Typically, index_lock and fil_space_t::latch will be held for a longer
time than the spin loop in latch acquisition would be waiting for.
Let us avoid spin loops for those as well as dict_sys.latch, which
could be held in exclusive mode for a longer time (while loading
metadata into the buffer pool and the dictionary cache).
Performance testing on a dual Intel Xeon E5-2630 v4 (2 NUMA nodes)
suggests that the buffer pool page latch (block_lock) benefits from a
spin loop in both read-only and read-write workloads where the working
set is slightly larger than the buffer pool. Presumably, most contention
would occur on leaf page latches. Contention on upper level pages in
the buffer pool should intuitively last longer.
We introduce srw_spin_lock and srw_spin_mutex to allow users of
srw_lock or srw_mutex to opt in for the spin loop.
On Microsoft Windows, a spin loop variant was and will not be available;
srw_mutex and srw_lock will simply wrap SRWLOCK.
That is, on Microsoft Windows, the parameters innodb_sync_spin_loops
and innodb_spin_wait_delay will only affect block_lock.
In the SUX_LOCK_GENERIC implementation, we can remember at most
one pending exclusive lock request. If multiple exclusive lock
requests are pending, the WRITER_WAITING flag will be cleared when
the first waiting writer acquires the exclusive lock.
ssux_lock_low::update_lock(): If WRITER_WAITING is set, wake up
the writer even if the UPDATER flag is set, because the waiting
writer may be in the process of upgrading its U lock to X.
rw_lock::read_unlock(): Also indicate that an X lock waiter must
be woken up if an U lock exists.
This fix may cause unnecessary wake-ups and system calls, but this
is the best that we can do. Ideally we would use the MDEV-25404
idea of a separate 'writer' mutex, but there is no portable way to
request that a non-recursive mutex be created, and InnoDB requires
the ability to transfer buf_block_t::lock ownership to an I/O thread.
To allow problems like this to be caught more reliably in the future,
we add a unit test for srw_mutex, srw_lock, ssux_lock, sux_lock.
