/*------------------------------------------------------------------------- * * visibilitymap.c * bitmap for tracking visibility of heap tuples * * Portions Copyright (c) 1996-2010, PostgreSQL Global Development Group * Portions Copyright (c) 1994, Regents of the University of California * * * IDENTIFICATION * $PostgreSQL: pgsql/src/backend/access/heap/visibilitymap.c,v 1.7 2010/01/02 16:57:35 momjian Exp $ * * INTERFACE ROUTINES * visibilitymap_clear - clear a bit in the visibility map * visibilitymap_pin - pin a map page for setting a bit * visibilitymap_set - set a bit in a previously pinned page * visibilitymap_test - test if a bit is set * * NOTES * * The visibility map is a bitmap with one bit per heap page. A set bit means * that all tuples on the page are known visible to all transactions, and * therefore the page doesn't need to be vacuumed. The map is conservative in * the sense that we make sure that whenever a bit is set, we know the * condition is true, but if a bit is not set, it might or might not be true. * * There's no explicit WAL logging in the functions in this file. The callers * must make sure that whenever a bit is cleared, the bit is cleared on WAL * replay of the updating operation as well. Setting bits during recovery * isn't necessary for correctness. * * Currently, the visibility map is only used as a hint, to speed up VACUUM. * A corrupted visibility map won't cause data corruption, although it can * make VACUUM skip pages that need vacuuming, until the next anti-wraparound * vacuum. The visibility map is not used for anti-wraparound vacuums, because * an anti-wraparound vacuum needs to freeze tuples and observe the latest xid * present in the table, even on pages that don't have any dead tuples. * * Although the visibility map is just a hint at the moment, the PD_ALL_VISIBLE * flag on heap pages *must* be correct, because it is used to skip visibility * checking. * * LOCKING * * In heapam.c, whenever a page is modified so that not all tuples on the * page are visible to everyone anymore, the corresponding bit in the * visibility map is cleared. The bit in the visibility map is cleared * after releasing the lock on the heap page, to avoid holding the lock * over possible I/O to read in the visibility map page. * * To set a bit, you need to hold a lock on the heap page. That prevents * the race condition where VACUUM sees that all tuples on the page are * visible to everyone, but another backend modifies the page before VACUUM * sets the bit in the visibility map. * * When a bit is set, the LSN of the visibility map page is updated to make * sure that the visibility map update doesn't get written to disk before the * WAL record of the changes that made it possible to set the bit is flushed. * But when a bit is cleared, we don't have to do that because it's always * safe to clear a bit in the map from correctness point of view. * * TODO * * It would be nice to use the visibility map to skip visibility checks in * index scans. * * Currently, the visibility map is not 100% correct all the time. * During updates, the bit in the visibility map is cleared after releasing * the lock on the heap page. During the window between releasing the lock * and clearing the bit in the visibility map, the bit in the visibility map * is set, but the new insertion or deletion is not yet visible to other * backends. * * That might actually be OK for the index scans, though. The newly inserted * tuple wouldn't have an index pointer yet, so all tuples reachable from an * index would still be visible to all other backends, and deletions wouldn't * be visible to other backends yet. (But HOT breaks that argument, no?) * * There's another hole in the way the PD_ALL_VISIBLE flag is set. When * vacuum observes that all tuples are visible to all, it sets the flag on * the heap page, and also sets the bit in the visibility map. If we then * crash, and only the visibility map page was flushed to disk, we'll have * a bit set in the visibility map, but the corresponding flag on the heap * page is not set. If the heap page is then updated, the updater won't * know to clear the bit in the visibility map. (Isn't that prevented by * the LSN interlock?) * *------------------------------------------------------------------------- */ #include "postgres.h" #include "access/visibilitymap.h" #include "storage/bufmgr.h" #include "storage/bufpage.h" #include "storage/lmgr.h" #include "storage/smgr.h" #include "utils/inval.h" /*#define TRACE_VISIBILITYMAP */ /* * Size of the bitmap on each visibility map page, in bytes.
