一、数据结构

全局静态变量
XLogRecordAssemble使用的全局变量包括hdr_rdt/hdr_scratch/rdatas等.

/* flags for the in-progress insertion */
//用于插入过程中的标记信息
static uint8 curinsert_flags = 0;

/*
 * These are used to hold the record header while constructing a record.
 * 'hdr_scratch' is not a plain variable, but is palloc'd at initialization,
 * because we want it to be MAXALIGNed and padding bytes zeroed.
 * 在构建XLOG Record时通常会存储记录的头部信息.
 * 'hdr_scratch'并不是一个普通(plain)变量,而是在初始化时通过palloc初始化,
 *   因为我们希望该变量已经是MAXALIGNed并且已被0x00填充.
 *
 * For simplicity, it's allocated large enough to hold the headers for any
 * WAL record.
 * 简单起见,该变量预先会分配足够大的空间用于存储所有WAL Record的头部信息.

static XLogRecData hdr_rdt;
static char *hdr_scratch = NULL;

#define SizeOfXlogOrigin    (sizeof(RepOriginId) + sizeof(char))

#define HEADER_SCRATCH_SIZE \
    (SizeOfXLogRecord + \
     MaxSizeOfXLogRecordBlockHeader * (XLR_MAX_BLOCK_ID + 1) + \
     SizeOfXLogRecordDataHeaderLong + SizeOfXlogOrigin)
/*
 * An array of XLogRecData structs, to hold registered data.
 * XLogRecData结构体数组,存储已注册的数据.
 */
static XLogRecData *rdatas;
static int  num_rdatas;         /* entries currently used */
//已分配的空间大小
static int  max_rdatas;         /* allocated size */
//是否调用XLogBeginInsert函数
static bool begininsert_called = false;

static XLogCtlData *XLogCtl = NULL;

/* flags for the in-progress insertion */
static uint8 curinsert_flags = 0;

/*

 * with XLogRegisterData(...).
 * 存储WAL Record "main data"的XLogRecDatas数据链
 */

static XLogRecData *mainrdata_last = (XLogRecData *) &mainrdata_head;
//链中某个位置的mainrdata大小
static uint32 mainrdata_len; /* total # of bytes in chain */

/*
 * ProcLastRecPtr points to the start of the last XLOG record inserted by the
 * current backend.  It is updated for all inserts.  XactLastRecEnd points to
 * end+1 of the last record, and is reset when we end a top-level transaction,
 * or start a new one; so it can be used to tell if the current transaction has
 * created any XLOG records.
 * ProcLastRecPtr指向当前后端插入的最后一条XLOG记录的开头。
 * 它针对所有插入进行更新。
 * XactLastRecEnd指向最后一条记录的末尾位置 + 1，
 *   并在结束顶级事务或启动新事务时重置;
 *   因此，它可以用来判断当前事务是否创建了任何XLOG记录。
 *
 * While in parallel mode, this may not be fully up to date.  When committing,
 * a transaction can assume this covers all xlog records written either by the
 * user backend or by any parallel worker which was present at any point during
 * the transaction.  But when aborting, or when still in parallel mode, other
 * parallel backends may have written WAL records at later LSNs than the value
 * stored here.  The parallel leader advances its own copy, when necessary,
 * in WaitForParallelWorkersToFinish.
 * 在并行模式下，这可能不是完全是最新的。
 * 在提交时，事务可以假定覆盖了用户后台进程或在事务期间出现的并行worker进程的所有xlog记录。
 * 但是，当中止时，或者仍然处于并行模式时，其他并行后台进程可能在较晚的LSNs中写入了WAL记录，
 *   而不是存储在这里的值。
 * 当需要时，并行处理进程的leader在WaitForParallelWorkersToFinish中会推进自己的副本。
 */
XLogRecPtr  ProcLastRecPtr = InvalidXLogRecPtr;
XLogRecPtr  XactLastRecEnd = InvalidXLogRecPtr;
XLogRecPtr XactLastCommitEnd = InvalidXLogRecPtr;

/* For WALInsertLockAcquire/Release functions */
//用于WALInsertLockAcquire/Release函数

二、源码解读

XLogRecordAssemble函数从已注册的数据和缓冲区中组装XLOG record到XLogRecData链中,组装完成后可以使用XLogInsertRecord()函数插入到WAL buffer中.
详见上一小节

三、跟踪分析

场景二:在数据表中插入第n条记录
测试脚本如下:

testdb=# drop table t_wal_normal;
DROP TABLE
testdb=# create table t_wal_normal(c1 int not null,c2  varchar(40),c3 varchar(40));
CREATE TABLE
testdb=# insert into t_wal_normal(c1,c2,c3) select i,'C2-'||i,'C3-'||i from generate_series(1,8191) as i;
INSERT 0 8191
testdb=# select pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size('t_wal_normal'));
 pg_size_pretty 
----------------
 424 kB
(1 row)
testdb=# checkpoint;
CHECKPOINT
testdb=# insert into t_wal_normal(c1,c2,c3) VALUES(8192,'C2-8192','C3-8192');

设置断点,进入XLogRecordAssemble

(gdb) b XLogRecordAssemble
Breakpoint 1 at 0x565411: file xloginsert.c, line 488.
(gdb) c
Continuing.

Breakpoint 1, XLogRecordAssemble (rmid=10 '\n', info=0 '\000', RedoRecPtr=5509173376, doPageWrites=true, 
    fpw_lsn=0x7ffd7eb51408) at xloginsert.c:488
488   uint32    total_len = 0;

输入参数:
rmid=10即0x0A --> Heap
info=0 '\000'
RedoRecPtr=5509173376,十六进制值为0x00000001485F5080
doPageWrites=true,需要full-page-write
fpw_lsn=0x7ffd7eb51408(fpw是full-page-write的简称,注意该变量仍未赋值)
接下来是变量赋值.
hdr_scratch的定义为:static char *hdr_scratch = NULL;
hdr_rdt的定义为:static XLogRecData hdr_rdt;

(gdb) n
491   registered_buffer *prev_regbuf = NULL;
(gdb) 
494   char     *scratch = hdr_scratch;
(gdb) 
502   rechdr = (XLogRecord *) scratch;
(gdb) 
503   scratch += SizeOfXLogRecord;
(gdb)  p *(XLogRecord *)rechdr
$1 = {xl_tot_len = 0, xl_xid = 0, xl_prev = 0, xl_info = 0 '\000', xl_rmid = 0 '\000', xl_crc = 0}
(gdb) p hdr_scratch
$2 = 0x1f6a4c0 ""
(gdb) 

配置hdr_rdt(用于存储header信息)

(gdb) n
505   hdr_rdt.next = NULL;
(gdb) 
506   rdt_datas_last = &hdr_rdt;
(gdb) n
507   hdr_rdt.data = hdr_scratch;
(gdb) 
515   if (wal_consistency_checking[rmid])

full-page-write's LSN初始化

(gdb) n
523   *fpw_lsn = InvalidXLogRecPtr;
(gdb) 
524   for (block_id = 0; block_id < max_registered_block_id; block_id++)
(gdb) p max_registered_block_id
$7 = 1

开始循环,获取regbuf.
regbuf是使用

(gdb) n
526     registered_buffer *regbuf = ®istered_buffers[block_id];
(gdb) 
531     XLogRecordBlockCompressHeader cbimg = {0};
(gdb) 
533     bool    is_compressed = false;
(gdb) p *regbuf
$3 = {in_use = true, flags = 8 '\b', rnode = {spcNode = 1663, dbNode = 16402, relNode = 25271}, forkno = MAIN_FORKNUM, 
  block = 52, page = 0x7f391f91b380 "\001", rdata_len = 26, rdata_head = 0x1f6a2c0, rdata_tail = 0x1f6a2d8, bkp_rdatas = {{
      next = 0x0, data = 0x0, len = 0}, {next = 0x0, data = 0x0, len = 0}}, compressed_page = '\000' }
(gdb)

注意:
在内存中,main data已由函数XLogRegisterData注册,由mainrdata_head和mainrdata_last指针维护,本例中,填充了xl_heap_insert结构体.
block data由XLogRegisterBuffer初始化,通过XLogRegisterBufData注册(填充)数据,分别是xl_heap_header结构体和实际数据(实质上是char *指针,最终填充的数据,由组装器确定).
1.main data

(gdb) p *mainrdata_head
$4 = {next = 0x0, data = 0x7ffd7eb51480 "\r", len = 3}
(gdb) p *(xl_heap_insert *)regbuf->rdata_head->data
$8 = {offnum = 3, flags = 2 '\002'}
(gdb) 

2.block data -> xl_heap_header

(gdb) p *regbuf->rdata_head
$6 = {next = 0x1f6a2d8, data = 0x7ffd7eb51470 "\003", len = 5}
(gdb)  p *(xl_heap_header *)regbuf->rdata_head->data
$7 = {t_infomask2 = 3, t_infomask = 2050, t_hoff = 24 '\030'}
(gdb) 

3.block data -> tuple data

(gdb) p *regbuf->rdata_head->next
$9 = {next = 0x0, data = 0x1feb07f "", len = 21}

查看地址0x1feb07f开始的21个字节数据,指向实际的数据.
第一个字段:首字节0 '\000'是类型标识符(INT,注:未最终确认),后续4个字节是32bit整型0x00002000,即整数8192.
第二个字段:首字节 17 '\021'是类型标识符(VARCHAR,注:未最终确认),后续是实际数据,即C2-8192
第三个字段:与第二个字段类似(C3-8192)

(gdb) x/21bc 0x1feb07f
0x1feb07f:  0 '\000'  0 '\000'  32 ' '  0 '\000'  0 '\000'  17 '\021' 67 'C'  50 '2'
0x1feb087:  45 '-'  56 '8'  49 '1'  57 '9'  50 '2'  17 '\021' 67 'C'  51 '3'
0x1feb08f:  45 '-'  56 '8'  49 '1'  57 '9'  50 '2'
(gdb) 

4.block data -> backup block image
这部分内容由XLogRecordAssemble()函数填充.

继续执行后续逻辑,regbuf->flags=0x08表示REGBUF_STANDARD(标准的page layout)

(gdb) n
536     if (!regbuf->in_use)
(gdb) 
540     if (regbuf->flags & REGBUF_FORCE_IMAGE)
(gdb) p regbuf->flags
$10 = 8 '\b'

doPageWrites = T,需要执行full-page-write.
page_lsn = 5509173336,十六进制值为0x00000001485F5058,逻辑ID为0x00000001,物理ID为0x00000048,segment file文文件名称为00000001 00000001 00000048(时间线为0x00000001),文件内偏移为0x5F5058.

(gdb) n
542     else if (regbuf->flags & REGBUF_NO_IMAGE)
(gdb) 
544     else if (!doPageWrites)
(gdb) 
553       XLogRecPtr  page_lsn = PageGetLSN(regbuf->page);
(gdb) 
555       needs_backup = (page_lsn <= RedoRecPtr);
(gdb) p page_lsn
$11 = 5510687552
(gdb) p RedoRecPtr
$12 = 5510687592

需要执行full-page-write

(gdb) n
556       if (!needs_backup)
(gdb) p needs_backup
$20 = true
(gdb) 

判断是否需要tuple data(needs_data标记)

(gdb) n
564     if (regbuf->rdata_len == 0)
(gdb) n
566     else if ((regbuf->flags & REGBUF_KEEP_DATA) != 0)
(gdb) 
569       needs_data = !needs_backup;
(gdb) 
571     bkpb.id = block_id;
(gdb) p needs_data
$14 = false
(gdb) 

配置BlockHeader

(gdb) n
572     bkpb.fork_flags = regbuf->forkno;
(gdb) 
573     bkpb.data_length = 0;
(gdb) 
575     if ((regbuf->flags & REGBUF_WILL_INIT) == REGBUF_WILL_INIT)
(gdb) 
582     include_image = needs_backup || (info & XLR_CHECK_CONSISTENCY) != 0;
(gdb) 
584     if (include_image)
(gdb) p bkpb
$15 = {id = 0 '\000', fork_flags = 0 '\000', data_length = 0}
(gdb) p include_image
$16 = true
(gdb) 

要求包含块镜像(FPI),获取相应的page(64bit的指针)

(gdb) n
586       Page    page = regbuf->page;
(gdb) 
587       uint16    compressed_len = 0;
(gdb) 
593       if (regbuf->flags & REGBUF_STANDARD)
(gdb) p page
$17 = (Page) 0x7f391f91b380 "\001"

标准块(REGBUF_STANDARD),获取lower&upper,并设置hole信息

(gdb) n
596         uint16    lower = ((PageHeader) page)->pd_lower;
(gdb) 
597         uint16    upper = ((PageHeader) page)->pd_upper;
(gdb) 
599         if (lower >= SizeOfPageHeaderData &&
(gdb) p lower
$18 = 76
(gdb) p upper
$19 = 7568
(gdb) n
600           upper > lower &&
(gdb) 
603           bimg.hole_offset = lower;
(gdb) 
604           cbimg.hole_length = upper - lower;
(gdb) n
623       if (wal_compression)
(gdb) p bimg
$22 = {length = 49648, hole_offset = 76, bimg_info = 0 '\000'}
(gdb) p cbimg
$23 = {hole_length = 7492}
(gdb) 

没有启用压缩,则不尝试压缩block

(gdb) p wal_compression
$24 = false
(gdb) 

设置标记BKPBLOCK_HAS_IMAGE

(gdb) n
636       bkpb.fork_flags |= BKPBLOCK_HAS_IMAGE;
(gdb) 
641       rdt_datas_last->next = ®buf->bkp_rdatas[0];
(gdb) 

设置相关信息

(gdb) 
641       rdt_datas_last->next = ®buf->bkp_rdatas[0];
(gdb) n
642       rdt_datas_last = rdt_datas_last->next;
(gdb) 
644       bimg.bimg_info = (cbimg.hole_length == 0) ? 0 : BKPIMAGE_HAS_HOLE;
(gdb) 
652       if (needs_backup)

设置标记BKPIMAGE_APPLY

(gdb) n
653         bimg.bimg_info |= BKPIMAGE_APPLY;
(gdb) 
655       if (is_compressed)
(gdb) p bimg
$26 = {length = 49648, hole_offset = 76, bimg_info = 5 '\005'}

没有压缩存储,设置相关信息

(gdb) p is_compressed
$27 = false
(gdb) n
665         bimg.length = BLCKSZ - cbimg.hole_length;
(gdb) 
667         if (cbimg.hole_length == 0)
(gdb) 
(gdb) p bimg
$28 = {length = 700, hole_offset = 76, bimg_info = 5 '\005'}

设置rdt_datas_last变量,构建hdr_rdt链表,分别指向hole前面部分hole后面部分

675           rdt_datas_last->data = page;
(gdb) 
676           rdt_datas_last->len = bimg.hole_offset;
(gdb) 
678           rdt_datas_last->next = ®buf->bkp_rdatas[1];
(gdb) 
679           rdt_datas_last = rdt_datas_last->next;
(gdb) 
682             page + (bimg.hole_offset + cbimg.hole_length);
(gdb) 
681           rdt_datas_last->data =
(gdb) 
684             BLCKSZ - (bimg.hole_offset + cbimg.hole_length);
(gdb) 
683           rdt_datas_last->len =
(gdb) 
688       total_len += bimg.length;

查看hdr_rdt相关信息

(gdb) p hdr_rdt
$31 = {next = 0x1f6c218, data = 0x1f6a4c0 "", len = 0}
(gdb) p *hdr_rdt->next
$34 = {next = 0x1f6c230, data = 0x7f391f91b380 "\001", len = 76}
(gdb) p *hdr_rdt->next->next
$35 = {next = 0x0, data = 0x7f391f91d110 "\351\a", len = 624}
(gdb) 

设置大小

(gdb) n
691     if (needs_data)
(gdb) p total_len
$36 = 700
(gdb) 

不需要处理tuple data,不是同一个REL

(gdb) p needs_data
$37 = false
(gdb) 
(gdb) n
705     if (prev_regbuf && RelFileNodeEquals(regbuf->rnode, prev_regbuf->rnode))
(gdb) p prev_regbuf
$38 = (registered_buffer *) 0x0
(gdb) n
711       samerel = false;
(gdb) 
712     prev_regbuf = regbuf;
(gdb) 

拷贝头部信息到scratch缓冲区中

(gdb) 
715     memcpy(scratch, &bkpb, SizeOfXLogRecordBlockHeader);
(gdb) 
716     scratch += SizeOfXLogRecordBlockHeader;
(gdb) 

包含FPI,追加SizeOfXLogRecordBlockImageHeader

(gdb) n
717     if (include_image)
(gdb) 
719       memcpy(scratch, &bimg, SizeOfXLogRecordBlockImageHeader);
(gdb) 
720       scratch += SizeOfXLogRecordBlockImageHeader;
(gdb) 
721       if (cbimg.hole_length != 0 && is_compressed)
(gdb) 
728     if (!samerel)
(gdb) 

不是同一个REL,追加RelFileNode

728     if (!samerel)
(gdb) 
730       memcpy(scratch, ®buf->rnode, sizeof(RelFileNode));
(gdb) 
731       scratch += sizeof(RelFileNode);
(gdb) 

后跟blocknumber

733     memcpy(scratch, ®buf->block, sizeof(BlockNumber));
(gdb) 
734     scratch += sizeof(BlockNumber);

继续下一个block

(gdb) 
524   for (block_id = 0; block_id < max_registered_block_id; block_id++)
(gdb) 

已处理完毕,接下来,是XLOG Record origin(不需要)

(gdb) n
738   if ((curinsert_flags & XLOG_INCLUDE_ORIGIN) &&
(gdb) 
739     replorigin_session_origin != InvalidRepOriginId)
(gdb) 
738   if ((curinsert_flags & XLOG_INCLUDE_ORIGIN) &&
(gdb) 
747   if (mainrdata_len > 0)
(gdb) 

接下来是main data,使用XLR_BLOCK_ID_DATA_SHORT格式

(gdb) n
749     if (mainrdata_len > 255)
(gdb) 
757       *(scratch++) = (char) XLR_BLOCK_ID_DATA_SHORT;
(gdb) p mainrdata_len
$39 = 3
(gdb) 

调整rdt_datas_last变量信息,调整总大小

(gdb) n
758       *(scratch++) = (uint8) mainrdata_len;
(gdb) 
760     rdt_datas_last->next = mainrdata_head;
(gdb) 
761     rdt_datas_last = mainrdata_last;
(gdb) 
762     total_len += mainrdata_len;
(gdb) 
764   rdt_datas_last->next = NULL;
(gdb) p total_len
$40 = 703
(gdb) 

调整hdr_rdt信息

(gdb) n
766   hdr_rdt.len = (scratch - hdr_scratch);
(gdb) 
767   total_len += hdr_rdt.len;
(gdb) 
777   INIT_CRC32C(rdata_crc);
(gdb) p hdr_rdt
$41 = {next = 0x1f6c218, data = 0x1f6a4c0 "", len = 51}
(gdb) p total_len
$42 = 754
(gdb) 

计算CRC

(gdb) 
779   for (rdt = hdr_rdt.next; rdt != NULL; rdt = rdt->next)
(gdb) 
780     COMP_CRC32C(rdata_crc, rdt->data, rdt->len);
(gdb) 
779   for (rdt = hdr_rdt.next; rdt != NULL; rdt = rdt->next)
(gdb) 
780     COMP_CRC32C(rdata_crc, rdt->data, rdt->len);
(gdb) 
779   for (rdt = hdr_rdt.next; rdt != NULL; rdt = rdt->next)
(gdb) 
780     COMP_CRC32C(rdata_crc, rdt->data, rdt->len);
(gdb) 
779   for (rdt = hdr_rdt.next; rdt != NULL; rdt = rdt->next)
(gdb) 
787   rechdr->xl_xid = GetCurrentTransactionIdIfAny();
(gdb) 

填充记录头部信息的其他域字段.

(gdb) n
788   rechdr->xl_tot_len = total_len;
(gdb) 
789   rechdr->xl_info = info;
(gdb) 
790   rechdr->xl_rmid = rmid;
(gdb) 
791   rechdr->xl_prev = InvalidXLogRecPtr;
(gdb) 
792   rechdr->xl_crc = rdata_crc;
(gdb) 
794   return &hdr_rdt;
(gdb) p *(XLogRecord *)rechdr
$43 = {xl_tot_len = 754, xl_xid = 2025, xl_prev = 0, xl_info = 0 '\000', xl_rmid = 10 '\n', xl_crc = 1615792998}
(gdb) 

返回hdr_rdt

(gdb) n
795 }
(gdb) 
XLogInsert (rmid=10 '\n', info=0 '\000') at xloginsert.c:462
462     EndPos = XLogInsertRecord(rdt, fpw_lsn, curinsert_flags);
(gdb) 
(gdb) p *rdt
$44 = {next = 0x1f6c218, data = 0x1f6a4c0 "\362\002", len = 51}
(gdb) p fpw_lsn
$45 = 0
(gdb) p curinsert_flags
$46 = 1 '\001'
(gdb) 

DONE!
