59cdee749e storage controller: fixes to secondary location handling (#7169)
Stacks on:
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7165

Fixes while working on background optimization of scheduling after a
split:
- When a tenant has secondary locations, we weren't detaching the parent
shards' secondary locations when doing a split
- When a reconciler detaches a location, it was feeding back a
locationconf with `Detached` mode in its `observed` object, whereas it
should omit that location. This could cause the background reconcile
task to keep kicking off no-op reconcilers forever (harmless but
annoying).
- During shard split, we were scheduling secondary locations for the
child shards, but no reconcile was run for these until the next time the
background reconcile task ran. Creating these ASAP is useful, because
they'll be used shortly after a shard split as the destination locations
for migrating the new shards to different nodes.

c75b584430 storage_controller: add metrics (#7178)
## Problem
Storage controller had basically no metrics.

## Summary of changes
1. Migrate the existing metrics to use Conrad's
[`measured`](https://docs.rs/measured/0.0.14/measured/) crate.
2. Add metrics for incoming http requests
3. Add metrics for outgoing http requests to the pageserver
4. Add metrics for outgoing pass through requests to the pageserver
5. Add metrics for database queries

Note that the metrics response for the attachment service does not use
chunked encoding like the rest of the metrics endpoints. Conrad has
kindly extended the crate such that it can now be done. Let's leave it
for a follow-up since the payload shouldn't be that big at this point.

4ba3f3518e test: fix on demand activation test flakyness (#7180)
Warm-up (and the "tenant startup complete" metric update) happens in
a background tokio task. The tenant map is eagerly updated (can happen
before the task finishes).

The test assumed that if the tenant map was updated, then the metric
should reflect that. That's not the case, so we tweak the test to wait
for the metric.

a5d5c2a6a0 storage controller: tech debt (#7165)
This is a mixed bag of changes split out for separate review while
working on other things, and batched together to reduce load on CI
runners. Each commits stands alone for review purposes:
- do_tenant_shard_split was a long function and had a synchronous
validation phase at the start that could readily be pulled out into a
separate function. This also avoids the special casing of
ApiError::BadRequest when deciding whether an abort is needed on errors
- Add a 'describe' API (GET on tenant ID) that will enable storcon-cli
to see what's going on with a tenant
- the 'locate' API wasn't really meant for use in the field. It's for
tests: demote it to the /debug/ prefix
- The `Single` placement policy was a redundant duplicate of Double(0),
and Double was a bad name. Rename it Attached.
(https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7107)
- Some neon_local commands were added for debug/demos, which are now
replaced by commands in storcon-cli (#7114 ). Even though that's not
merged yet, we don't need the neon_local ones any more.

Closes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7107

ad5efb49ee Support backpressure for sharding (#7100)
Add shard_number to PageserverFeedback and parse it on the compute side.
When compute receives a new ps_feedback, it calculates min LSNs among
feedbacks from all shards, and uses those LSNs for backpressure.

Add `test_sharding_backpressure` to verify that backpressure slows down
compute to wait for the slowest shard.

9752ad8489 pageserver, controller: improve secondary download APIs for large shards (#7131)
## Problem

The existing secondary download API relied on the caller to wait as long
as it took to complete -- for large shards that could be a long time, so
typical clients that might have a baked-in ~30s timeout would have a
problem.

## Summary of changes

- Take a `wait_ms` query parameter to instruct the pageserver how long
to wait: if the download isn't complete in this duration, then 201 is
returned instead of 200.
- For both 200 and 201 responses, include response body describing
download progress, in terms of layers and bytes. This is sufficient for
the caller to track how much data is being transferred and log/present
that status.
- In storage controller live migrations, use this API to apply a much
longer outer timeout, with smaller individual per-request timeouts, and
log the progress of the downloads.
- Add a test that injects layer download delays to exercise the new
behavior

Tenant deletion had a couple of TODOs where we weren't using proper
cancellation tokens that would have aborted the deletions during process
shutdown.

## Summary of changes

- Refactor enough that deletion/shutdown code has access to the
TenantManager's cancellation toke
- Use that cancellation token in tenant deletion instead of dummy
tokens.

60f30000ef tokio-epoll-uring: fallback to std-fs if not available & not explicitly requested (#7120)
fixes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7116

Changes:

- refactor PageServerConfigBuilder: support not-set values
- implement runtime feature test
- use runtime feature test to determine `virtual_file_io_engine` if not
explicitly configured in the config
- log the effective engine at startup
- drive-by: improve assertion messages in `test_pageserver_init_node_id`

This needed a tiny bit of tokio-epoll-uring work, hence bumping it.

bc1efa827f pageserver: exclude gc_horizon from synthetic size calculation (#6407)
## Problem

See:
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/6374

## Summary of changes

Whereas previously we calculated synthetic size from the gc_horizon or
the pitr_interval (whichever is the lower LSN), now we ignore gc_horizon
and exclusively start from the `pitr_interval`. This is a more generous
calculation for billing, where we do not charge users for data retained
due to gc_horizon.

22c26d610b pageserver: remove un-needed "uninit mark" (#5717)
Switched the order; doing https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/6139
first then can remove uninit marker after.

## Problem

Previously, existence of a timeline directory was treated as evidence of
the timeline's logical existence. That is no longer the case since we
treat remote storage as the source of truth on each startup: we can
therefore do without this mark file.

The mark file had also been used as a pseudo-lock to guard against
concurrent creations of the same TimelineId -- now that persistence is
no longer required, this is a bit unwieldy.

In #6139 the `Tenant::timelines_creating` was added to protect against
concurrent creations on the same TimelineId, making the uninit mark file
entirely redundant.

## Summary of changes

- Code that writes & reads mark file is removed
- Some nearby `pub` definitions are amended to `pub(crate)`
- `test_duplicate_creation` is added to demonstrate that mutual
exclusion of creations still works.

* Integrate the heartbeater into the service.
- Extend the types used by the service and scheduler to keep track of a
nodes' utilisation score.
- Add a background loop to drive the heartbeater and update the state
based on the deltas it generated
  - Do an initial round of heartbeats at start-up

8075f0965a fix(test suite) virtual_file_io_engine and get_vectored_impl patametrization doesn't work (#7113)
# Problem

While investigating #7124, I noticed that the benchmark was always using
the `DEFAULT_*` `virtual_file_io_engine` , i.e., `tokio-epoll-uring` as
of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7077.

The fundamental problem is that the `control_plane` code has its own
view of `PageServerConfig`, which, I believe, will always be a subset of
the real pageserver's `pageserver/src/config.rs`.

For the `virtual_file_io_engine` and `get_vectored_impl` parametrization
of the test suite, we were constructing a dict on the Python side that
contained these parameters, then handed it to
`control_plane::PageServerConfig`'s derived `serde::Deserialize`.
The default in serde is to ignore unknown fields, so, the Deserialize
impl silently ignored the fields.
In consequence, the fields weren't propagated to the `pageserver --init`
call, and the tests ended up using the
`pageserver/src/config.rs::DEFAULT_` values for the respective options
all the time.

Tests that explicitly used overrides in `env.pageserver.start()` and
similar were not affected by this.

But, it means that all the test suite runs where with parametrization
didn't properly exercise the code path.

# Changes

- use `serde(deny_unknown_fields)` to expose the problem  
- With this change, the Python tests that override
`virtual_file_io_engine` and
`get_vectored_impl` fail on `pageserver --init`, exposing the problem.
- use destructuring to uncover the issue in the future
- fix the issue by adding the missing fields to the `control_plane`
crate's `PageServerConf`
- A better solution would be for control plane to re-use a struct
provided
    by the pageserver crate, so that everything is in one place in
    `pageserver/src/config.rs`, but, our config parsing code is (almost)
    beyond repair anyways.
- fix the `pageserver_virtual_file_io_engine` to be responsive to the
env var
  - => required to make parametrization work in benchmarks

# Testing

Before merging this PR, I re-ran the regression tests & CI with the full
matrix of `virtual_file_io_engine` and `tokio-epoll-uring`, see

44f42627dd pageserver/controller: error handling for shard splitting (#7074)
## Problem

Shard splits worked, but weren't safe against failures (e.g. node crash
during split) yet.

Related: #6676 

## Summary of changes

- Introduce async rwlocks at the scope of Tenant and Node:
  - exclusive tenant lock is used to protect splits
- exclusive node lock is used to protect new reconciliation process that
happens when setting node active
- exclusive locks used in both cases when doing persistent updates (e.g.
node scheduling conf) where the update to DB & in-memory state needs to
be atomic.
- Add failpoints to shard splitting in control plane and pageserver
code.
- Implement error handling in control plane for shard splits: this
detaches child chards and ensures parent shards are re-attached.
- Crash-safety for storage controller restarts requires little effort:
we already reconcile with nodes over a storage controller restart, so as
long as we reset any incomplete splits in the DB on restart (added in
this PR), things are implicitly cleaned up.
- Implement reconciliation with offline nodes before they transition to
active:
- (in this context reconciliation means something like
startup_reconcile, not literally the Reconciler)
- This covers cases where split abort cannot reach a node to clean it
up: the cleanup will eventually happen when the node is marked active,
as part of reconciliation.
- This also covers the case where a node was unavailable when the
storage controller started, but becomes available later: previously this
allowed it to skip the startup reconcile.
- Storage controller now terminates on panics. We only use panics for
true "should never happen" assertions, and these cases can leave us in
an un-usable state if we keep running (e.g. panicking in a shard split).
In the unlikely event that we get into a crashloop as a result, we'll
rely on kubernetes to back us off.
- Add `test_sharding_split_failures` which exercises a variety of
failure cases during shard split.

3bd6551b36 proxy http cancellation safety (#7117)
## Problem

hyper auto-cancels the request futures on connection close.
`sql_over_http::handle` is not 'drop cancel safe', so we need to do some
other work to make sure connections are queries in the right way.

## Summary of changes

1. tokio::spawn the request handler to resolve the initial cancel-safety
issue
2. share a cancellation token, and cancel it when the request `Service`
is dropped.
3. Add a new log span to be able to track the HTTP connection lifecycle.

1b41db8bdd pageserver: enable setting stripe size inline with split request. (#7093)
## Summary

- Currently we can set stripe size at tenant creation, but it doesn't
mean anything until we have multiple shards
- When onboarding an existing tenant, it will always get a default shard
stripe size, so we would like to be able to pick the actual stripe size
at the point we split.

## Why do this inline with a split?

The alternative to this change would be to have a separate endpoint on
the storage controller for setting the stripe size on a tenant, and only
permit writes to that endpoint when the tenant has only a single shard.
That would work, but be a little bit more work for a client, and not
appreciably simpler (instead of having a special argument to the split
functions, we'd have a special separate endpoint, and a requirement that
the controller must sync its config down to the pageserver before
calling the split API). Either approach would work, but this one feels a
bit more robust end-to-end: the split API is the _very last moment_ that
the stripe size is mutable, so if we aim to set it before splitting, it
makes sense to do it as part of the same operation.

7ae8364b0b storage controller: register nodes in re-attach request (#7040)
## Problem

Currently we manually register nodes with the storage controller, and
use a script during deploy to register with the cloud control plane.
Rather than extend that script further, nodes should just register on
startup.

## Summary of changes

- Extend the re-attach request to include an optional
NodeRegisterRequest
- If the `register` field is set, handle it like a normal node
registration before executing the normal re-attach work.
- Update tests/neon_local that used to rely on doing an explicit
register step that could be enabled/disabled.

621ea2ec44 tests: try to make restored-datadir comparison tests not flaky v2
This test occasionally fails with a difference in "pg_xact/0000" file
between the local and restored datadirs. My hypothesis is that
something changed in the database between the last explicit checkpoint
and the shutdown. I suspect autovacuum, it could certainly create
transactions.

To fix, be more precise about the point in time that we compare. Shut
down the endpoint first, then read the last LSN (i.e. the shutdown
checkpoint's LSN), from the local disk with pg_controldata. And use
exactly that LSN in the basebackup.

74d09b78c7 Keep walproposer alive until shutdown checkpoint is safe on safekepeers
The walproposer pretends to be a walsender in many ways. It has a
WalSnd slot, it claims to be a walsender by calling
MarkPostmasterChildWalSender() etc. But one different to real
walsenders was that the postmaster still treated it as a bgworker
rather than a walsender. The difference is that at shutdown,
walsenders are not killed until the very end, after the checkpointer
process has written the shutdown checkpoint and exited.

As a result, the walproposer always got killed before the shutdown
checkpoint was written, so the shutdown checkpoint never made it to
safekeepers. That's fine in principle, we don't require a clean
shutdown after all. But it also feels a bit silly not to stream the
shutdown checkpoint. It could be useful for initializing hot standby
mode in a read replica, for example.

Change postmaster to treat background workers that have called
MarkPostmasterChildWalSender() as walsenders. That unfortunately
requires another small change in postgres core.

After doing that, walproposers stay alive longer. However, it also
means that the checkpointer will wait for the walproposer to switch to
WALSNDSTATE_STOPPING state, when the checkpointer sends the
PROCSIG_WALSND_INIT_STOPPING signal. We don't have the machinery in
walproposer to receive and handle that signal reliably. Instead, we
mark walproposer as being in WALSNDSTATE_STOPPING always.

In commit 568f91420a, I assumed that shutdown will wait for all the
remaining WAL to be streamed to safekeepers, but before this commit
that was not true, and the test became flaky. This should make it
stable again.

Some tests wrongly assumed that no WAL could have been written between
pg_current_wal_flush_lsn and quick pg stop after it. Fix them by introducing
flush_ep_to_pageserver which first stops the endpoint and then waits till all
committed WAL reaches the pageserver.

In passing extract safekeeper http client to its own module.

b09d686335 fix: on-demand downloads can outlive timeline shutdown (#7051)
## Problem

Before this PR, it was possible that on-demand downloads were started
after `Timeline::shutdown()`.

For example, we have observed a walreceiver-connection-handler-initiated
on-demand download that was started after `Timeline::shutdown()`s final
`task_mgr::shutdown_tasks()` call.

The underlying issue is that `task_mgr::shutdown_tasks()` isn't sticky,
i.e., new tasks can be spawned during or after
`task_mgr::shutdown_tasks()`.

Cc: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/4175 in lieu of a more
specific issue for task_mgr. We already decided we want to get rid of it
anyways.

Original investigation:
https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C033RQ5SPDH/p1709824952465949

## Changes

- enter gate while downloading
- use timeline cancellation token for cancelling download

thereby, fixes #7054

Entering the gate might also remove recent "kept the gate from closing"
in staging.

86e8c43ddf Add downgrade scripts for neon extension. (#7065)
## Problem

When we start compute with newer version of extension (i.e. 1.2) and
then rollback the release, downgrading the compute version, next compute
start will try to update extension to the latest version available in
neon.control (i.e. 1.1).

Thus we need to provide downgrade scripts like neon--1.2--1.1.sql

These scripts must revert the changes made by the upgrade scripts in the
reverse order. This is necessary to ensure that the next upgrade will
work correctly.

In general, we need to write upgrade and downgrade scripts to be more
robust and add IF EXISTS / CREATE OR REPLACE clauses to all statements
(where applicable).

## Summary of changes
Adds downgrade scripts.
Adds test cases for extension downgrade/upgrade.

0f05ef67e2 pageserver: revert open layer rolling revert (#6962)
## Problem
We reverted https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/6661 a few days
ago. The change led to OOMs in
benchmarks followed by large WAL reingests.

The issue was that we removed [this
code](d04af08567/pageserver/src/tenant/timeline/walreceiver/walreceiver_connection.rs (L409-L417)).
That call may trigger a roll of the open layer due to
the keepalive messages received from the safekeeper. Removing it meant
that enforcing
of checkpoint timeout became even more lax and led to using up large
amounts of memory
for the in memory layer indices.

## Summary of changes
Piggyback on keep alive messages to enforce checkpoint timeout. This is
a hack, but it's exactly what
the current code is doing.

## Alternatives
Christhian, Joonas and myself sketched out a timer based approach
[here](https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/6940). While discussing
it further, it became obvious that's also a bit of a hack and not the
desired end state. I chose not
to take that further since it's not what we ultimately want and it'll be
harder to rip out.

Right now it's unclear what the ideal system behaviour is:
* early flushing on memory pressure, or ...
* detaching tenants on memory pressure

4a31e18c81 storage controller: include stripe size in compute notifications (#6974)
## Problem

- The storage controller is the source of truth for a tenant's stripe
size, but doesn't currently have a way to propagate that to compute:
we're just using the default stripe size everywhere.

Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/6903

## Summary of changes

- Include stripe size in `ComputeHookNotifyRequest`
- Include stripe size in `LocationConfigResponse`

The stripe size is optional: it will only be advertised for
multi-sharded tenants. This enables the controller to defer the choice
of stripe size until we split a tenant for the first time.

270d3be507 feat(per-tenant throttling): exclude throttled time from page_service metrics + regression test (#6953)
part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/5899

Problem
-------

Before this PR, the time spent waiting on the throttle was charged
towards the higher-level page_service metrics, i.e.,
`pageserver_smgr_query_seconds`.
The metrics are the foundation of internal SLIs / SLOs.
A throttled tenant would cause the SLI to degrade / SLO alerts to fire.

Changes
-------


- don't charge time spent in throttle towards the page_service metrics
- record time spent in throttle in RequestContext and subtract it from
the elapsed time
- this works because the page_service path doesn't create child context,
so, all the throttle time is recorded in the parent
- it's quite brittle and will break if we ever decide to spawn child
tasks that need child RequestContexts, which would have separate
instances of the `micros_spent_throttled` counter.
- however, let's punt that to a more general refactoring of
RequestContext
- add a test case that ensures that
- throttling happens for getpage requests; this aspect of the test
passed before this PR
- throttling delays aren't charged towards the page_service metrics;
this aspect of the test only passes with this PR
- drive-by: make the throttle log message `info!`, it's an expected
condition

Performance
-----------

I took the same measurements as in #6706 , no meaningful change in CPU
overhead.

Future Work
-----------

This PR enables us to experiment with the throttle for select tenants
without affecting the SLI metrics / triggering SLO alerts.

Before declaring this feature done, we need more work to happen,
specifically:

- decide on whether we want to retain the flexibility of throttling any
`Timeline::get` call, filtered by TaskKind
- versus: separate throttles for each page_service endpoint, potentially
with separate config options
- the trouble here is that this decision implies changes to the
TenantConfig, so, if we start using the current config style now, then
decide to switch to a different config, it'll be a breaking change

Nice-to-haves but probably not worth the time right now:

- Equivalent tests to ensure the throttle applies to all other
page_service handlers.

f0be9400f2 fix(test_remote_storage_upload_queue_retries): became flakier since #6960 (#6999)
This PR increases the `wait_until` timeout.
These are where things became more flaky as of
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/6960.
Most likely because it doubles the work in the
`churn_while_failpoints_active_thread`.

8dc7dc79dd tests: debugging for test_secondary_downloads failures (#6984)
## Problem

- #6966 
- Existing logs aren't pointing to a cause: it looks like heatmap upload
and download are happening, but for some reason the evicted layer isn't
removed on the secondary location.

## Summary of changes

- Assert evicted layer is gone from heatmap before checking its gone
from local disk: this will give clarity on whether the issue is with the
uploads or downloads.
- On assertion failures, log the contents of heatmap.

20d0939b00 control_plane/attachment_service: implement PlacementPolicy::Secondary, configuration updates (#6521)
During onboarding, the control plane may attempt ad-hoc creation of a
secondary location to facilitate live migration. This gives us two
problems to solve:
- Accept 'Secondary' mode in /location_config and use it to put the
tenant into secondary mode on some physical pageserver, then pass
through /tenant/xyz/secondary/download requests
- Create tenants with no generation initially, since the initial
`Secondary` mode call will not provide us a generation.

This PR also fixes modification of a tenant's TenantConf during
/location_conf, which was previously ignored, and refines the flow for
config modification:
- avoid bumping generations when the only reason we're reconciling an
attached location is a config change
- increment TenantState.sequence when spawning a reconciler: usually
schedule() does this, but when we do config changes that doesn't happen,
so without this change waiters would think reconciliation was done
immediately. `sequence` is a bit of a murky thing right now, as it's
dual-purposed for tracking waiters, and for checking if an existing
reconciliation is already making updates to our current sequence. I'll
follow up at some point to clarify it's purpose.
- test config modification at the end of onboarding test

e34059cd18 pageserver: increase DEFAULT_MAX_WALRECEIVER_LSN_WAL_LAG (#6970)
## Problem

At high ingest rates, pageservers spuriously disconnect from safekeepers
because stats updates don't come in frequently enough to keep the
broker/safekeeper LSN delta under the wal lag limit.

## Summary of changes

- Increase DEFAULT_MAX_WALRECEIVER_LSN_WAL_LAG from 10MiB to 1GiB. This
should be enough for realistic per-timeline throughputs.

1efaa16260 test: add test for checkpoint timeout flushing (#6950)
## Problem
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/6661 changed the layer
flushing logic and led to OOMs in staging.
The issue turned out to be holding on to in-memory layers for too long.
After OOMing we'd need to replay potentially
a lot of WAL.

## Summary of changes
Test that open layers get flushed after the `checkpoint_timeout` config
and do not require WAL reingest upon restart.
The workload creates a number of timelines and writes some data to each,
but not enough to trigger flushes via the `checkpoint_distance` config.

I ran this test against https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/6661
and it was indeed failing.

e9e77ee744 tests: add optional cursor to log_contains + fix truthiness issues in callers (#6960)
Extracted from https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/6953

Part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/5899

Core Change
-----------

In #6953, we need the ability to scan the log _after_ a specific line
and ignore anything before that line.

This PR changes `log_contains` to returns a tuple of `(matching line,
cursor)`.
Hand that cursor to a subsequent `log_contains` call to search the log
for the next occurrence of the pattern.

Other Changes
-------------

- Inspect all the callsites of `log_contains` to handle the new tuple
return type.
- Above inspection unveiled many callers aren't using `assert
log_contains(...) is not None` but some weaker version of the code that
breaks if `log_contains` ever returns a not-None but falsy value. Fix
that.
- Above changes unveiled that `test_remote_storage_upload_queue_retries`
was using `wait_until` incorrectly; after fixing the usage, I had to
raise the `wait_until` timeout. So, maybe this will fix its flakiness.

3eb83a0ebb Provide appoximation of working set using hyper-log-log algorithm in LFC (#6935)
## Summary of changes

Calculate number of unique page accesses at compute.
It can be used to estimate working set size and adjust cache size
(shared_buffers or local file cache).

Approximation is made using HyperLogLog algorithm.
It is performed by local file cache and so is available only when local
file cache is enabled.

This calculation doesn't take in account access to the pages present in
shared buffers, but includes pages available in local file cache.

This information can be retrieved using
approximate_working_set_size(reset bool) function from neon extension.
reset parameter can be used to reset statistic and so collect unique
accesses for the particular interval.

Below is an example of estimating working set size after pgbench -c 10
-S -T 100 -s 10:
```
postgres=# select approximate_working_set_size(false);
 approximate_working_set_size 
------------------------------
                        19052
(1 row)

postgres=# select pg_table_size('pgbench_accounts')/8192;
 ?column?

4d426f6fbe feat: support lazy, queued tenant attaches (#6907)
Add off-by-default support for lazy queued tenant activation on attach.
This should be useful on bulk migrations as some tenants will be
activated faster due to operations or endpoint startup. Eventually all
tenants will get activated by reusing the same mechanism we have at
startup (`PageserverConf::concurrent_tenant_warmup`).

The difference to lazy attached tenants to startup ones is that we leave
their initial logical size calculation be triggered by WalReceiver or
consumption metrics.

Fixes: #6315

2b11466b59 pageserver: optimise disk io for vectored get (#6780)
## Problem
The vectored read path proposed in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/6576 seems
to be functionally correct, but in my testing (see below) it is about 10-20% slower than the naive
sequential vectored implementation.

## Summary of changes
There's three parts to this PR:
1. Supporting vectored blob reads. This is actually trickier than it
sounds because on disk blobs are prefixed with a variable length size header.
Since the blobs are not necessarily fixed size, we need to juggle the offsets
such that the callers can retrieve the blobs from the resulting buffer.

2. Merge disk read requests issued by the vectored read path up to a
maximum size. Again, the merging is complicated by the fact that blobs
are not fixed size. We keep track of the begin and end offset of each blob
and pass them into the vectored blob reader. In turn, the reader will return
a buffer and the offsets at which the blobs begin and end.

3. A benchmark for basebackup requests against tenant with large SLRU
block counts is added. This required a small change to pagebench and a new config
variable for the pageserver which toggles the vectored get validation.

We can probably optimise things further by adding a little bit of
concurrency for our IO. In principle, it's as simple as spawning a task which deals with issuing
IO and doing the serialisation and handling on the parent task which receives input via a
channel.
