BUF_LRU_MIN_LEN (256) is too high value for low buffer pool(BP) size.
For example, for BP size lower than 80M and 16 K page size, the limit is
more than 5% of total BP and for lowest BP 5M, it is 80% of the BP.
Non-data objects like explicit locks could occupy part of the BP pool
reducing the pages available for LRU. If LRU reaches minimum limit and
if no free pages are available, server would hang with page cleaner not
able to free any more pages.
Fix: To avoid such hang, we adjust the LRU limit lower than the limit
for data objects as checked in buf_LRU_check_size_of_non_data_objects()
i.e. one page less than 5% of BP.
Because the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 core repository does not include
libpmem, let us implement the necessary subset ourselves.
pmem_persist(): Implement for 64-bit x86, ARM, POWER, RISC-V, Loongarch
in a way that should be compatible with the https://github.com/pmem/pmdk/
implementation of pmem_persist().
The CMake option WITH_INNODB_PMEM can be used for enabling or disabling
this interface at compile time. By default, it is enabled on all applicable
systems that are covered by our CI system.
Note: libpmem had not been previously enabled for Loongarch in our
Debian packaging. It was enabled for RISC-V, but we will not enable it
by default on RISC-V or Loongarch because we lack CI coverage.
The generated code for x86_64 was reviewed and tested on two
Intel implementations: one that only supports clflush, and
another that supports both clflushopt and clwb.
The generated machine code was also reviewed on https://godbolt.org
using various compiler versions. Godbolt helpfully includes an option
to compile to binary code and display the encoding, which was
useful on POWER.

In commit 24648768b4 (MDEV-30136)
the parameter innodb_flush_method was deprecated, with no direct
replacement for innodb_flush_method=O_DIRECT_NO_FSYNC.
Let us change innodb_doublewrite from Boolean to ENUM that can
be changed while the server is running:
OFF: Assume that writes of innodb_page_size are atomic
ON: Prevent torn writes (the default)
fast: Like ON, but avoid synchronizing writes to data files
The deprecated start-up parameter innodb_flush_method=NO_FSYNC will cause
innodb_doublewrite=ON to be changed to innodb_doublewrite=fast,
which will prevent InnoDB from making any durable writes to data files.
This would normally be done right before the log checkpoint LSN is updated.
Depending on the file systems being used and their configuration,
this may or may not be safe.
The value innodb_doublewrite=fast differs from the previous combination of
innodb_doublewrite=ON and innodb_flush_method=O_DIRECT_NO_FSYNC by always
invoking os_file_flush() on the doublewrite buffer itself
in buf_dblwr_t::flush_buffered_writes_completed(). This should be safer
when there are multiple doublewrite batches between checkpoints.
Typically, once per second, buf_flush_page_cleaner() would write out
up to innodb_io_capacity pages and advance the log checkpoint.
Also typically, innodb_io_capacity>128, which is the size of the
doublewrite buffer in pages. Should os_file_flush_func() not be invoked
between doublewrite batches, writes could be reordered in an unsafe way.
The setting innodb_doublewrite=fast could be safe when the doublewrite
buffer (the first file of the system tablespace) and the data files
reside in the same file system.
This was tested by running "./mtr --rr innodb.alter_kill". On the first
server startup, with innodb_doublewrite=fast, os_file_flush_func()
would only be invoked on the ibdata1 file and possibly ib_logfile0.
On subsequent startups with innodb_doublewrite=OFF, os_file_flush_func()
will be invoked on the individual data files during log_checkpoint().
Note: The setting debug_no_sync (in the code, my_disable_sync) would
disable all durable writes to InnoDB files, which would be much less safe.
IORequest::Type: Introduce special values WRITE_DBL and PUNCH_DBL
for asynchronous writes that are submitted via the doublewrite buffer.
In this way, fil_space_t::use_doublewrite() or buf_dblwr.in_use()
will only be consulted during buf_page_t::flush() and the doublewrite
buffer can be enabled or disabled without any fear of inconsistency.
buf_dblwr_t::block_size: Replaces block_size().
buf_dblwr_t::flush_buffered_writes(): If !in_use() and the doublewrite
buffer is empty, just invoke fil_flush_file_spaces() and return. The
doublewrite buffer could have been disabled while a batch was in
progress.
innodb_init_params(): If innodb_flush_method=O_DIRECT_NO_FSYNC,
set innodb_doublewrite=fast or innodb_doublewrite=fearless.

By design, InnoDB has always hung when permanently running out of
buffer pool, for example when several threads are waiting to allocate
a block, and all of the buffer pool is buffer-fixed by the active threads.
The hang that we are fixing here occurs when the buffer pool is only
temporarily running out and the situation could be rescued by writing out
some dirty pages or evicting some clean pages.
buf_LRU_get_free_block(): Simplify the way how we wait for
the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread. This fixes occasional hangs
of the test encryption.innochecksum that were introduced by
commit a55b951e60 (MDEV-26827).
To play it safe, we use a timed wait when waiting for the
buf_flush_page_cleaner() thread to perform its job. Should that
thread get stuck, we will invoke buf_pool.LRU_warn() in order to
display a message that pages could not be freed, and keep trying
to wake up the buf_flush_page_cleaner() thread.
The INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_METRICS counters
buffer_LRU_single_flush_failure_count and
buffer_LRU_get_free_waits will be removed.
The latter is represented by buffer_pool_wait_free.
Also removed will be the message
"InnoDB: Difficult to find free blocks in the buffer pool"
because in d34479dc66 we
introduced a more precise message
"InnoDB: Could not free any blocks in the buffer pool"
in the buf_flush_page_cleaner thread.
buf_pool_t::LRU_warn(): Issue the warning message that we could
not free any blocks in the buffer pool. This may also be invoked

evict=false. The only caller will be the buf_flush_page_cleaner()
thread.
IORequest::is_LRU(): Remove. The only case of evicting pages on
write completion will be when we are writing out pages of the
temporary tablespace. Those pages are not in buf_pool.flush_list,
only in buf_pool.LRU.
buf_page_t::flush(): Remove the parameter evict.
buf_page_t::write_complete(): Change the parameter "bool temporary"
to "bool persistent" and add a parameter for an already read state().

The log_sys.lsn_lock is a very contended resource with a small
critical section in log_sys.append_prepare(). On many processor
microarchitectures, replacing the system call based log_sys.lsn_lock
with a pure spin lock would fare worse during high concurrency workloads,
wasting a significant amount of CPU cycles in the spin loop.
On other microarchitectures, we would see a significant amount of time
being spent in native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath() in the Linux kernel,
plus context switching between user and kernel address space. This was
pointed out by Steve Shaw from Intel Corporation.
Depending on the workload and the hardware implementation, it may be
useful to use a pure spin lock in log_sys.append_prepare().
We will introduce a parameter. The statement
SET GLOBAL INNODB_LOG_SPIN_WAIT_DELAY=50;
would enable a spin lock that will execute that many MY_RELAX_CPU()
operations (such as the x86 PAUSE instruction) between successive
attempts of acquiring the spin lock. The use of a system call based
log_sys.lsn_lock (which is the default setting) can be enabled by
SET GLOBAL INNODB_LOG_SPIN_WAIT_DELAY=0;
This patch will also introduce #ifdef LOG_LATCH_DEBUG
(part of cmake -DWITH_INNODB_EXTRA_DEBUG=ON) for more accurate
tracking of log_sys.latch ownership and reorganize the fields of
log_sys to improve the locality of reference and to reduce the
chances of false sharing.
When a spin lock is being used, it will be maintained in the
most significant bit of log_sys.buf_free. This is useful, because that is
one of the fields that is covered by the lock. For IA-32 or AMD64, we
implement the spin lock specially via log_t::lsn_lock_bts(), employing the
i386 LOCK BTS instruction. A straightforward std::atomic::fetch_or() would
translate into an inefficient loop around LOCK CMPXCHG.
mtr_t::spin_wait_delay: The value of innodb_log_spin_wait_delay.
mtr_t::finisher: Pointer to the currently used mtr_t::finish_write()
implementation. This allows to avoid introducing conditional branches.
We no longer invoke log_sys.is_pmem() at the mini-transaction level,
but we would do that in log_write_up_to().
mtr_t::finisher_update(): Update finisher when spin_wait_delay is
changed from or to 0 (the spin lock is changed to log_sys.lsn_lock or
vice versa).
buf_flush_page_cleaner(): Remove a loop that had originally been added

Starting with commit d34479dc66 (MDEV-33053)
this loop would cause a significant performance regression in workloads
where buf_pool.need_LRU_eviction() constantly holds in
buf_flush_page_cleaner().

When innodb_undo_log_truncate=ON causes an InnoDB undo tablespace
to be truncated, we must guarantee that the undo tablespace will
be rebuilt atomically: After mtr_t::commit_shrink() has durably
written the mini-transaction that rebuilds the undo tablespace,
we must not write any old pages to the tablespace.
To guarantee this, in trx_purge_truncate_history() we used to
traverse the entire buf_pool.flush_list in order to acquire
exclusive latches on all pages for the undo tablespace that
reside in the buffer pool, so that those pages cannot be written
and will be evicted during mtr_t::commit_shrink(). But, this
traversal may interfere with the page writing activity of
buf_flush_page_cleaner(). It would be better to lazily discard
the old pages of the truncated undo tablespace.

Adaptive flushing is enabled by setting innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm>0
(not default) and innodb_adaptive_flushing=ON (default).
There is also the parameter innodb_adaptive_flushing_lwm

adaptive flushing even when innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm=0.
That is not being changed here.
This idea was first presented by Inaam Rana several years ago,
and I discussed it with Jean-François Gagné at FOSDEM 2023.

1. fil_delete_tablespace() set the fil_space_t::STOPPING flag
2. The buf_flush_page_cleaner() thread discards some changed pages for
this tablespace advances the log checkpoint a little.
3. The server process is killed before fil_delete_tablespace() wrote
a FILE_DELETE record.
4. Recovery will try to apply log to pages of the tablespace, because
there was no FILE_DELETE record. This will fail, because some pages
that had been modified since the latest checkpoint had not been written

Page writes must not be stopped before a FILE_DELETE record has been
