InnoDB线程并发检查机制

InnoDB在接受MySQL线程调用能时,有一个并发线程的检查机制,通过innodb_thread_concurrency参数进行控制。如果参数设置大于0,则表示检查机制开启,允许进入的线程数就是参数的值。等于0则禁用并发检查。

在新的MySQL线程调用Innodb接口前,Innodb会检查已经接受的请求线程数,如已经超过innodb_thread_concurrency设置的限制,则该请求线程会等待innodb_thread_sleep_delay微秒后尝试重新请求,如果第二次请求还是无法获得,则该线程会进入线程队列休眠。重试两次的机制是为了减少CPU的上下文切换的次数,以降低CPU消耗,这和Oracle中latch的spin机制是同样的道理。如果请求被Innodb接受,则会获得一个次数为innodb_concurrency_tickets(默认500次)的通行证,在次数用完之前,该线程重新请求时无须再进行前面所说innodb_thread_concurrency的检查。

上述检查逻辑在源码storage/innobase/srv/srv0srv.c(Innodb很多参数都可以在该文件中找到定义)的srv_conc_enter_innodb函数中,有兴趣的可以仔细阅读一下,代码比较浅显,不难理解。另外,如果是一个已经持有lock的线程,则通过调用srv_conc_force_enter_innodb函数可以无视该检查,这是为了避免线程长时间持有锁影响性能,且可能增加死锁的机率。除此之外,slave线程也是有无视检查直接通行的权限。

简单思考一下上述机制,可以得出一个初步的推论:在数据库并发请求较小的情况下,从性能上来说禁用检查机制应该是更好的,毕竟执行检查机制本身也需要加锁(Mutex)。当并发线程很高的情况下,则开启检查机制对性能更有利。至于具体innodb_thread_concurrency设置为多少,可能就需要在不同的条件下实际的做一下测试了,不同的硬件环境,不同的MySQL版本和Innodb版本,应该都会有一些区别。

源代码中对于innodb_thread_concurrency参数的注释如下:

/* The following controls how many threads we let inside InnoDB concurrently:
threads waiting for locks are not counted into the number because otherwise
we could get a deadlock. MySQL creates a thread for each user session, and
semaphore contention and convoy problems can occur withput this restriction.
Value 10 should be good if there are less than 4 processors + 4 disks in the
computer. Bigger computers need bigger values. Value 0 will disable the
concurrency check. */

ulong   srv_thread_concurrency  = 0;

因为检查机制需要Mutex保护(Mutex-based Model),所以开启检查本身也有性能消耗,并且扩展性也会受到限制,在MySQL5.4版本中引入了一种新的机制(Timer-based Model),这里就不讨论了,有兴趣的可以参考这里(需要翻墙),实际上XtraDB存储引擎里已经包含Timer-based Model,通过参数innodb_thread_concurrency_timer_based可以开启,默认为OFF。在MySQL5.4的srv0srv.c的源代码中的注释中,可以看到Google和Percona的版权声明,看来MySQL5.4中吸引了很多第三方的改进代码,值得期待。

从show innodb status看XtraDB的增强特性

XtraDB存储引擎相对于标准的InnoDB引擎做了很多的改进,从show innodb status的结果可以初步看到部分增强的特性。下面是一个XtraDB测试环境(Linux)的结果:

============================

从上面的结果可以看到:

  • 增加了BACKGROUND THREAD部分,显示一些后台线程的统计信息
  • SEMAPHORES部分,最后增加了一个关于spin的统计信息。引入了一个新的innodb_spin_wait_delay的参数对spin的行为进行控制
  • FILE I/O部分,innodb默认开启4个IO线程,由参数innodb_file_io_threads控制,但在unix/linux平台该参数无效,只能是默认的4个。而XtraDB/innodb plugin默认开启8个IO线程,并且读线程和写线程可以分别由参数innodb_read_io_threadsinnodb_write_io_threads控制。在多核CPU环境中,如果CPU和磁盘本身没有成为瓶颈,开启更多线程应该对提升IO性能有很好的作用。而读写线程的单独控制,则可以针对不同应用环境下的要求进行灵活配置。
  • LOG部分,增加了max checkpoint age/Modified age/Checkpoint age信息,这些信息可用于调整一些IO相关的参数,具体可参考这里
  • BUFFER POOL AND MEMORY部分,XtraDB更加详细的列出buffer pool中不同部分的详细信息,还有buffer pool的命中率和LRU的信息等,对内存的使用情况一目了然,拒绝黑箱操作。

XtraDB存储引擎

XtraDB存储引擎是percona公司对于innodb存储引擎进行改进加强后的产品,第一个版本为1.0.2-1,发布于2008年底。XtraDB兼容innodb的所有特性,并且在IO性能,锁性能,内存管理等多个方面进行了增强。

下载MySQL源代码,当前最新的5.1版本为5.1.40
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.1.html#source

下载XtraDB源代码,当前最新的版本为1.0.4-8
http://launchpad.net/percona-xtradb/release-8/1.0.4-8/+download/percona-xtradb-1.0.4-8.tar.gz

解压MySQL

tar -zxvf mysql-5.1.40.tar.gz

解压XtraDB

tar -zxvf percona-xtradb-1.0.4-8.tar.gz

将MySQL原来的innodb源码删除或者重命名

cd mysql-5.1.40/storage
mv innobase innobase_bak

将XtraDB拷贝为innobase

cp -r ../../percona-xtradb-1.0.4-8 innobase/

重新编译安装MySQL

cd ../

./configure --prefix=/home/mysql/mysql --with-extra-charsets=all
--enable-assembler --enable-profiling --enable-community-features
--with-plugins=max --with-client-ldflags=-all-static --with-plugins=all

make && make install

安装完成后,就可以按照普通的MySQL安装创建数据库流程执行相应操作即可。XtraDB实际上是基于innodb plugin的代码修改而来,所以以上安装过程和innodb plugin的安装一致。

Innodb monitor介绍

学习oracle的时候,如果想了解一些内部原理和机制,可以使用一些event来生成trace文件,通过分析这些trace文件可以获得很多的信息。而MySQL在这方面比较弱,当然,另一方面来说,MySQL是开源的,可以去直接研究源代码的实现。不过源代码架构庞大,不是每个人都有足够的精力和毅力去解读。InnoDB引擎提供了一个monitor,可以通过monitor一窥其内部的一些统计信息,也可以说是了解InnoDB引擎的一个很好的窗口。

我们最熟悉的,应当就是show innodb status命令,可以直接在客户端输出很多的信息。其实InnoDB monitor一共有四种模式,show innodb status只是其一种模式的直接展现,并且只能交互式开启,无法自动循环捕获信息。另外还有一种适合四种模式的开启方式,则是通过创建一张特殊的innodb表来开启,开启后会按照固定的时间间隔循环,输出信息到log-error参数指定的错误日志文件中,通过drop对应的表,可以停止monitor。

四种monitor分别是:

  • innodb_monitor:create table innodb_monitor(x int) engine=innodb;
  • innodb_lock_monitor:create table innodb_lock_monitor(x int) engine=innodb;
  • innodb_table_monitor:create table innodb_table_monitor(x int) engine=innodb;
  • innodb_tablespace_monitor:create table innodb_tablespace_monitor(x int) engine=innodb;

根据我在5.1.36版本中实际观察到的结果,innodb_monitor/innodb_lock_monitor开启后的执行周期是16s参考手册上说是15s),而innodb_table_monitor/innodb_tablespace_monitor的执行周期是64s。开启monitor后因为是持续周期性的运行的,在不需要的时候一定要记得drop相关表来停止monitor。如果在开启monitor的中间服务器有重启,monitor不会自动重启,并且在下次启动monitor之前,必须先执行停止操作。

其中innodb_monitor/innodb_lock_monitor两种监视器的输出结果基本类似,后者会有更多关于锁的信息,而前一个实际上就是show innodb status。innodb_table_monitor则会将系统中所有innodb的表的一些结构和内部信息输出,而innodb_tablespace_monitor则输出的是tablespace的信息,注意该monitor输出的只是共享表空间的信息,如果使用innodb_file_per_table为每个表使用独立的表空间,则这些表空间的信息是不会包含在输出中的。

以下是一些简单的示例:
