[PATCH v45 3/7] Make archiver process an auxiliary process 3+ messages / 3 participants [nested] [flat]
* [PATCH v45 3/7] Make archiver process an auxiliary process @ 2020-03-13 07:59 Kyotaro Horiguchi <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 3+ messages in thread From: Kyotaro Horiguchi @ 2020-03-13 07:59 UTC (permalink / raw) This is a preliminary patch for shared-memory based stats collector. Archiver process must be a auxiliary process since it uses shared memory after stats data was moved into shared-memory. Make the process an auxiliary process in order to make it work. --- src/backend/access/transam/xlogarchive.c | 6 +- src/backend/bootstrap/bootstrap.c | 22 ++-- src/backend/postmaster/pgarch.c | 130 +++-------------------- src/backend/postmaster/postmaster.c | 50 +++++---- src/backend/storage/lmgr/proc.c | 1 + src/include/access/xlog.h | 3 + src/include/access/xlogarchive.h | 1 + src/include/miscadmin.h | 2 + src/include/postmaster/pgarch.h | 4 +- src/include/storage/pmsignal.h | 1 - src/include/storage/proc.h | 3 + 11 files changed, 69 insertions(+), 154 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/backend/access/transam/xlogarchive.c b/src/backend/access/transam/xlogarchive.c index 1c5a4f8b5a..d01859bde5 100644 --- a/src/backend/access/transam/xlogarchive.c +++ b/src/backend/access/transam/xlogarchive.c @@ -29,7 +29,9 @@ #include "storage/fd.h" #include "storage/ipc.h" #include "storage/lwlock.h" +#include "storage/latch.h" #include "storage/pmsignal.h" +#include "storage/proc.h" /* * Attempt to retrieve the specified file from off-line archival storage. @@ -490,8 +492,8 @@ XLogArchiveNotify(const char *xlog) } /* Notify archiver that it's got something to do */ - if (IsUnderPostmaster) - SendPostmasterSignal(PMSIGNAL_WAKEN_ARCHIVER); + if (IsUnderPostmaster && ProcGlobal->archiverLatch) + SetLatch(ProcGlobal->archiverLatch); } /* diff --git a/src/backend/bootstrap/bootstrap.c b/src/backend/bootstrap/bootstrap.c index 6f615e6622..41da0c5059 100644 --- a/src/backend/bootstrap/bootstrap.c +++ b/src/backend/bootstrap/bootstrap.c @@ -317,6 +317,9 @@ AuxiliaryProcessMain(int argc, char *argv[]) case StartupProcess: MyBackendType = B_STARTUP; break; + case ArchiverProcess: + MyBackendType = B_ARCHIVER; + break; case BgWriterProcess: MyBackendType = B_BG_WRITER; break; @@ -437,30 +440,29 @@ AuxiliaryProcessMain(int argc, char *argv[]) proc_exit(1); /* should never return */ case StartupProcess: - /* don't set signals, startup process has its own agenda */ StartupProcessMain(); - proc_exit(1); /* should never return */ + proc_exit(1); + + case ArchiverProcess: + PgArchiverMain(); + proc_exit(1); case BgWriterProcess: - /* don't set signals, bgwriter has its own agenda */ BackgroundWriterMain(); - proc_exit(1); /* should never return */ + proc_exit(1); case CheckpointerProcess: - /* don't set signals, checkpointer has its own agenda */ CheckpointerMain(); - proc_exit(1); /* should never return */ + proc_exit(1); case WalWriterProcess: - /* don't set signals, walwriter has its own agenda */ InitXLOGAccess(); WalWriterMain(); - proc_exit(1); /* should never return */ + proc_exit(1); case WalReceiverProcess: - /* don't set signals, walreceiver has its own agenda */ WalReceiverMain(); - proc_exit(1); /* should never return */ + proc_exit(1); default: elog(PANIC, "unrecognized process type: %d", (int) MyAuxProcType); diff --git a/src/backend/postmaster/pgarch.c b/src/backend/postmaster/pgarch.c index edec311f12..9a2e21bf86 100644 --- a/src/backend/postmaster/pgarch.c +++ b/src/backend/postmaster/pgarch.c @@ -48,6 +48,7 @@ #include "storage/latch.h" #include "storage/pg_shmem.h" #include "storage/pmsignal.h" +#include "storage/procsignal.h" #include "utils/guc.h" #include "utils/ps_status.h" @@ -78,13 +79,11 @@ * Local data * ---------- */ -static time_t last_pgarch_start_time; static time_t last_sigterm_time = 0; /* * Flags set by interrupt handlers for later service in the main loop. */ -static volatile sig_atomic_t wakened = false; static volatile sig_atomic_t ready_to_stop = false; /* ---------- @@ -95,8 +94,6 @@ static volatile sig_atomic_t ready_to_stop = false; static pid_t pgarch_forkexec(void); #endif -NON_EXEC_STATIC void PgArchiverMain(int argc, char *argv[]) pg_attribute_noreturn(); -static void pgarch_waken(SIGNAL_ARGS); static void pgarch_waken_stop(SIGNAL_ARGS); static void pgarch_MainLoop(void); static void pgarch_ArchiverCopyLoop(void); @@ -110,75 +107,6 @@ static void pgarch_archiveDone(char *xlog); * ------------------------------------------------------------ */ -/* - * pgarch_start - * - * Called from postmaster at startup or after an existing archiver - * died.

Atomics aren't free - especially inside of a > loop. I think the aspect to worry about the most is what happens when the feature is disabled. The cost for that should be just one comparison, which I think can be optimized by the compiler fairly well. That should be cheap enough. People who enable it would have to pay the cost of the atomics, which is of course much higher. -- Álvaro Herrera PostgreSQL Developer — https://www.EnterpriseDB.com/ ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 3+ messages in thread
