13c0c17c (bigfile/zodb: Format #1 which is optimized for small changes) used BTree to organize ZBlk1 block's chunks and for loadblkdata() added "TODO we are missing to free internal BTree structures on data load". nexedi/wendelin.core#3 besides other things showed that even when we deactivate ZData objects, we are still keeping them as ghosts occupying memory and the same for IOBucket objects. This all happens because there is no proper way to deactivate whole btree - including internal buckets objects. And since internal buckets are not deactivated, they stay in picklecache and thus hold a reference to ZData objects and ZData objects in turn, even if explicitly deactivated, stay in memory. We can fix this all via implementing whole-btree deactivation procedure. To do so we need to iterate over all btree buckets recursively, but unfortunately there is no BTree API to access/iterate btree's buckets. We can however still get reference to first top-level buckets via gc.get_referents(btree) and then scan buckets further without hacks. gc.get_referents(btree) is a hack, but - it works in O(1) (we only get pointers from btree, not scanning all gcable objects and deducing them) - it works reliable if we filter out non-interesting objects. So in the end it works. Before the patch loading more and more ZBlk1 data with objgraph instrumentation was showing itself like # Nobj δ wendelin.bigfile.file_zodb.ZData 7168 +512 BTrees.IOBTree.IOBucket 238 +17 BTrees.IOBTree.IOBTree 14 +1 and after this patch we now have BTrees.IOBTree.IOBTree 14 +1 we cannot remove that "IOBTree + 1", since ZBlk1 is holding direct reference on it (via .chunktab) and we have to keep ZBlk1 live with ._v_zfile and ._v_zblk set for invalidation to work. "+1 IOBtree" is however small - 144 bytes per 2M (= 0.006%) so we can neglect that the same way we neglect keeping ZBlk1 staying live for each block.

This updates and fixes 487e5226 (setup: specify setuptools location explicitly when calling make.) to use @kazuhiko original idea to propagate only setuptools location.

So propagating only setuptools location practically solves the issue for now, but still there is potential risk that in future, there will be other modules put in the same location as setuptools (location is parent dir of a module/package) which python tries to load on startup and which might be incompatible between 2 & 3. Thus not setting PYTHONPATH at all - e.g. creating environments virtualenv way - would be better, but buildout fundamentally works the other way. We can not also use -c 'buildout sys.path hack' in $PYTHON itself, as $PYTHON is used in general way inside Makefile. So let the hack with setuptools location in PYTHONPATH stay there until it practically works.

@kazuhiko reports that wendelin.core build is currently broken on Python 3.5. Indeed it was: In file included from bigfile/_bigfile.c:37:0: ./include/wendelin/compat_py2.h: In function ‘_PyThreadState_UncheckedGetx’: ./include/wendelin/compat_py2.h:66:28: warning: implicit declaration of function ‘_Py_atomic_load_relaxed’ [-Wimplicit-function-declaration] return (PyThreadState*)_Py_atomic_load_relaxed(&_PyThreadState_Current); ^ ./include/wendelin/compat_py2.h:66:53: error: ‘_PyThreadState_Current’ undeclared (first use in this function) return (PyThreadState*)_Py_atomic_load_relaxed(&_PyThreadState_Current); ^ ./include/wendelin/compat_py2.h:66:53: note: each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in ./include/wendelin/compat_py2.h:67:1: warning: control reaches end of non-void function [-Wreturn-type] } ^ The story here is that in 3.5 they decided to remove direct access to _PyThreadState_Current and atomic implementations - because that might semantically conflict with other headers implementing atomics - and provide only access by function. Starting from Python 3.5.2rc1 the function to get current thread state without asserting it is !NULL - _PyThreadState_UncheckedGet() - was added: https://github.com/python/cpython/commit/df858591 so for those python versions we can directly use it. After the fix wendelin.core tox tests pass under all python2.7, python3.4 and python3.5. More context here: https://bugs.python.org/issue26154 https://bugs.python.org/issue25150 Fixes: #1

_PyThreadState_Current_GET() is a function to get current python thread state without asserting it is !NULL. It was added as part of d53271b9 (bigfile/virtmem: Big Virtmem lock) We are going to adapt it to Python 3.5 (see next patch), so before doing so move it to our compatibility place. In the new place the name is _PyThreadState_UncheckedGet -- like such function is named in Python 3.5 (again, see next patch). Updates: nexedi/wendelin.core#1

Since the beginning of pagemap (45af76e6 "bigfile/pagemap: specialized {} uint64 -> void * mapping") we had a bug sitting in __pagemap_for_each_leaftab() (non-leaf iterating logic behind pagemap_for_each): After entry to stack-down was found, we did not updated tailv[l] accordingly. Thus if there are non-adjacent entries an entry could be e.g. emitted many times: l 3 __down 0x7f79da1ee000 tailv[4]: 0x7f79da1ee000 -> tailv[4] 0x7f79da1ee000 __down 0x7f79da1ed000 l 4 __down 0x7f79da1ed000 tailv[5]: 0x7f79da1ed000 h 5 l 5 leaftab: 0x7f79da1ed000 <-- lvl 5 idx 169 page 0x55aa ok 9 - pagemap_for_each(0) == 21930 l 5 __down (nil) tailv[4]: 0x7f79da1ee008 -> tailv[4] 0x7f79da1ee008 __down 0x7f79da1ed000 l 4 __down 0x7f79da1ed000 tailv[5]: 0x7f79da1ed000 h 5 l 5 leaftab: 0x7f79da1ed000 <-- lvl 5 idx 169 page 0x55aa not ok 10 - pagemap_for_each(1) == 140724106500272 And many-time-emitted entries are not only incorrect, but can also lead to not-handled segmentation faults in e.g. fileh_close(): https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/wendelin.core/blob/v0.6-1-gb0b2c52/bigfile/virtmem.c#L179 /* drop all pages (dirty or not) associated with this fileh */ pagemap_for_each(page, &fileh->pagemap) { /* it's an error to close fileh to mapping of which an access is * currently being done in another thread */ BUG_ON(page->state == PAGE_LOADING); page_drop_memory(page); list_del(&page->lru); <-- HERE bzero(page, sizeof(*page)); /* just in case */ free(page); } ( because after first bzero of a page, the page is all 0 bytes including page->lru{.next,.prev} so on the second time when the same page is emitted by pagemap_for_each, list_del(&page->lru) will try to set page->lru.next = ... which will segfault. ) So fix it by properly updating tailv[l] while we scan/iterate current level. NOTE This applies only to non-leaf pagemap levels, as leaf level is scanned with separate loop in pagemap_for_each. That's why we probably did not noticed this earlier - up until now our usual workloads was to change data in adjacent batches and that means adjacent pages. Though today @Tyagov was playing with wendelin.core in some other way and it uncovered the bug.

In the time when README.rst was initially introduced (58279ac7 "readme: Initial draft") GitLab was not handling relative links well and it was necessary to construct them properly by hand. Nowdays GitLab automatically adds namespace and project and blob/ref/ prefix to relative URL link, so there is no need to specify them manually. Actually specifying the prefix manually makes URL invalid, as it becomes something like https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/wendelin.core/blob/master/wendelin.core/blob/master/demo/demo_zbigarray.py Fix it.

For ZBlk1 we already compare ZData content about whether it was changed compared to data already stored to DB, and do not store it twice if data is the same. However ZBlk itself is always marked as changed, if corresponding memory page was dirtied. This results in transactions like Trans #33915309 tid=03b6944919befeee time=2016-04-17 22:01:06.034237 offset=140320105842 status=' ' user='...' description='...' # ... other parts, but no ZData here data #00002 oid=000000000026fc4c size=79 class=wendelin.bigfile.file_zodb.ZBlk1 where ZBlk1 is committed the same without necessity. NOTE we cannot avoid committing ZBlk in all cases, because it is used to signal other DB clients that a ZBlk needs to be invalidated and this way associated fileh pages are invalidated too. This cannot work via ZData, because ZData don't have back-pointer to ZBlk1 or to corresponding zfile.

Starting from setuptools 19.4, more concrete from the following commit: https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/commit/ebc54982 setuptools sorts namespaced packages .__path__ to be in sync with sys.path . That however breaks for wendelin.core used from in-tree or installed in development mode, because we are doing tricks in top-level import redirector (see e870781d "Top-level in-tree import redirector"): (z+numpy.v2)kirr@teco:~/tmp/trashme/wendelin.core$ python -c 'import wendelin' Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "wendelin.py", line 39, in <module> __import__('pkg_resources').declare_namespace(__name__) File "/home/kirr/src/wendelin/venv/z+numpy.v2/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2081, in declare_namespace _handle_ns(packageName, path_item) File "/home/kirr/src/wendelin/venv/z+numpy.v2/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2026, in _handle_ns _rebuild_mod_path(path, packageName, module) File "/home/kirr/src/wendelin/venv/z+numpy.v2/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2050, in _rebuild_mod_path orig_path.sort(key=position_in_sys_path) File "/home/kirr/src/wendelin/venv/z+numpy.v2/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2045, in position_in_sys_path return sys_path.index(_normalize_cached(os.sep.join(parts))) ValueError: '/home/kirr/tmp/trashme' is not in list Here wendelin.py added /home/kirr/tmp/trashme/wendelin.core to .__path__ and setuptools' _handle_ns() wants to order that dir's parent in correspondence with sys.path, but parent path is not there - oops. We can workaround the problem, by first not initializing .__path__ and letting __import__('pkg_resources').declare_namespace(__name__) fully handle and initialize it, and only after it is done we make the correction for wendelin modules located not under .../wendelin.core/wendelin/ but under .../wendelin.core/ . Importing was tested to work with the fix with both setuptools 20.6.7 and older setuptools 17.1.1, i.e. here we should not be breaking backward compatibility. /reported-by @tatuya, @Camata, @Tyagov /reviewed-on kirr/wendelin.core!1

Commit ab9ca2df (bigarray: Add support for FORTRAN ordering) added ability to define array order, but there I made a mistake of not caring about how previously-saved to DB arrays would be read back. The thing is BigArray gained new data member ._order which is automatically saved to DB thanks to ZBigArray inheriting from Persistent; on load-from-db path we just read object state from DB, which for ZBigArray is dict, and restore object attributes from it. But for previously-saved data, obviously, there is no 'order' entry and thus this way restored objects are restored not in full to current code expectations and it can boom e.g. this way: zarray.resize((new_one,old_shape[1])) Module wendelin.bigarray, line 190, in resize self._init0(new_shape, self.dtype, order=self._order) AttributeError: 'ZBigArray' object has no attribute '_order' Solution to fix is: on restore-from-DB path, see if a data member is not present on restored object, and if it has default value in BigArray set it to that. ( code to get function defaults is from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12627118/get-a-function-arguments-default-value ) /cc @Tyagov, @klaus

loadblk() calls are potentially slow and external code that serve the cal can take other locks in addition to virtmem lock taken by virtmem subsystem. If that "other locks" are also taken before external code calls e.g. fileh_invalidate_page() in different codepath a deadlock can happen, e.g. T1 T2 page-access invalidation-from-server received V -> loadblk Z <- ClientStorage.invalidateTransaction() Z -> zeo.load V <- fileh_invalidate_page The solution to avoid deadlock is to call loadblk() with virtmem lock released and upon loadblk() completion recheck virtmem data structures carefully. To make that happen: - new page state is introduces: PAGE_LOADING (file content loading is in progress) - virtmem releases virt_lock before calling loadblk() when serving pagefault - because loading is now done with virtmem lock released, now: 1. After loading completes we need to recheck fileh/vma data structures The recheck is done in full - vma_on_pagefault() just asks its driver (see VM_RETRY and VM_HANDLED codes) to retry handling the fault completely. This should work as the freshly loaded page was just inserted into fileh->pagemap and should be found there in the cache on next lookup. On the other hand this also works correctly, if there was concurrent change - e.g. vma was unmapped while we were loading the data - in that case the fault will be also processed correctly - but loaded data will stay in fileh->pagemap (and if not used will be evicted as not-needed eventually by RAM reclaim). 2. Similar to retrying mechanism is used for cases when two threads concurrently access the same page and would both try to load corresponding block - only one thread issues the actual loadblk() and another waits for load to complete with polling and VM_RETRY. 3. To correctly invalidate loading-in-progress pages another new page state is introduced: PAGE_LOADING_INVALIDATED (file content loading was in progress while request to invalidate the page came in) which fileh_invalidate_page() uses to propagate invalidation message to loadblk() caller. 4. Blocks loading can now happen in parallel with other block loading and other virtmem operations - e.g. invalidation. For such cases tests are added to test_thread.py 5. virtmem lock now becomes just regular lock, instead of being previously recursive. For virtmem lock to be recursive was needed for cases, when code under loadblk() could trigger other virtmem calls, e.g. due to GC and calling another VMA dtor that would want to lock virtmem, but virtmem lock was already held. This is no longer needed. 6. To catch double faults we now cannot use just on static variable in_on_pagefault. That variable thus becomes thread-local. 7. Old test in test_thread to "test that access vs access don't overlap" no longer holds true - and is thus removed. /cc @Tyagov, @klaus

Previously we were doing virt_lock() / virt_unlock() which automatically were making sure to unlock GIL before locking virtmem, and to restore GIL state to previous after virtmem lock happened. virt_unlock() was unlocking just the virtmem lock without touching GIL at all - that works because the running code would eventually release GIL as python regularly does so to allowing multiple threads to run. In the next patch however, we'll need to wait for in-progress-loading page to complete, and that wait has to be done with GIL released (so other python threads could run), and for doing so we'll need functionality to make sure GIL is unlocked and retake it back, not tied to virt_lock(). So factor it out.

NotifyChannel was introduced in c7c01ce4 (bigfile/zodb: ZODB.Connection can migrate between threads on close/open and we have to care) to test thread interaction specific to ZODB. We'll however need NotifyChannel to do more threading test of virtmem core, and this way the proper place for NotifyChannel is test_thread.py itself. Move it.

Currently wendelin.core does not work on e.g. Debian 7, because that distro has too old kernel without support for fallocate on tmpfs. But the diagnostics of failure is not clear and looks like just being out of memory: bigfile/tests/../virtmem.c:845 OOM BUG! what happens in fact is that - virtmem tries to allocate a page -> calls shmfs_alloc_page(), - fallocate() fails with "operation not supported" error code - virtmem sees this as page allocation failure, - tries to reclaim pages, - but there are no allocated pages at all -> OOM Detect whether fallocate() error is operational error, or simply "fallocate not supported" and if latter, report to user. Now it looks like: bigfile/tests/../ram_shmfs.c:129 shmfs_alloc_page WARN: fallocate() not supported bigfile/tests/../virtmem.c:845 OOM BUG! /cc @Tyagov

Until now BigArrays could use only C-style ordering - where major index is the first one. Fortran ordering is the opposite - where major index is the last one - and is used in Fortran world and sometimes by scientists in other areas. As people keep on asking for Fortran-ordered BigArrays, let's add support for it. The essential code change is to change 0'th index to major index in __getitem__ and rest of the code. For the reference: ndarray memory layout for different orders is described here: http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/arrays.ndarray.html#internal-memory-layout-of-an-ndarray

Since 13c0c17c (bigfile/zodb: Format #1 which is optimized for small changes) each ZBlk is split into chunks, and the procedure to load/save blk data collects/disassembles the chunks. Previously in bigfile/zodb tests, we were testing by verifying only [0] element in each block, so this way most code for chunks collection/disassembling was not tested. Fix this aspect by making sure whole block content is as would-be expected in tests.

ZBlk* objects are intermediate ZODB object in between data stored in ZODB and memory pages managed by virtmem. As such, after they do their job to either load data from DB to memory, or store from memory to DB, it is not needed to keep them alive with duplicate content thus only wasting memory. ZBlk0 cares about this detail via "deactivating" ._v_blkdata in loadblkdata() and __getstate__() prologues. ZBlk1 did the same for load path in loadblkdata() prologue, but for .__getstate__() it was not directly possible, because for ZBlk1 the state is IOBTree, not one non-persistent object, and thus it first needs to be processed by ZODB together with its subobjects on its way to storage and only then all they deactivated. So 13c0c17c (bigfile/zodb: Format #1 which is optimized for small changes) only put TODO for memory-page -> DB path about not wasting memory this way. But the problem is relatively easy to solve: - we can deactivate ZData objects (leaf objects in ZBlk1.chunktab btree) by hooking into ZData.__getstate__() prologue; - we also need to care to deactivate chunks right away, which setblkdata() loaded to compare .data and found them to be not changed This way we do not waste memory keeping intermediate ZData objects alive with the same content as memory page after commit. /cc @Tyagov

ZBlk1.setblkdata() has logic to detect CHUNKSIZE change, and if so recreate whole chunktab from scratch for simplicity. There was a thinko however - len(chunk.data) == CHUNKSIZE is ok and actually very often happens when data does not have zeroes. Because of this off-by-1 comparison mistake, ZData objects were constantly created and thrown out instead of being reused which led to fast ZODB growth. Fix it. /reported-by @Tyagov

Our current workloads are mostly a lot of small data changes and this is what ZBlk1 was created for. Yes it has larger overhead for accessing data, but we already painted the way how to handle this in 13c0c17c (bigfile/zodb: Format #1 which is optimized for small changes) -> move data deduplication/management to server side. So be it ZBlk1 the default for now. /cc @Tyagov, @klaus
