MySQL · 源码分析 · InnoDB 异步IO工作流程

Author: 令猴

之前的一篇内核月报InnoDB IO子系统 中介绍了InnoDB IO子系统中包含的同步IO以及异步IO。本篇文章将从源码层面剖析一下InnoDB IO子系统中,数据页的同步IO以及异步IO请求的具体实现过程。

在MySQL5.6中,InnoDB的异步IO主要是用来处理预读以及对数据文件的写请求的。而对于正常的页面数据读取则是通过同步IO进行的。到底二者在代码层面上的实现过程有什么样的区别? 接下来我们将以Linux native io的执行过程为主线,对IO请求的执行过程进行梳理。

重点数据结构

/** 用来记录某一类(ibuf,log,read,write)异步IO(aio)请求的数组类型。每一个异步IO请求都会在类型对应的数组中注册一个innodb
  aio对象。*/

os_aio_array_t  {
	
  os_ib_mutex_t mutex;  // 主要用来控制异步read/write线程的并发操作。对于ibuf,log类型,由于只有一个线程,所以不存在并发操作问题
  os_event_t  not_full; // 一个条件变量event,用来通知等待获取slot的线程是否os_aio_array_t数组有空闲的slot供aio请求

  os_event_t  is_empty; // 条件变量event,用来通知IO线程os_aio_array_t数组是否有pening的IO请求。
  
  ulint   n_slots; // 数组容纳的IO请求数。= 线程数 * 每个segment允许pending的请求数(256)
  
  ulint   n_segments; // 允许独立wait的segment数,即某种类型的IO的允许最大线程数

  ulint   cur_seg; /* IO请求会按照round robin的方式分配到不同的segment中,该变量指示下一个IO请求可以分配的segment */
 ulint   n_reserved; // 已经Pending的IO请求数

  os_aio_slot_t*  slots; // 用来记录具体的每个IO请求对象的数组,也即n_segments 个线程共用n_slots个槽位来存放pending io请求  

  \#ifdef __WIN__

  HANDLE*   handles;
        /*!< Pointer to an array of OS native
        event handles where we copied the
        handles from slots, in the same
        order. This can be used in
        WaitForMultipleObjects; used only in
		Windows */

 \#endif __WIN__

 \#if defined(LINUX_NATIVE_AIO)

  io_context_t*   aio_ctx; // aio上下文的数组,每个segment拥有独立的一个aio上下文数组,用来记录以及完成的IO请求上下文

  struct io_event*  aio_events; // 该数组用来记录已经完成的IO请求事件。异步IO通过设置事件通知IO线程处理完成的IO请求

  struct iocb**  pending; // 用来记录pending的aio请求

  ulint*         count; // 该数组记录了每个segment对应的pending aio请求数量

 \#endif /* LINUX_NATIV_AIO */

 }
// os_aio_array_t数组中用来记录一个异步IO(aio)请求的对象
 os_aio_slot_t {

  ibool   is_read;  /*!< TRUE if a read operation */

  ulint   pos;    // os_aio_array_t数组中所在的位置 

  ibool   reserved; // TRUE表示该Slot已经被别的IO请求占用了

  time_t    reservation_time; // 占用的时间

  ulint   len;    // io请求的长度

  byte*   buf;    // 数据读取或者需要写入的buffer,通常指向buffer pool的一个页面,压缩页面有特殊处理

  ulint   type;   /* 请求类型,即读还是写IO请求 */ 

  os_offset_t offset;   /*!< file offset in bytes */

  os_file_t file;   /*!< file where to read or write */

  const char* name;   /*!< 需要读取的文件及路径信息 */

  ibool   io_already_done; /* TRUE表示IO已经完成了

  fil_node_t* message1; /* 该aio操作的innodb文件描述符(f_node_t)*/

  void*   message2; /* 用来记录完成IO请求所对应的具体buffer pool bpage页 */

 \#ifdef WIN_ASYNC_IO

  HANDLE    handle;   /*!< handle object we need in the
          OVERLAPPED struct */

  OVERLAPPED  control;  /*!< Windows control block for the
          aio request */

  \#elif defined(LINUX_NATIVE_AIO)

  struct iocb control;  /* 该slot使用的aio请求控制块iocb */

  int   n_bytes;  /* 读写bytes */

  int   ret;    /* AIO return code */

  \#endif /* WIN_ASYNC_IO */

综上重点对InnoDB navtive IO读写数据文件从源码角度进行了分析,有兴趣的读者也可以继续了解InnoDB自带的simulated IO的实现过程,原理雷同native IO,只是在实现方式上自己进行了处理。本篇文章对InnoDB IO请求的执行流程进行了梳理,对重点数据结构以及函数进行了分析,希望对读者日后进行源码阅读及修改有所帮助。
