We will remove the InnoDB background operation of merging buffered
changes to secondary index leaf pages. Changes will only be merged as a
result of an operation that accesses a secondary index leaf page,
such as a SQL statement that performs a lookup via that index,
or is modifying the index. Also ROLLBACK and some background operations,
such as purging the history of committed transactions, or computing
index cardinality statistics, can cause change buffer merge.
Encryption key rotation will not perform change buffer merge.
The motivation of this change is to simplify the I/O logic and to
allow crash recovery to happen in the background (MDEV-14481).
We also hope that this will reduce the number of "mystery" crashes
due to corrupted data. Because change buffer merge will typically
take place as a result of executing SQL statements, there should be
a clearer connection between the crash and the SQL statements that
were executed when the server crashed.
In many cases, a slight performance improvement was observed.
This is joint work with Thirunarayanan Balathandayuthapani
and was tested by Axel Schwenke and Matthias Leich.
The InnoDB monitor counter innodb_ibuf_merge_usec will be removed.
On slow shutdown (innodb_fast_shutdown=0), we will continue to
merge all buffered changes (and purge all undo log history).
Two InnoDB configuration parameters will be changed as follows:
innodb_disable_background_merge: Removed.
This parameter existed only in debug builds.
All change buffer merges will use synchronous reads.
innodb_force_recovery will be changed as follows:
* innodb_force_recovery=4 will be the same as innodb_force_recovery=3
(the change buffer merge cannot be disabled; it can only happen as
a result of an operation that accesses a secondary index leaf page).
The option used to be capable of corrupting secondary index leaf pages.
Now that capability is removed, and innodb_force_recovery=4 becomes 'safe'.
* innodb_force_recovery=5 (which essentially hard-wires
SET GLOBAL TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ UNCOMMITTED)
becomes safe to use. Bogus data can be returned to SQL, but
persistent InnoDB data files will not be corrupted further.
* innodb_force_recovery=6 (ignore the redo log files)
will be the only option that can potentially cause
persistent corruption of InnoDB data files.
Code changes:
buf_page_t::ibuf_exist: New flag, to indicate whether buffered
changes exist for a buffer pool page. Pages with pending changes
can be returned by buf_page_get_gen(). Previously, the changes
were always merged inside buf_page_get_gen() if needed.
ibuf_page_exists(const buf_page_t&): Check if a buffered changes
exist for an X-latched or read-fixed page.
buf_page_get_gen(): Add the parameter allow_ibuf_merge=false.
All callers that know that they may be accessing a secondary index
leaf page must pass this parameter as allow_ibuf_merge=true,
unless it does not matter for that caller whether all buffered
changes have been applied. Assert that whenever allow_ibuf_merge
holds, the page actually is a leaf page. Attempt change buffer
merge only to secondary B-tree index leaf pages.
btr_block_get(): Add parameter 'bool merge'.
All callers of btr_block_get() should know whether the page could be
a secondary index leaf page. If it is not, we should avoid consulting
the change buffer bitmap to even consider a merge. This is the main
interface to requesting index pages from the buffer pool.
ibuf_merge_or_delete_for_page(), recv_recover_page(): Replace
buf_page_get_known_nowait() with much simpler logic, because
it is now guaranteed that that the block is x-latched or read-fixed.
mlog_init_t::mark_ibuf_exist(): Renamed from mlog_init_t::ibuf_merge().
On crash recovery, we will no longer merge any buffered changes
for the pages that we read into the buffer pool during the last batch
of applying log records.
buf_page_get_gen_known_nowait(), BUF_MAKE_YOUNG, BUF_KEEP_OLD: Remove.
btr_search_guess_on_hash(): Merge buf_page_get_gen_known_nowait()
to its only remaining caller.
buf_page_make_young_if_needed(): Define as an inline function.
Add the parameter buf_pool.
buf_page_peek_if_young(), buf_page_peek_if_too_old(): Add the
parameter buf_pool.
fil_space_validate_for_mtr_commit(): Remove a bogus comment
about background merge of the change buffer.
btr_cur_open_at_rnd_pos_func(), btr_cur_search_to_nth_level_func(),
btr_cur_open_at_index_side_func(): Use narrower data types and scopes.
ibuf_read_merge_pages(): Replaces buf_read_ibuf_merge_pages().
Merge the change buffer by invoking buf_page_get_gen().
Shorten some VARCHAR attributes to a more reasonable length.
INNODB_METRICS: Rename the column STATUS to ENABLED, and make it Boolean.
Replace with INT(1) many Boolean attributes that were declared as VARCHAR
containing 'NO','YES','disabled','enabled','Uninitialized','Initialized'.
Replace some VARCHAR attributes with ENUM.
Replace some BIGINT with INT when 32 bits are sufficient.
Remove INNODB_SYS_TABLESPACES.SPACE_TYPE. The type of a tablespace
can be derived from the tablespace ID. A fixed number is used for
the system tablespace and the temporary tablespace. All other tablespaces
are single-table or single-partition tablespaces.
i_s_locks_row_t::lock_type, lock_get_type_str(): Remove.
This is a redundant field. Table and record locks can be
distinguished by whether i_s_locks_row_t::lock_index is NULL.
fill_trx_row(): Do not unnecessarily copy the constant strings that
trx->op_info is pointing to.
i_s_locks_row_t::lock_mode: Replace string with integer.
lock_get_mode_str(), lock_get_trx_id(), lock_get_trx(): Remove.
field_store_ulint(): Remove.
Try to fix the race conditions between
SET GLOBAL innodb_ft_aux_table = ...;
and access to the INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables that depend on
this variable.
innodb_ft_aux_table: Replaces
fts_internal_tbl_name,fts_internal_tbl_name2. Just store the
user-specified parameter as is.
innodb_ft_aux_table_id: The table_id corresponding to
SET GLOBAL innodb_ft_aux_table, or 0 if the table does not exist
or does not contain FULLTEXT INDEX. If the table is renamed later,
the INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables will continue to refer to the table.
If the table is dropped or rebuilt, the INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables
will not find the table.
For tablespaces that do not reside on spinning storage, it does
not make sense to attempt to write nearby pages when writing out
dirty pages from the InnoDB buffer pool. It is actually detrimental
to performance and to the life span of flash ROM storage.
With this change, MariaDB will detect whether an InnoDB file resides
on solid-state storage. The detection has been implemented for Linux
and Microsoft Windows. For other systems, we will err on the safe side
and assume that files reside on SSD.
As part of this change, we will reduce the number of fstat() calls
when opening data files on POSIX systems and slightly clean up some
file I/O code.
FIXME: os_is_sparse_file_supported() on POSIX works in a destructive
manner. Thus, we can only invoke it when creating files, not when
opening them.
For diagnostics, we introduce the column ON_SSD to the table
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_TABLESPACES_SCRUBBING. The table
INNODB_SYS_TABLESPACES might seem more appropriate, but its purpose
is to reflect the contents of the InnoDB system table SYS_TABLESPACES,
which we would like to remove at some point.
On Microsoft Windows, querying StorageDeviceSeekPenaltyProperty
sometimes returns ERROR_GEN_FAILURE instead of ERROR_INVALID_FUNCTION
or ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED. We will silently ignore also this error,
and assume that the file does not reside on SSD.
On Linux, the detection will be based on the files
/sys/block/*/queue/rotational and /sys/block/*/dev.
Especially for USB storage, it is possible that
/sys/block/*/queue/rotational will wrongly report 1 instead of 0.
fil_node_t::on_ssd: Whether the InnoDB data file resides on
solid-state storage.
fil_system_t::ssd: Collection of Linux block devices that reside on
non-rotational storage.
fil_system_t::create(): Detect ssd on Linux based on the contents
of /sys/block/*/queue/rotational and /sys/block/*/dev.
fil_system_t::is_ssd(dev_t): Determine if a Linux block device is
non-rotational. Partitions will be identified with the containing
block device by assuming that the least significant 4 bits of the
minor number identify a partition, and that the "partition number"
of the entire device is 0.
MDEV-9931 introduced a counter for keeping track of reads of the
first page of InnoDB data files, because the original implementation
of data-at-rest-encryption for InnoDB introduced new code paths for
reading the pages.
Ultimately, the extra reads of the first page were removed, and
the encryption subsystem will be initialized whenever we first read
the first page of each data file, in fil_node_open_file(). It should not
be that interesting to observe how many times an InnoDB data file was
opened for the first time.
The following options will be removed:
innodb_file_format
innodb_file_format_check
innodb_file_format_max
innodb_large_prefix
They have been deprecated in MySQL 5.7.7 (and MariaDB 10.2.2) in WL#7703.
The file_format column in two INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables will be removed:
innodb_sys_tablespaces
innodb_sys_tables
Code to update the file format tag at the end of page 0:5
(TRX_SYS_PAGE in the InnoDB system tablespace) will be removed.
When initializing a new database, the bytes will remain 0.
All references to the Barracuda file format will be removed.
Some references to the Antelope file format (meaning
ROW_FORMAT=REDUNDANT or ROW_FORMAT=COMPACT) will remain.
This basically ports WL#7704 from MySQL 8.0.0 to MariaDB 10.3.1:
commit 4a69dc2a95995501ed92d59a1de74414a38540c6

MDEV-11581: Mariadb starts InnoDB encryption threads
when key has not changed or data scrubbing turned off
Background: Key rotation is based on background threads
(innodb-encryption-threads) periodically going through
all tablespaces on fil_system. For each tablespace
current used key version is compared to max key age
(innodb-encryption-rotate-key-age). This process
naturally takes CPU. Similarly, in same time need for
scrubbing is investigated. Currently, key rotation
is fully supported on Amazon AWS key management plugin
only but InnoDB does not have knowledge what key
management plugin is used.
This patch re-purposes innodb-encryption-rotate-key-age=0
to disable key rotation and background data scrubbing.
All new tables are added to special list for key rotation
and key rotation is based on sending a event to
background encryption threads instead of using periodic
checking (i.e. timeout).
fil0fil.cc: Added functions fil_space_acquire_low()
to acquire a tablespace when it could be dropped concurrently.
This function is used from fil_space_acquire() or
fil_space_acquire_silent() that will not print
any messages if we try to acquire space that does not exist.
fil_space_release() to release a acquired tablespace.
fil_space_next() to iterate tablespaces in fil_system
using fil_space_acquire() and fil_space_release().
Similarly, fil_space_keyrotation_next() to iterate new
list fil_system->rotation_list where new tables.
are added if key rotation is disabled.
Removed unnecessary functions fil_get_first_space_safe()
fil_get_next_space_safe()
fil_node_open_file(): After page 0 is read read also
crypt_info if it is not yet read.
btr_scrub_lock_dict_func()
buf_page_check_corrupt()
buf_page_encrypt_before_write()
buf_merge_or_delete_for_page()
lock_print_info_all_transactions()
row_fts_psort_info_init()
row_truncate_table_for_mysql()
row_drop_table_for_mysql()
Use fil_space_acquire()/release() to access fil_space_t.
buf_page_decrypt_after_read():
Use fil_space_get_crypt_data() because at this point
we might not yet have read page 0.
fil0crypt.cc/fil0fil.h: Lot of changes. Pass fil_space_t* directly
to functions needing it and store fil_space_t* to rotation state.
Use fil_space_acquire()/release() when iterating tablespaces
and removed unnecessary is_closing from fil_crypt_t. Use
fil_space_t::is_stopping() to detect when access to
tablespace should be stopped. Removed unnecessary
fil_space_get_crypt_data().
fil_space_create(): Inform key rotation that there could
be something to do if key rotation is disabled and new
table with encryption enabled is created.
Remove unnecessary functions fil_get_first_space_safe()
and fil_get_next_space_safe(). fil_space_acquire()
and fil_space_release() are used instead. Moved
fil_space_get_crypt_data() and fil_space_set_crypt_data()
to fil0crypt.cc.
fsp_header_init(): Acquire fil_space_t*, write crypt_data
and release space.
check_table_options()
Renamed FIL_SPACE_ENCRYPTION_* TO FIL_ENCRYPTION_*
i_s.cc: Added ROTATING_OR_FLUSHING field to
information_schema.innodb_tablespace_encryption
to show current status of key rotation.
Because the default build configuration of the server will remain
at -DWITH_INNODB_AHI=ON, we want to test the instrumentation.
We make and revert the test adjustments in separate commits on purpose,
so that this commit can be easily reverted later if the default
build configuration is changed to -DWITH_INNODB_AHI=OFF.
The InnoDB adaptive hash index is sometimes degrading the performance of
InnoDB, and it is sometimes disabled to get more consistent performance.
We should have a compile-time option to disable the adaptive hash index.
Let us introduce two options:
OPTION(WITH_INNODB_AHI "Include innodb_adaptive_hash_index" ON)
OPTION(WITH_INNODB_ROOT_GUESS "Cache index root block descriptors" ON)
where WITH_INNODB_AHI always implies WITH_INNODB_ROOT_GUESS.
As part of this change, the misleadingly named function
trx_search_latch_release_if_reserved(trx) will be replaced with the macro
trx_assert_no_search_latch(trx) that will be empty unless
BTR_CUR_HASH_ADAPT is defined (cmake -DWITH_INNODB_AHI=ON).
We will also remove the unused column
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.INNODB_TRX.TRX_ADAPTIVE_HASH_TIMEOUT.
In MariaDB Server 10.1, it used to reflect the value of
trx_t::search_latch_timeout which could be adjusted during
row_search_for_mysql(). In 10.2, there is no such field.
Other than the removal of the unused column TRX_ADAPTIVE_HASH_TIMEOUT,
this is an almost non-functional change to the server when using the
default build options.
Some tests are adjusted so that they will work with both
-DWITH_INNODB_AHI=ON and -DWITH_INNODB_AHI=OFF. The test
innodb.innodb_monitor has been renamed to innodb.monitor
in order to track MySQL 5.7, and the duplicate tests
sys_vars.innodb_monitor_* are removed.
Problem was that implementation merged from 10.1 was incompatible
with InnoDB 5.7.
buf0buf.cc: Add functions to return should we punch hole and
how big.
buf0flu.cc: Add written page to IORequest
fil0fil.cc: Remove unneeded status call and add test is
sparse files and punch hole supported by file system when
tablespace is created. Add call to get file system
block size. Used file node is added to IORequest. Added
functions to check is punch hole supported and setting
punch hole.
ha_innodb.cc: Remove unneeded status variables (trim512-32768)
and trim_op_saved. Deprecate innodb_use_trim and
set it ON by default. Add function to set innodb-use-trim
dynamically.
dberr.h: Add error code DB_IO_NO_PUNCH_HOLE
if punch hole operation fails.
fil0fil.h: Add punch_hole variable to fil_space_t and
block size to fil_node_t.
os0api.h: Header to helper functions on buf0buf.cc and
fil0fil.cc for os0file.h
os0file.h: Remove unneeded m_block_size from IORequest
and add bpage to IORequest to know actual size of
the block and m_fil_node to know tablespace file
system block size and does it support punch hole.
os0file.cc: Add function punch_hole() to IORequest
to do punch_hole operation,
get the file system block size and determine
does file system support sparse files (for punch hole).
page0size.h: remove implicit copy disable and
use this implicit copy to implement copy_from()
function.
buf0dblwr.cc, buf0flu.cc, buf0rea.cc, fil0fil.cc, fil0fil.h,
os0file.h, os0file.cc, log0log.cc, log0recv.cc:
Remove unneeded write_size parameter from fil_io
calls.
srv0mon.h, srv0srv.h, srv0mon.cc: Remove unneeded
trim512-trim32678 status variables. Removed
these from monitor tests.
Problem was that information schema tables innodb_tablespaces_encryption and
innodb_tablespaces_scrubbing where missing required check is InnoDB enabled
or not.
