At the start of mariadb-backup --backup, trigger a flush of the
InnoDB buffer pool, so that as little log as possible will have
to be copied.
The previously debug-build-only interface
SET GLOBAL innodb_log_checkpoint_now=ON;
will be made available on all builds, and
mariadb-backup --backup will invoke it, unless the option
--skip-innodb-log-checkpoint-now is specified.

As part of commit 685d958e38 (MDEV-14425)
the parameter innodb_log_write_ahead_size was removed, because it was
thought that determining the physical block size would be a sufficient
replacement.
However, we can only determine the physical block size on Linux or
Microsoft Windows. On some file systems, the physical block size
is not relevant. For example, XFS uses a block size of 4096 bytes
even if the underlying block size may be smaller.
On Linux, we failed to determine the physical block size if
innodb_log_file_buffered=OFF was not requested or possible.
This will be fixed.
log_sys.write_size: The value of the reintroduced parameter
innodb_log_write_ahead_size. To keep it simple, this is read-only
and a power of two between 512 and 4096 bytes, so that the previous
alignment guarantees are fulfilled. This will replace the previous
log_sys.get_block_size().
log_sys.block_size, log_t::get_block_size(): Remove.
log_t::set_block_size(): Ensure that write_size will not be less
than the physical block size. There is no point to invoke this
function with 512 or less, because that is the minimum value of
write_size.
innodb_params_adjust(): Add some disabled code for adjusting
the minimum value and default value of innodb_log_write_ahead_size
to reflect the log_sys.write_size.
log_t::set_recovered(): Mark the recovery completed. This is the
place to adjust some things if we want to allow write_size>4096.
log_t::resize_write_buf(): Refer to write_size.
log_t::resize_start(): Refer to write_size instead of get_block_size().
log_write_buf(): Simplify some arithmetics and remove a goto.
log_t::write_buf(): Refer to write_size. If we are writing less than
that, do not switch buffers, but keep writing to the same buffer.
Move some code to improve the locality of reference.
recv_scan_log(): Refer to write_size instead of get_block_size().
os_file_create_func(): For type==OS_LOG_FILE on Linux, always invoke
os_file_log_maybe_unbuffered(), so that log_sys.set_block_size() will
be invoked even if we are not attempting to use O_DIRECT.
recv_sys_t::find_checkpoint(): Read the entire log header
in a single 12 KiB request into log_sys.buf.
Tested with:
./mtr --loose-innodb-log-write-ahead-size=4096
./mtr --loose-innodb-log-write-ahead-size=2048
Added support to BACKUP STAGE to maria-backup
This is a port of the code from ES 10.6
See MDEV-5336 for backup stages description.
The following old options are not supported by the new code:
--rsync ; This is because rsync will not work on tables
that are in used.
--no-backup-locks ; This is disabled as mariadb-backup will always
use backup locks for better performance.
mariabackup does not load dictionary during backup, but it loads
tablespaces, that is why fil_system.max_assigned_id is not set with
dict_check_tablespaces_and_store_max_id(). There is no sense to issue the
warning during backup.
InnoDB I/O and buffer pool interfaces and the redo log format
have been changed between MariaDB 10.1 and 10.2, and the backup
code has to be adjusted accordingly.
The code has been simplified, and many memory leaks have been fixed.
Instead of the file name xtrabackup_logfile, the file name ib_logfile0
is being used for the copy of the redo log. Unnecessary InnoDB startup and
shutdown and some unnecessary threads have been removed.
Some help was provided by Vladislav Vaintroub.
Parameters have been cleaned up and aligned with those of MariaDB 10.2.
The --dbug option has been added, so that in debug builds,
--dbug=d,ib_log can be specified to enable diagnostic messages
for processing redo log entries.
By default, innodb_doublewrite=OFF, so that --prepare works faster.
If more crash-safety for --prepare is needed, double buffering
can be enabled.
The parameter innodb_log_checksums=OFF can be used to ignore redo log
checksums in --backup.
Some messages have been cleaned up.
Unless --export is specified, Mariabackup will not deal with undo log.
The InnoDB mini-transaction redo log is not only about user-level
transactions; it is actually about mini-transactions. To avoid confusion,
call it the redo log, not transaction log.
We disable any undo log processing in --prepare.
Because MariaDB 10.2 supports indexed virtual columns, the
undo log processing would need to be able to evaluate virtual column
expressions. To reduce the amount of code dependencies, we will not
process any undo log in prepare.
This means that the --export option must be disabled for now.
This also means that the following options are redundant
and have been removed:
xtrabackup --apply-log-only
innobackupex --redo-only
In addition to disabling any undo log processing, we will disable any
further changes to data pages during --prepare, including the change
buffer merge. This means that restoring incremental backups should
reliably work even when change buffering is being used on the server.
Because of this, preparing a backup will not generate any further
redo log, and the redo log file can be safely deleted. (If the
--export option is enabled in the future, it must generate redo log
when processing undo logs and buffered changes.)
In --prepare, we cannot easily know if a partial backup was used,
especially when restoring a series of incremental backups. So, we
simply warn about any missing files, and ignore the redo log for them.
FIXME: Enable the --export option.
FIXME: Improve the handling of the MLOG_INDEX_LOAD record, and write
a test that initiates a backup while an ALGORITHM=INPLACE operation
is creating indexes or rebuilding a table. An error should be detected
when preparing the backup.
FIXME: In --incremental --prepare, xtrabackup_apply_delta() should
ensure that if FSP_SIZE is modified, the file size will be adjusted
accordingly.
The option was basically duplicating InnoDB functionality.
Persistent statistics can be accessed via the tables
mysql.innodb_table_stats and mysql.innodb_index_stats.
