eefe56b3e97e0edefb3df76dd7ef5e858 which introduced buf_block_t::mutex, which we are now removing. Later, multiple instances of buf_pool_t were introduced in commit c18084f71b02ea707c6461353e6cfc15d7553bc6 and recently removed by us in commit 1a6f708ec594ac0ae2dd30db926ab07b100fa24b (MDEV-15058). UNIV_BUF_DEBUG: Remove. This option to enable some buffer pool related debugging in otherwise non-debug builds has not been used for years. Instead, we have been using UNIV_DEBUG, which is enabled in CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug. buf_block_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::zip_mutex: Remove. We can mainly rely on std::atomic and the buf_pool.page_hash latches, and in some cases depend on buf_pool.mutex or buf_pool.flush_list_mutex just like before. We must always release buf_block_t::lock before invoking unfix() or io_unfix(), to prevent a glitch where a block that was added to the buf_pool.free list would apper X-latched. See commit c5883debd6ef440a037011c11873b396923e93c5 how this glitch was finally caught in a debug environment.

Because we no longer do an extra lookup of the tablespace between fil_io() and the completion of the operation, we must give fil_node_t::complete_io() a chance to decrement the counter. fil_close_tablespace(): Remove unused parameter trx, and document that this is only invoked during the error handling of IMPORT TABLESPACE. row_import_discard_changes(): Merged with the only caller, row_import_cleanup().

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

MDEV-15053 Reduce buf_pool_t::mutex contention User-visible changes: The INFORMATION_SCHEMA views INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE and INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE_LRU will report a dummy value FLUSH_TYPE=0 and will no longer report the PAGE_STATE value READY_FOR_USE. We will remove some fields from buf_page_t and move much code to member functions of buf_pool_t and buf_page_t, so that the access rules of data members can be enforced consistently. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.LRU will remain covered by buf_pool.mutex. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.page_hash will remain covered by both buf_pool.mutex and the buf_pool.page_hash X-latch. After this fix, buf_pool.page_hash lookups can entirely avoid acquiring buf_pool.mutex, only relying on buf_pool.hash_lock_get() S-latch. Similarly, buf_flush_check_neighbors() can will rely solely on buf_pool.mutex, no buf_pool.page_hash latch at all. The buf_pool.mutex is rather contended in I/O heavy benchmarks, especially when the workload does not fit in the buffer pool. The first attempt to alleviate the contention was the buf_pool_t::mutex split in commit 4ed7082eefe56b3e97e0edefb3df76dd7ef5e858 which introduced buf_block_t::mutex, which we are now removing. Later, multiple instances of buf_pool_t were introduced in commit c18084f71b02ea707c6461353e6cfc15d7553bc6 and recently removed by us in commit 1a6f708ec594ac0ae2dd30db926ab07b100fa24b (MDEV-15058). UNIV_BUF_DEBUG: Remove. This option to enable some buffer pool related debugging in otherwise non-debug builds has not been used for years. Instead, we have been using UNIV_DEBUG, which is enabled in CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug. buf_block_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::zip_mutex: Remove. We can mainly rely on std::atomic and the buf_pool.page_hash latches, and in some cases depend on buf_pool.mutex or buf_pool.flush_list_mutex just like before. We must always release buf_block_t::lock before invoking unfix() or io_unfix(), to prevent a glitch where a block that was added to the buf_pool.free list would apper X-latched. See commit c5883debd6ef440a037011c11873b396923e93c5 how this glitch was finally caught in a debug environment. We move some buf_pool_t::page_hash specific code from the ha and hash modules to buf_pool, for improved readability. buf_pool_t::close(): Assert that all blocks are clean, except on aborted startup or crash-like shutdown. buf_pool_t::validate(): No longer attempt to validate n_flush[] against the number of BUF_IO_WRITE fixed blocks, because buf_page_t::flush_type no longer exists. buf_pool_t::watch_set(): Replaces buf_pool_watch_set(). Reduce mutex contention by separating the buf_pool.watch[] allocation and the insert into buf_pool.page_hash. buf_pool_t::page_hash_lock<bool exclusive>(): Acquire a buf_pool.page_hash latch. Replaces and extends buf_page_hash_lock_s_confirm() and buf_page_hash_lock_x_confirm(). buf_pool_t::READ_AHEAD_PAGES: Renamed from BUF_READ_AHEAD_PAGES. buf_pool_t::curr_size, old_size, read_ahead_area, n_pend_reads: Use Atomic_counter. buf_pool_t::running_out(): Replaces buf_LRU_buf_pool_running_out(). buf_pool_t::LRU_remove(): Remove a block from the LRU list and return its predecessor. Incorporates buf_LRU_adjust_hp(), which was removed. buf_page_get_gen(): Remove a redundant call of fsp_is_system_temporary(), for mode == BUF_GET_IF_IN_POOL_OR_WATCH, which is only used by BTR_DELETE_OP (purge), which is never invoked on temporary tables. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Avoid redundant assignments. buf_LRU_free_from_unzip_LRU_list(): Simplify the loop condition. buf_LRU_free_page(): Clarify the function comment. buf_flush_check_neighbor(), buf_flush_check_neighbors(): Rewrite the construction of the page hash range. We will hold the buf_pool.mutex for up to buf_pool.read_ahead_area (at most 64) consecutive lookups of buf_pool.page_hash. buf_flush_page_and_try_neighbors(): Remove. Merge to its only callers, and remove redundant operations in buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(). buf_read_ahead_random(), buf_read_ahead_linear(): Rewrite. Do not acquire buf_pool.mutex, and iterate directly with page_id_t. ut_2_power_up(): Remove. my_round_up_to_next_power() is inlined and avoids any loops. fil_page_get_prev(), fil_page_get_next(), fil_addr_is_null(): Remove. buf_flush_page(): Add a fil_space_t* parameter. Minimize the buf_pool.mutex hold time. buf_pool.n_flush[] is no longer updated atomically with the io_fix, and we will protect most buf_block_t fields with buf_block_t::lock. The function buf_flush_write_block_low() is removed and merged here. buf_page_init_for_read(): Use static linkage. Initialize the newly allocated block and acquire the exclusive buf_block_t::lock while not holding any mutex. IORequest::IORequest(): Remove the body. We only need to invoke set_punch_hole() in buf_flush_page() and nowhere else. buf_page_t::flush_type: Remove. Replaced by IORequest::flush_type. This field is only used during a fil_io() call. That function already takes IORequest as a parameter, so we had better introduce for the rarely changing field. buf_block_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init(). buf_page_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init_low(). buf_block_t::initialise(): Initialise many fields, but keep the buf_page_t::state(). Both buf_pool_t::validate() and buf_page_optimistic_get() requires that buf_page_t::in_file() be protected atomically with buf_page_t::in_page_hash and buf_page_t::in_LRU_list. buf_page_optimistic_get(): Now that buf_block_t::mutex no longer exists, we must check buf_page_t::io_fix() after acquiring the buf_pool.page_hash lock, to detect whether buf_page_init_for_read() has been initiated. We will also check the io_fix() before acquiring hash_lock in order to avoid unnecessary computation. The field buf_block_t::modify_clock (protected by buf_block_t::lock) allows buf_page_optimistic_get() to validate the block. buf_page_t::real_size: Remove. It was only used while flushing pages of page_compressed tables. buf_page_encrypt(): Add an output parameter that allows us ot eliminate buf_page_t::real_size. Replace a condition with debug assertion. buf_page_should_punch_hole(): Remove. buf_dblwr_t::add_to_batch(): Replaces buf_dblwr_add_to_batch(). Add the parameter size (to replace buf_page_t::real_size). buf_dblwr_t::write_single_page(): Replaces buf_dblwr_write_single_page(). Add the parameter size (to replace buf_page_t::real_size). fil_system_t::detach(): Replaces fil_space_detach(). Ensure that fil_validate() will not be violated even if fil_system.mutex is released and reacquired. fil_node_t::complete_io(): Renamed from fil_node_complete_io(). fil_node_t::close_to_free(): Replaces fil_node_close_to_free(). Avoid invoking fil_node_t::close() because fil_system.n_open has already been decremented in fil_space_t::detach(). BUF_BLOCK_READY_FOR_USE: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_MEMORY. BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_DIRTY: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_PAGE, and distinguish dirty pages by buf_page_t::oldest_modification(). BUF_BLOCK_POOL_WATCH: Remove. Use BUF_BLOCK_NOT_USED instead. This state was only being used for buf_page_t that are in buf_pool.watch. buf_pool_t::watch[]: Remove pointer indirection. buf_page_t::in_flush_list: Remove. It was set if and only if buf_page_t::oldest_modification() is nonzero. buf_page_decrypt_after_read(), buf_corrupt_page_release(), buf_page_check_corrupt(): Change the const fil_space_t* parameter to const fil_node_t& so that we can report the correct file name. buf_page_monitor(): Declare as an ATTRIBUTE_COLD global function. buf_page_io_complete(): Split to buf_page_read_complete() and buf_page_write_complete(). buf_dblwr_t::in_use: Remove. buf_dblwr_t::buf_block_array: Add IORequest::flush_t. buf_dblwr_sync_datafiles(): Remove. It was a useless wrapper of os_aio_wait_until_no_pending_writes(). buf_flush_write_complete(): Declare static, not global. Add the parameter IORequest::flush_t. buf_flush_freed_page(): Simplify the code. recv_sys_t::flush_lru: Renamed from flush_type and changed to bool. fil_read(), fil_write(): Replaced with direct use of fil_io(). fil_buffering_disabled(): Remove. Check srv_file_flush_method directly. fil_mutex_enter_and_prepare_for_io(): Return the resolved fil_space_t* to avoid a duplicated lookup in the caller. fil_report_invalid_page_access(): Clean up the parameters. fil_io(): Return fil_io_t, which comprises fil_node_t and error code. Always invoke fil_space_t::acquire_for_io() and let either the sync=true caller or fil_aio_callback() invoke fil_space_t::release_for_io(). fil_aio_callback(): Rewrite to replace buf_page_io_complete(). fil_check_pending_operations(): Remove a parameter, and remove some redundant lookups. fil_node_close_to_free(): Wait for n_pending==0. Because we no longer do an extra lookup of the tablespace between fil_io() and the completion of the operation, we must give fil_node_t::complete_io() a chance to decrement the counter. fil_close_tablespace(): Remove unused parameter trx, and document that this is only invoked during the error handling of IMPORT TABLESPACE. row_import_discard_changes(): Merged with the only caller, row_import_cleanup(). Do not lock up the data dictionary while invoking fil_close_tablespace(). logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown(): Do not invoke fil_close_all_files(), to avoid a !needs_flush assertion failure on fil_node_t::close(). innodb_shutdown(): Invoke os_aio_free() before fil_close_all_files(). fil_close_all_files(): Invoke fil_flush_file_spaces() to ensure proper durability. thread_pool::unbind(): Fix a crash that would occur on Windows after srv_thread_pool->disable_aio() and os_file_close(). This fix was submitted by Vladislav Vaintroub. Thanks to Matthias Leich and Axel Schwenke for extensive testing, Vladislav Vaintroub for helpful comments, and Eugene Kosov for a review.

MDEV-23855: Remove fil_system.LRU and reduce fil_system.mutex contention Also fixes MDEV-23929: innodb_flush_neighbors is not being ignored for system tablespace on SSD When the maximum configured number of file is exceeded, InnoDB will close data files. We used to maintain a fil_system.LRU list and a counter fil_node_t::n_pending to achieve this, at the huge cost of multiple fil_system.mutex operations per I/O operation. fil_node_open_file_low(): Implement a FIFO replacement policy: The last opened file will be moved to the end of fil_system.space_list, and files will be closed from the start of the list. However, we will not move tablespaces in fil_system.space_list while i_s_tablespaces_encryption_fill_table() is executing (producing output for INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_TABLESPACES_ENCRYPTION) because it may cause information of some tablespaces to go missing.

Both buf_pool_t::validate() and buf_page_optimistic_get() requires that buf_page_t::in_file() be protected atomically with buf_page_t::in_page_hash and buf_page_t::in_LRU_list. buf_page_optimistic_get(): Now that buf_block_t::mutex no longer exists, we must check buf_page_t::io_fix() after acquiring the buf_pool.page_hash lock, to detect whether buf_page_init_for_read() has been initiated. We will also check the io_fix() before acquiring hash_lock in order to avoid unnecessary computation. The field buf_block_t::modify_clock (protected by buf_block_t::lock) allows buf_page_optimistic_get() to validate the block. buf_page_t::real_size: Remove. It was only used while flushing pages of page_compressed tables. buf_page_encrypt(): Add an output parameter that allows us ot eliminate buf_page_t::real_size. Replace a condition with debug assertion. buf_page_should_punch_hole(): Remove. buf_dblwr_t::add_to_batch(): Replaces buf_dblwr_add_to_batch(). Add the parameter size (to replace buf_page_t::real_size). buf_dblwr_t::write_single_page(): Replaces buf_dblwr_write_single_page(). Add the parameter size (to replace buf_page_t::real_size). fil_system_t::detach(): Replaces fil_space_detach(). Ensure that fil_validate() will not be violated even if fil_system.mutex is released and reacquired. fil_node_t::complete_io(): Renamed from fil_node_complete_io(). fil_node_t::close_to_free(): Replaces fil_node_close_to_free(). Avoid invoking fil_node_t::close() because fil_system.n_open has already been decremented in fil_space_t::detach(). BUF_BLOCK_READY_FOR_USE: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_MEMORY. BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_DIRTY: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_PAGE, and distinguish dirty pages by buf_page_t::oldest_modification(). BUF_BLOCK_POOL_WATCH: Remove. Use BUF_BLOCK_NOT_USED instead. This state was only being used for buf_page_t that are in buf_pool.watch. buf_pool_t::watch[]: Remove pointer indirection. buf_page_t::in_flush_list: Remove. It was set if and only if buf_page_t::oldest_modification() is nonzero. buf_page_decrypt_after_read(), buf_corrupt_page_release(), buf_page_check_corrupt(): Change the const fil_space_t* parameter to const fil_node_t& so that we can report the correct file name. buf_page_monitor(): Declare as an ATTRIBUTE_COLD global function. buf_page_io_complete(): Split to buf_page_read_complete() and buf_page_write_complete(). buf_dblwr_t::in_use: Remove. buf_dblwr_t::buf_block_array: Add IORequest::flush_t. buf_dblwr_sync_datafiles(): Remove. It was a useless wrapper of os_aio_wait_until_no_pending_writes(). buf_flush_write_complete(): Declare static, not global. Add the parameter IORequest::flush_t. buf_flush_freed_page(): Simplify the code. recv_sys_t::flush_lru: Renamed from flush_type and changed to bool. fil_read(), fil_write(): Replaced with direct use of fil_io(). fil_buffering_disabled(): Remove. Check srv_file_flush_method directly. fil_mutex_enter_and_prepare_for_io(): Return the resolved fil_space_t* to avoid a duplicated lookup in the caller. fil_report_invalid_page_access(): Clean up the parameters. fil_io(): Return fil_io_t, which comprises fil_node_t and error code. Always invoke fil_space_t::acquire_for_io() and let either the sync=true caller or fil_aio_callback() invoke fil_space_t::release_for_io(). fil_aio_callback(): Rewrite to replace buf_page_io_complete(). fil_check_pending_operations(): Remove a parameter, and remove some redundant lookups. fil_node_close_to_free(): Wait for n_pending==0. Because we no longer do an extra lookup of the tablespace between fil_io() and the completion of the operation, we must give fil_node_t::complete_io() a chance to decrement the counter. fil_close_tablespace(): Remove unused parameter trx, and document that this is only invoked during the error handling of IMPORT TABLESPACE. row_import_discard_changes(): Merged with the only caller, row_import_cleanup(). Do not lock up the data dictionary while invoking fil_close_tablespace(). logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown(): Do not invoke fil_close_all_files(), to avoid a !needs_flush assertion failure on fil_node_t::close(). innodb_shutdown(): Invoke os_aio_free() before fil_close_all_files(). fil_close_all_files(): Invoke fil_flush_file_spaces() to ensure proper durability. thread_pool::unbind(): Fix a crash that would occur on Windows after srv_thread_pool->disable_aio() and os_file_close(). This fix was submitted by Vladislav Vaintroub. Thanks to Matthias Leich and Axel Schwenke for extensive testing, Vladislav Vaintroub for helpful comments, and Eugene Kosov for a review.

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

MDEV-15053 Reduce buf_pool_t::mutex contention User-visible changes: The INFORMATION_SCHEMA views INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE and INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE_LRU will report a dummy value FLUSH_TYPE=0 and will no longer report the PAGE_STATE value READY_FOR_USE. We will remove some fields from buf_page_t and move much code to member functions of buf_pool_t and buf_page_t, so that the access rules of data members can be enforced consistently. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.LRU will remain covered by buf_pool.mutex. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.page_hash will remain covered by both buf_pool.mutex and the buf_pool.page_hash X-latch. After this fix, buf_pool.page_hash lookups can entirely avoid acquiring buf_pool.mutex, only relying on buf_pool.hash_lock_get() S-latch. Similarly, buf_flush_check_neighbors() can will rely solely on buf_pool.mutex, no buf_pool.page_hash latch at all. The buf_pool.mutex is rather contended in I/O heavy benchmarks, especially when the workload does not fit in the buffer pool. The first attempt to alleviate the contention was the buf_pool_t::mutex split in commit 4ed7082eefe56b3e97e0edefb3df76dd7ef5e858 which introduced buf_block_t::mutex, which we are now removing. Later, multiple instances of buf_pool_t were introduced in commit c18084f71b02ea707c6461353e6cfc15d7553bc6 and recently removed by us in commit 1a6f708ec594ac0ae2dd30db926ab07b100fa24b (MDEV-15058). UNIV_BUF_DEBUG: Remove. This option to enable some buffer pool related debugging in otherwise non-debug builds has not been used for years. Instead, we have been using UNIV_DEBUG, which is enabled in CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug. buf_block_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::zip_mutex: Remove. We can mainly rely on std::atomic and the buf_pool.page_hash latches, and in some cases depend on buf_pool.mutex or buf_pool.flush_list_mutex just like before. We must always release buf_block_t::lock before invoking unfix() or io_unfix(), to prevent a glitch where a block that was added to the buf_pool.free list would apper X-latched. See commit c5883debd6ef440a037011c11873b396923e93c5 how this glitch was finally caught in a debug environment. We move some buf_pool_t::page_hash specific code from the ha and hash modules to buf_pool, for improved readability. buf_pool_t::close(): Assert that all blocks are clean, except on aborted startup or crash-like shutdown. buf_pool_t::validate(): No longer attempt to validate n_flush[] against the number of BUF_IO_WRITE fixed blocks, because buf_page_t::flush_type no longer exists. buf_pool_t::watch_set(): Replaces buf_pool_watch_set(). Reduce mutex contention by separating the buf_pool.watch[] allocation and the insert into buf_pool.page_hash. buf_pool_t::page_hash_lock<bool exclusive>(): Acquire a buf_pool.page_hash latch. Replaces and extends buf_page_hash_lock_s_confirm() and buf_page_hash_lock_x_confirm(). buf_pool_t::READ_AHEAD_PAGES: Renamed from BUF_READ_AHEAD_PAGES. buf_pool_t::curr_size, old_size, read_ahead_area, n_pend_reads: Use Atomic_counter. buf_pool_t::running_out(): Replaces buf_LRU_buf_pool_running_out(). buf_pool_t::LRU_remove(): Remove a block from the LRU list and return its predecessor. Incorporates buf_LRU_adjust_hp(), which was removed. buf_page_get_gen(): Remove a redundant call of fsp_is_system_temporary(), for mode == BUF_GET_IF_IN_POOL_OR_WATCH, which is only used by BTR_DELETE_OP (purge), which is never invoked on temporary tables. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Avoid redundant assignments. buf_LRU_free_from_unzip_LRU_list(): Simplify the loop condition. buf_LRU_free_page(): Clarify the function comment. buf_flush_check_neighbor(), buf_flush_check_neighbors(): Rewrite the construction of the page hash range. We will hold the buf_pool.mutex for up to buf_pool.read_ahead_area (at most 64) consecutive lookups of buf_pool.page_hash. buf_flush_page_and_try_neighbors(): Remove. Merge to its only callers, and remove redundant operations in buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(). buf_read_ahead_random(), buf_read_ahead_linear(): Rewrite. Do not acquire buf_pool.mutex, and iterate directly with page_id_t. ut_2_power_up(): Remove. my_round_up_to_next_power() is inlined and avoids any loops. fil_page_get_prev(), fil_page_get_next(), fil_addr_is_null(): Remove. buf_flush_page(): Add a fil_space_t* parameter. Minimize the buf_pool.mutex hold time. buf_pool.n_flush[] is no longer updated atomically with the io_fix, and we will protect most buf_block_t fields with buf_block_t::lock. The function buf_flush_write_block_low() is removed and merged here. buf_page_init_for_read(): Use static linkage. Initialize the newly allocated block and acquire the exclusive buf_block_t::lock while not holding any mutex. IORequest::IORequest(): Remove the body. We only need to invoke set_punch_hole() in buf_flush_page() and nowhere else. buf_page_t::flush_type: Remove. Replaced by IORequest::flush_type. This field is only used during a fil_io() call. That function already takes IORequest as a parameter, so we had better introduce for the rarely changing field. buf_block_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init(). buf_page_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init_low(). buf_block_t::initialise(): Initialise many fields, but keep the buf_page_t::state(). Both buf_pool_t::validate() and buf_page_optimistic_get() requires that buf_page_t::in_file() be protected atomically with buf_page_t::in_page_hash and buf_page_t::in_LRU_list. buf_page_optimistic_get(): Now that buf_block_t::mutex no longer exists, we must check buf_page_t::io_fix() after acquiring the buf_pool.page_hash lock, to detect whether buf_page_init_for_read() has been initiated. We will also check the io_fix() before acquiring hash_lock in order to avoid unnecessary computation. The field buf_block_t::modify_clock (protected by buf_block_t::lock) allows buf_page_optimistic_get() to validate the block. buf_page_t::real_size: Remove. It was only used while flushing pages of page_compressed tables. buf_page_encrypt(): Add an output parameter that allows us ot eliminate buf_page_t::real_size. Replace a condition with debug assertion. buf_page_should_punch_hole(): Remove. buf_dblwr_t::add_to_batch(): Replaces buf_dblwr_add_to_batch().

The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

MDEV-15053 Reduce buf_pool_t::mutex contention User-visible changes: The INFORMATION_SCHEMA views INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE and INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE_LRU will report a dummy value FLUSH_TYPE=0 and will no longer report the PAGE_STATE value READY_FOR_USE. We will remove some fields from buf_page_t and move much code to member functions of buf_pool_t and buf_page_t, so that the access rules of data members can be enforced consistently. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.LRU will remain covered by buf_pool.mutex. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.page_hash will remain covered by both buf_pool.mutex and the buf_pool.page_hash X-latch. After this fix, buf_pool.page_hash lookups can entirely avoid acquiring buf_pool.mutex, only relying on buf_pool.hash_lock_get() S-latch. Similarly, buf_flush_check_neighbors() can will rely solely on buf_pool.mutex, no buf_pool.page_hash latch at all. The buf_pool.mutex is rather contended in I/O heavy benchmarks, especially when the workload does not fit in the buffer pool. The first attempt to alleviate the contention was the buf_pool_t::mutex split in commit 4ed7082eefe56b3e97e0edefb3df76dd7ef5e858 which introduced buf_block_t::mutex, which we are now removing. Later, multiple instances of buf_pool_t were introduced in commit c18084f71b02ea707c6461353e6cfc15d7553bc6 and recently removed by us in commit 1a6f708ec594ac0ae2dd30db926ab07b100fa24b (MDEV-15058). UNIV_BUF_DEBUG: Remove. This option to enable some buffer pool related debugging in otherwise non-debug builds has not been used for years. Instead, we have been using UNIV_DEBUG, which is enabled in CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug. buf_block_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::zip_mutex: Remove. We can mainly rely on std::atomic and the buf_pool.page_hash latches, and in some cases depend on buf_pool.mutex or buf_pool.flush_list_mutex just like before. We must always release buf_block_t::lock before invoking unfix() or io_unfix(), to prevent a glitch where a block that was added to the buf_pool.free list would apper X-latched. See commit c5883debd6ef440a037011c11873b396923e93c5 how this glitch was finally caught in a debug environment. We move some buf_pool_t::page_hash specific code from the ha and hash modules to buf_pool, for improved readability. buf_pool_t::close(): Assert that all blocks are clean, except on aborted startup or crash-like shutdown. buf_pool_t::validate(): No longer attempt to validate n_flush[] against the number of BUF_IO_WRITE fixed blocks, because buf_page_t::flush_type no longer exists. buf_pool_t::watch_set(): Replaces buf_pool_watch_set(). Reduce mutex contention by separating the buf_pool.watch[] allocation and the insert into buf_pool.page_hash. buf_pool_t::page_hash_lock<bool exclusive>(): Acquire a buf_pool.page_hash latch. Replaces and extends buf_page_hash_lock_s_confirm() and buf_page_hash_lock_x_confirm(). buf_pool_t::READ_AHEAD_PAGES: Renamed from BUF_READ_AHEAD_PAGES. buf_pool_t::curr_size, old_size, read_ahead_area, n_pend_reads: Use Atomic_counter. buf_pool_t::running_out(): Replaces buf_LRU_buf_pool_running_out(). buf_pool_t::LRU_remove(): Remove a block from the LRU list and return its predecessor. Incorporates buf_LRU_adjust_hp(), which was removed. buf_page_get_gen(): Remove a redundant call of fsp_is_system_temporary(), for mode == BUF_GET_IF_IN_POOL_OR_WATCH, which is only used by BTR_DELETE_OP (purge), which is never invoked on temporary tables. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Avoid redundant assignments. buf_LRU_free_from_unzip_LRU_list(): Simplify the loop condition. buf_LRU_free_page(): Clarify the function comment. buf_flush_check_neighbor(), buf_flush_check_neighbors(): Rewrite the construction of the page hash range. We will hold the buf_pool.mutex for up to buf_pool.read_ahead_area (at most 64) consecutive lookups of buf_pool.page_hash. buf_flush_page_and_try_neighbors(): Remove. Merge to its only callers, and remove redundant operations in buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(). buf_read_ahead_random(), buf_read_ahead_linear(): Rewrite. Do not acquire buf_pool.mutex, and iterate directly with page_id_t. ut_2_power_up(): Remove. my_round_up_to_next_power() is inlined and avoids any loops. fil_page_get_prev(), fil_page_get_next(), fil_addr_is_null(): Remove. buf_flush_page(): Add a fil_space_t* parameter. Minimize the buf_pool.mutex hold time. buf_pool.n_flush[] is no longer updated atomically with the io_fix, and we will protect most buf_block_t fields with buf_block_t::lock. The function buf_flush_write_block_low() is removed and merged here. buf_page_init_for_read(): Use static linkage. Initialize the newly allocated block and acquire the exclusive buf_block_t::lock while not holding any mutex. IORequest::IORequest(): Remove the body. We only need to invoke set_punch_hole() in buf_flush_page() and nowhere else. buf_page_t::flush_type: Remove. Replaced by IORequest::flush_type. This field is only used during a fil_io() call. That function already takes IORequest as a parameter, so we had better introduce for the rarely changing field. buf_block_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init(). buf_page_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init_low(). buf_block_t::initialise(): Initialise many fields, but keep the buf_page_t::state(). Both buf_pool_t::validate() and buf_page_optimistic_get() requires that buf_page_t::in_file() be protected atomically with buf_page_t::in_page_hash and buf_page_t::in_LRU_list. buf_page_optimistic_get(): Now that buf_block_t::mutex no longer exists, we must check buf_page_t::io_fix() after acquiring the buf_pool.page_hash lock, to detect whether buf_page_init_for_read() has been initiated. We will also check the io_fix() before acquiring hash_lock in order to avoid unnecessary computation. The field buf_block_t::modify_clock (protected by buf_block_t::lock) allows buf_page_optimistic_get() to validate the block. buf_page_t::real_size: Remove. It was only used while flushing pages of page_compressed tables. buf_page_encrypt(): Add an output parameter that allows us ot eliminate buf_page_t::real_size. Replace a condition with debug assertion. buf_page_should_punch_hole(): Remove. buf_dblwr_t::add_to_batch(): Replaces buf_dblwr_add_to_batch(). Add the parameter size (to replace buf_page_t::real_size). buf_dblwr_t::write_single_page(): Replaces buf_dblwr_write_single_page(). Add the parameter size (to replace buf_page_t::real_size). fil_system_t::detach(): Replaces fil_space_detach(). Ensure that fil_validate() will not be violated even if fil_system.mutex is released and reacquired. fil_node_t::complete_io(): Renamed from fil_node_complete_io(). fil_node_t::close_to_free(): Replaces fil_node_close_to_free(). Avoid invoking fil_node_t::close() because fil_system.n_open has already been decremented in fil_space_t::detach(). BUF_BLOCK_READY_FOR_USE: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_MEMORY. BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_DIRTY: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_PAGE, and distinguish dirty pages by buf_page_t::oldest_modification(). BUF_BLOCK_POOL_WATCH: Remove. Use BUF_BLOCK_NOT_USED instead. This state was only being used for buf_page_t that are in buf_pool.watch. buf_pool_t::watch[]: Remove pointer indirection. buf_page_t::in_flush_list: Remove. It was set if and only if buf_page_t::oldest_modification() is nonzero. buf_page_decrypt_after_read(), buf_corrupt_page_release(), buf_page_check_corrupt(): Change the const fil_space_t* parameter to const fil_node_t& so that we can report the correct file name. buf_page_monitor(): Declare as an ATTRIBUTE_COLD global function. buf_page_io_complete(): Split to buf_page_read_complete() and buf_page_write_complete(). buf_dblwr_t::in_use: Remove. buf_dblwr_t::buf_block_array: Add IORequest::flush_t. buf_dblwr_sync_datafiles(): Remove. It was a useless wrapper of os_aio_wait_until_no_pending_writes(). buf_flush_write_complete(): Declare static, not global. Add the parameter IORequest::flush_t. buf_flush_freed_page(): Simplify the code. recv_sys_t::flush_lru: Renamed from flush_type and changed to bool. fil_read(), fil_write(): Replaced with direct use of fil_io(). fil_buffering_disabled(): Remove. Check srv_file_flush_method directly. fil_mutex_enter_and_prepare_for_io(): Return the resolved fil_space_t* to avoid a duplicated lookup in the caller. fil_report_invalid_page_access(): Clean up the parameters. fil_io(): Return fil_io_t, which comprises fil_node_t and error code. Always invoke fil_space_t::acquire_for_io() and let either the sync=true caller or fil_aio_callback() invoke fil_space_t::release_for_io(). fil_aio_callback(): Rewrite to replace buf_page_io_complete(). fil_check_pending_operations(): Remove a parameter, and remove some redundant lookups. fil_node_close_to_free(): Wait for n_pending==0. Because we no longer do an extra lookup of the tablespace between fil_io() and the completion of the operation, we must give fil_node_t::complete_io() a chance to decrement the counter. fil_close_tablespace(): Remove unused parameter trx, and document that this is only invoked during the error handling of IMPORT TABLESPACE. row_import_discard_changes(): Merged with the only caller, row_import_cleanup(). Do not lock up the data dictionary while invoking fil_close_tablespace(). logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown(): Do not invoke fil_close_all_files(), to avoid a !needs_flush assertion failure on fil_node_t::close(). innodb_shutdown(): Invoke os_aio_free() before fil_close_all_files(). fil_close_all_files(): Invoke fil_flush_file_spaces() to ensure proper durability. thread_pool::unbind(): Fix a crash that would occur on Windows after srv_thread_pool->disable_aio() and os_file_close(). This fix was submitted by Vladislav Vaintroub. Thanks to Matthias Leich and Axel Schwenke for extensive testing, Vladislav Vaintroub for helpful comments, and Eugene Kosov for a review.

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread.

The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA.

Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

MDEV-15053 Reduce buf_pool_t::mutex contention User-visible changes: The INFORMATION_SCHEMA views INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE and INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE_LRU will report a dummy value FLUSH_TYPE=0 and will no longer report the PAGE_STATE value READY_FOR_USE. We will remove some fields from buf_page_t and move much code to member functions of buf_pool_t and buf_page_t, so that the access rules of data members can be enforced consistently. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.LRU will remain covered by buf_pool.mutex. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.page_hash will remain covered by both buf_pool.mutex and the buf_pool.page_hash X-latch. After this fix, buf_pool.page_hash lookups can entirely avoid acquiring buf_pool.mutex, only relying on buf_pool.hash_lock_get() S-latch. Similarly, buf_flush_check_neighbors() can will rely solely on buf_pool.mutex, no buf_pool.page_hash latch at all. The buf_pool.mutex is rather contended in I/O heavy benchmarks, especially when the workload does not fit in the buffer pool. The first attempt to alleviate the contention was the buf_pool_t::mutex split in commit 4ed7082eefe56b3e97e0edefb3df76dd7ef5e858 which introduced buf_block_t::mutex, which we are now removing. Later, multiple instances of buf_pool_t were introduced in commit c18084f71b02ea707c6461353e6cfc15d7553bc6 and recently removed by us in commit 1a6f708ec594ac0ae2dd30db926ab07b100fa24b (MDEV-15058). UNIV_BUF_DEBUG: Remove. This option to enable some buffer pool related debugging in otherwise non-debug builds has not been used for years. Instead, we have been using UNIV_DEBUG, which is enabled in CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug. buf_block_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::zip_mutex: Remove. We can mainly rely on std::atomic and the buf_pool.page_hash latches, and in some cases depend on buf_pool.mutex or buf_pool.flush_list_mutex just like before. We must always release buf_block_t::lock before invoking unfix() or io_unfix(), to prevent a glitch where a block that was added to the buf_pool.free list would apper X-latched. See commit c5883debd6ef440a037011c11873b396923e93c5 how this glitch was finally caught in a debug environment. We move some buf_pool_t::page_hash specific code from the ha and hash modules to buf_pool, for improved readability. buf_pool_t::close(): Assert that all blocks are clean, except on aborted startup or crash-like shutdown. buf_pool_t::validate(): No longer attempt to validate n_flush[] against the number of BUF_IO_WRITE fixed blocks, because buf_page_t::flush_type no longer exists. buf_pool_t::watch_set(): Replaces buf_pool_watch_set(). Reduce mutex contention by separating the buf_pool.watch[] allocation and the insert into buf_pool.page_hash. buf_pool_t::page_hash_lock<bool exclusive>(): Acquire a buf_pool.page_hash latch. Replaces and extends buf_page_hash_lock_s_confirm() and buf_page_hash_lock_x_confirm(). buf_pool_t::READ_AHEAD_PAGES: Renamed from BUF_READ_AHEAD_PAGES. buf_pool_t::curr_size, old_size, read_ahead_area, n_pend_reads: Use Atomic_counter. buf_pool_t::running_out(): Replaces buf_LRU_buf_pool_running_out(). buf_pool_t::LRU_remove(): Remove a block from the LRU list and return its predecessor. Incorporates buf_LRU_adjust_hp(), which was removed. buf_page_get_gen(): Remove a redundant call of fsp_is_system_temporary(), for mode == BUF_GET_IF_IN_POOL_OR_WATCH, which is only used by BTR_DELETE_OP (purge), which is never invoked on temporary tables. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Avoid redundant assignments. buf_LRU_free_from_unzip_LRU_list(): Simplify the loop condition. buf_LRU_free_page(): Clarify the function comment. buf_flush_check_neighbor(), buf_flush_check_neighbors(): Rewrite the construction of the page hash range. We will hold the buf_pool.mutex for up to buf_pool.read_ahead_area (at most 64) consecutive lookups of buf_pool.page_hash. buf_flush_page_and_try_neighbors(): Remove. Merge to its only callers, and remove redundant operations in buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(). buf_read_ahead_random(), buf_read_ahead_linear(): Rewrite. Do not acquire buf_pool.mutex, and iterate directly with page_id_t. ut_2_power_up(): Remove. my_round_up_to_next_power() is inlined and avoids any loops. fil_page_get_prev(), fil_page_get_next(), fil_addr_is_null(): Remove. buf_flush_page(): Add a fil_space_t* parameter. Minimize the buf_pool.mutex hold time. buf_pool.n_flush[] is no longer updated atomically with the io_fix, and we will protect most buf_block_t fields with buf_block_t::lock. The function buf_flush_write_block_low() is removed and merged here. buf_page_init_for_read(): Use static linkage. Initialize the newly allocated block and acquire the exclusive buf_block_t::lock while not holding any mutex. IORequest::IORequest(): Remove the body. We only need to invoke set_punch_hole() in buf_flush_page() and nowhere else. buf_page_t::flush_type: Remove. Replaced by IORequest::flush_type. This field is only used during a fil_io() call. That function already takes IORequest as a parameter, so we had better introduce for the rarely changing field. buf_block_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init(). buf_page_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init_low(). buf_block_t::initialise(): Initialise many fields, but keep the buf_page_t::state(). Both buf_pool_t::validate() and buf_page_optimistic_get() requires that buf_page_t::in_file() be protected atomically with buf_page_t::in_page_hash and buf_page_t::in_LRU_list. buf_page_optimistic_get(): Now that buf_block_t::mutex no longer exists, we must check buf_page_t::io_fix() after acquiring the buf_pool.page_hash lock, to detect whether buf_page_init_for_read() has been initiated. We will also check the io_fix() before acquiring hash_lock in order to avoid unnecessary computation. The field buf_block_t::modify_clock (protected by buf_block_t::lock) allows buf_page_optimistic_get() to validate the block. buf_page_t::real_size: Remove. It was only used while flushing pages of page_compressed tables. buf_page_encrypt(): Add an output parameter that allows us ot eliminate buf_page_t::real_size. Replace a condition with debug assertion. buf_page_should_punch_hole(): Remove. buf_dblwr_t::add_to_batch(): Replaces buf_dblwr_add_to_batch(). Add the parameter size (to replace buf_page_t::real_size). buf_dblwr_t::write_single_page(): Replaces buf_dblwr_write_single_page(). Add the parameter size (to replace buf_page_t::real_size). fil_system_t::detach(): Replaces fil_space_detach(). Ensure that fil_validate() will not be violated even if fil_system.mutex is released and reacquired. fil_node_t::complete_io(): Renamed from fil_node_complete_io(). fil_node_t::close_to_free(): Replaces fil_node_close_to_free(). Avoid invoking fil_node_t::close() because fil_system.n_open has already been decremented in fil_space_t::detach(). BUF_BLOCK_READY_FOR_USE: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_MEMORY. BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_DIRTY: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_PAGE, and distinguish dirty pages by buf_page_t::oldest_modification(). BUF_BLOCK_POOL_WATCH: Remove. Use BUF_BLOCK_NOT_USED instead. This state was only being used for buf_page_t that are in buf_pool.watch. buf_pool_t::watch[]: Remove pointer indirection. buf_page_t::in_flush_list: Remove. It was set if and only if buf_page_t::oldest_modification() is nonzero. buf_page_decrypt_after_read(), buf_corrupt_page_release(), buf_page_check_corrupt(): Change the const fil_space_t* parameter to const fil_node_t& so that we can report the correct file name. buf_page_monitor(): Declare as an ATTRIBUTE_COLD global function. buf_page_io_complete(): Split to buf_page_read_complete() and buf_page_write_complete(). buf_dblwr_t::in_use: Remove. buf_dblwr_t::buf_block_array: Add IORequest::flush_t. buf_dblwr_sync_datafiles(): Remove. It was a useless wrapper of os_aio_wait_until_no_pending_writes(). buf_flush_write_complete(): Declare static, not global. Add the parameter IORequest::flush_t. buf_flush_freed_page(): Simplify the code. recv_sys_t::flush_lru: Renamed from flush_type and changed to bool. fil_read(), fil_write(): Replaced with direct use of fil_io(). fil_buffering_disabled(): Remove. Check srv_file_flush_method directly. fil_mutex_enter_and_prepare_for_io(): Return the resolved fil_space_t* to avoid a duplicated lookup in the caller. fil_report_invalid_page_access(): Clean up the parameters. fil_io(): Return fil_io_t, which comprises fil_node_t and error code. Always invoke fil_space_t::acquire_for_io() and let either the sync=true caller or fil_aio_callback() invoke fil_space_t::release_for_io(). fil_aio_callback(): Rewrite to replace buf_page_io_complete(). fil_check_pending_operations(): Remove a parameter, and remove some redundant lookups. fil_node_close_to_free(): Wait for n_pending==0. Because we no longer do an extra lookup of the tablespace between fil_io() and the completion of the operation, we must give fil_node_t::complete_io() a chance to decrement the counter. fil_close_tablespace(): Remove unused parameter trx, and document that this is only invoked during the error handling of IMPORT TABLESPACE. row_import_discard_changes(): Merged with the only caller, row_import_cleanup(). Do not lock up the data dictionary while invoking fil_close_tablespace(). logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown(): Do not invoke fil_close_all_files(), to avoid a !needs_flush assertion failure on fil_node_t::close(). innodb_shutdown(): Invoke os_aio_free() before fil_close_all_files(). fil_close_all_files(): Invoke fil_flush_file_spaces() to ensure proper durability. thread_pool::unbind(): Fix a crash that would occur on Windows after srv_thread_pool->disable_aio() and os_file_close(). This fix was submitted by Vladislav Vaintroub. Thanks to Matthias Leich and Axel Schwenke for extensive testing, Vladislav Vaintroub for helpful comments, and Eugene Kosov for a review.

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

MDEV-15053 Reduce buf_pool_t::mutex contention User-visible changes: The INFORMATION_SCHEMA views INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE and INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE_LRU will report a dummy value FLUSH_TYPE=0 and will no longer report the PAGE_STATE value READY_FOR_USE. We will remove some fields from buf_page_t and move much code to member functions of buf_pool_t and buf_page_t, so that the access rules of data members can be enforced consistently. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.LRU will remain covered by buf_pool.mutex. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.page_hash will remain covered by both buf_pool.mutex and the buf_pool.page_hash X-latch. After this fix, buf_pool.page_hash lookups can entirely avoid acquiring buf_pool.mutex, only relying on buf_pool.hash_lock_get() S-latch. Similarly, buf_flush_check_neighbors() can will rely solely on buf_pool.mutex, no buf_pool.page_hash latch at all. The buf_pool.mutex is rather contended in I/O heavy benchmarks, especially when the workload does not fit in the buffer pool. The first attempt to alleviate the contention was the buf_pool_t::mutex split in commit 4ed7082eefe56b3e97e0edefb3df76dd7ef5e858 which introduced buf_block_t::mutex, which we are now removing. Later, multiple instances of buf_pool_t were introduced in commit c18084f71b02ea707c6461353e6cfc15d7553bc6 and recently removed by us in commit 1a6f708ec594ac0ae2dd30db926ab07b100fa24b (MDEV-15058). UNIV_BUF_DEBUG: Remove. This option to enable some buffer pool related debugging in otherwise non-debug builds has not been used for years. Instead, we have been using UNIV_DEBUG, which is enabled in CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug. buf_block_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::zip_mutex: Remove. We can mainly rely on std::atomic and the buf_pool.page_hash latches, and in some cases depend on buf_pool.mutex or buf_pool.flush_list_mutex just like before. We must always release buf_block_t::lock before invoking unfix() or io_unfix(), to prevent a glitch where a block that was added to the buf_pool.free list would apper X-latched. See commit c5883debd6ef440a037011c11873b396923e93c5 how this glitch was finally caught in a debug environment. We move some buf_pool_t::page_hash specific code from the ha and hash modules to buf_pool, for improved readability. buf_pool_t::close(): Assert that all blocks are clean, except on aborted startup or crash-like shutdown. buf_pool_t::validate(): No longer attempt to validate n_flush[] against the number of BUF_IO_WRITE fixed blocks, because buf_page_t::flush_type no longer exists. buf_pool_t::watch_set(): Replaces buf_pool_watch_set(). Reduce mutex contention by separating the buf_pool.watch[] allocation and the insert into buf_pool.page_hash. buf_pool_t::page_hash_lock<bool exclusive>(): Acquire a buf_pool.page_hash latch. Replaces and extends buf_page_hash_lock_s_confirm() and buf_page_hash_lock_x_confirm(). buf_pool_t::READ_AHEAD_PAGES: Renamed from BUF_READ_AHEAD_PAGES. buf_pool_t::curr_size, old_size, read_ahead_area, n_pend_reads: Use Atomic_counter. buf_pool_t::running_out(): Replaces buf_LRU_buf_pool_running_out(). buf_pool_t::LRU_remove(): Remove a block from the LRU list and return its predecessor. Incorporates buf_LRU_adjust_hp(), which was removed. buf_page_get_gen(): Remove a redundant call of fsp_is_system_temporary(), for mode == BUF_GET_IF_IN_POOL_OR_WATCH, which is only used by BTR_DELETE_OP (purge), which is never invoked on temporary tables. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Avoid redundant assignments. buf_LRU_free_from_unzip_LRU_list(): Simplify the loop condition. buf_LRU_free_page(): Clarify the function comment. buf_flush_check_neighbor(), buf_flush_check_neighbors(): Rewrite the construction of the page hash range. We will hold the buf_pool.mutex for up to buf_pool.read_ahead_area (at most 64) consecutive lookups of buf_pool.page_hash. buf_flush_page_and_try_neighbors(): Remove. Merge to its only callers, and remove redundant operations in buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(). buf_read_ahead_random(), buf_read_ahead_linear(): Rewrite. Do not acquire buf_pool.mutex, and iterate directly with page_id_t. ut_2_power_up(): Remove. my_round_up_to_next_power() is inlined and avoids any loops. fil_page_get_prev(), fil_page_get_next(), fil_addr_is_null(): Remove. buf_flush_page(): Add a fil_space_t* parameter. Minimize the buf_pool.mutex hold time. buf_pool.n_flush[] is no longer updated atomically with the io_fix, and we will protect most buf_block_t fields with buf_block_t::lock. The function buf_flush_write_block_low() is removed and merged here. buf_page_init_for_read(): Use static linkage. Initialize the newly allocated block and acquire the exclusive buf_block_t::lock while not holding any mutex. IORequest::IORequest(): Remove the body. We only need to invoke set_punch_hole() in buf_flush_page() and nowhere else. buf_page_t::flush_type: Remove. Replaced by IORequest::flush_type. This field is only used during a fil_io() call. That function already takes IORequest as a parameter, so we had better introduce for the rarely changing field. buf_block_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init(). buf_page_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init_low(). buf_block_t::initialise(): Initialise many fields, but keep the buf_page_t::state(). Both buf_pool_t::validate() and buf_page_optimistic_get() requires that buf_page_t::in_file() be protected atomically with buf_page_t::in_page_hash and buf_page_t::in_LRU_list. buf_page_optimistic_get(): Now that buf_block_t::mutex no longer exists, we must check buf_page_t::io_fix() after acquiring the buf_pool.page_hash lock, to detect whether buf_page_init_for_read() has been initiated. We will also check the io_fix() before acquiring hash_lock in order to avoid unnecessary computation. The field buf_block_t::modify_clock (protected by buf_block_t::lock) allows buf_page_optimistic_get() to validate the block. buf_page_t::real_size: Remove. It was only used while flushing pages of page_compressed tables. buf_page_encrypt(): Add an output parameter that allows us ot eliminate buf_page_t::real_size. Replace a condition with debug assertion. buf_page_should_punch_hole(): Remove. buf_dblwr_t::add_to_batch(): Replaces buf_dblwr_add_to_batch(). Add the parameter size (to replace buf_page_t::real_size). buf_dblwr_t::write_single_page(): Replaces buf_dblwr_write_single_page(). Add the parameter size (to replace buf_page_t::real_size). fil_system_t::detach(): Replaces fil_space_detach(). Ensure that fil_validate() will not be violated even if fil_system.mutex is released and reacquired. fil_node_t::complete_io(): Renamed from fil_node_complete_io(). fil_node_t::close_to_free(): Replaces fil_node_close_to_free(). Avoid invoking fil_node_t::close() because fil_system.n_open has already been decremented in fil_space_t::detach(). BUF_BLOCK_READY_FOR_USE: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_MEMORY. BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_DIRTY: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_PAGE, and distinguish dirty pages by buf_page_t::oldest_modification(). BUF_BLOCK_POOL_WATCH: Remove. Use BUF_BLOCK_NOT_USED instead. This state was only being used for buf_page_t that are in buf_pool.watch. buf_pool_t::watch[]: Remove pointer indirection. buf_page_t::in_flush_list: Remove. It was set if and only if buf_page_t::oldest_modification() is nonzero. buf_page_decrypt_after_read(), buf_corrupt_page_release(), buf_page_check_corrupt(): Change the const fil_space_t* parameter to const fil_node_t& so that we can report the correct file name. buf_page_monitor(): Declare as an ATTRIBUTE_COLD global function. buf_page_io_complete(): Split to buf_page_read_complete() and buf_page_write_complete(). buf_dblwr_t::in_use: Remove. buf_dblwr_t::buf_block_array: Add IORequest::flush_t. buf_dblwr_sync_datafiles(): Remove. It was a useless wrapper of os_aio_wait_until_no_pending_writes(). buf_flush_write_complete(): Declare static, not global. Add the parameter IORequest::flush_t. buf_flush_freed_page(): Simplify the code. recv_sys_t::flush_lru: Renamed from flush_type and changed to bool. fil_read(), fil_write(): Replaced with direct use of fil_io(). fil_buffering_disabled(): Remove. Check srv_file_flush_method directly. fil_mutex_enter_and_prepare_for_io(): Return the resolved fil_space_t* to avoid a duplicated lookup in the caller. fil_report_invalid_page_access(): Clean up the parameters. fil_io(): Return fil_io_t, which comprises fil_node_t and error code. Always invoke fil_space_t::acquire_for_io() and let either the sync=true caller or fil_aio_callback() invoke fil_space_t::release_for_io(). fil_aio_callback(): Rewrite to replace buf_page_io_complete(). fil_check_pending_operations(): Remove a parameter, and remove some redundant lookups. fil_node_close_to_free(): Wait for n_pending==0. Because we no longer do an extra lookup of the tablespace between fil_io() and the completion of the operation, we must give fil_node_t::complete_io() a chance to decrement the counter. fil_close_tablespace(): Remove unused parameter trx, and document that this is only invoked during the error handling of IMPORT TABLESPACE. row_import_discard_changes(): Merged with the only caller, row_import_cleanup(). Do not lock up the data dictionary while invoking fil_close_tablespace(). logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown(): Do not invoke fil_close_all_files(), to avoid a !needs_flush assertion failure on fil_node_t::close(). innodb_shutdown(): Invoke os_aio_free() before fil_close_all_files(). fil_close_all_files(): Invoke fil_flush_file_spaces() to ensure proper durability. thread_pool::unbind(): Fix a crash that would occur on Windows after srv_thread_pool->disable_aio() and os_file_close(). This fix was submitted by Vladislav Vaintroub. Thanks to Matthias Leich and Axel Schwenke for extensive testing, Vladislav Vaintroub for helpful comments, and Eugene Kosov for a review.

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

We will also check the io_fix() before acquiring hash_lock in order to avoid unnecessary computation. The field buf_block_t::modify_clock (protected by buf_block_t::lock) allows buf_page_optimistic_get() to validate the block. buf_page_t::real_size: Remove. It was only used while flushing pages of page_compressed tables. buf_page_encrypt(): Add an output parameter that allows us ot eliminate buf_page_t::real_size. Replace a condition with debug assertion. buf_page_should_punch_hole(): Remove. buf_dblwr_t::add_to_batch(): Replaces buf_dblwr_add_to_batch(). Add the parameter size (to replace buf_page_t::real_size). buf_dblwr_t::write_single_page(): Replaces buf_dblwr_write_single_page(). Add the parameter size (to replace buf_page_t::real_size). fil_system_t::detach(): Replaces fil_space_detach(). Ensure that fil_validate() will not be violated even if fil_system.mutex is released and reacquired. fil_node_t::complete_io(): Renamed from fil_node_complete_io(). fil_node_t::close_to_free(): Replaces fil_node_close_to_free(). Avoid invoking fil_node_t::close() because fil_system.n_open has already been decremented in fil_space_t::detach(). BUF_BLOCK_READY_FOR_USE: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_MEMORY. BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_DIRTY: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_PAGE, and distinguish dirty pages by buf_page_t::oldest_modification(). BUF_BLOCK_POOL_WATCH: Remove. Use BUF_BLOCK_NOT_USED instead. This state was only being used for buf_page_t that are in buf_pool.watch. buf_pool_t::watch[]: Remove pointer indirection. buf_page_t::in_flush_list: Remove. It was set if and only if buf_page_t::oldest_modification() is nonzero. buf_page_decrypt_after_read(), buf_corrupt_page_release(), buf_page_check_corrupt(): Change the const fil_space_t* parameter to const fil_node_t& so that we can report the correct file name. buf_page_monitor(): Declare as an ATTRIBUTE_COLD global function. buf_page_io_complete(): Split to buf_page_read_complete() and buf_page_write_complete(). buf_dblwr_t::in_use: Remove. buf_dblwr_t::buf_block_array: Add IORequest::flush_t. buf_dblwr_sync_datafiles(): Remove. It was a useless wrapper of os_aio_wait_until_no_pending_writes(). buf_flush_write_complete(): Declare static, not global. Add the parameter IORequest::flush_t. buf_flush_freed_page(): Simplify the code. recv_sys_t::flush_lru: Renamed from flush_type and changed to bool. fil_read(), fil_write(): Replaced with direct use of fil_io(). fil_buffering_disabled(): Remove. Check srv_file_flush_method directly. fil_mutex_enter_and_prepare_for_io(): Return the resolved fil_space_t* to avoid a duplicated lookup in the caller. fil_report_invalid_page_access(): Clean up the parameters. fil_io(): Return fil_io_t, which comprises fil_node_t and error code. Always invoke fil_space_t::acquire_for_io() and let either the sync=true caller or fil_aio_callback() invoke fil_space_t::release_for_io(). fil_aio_callback(): Rewrite to replace buf_page_io_complete(). fil_check_pending_operations(): Remove a parameter, and remove some redundant lookups. fil_node_close_to_free(): Wait for n_pending==0. Because we no longer do an extra lookup of the tablespace between fil_io() and the completion of the operation, we must give fil_node_t::complete_io() a chance to decrement the counter. fil_close_tablespace(): Remove unused parameter trx, and document that this is only invoked during the error handling of IMPORT TABLESPACE. row_import_discard_changes(): Merged with the only caller, row_import_cleanup(). Do not lock up the data dictionary while invoking fil_close_tablespace(). logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown(): Do not invoke fil_close_all_files(), to avoid a !needs_flush assertion failure on fil_node_t::close(). innodb_shutdown(): Invoke os_aio_free() before fil_close_all_files(). fil_close_all_files(): Invoke fil_flush_file_spaces() to ensure proper durability. thread_pool::unbind(): Fix a crash that would occur on Windows after srv_thread_pool->disable_aio() and os_file_close(). This fix was submitted by Vladislav Vaintroub. Thanks to Matthias Leich and Axel Schwenke for extensive testing, Vladislav Vaintroub for helpful comments, and Eugene Kosov for a review.

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

MDEV-15053 Reduce buf_pool_t::mutex contention User-visible changes: The INFORMATION_SCHEMA views INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE and INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE_LRU will report a dummy value FLUSH_TYPE=0 and will no longer report the PAGE_STATE value READY_FOR_USE. We will remove some fields from buf_page_t and move much code to member functions of buf_pool_t and buf_page_t, so that the access rules of data members can be enforced consistently. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.LRU will remain covered by buf_pool.mutex. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.page_hash will remain covered by both buf_pool.mutex and the buf_pool.page_hash X-latch. After this fix, buf_pool.page_hash lookups can entirely avoid acquiring buf_pool.mutex, only relying on buf_pool.hash_lock_get() S-latch. Similarly, buf_flush_check_neighbors() can will rely solely on buf_pool.mutex, no buf_pool.page_hash latch at all. The buf_pool.mutex is rather contended in I/O heavy benchmarks, especially when the workload does not fit in the buffer pool. The first attempt to alleviate the contention was the buf_pool_t::mutex split in commit 4ed7082eefe56b3e97e0edefb3df76dd7ef5e858 which introduced buf_block_t::mutex, which we are now removing. Later, multiple instances of buf_pool_t were introduced in commit c18084f71b02ea707c6461353e6cfc15d7553bc6 and recently removed by us in commit 1a6f708ec594ac0ae2dd30db926ab07b100fa24b (MDEV-15058). UNIV_BUF_DEBUG: Remove. This option to enable some buffer pool related debugging in otherwise non-debug builds has not been used for years. Instead, we have been using UNIV_DEBUG, which is enabled in CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug. buf_block_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::zip_mutex: Remove. We can mainly rely on std::atomic and the buf_pool.page_hash latches, and in some cases depend on buf_pool.mutex or buf_pool.flush_list_mutex just like before. We must always release buf_block_t::lock before invoking unfix() or io_unfix(), to prevent a glitch where a block that was added to the buf_pool.free list would apper X-latched.

We only need to invoke set_punch_hole() in buf_flush_page() and nowhere else. buf_page_t::flush_type: Remove. Replaced by IORequest::flush_type. This field is only used during a fil_io() call. That function already takes IORequest as a parameter, so we had better introduce for the rarely changing field. buf_block_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init(). buf_page_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init_low(). buf_block_t::initialise(): Initialise many fields, but keep the buf_page_t::state(). Both buf_pool_t::validate() and buf_page_optimistic_get() requires that buf_page_t::in_file() be protected atomically with buf_page_t::in_page_hash and buf_page_t::in_LRU_list. buf_page_optimistic_get(): Now that buf_block_t::mutex no longer exists, we must check buf_page_t::io_fix() after acquiring the buf_pool.page_hash lock, to detect whether buf_page_init_for_read() has been initiated. We will also check the io_fix() before acquiring hash_lock in order to avoid unnecessary computation. The field buf_block_t::modify_clock (protected by buf_block_t::lock) allows buf_page_optimistic_get() to validate the block. buf_page_t::real_size: Remove.

Because we no longer do an extra lookup of the tablespace between fil_io() and the completion of the operation, we must give fil_node_t::complete_io() a chance to decrement the counter. fil_close_tablespace(): Remove unused parameter trx, and document that this is only invoked during the error handling of IMPORT TABLESPACE. row_import_discard_changes(): Merged with the only caller, row_import_cleanup(). Do not lock up the data dictionary while invoking fil_close_tablespace(). logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown(): Do not invoke fil_close_all_files(), to avoid a !needs_flush assertion failure on fil_node_t::close(). innodb_shutdown(): Invoke os_aio_free() before fil_close_all_files(). fil_close_all_files(): Invoke fil_flush_file_spaces() to ensure proper durability. thread_pool::unbind(): Fix a crash that would occur on Windows after srv_thread_pool->disable_aio() and os_file_close(). This fix was submitted by Vladislav Vaintroub. Thanks to Matthias Leich and Axel Schwenke for extensive testing, Vladislav Vaintroub for helpful comments, and Eugene Kosov for a review.

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove.

Incorporates buf_LRU_adjust_hp(), which was removed. buf_page_get_gen(): Remove a redundant call of fsp_is_system_temporary(), for mode == BUF_GET_IF_IN_POOL_OR_WATCH, which is only used by BTR_DELETE_OP (purge), which is never invoked on temporary tables. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Avoid redundant assignments. buf_LRU_free_from_unzip_LRU_list(): Simplify the loop condition. buf_LRU_free_page(): Clarify the function comment. buf_flush_check_neighbor(), buf_flush_check_neighbors(): Rewrite the construction of the page hash range. We will hold the buf_pool.mutex for up to buf_pool.read_ahead_area (at most 64) consecutive lookups of buf_pool.page_hash. buf_flush_page_and_try_neighbors(): Remove. Merge to its only callers, and remove redundant operations in buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(). buf_read_ahead_random(), buf_read_ahead_linear(): Rewrite. Do not acquire buf_pool.mutex, and iterate directly with page_id_t. ut_2_power_up(): Remove. my_round_up_to_next_power() is inlined and avoids any loops. fil_page_get_prev(), fil_page_get_next(), fil_addr_is_null(): Remove. buf_flush_page(): Add a fil_space_t* parameter. Minimize the buf_pool.mutex hold time. buf_pool.n_flush[] is no longer updated atomically with the io_fix, and we will protect most buf_block_t fields with buf_block_t::lock. The function buf_flush_write_block_low() is removed and merged here. buf_page_init_for_read(): Use static linkage. Initialize the newly allocated block and acquire the exclusive buf_block_t::lock while not holding any mutex. IORequest::IORequest(): Remove the body. We only need to invoke set_punch_hole() in buf_flush_page() and nowhere else. buf_page_t::flush_type: Remove. Replaced by IORequest::flush_type. This field is only used during a fil_io() call. That function already takes IORequest as a parameter, so we had better introduce for the rarely changing field. buf_block_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init(). buf_page_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init_low(). buf_block_t::initialise(): Initialise many fields, but keep the buf_page_t::state(). Both buf_pool_t::validate() and buf_page_optimistic_get() requires that buf_page_t::in_file() be protected atomically with buf_page_t::in_page_hash and buf_page_t::in_LRU_list. buf_page_optimistic_get(): Now that buf_block_t::mutex no longer exists, we must check buf_page_t::io_fix() after acquiring the buf_pool.page_hash lock, to detect whether buf_page_init_for_read() has been initiated. We will also check the io_fix() before acquiring hash_lock in order to avoid unnecessary computation. The field buf_block_t::modify_clock (protected by buf_block_t::lock) allows buf_page_optimistic_get() to validate the block. buf_page_t::real_size: Remove. It was only used while flushing pages of page_compressed tables. buf_page_encrypt(): Add an output parameter that allows us ot eliminate buf_page_t::real_size. Replace a condition with debug assertion. buf_page_should_punch_hole(): Remove. buf_dblwr_t::add_to_batch(): Replaces buf_dblwr_add_to_batch(). Add the parameter size (to replace buf_page_t::real_size). buf_dblwr_t::write_single_page(): Replaces buf_dblwr_write_single_page(). Add the parameter size (to replace buf_page_t::real_size). fil_system_t::detach(): Replaces fil_space_detach(). Ensure that fil_validate() will not be violated even if fil_system.mutex is released and reacquired. fil_node_t::complete_io(): Renamed from fil_node_complete_io(). fil_node_t::close_to_free(): Replaces fil_node_close_to_free(). Avoid invoking fil_node_t::close() because fil_system.n_open has already been decremented in fil_space_t::detach(). BUF_BLOCK_READY_FOR_USE: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_MEMORY. BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_DIRTY: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_PAGE, and distinguish dirty pages by buf_page_t::oldest_modification(). BUF_BLOCK_POOL_WATCH: Remove. Use BUF_BLOCK_NOT_USED instead. This state was only being used for buf_page_t that are in buf_pool.watch. buf_pool_t::watch[]: Remove pointer indirection. buf_page_t::in_flush_list: Remove. It was set if and only if buf_page_t::oldest_modification() is nonzero. buf_page_decrypt_after_read(), buf_corrupt_page_release(), buf_page_check_corrupt(): Change the const fil_space_t* parameter to const fil_node_t& so that we can report the correct file name. buf_page_monitor(): Declare as an ATTRIBUTE_COLD global function. buf_page_io_complete(): Split to buf_page_read_complete() and buf_page_write_complete(). buf_dblwr_t::in_use: Remove. buf_dblwr_t::buf_block_array: Add IORequest::flush_t. buf_dblwr_sync_datafiles(): Remove. It was a useless wrapper of os_aio_wait_until_no_pending_writes(). buf_flush_write_complete(): Declare static, not global. Add the parameter IORequest::flush_t. buf_flush_freed_page(): Simplify the code. recv_sys_t::flush_lru: Renamed from flush_type and changed to bool. fil_read(), fil_write(): Replaced with direct use of fil_io(). fil_buffering_disabled(): Remove. Check srv_file_flush_method directly. fil_mutex_enter_and_prepare_for_io(): Return the resolved fil_space_t* to avoid a duplicated lookup in the caller. fil_report_invalid_page_access(): Clean up the parameters. fil_io(): Return fil_io_t, which comprises fil_node_t and error code. Always invoke fil_space_t::acquire_for_io() and let either the sync=true caller or fil_aio_callback() invoke fil_space_t::release_for_io(). fil_aio_callback(): Rewrite to replace buf_page_io_complete(). fil_check_pending_operations(): Remove a parameter, and remove some redundant lookups. fil_node_close_to_free(): Wait for n_pending==0. Because we no longer do an extra lookup of the tablespace between fil_io() and the completion of the operation, we must give fil_node_t::complete_io() a chance to decrement the counter. fil_close_tablespace(): Remove unused parameter trx, and document that this is only invoked during the error handling of IMPORT TABLESPACE. row_import_discard_changes(): Merged with the only caller, row_import_cleanup(). Do not lock up the data dictionary while invoking fil_close_tablespace(). logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown(): Do not invoke fil_close_all_files(), to avoid a !needs_flush assertion failure on fil_node_t::close(). innodb_shutdown(): Invoke os_aio_free() before fil_close_all_files(). fil_close_all_files(): Invoke fil_flush_file_spaces() to ensure proper durability. thread_pool::unbind(): Fix a crash that would occur on Windows after srv_thread_pool->disable_aio() and os_file_close(). This fix was submitted by Vladislav Vaintroub. Thanks to Matthias Leich and Axel Schwenke for extensive testing, Vladislav Vaintroub for helpful comments, and Eugene Kosov for a review.

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

for (;;)
MDEV-15053 Reduce buf_pool_t::mutex contention User-visible changes: The INFORMATION_SCHEMA views INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE and INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE_LRU will report a dummy value FLUSH_TYPE=0 and will no longer report the PAGE_STATE value READY_FOR_USE. We will remove some fields from buf_page_t and move much code to member functions of buf_pool_t and buf_page_t, so that the access rules of data members can be enforced consistently. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.LRU will remain covered by buf_pool.mutex. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.page_hash will remain covered by both buf_pool.mutex and the buf_pool.page_hash X-latch. After this fix, buf_pool.page_hash lookups can entirely avoid acquiring buf_pool.mutex, only relying on buf_pool.hash_lock_get() S-latch. Similarly, buf_flush_check_neighbors() can will rely solely on buf_pool.mutex, no buf_pool.page_hash latch at all. The buf_pool.mutex is rather contended in I/O heavy benchmarks, especially when the workload does not fit in the buffer pool. The first attempt to alleviate the contention was the buf_pool_t::mutex split in commit 4ed7082eefe56b3e97e0edefb3df76dd7ef5e858 which introduced buf_block_t::mutex, which we are now removing. Later, multiple instances of buf_pool_t were introduced in commit c18084f71b02ea707c6461353e6cfc15d7553bc6 and recently removed by us in commit 1a6f708ec594ac0ae2dd30db926ab07b100fa24b (MDEV-15058). UNIV_BUF_DEBUG: Remove. This option to enable some buffer pool related debugging in otherwise non-debug builds has not been used for years. Instead, we have been using UNIV_DEBUG, which is enabled in CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug. buf_block_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::zip_mutex: Remove. We can mainly rely on std::atomic and the buf_pool.page_hash latches, and in some cases depend on buf_pool.mutex or buf_pool.flush_list_mutex just like before. We must always release buf_block_t::lock before invoking unfix() or io_unfix(), to prevent a glitch where a block that was added to the buf_pool.free list would apper X-latched. See commit c5883debd6ef440a037011c11873b396923e93c5 how this glitch was finally caught in a debug environment. We move some buf_pool_t::page_hash specific code from the ha and hash modules to buf_pool, for improved readability. buf_pool_t::close(): Assert that all blocks are clean, except on aborted startup or crash-like shutdown. buf_pool_t::validate(): No longer attempt to validate n_flush[] against the number of BUF_IO_WRITE fixed blocks, because buf_page_t::flush_type no longer exists. buf_pool_t::watch_set(): Replaces buf_pool_watch_set().

Always invoke fil_space_t::acquire_for_io() and let either the sync=true caller or fil_aio_callback() invoke fil_space_t::release_for_io(). fil_aio_callback(): Rewrite to replace buf_page_io_complete(). fil_check_pending_operations(): Remove a parameter, and remove some redundant lookups. fil_node_close_to_free(): Wait for n_pending==0. Because we no longer do an extra lookup of the tablespace between fil_io() and the completion of the operation, we must give fil_node_t::complete_io() a chance to decrement the counter. fil_close_tablespace(): Remove unused parameter trx, and document that this is only invoked during the error handling of IMPORT TABLESPACE. row_import_discard_changes(): Merged with the only caller, row_import_cleanup(). Do not lock up the data dictionary while invoking fil_close_tablespace(). logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown(): Do not invoke fil_close_all_files(), to avoid a !needs_flush assertion failure on fil_node_t::close(). innodb_shutdown(): Invoke os_aio_free() before fil_close_all_files(). fil_close_all_files(): Invoke fil_flush_file_spaces() to ensure proper durability. thread_pool::unbind(): Fix a crash that would occur on Windows after srv_thread_pool->disable_aio() and os_file_close(). This fix was submitted by Vladislav Vaintroub. Thanks to Matthias Leich and Axel Schwenke for extensive testing, Vladislav Vaintroub for helpful comments, and Eugene Kosov for a review.

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

MDEV-15053 Reduce buf_pool_t::mutex contention User-visible changes: The INFORMATION_SCHEMA views INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE and INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE_LRU will report a dummy value FLUSH_TYPE=0 and will no longer report the PAGE_STATE value READY_FOR_USE. We will remove some fields from buf_page_t and move much code to member functions of buf_pool_t and buf_page_t, so that the access rules of data members can be enforced consistently. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.LRU will remain covered by buf_pool.mutex. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.page_hash will remain covered by both buf_pool.mutex and the buf_pool.page_hash X-latch. After this fix, buf_pool.page_hash lookups can entirely avoid acquiring buf_pool.mutex, only relying on buf_pool.hash_lock_get() S-latch. Similarly, buf_flush_check_neighbors() can will rely solely on buf_pool.mutex, no buf_pool.page_hash latch at all. The buf_pool.mutex is rather contended in I/O heavy benchmarks, especially when the workload does not fit in the buffer pool. The first attempt to alleviate the contention was the buf_pool_t::mutex split in commit 4ed7082eefe56b3e97e0edefb3df76dd7ef5e858 which introduced buf_block_t::mutex, which we are now removing. Later, multiple instances of buf_pool_t were introduced in commit c18084f71b02ea707c6461353e6cfc15d7553bc6 and recently removed by us in commit 1a6f708ec594ac0ae2dd30db926ab07b100fa24b (MDEV-15058). UNIV_BUF_DEBUG: Remove. This option to enable some buffer pool related debugging in otherwise non-debug builds has not been used for years. Instead, we have been using UNIV_DEBUG, which is enabled in CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug. buf_block_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::zip_mutex: Remove. We can mainly rely on std::atomic and the buf_pool.page_hash latches, and in some cases depend on buf_pool.mutex or buf_pool.flush_list_mutex just like before. We must always release buf_block_t::lock before invoking unfix() or io_unfix(), to prevent a glitch where a block that was added to the buf_pool.free list would apper X-latched. See commit c5883debd6ef440a037011c11873b396923e93c5 how this glitch was finally caught in a debug environment. We move some buf_pool_t::page_hash specific code from the ha and hash modules to buf_pool, for improved readability. buf_pool_t::close(): Assert that all blocks are clean, except on aborted startup or crash-like shutdown. buf_pool_t::validate(): No longer attempt to validate n_flush[] against the number of BUF_IO_WRITE fixed blocks, because buf_page_t::flush_type no longer exists. buf_pool_t::watch_set(): Replaces buf_pool_watch_set(). Reduce mutex contention by separating the buf_pool.watch[] allocation and the insert into buf_pool.page_hash. buf_pool_t::page_hash_lock<bool exclusive>(): Acquire a buf_pool.page_hash latch. Replaces and extends buf_page_hash_lock_s_confirm() and buf_page_hash_lock_x_confirm(). buf_pool_t::READ_AHEAD_PAGES: Renamed from BUF_READ_AHEAD_PAGES. buf_pool_t::curr_size, old_size, read_ahead_area, n_pend_reads: Use Atomic_counter. buf_pool_t::running_out(): Replaces buf_LRU_buf_pool_running_out(). buf_pool_t::LRU_remove(): Remove a block from the LRU list and return its predecessor. Incorporates buf_LRU_adjust_hp(), which was removed. buf_page_get_gen(): Remove a redundant call of fsp_is_system_temporary(), for mode == BUF_GET_IF_IN_POOL_OR_WATCH, which is only used by BTR_DELETE_OP (purge), which is never invoked on temporary tables. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Avoid redundant assignments. buf_LRU_free_from_unzip_LRU_list(): Simplify the loop condition. buf_LRU_free_page(): Clarify the function comment. buf_flush_check_neighbor(), buf_flush_check_neighbors(): Rewrite the construction of the page hash range. We will hold the buf_pool.mutex for up to buf_pool.read_ahead_area (at most 64) consecutive lookups of buf_pool.page_hash. buf_flush_page_and_try_neighbors(): Remove. Merge to its only callers, and remove redundant operations in buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(). buf_read_ahead_random(), buf_read_ahead_linear(): Rewrite. Do not acquire buf_pool.mutex, and iterate directly with page_id_t. ut_2_power_up(): Remove. my_round_up_to_next_power() is inlined and avoids any loops. fil_page_get_prev(), fil_page_get_next(), fil_addr_is_null(): Remove. buf_flush_page(): Add a fil_space_t* parameter. Minimize the buf_pool.mutex hold time. buf_pool.n_flush[] is no longer updated atomically with the io_fix, and we will protect most buf_block_t fields with buf_block_t::lock. The function buf_flush_write_block_low() is removed and merged here. buf_page_init_for_read(): Use static linkage. Initialize the newly allocated block and acquire the exclusive buf_block_t::lock while not holding any mutex. IORequest::IORequest(): Remove the body. We only need to invoke set_punch_hole() in buf_flush_page() and nowhere else. buf_page_t::flush_type: Remove. Replaced by IORequest::flush_type. This field is only used during a fil_io() call. That function already takes IORequest as a parameter, so we had better introduce for the rarely changing field. buf_block_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init(). buf_page_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init_low(). buf_block_t::initialise(): Initialise many fields, but keep the buf_page_t::state(). Both buf_pool_t::validate() and buf_page_optimistic_get() requires that buf_page_t::in_file() be protected atomically with buf_page_t::in_page_hash and buf_page_t::in_LRU_list. buf_page_optimistic_get(): Now that buf_block_t::mutex no longer exists, we must check buf_page_t::io_fix() after acquiring the buf_pool.page_hash lock, to detect whether buf_page_init_for_read() has been initiated. We will also check the io_fix() before acquiring hash_lock in order to avoid unnecessary computation. The field buf_block_t::modify_clock (protected by buf_block_t::lock) allows buf_page_optimistic_get() to validate the block. buf_page_t::real_size: Remove. It was only used while flushing pages of page_compressed tables. buf_page_encrypt(): Add an output parameter that allows us ot eliminate buf_page_t::real_size. Replace a condition with debug assertion. buf_page_should_punch_hole(): Remove. buf_dblwr_t::add_to_batch(): Replaces buf_dblwr_add_to_batch(). Add the parameter size (to replace buf_page_t::real_size). buf_dblwr_t::write_single_page(): Replaces buf_dblwr_write_single_page(). Add the parameter size (to replace buf_page_t::real_size). fil_system_t::detach(): Replaces fil_space_detach(). Ensure that fil_validate() will not be violated even if fil_system.mutex is released and reacquired. fil_node_t::complete_io(): Renamed from fil_node_complete_io(). fil_node_t::close_to_free(): Replaces fil_node_close_to_free(). Avoid invoking fil_node_t::close() because fil_system.n_open has already been decremented in fil_space_t::detach(). BUF_BLOCK_READY_FOR_USE: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_MEMORY. BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_DIRTY: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_PAGE, and distinguish dirty pages by buf_page_t::oldest_modification(). BUF_BLOCK_POOL_WATCH: Remove. Use BUF_BLOCK_NOT_USED instead. This state was only being used for buf_page_t that are in buf_pool.watch. buf_pool_t::watch[]: Remove pointer indirection. buf_page_t::in_flush_list: Remove. It was set if and only if buf_page_t::oldest_modification() is nonzero. buf_page_decrypt_after_read(), buf_corrupt_page_release(), buf_page_check_corrupt(): Change the const fil_space_t* parameter to const fil_node_t& so that we can report the correct file name. buf_page_monitor(): Declare as an ATTRIBUTE_COLD global function. buf_page_io_complete(): Split to buf_page_read_complete() and buf_page_write_complete(). buf_dblwr_t::in_use: Remove. buf_dblwr_t::buf_block_array: Add IORequest::flush_t. buf_dblwr_sync_datafiles(): Remove. It was a useless wrapper of os_aio_wait_until_no_pending_writes(). buf_flush_write_complete(): Declare static, not global. Add the parameter IORequest::flush_t. buf_flush_freed_page(): Simplify the code. recv_sys_t::flush_lru: Renamed from flush_type and changed to bool. fil_read(), fil_write(): Replaced with direct use of fil_io(). fil_buffering_disabled(): Remove. Check srv_file_flush_method directly. fil_mutex_enter_and_prepare_for_io(): Return the resolved fil_space_t* to avoid a duplicated lookup in the caller. fil_report_invalid_page_access(): Clean up the parameters. fil_io(): Return fil_io_t, which comprises fil_node_t and error code. Always invoke fil_space_t::acquire_for_io() and let either the sync=true caller or fil_aio_callback() invoke fil_space_t::release_for_io(). fil_aio_callback(): Rewrite to replace buf_page_io_complete(). fil_check_pending_operations(): Remove a parameter, and remove some redundant lookups. fil_node_close_to_free(): Wait for n_pending==0. Because we no longer do an extra lookup of the tablespace between fil_io() and the completion of the operation, we must give fil_node_t::complete_io() a chance to decrement the counter. fil_close_tablespace(): Remove unused parameter trx, and document that this is only invoked during the error handling of IMPORT TABLESPACE. row_import_discard_changes(): Merged with the only caller, row_import_cleanup(). Do not lock up the data dictionary while invoking fil_close_tablespace(). logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown(): Do not invoke fil_close_all_files(), to avoid a !needs_flush assertion failure on fil_node_t::close(). innodb_shutdown(): Invoke os_aio_free() before fil_close_all_files(). fil_close_all_files(): Invoke fil_flush_file_spaces() to ensure proper durability. thread_pool::unbind(): Fix a crash that would occur on Windows after srv_thread_pool->disable_aio() and os_file_close(). This fix was submitted by Vladislav Vaintroub. Thanks to Matthias Leich and Axel Schwenke for extensive testing, Vladislav Vaintroub for helpful comments, and Eugene Kosov for a review.

If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub

MDEV-15053 Reduce buf_pool_t::mutex contention User-visible changes: The INFORMATION_SCHEMA views INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE and INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE_LRU will report a dummy value FLUSH_TYPE=0 and will no longer report the PAGE_STATE value READY_FOR_USE. We will remove some fields from buf_page_t and move much code to member functions of buf_pool_t and buf_page_t, so that the access rules of data members can be enforced consistently. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.LRU will remain covered by buf_pool.mutex. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.page_hash will remain covered by both buf_pool.mutex and the buf_pool.page_hash X-latch. After this fix, buf_pool.page_hash lookups can entirely avoid acquiring buf_pool.mutex, only relying on buf_pool.hash_lock_get() S-latch. Similarly, buf_flush_check_neighbors() can will rely solely on buf_pool.mutex, no buf_pool.page_hash latch at all. The buf_pool.mutex is rather contended in I/O heavy benchmarks, especially when the workload does not fit in the buffer pool. The first attempt to alleviate the contention was the buf_pool_t::mutex split in commit 4ed7082eefe56b3e97e0edefb3df76dd7ef5e858 which introduced buf_block_t::mutex, which we are now removing. Later, multiple instances of buf_pool_t were introduced in commit c18084f71b02ea707c6461353e6cfc15d7553bc6 and recently removed by us in commit 1a6f708ec594ac0ae2dd30db926ab07b100fa24b (MDEV-15058). UNIV_BUF_DEBUG: Remove. This option to enable some buffer pool related debugging in otherwise non-debug builds has not been used for years. Instead, we have been using UNIV_DEBUG, which is enabled in CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug. buf_block_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::zip_mutex: Remove. We can mainly rely on std::atomic and the buf_pool.page_hash latches, and in some cases depend on buf_pool.mutex or buf_pool.flush_list_mutex just like before. We must always release buf_block_t::lock before invoking unfix() or io_unfix(), to prevent a glitch where a block that was added to the buf_pool.free list would apper X-latched. See commit c5883debd6ef440a037011c11873b396923e93c5 how this glitch was finally caught in a debug environment. We move some buf_pool_t::page_hash specific code from the ha and hash modules to buf_pool, for improved readability. buf_pool_t::close(): Assert that all blocks are clean, except on aborted startup or crash-like shutdown. buf_pool_t::validate(): No longer attempt to validate n_flush[] against the number of BUF_IO_WRITE fixed blocks, because buf_page_t::flush_type no longer exists. buf_pool_t::watch_set(): Replaces buf_pool_watch_set(). Reduce mutex contention by separating the buf_pool.watch[] allocation and the insert into buf_pool.page_hash. buf_pool_t::page_hash_lock<bool exclusive>(): Acquire a buf_pool.page_hash latch. Replaces and extends buf_page_hash_lock_s_confirm() and buf_page_hash_lock_x_confirm(). buf_pool_t::READ_AHEAD_PAGES: Renamed from BUF_READ_AHEAD_PAGES. buf_pool_t::curr_size, old_size, read_ahead_area, n_pend_reads: Use Atomic_counter. buf_pool_t::running_out(): Replaces buf_LRU_buf_pool_running_out(). buf_pool_t::LRU_remove(): Remove a block from the LRU list and return its predecessor. Incorporates buf_LRU_adjust_hp(), which was removed. buf_page_get_gen(): Remove a redundant call of fsp_is_system_temporary(), for mode == BUF_GET_IF_IN_POOL_OR_WATCH, which is only used by BTR_DELETE_OP (purge), which is never invoked on temporary tables. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Avoid redundant assignments. buf_LRU_free_from_unzip_LRU_list(): Simplify the loop condition. buf_LRU_free_page(): Clarify the function comment. buf_flush_check_neighbor(), buf_flush_check_neighbors(): Rewrite the construction of the page hash range. We will hold the buf_pool.mutex for up to buf_pool.read_ahead_area (at most 64) consecutive lookups of buf_pool.page_hash. buf_flush_page_and_try_neighbors(): Remove. Merge to its only callers, and remove redundant operations in buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(). buf_read_ahead_random(), buf_read_ahead_linear(): Rewrite. Do not acquire buf_pool.mutex, and iterate directly with page_id_t. ut_2_power_up(): Remove. my_round_up_to_next_power() is inlined and avoids any loops. fil_page_get_prev(), fil_page_get_next(), fil_addr_is_null(): Remove. buf_flush_page(): Add a fil_space_t* parameter. Minimize the buf_pool.mutex hold time. buf_pool.n_flush[] is no longer updated atomically with the io_fix, and we will protect most buf_block_t fields with buf_block_t::lock. The function buf_flush_write_block_low() is removed and merged here. buf_page_init_for_read(): Use static linkage. Initialize the newly allocated block and acquire the exclusive buf_block_t::lock while not holding any mutex. IORequest::IORequest(): Remove the body. We only need to invoke set_punch_hole() in buf_flush_page() and nowhere else. buf_page_t::flush_type: Remove. Replaced by IORequest::flush_type. This field is only used during a fil_io() call. That function already takes IORequest as a parameter, so we had better introduce for the rarely changing field. buf_block_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init(). buf_page_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init_low(). buf_block_t::initialise(): Initialise many fields, but keep the buf_page_t::state(). Both buf_pool_t::validate() and buf_page_optimistic_get() requires that buf_page_t::in_file() be protected atomically with buf_page_t::in_page_hash and buf_page_t::in_LRU_list. buf_page_optimistic_get(): Now that buf_block_t::mutex no longer exists, we must check buf_page_t::io_fix() after acquiring the buf_pool.page_hash lock, to detect whether buf_page_init_for_read() has been initiated. We will also check the io_fix() before acquiring hash_lock in order to avoid unnecessary computation. The field buf_block_t::modify_clock (protected by buf_block_t::lock) allows buf_page_optimistic_get() to validate the block. buf_page_t::real_size: Remove. It was only used while flushing pages of page_compressed tables. buf_page_encrypt(): Add an output parameter that allows us ot eliminate buf_page_t::real_size. Replace a condition with debug assertion. buf_page_should_punch_hole(): Remove. buf_dblwr_t::add_to_batch(): Replaces buf_dblwr_add_to_batch().

Always invoke fil_space_t::acquire_for_io() and let either the sync=true caller or fil_aio_callback() invoke fil_space_t::release_for_io(). fil_aio_callback(): Rewrite to replace buf_page_io_complete(). fil_check_pending_operations(): Remove a parameter, and remove some redundant lookups. fil_node_close_to_free(): Wait for n_pending==0. Because we no longer do an extra lookup of the tablespace between fil_io() and the completion of the operation, we must give fil_node_t::complete_io() a chance to decrement the counter. fil_close_tablespace(): Remove unused parameter trx, and document that this is only invoked during the error handling of IMPORT TABLESPACE. row_import_discard_changes(): Merged with the only caller, row_import_cleanup(). Do not lock up the data dictionary while invoking fil_close_tablespace(). logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown(): Do not invoke fil_close_all_files(), to avoid a !needs_flush assertion failure on fil_node_t::close(). innodb_shutdown(): Invoke os_aio_free() before fil_close_all_files(). fil_close_all_files(): Invoke fil_flush_file_spaces() to ensure proper durability. thread_pool::unbind(): Fix a crash that would occur on Windows after srv_thread_pool->disable_aio() and os_file_close().

/* We request frame here to get correct buffer in case of

MDEV-23855: Remove fil_system.LRU and reduce fil_system.mutex contention Also fixes MDEV-23929: innodb_flush_neighbors is not being ignored for system tablespace on SSD When the maximum configured number of file is exceeded, InnoDB will close data files. We used to maintain a fil_system.LRU list and a counter fil_node_t::n_pending to achieve this, at the huge cost of multiple fil_system.mutex operations per I/O operation. fil_node_open_file_low(): Implement a FIFO replacement policy: The last opened file will be moved to the end of fil_system.space_list, and files will be closed from the start of the list. However, we will not move tablespaces in fil_system.space_list while i_s_tablespaces_encryption_fill_table() is executing (producing output for INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_TABLESPACES_ENCRYPTION) because it may cause information of some tablespaces to go missing. We also avoid this in mariabackup --backup because datafiles_iter_next() assumes that the ordering is not changed. IORequest: Fold more parameters to IORequest::type. fil_space_t::io(): Replaces fil_io(). fil_space_t::flush(): Replaces fil_flush(). OS_AIO_IBUF: Remove. We will always issue synchronous reads of the change buffer pages in buf_read_page_low(). We will always ignore some errors for background reads. This should reduce fil_system.mutex contention a little. fil_node_t::complete_write(): Replaces fil_node_t::complete_io(). On both read and write completion, fil_space_t::release_for_io() will have to be called. fil_space_t::io(): Do not acquire fil_system.mutex in the normal code path. xb_delta_open_matching_space(): Do not try to open the system tablespace which was already opened.

void *frame= buf_page_get_frame(request.bpage);
MDEV-15053 Reduce buf_pool_t::mutex contention User-visible changes: The INFORMATION_SCHEMA views INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE and INNODB_BUFFER_PAGE_LRU will report a dummy value FLUSH_TYPE=0 and will no longer report the PAGE_STATE value READY_FOR_USE. We will remove some fields from buf_page_t and move much code to member functions of buf_pool_t and buf_page_t, so that the access rules of data members can be enforced consistently. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.LRU will remain covered by buf_pool.mutex. Evicting or adding pages in buf_pool.page_hash will remain covered by both buf_pool.mutex and the buf_pool.page_hash X-latch. After this fix, buf_pool.page_hash lookups can entirely avoid acquiring buf_pool.mutex, only relying on buf_pool.hash_lock_get() S-latch. Similarly, buf_flush_check_neighbors() can will rely solely on buf_pool.mutex, no buf_pool.page_hash latch at all. The buf_pool.mutex is rather contended in I/O heavy benchmarks, especially when the workload does not fit in the buffer pool. The first attempt to alleviate the contention was the buf_pool_t::mutex split in commit 4ed7082eefe56b3e97e0edefb3df76dd7ef5e858 which introduced buf_block_t::mutex, which we are now removing. Later, multiple instances of buf_pool_t were introduced in commit c18084f71b02ea707c6461353e6cfc15d7553bc6 and recently removed by us in commit 1a6f708ec594ac0ae2dd30db926ab07b100fa24b (MDEV-15058). UNIV_BUF_DEBUG: Remove. This option to enable some buffer pool related debugging in otherwise non-debug builds has not been used for years. Instead, we have been using UNIV_DEBUG, which is enabled in CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug. buf_block_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::zip_mutex: Remove. We can mainly rely on std::atomic and the buf_pool.page_hash latches, and in some cases depend on buf_pool.mutex or buf_pool.flush_list_mutex just like before. We must always release buf_block_t::lock before invoking unfix() or io_unfix(), to prevent a glitch where a block that was added to the buf_pool.free list would apper X-latched. See commit c5883debd6ef440a037011c11873b396923e93c5 how this glitch was finally caught in a debug environment. We move some buf_pool_t::page_hash specific code from the ha and hash modules to buf_pool, for improved readability. buf_pool_t::close(): Assert that all blocks are clean, except on aborted startup or crash-like shutdown. buf_pool_t::validate(): No longer attempt to validate n_flush[] against the number of BUF_IO_WRITE fixed blocks, because buf_page_t::flush_type no longer exists. buf_pool_t::watch_set(): Replaces buf_pool_watch_set(). Reduce mutex contention by separating the buf_pool.watch[] allocation and the insert into buf_pool.page_hash. buf_pool_t::page_hash_lock<bool exclusive>(): Acquire a buf_pool.page_hash latch. Replaces and extends buf_page_hash_lock_s_confirm() and buf_page_hash_lock_x_confirm(). buf_pool_t::READ_AHEAD_PAGES: Renamed from BUF_READ_AHEAD_PAGES. buf_pool_t::curr_size, old_size, read_ahead_area, n_pend_reads: Use Atomic_counter. buf_pool_t::running_out(): Replaces buf_LRU_buf_pool_running_out(). buf_pool_t::LRU_remove(): Remove a block from the LRU list and return its predecessor. Incorporates buf_LRU_adjust_hp(), which was removed. buf_page_get_gen(): Remove a redundant call of fsp_is_system_temporary(), for mode == BUF_GET_IF_IN_POOL_OR_WATCH, which is only used by BTR_DELETE_OP (purge), which is never invoked on temporary tables. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Avoid redundant assignments. buf_LRU_free_from_unzip_LRU_list(): Simplify the loop condition. buf_LRU_free_page(): Clarify the function comment. buf_flush_check_neighbor(), buf_flush_check_neighbors(): Rewrite the construction of the page hash range. We will hold the buf_pool.mutex for up to buf_pool.read_ahead_area (at most 64) consecutive lookups of buf_pool.page_hash. buf_flush_page_and_try_neighbors(): Remove. Merge to its only callers, and remove redundant operations in buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(). buf_read_ahead_random(), buf_read_ahead_linear(): Rewrite. Do not acquire buf_pool.mutex, and iterate directly with page_id_t. ut_2_power_up(): Remove. my_round_up_to_next_power() is inlined and avoids any loops. fil_page_get_prev(), fil_page_get_next(), fil_addr_is_null(): Remove. buf_flush_page(): Add a fil_space_t* parameter. Minimize the buf_pool.mutex hold time. buf_pool.n_flush[] is no longer updated atomically with the io_fix, and we will protect most buf_block_t fields with buf_block_t::lock. The function buf_flush_write_block_low() is removed and merged here. buf_page_init_for_read(): Use static linkage. Initialize the newly allocated block and acquire the exclusive buf_block_t::lock while not holding any mutex. IORequest::IORequest(): Remove the body. We only need to invoke set_punch_hole() in buf_flush_page() and nowhere else. buf_page_t::flush_type: Remove. Replaced by IORequest::flush_type. This field is only used during a fil_io() call. That function already takes IORequest as a parameter, so we had better introduce for the rarely changing field. buf_block_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init(). buf_page_t::init(): Replaces buf_page_init_low(). buf_block_t::initialise(): Initialise many fields, but keep the buf_page_t::state(). Both buf_pool_t::validate() and buf_page_optimistic_get() requires that buf_page_t::in_file() be protected atomically with buf_page_t::in_page_hash and buf_page_t::in_LRU_list. buf_page_optimistic_get(): Now that buf_block_t::mutex no longer exists, we must check buf_page_t::io_fix() after acquiring the buf_pool.page_hash lock, to detect whether buf_page_init_for_read() has been initiated. We will also check the io_fix() before acquiring hash_lock in order to avoid unnecessary computation. The field buf_block_t::modify_clock (protected by buf_block_t::lock) allows buf_page_optimistic_get() to validate the block. buf_page_t::real_size: Remove. It was only used while flushing pages of page_compressed tables. buf_page_encrypt(): Add an output parameter that allows us ot eliminate buf_page_t::real_size. Replace a condition with debug assertion. buf_page_should_punch_hole(): Remove. buf_dblwr_t::add_to_batch(): Replaces buf_dblwr_add_to_batch(). Add the parameter size (to replace buf_page_t::real_size). buf_dblwr_t::write_single_page(): Replaces buf_dblwr_write_single_page(). Add the parameter size (to replace buf_page_t::real_size). fil_system_t::detach(): Replaces fil_space_detach(). Ensure that fil_validate() will not be violated even if fil_system.mutex is released and reacquired. fil_node_t::complete_io(): Renamed from fil_node_complete_io(). fil_node_t::close_to_free(): Replaces fil_node_close_to_free(). Avoid invoking fil_node_t::close() because fil_system.n_open has already been decremented in fil_space_t::detach(). BUF_BLOCK_READY_FOR_USE: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_MEMORY. BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_DIRTY: Remove. Directly use BUF_BLOCK_ZIP_PAGE, and distinguish dirty pages by buf_page_t::oldest_modification(). BUF_BLOCK_POOL_WATCH: Remove. Use BUF_BLOCK_NOT_USED instead. This state was only being used for buf_page_t that are in buf_pool.watch. buf_pool_t::watch[]: Remove pointer indirection. buf_page_t::in_flush_list: Remove. It was set if and only if buf_page_t::oldest_modification() is nonzero. buf_page_decrypt_after_read(), buf_corrupt_page_release(), buf_page_check_corrupt(): Change the const fil_space_t* parameter to const fil_node_t& so that we can report the correct file name. buf_page_monitor(): Declare as an ATTRIBUTE_COLD global function. buf_page_io_complete(): Split to buf_page_read_complete() and buf_page_write_complete(). buf_dblwr_t::in_use: Remove. buf_dblwr_t::buf_block_array: Add IORequest::flush_t. buf_dblwr_sync_datafiles(): Remove. It was a useless wrapper of os_aio_wait_until_no_pending_writes(). buf_flush_write_complete(): Declare static, not global. Add the parameter IORequest::flush_t. buf_flush_freed_page(): Simplify the code. recv_sys_t::flush_lru: Renamed from flush_type and changed to bool. fil_read(), fil_write(): Replaced with direct use of fil_io(). fil_buffering_disabled(): Remove. Check srv_file_flush_method directly. fil_mutex_enter_and_prepare_for_io(): Return the resolved fil_space_t* to avoid a duplicated lookup in the caller. fil_report_invalid_page_access(): Clean up the parameters. fil_io(): Return fil_io_t, which comprises fil_node_t and error code. Always invoke fil_space_t::acquire_for_io() and let either the sync=true caller or fil_aio_callback() invoke fil_space_t::release_for_io(). fil_aio_callback(): Rewrite to replace buf_page_io_complete(). fil_check_pending_operations(): Remove a parameter, and remove some redundant lookups. fil_node_close_to_free(): Wait for n_pending==0. Because we no longer do an extra lookup of the tablespace between fil_io() and the completion of the operation, we must give fil_node_t::complete_io() a chance to decrement the counter. fil_close_tablespace(): Remove unused parameter trx, and document that this is only invoked during the error handling of IMPORT TABLESPACE. row_import_discard_changes(): Merged with the only caller, row_import_cleanup(). Do not lock up the data dictionary while invoking fil_close_tablespace(). logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown(): Do not invoke fil_close_all_files(), to avoid a !needs_flush assertion failure on fil_node_t::close(). innodb_shutdown(): Invoke os_aio_free() before fil_close_all_files(). fil_close_all_files(): Invoke fil_flush_file_spaces() to ensure proper durability. thread_pool::unbind(): Fix a crash that would occur on Windows after srv_thread_pool->disable_aio() and os_file_close().

MDEV-23399: Performance regression with write workloads The buffer pool refactoring in MDEV-15053 and MDEV-22871 shifted the performance bottleneck to the page flushing. The configuration parameters will be changed as follows: innodb_lru_flush_size=32 (new: how many pages to flush on LRU eviction) innodb_lru_scan_depth=1536 (old: 1024) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=90 (old: 75) innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=75 (old: 0) Note: The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth will only affect LRU eviction of buffer pool pages when a new page is being allocated. The page cleaner thread will no longer evict any pages. It used to guarantee that some pages will remain free in the buffer pool. Now, we perform that eviction 'on demand' in buf_LRU_get_free_block(). The parameter innodb_lru_scan_depth(srv_LRU_scan_depth) is used as follows: * When the buffer pool is being shrunk in buf_pool_t::withdraw_blocks() * As a buf_pool.free limit in buf_LRU_list_batch() for terminating the flushing that is initiated e.g., by buf_LRU_get_free_block() The parameter also used to serve as an initial limit for unzip_LRU eviction (evicting uncompressed page frames while retaining ROW_FORMAT=COMPRESSED pages), but now we will use a hard-coded limit of 100 or unlimited for invoking buf_LRU_scan_and_free_block(). The status variables will be changed as follows: innodb_buffer_pool_pages_flushed: This includes also the count of innodb_buffer_pool_pages_LRU_flushed and should work reliably, updated one by one in buf_flush_page() to give more real-time statistics. The function buf_flush_stats(), which we are removing, was not called in every code path. For both counters, we will use regular variables that are incremented in a critical section of buf_pool.mutex. Note that show_innodb_vars() directly links to the variables, and reads of the counters will *not* be protected by buf_pool.mutex, so you cannot get a consistent snapshot of both variables. The following INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters will be removed, because the page cleaner no longer deals with writing or evicting least recently used pages, and because the single-page writes have been removed: * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_slot * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_thread * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_time_est * buffer_LRU_batch_flush_avg_pass * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned * buffer_LRU_single_flush_num_scan * buffer_LRU_single_flush_scanned_per_call When moving to a single buffer pool instance in MDEV-15058, we missed some opportunity to simplify the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. It was unnecessarily using a mutex and some complex data structures, even though we always have a single page cleaner thread. Furthermore, the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread had separate 'recovery' and 'shutdown' modes where it was waiting to be triggered by some other thread, adding unnecessary latency and potential for hangs in relatively rarely executed startup or shutdown code. The page cleaner was also running two kinds of batches in an interleaved fashion: "LRU flush" (writing out some least recently used pages and evicting them on write completion) and the normal batches that aim to increase the MIN(oldest_modification) in the buffer pool, to help the log checkpoint advance. The buf_pool.flush_list flushing was being blocked by buf_block_t::lock for no good reason. Furthermore, if the FIL_PAGE_LSN of a page is ahead of log_sys.get_flushed_lsn(), that is, what has been persistently written to the redo log, we would trigger a log flush and then resume the page flushing. This would unnecessarily limit the performance of the page cleaner thread and trigger the infamous messages "InnoDB: page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took 4450ms. The settings might not be optimal" that were suppressed in commit d1ab89037a518fcffbc50c24e4bd94e4ec33aed0 unless log_warnings>2. Our revised algorithm will make log_sys.get_flushed_lsn() advance at the start of buf_flush_lists(), and then execute a 'best effort' to write out all pages. The flush batches will skip pages that were modified since the log was written, or are are currently exclusively locked. The MDEV-13670 message "page_cleaner: 1000ms intended loop took" message will be removed, because by design, the buf_flush_page_cleaner() should not be blocked during a batch for extended periods of time. We will remove the single-page flushing altogether. Related to this, the debug parameter innodb_doublewrite_batch_size will be removed, because all of the doublewrite buffer will be used for flushing batches. If a page needs to be evicted from the buffer pool and all 100 least recently used pages in the buffer pool have unflushed changes, buf_LRU_get_free_block() will execute buf_flush_lists() to write out and evict innodb_lru_flush_size pages. At most one thread will execute buf_flush_lists() in buf_LRU_get_free_block(); other threads will wait for that LRU flushing batch to finish. To improve concurrency, we will replace the InnoDB ib_mutex_t and os_event_t native mutexes and condition variables in this area of code. Most notably, this means that the buffer pool mutex (buf_pool.mutex) is no longer instrumented via any InnoDB interfaces. It will continue to be instrumented via PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA. For now, both buf_pool.flush_list_mutex and buf_pool.mutex will be declared with MY_MUTEX_INIT_FAST (PTHREAD_MUTEX_ADAPTIVE_NP). The critical sections of buf_pool.flush_list_mutex should be shorter than those for buf_pool.mutex, because in the worst case, they cover a linear scan of buf_pool.flush_list, while the worst case of a critical section of buf_pool.mutex covers a linear scan of the potentially much longer buf_pool.LRU list. mysql_mutex_is_owner(), safe_mutex_is_owner(): New predicate, usable with SAFE_MUTEX. Some InnoDB debug assertions need this predicate instead of mysql_mutex_assert_owner() or mysql_mutex_assert_not_owner(). buf_pool_t::n_flush_LRU, buf_pool_t::n_flush_list: Replaces buf_pool_t::init_flush[] and buf_pool_t::n_flush[]. The number of active flush operations. buf_pool_t::mutex, buf_pool_t::flush_list_mutex: Use mysql_mutex_t instead of ib_mutex_t, to have native mutexes with PERFORMANCE_SCHEMA and SAFE_MUTEX instrumentation. buf_pool_t::done_flush_LRU: Condition variable for !n_flush_LRU. buf_pool_t::done_flush_list: Condition variable for !n_flush_list. buf_pool_t::do_flush_list: Condition variable to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner when a log checkpoint needs to be written or the server is being shut down. Replaces buf_flush_event. We will keep using timed waits (the page cleaner thread will wake _at least_ once per second), because the calculations for innodb_adaptive_flushing depend on fixed time intervals. buf_dblwr: Allocate statically, and move all code to member functions. Use a native mutex and condition variable. Remove code to deal with single-page flushing. buf_dblwr_check_block(): Make the check debug-only. We were spending a significant amount of execution time in page_simple_validate_new(). flush_counters_t::unzip_LRU_evicted: Remove. IORequest: Make more members const. FIXME: m_fil_node should be removed. buf_flush_sync_lsn: Protect by std::atomic, not page_cleaner.mutex (which we are removing). page_cleaner_slot_t, page_cleaner_t: Remove many redundant members. pc_request_flush_slot(): Replaces pc_request() and pc_flush_slot(). recv_writer_thread: Remove. Recovery works just fine without it, if we simply invoke buf_flush_sync() at the end of each batch in recv_sys_t::apply(). recv_recovery_from_checkpoint_finish(): Remove. We can simply call recv_sys.debug_free() directly. srv_started_redo: Replaces srv_start_state. SRV_SHUTDOWN_FLUSH_PHASE: Remove. logs_empty_and_mark_files_at_shutdown() can communicate with the normal page cleaner loop via the new function flush_buffer_pool(). buf_flush_remove(): Assert that the calling thread is holding buf_pool.flush_list_mutex. This removes unnecessary mutex operations from buf_flush_remove_pages() and buf_flush_dirty_pages(), which replace buf_LRU_flush_or_remove_pages(). buf_flush_lists(): Renamed from buf_flush_batch(), with simplified interface. Return the number of flushed pages. Clarified comments and renamed min_n to max_n. Identify LRU batch by lsn=0. Merge all the functions buf_flush_start(), buf_flush_batch(), buf_flush_end() directly to this function, which was their only caller, and remove 2 unnecessary buf_pool.mutex release/re-acquisition that we used to perform around the buf_flush_batch() call. At the start, if not all log has been durably written, wait for a background task to do it, or start a new task to do it. This allows the log write to run concurrently with our page flushing batch. Any pages that were skipped due to too recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or due to them being latched by a writer should be flushed during the next batch, unless there are further modifications to those pages. It is possible that a page that we must flush due to small oldest_modification also carries a recent FIL_PAGE_LSN or is being constantly modified. In the worst case, all writers would then end up waiting in log_free_check() to allow the flushing and the checkpoint to complete. buf_do_flush_list_batch(): Clarify comments, and rename min_n to max_n. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_flush_space(): Auxiliary function to look up a tablespace for page flushing. buf_flush_page(): Defer the computation of space->full_crc32(). Never call log_write_up_to(), but instead skip persistent pages whose latest modification (FIL_PAGE_LSN) is newer than the redo log. Also skip pages on which we cannot acquire a shared latch without waiting. buf_flush_try_neighbors(): Do not bother checking buf_fix_count because buf_flush_page() will no longer wait for the page latch. Take the tablespace as a parameter, and only execute this function when innodb_flush_neighbors>0. Avoid repeated calls of page_id_t::fold(). buf_flush_relocate_on_flush_list(): Declare as cold, and push down a condition from the callers. buf_flush_check_neighbor(): Take id.fold() as a parameter. buf_flush_sync(): Ensure that the buf_pool.flush_list is empty, because the flushing batch will skip pages whose modifications have not yet been written to the log or were latched for modification. buf_free_from_unzip_LRU_list_batch(): Remove redundant local variables. buf_flush_LRU_list_batch(): Let the caller buf_do_LRU_batch() initialize the counters, and report n->evicted. Cache the last looked up tablespace. If neighbor flushing is not applicable, invoke buf_flush_page() directly, avoiding a page lookup in between. buf_do_LRU_batch(): Return the number of pages flushed. buf_LRU_free_page(): Only release and re-acquire buf_pool.mutex if adaptive hash index entries are pointing to the block. buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Do not wake up the page cleaner, because it will no longer perform any useful work for us, and we do not want it to compete for I/O while buf_flush_lists(innodb_lru_flush_size, 0) writes out and evicts at most innodb_lru_flush_size pages. (The function buf_do_LRU_batch() may complete after writing fewer pages if more than innodb_lru_scan_depth pages end up in buf_pool.free list.) Eliminate some mutex release-acquire cycles, and wait for the LRU flush batch to complete before rescanning. buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects(): Simplify the code. buf_page_write_complete(): Remove the parameter evict, and always evict pages that were part of an LRU flush. buf_page_create(): Take a pre-allocated page as a parameter. buf_pool_t::free_block(): Free a pre-allocated block. recv_sys_t::recover_low(), recv_sys_t::apply(): Preallocate the block while not holding recv_sys.mutex. During page allocation, we may initiate a page flush, which in turn may initiate a log flush, which would require acquiring log_sys.mutex, which should always be acquired before recv_sys.mutex in order to avoid deadlocks. Therefore, we must not be holding recv_sys.mutex while allocating a buffer pool block. BtrBulk::logFreeCheck(): Skip a redundant condition. row_undo_step(): Do not invoke srv_inc_activity_count() for every row that is being rolled back. It should suffice to invoke the function in trx_flush_log_if_needed() during trx_t::commit_in_memory() when the rollback completes. sync_check_enable(): Remove. We will enable innodb_sync_debug from the very beginning. Reviewed by: Vladislav Vaintroub
