[MySQL] Buffer Pool Adaptive Flush

Buffer Pool Adaptive Flush

在MySQL的帮助文档中Tuning InnoDB Buffer Pool Flushing提到， innodb_adaptive_flushing_lwm,innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm, innodb_io_capacity_max, 和innodb_flushing_avg_loops. 公式决定了Adaptive Flush刷入的page数。

“For systems with constant heavy workloads, or workloads that fluctuate widely, several configuration options let you fine-tune the flushing behavior for InnoDB tables: innodb_adaptive_flushing_lwm,innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm, innodb_io_capacity_max, and innodb_flushing_avg_loops. These options feed into the formula used by the innodb_adaptive_flushing option.”

Innodb_adaptive_flush_lwm：自适应flush机制的低水位。
innodb_max_dirty_page_pct_lwm:脏页的低水位，用来控制buffer pool脏页比率。
innodb_io_capacity_max：redo log最大容量，如果不设置是innodb_io_capacity的两倍。
innodb_flushing_avg_loops：n次循环后，重新计算平均刷新的dirty page和LSN。

要刷新多少page和lsn主要代码在af_get_pct_for_dirty，af_get_pct_for_lsn中

主要控制adaptive flush的代码位于buf0flu.cc的af_get_pct_for_lsn中：

1.先判断redo log的容量是否到了innodb_adaptive_flushing_lwm低水位阀值。
2.是否配置了adaptive flush或者age超过了异步刷新的阀值。
3.lsn_age_factor=age占异步刷新阀值的比例。
4.要被刷新的比率=innodb_io_capacity_max/innodb_io_capacity*lsn_age_factor* sqrt(innodb_io_capacity)/7.5

ulint
af_get_pct_for_lsn(
/*===============*/
       lsn_t  age)   /*!< in: current age of LSN. */
{
       lsn_t  max_async_age;
       lsn_t  lsn_age_factor;
       lsn_t  af_lwm=(srv_adaptive_flushing_lwm
                       *log_get_capacity())/100;
 
       if(age<af_lwm){
              /* No adaptive flushing. */
              return(0);
       }
 
       max_async_age=log_get_max_modified_age_async();
 
       if(age<max_async_age&&!srv_adaptive_flushing){
              /* We have still not reached the max_async point and
              the user has disabled adaptive flushing. */
              return(0);
       }
 
       /* If we are here then we know that either:
       1) User has enabled adaptive flushing
       2) User may have disabled adaptive flushing but we have reached
       max_async_age. */
       lsn_age_factor=(age*100)/max_async_age;
 
       ut_ad(srv_max_io_capacity>=srv_io_capacity);
       return(static_cast<ulint>(
              ((srv_max_io_capacity/srv_io_capacity)
              *(lsn_age_factor*sqrt((double)lsn_age_factor)))
              /7.5));
}

 

和要刷新多少脏页有关的函数是af_get_pct_for_dirty：
1.如果有脏页，并且innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct=0立马刷新。
2.如果没有设置innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm，并且脏页比率超过innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct，立马刷新。
3.设置了innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm并且脏页比率比低水位大，af_get_pct_for_dirty =脏页比率/(innodb_max_dirty_pages_pct+1)

static
ulint
af_get_pct_for_dirty()
/*==================*/
{
       ulintdirty_pct=buf_get_modified_ratio_pct();
 
       if(dirty_pct>0&&srv_max_buf_pool_modified_pct==0){
              return(100);
       }
 
       ut_a(srv_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm
            <=srv_max_buf_pool_modified_pct);
 
       if(srv_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm==0){
              /* The user has not set the option to preflush dirty
              pages as we approach the high water mark. */
              if(dirty_pct>srv_max_buf_pool_modified_pct){
                     /* We have crossed the high water mark of dirty
                     pages In this case we start flushing at 100% of
                     innodb_io_capacity. */
                     return(100);
              }
       }elseif(dirty_pct>srv_max_dirty_pages_pct_lwm){
              /* We should start flushing pages gradually. */
              return((dirty_pct*100)
                     /(srv_max_buf_pool_modified_pct+1));
       }
 
       return(0);
}

 

要刷新的page=PCT_IO(max(af_get_pct_for_dirty，af_get_pct_for_lsn))+avg_page（由innodb_flushing_avg_loops到期计算得到）。

要刷新到的LSN= oldest_lsn+（(这次要刷新的page/上次已经刷新的page)+1）*avg_lsn(由innodb_flushing_avg_loops到期计算得到)

帮助文档还提到innodb_flushing_avg_loops越大，也意味着adaptive flush越慢，但是从代码看，innodb_flushing_avg_loops会影响所有的flush不单单是adaptive。当写入变大，innodb_flushing_avg_loops不变或者变大，是有可能导致flush跟不上。
