"cargo clippy" started to complain about these, after running "cargo
update". Not sure why it didn't complain before, but seems reasonable to
fix these. (The "cargo update" is not included in this commit)
download operations of all timelines for one tenant are now grouped
together so when attach is invoked pageserver downloads all of them
and registers them in a single apply_sync_status_update call so
branches can be used safely with attach/detach
The SyncQueue consisted of a tokio mpsc channel, and an atomic counter
to keep track of how many items there are in the channel. Updating the
atomic counter was racy, and sometimes the consumer would decrement
the counter before the producer had incremented it, leading to integer
wraparound to usize::MAX. Calling Vec::with_capacity(usize::MAX) leads
to a panic.
To fix, replace the channel with a VecDeque protected by a Mutex, and
a condition variable for signaling. Now that the queue is now
protected by standard blocking Mutex and Condvar, refactor the
functions touching it to be sync, not async.
A theoretical downside of this is that the calls to push items to the
queue and the storage sync thread that drains the queue might now need
to wait, if another thread is busy manipulating the queue. I believe
that's OK; the lock isn't held for very long, and these operations are
made in background threads, not in the hot GetPage@LSN path, so
they're not very latency-sensitive.
Fixes#1719. Also add a test case.
