reorganise innodb buffer pool (and remove buffer pool chunks)

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    Description

      copied from MDEV-25341:

      • The buf_pool.free as well as the buffer pool blocks that are backing store for the AHI or lock_sys could be doubly linked with each other via bytes allocated within the page frame itself. We do not need a dummy buf_page_t for such blocks.
      • We could allocate a contiguous virtual address range for the maximum supported size of buffer pool, and let the operating system physically allocate a subset of these addresses. The complicated logic of having multiple buffer pool chunks can be removed. On 32-bit architectures, the maximum size could be about 2GiB. On 64-bit architectures, the virtual address bus often is 48 bits (around 256 TiB). Perhaps we could shift some burden to the user and introduce a startup parameter innodb_buffer_pool_size_max.
