3 : * checkpointer.c
4 : *
5 : * The checkpointer is new as of Postgres 9.2. It handles all checkpoints.
6 : * Checkpoints are automatically dispatched after a certain amount of time has
7 : * elapsed since the last one, and it can be signaled to perform requested
8 : * checkpoints as well. (The GUC parameter that mandates a checkpoint every
9 : * so many WAL segments is implemented by having backends signal when they
10 : * fill WAL segments; the checkpointer itself doesn't watch for the
11 : * condition.)
12 : *
13 : * The normal termination sequence is that checkpointer is instructed to
14 : * execute the shutdown checkpoint by SIGINT. After that checkpointer waits
15 : * to be terminated via SIGUSR2, which instructs the checkpointer to exit(0).
16 : * All backends must be stopped before SIGINT or SIGUSR2 is issued!
17 : *
18 : * Emergency termination is by SIGQUIT; like any backend, the checkpointer
19 : * will simply abort and exit on SIGQUIT.
20 : *
21 : * If the checkpointer exits unexpectedly, the postmaster treats that the same
22 : * as a backend crash: shared memory may be corrupted, so remaining backends
23 : * should be killed by SIGQUIT and then a recovery cycle started. (Even if
24 : * shared memory isn't corrupted, we have lost information about which
25 : * files need to be fsync'd for the next checkpoint, and so a system
26 : * restart needs to be forced.)

70 : * Shared memory area for communication between checkpointer and backends
71 : *
72 : * The ckpt counters allow backends to watch for completion of a checkpoint
73 : * request they send. Here's how it works:
74 : * * At start of a checkpoint, checkpointer reads (and clears) the request
75 : * flags and increments ckpt_started, while holding ckpt_lck.
76 : * * On completion of a checkpoint, checkpointer sets ckpt_done to
77 : * equal ckpt_started.
78 : * * On failure of a checkpoint, checkpointer increments ckpt_failed
79 : * and sets ckpt_done to equal ckpt_started.
80 : *
81 : * The algorithm for backends is:
82 : * 1. Record current values of ckpt_failed and ckpt_started, and
83 : * set request flags, while holding ckpt_lck.
84 : * 2. Send signal to request checkpoint.
85 : * 3. Sleep until ckpt_started changes. Now you know a checkpoint has
86 : * begun since you started this algorithm (although *not* that it was
87 : * specifically initiated by your signal), and that it is using your flags.
88 : * 4. Record new value of ckpt_started.
89 : * 5. Sleep until ckpt_done >= saved value of ckpt_started. (Use modulo
90 : * arithmetic here in case counters wrap around.) Now you know a
91 : * checkpoint has started and completed, but not whether it was
92 : * successful.
93 : * 6. If ckpt_failed is different from the originally saved value,
94 : * assume request failed; otherwise it was definitely successful.
95 : *
96 : * ckpt_flags holds the OR of the checkpoint request flags sent by all
97 : * requesting backends since the last checkpoint start. The flags are
98 : * chosen so that OR'ing is the correct way to combine multiple requests.
99 : *
100 : * The requests array holds fsync requests sent by backends and not yet
101 : * absorbed by the checkpointer.
102 : *
103 : * Unlike the checkpoint fields, requests related fields are protected by
104 : * CheckpointerCommLock.
