From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be

segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size

extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size

extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size

extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be

segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size

extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v2 3/6] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-02-24 19:08 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-02-24 19:08 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors

segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size

extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v4 3/8] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-03-15 15:38 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-03-15 15:38 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.

* [PATCH v5 06/10] Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers
@ 2025-06-17 09:22 Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 319+ messages in thread

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2025-06-17 09:22 UTC (permalink / raw)

Add more shmem segments to split shared buffers into following chunks:
* BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer blocks
* BUFFER_DESCRIPTORS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer descriptors
* BUFFER_IOCV_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains condition variables for buffers
* CHECKPOINT_BUFFERS_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains checkpoint buffer ids
* STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT: contains buffer strategy status

Size of the corresponding shared data directly depends on NBuffers,
meaning that if we would like to change NBuffers, they have to be
resized correspondingly. Placing each of them in a separate shmem
segment allows to achieve that.

There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size
limit. The buffer blocks have the largest, while the rest claim less
extra room for resize. Ideally those limits have to be deduced from the
maximum allowed shared memory.
