## Problem
Image layers may be nested inside in-memory layers as diagnosed
[here](https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10720#issuecomment-2649419252).
The read path doesn't support this and may skip over the image layer,
resulting in a failure to reconstruct the page.
## Summary of changes
We already support nesting of image layers inside delta layers. The
logic lives in `LayerMap::select_layer`.
The main goal of this PR is to propagate the candidate in-memory layer
down to that point and update
the selection logic.
Important changes are:
1. Support partial reads for the in-memory layer. Previously, we could
only specify the start LSN of the read.
We need to control the end LSN too.
2. `LayerMap::ranged_search` considers in-memory layers too. Previously,
the search for in-memory layers
was done explicitly in `Timeline::get_reconstruct_data_timeline`. Note
that `LayerMap::ranged_search` now returns
a weak readable layer which the `LayerManager` can upgrade. This dance
is such that we can unit test the layer selection logic.
3. Update `LayerMap::select_layer` to consider the candidate in-memory
layer too
Loosely related drive bys:
1. Remove the "keys not found" tracking in the ranged search. This
wasn't used anywhere and it just complicates things.
2. Remove the difficulty map stuff from the layer map. Again, not used
anywhere.

Updates storage components to edition 2024. We like to stay on the
latest edition if possible. There is no functional changes, however some
code changes had to be done to accommodate the edition's breaking
changes.
The PR has two commits:
* the first commit updates storage crates to edition 2024 and appeases
`cargo clippy` by changing code. i have accidentially ran the formatter
on some files that had other edits.
* the second commit performs a `cargo fmt`
I would recommend a closer review of the first commit and a less close
review of the second one (as it just runs `cargo fmt`).

## Problem
We wish to have high level WAL decoding logic in `wal_decoder::decoder`
module.
## Summary of Changes
For this we need the `Value` and `NeonWalRecord` types accessible there, so:
1. Move `Value` and `NeonWalRecord` to `pageserver::value` and
`pageserver::record` respectively.
2. Get rid of `pageserver::repository` (follow up from (1))
3. Move PG specific WAL record types to `postgres_ffi::walrecord`. In
theory they could live in `wal_decoder`, but it would create a circular
dependency between `wal_decoder` and `postgres_ffi`. Long term it makes
sense for those types to be PG version specific, so that will work out nicely.
4. Move higher level WAL record types (to be ingested by pageserver)
into `wal_decoder::models`

## Problem
We recently added a "visibility" state to layers, but nothing
initializes it.
Part of:
- #8398
## Summary of changes
- Add a dependency on `range-set-blaze`, which is used as a fast
incrementally updated alternative to KeySpace. We could also use this to
replace the internals of KeySpaceRandomAccum if we wanted to. Writing a
type that does this kind of "BtreeMap & merge overlapping entries" thing
isn't super complicated, but no reason to write this ourselves when
there's a third party impl available.
- Add a function to layermap to calculate visibilities for each layer
- Add a function to Timeline to call into layermap and then apply these
visibilities to the Layer objects.
- Invoke the calculation during startup, after image layer creations,
and when removing branches. Branch removal and image layer creation are
the two ways that a layer can go from Visible to Covered.
- Add unit test & benchmark for the visibility calculation
- Expose `pageserver_visible_physical_size` metric, which should always
be <= `pageserver_remote_physical_size`.
- This metric will feed into the /v1/utilization endpoint later: the
visible size indicates how much space we would like to use on this
pageserver for this tenant.
- When `pageserver_visible_physical_size` is greater than
`pageserver_resident_physical_size`, this is a sign that the tenant has
long-idle branches, which result in layers that are visible in
principle, but not used in practice.
This does not keep visibility hints up to date in all cases:
particularly, when creating a child timeline, any previously covered
layers will not get marked Visible until they are accessed.
Updates after image layer creation could be implemented as more of a
special case, but this would require more new code: the existing depth
calculation code doesn't maintain+yield the list of deltas that would be
covered by an image layer.
## Performance
This operation is done rarely (at startup and at timeline deletion), so
needs to be efficient but not ultra-fast.
There is a new `visibility` bench that measures runtime for a synthetic
100k layers case (`sequential`) and a real layer map (`real_map`) with
~26k layers.
The benchmark shows runtimes of single digit milliseconds (on a ryzen
7950). This confirms that the runtime shouldn't be a problem at startup
(as we already incur S3-level latencies there), but that it's slow
enough that we definitely shouldn't call it more often than necessary,
and it may be worthwhile to optimize further later (things like: when
removing a branch, only bother scanning layers below the branchpoint)

- Rename "filename" types which no longer map directly to a filename
(LayerFileName -> LayerName)
- Add a -v1- part to local layer paths to smooth the path to future
updates (we anticipate a -v2- that uses checksums later)
- Rename methods that refer to the string-ized version of a LayerName to
no longer be called "filename"
- Refactor reconcile() function to use a LocalLayerFileMetadata type
that includes the local path, rather than carrying local path separately
in a tuple and unwrap()'ing it later.

https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/5960)
## Problem
To accommodate multiple shards in the same tenant on the same
pageserver, we must include the full TenantShardId in local paths. That
means that all code touching local storage needs to see the
TenantShardId.
## Summary of changes
- Replace `tenant_id: TenantId` with `tenant_shard_id: TenantShardId` on
Tenant, Timeline and RemoteTimelineClient.
- Use TenantShardId in helpers for building local paths.
- Update all the relevant call sites.
This doesn't update absolutely everything: things like PageCache,
TaskMgr, WalRedo are still shard-naive. The purpose of this PR is to
update the core types so that others code can be added/updated
incrementally without churning the most central shared types.
Accidentially giving is_incremental=true for ImageLayers costs a lot of
debugging time. Removes all API which would allow to do that. They can
easily be restored later *when needed*.
Split off from #4938.

## Summary of changes
Remove LayerDescriptor and remove `todo!`. At the same time, this PR
adds `AsLayerDesc` trait for all persistent layers and changed
`LayerFileManager` to have a generic type. For tests, we are now using
`LayerObject`, which is a wrapper around `PersistentLayerDesc`.

## Problem
part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/4392, continuation
of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/4408
## Summary of changes
This PR removes all layer objects from LayerMap and moves it to the
timeline struct. In timeline struct, LayerFileManager maps a layer
descriptor to a layer object, and it is stored in the same RwLock as
LayerMap to avoid behavior difference.
Key changes:
* LayerMap now does not have generic, and only stores descriptors.
* In Timeline, we add a new struct called layer mapping.
* Currently, layer mapping is stored in the same lock with layer map.
Every time we retrieve data from the layer map, we will need to map the
descriptor to the actual object.
* Replace_historic is moved to layer mapping's replace, and the return
value behavior is different from before. I'm a little bit unsure about
this part and it would be good to have some comments on that.
* Some test cases are rewritten to adapt to the new interface, and we
can decide whether to remove it in the future because it does not make
much sense now.
* LayerDescriptor is moved to `tests` module and should only be intended
for unit testing / benchmarks.
* Because we now have a usage pattern like "take the guard of lock, then
get the reference of two fields", we want to avoid dropping the
incorrect object when we intend to unlock the lock guard. Therefore, a
new set of helper function `drop_r/wlock` is added. This can be removed
in the future when we finish the refactor.
TODOs after this PR: fully remove RemoteLayer, and move LayerMapping to
a separate LayerCache.

## Summary of changes
This PR adds a new HashMap that maps persistent layer desc to the layer
object *inside* LayerMap. Originally I directly went towards adding such
layer cache in Timeline, but the changes are too many and cannot be
reviewed as a reasonably-sized PR. Therefore, we take this intermediate
step to change part of the codebase to use persistent layer desc, and
come up with other PRs to move this hash map of layer desc to the
timeline struct.
Also, file_size is now part of the layer desc.

This reverts commit 732acc5.
Reverted PR: #3869
As noted in PR #4094, we do in fact try to insert duplicates to the
layer map, if L0->L1 compaction is interrupted. We do not have a proper
fix for that right now, and we are in a hurry to make a release to
production, so revert the changes related to this to the state that we
have in production currently. We know that we have a bug here, but
better to live with the bug that we've had in production for a long
time, than rush a fix to production without testing it in staging first.

Adds a method to replace a particular layer from the LayerMap for the
purposes of remote layer download and layer eviction. In those use cases
read lock on layer map needs to be released after initial search, but
other operations could modify layermap before replacing thread gets to
run.

refactor: use new type LayerFileName when referring to layer file names in PathBuf/RemotePath
Before this patch, we would sometimes carry around plain file names in
`Path` types and/or awkwardly "rebase" paths to have a unified
representation of the layer file name between local and remote.
This patch introduces a new type `LayerFileName` which replaces the use
of `Path` / `PathBuf` / `RemotePath` in the `storage_sync2` APIs.
Instead of holding a string, it contains the parsed representation of
the image and delta file name.
When we need the file name, e.g., to construct a local path or
remote object key, we construct the name ad-hoc.
`LayerFileName` is also serde {Dese,Se}rializable, and in an initial
version of this patch, it was supposed to be used directly inside
`IndexPart`, replacing `RemotePath`.
However,
commit 3122f3282f
Ignore backup files (ones with .n.old suffix) in download_missing
fixed handling of `*.old` backup file names in IndexPart, and we need
to carry that behavior forward.
The solution is to remove `*.old` backup files names during
deserialization. When we re-serialize the IndexPart, the `*.old` file
will be gone.
This leaks the `.old` file in the remote storage, but makes it safe
to clean it up later.
There is additional churn by a preliminary refactoring that got squashed
into this change:
split off LayerMap's needs from trait Layer into super trait
That refactoring renames `Layer` to `PersistentLayer` and splits off a subset
of the functions into a super-trait called `Layer`.
The upser trait implements just the functions needed by `LayerMap`, whereas
`PersisentLayer` adds the context of the pageserver.
The naming is imperfect as some functions that reside in `PersistentLayer`
have nothing persistence-specific to it. But it's a step in the right direction.
