lightdb for postgresql wal详解之整体体系及pg_waldump、pg_switch_wal的实现

要理解WAL，首先要知道WAL文件、WAL块以及WAL记录的物理布局。

除了源码，了解WAL最好的方式是通过pg_waldump入手：

[lightdb@lightdb1 bin]$ ./lt_waldump --help
lt_waldump decodes and displays LightDB write-ahead logs for debugging.

Usage:
  lt_waldump [OPTION]... [STARTSEG [ENDSEG]]

Options:
  -b, --bkp-details      output detailed information about backup blocks
  -e, --end=RECPTR       stop reading at WAL location RECPTR
  -f, --follow           keep retrying after reaching end of WAL
  -n, --limit=N          number of records to display
  -p, --path=PATH        directory in which to find log segment files or a
                         directory with a ./pg_wal that contains such files
                         (default: current directory, ./pg_wal, $PGDATA/pg_wal)
  -q, --quiet            do not print any output, except for errors
  -r, --rmgr=RMGR        only show records generated by resource manager RMGR;
                         use --rmgr=list to list valid resource manager names
  -s, --start=RECPTR     start reading at WAL location RECPTR
  -t, --timeline=TLI     timeline from which to read log records
                         (default: 1 or the value used in STARTSEG)
  -V, --version          output version information, then exit
  -x, --xid=XID          only show records with transaction ID XID
  -z, --stats[=record]   show statistics instead of records
                         (optionally, show per-record statistics)
  -?, --help             show this help, then exit

对应的资源管理器定义结构如下：

 * numerical values of each rmgr's ID, which is stored in WAL records.  New
 * entries should be added at the end, to avoid changing IDs of existing
 * entries.

 * Changes to this list possibly need an XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC bump.

对应的，每种access method通常都有对应的xlog（它主要对应block data/main data的物理组织结构）结构，如下：

　　具体到heapam中，新增、修改、删除、multi insert等等都是不同的结构定义，具体可见heapam_xlog.h。

　　先看pg_waldump的解析日志：

insert一条带主键的记录

rec<tot基本上是因为发生了FPW，如果开启了FPW，则压缩是非常有价值的。
rmgr: Standby len (rec/tot): 54/ 54, tx: 0, lsn: 0/4CBBE220, prev 0/4CBBE1E8, desc: RUNNING_XACTS nextXid 593 latestCompletedXid 591 oldestRunningXid 592; 1 xacts: 592

blkref 说明：分配给一个wal记录的缓冲默认情况下为5个块，由下列常量定义。

/*
 * The minimum size of the WAL construction working area. If you need to
 * register more than XLR_NORMAL_MAX_BLOCK_ID block references or have more
 * than XLR_NORMAL_RDATAS data chunks in a single WAL record, you must call
 * XLogEnsureRecordSpace() first to allocate more working memory.
 */
#define XLR_NORMAL_MAX_BLOCK_ID        4
#define XLR_NORMAL_RDATAS            20

正常都是从block id=0开始，如下：

所以可以看到除非text/bytea等大字段类型，一般情况下blkref都为0。

=====

wal记录可能包含两部分，FPI和非FPI，通过DecodedBkpBlock.has_img区分某个wal record的各个块是FPI还是非FPI。

wal记录固定长度头部的定义

/*
 * The overall layout of an XLOG record is:

 *        XLogRecordBlockHeader struct
 *        ...

 *        block data
 *        block data
 *        ...
 *        main data
 *
 * There can be zero or more XLogRecordBlockHeaders, and 0 or more bytes of
 * rmgr-specific data not associated with a block.  XLogRecord structs
 * always start on MAXALIGN boundaries in the WAL files, but the rest of
 * the fields are not aligned.
 *
 * The XLogRecordBlockHeader, XLogRecordDataHeaderShort and
 * XLogRecordDataHeaderLong structs all begin with a single 'id' byte. It's
 * used to distinguish between block references, and the main data structs.
 */
typedef struct XLogRecord
{
    uint32        xl_tot_len;        /* total len of entire record */
    TransactionId xl_xid;        /* xact id */
    XLogRecPtr    xl_prev;        /* ptr to previous record in log */
    uint8        xl_info;        /* flag bits, see below */   分为前4字节（rmgr保存各个rmgr特有的一些标记信息，如一致性检查，典型的例子是xlog_identify(uint8 info)）和后4字节
    RmgrId        xl_rmid;        /* resource manager for this record */
    /* 2 bytes of padding here, initialize to zero */
    pg_crc32c    xl_crc;            /* CRC for this record */

    /* XLogRecordBlockHeaders and XLogRecordDataHeader follow, no padding */

} XLogRecord;

理解XLOG的这个布局是非常重要的，因为waldump解析出来的每条记录和语句不是一一对应的，而是和修改的物理对象一一对应（否则做不到物理apply）。

waldump读的逻辑基本时还是依赖xlogreader.c完成，waldump只是做了具体的实现，和sql执行过程一样，所有的状态由XLogReaderState整个周期内维护。

/*
 * pg_switch_wal: switch to next xlog file
 *
 * Permission checking for this function is managed through the normal
 * GRANT system.
 */

    XLogRecPtr    switchpoint;

    if (RecoveryInProgress())
        ereport(ERROR,
                (errcode(ERRCODE_OBJECT_NOT_IN_PREREQUISITE_STATE),
                 errmsg("recovery is in progress"),
                 errhint("WAL control functions cannot be executed during recovery.")));

    switchpoint = RequestXLogSwitch(false);  // 具体的实现

     * As a convenience, return the WAL location of the switch record

下面来分析wal文件的生成与切换。

pg_switch_wal moves to the next write-ahead log file, allowing the current file to be archived (assuming you are using continuous archiving). The return value is the ending write-ahead log location + 1 within the just-completed write-ahead log file. If there has been no write-ahead log activity since the last write-ahead log switch, pg_switch_wal does nothing and returns the start location of the write-ahead log file currently in use.

正常情况下len都比较小，即使插入8k长度记录也一样（会被TOAST+压缩，所以很小），要模拟大记录，要设置列存储方式为plain。此时就可以看到大的rec记录。

=== rmgr，所有有物理记录的都是资源，定义在rmgrlist.h接口中。src/include/access/rmgr.h，src/bin/pg_waldump/rmgrdesc.h
typedef struct RmgrDescData
{
const char *rm_name;
void (*rm_desc) (StringInfo buf, XLogReaderState *record);
const char *(*rm_identify) (uint8 info);
} RmgrDescData;

#define PG_RMGR(symname,name,redo,desc,identify,startup,cleanup,mask) \
{ name, desc, identify},

const RmgrDescData RmgrDescTable[RM_MAX_ID + 1] = {
#include "access/rmgrlist.h" # 居然还有这种用法？？？？预处理器果然NB
};

src/bin/pg_waldump/pg_waldump.c是pg_waldump入口

desc定义在src/backend/access/rmgrdesc/xxxdesc.c中，每个资源管理器一个。

## 即使再切换，也没有生成新的WAL文件，是因为没有开启归档，同时已经满足了min_wal_size的要求

postgres=# select pg_current_wal_flush_lsn(),pg_current_wal_insert_lsn(),pg_current_wal_lsn(),pg_walfile_name_offset(pg_current_wal_lsn());
pg_current_wal_flush_lsn | pg_current_wal_insert_lsn | pg_current_wal_lsn | pg_walfile

E00000003,1892192)

在pg的wal中，有个三个位置，write位置、insert位置以及flush位置。三者的定义和差异为：

insert位置是指从逻辑角度而言，已经被占用的位置，也就是已经分配给wal writer或进程
write位置是已经调用了fwrite，但是还没有调用fflush，但是服务器外部可能可见
flush是指已经调用了fflush，只有fflush之后的wal，才是真正完成的。

↓flush的位置 ↓write的位置 ↓insert的位置

00000000000000001000000000000000000100000000000000000000000100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

从切换可知，wal文件名一定是递增的。

如果开启了归档的话，文件在满足min_wal_size后被删除之前一定会被归档。

}

　　checkpoint_timeout=1800(默认300）checkpoint完全应该自动，根据恢复时间要求来自动调整，跟oracle一样（因为checkpoint以来写了多少WAL，启动恢复相应数量的WAL需要多久也知道，所以就能算出来）。超过max_wal_size之后也会执行强制checkpoint（因为wal被重用）

　　pg_start_backup和pg_basebackup,CREATE DATABASE / DROP DATABASE执行的时候，停止pg的时候也会执行checkpoint。
　　事务隔离性使得写wal可以随便并发。

　　wal_log_hints会导致checkpoint后，页如果发生了即使不重要的数据改动,也遵循全页写机制。如果wal_checksum启用了，这个参数会自动强制启用。
　　full_page_writes为了避免部分写（8k被内核拆分为4k，被磁盘拆分为512字节） https://www.2ndquadrant.com/en/blog/on-the-impact-of-full-page-writes/，所以只要恢复一部分数据块即可，还不用先读取data file。这样的话checkpoint的频率以及shared buffer的大小（增量检查点很重要）就非常重要了。
　　checksum在每次写到OS以及读的时候计算，不是每次修改都计算，所以那负载就好多了（offload cpu checksum），所以OLTP开启吧https://postgreshelp.com/postgresql-checksum/，DSS和批处理不要开启。
　　pg_rewind（PostgreSQL 9.5官方包含，用于主从故障切换），一般推荐使用repmgr rejoin机制。

WAL的写入

　　一直以为wal日志记录的写入是由wal writer负责的，debug下来发现主要是backend进程写的。如下：

　　所有写入逻辑通过xloginsert.c中的XLogInsert函数调用XLogInsertRecord实现，这样的话wal offset的位置如何分配就非常重要了（毕竟会有连接死掉，超过max_wal_size时还有事务未提交等情况）。

　　至于wal writer。异步模式下，wal writer负责定时（wal_writer_delay控制）负责调用XLogBackgroundFlush(void)

WAL解析

　　要正确解析wal，需要使用一个大小为最大理论上支持的并发数的wal entry数组做解析缓存。维护一个全局当前已经解析的lsn个apply的lsn。除了get外，解析和应用也可以完全并行。
