there's no need to simplify the uploading; the uploading is not on
within this one future which will be executed so it's not safe to just
remove it or revert it back.
also I am hesitant to add new changes at this point, the diff is large
enough.
with the SharedRetried the first request creates a task which will
continue to the pause point regardless of the first request, so we need
to accept a 404 as success.
## Describe your changes
`pageserver_disconnect()` calls `PQfinish()` which deallocates resources
on the connection structure. `PQerrorMessage()` hands back a pointer to
an allocated resource. Duplicate the error message prior to calling
`pageserver_disconnect()`.

Await for upload to complete before returning 201 Created on
`branch_timeline` or when `bootstrap_timeline` happens. Should either of
those waits fail, then on the retried request await for uploads again.
This should work as expected assuming control-plane does not start to
use timeline creation as a wait_for_upload mechanism.

After tenant attach, there is a window where the child timeline is
loaded and accepts GetPage requests, but its parent is not. If a
GetPage request needs to traverse to the parent, it needs to wait for
the parent timeline to become active, or it might miss some records on
the parent timeline.
It's also possible that the parent timeline is active, but it hasn't
yet received all the WAL up to the branch point from the safekeeper.
This happens if a pageserver crashes soon after creating a timeline,
so that the WAL leading to the branch point has not yet been uploaded
to remote storage. After restart, the WAL will be re-streamed and
ingested from the safekeeper, but that takes a while. Because of that,
it's not enough to check that the parent timeline is active, we also
need to wait for the WAL to arrive on the parent timeline, just like
at the beginning of GetPage handling. We probably should change the
behavior at create_timeline so that a timeline can only be created
after all the WAL up to the branch point has been uploaded to remote
storage, but that's not currently the case and out of scope for this
PR (see github issue #4218).
@NanoBjorn encountered this while working on tenant migration. After
migrating a tenant with a parent and child branch, connecting to the
child branch failed with an error like:
```
FATAL: "base/16385" is not a valid data directory
DETAIL: File "base/16385/PG_VERSION" is missing.
```
This commit adds two tests that reproduce the bug, with slightly
different symptoms.
Before this PR, the gather_inputs() calls made to imitate synthetic size
calculation accesses were accounted towards the real logical size
calculation metric.
This PR forces all callers to declare the cause for making logical size
calculations, making the decision which cause counts towards which
metric explicit.
This is follow-up to

logical size calculation metrics: differentiate regular vs imitated (#4197)
```
After merging this patch, I hope to be able to explain why we have ca
30x more "logical size" ops in prod than "imitate logical size" for any
given observation interval.

We already have the warn!() log line for this condition. This PR adds a
corresponding metric on which we can have a dedicated alert. Cheaper and
more reliable than alerting on the logs, because, we run into log rate
limits from time to time these days.

This PR adds tests runs on Postgres 15 and created unified Allure report
with results for all tests.
- Split `.github/actions/allure-report` into
`.github/actions/allure-report-store` and
`.github/actions/allure-report-generate`
- Add debug or release pytest parameter for all tests (depending on
`BUILD_TYPE` env variable)
- Add Postgres version as a pytest parameter for all tests (depending on
`DEFAULT_PG_VERSION` env variable)
- Fix `test_wal_restore` and `restore_from_wal.sh` to support path with
`[`/`]` in it (fixed by applying spellcheck to the script and fixing all
warnings), `restore_from_wal_archive.sh` is deleted as unused.
- All known failures on Postgres 15 marked with xfail
While investigating https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/4154 I
found that the `Calculating logical size for timeline` tracing events
created from within the logical size computation code are not always
attributable to the background task that caused it.
My goal is to be able to distinguish in the logs whether a `Calculating
logical size for timeline` was logged as part of a real synthetic size
calculation VS an imitation by the eviction task.
I want this distinction so I can prove my assumption that the disk IO
peaks which we see every 24h on prod are due to eviction's imitate
synthetic size calculations.
The alternative here, which I would have preferred, but is more work:
link RequestContext's into a child->parent list and dump this list when
we log `Calculating logical size for timeline`.
I would have preferred that over what we have in this PR because,
technically, the ondemand logical size computation can outlive the
caller that spawned it. This is against the idea of correctly nested
spans.
I guess in OpenTelemetry land, the correct modelling would be a link
between the caller's span and the task_mgr task's span.
Anyways, I think the case where we hang up on the spawned ondemand
logical size calculation is quite rare. So, I'm willing to tolerate
incorrectly nested spans for these edge-cases.

I would like to know whether and by how much the eviction iterations
spike in the $period-sized window that happens every $threshold , when
all the timelines do the imitate accesses.

Control Plane currently [^1] polls for `has_in_progress_downloads ==
false` after /attach to determine that an attach operation succeeded.
As pointed out in the OpenAPI spec as of neon#4151, polling for
`has_in_progress_downloads` is incorrect.
This patch changes the situation by
- removing `has_in_progress_downloads`
- adding a new field `attachment_status.`
- changing instructions for `/attach` to poll for `attachment_status ==
attached`.
This makes the instructions in `/attach` actionable for Control Plane.
NB that we don't expose the TenantState in the OpenAPI docs, even though
we expose it in the endpoint. That is with good reason because we don't
want to commit to a fixed set of tenant states forever. Hence, the
separate `attachment_status` field that exposes the bare minimum
required to make /attach + subsequent polling 100% safe wrt split brain.
It would have been nice to report failures explicitly, but the problem
is that we lose that state when we restart. So, we return `attached`
upon attach failure. The tenant is Broken in that case, causing Control
Plane's subsequent health check will fail. Control Plane can roll back
the relocation operation then.
NB: the reliance on the subsequent health check is no change to what we
had before this patch!
NB: we can always add additional TenantAttachmentStatus'es in the future
to communicate failure.
This PR also moves the attach-marker file's creation to the API
handler's synchronous part. That was done to avoid the need to
distinguish
* `Attaching but marker not yet written => AttachmentStatus::Maybe` from
* `Attaching, marker written, but attach failed for other reason =>
AttachmentStatus::Attached`
Coincidentally, this also adds more transactionality to the /attach API
because we only return 202 once we've written the marker file. But, in
the end, it doesn't affect how the control plane interacts with us or
how it needs to do retries. So, we don't mention any of this in the API
docs.
[^1]: The one-click tenant relocation PR cloud#4740, currently WIP, is
the first real user.
Before this patch, the following sequence would lead to the resurrection of a deleted timeline:
- create timeline
- wait for its index part to reach s3
- delete timeline
- wait an arbitrary amount of time, including 0 seconds
- detach tenant
- attach tenant
- the timeline is there and Active again
This happens because we only kept track of the deletion in the tenant dir (by deleting the timeline dir) but not in S3.
The solution is to turn the deleted timeline's IndexPart into a tombstone.
The deletion status of the timeline is expressed in the `deleted_at: Option<NativeDateTime>` field of IndexPart.
It's `None` while the timeline is alive and `Some(deletion time stamp)` if it is deleted.
We change the timeline deletion handler to upload this tombstoned IndexPart.
The handler does not return success if the upload fails.
Coincidentally, this fixes the long-stanging TODO about the `std::fs::remove_dir_all` being not atomic.
It need not be atomic anymore because we set the `deleted_at=Some()` before starting the `remove_dir_all`.
The tombstone is in the IndexPart only, not in the `metadata`.
So, we only have the tombstone and the `remove_dir_all` benefits mentioned above if remote storage is configured.
This was a conscious trade-off because there's no good format evolution story for the current metadata file format.
The introduction of this additional step into `delete_timeline` was painful because delete_timeline needs to be
1. cancel-safe
2. idempotent
3. safe to call concurrently
These are mostly self-inflicted limitations that can be avoided by using request-coalescing.
PR https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/4159 will do that.

Currently, if we unexpectly download from the eviction task, the log
lines look like what we have in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/4154
```

```
We know these are caused by the imitate accesses.
But we don't know which one (my bet is on update_gc_info).
I didn't want to pollute the other tasks' logs with the additional
spans, so, using `.instrument()` when we call non-eviction-task code.

If compute_ctl is launched without a spec file, it fetches it from the
control plane with an HTTP request. We cannot get the startup tracing
context from the compute spec in that case, because we don't have it
available on start. We could still read the tracing context from the
compute spec after we have fetched it, but that would leave the fetch
itself out of the context. Pass the tracing context in environment
variables instead.
Add `wal_backup_parallel_jobs` cmdline argument to specify the max count
of parallel segments upload. New default value is 5, meaning that
safekeepers will try to upload 5 segments concurrently if they are
available. Setting this value to 1 will be equivalent to the sequential
upload that we had before.

Compiles kq_imcx extension
At this moment, there are some issues with the extension:
1. I'm cloning it directly from the master branch. It's better to fetch
tag/archive
