What is the structure of a transaction ID. This is generated by the client
|
|
(or transaction manager) and is passed through to the disk by Lfs.
|
|
|
|
Can't store the next Lsn in a log record header because its exact location
|
|
may not be known when a log record is being written (in-memory) or a
|
|
page block is being written to disk. This is because the write to disk
|
|
may occur before the next log record is received and there is no way to
|
|
know if it will fit in the remaining part of the file or will wrap and
|
|
be written to the beginning of the file.
|
|
|
|
Log records that require multi-page allocation blocks will begin at the
|
|
beginning of a page block. Then the fields which describe the data shift
|
|
can be in a page header record and not a log record header.
|
|
|
|
We restrict the data size of a log record to 32 bits.
|
|
|
|
Log record types: We have an enumerated type for all log record, not
|
|
a main type and subtypes. i.e. all commit protocol records are defined
|
|
at the top level.
|
|
|
|
Multi-page blocks: Page headers indicate whether they are the first
|
|
or last page. During Lfs restart these pages may be walked through.
|
|
As far as the analysis algorithm goes, these can be thought of as a
|
|
single unit. All page(s) must be found or this will be considered
|
|
a bad page(s), the next page then must be read to discover if this is
|
|
a fatal error or the point where the system crashed.
|
|
|
|
Looking up multipage via Lsn: Given Lsn pin appropriate page and look
|
|
at log record. If single page then done. Otherwise, unpin page and
|
|
pin multiple pages.
|
|
|
|
For what operations do we need to check the update sequence array in
|
|
the page headers.
|
|
|
|
Log file header prior to restart areas. This will be a single system page
|
|
and contain the log file base values which will allow both copies of the
|
|
restart area to be found. This information will be duplicated in the restart
|
|
areas so that if the sector containing the file header goes bad, an
|
|
intelligent choice can be made for where to search for the first Lfs
|
|
restart area. (Or we could duplicate it in the first x sectors).
|
|
|
|
Should we checksum the log file header.
|
|
|
|
Added client Id to the log record header.
|
|
|
|
Is it reasonable to use a USHORT to index into the client array and a USHORT
|
|
for the client sequence number.
|
|
|
|
Do we even need a sequence number. Will the index number be sufficient to
|
|
walk forward through the log records. When will the index be reused, only
|
|
when a client closes his loghandle. In that case it will be impossible to
|
|
start searching from an out of date Lsn.
|
|
|
|
Change InitializeReadContext to LfsContextReadFirst and return the first Lsn.
|
|
Read Next is LfsContextReadNext.
|
|
|
|
May not need the LfsPreviousLsn in the log record header.
|
|
|
|
Log record enumeration. Walking forwards, client will probably run
|
|
out unexpectedly.
|
|
|
|
Log record enumeration. Walking backwards, take Lsn, determine Log page
|
|
boundary. Pin log page, if multiple pages unpin and repin multiple pages.
|
|
|
|
Walking backwards, how likely are we to want to stay in the same log
|
|
page for several records.
|
|
|
|
Enumerating. It is possible we are pinning pages for read and may be trying
|
|
to write them at the same time.
|
|
|
|
If we have a page pinned multiple times, will that prevent it from being
|
|
flushed with a ccflush call.
|
|
|
|
Will a client want to look at several log records at once, or only one
|
|
at a time. The current interface supports only one at a time.
|
|
|
|
LOG CONTEXT BLOCK
|
|
|
|
No synchronization of access to the log context block. Client
|
|
shares the block at his own risk.
|
|
|
|
How to resolve that enumeration may pin (for a while) a block of
|
|
pages that are trying to be flushed.
|
|
|
|
Enumeration (in the forward direction) may be trying to read a lsn
|
|
as it is being written. Solution, write the log record before updating
|
|
the last Lsn in the page header.
|
|
|
|
This may make the LastLsn number in the context block obsolete as it
|
|
may be outdated. However, any later Lsn's wouldn't have existed when
|
|
the client started this call. Should we hide all new log records
|
|
from him.
|
|
|
|
Log file. How big may it be (ULONG, LARGE_INT)
|
|
|
|
Log buffer control block. Access via global spinlock. Sets up frame for
|
|
next write and then releases it. Count is kept in block of active writers,
|
|
can't be flushed until active count is zero. Does this make sense, how
|
|
do we wait until active count is zero.
|
|
|
|
Lsn should be 96 bits. 64 bit file offset and 32 bit sequence value.
|
|
The interface with the Lfs provides that the address of this structure
|
|
be passed.
|
|
|
|
Is it expensive to allocate and deallocate an event each time a new buffer
|
|
is used.
|
|
|
|
Can the restart areas offset safely be a ULONG.
|
|
|
|
How can log service initiate a sector revectoring.
|
|
|
|
Start log file sequence number at 1, then 0 indicates we have just wrapped.
|
|
|
|
Since write operations to the log file must be serialized, there is no
|
|
reason not to let the worker thread perform all the writes.

|
|
|

How do we store the update sequence stride on disk to read on a different
|
|
system??
|
|
|
|
What do we do when there is an I/O error writing to the disk?? How does
|
|
an operation know that a previous I/O error has occurred??
|
|
|
|
Do multiple clients open the same log file with the same file object or
|
|
the same file?? (We could always check if the context pointers match)
|
|
|
|
How do we disable the update sequence mechanics in order to originally
|
|
recognize the log file.
