Previously the support functions assumed that the caller needed one pin
to make progress, and could optionally use some more, allowing enough
for every connection to do the same. Add a couple more functions for
callers that want to know:
* what the maximum possible number could be, irrespective of currently
held pins, for space planning purposes
* how many additional pins they could acquire right now, without the
special case allowing one pin, for callers that already hold pins and
could already make progress even if no extra pins are available
The pin limit logic began in commit 31966b15. This refactoring is
better suited to read_stream.c, which will be adjusted to respect the
remaining limit as it changes over time in a follow-up commit. It also
computes MaxProportionalPins up front, to avoid performing divisions
whenever a caller needs to check the balance.

This commit is a rework of 2421e9a51d, about which Andres Freund has
raised some concerns as it is valuable to have both track_io_timing and
track_wal_io_timing in some cases, as the WAL write and fsync paths can
be a major bottleneck for some workloads. Hence, it can be relevant to
not calculate the WAL timings in environments where pg_test_timing
performs poorly while capturing some IO data under track_io_timing for
the non-WAL IO paths. The opposite can be also true: it should be
possible to disable the non-WAL timings and enable the WAL timings (the
previous GUC setups allowed this possibility).
track_wal_io_timing is added back in this commit, controlling if WAL
timings should be calculated in pg_stat_io for the read, fsync and write
paths, as done previously with pg_stat_wal. pg_stat_wal previously
tracked only the sync and write parts (now removed), read stats is new
data tracked in pg_stat_io, all three are aggregated if
track_wal_io_timing is enabled. The read part matters during recovery
or if a XLogReader is used.
Extra note: more control over if the types of timings calculated in
pg_stat_io could be done with a GUC that lists pairs of (IOObject,IOOp).

For AIO, and also some other recent patches, we need the ability to call
relpath() in a critical section. Until now that was not feasible, as it
allocated memory.
The fact that relpath() allocated memory also made it awkward to use in log
messages because we had to take care to free the memory afterwards. Which we
e.g. didn't do for when zeroing out an invalid buffer.
We discussed other solutions, e.g. filling a pre-allocated buffer that's
passed to relpath(), but they all came with plenty downsides or were larger
projects. The easiest fix seems to be to make relpath() return the path by
value.
To be able to return the path by value we need to determine the maximum length
of a relation path. This patch adds a long #define that computes the exact
maximum, which is verified to be correct in a regression test.
As this change the signature of relpath(), extensions using it will need to
adapt their code. We discussed leaving a backward-compat shim in place, but
decided it's not worth it given the use of relpath() doesn't seem widespread.

The four following attributes are removed from pg_stat_wal:
* wal_write
* wal_sync
* wal_write_time
* wal_sync_time
a051e71e28 has added an equivalent of this information in pg_stat_io
with more granularity as this now spreads across the backend types, IO
context and IO objects. So, keeping the same information in pg_stat_wal
has little benefits.
Another benefit of this commit is the removal of PendingWalStats,
simplifying an upcoming patch to add per-backend WAL statistics, which
already support IO statistics and which have access to the write/sync
stats data of WAL.
The GUC track_wal_io_timing, that was used to enable or disable the

When considering a local buffer, the GetBufferDescriptor() call in
BufferGetLSNAtomic() would be retrieving a shared buffer with a bad
buffer ID. Since the code checks whether the buffer is shared before
using the retrieved BufferDesc, this issue did not lead to any

These functions tried to check the state of the buffer's content lock
even for local buffers. Since we don't use the content lock for a
local buffer, that would lead to a "false" result from
LWLockHeldByMeInMode, which would mean a misleading "false" answer
from BufferIsExclusiveLocked (we'd rather that case always return
"true") or an assertion failure in BufferIsDirty.
The core code never applies these two functions to local buffers,
and apparently no extensions do either, since we've not heard
complaints. Still, in the name of future-proofing, let's fix
them to act as though a pinned local buffer is content-locked.

Currently in pg_stat_io view, IOs are counted as blocks of size
BLCKSZ. There are two limitations with this design:
* The actual number of I/O requests sent to the kernel is lower because
I/O requests may be merged before being sent. Additionally, it gives
the impression that all I/Os are done in block size, which shadows the
benefits of merging I/O requests.
* Some patches are under work to extend pg_stat_io for the tracking of
operations that may not be linked to the block size. For example, WAL
read IOs are done in variable bytes and it is not possible to correctly
show these IOs in pg_stat_io view, and we want to keep all this data in
a single system view rather than spread it across multiple relations to
ease monitoring.
WaitReadBuffers() can now be tracked as a single read operation
worth N blocks. Same for ExtendBufferedRelShared() and
ExtendBufferedRelLocal() for extensions.
Three columns are added to pg_stat_io for reads, writes and extensions
for the byte calculations. op_bytes, which was always hardcoded to
BLCKSZ, is removed. IO backend statistics are updated to reflect these
changes.

The pgstat_count_io_op() function, which counts a single I/O operation,
wraps pgstat_count_io_op_n() with a counter value of 1. The latter is

This change makes also the code more symmetric with

With real AIO it doesn't make sense to cross segment boundaries with one
IO. Add smgrmaxcombine() to allow upper layers to query which buffers can be
merged.
We could continue to cross segment boundaries when not using AIO, but it
doesn't really make sense, because md.c will never be able to perform the read
across the segment boundary in one system call. Which means we'll mark more
buffers as undergoing IO than really makes sense - if another backend desires
to read the same blocks, it'll be blocked longer than necessary. So it seems
better to just never cross the boundary.

VACUUM soon needs to write back data it dirtied only 32 blocks ago,
which usually requires flushing the WAL. New experiments in prefetching
pages for VACUUM exacerbated the problem by crashing into dirty data
even sooner. Let's make the default 2MB. That's 1.6% of the default

Previously, binaryheap didn't support updating a key and removing a
node in an efficient way. For example, in order to remove a node from
the binaryheap, the caller had to pass the node's position within the
array that the binaryheap internally has. Removing a node from the
binaryheap is done in O(log n) but searching for the key's position is
done in O(n).
This commit adds a hash table to binaryheap in order to track the
position of each nodes in the binaryheap. That way, by using newly
added functions such as binaryheap_update_up() etc., both updating a
key and removing a node can be done in O(1) on an average and O(log n)
in worst case. This is known as the indexed binary heap. The caller
can specify to use the indexed binaryheap by passing indexed = true.
The current code does not use the new indexing logic, but it will be
used by an upcoming patch.

Break ReadBuffer() up into two steps. StartReadBuffers() and
WaitReadBuffers() give us two main advantages:
1. Multiple consecutive blocks can be read with one system call.
2. Advice (hints of future reads) can optionally be issued to the

The traditional ReadBuffer() function is now implemented in terms of
those functions, to avoid duplication.
A new GUC io_combine_limit is defined, and the functions for limiting
per-backend pin counts are made into public APIs. Those are provided
for use by callers of StartReadBuffers(), when deciding how many buffers
to read at once. The following commit will add a higher level mechanism
for doing that automatically with a practical interface.
With some more infrastructure in later work, StartReadBuffers() could
be extended to start real asynchronous I/O instead of just issuing
advice and leaving WaitReadBuffers() to do the work synchronously.

to use the result, because various code paths including cache
invalidation could call smgrclose(), which freed the memory.
Guarantee that the object won't be destroyed until the end of the
current transaction, or in recovery, the commit/abort record that
destroys the underlying storage.
smgrclose() is now just an alias for smgrrelease(). It closes files
and forgets all state except the rlocator, but keeps the SMgrRelation
object valid.
A new smgrdestroy() function is used by rare places that know there
should be no other references to the SMgrRelation.
The short version:
* smgrclose() is now just an alias for smgrrelease(). It releases
resources, but doesn't destroy until EOX
* smgrdestroy() now frees memory, and should rarely be used.
Existing code should be unaffected, but it is now possible for code that
has an SMgrRelation object to use it repeatedly during a transaction as
long as the storage hasn't been physically dropped. Such code would
normally hold a lock on the relation.
This also replaces the "ownership" mechanism of SMgrRelations with a
pin counter. An SMgrRelation can now be "pinned", which prevents it
from being destroyed at end of transaction. There can be multiple pins
on the same SMgrRelation. In practice, the pin mechanism is only used
by the relcache, so there cannot be more than one pin on the same
SMgrRelation. Except with swap_relation_files XXX

Instead of having a separate array/hash for each resource kind, use a
single array and hash to hold all kinds of resources. This makes it
possible to introduce new resource "kinds" without having to modify
the ResourceOwnerData struct. In particular, this makes it possible
for extensions to register custom resource kinds.
The old approach was to have a small array of resources of each kind,
and if it fills up, switch to a hash table. The new approach also uses
an array and a hash, but now the array and the hash are used at the
same time. The array is used to hold the recently added resources, and
when it fills up, they are moved to the hash. This keeps the access to
recent entries fast, even when there are a lot of long-held resources.
All the resource-specific ResourceOwnerEnlarge*(),
ResourceOwnerRemember*(), and ResourceOwnerForget*() functions have
been replaced with three generic functions that take resource kind as
argument. For convenience, we still define resource-specific wrapper
macros around the generic functions with the old names, but they are
now defined in the source files that use those resource kinds.
The release callback no longer needs to call ResourceOwnerForget on
the resource being released. ResourceOwnerRelease unregisters the
resource from the owner before calling the callback. That needed some
changes in bufmgr.c and some other files, where releasing the
resources previously always called ResourceOwnerForget.
Each resource kind specifies a release priority, and
ResourceOwnerReleaseAll releases the resources in priority order. To
make that possible, we have to restrict what you can do between
phases. After calling ResourceOwnerRelease(), you are no longer
allowed to remember any more resources in it or to forget any
previously remembered resources by calling ResourceOwnerForget. There
was one case where that was done previously. At subtransaction commit,
AtEOSubXact_Inval() would handle the invalidation messages and call
RelationFlushRelation(), which temporarily increased the reference
count on the relation being flushed. We now switch to the parent
subtransaction's resource owner before calling AtEOSubXact_Inval(), so
that there is a valid ResourceOwner to temporarily hold that relcache
reference.
Other end-of-xact routines make similar calls to AtEOXact_Inval()
between release phases, but I didn't see any regression test failures
from those, so I'm not sure if they could reach a codepath that needs
remembering extra resources.
There were two exceptions to how the resource leak WARNINGs on commit
were printed previously: llvmjit silently released the context without
printing the warning, and a leaked buffer io triggered a PANIC. Now
everything prints a WARNING, including those cases.
