innodb buffer pool soft decommit of memory

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      Innodb buffer can fill up on things like during a mariadb-dump.

      The logically successor to MDEV-25340 to keep only the memory required for innodb actually mapped is as part of the LRU to purge off old pages if they really haven't been used in a while. These will be still allocated to mariadbd, however in a virtual non-paged in sense.

      This can be done on linux with madvise(MADV_FREE) (Linux and FreeBSD). Windows has VirtualFree MEM_DECOMMIT/MEM_RESET.

      These a proactive releases, and them mechanisms implemented can be reused to serve reactive mechanism like MDEV-24670.
