## Problem
Previously, the background worker that collects the list of installed
extensions across DBs had a timeout set to 1 hour. This cause a problem
with computes that had a `suspend_timeout` > 1 hour as this collection
was treated as activity, preventing compute shutdown.
Issue: https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/30147
## Summary of changes
Passing the `suspend_timeout` as part of the `ComputeSpec` so that any
updates to this are taken into account by the background worker and
updates its collection interval.
If a hardlink operation inside `detach_ancestor` fails due to the layer
already existing, we delete the layer to make sure the source is one we
know about, and then retry.
But we deleted the wrong file, namely, the one we wanted to use as the
source of the hardlink. As a result, the follow up hard link operation
failed. Our PR corrects this mistake.
## Problem
We don't notify cplane about safekeeper membership change yet. Without
the notification the compute needs to know all the safekeepers on the
cluster to be able to speak to them. Change notifications will allow to
avoid it.
- Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/12188
## Summary of changes
- Implement `notify_safekeepers` method in `ComputeHook`
- Notify cplane about safekeepers in `safekeeper_migrate` handler.
- Update the test to make sure notifications work.
## Out of scope
- There is `cplane_notified_generation` field in `timelines` table in
strocon's database. It's not needed now, so it's not updated in the PR.
Probably we can remove it.
- e2e tests to make sure it works with a production cplane
## Problem
The gRPC API does not provide LSN leases.

* Move `PageserverProtocol` into the `compute_api::spec` module and
reuse it.
## Problem
Location config changes can currently result in changes to the shard
identity. Such changes will cause data corruption, as seen with #12217.
Resolves#12227.
Requires #12377.
## Summary of changes
Assert that the shard identity does not change on location config
updates and on (re)attach.
This is currently asserted with `critical!`, in case it misfires in
production. Later, we should reject such requests with an error and turn
this into a proper assertion.
Implicit mapping to an `anyhow::Error` when we do `?` is discouraged
because tooling to find those places isn't great.
As a drive-by, also make SplitImageLayerWriter::new infallible and sync.
I think we should also make ImageLayerWriter::new completely lazy,
then `BatchLayerWriter:new` infallible and async.

Step Security is not yet approved by Databricks team, in order to
prevent issues during Github org migration, I'll revert this PR to use
the previous action instead of Step Security maintained action.
## Problem
Similarly to #12217, the following endpoints may result in a stripe size
mismatch between the storage controller and Pageserver if an unsharded
tenant has a different stripe size set than the default. This can lead
to data corruption if the tenant is later manually split without
specifying an explicit stripe size, since the storage controller and
Pageserver will apply different defaults. This commonly happens with
tenants that were created before the default stripe size was changed
from 32k to 2k.
* `PUT /v1/tenant/config`
* `PATCH /v1/tenant/config`
These endpoints are no longer in regular production use (they were used
when cplane still managed Pageserver directly), but can still be called
manually or by tests.
## Summary of changes
Retain the current shard parameters when updating the location config in
`PUT | PATCH /v1/tenant/config`.
Also opportunistically derive `Copy` for `ShardParameters`.
## Problem
Some of the design decisions in PR #12256 were influenced by the
requirements of consistency tests. These decisions introduced
intermediate logic that is no longer needed and should be cleaned up.
## Summary of Changes
- Remove the `feature("testing")` flag related to
`kick_secondary_download`.
- Set the default value of `kick_secondary_download` back to false,
reflecting the intended production behavior.

## Problem
`compute_ctl` should support gRPC base backups.
Requires #12111.
Requires #12243.
Touches #11926.
## Summary of changes
Support `grpc://` connstrings for `compute_ctl` base backups.
## Problem
The problem has been well described in already-commited PR #11853.
tl;dr: BufferedWriter is sensitive to cancellation, which the previous
approach was not.
The write path was most affected (ingest & compaction), which was mostly
fixed in #11853:
it introduced `PutError` and mapped instances of `PutError` that were
due to cancellation of underlying buffered writer into
`CreateImageLayersError::Cancelled`.
However, there is a long tail of remaining errors that weren't caught by
#11853 that result in `CompactionError::Other`s, which we log with great
noise.
## Solution
The stack trace logging for CompactionError::Other added in #11853
allows us to chop away at that long tail using the following pattern:
- look at the stack trace
- from leaf up, identify the place where we incorrectly map from the
distinguished variant X indicating cancellation to an `anyhow::Error`
- follow that anyhow further up, ensuring it stays the same anyhow all
the way up in the `CompactionError::Other`
- since it stayed one anyhow chain all the way up, root_cause() will
yield us X
- so, in `log_compaction_error`, add an additional `downcast_ref` check
for X
This PR specifically adds checks for
- the flush task cancelling (FlushTaskError, BlobWriterError)
- opening of the layer writer (GateError)
That should cover all the reports in issues

We don't have cancellation support for timeline deletions. In other
words, timeline deletion might still go on in an older generation while
we are attaching it in a newer generation already, because the
cancellation simply hasn't reached the deletion code.
This has caused us to hit a situation with offloaded timelines in which
the timeline was in an unrecoverable state: always returning an accepted
response, but never a 404 like it should be.
The detailed description can be found in
[here](https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/30406#issuecomment-3008667859)
(private repo link).
TLDR:
1. we ask to delete timeline on old pageserver/generation, starts
process in background
2. the storcon migrates the tenant to a different pageserver.
- during attach, the pageserver still finds an index part, so it adds it
to `offloaded_timelines`
4. the timeline deletion finishes, removing the index part in S3
5. there is a retry of the timeline deletion endpoint, sent to the new
pageserver location. it is bound to fail however:
- as the index part is gone, we print `Timeline already deleted in
remote storage`.
- the problem is that we then return an accepted response code, and not
a 404.
- this confuses the code calling us. it thinks the timeline is not
deleted, so keeps retrying.
- this state never gets recovered from until a reset/detach, because of
the `offloaded_timelines` entry staying there.
This is where this PR fixes things: if no index part can be found, we
can safely assume that the timeline is gone in S3 (it's the last thing
to be deleted), so we can remove it from `offloaded_timelines` and
trigger a reupload of the manifest. Subsequent retries will pick that
up.
Why not improve the cancellation support? It is a more disruptive code
change, that might have its own risks. So we don't do it for now.

Mainly for general readability. Some notable changes:
- Postgres can be built without the rest of the repository, and in
particular without any of the Rust bits. Some CI scripts took advantage
of that, so let's make that more explicit by separating those parts.
Also add an explicit comment about that in the new postgres.mk file.
- Add a new PG_INSTALL_CACHED variable. If it's set, `make all` and
other top-Makefile targets skip checking if Postgres is up-to-date. This
is also to be used in CI scripts that build and cache Postgres as
separate steps. (It is currently only used in the macos walproposer-lib
rule, but stay tuned for more.)
- Introduce a POSTGRES_VERSIONS variable that lists all supported
PostgreSQL versions. Refactor a few Makefile rules to use that.

## Problem
When resolving a shard during a split we might have multiple attached
shards with the old shard count (i.e. not all of them are marked in

based on the old shard count and misroute the request.
## Summary of Changes

the iteration
# Problem
In #12335 I moved the `authenticate` method outside of the
`connect_to_compute` loop. This triggered [e2e tests to become
flaky](https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/pull/30533). This
highlighted an edge case we forgot to consider with that change.
When we connect to compute, the compute IP might be cached. This cache
hit might however be stale. Because we can't validate the IP is
associated with a specific compute-id☨, we will succeed the
connect_to_compute operation and fail when it comes to password
authentication☨☨. Before the change, we were invalidating the cache and
triggering wake_compute if the authentication failed.
Additionally, I noticed some faulty logic I introduced 1 year ago
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8141/files#diff-5491e3afe62d8c5c77178149c665603b29d88d3ec2e47fc1b3bb119a0a970afaL145-R147
☨ We can when we roll out TLS, as the certificate common name includes
the compute-id.
☨☨ Technically password authentication could pass for the wrong compute,
but I think this would only happen in the very very rare event that the
IP got reused **and** the compute's endpoint happened to be a
branch/replica.
# Solution
1. Fix the broken logic
2. Simplify cache invalidation (I don't know why it was so convoluted)
3. Add a loop around connect_to_compute + authenticate to re-introduce
the wake_compute invalidation we accidentally removed.
I went with this approach to try and avoid interfering with
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/compare/main...cloneable/proxy-pglb-connect-compute-split.

## Problem
Druing shard splits we shut down the remote client early and allow the
parent shard to keep ingesting data. While ingesting data, the wal
receiver task may wait for the current flush to complete in order to
apply backpressure. Notifications are delivered via
`Timeline::layer_flush_done_tx`.
When the remote client was being shut down the flush loop exited
whithout delivering a notification. This left
`Timeline::wait_flush_completion` hanging indefinitely which blocked the
shutdown of the wal receiver task, and, hence, the shard split.
## Summary of Changes
Deliver a final notification when the flush loop is shutting down
without the timeline cancel cancellation token having fired. I tried
writing a test for this, but got stuck in failpoint hell and decided
it's not worth it.
`test_sharding_autosplit`, which reproduces this reliably in CI, passed
with the proposed fix in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/12304.

Make the safekeeper `pull_timeline` endpoint support timelines that
haven't had any writes yet. In the storcon managed sk timelines world,
if a safekeeper goes down temporarily, the storcon will schedule a
`pull_timeline` call. There is no guarantee however that by when the
safekeeper is online again, there have been writes to the timeline yet.
The `snapshot` endpoint gives an error if the timeline hasn't had
writes, so we avoid calling it if `timeline_start_lsn` indicates a
freshly created timeline.

gRPC base backups use gRPC compression. However, this has two problems:

## Summary
A design for a storage system that allows storage of files required to
make
Neon's Endpoints have a better experience at or after a reboot.
## Motivation
Several systems inside PostgreSQL (and Neon) need some persistent
storage for
optimal workings across reboots and restarts, but still work without.
Examples are the cumulative statistics file in `pg_stat/global.stat`,
`pg_stat_statements`' `pg_stat/pg_stat_statements.stat`, and
`pg_prewarm`'s
`autoprewarm.blocks`. We need a storage system that can store and manage
these files for each Endpoint.

* Storcon retrieves the feature flag and send it to the pageservers.
* If the feature flag gets updated outside of the normal refresh loop of
the pageserver, pageserver won't fetch the flags on its own as long as
the last updated time <= refresh_period.

If the current leader cancels the `call` function, then it has removed

Because of this, it is not cancellation safe.
## Summary of changes
Document these functions as not cancellation safe. Move cancellation of
the queued jobs into the queue itself.
## Alternatives considered
1. We could spawn the task that runs the batch, since that won't get
cancelled.
* This requires `fn call(self: Arc<Self>)` or `fn call(&'static self)`.
2. We could add another scopeguard and return the requests back to the
queue.
* This requires that requests are always retry safe, and also requires
requests to be `Clone`.

## Problem
While working more on TLS to compute, I realised that Console Redirect
-> pg-sni-router -> compute would break if channel binding was set to
prefer. This is because the channel binding data would differ between
Console Redirect -> pg-sni-router vs pg-sni-router -> compute.
I also noticed that I actually disabled channel binding in #12145, since
`connect_raw` would think that the connection didn't support TLS.
## Summary of changes
Make sure we specify the channel binding.
Make sure that `connect_raw` can see if we have TLS support.
In `test_layer_download_cancelled_by_config_location`, we simulate hung
downloads via the `before-downloading-layer-stream-pausable` failpoint.
Then, we cancel a timeline via the `location_config` endpoint.
With the new default as of
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11712, we would be creating
the timeline on safekeepers regardless if there have been writes or not,
and it turns out the test relied on the timeline not existing on
safekeepers, due to a cancellation bug:
* as established before, the test makes the read path hang
* the timeline cancellation function first cancels the walreceiver, and
only then cancels the timeline's token
* `WalIngest::new` is requesting a checkpoint, which hits the read path
* at cancellation time, we'd be hanging inside the read, not seeing the
cancellation of the walreceiver
* the test would time out due to the hang
This is probably also reproducible in the wild when there is S3
unavailabilies or bottlenecks. So we thought that it's worthwhile to fix
the hang issue. The approach chosen in the end involves the
`tokio::select` macro.
In PR 11712, we originally punted on the test due to the hang and opted
it out from the new default, but now we can use the new default.

This makes it possible for the compiler to validate that a match block
matched all PostgreSQL versions we support.
## Problem
We did not have a complete picture about which places we had to test
against PG versions, and what format these versions were: The full PG
version ID format (Major/minor/bugfix `MMmmbb`) as transfered in
protocol messages, or only the Major release version (`MM`). This meant
type confusion was rampant.
With this change, it becomes easier to develop new version-dependent
features, by making type and niche confusion impossible.
## Summary of changes

the value of that major version)

## Problem
Previously, we couldn't read from an in-memory layer while a batch was
being written to it. Vice-versa, we couldn't write to it while there
was an on-going read.
## Summary of Changes
The goal of this change is to improve concurrency. Writes happened
through a &mut self method so the enforcement was at the type system
level.
We attempt to improve by:
1. Adding interior mutability to EphemeralLayer. This involves wrapping
the buffered writer in a read-write lock.
2. Minimise the time that the read lock is held for. Only hold the read
lock while reading from the buffers (recently flushed or pending
flush). If we need to read from the file, drop the lock and allow IO
to be concurrent.
The new benchmark variants with concurrent reads improve between 70 to
200 percent (against main).
Benchmark results are in this
[commit](891f094ce6).
## Future Changes
We can push the interior mutability into the buffered writer. The
mutable tail goes under a read lock, the flushed part goes into an
ArcSwap and then we can read from anything that is flushed _without_ any
locking.
gRPC base backups send a stream of fixed-size 64KB chunks.
pagebench basebackup with compression enabled shows this to reduce
throughput:
* 64 KB: 55 RPS
* 128 KB: 69 RPS
* 256 KB: 73 RPS
* 1024 KB: 73 RPS
This patch sets the base backup chunk size to 256 KB.
The build-tools image contains various build tools and dependencies,
mostly Rust-related. The compute image build used it to build
compute_ctl and a few other little rust binaries that are included in
the compute image. However, for extensions built in Rust (pgrx), the
build used a different layer which installed the rust toolchain using
rustup.
Switch to using the same rust toolchain for both pgrx-based extensions
and compute_ctl et al. Since we don't need anything else from the
build-tools image, I switched to using the toolchain installed with
rustup, and eliminated the dependency to build-tools altogether. The
compute image build no longer depends on build-tools.
Note: We no longer use 'mold' for linking compute_ctl et al, since mold
is not included in the build-deps-with-cargo layer. We could add it
there, but it doesn't seem worth it. I proposed stopping using mold
altogether in https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10735, but that
was rejected because 'mold' is faster for incremental builds. That
doesn't matter much for docker builds however, since they're not
incremental, and the compute binaries are not as large as the storage
server binaries anyway.
To avoid duplicating the build logic. `make all` covers the separate
`postgres-*` and `neon-pg-ext` steps, and also does `cargo build`.
That's how you would typically do a full local build anyway.
Every time you run `make`, it runs `make install` on all the PostgreSQL
sources, which copies the header files. That in turn triggers a rebuild
of the `postgres_ffi` crate, and everything that depends on it. We had
worked around this earlier (see #2458), by passing a custom INSTALL
script to the Postgres makefiles, which refrains from updating the
modification timestamp on headers when they have not been changed, but

## Problem
In #12217, we began passing the stripe size in reattach responses, and
persisting it in the on-disk state. This is necessary to ensure the
storage controller and Pageserver have a consistent view of the intended
stripe size of unsharded tenants, which will be used for splits that do
not specify a stripe size. However, for backwards compatibility, these
stripe sizes were optional.
## Summary of changes
Make the stripe sizes required for reattach responses and on-disk
location configs. These will always be provided by the previous
(current) release.
The previous behavior was for the compute to override control plane
options if there was a conflict. We want to change the behavior so that
the control plane has the absolute power on what is right. In the event
that we need a new option passed to the compute as soon as possible, we
can initially roll it out in the control plane, and then migrate the
option to EXTRA_OPTIONS within the compute later, for instance.

## Problem
We need to specify the number of safekeepers for neon_local without
`testing` feature.
Also we need this option for testing different configurations of
safekeeper migration code.
We cannot set it in `neon_fixtures.py` and in the default config of
`neon_local` yet, because it will fail compatibility tests. I'll make a
separate PR with removing `cfg!("testing")` completely and specifying
this option in the config when this option reaches the release branch.

## Problem
Timeline GC is very aggressive with regards to layer map locking.
We've seen timelines with loads of layers in production that hold the
write lock for the layer map for 30 minutes at a time.
This blocks reads and the write path to some extent.
## Summary of changes
Determining the set of layers to GC is done under the read lock.
Applying the updates is done under the write lock.
Previously, everything was done under write lock.
See #11942
Idea:
* if connections are short lived, they can get enqueued and then also
remove themselves later if they never made it to redis. This reduces the
load on the queue.
* short lived connections (<10m, most?) will only issue 1 command, we
remove the delete command and rely on ttl.
* we can enqueue as many commands as we want, as we can always cancel
the enqueue, thanks to the ~~intrusive linked lists~~ `BTreeMap`.
This improves `pagebench getpage-latest-lsn` gRPC support by:
* Using `page_api::Client`.
* Removing `--protocol`, and using the `page-server-connstring` scheme
instead.
* Adding `--compression` to enable zstd compression.
## Problem
Pagebench does not support gRPC for `basebackup` benchmarks.
Requires #12243.
Touches #11728.
## Summary of changes
Add gRPC support via gRPC connstrings, e.g. `pagebench basebackup
--page-service-connstring grpc://localhost:51051`.
Also change `--gzip-probability` to `--no-compression`, since this must
be specified per-client for gRPC.
Introduce a separate `postgres_ffi_types` crate which contains a few
types and functions that were used in the API. `postgres_ffi_types` is a
much small crate than `postgres_ffi`, and it doesn't depend on bindgen
or the Postgres C headers.
Move NeonWalRecord and Value types to wal_decoder crate. They are only
used in the pageserver-safekeeper "ingest" API. The rest of the ingest
API types are defined in wal_decoder, so move these there as well.
We have been bad at keeping them up-to-date, several contrib modules and
neon extensions were missing from the clean rules. Give up trying, and
remove the targets altogether. In practice, it's straightforward to just
do `rm -rf pg_install/build`, so the clean-targets are hardly worth the
maintenance effort.
I kept `make distclean` though. The rule for that is simple enough.
Since commit 87ad50c925, storage_controller has used diesel_async, which
in turn uses tokio-postgres as the Postgres client, which doesn't
require libpq. Thus we no longer need libpq in the storage image.
## Problem
The gRPC page service should support compression.
Requires #12111.
Touches #11728.
Touches https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/25679.
## Summary of changes
Add support for gzip and zstd compression in the server, and a client
parameter to enable compression.
This will need further benchmarking under realistic network conditions.
## Problem
GC info is an input to updating layer visibility.
Currently, gc info is updated on timeline activation and visibility is
computed on tenant attach, so we ignore branch points and compute
visibility by taking all layers into account.
Side note: gc info is also updated when timelines are created and
dropped. That doesn't help because we create the timelines in
topological order from the root. Hence the root timeline goes first,
without context of where the branch points are.
The impact of this in prod is that shards need to rehydrate layers after
live migration since the non-visible ones were excluded from the
heatmap.
## Summary of Changes
Move the visibility calculation into tenant attachment instead of
activation.
## Problem
`test_runner` integration tests should support gRPC.
Touches #11926.
## Summary of changes
* Enable gRPC for Pageservers, with dynamic port allocations.
* Add a `grpc` parameter for endpoint creation, plumbed through to
`neon_local endpoint create`.
No tests actually use gRPC yet, since computes don't support it yet.
## Problem
`test_sharding_failures` is flaky due to interference from the
`background_reconcile` process.
The details are in the issue
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/12029.
## Summary of changes
- Use `reconcile_until_idle` to ensure a stable state before running
test assertions
- Added error tolerance in `reconcile_until_idle` test function (Failure
cases: 1, 3, 19, 20)
- Ignore the `Keeping extra secondaries` warning message since it i
retryable (Failure case: 2)
- Deduplicated code in `assert_rolled_back` and `assert_split_done`
- Added a log message before printing plenty of Node `X` seen on
pageserver `Y`
## Problem
- We run the large tenant oltp workload with a fixed size (larger than
existing customers' workloads).
Our customer's workloads are continuously growing and our testing should
stay ahead of the customers' production workloads.
- we want to touch all tables in the tenant's database (updates) so that
we simulate a continuous change in layer files like in a real production
workload
- our current oltp benchmark uses a mixture of read and write
transactions, however we also want a separate test run with read-only
transactions only
## Summary of changes
- modify the existing workload to have a separate run with pgbench
custom scripts that are read-only
- create a new workload that
- grows all large tables in each run (for the reuse branch in the large
oltp tenant's project)
- updates a percentage of rows in all large tables in each run (to
enforce table bloat and auto-vacuum runs and layer rebuild in
pageservers
Each run of the new workflow increases the logical database size about
16 GB.
We start with 6 runs per day which will give us about 96-100 GB growth
per day.

then hard-to-debug errors may happen at runtime, where it would be much
easier to catch them early.

Create a separate stage for downloading the Rust toolchain for pgrx, so
that it can be cached independently of the pg-build layer. Before this,
the 'pg-build-nonroot=with-cargo' layer was unnecessarily rebuilt every
time there was a change in PostgreSQL sources. Furthermore, this allows
using the same cached layer for building the compute images of all
Postgres versions.
## Problem
Full basebackups are used in tests, and may be useful for debugging as
well, so we should support them in the gRPC API.
Touches #11728.
## Summary of changes
Add `GetBaseBackupRequest::full` to generate full base backups.
The libpq implementation also allows specifying `prev_lsn` for full
backups, i.e. the end LSN of the previous WAL record. This is omitted in
the gRPC API, since it's not used by any tests, and presumably of
limited value since it's autodetected. We can add it later if we find
that we need it.

## Problem
When converting `proto::GetPageRequest` into `page_api::GetPageRequest`
and validating the request, errors are returned as `tonic::Status`. This
will tear down the GetPage stream, which is disruptive and unnecessary.
## Summary of changes
Emit invalid request errors as `GetPageResponse` with an appropriate
`status_code` instead.
Also move the conversion from `tonic::Status` to `GetPageResponse` out
into the stream handler.
## Problem
Compatibility tests may be run against a compatibility snapshot
generated with --timelines-onto-safekeepers=false. We need to start the
compute without a generation (or with 0 generation) if the timeline is
not storcon-managed, otherwise the compute will hang.

- Relates to https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11712
## Summary of changes
- Handle compatibility snapshot generated with no
`--timelines-onot-safekeepers` properly
## Problem
The cache was introduced as a hackathon project and the only supported
limit was the number of entries.
The basebackup entry size may vary. We need to have more control over
disk space usage to ship it to production.

## Summary of changes
- Store the size of entries in the cache and use it to limit
`max_total_size_bytes`
- Add the size of the cache in bytes to metrics.
## Problem
`neon_local` should support endpoints using gRPC, by providing `grpc://`
connstrings with the Pageservers' gRPC ports.
Requires #12268.
Touches #11926.
## Summary of changes
* Add `--grpc` switch for `neon_local endpoint create`.
* Generate `grpc://` connstrings for endpoints when enabled.
Computes don't actually support `grpc://` connstrings yet, but will
soon.
gRPC is configured when the endpoint is created, not when it's started,
such that it continues to use gRPC across restarts and reconfigurations.
In particular, this is necessary for the storage controller's local
notify hook, which can't easily plumb through gRPC configuration from
the start/reconfigure commands but has access to the endpoint's
configuration.
## Problem
The metrics `storage_controller_safekeeper_request_error` and
`storage_controller_safekeeper_request_latency` currently use
`pageserver_id` as a label.
This can be misleading, as the metrics are about safekeeper requests.
We want to replace this with a more accurate label — either
`safekeeper_id` or `node_id`.
## Summary of changes
- Introduced `SafekeeperRequestLabelGroup` with `safekeeper_id`.
- Updated the affected metrics to use the new label group.
- Fixed incorrect metric usage in safekeeper_client.rs
## Follow-up
- Review usage of these metrics in alerting rules and existing Grafana
dashboards to ensure this change does not break something.
## Problem
Pageservers now expose a gRPC API on a separate address and port. This
must be registered with the storage controller such that it can be
plumbed through to the compute via cplane.
Touches #11926.
## Summary of changes
This patch registers the gRPC address and port with the storage
controller:
* Add gRPC address to `nodes` database table and `NodePersistence`, with
a Diesel migration.
* Add gRPC address in `NodeMetadata`, `NodeRegisterRequest`,
`NodeDescribeResponse`, and `TenantLocateResponseShard`.
* Add gRPC address flags to `storcon_cli node-register`.
These changes are backwards-compatible, since all structs will ignore
unknown fields during deserialization.
## Problem
The gRPC base backup implementation has a few issues: chunks are not
properly bounded, and it's not possible to omit the LSN.
Touches #11728.
## Summary of changes
* Properly bound chunks by using a limited writer.
* Use an `Option<Lsn>` rather than a `ReadLsn` (the latter requires an
LSN).
## Problem
The `stably_attached` function is hard to read due to deeply nested
conditionals
## Summary of Changes
- Refactored `stably_attached` to use early returns and the `?` operator
for improved readability
## Problem
If the node intent includes more than one secondary, we can generate a
replace optimization using a candidate node that is already a secondary
location.
## Summary of changes
- Exclude all other secondary nodes from the scoring process to ensure
optimal candidate selection.
## Problem
We could easily miss a sanitizer-detected defect, if it occurred due to
some race condition, as we just rerun the test and if it succeeds, the
overall test run is considered successful. It was more reasonable
before, when we had much more unstable tests in main, but now we can
track all test failures.
## Summary of changes
Don't rerun failed tests.
## Problem
We don't test debug builds for v14..v16 in the regular "Build and Test"
runs to perform the testing faster, but it means we can't detect
assertion failures in those versions.
(See https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11891,
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11997)
## Summary of changes
Add a new workflow to test all build types and all versions on all
architectures.
## Problem
In our environment, we don't always have access to the pagectl tool on
the pageserver. We have to download the page files to local env to
introspect them. Hence, it'll be useful to be able to parse the local
files using `pagectl`.
## Summary of changes
* Add `dump-layer-local` to `pagectl` that takes a local path as
argument and returns the layer content:
```
cargo run -p pagectl layer dump-layer-local ~/Desktop/000000067F000040490002800000FFFFFFFF-030000000000000000000000000000000002__00003E7A53EDE611-00003E7AF27BFD19-v1-00000001
```
* Bonus: Fix a bug in `pageserver/ctl/src/draw_timeline_dir.rs` in which
we don't filter out temporary files.
## Problem
The `page_api` domain types are missing a few derives.
## Summary of changes
Add `Clone`, `Copy`, and `Debug` derives for all types where
appropriate.
## Problem

PostHog has two endpoints to retrieve feature flags: the old project ID
one that uses personal API token, and the new one using a special

it's used in their Python SDK.

Add support for "feature flag secure token API". The API has no way of

## Problem
`test_historic_storage_formats` uses `/tenant_import` to import historic
data. Tenant import does not create timelines onto safekeepers, because
they might already exist on some safekeeper set. If it does, then we may
end up with two different quorums accepting WAL for the same timeline.
If the tenant import is used in a real deployment, the administrator is
responsible for looking for the proper safekeeper set and migrate
timelines into storcon-managed timelines.
- Relates to https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11712
## Summary of changes
- Create timelines onto safekeepers manually after tenant import in
`test_historic_storage_formats`
- Add a note to tenant import that timelines will be not storcon-managed
after the import.
## Problem
* Inside `compact_with_gc_inner`, there is a similar log line:
db24ba95d1/pageserver/src/tenant/timeline/compaction.rs (L3181-L3187)
* Also, I think it would be useful when debugging to have the ability to
select a particular sub-compaction job (e.g., `1/100`) to see all the
logs for that job.
## Summary of changes
* Attach a span to the `compact_with_gc_inner`.

Sometimes during a failed redis connection attempt at the init stage
proxy pod can continuously restart. This, in turn, can aggravate the
problem if redis is overloaded.
Solves the #11114
## Problem
The location config (which includes the stripe size) is stored on
pageserver disk.
For unsharded tenants we [do not include the shard identity in the
serialized
description](ad88ec9257/pageserver/src/tenant/config.rs (L64-L66)).
When the pageserver restarts, it reads that configuration and will use
the stripe size from there
and rely on storcon input from reattach for generation and mode.
The default deserialization is ShardIdentity::unsharded. This has the
new default stripe size of 2048.
Hence, for unsharded tenants we can be running with a stripe size
different from that the one in the
storcon observed state. This is not a problem until we shard split
without specifying a stripe size (i.e. manual splits via the UI or
storcon_cli). When that happens the new shards will use the 2048 stripe
size until storcon realises and switches them back. At that point it's
too late, since we've ingested data with the wrong stripe sizes.
## Summary of changes
Ideally, we would always have the full shard identity on disk. To
achieve this over two releases we do:
1. Always persist the shard identity in the location config on the PS.
2. Storage controller includes the stripe size to use in the re attach
response.
After the first release, we will start persisting correct stripe sizes
for any tenant shard that the storage controller
explicitly sends a location_conf. After the second release, the
re-attach change kicks in and we'll persist the
shard identity for all shards.
## Problem
Base64 0.13 is outdated.
## Summary of changes
Update base64 to 0.22. Affects mostly proxy and proxy libs. Also upgrade
serde_with to remove another dep on base64 0.13 from dep tree.
## Problem
The test creates an endpoint and deletes its tenant. The compute cannot
stop gracefully because it tries to write a checkpoint shutdown record
into the WAL, but the timeline had been already deleted from
safekeepers.

Compatibility tests may be run against a compatibility snapshot

Add Azure time travel recovery support. The tricky thing is how Azure
handles deletes in its blob version API. For the following sequence:
```
upload file_1 = a
upload file_1 = b
delete file_1
upload file_1 = c
```
The "delete file_1" won't be stored as a version (as AWS did).
Therefore, we can never rollback to a state where file_1 is temporarily
invisible. If we roll back to the time before file_1 gets created for
the first time, it will be removed correctly.
However, this is fine for pageservers, because (1) having extra files in
the tenant storage is usually fine (2) for things like
timelines/X/index_part-Y.json, it will only be deleted once, so it can
always be recovered to a correct state. Therefore, I don't expect any
issues when this functionality is used on pageserver recovery.

## Problem
If a shard split fails and must roll back, the tenant may hit a cold
start as the parent shard's files have already been removed from local
disk.
External contribution with minor adjustments, see
https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C08TE3203RQ/p1748246398269309.
## Summary of changes
Keep the parent shard's files on local disk until the split has been
committed, such that they are available if the spilt is rolled back. If
all else fails, the files will be removed on the next Pageserver
restart.
This should also be fine in a mixed version:
* New storcon, old Pageserver: the Pageserver will delete the files
during the split, storcon will log an error when the cleanup detach
fails.
* Old storcon, new Pageserver: the Pageserver will leave the parent's
files around until the next Pageserver restart.
The change looks good to me, but shard splits are delicate so I'd like
some extra eyes on this.
The current cache invalidation messages are far too specific. They
should be more generic since it only ends up triggering a
`GetEndpointAccessControl` message anyway.
Mappings:
* `/allowed_ips_updated`, `/block_public_or_vpc_access_updated`, and
`/allowed_vpc_endpoints_updated_for_projects` ->
`/project_settings_update`.
* `/allowed_vpc_endpoints_updated_for_org` ->
`/account_settings_update`.
* `/password_updated` -> `/role_setting_update`.
I've also introduced `/endpoint_settings_update`.
All message types support singular or multiple entries, which allows us
to simplify things both on our side and on cplane side.
I'm opening a PR to cplane to apply the above mappings, but for now
using the old phrases to allow both to roll out independently.
This change is inspired by my need to add yet another cached entry to
`GetEndpointAccessControl` for

We might delete timelines on safekeepers before we are deleting them on
pageservers. This should be an exceptional situation, but can occur. As
the first step to improve behaviour here, emit a special error that is
less scary/obscure than "was not found in global map".
It is for example emitted when the pageserver tries to run
`IDENTIFY_SYSTEM` on a timeline that has been deleted on the safekeeper.
Found when analyzing the failure of
`test_scrubber_physical_gc_timeline_deletion` when enabling
`--timelines-onto-safekeepers` on the pytests.
Due to safekeeper restarts, there is no hard guarantee that we will keep
issuing this error, so we need to think of something better if we start
encountering this in staging/prod. But I would say that the introduction
of `--timelines-onto-safekeepers` in the pytests and into staging won't
change much about this: we are already deleting timelines from there. In
`test_scrubber_physical_gc_timeline_deletion`, we'd just be leaking the
timeline before on the safekeepers.

## Problem
PGLB/Neonkeeper needs to separate the concerns of connecting to compute,
and authenticating to compute.
Additionally, the code within `connect_to_compute` is rather messy,
spending effort on recovering the authentication info after
wake_compute.
## Summary of changes
Split `ConnCfg` into `ConnectInfo` and `AuthInfo`. `wake_compute` only
returns `ConnectInfo` and `AuthInfo` is determined separately from the
`handshake`/`authenticate` process.
Additionally, `ConnectInfo::connect_raw` is in-charge or establishing
the TLS connection, and the `postgres_client::Config::connect_raw` is
configured to use `NoTls` which will force it to skip the TLS
negotiation. This should just work.
## Problem
Removed nodes can re-add themselves on restart if not properly
tombstoned. We need a mechanism (e.g. soft-delete flag) to prevent this,
especially in cases where the node is unreachable.
More details there: #12036
## Summary of changes
- Introduced `NodeLifecycle` enum to represent node lifecycle states.
- Added a string representation of `NodeLifecycle` to the `nodes` table.
- Implemented node removal using a tombstone mechanism.
- Introduced `/debug/v1/tombstone*` handlers to manage the tombstone
state.

neon_local's timeline import subcommand creates timelines manually, but
doesn't create them on the safekeepers. If a test then tries to open an
endpoint to read from the timeline, it will error in the new world with
`--timelines-onto-safekeepers`.
Therefore, if that flag is enabled, create the timelines on the
safekeepers.
Note that this import functionality is different from the fast import
feature (https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10188, #11801).

## Problem
The `computed_columns` test assumes that computed columns are always
faster than the request itself. However, this is not always the case on
Neon, which can lead to flaky results.
## Summary of changes
The `computed_columns` test is excluded from the PostGIS test for
PostgreSQL v16, accompanied by related patch refactoring.
## Problem
After introducing a naive downtime calculation for the Postgres process
inside compute in https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11346, I
noticed that some amount of computes regularly report short downtime.
After checking some particular cases, it looks like all of them report
downtime close to the end of the life of the compute, i.e., when the
control plane calls a `/terminate` and we are waiting for Postgres to
exit.
Compute monitor also produces a lot of error logs because Postgres stops
accepting connections, but it's expected during the termination process.
## Summary of changes
Regularly check the compute status inside the main compute monitor loop
and exit gracefully when the compute is in some terminal or
soon-to-be-terminal state.

## Problem
- `test_basebackup_cache` fails in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11712 because after the
timelines on safekeepers are managed by storage controller, they do
contain proper start_lsn and the compute_ctl tool sends the first
basebackup request with this LSN.
- `Failed to prepare basebackup` log messages during timeline
initialization, because the timeline is not yet in the global timeline
map.
- Relates to https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/29353
## Summary of changes
- Account for `timeline_onto_safekeepers` storcon's option in the test.
- Do not trigger basebackup prepare during the timeline initialization.
## Problem
The new gRPC page service protocol supports client-side batches. The
current libpq protocol only does best-effort server-side batching.
To compare these approaches, Pagebench should support submitting
contiguous page batches, similar to how Postgres will submit them (e.g.
with prefetches or vectored reads).
## Summary of changes
Add a `--batch-size` parameter specifying the size of contiguous page
batches. One batch counts as 1 RPS and 1 queue depth.
For the libpq protocol, a batch is submitted as individual requests and
we rely on the server to batch them for us. This will give a realistic
comparison of how these would be processed in the wild (e.g. when
Postgres sends 100 prefetch requests).
This patch also adds some basic validation of responses.
## Problem
We support two ingest protocols on the pageserver: vanilla and
interpreted.
Interpreted has been the only protocol in use for a long time.
## Summary of changes
* Remove the ingest handling of the vanilla protocol
* Remove tenant and pageserver configuration for it
* Update all tests that tweaked the ingest protocol
## Compatibility
Backward compatibility:
* The new pageserver version can read the existing pageserver
configuration and it will ignore the unknown field.
* When the tenant config is read from the storcon db or from the
pageserver disk, the extra field will be ignored.
Forward compatiblity:
* Both the pageserver config and the tenant config map missing fields to
their default value.
I'm not aware of any tenant level override that was made for this knob.
## Problem
It will be useful to understand what kind of queries our clients are
executed.
And one of the most important characteristic of query is query execution
time - at least it allows to distinguish OLAP and OLTP queries. Also
monitoring query execution time can help to detect problem with
performance (assuming that workload is more or less stable).
## Summary of changes
Add query execution time histogram.

## Problem
I believe in all environments we now specify either required/rejected
for proxy-protocol V2 as required. We no longer rely on the supported
flow. This means we no longer need to keep around read bytes incase
they're not in a header.
While I designed ChainRW to be fast (the hot path with an empty buffer
is very easy to branch predict), it's still unnecessary.
## Summary of changes
* Remove the ChainRW wrapper
* Refactor how we read the proxy-protocol header using read_exact.
Slightly worse perf but it's hardly significant.
* Don't try and parse the header if it's rejected.
`safekeepers_cmp` was added by #8840 to make changes of the safekeeper
set order independent: a `sk1,sk2,sk3` specifier changed to
`sk3,sk1,sk2` should not cause a walproposer restart. However, this
check didn't support generations, in the sense that it would see the
`g#123:` as part of the first safekeeper in the list, and if the first
safekeeper changes, it would also restart the walproposer.
Therefore, parse the generation properly and make it not be a part of
the generation.
This PR doesn't add a specific test, but I have confirmed locally that
`test_safekeepers_reconfigure_reorder` is fixed with the changes of PR
#11712 applied thanks to this PR.

## Problem
Inbetween adding the TLS config for compute-ctl, and adding the TLS
config in controlplane, we switched from using a provision flag to a
bind flag. This happened to work in all of my testing in preview regions
as they have no VM pool, so each bind was also a provision. However, in
staging I found that the TLS config is still only processed during
provision, even though it's only sent on bind.
## Summary of changes
* Add a new feature flag value, `tls_experimental`, which tells
postgres/pgbouncer/local_proxy to use the TLS certificates on bind.
* compute_ctl on provision will be told where the certificates are,
instead of being told on bind.
Url::to_string() adds a trailing slash on the base URL, so when we did
the format!(), we were adding a double forward slash.

## Summary of Changes

## Problem
We don't currently run tests for PostGIS in our test environment.
## Summary of Changes
- Added PostGIS test support for PostgreSQL v16 and v17
- Configured different PostGIS versions based on PostgreSQL version:
- PostgreSQL v17: PostGIS 3.5.0
- PostgreSQL v14/v15/v16: PostGIS 3.3.3
- Added necessary test scripts and configurations
This ensures our PostgreSQL implementation remains compatible with this
widely-used extension.

## Problem
This is already the default in production and in our test suite.
## Summary of changes
Set the default proto to interpreted to reduce friction when spinning up
new regions or cells.
## Problem
Currently, `page_api` domain types validate message invariants both when
converting Protobuf → domain and domain → Protobuf. This is annoying for
clients, because they can't use stream combinators to convert streamed
requests (needed for hot path performance), and also performs the
validation twice in the common case.
Blocks #12099.
## Summary of changes
Only validate the Protobuf → domain type conversion, i.e. on the
receiver side, and make domain → Protobuf infallible. This is where it
matters -- the Protobuf types are less strict than the domain types, and
receivers should expect all sorts of junk from senders (they're not
required to validate anyway, and can just construct an invalid message
manually).
Also adds a missing `impl From<CheckRelExistsRequest> for
proto::CheckRelExistsRequest`.
## Problem
Setting `max_batch_size` to anything higher than
`Timeline::MAX_GET_VECTORED_KEYS` will cause runtime error. We should
rather fail fast at startup if this is the case.
## Summary of changes
* Create `max_get_vectored_keys` as a new configuration (default to 32);
* Validate `max_batch_size` against `max_get_vectored_keys` right at
config parsing and validation.
Closes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11994
## Problem
The gRPC `page_api` domain types used smallvecs to avoid heap
allocations in the common case where a single page is requested.
However, this is pointless: the Protobuf types use a normal vec, and
converting a smallvec into a vec always causes a heap allocation anyway.
## Summary of changes
Use a normal `Vec` instead of a `SmallVec` in `page_api` domain types.
## Problem
We print a backtrace in an info level log every 10 seconds while waiting

In `get_db_size`, we call `get_reldir_size` for every relation. However,
we do the same deserializing the reldir directory thing for every

get_rel_size requests.

## Problem
We should expose the page service over gRPC.
Requires #12093.
Touches #11728.
## Summary of changes
This patch adds an initial page service implementation over gRPC. It
ties in with the existing `PageServerHandler` request logic, to avoid
the implementations drifting apart for the core read path.
This is just a bare-bones functional implementation. Several important
aspects have been omitted, and will be addressed in follow-up PRs:
* Limited observability: minimal tracing, no logging, limited metrics
and timing, etc.
* Rate limiting will currently block.
* No performance optimization.
* No cancellation handling.
* No tests.
I've only done rudimentary testing of this, but Pagebench passes at
least.
A smaller version of #12066 that is somewhat easier to review.
Now that I've been using https://crates.io/crates/top-type-sizes I've
found a lot more of the low hanging fruit that can be tweaks to reduce
the memory usage.
Some context for the optimisations:
Rust's stack allocation in futures is quite naive. Stack variables, even
if moved, often still end up taking space in the future. Rearranging the
order in which variables are defined, and properly scoping them can go a
long way.
`async fn` and `async move {}` have a consequence that they always
duplicate the "upvars" (aka captures). All captures are permanently
allocated in the future, even if moved. We can be mindful when writing
futures to only capture as little as possible.
TlsStream is massive. Needs boxing so it doesn't contribute to the above
issue.
## Measurements from `top-type-sizes`:
### Before
```
10328 {async block@proxy::proxy::task_main::{closure#0}::{closure#0}} align=8
6120 {async fn body of proxy::proxy::handle_client<proxy::protocol2::ChainRW<tokio::net::TcpStream>>()} align=8
```
### After
```

4704 {async fn body of proxy::proxy::handle_client<proxy::protocol2::ChainRW<tokio::net::TcpStream>>()} align=8
```
## Problem
We need gRPC support in Pagebench to benchmark the new gRPC Pageserver
implementation.
Touches #11728.
## Summary of changes
Adds a `Client` trait to make the client transport swappable, and a gRPC
client via a `--protocol grpc` parameter. This must also specify the
connstring with the gRPC port:
```
pagebench get-page-latest-lsn --protocol grpc --page-service-connstring grpc://localhost:51051
```
The client is implemented using the raw Tonic-generated gRPC client, to
minimize client overhead.
## Problem
The page service logic asserts that a tracing span is present with
tenant/timeline/shard IDs. An initial gRPC page service implementation
thus requires a tracing span.
Touches https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11728.
## Summary of changes
Adds an `ObservabilityLayer` middleware that generates a tracing span
and decorates it with IDs from the gRPC metadata.
This is a minimal implementation to address the tracing span assertion.
It will be extended with additional observability in later PRs.
## Problem
If the wal receiver is cancelled, there's a 50% chance that it will
ingest yet more WAL.
## Summary of Changes
Always check cancellation first.
Precursor to https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/28333.
We want per-endpoint configuration for rate limits, which will be
distributed via the `GetEndpointAccessControl` API. This lays some of
the ground work.
1. Allow the endpoint rate limiter to accept a custom leaky bucket
config on check.
2. Remove the unused auth rate limiter, as I don't want to think about
how it fits into this.
3. Refactor the caching of `GetEndpointAccessControl`, as it adds
friction for adding new cached data to the API.
That third one was rather large. I couldn't find any way to split it up.
The core idea is that there's now only 2 cache APIs.
`get_endpoint_access_controls` and `get_role_access_controls`.
I'm pretty sure the behaviour is unchanged, except I did a drive by
change to fix#8989 because it felt harmless. The change in question is
that when a password validation fails, we eagerly expire the role cache
if the role was cached for 5 minutes. This is to allow for edge cases
where a user tries to connect with a reset password, but the cache never
expires the entry due to some redis related quirk (lag, or
misconfiguration, or cplane error)
libs/pqproto is designed for safekeeper/pageserver with maximum
throughput.
proxy only needs it for handshakes/authentication where throughput is
not a concern but memory efficiency is. For this reason, we switch to
using read_exact and only allocating as much memory as we need to.
All reads return a `&'a [u8]` instead of a `Bytes` because accidental
sharing of bytes can cause fragmentation. Returning the reference
enforces all callers only hold onto the bytes they absolutely need. For
example, before this change, `pqproto` was allocating 8KiB for the
initial read `BytesMut`, and proxy was holding the `Bytes` in the
`StartupMessageParams` for the entire connection through to passthrough.

Release pipeline failing due to some tools cannot be installed.

The expected operating range for the production NVMe drives is
in the range of 50 to 250us.
The bucket boundaries before this PR were not well suited
to reason about the utilization / queuing / latency variability
of those devices.
# Performance
There was some concern about perf impact of having so many buckets,
considering the impl does a linear search on each observe().
I added a benchmark and measured on relevant machines.
In any way, the PR is 40 buckets, so, won't make a meaningful
difference on production machines (im4gn.2xlarge),
going from 30ns -> 35ns.
## Problem
There's a bunch of TODOs in the import code.
## Summary of changes
1. Bound max import byte range to 128MiB. This might still be too high,
given the default job concurrency, but it needs to be balanced with
going back and forth to S3.
2. Prevent unsigned overflow when determining key range splits for
concurrent jobs
3. Use sharded ranges to estimate task size when splitting jobs
4. Bubble up errors that we might hit due to invalid data in the bucket
back to the storage controller.
5. Tweak the import bucket S3 client configuration.
## Problem
I noticed a small percentage of flakes on some import tests.
They were all instances of the storage controller being too eager on the
finalization.
As a refresher: the pageserver notifies the storage controller that it's
done from the import task
and the storage controller has to call back into it in order to finalize
the import. The pageserver
checks that the import task is done before serving that request. Hence,
we can get this race.
In practice, this has no impact since the storage controller will simply
retry.
## Summary of changes
Allow list such cases
This patch is a fixup for
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/6788
Background
----------
That PR 6788 added artificial advancement of `disk_consistent_lsn`
and `remote_consistent_lsn` for shards that weren't written to
while other shards _were_ written to.
See the PR description for more context.
At the time of that PR, Pageservers shards were doing WAL filtering.
Nowadays, the WAL filtering happens in Safekeepers.
Shards learn about the WAL gaps via
`InterpretedWalRecords::next_record_lsn`.
The Bug
-------
That artificial advancement code also runs if the flush failed.
So, we advance the disk_consistent_lsn / remote_consistent_lsn,
without having the corresponding L0 to the `index_part.json`.
The frozen layer remains in the layer map until detach,
so we continue to serve data correctly.
We're not advancing flush loop variable `flushed_to_lsn` either,
so, subsequent flush requests will retry the flush and repair the
situation if they succeed.
But if there aren't any successful retries, eventually the tenant
will be detached and when it is attached somewhere else, the
`index_part.json` and therefore layer map...
1. ... does not contain the frozen layer that failed to flush and
2. ... won't re-ingest that WAL either because walreceiver
starts up with the advanced disk_consistent_lsn/remote_consistent_lsn.
The result is that the read path will have a gap in the reconstruct
data for the keys whose modifications were lost, resulting in
a) either walredo failure
b) or an incorrect page@lsn image if walredo doesn't error.
The Fix
-------
The fix is to only do the artificial advancement if `result.is_ok()`.
Misc
----
As an aside, I took some time to re-review the flush loop and its
callers.
I found one more bug related to error handling that I filed here:

## Problem
I have a hypothesis that import might be using lower number of jobs than
max for the VM, where the job is running. This change will help finding
this out from logs
## Summary of changes
Added logging of number of jobs, which is passed into both `pg_dump` and
`pg_restore`
Adds two metrics to the storcon that are related to the safekeeper
reconciler:
* `storage_controller_safkeeper_reconciles_queued` to indicate currrent
queue depth
* `storage_controller_safkeeper_reconciles_complete` to indicate the
number of complete reconciles
Both metrics operate on a per-safekeeper basis (as reconcilers run on a
per-safekeeper basis too).
These metrics mirror the `storage_controller_pending_reconciles` and
`storage_controller_reconcile_complete` metrics, although those are not
scoped on a per-pageserver basis but are global for the entire storage
controller.

## Problem
Disk usage eviction isn't sensitive to layers of imported timelines.
## Summary of changes
Hook importing timelines up into eviction and add a test for it.
I don't think we need any special eviction logic for this. These layers
will all be visible and
their access time will be their creation time. Hence, we'll remove
covered layers first
and get to the imported layers if there's still disk pressure.
## Problem
Importing timelines can't currently be deleted. This is problematic
because:
1. Cplane cannot delete failed imports and we leave the timeline behind.
2. The flow does not support user driven cancellation of the import
## Summary of changes
On the pageserver: I've taken the path of least resistance, extended
`TimelineOrOffloaded`
with a new variant and added handling in the right places. I'm open to
thoughts here,
but I think it turned out better than I was envisioning.
On the storage controller: Again, fairly simple business: when a DELETE
timeline request is
received, we remove the import from the DB and stop any finalization
tasks/futures. In order
to stop finalizations, we track them in-memory. For each finalizing
import, we associate a gate
and a cancellation token.
Note that we delete the entry from the database before cancelling any
finalizations. This is such
that a concurrent request can't progress the import into finalize state
and race with the deletion.
This concern about deleting an import with on-going finalization is
theoretical in the near future.
We are only going to delete importing timelines after the storage
controller reports the failure to
cplane. Alas, the design works for user driven cancellation too.

The `test_storcon_create_delete_sk_down` test is still flaky. This test
addresses two possible causes for flakiness. both causes are related to
deletion racing with `pull_timeline` which hasn't finished yet.
* the first cause is timeline deletion racing with `pull_timeline`:
* the first deletion attempt doesn't contain the line because the
timeline doesn't exist yet
* the subsequent deletion attempts don't contain it either, only a note
that the timeline is already deleted.
* so this patch adds the note that the timeline is already deleted to
the regex
* the second cause is about tenant deletion racing with `pull_timeline`:
* there were no tenant specific tombstones so if a tenant was deleted,
we only added tombstones for the specific timelines being deleted, not
for the tenant itself.
* This patch changes this, so we now have tenant specific tombstones as
well as timeline specific ones, and creation of a timeline checks both.
* we also don't see any retries of the tenant deletion in the logs. once
it's done it's done. so extend the regex to contain the tenant deletion
message as well.
One could wonder why the regex and why not using the API to check
whether the timeline is just "gone". The issue with the API is that it
doesn't allow one to distinguish between "deleted" and "has never
existed", and latter case might race with `pull_timeline`. I.e. the
second case flakiness helped in the discovery of a real bug (no tenant
tombstones), so the more precise check was helpful.
Before, I could easily reproduce 2-9 occurences of flakiness when
running the test with an additional `range(128)` parameter (i.e. 218
times 4 times). With this patch, I ran it three times, not a single
failure.
Fixes#11838
## Problem
Import planning takes a job size limit as its input. Previously, the job
size came from a pageserver config field. This field may change while
imports are in progress. If this happens, plans will no longer be
identical and the import would fail permanently.
## Summary of Changes
Bake the job size into the import progress reported to the storage
controller. For new imports, use the value from the pagesever config,
and, for existing imports, use the value present in the shard progress.
This value is identical for all shards, but we want it to be versioned
since future versions of the planner might split the jobs up
differently. Hence, it ends up in `ShardImportProgress`.

Currently we create image layers at latest record LSN. We would create
"future image layers" (i.e., image layers with LSN larger than disk
consistent LSN) that need special handling at startup. We also waste a

compacted all of the L0 layers and operate on a flat level of historic
layers.

## Problem
We have some gaps in our traces. This indicates missing spans.
## Summary of changes
This PR adds two new spans:
* WAIT_EXECUTOR: time a batched request spends in the batch waiting to
be picked up
* FLUSH_RESPONSE: time a get page request spends flushing the response
to the compute
## Problem
The page API gRPC errors need a few tweaks to integrate better with the
GetPage machinery.
Touches https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11728.
## Summary of changes
* Add `GetPageStatus::InternalError` for internal server errors.
* Rename `GetPageStatus::Invalid` to `InvalidRequest` for clarity.
* Rename `status` and `GetPageStatus` to `status_code` and
`GetPageStatusCode`.
* Add an `Into<tonic::Status>` implementation for `ProtocolError`.
Some tests still explicitly specify version 3 of the safekeeper
walproposer protocol. Remove the explicit opt in from the tests as v3 is
the default now since #11518.
We don't touch the places where a test exercises both v2 and v3. Those
we leave for #12021.

In order to enable TLS connections between computes and safekeepers, we
need to provide the control plane with a way to configure the various
libpq keyword parameters, sslmode and sslrootcert. neon.safekeepers is a
comma separated list of safekeepers formatted as host:port, so isn't
available for extension in the same way that neon.pageserver_connstring
is. This could be remedied in a future PR.

Support timeline creations on the storage controller to opt out from
their creation on the safekeepers, introducing the read-only timelines
concept. Read only timelines:
* will never receive WAL of their own, so it's fine to not create them
on the safekeepers
* the property is non-transitive. children of read-only timelines aren't
neccessarily read-only themselves.
This feature can be used for snapshots, to prevent the safekeepers from
being overloaded by empty timelines that won't ever get written to. In
the current world, this is not a problem, because timelines are created
implicitly by the compute connecting to a safekeeper that doesn't have
the timeline yet. In the future however, where the storage controller
creates timelines eagerly, we should watch out for that.
We represent read-only timelines in the storage controller database so
that we ensure that they never touch the safekeepers at all. Especially
we don't want them to cause a mess during the importing process of the
timelines from the cplane to the storcon database.
In a hypothetical future where we have a feature to detach timelines
from safekeepers, we'll either need to find a way to distinguish the
two, or if not, asking safekeepers to list the (empty) timeline prefix
and delete everything from it isn't a big issue either.
This patch will unconditionally hit the new safekeeper timeline creation
path for read-only timelines, without them needing the
`--timelines-onto-safekeepers` flag enabled. This is done because it's
lower risk (no safekeepers or computes involved at all) and gives us
some initial way to verify at least some parts of that code in prod.

Previously we were using project-id/endpoint-id as SYSLOGTAG, which has
a
limit of 32 characters, so the endpoint-id got truncated.
The output is now in RFC5424 format, where the message is json encoded
with additional metadata `endpoint_id` and `project_id`
Also as pgaudit logs multiline messages, we now detect this by parsing
the timestamp in the specific format, and consider non-matching lines to
belong in the previous log message.
Using syslog structured-data would be an alternative, but leaning
towards json
due to being somewhat more generic.

## Summary of changes
* Integrate feature store with tenant structure.
* gc-compaction picks up the current strategy from the feature store.
* We only log them for now for testing purpose. They will not be used
until we have more patches to support different strategies defined in
PostHog.
* We don't support property-based evaulation for now; it will be
implemented later.
* Evaluating result of the feature flag is not cached -- it's not
efficient and cannot be used on hot path right now.
* We don't report the evaluation result back to PostHog right now.
I plan to enable it in staging once we get the patch merged.

## Problem
We see unexpected basebackup error alerts in the alert channel.
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11778 only fixed the alerts
for shutdown errors. However, another path is that tenant shutting down
while waiting LSN -> WaitLsnError::BadState -> QueryError::Reconnect.
Therefore, the reconnect error should also be discarded from the
ok/error counter.

## Problem
For the gRPC Pageserver API, we should convert the Protobuf types to
stricter, canonical Rust types.
Touches https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11728.
## Summary of changes
Adds Rust domain types that mirror the Protobuf types, with conversion
and validation.
## Problem
We need authentication for the gRPC server.
Requires #11972.
Touches #11728.
## Summary of changes
Add two request interceptors that decode the tenant/timeline/shard
metadata and authenticate the JWT token against them.
## Problem
We want to expose the page service over gRPC, for use with the
communicator.
Requires #11995.
Touches #11728.
## Summary of changes
This patch wires up a gRPC server in the Pageserver, using Tonic. It
does not yet implement the actual page service.
* Adds `listen_grpc_addr` and `grpc_auth_type` config options (disabled
by default).
* Enables gRPC by default with `neon_local`.
* Stub implementation of `page_api.PageService`, returning unimplemented
errors.
* gRPC reflection service for use with e.g. `grpcurl`.
Subsequent PRs will implement the actual page service, including
authentication and observability.
Notably, TLS support is not yet implemented. Certificate reloading
requires us to reimplement the entire Tonic gRPC server.
## Problem
For #11992 I realised we need to get the type info before executing the
query. This is important to know how to decode rows with custom types,
eg the following query:
```sql
CREATE TYPE foo AS ENUM ('foo','bar','baz');
SELECT ARRAY['foo'::foo, 'bar'::foo, 'baz'::foo] AS data;
```
Getting that to work was harder that it seems. The original
tokio-postgres setup has a split between `Client` and `Connection`,
where messages are passed between. Because multiple clients were
supported, each client message included a dedicated response channel.
Each request would be terminated by the `ReadyForQuery` message.
The flow I opted to use for parsing types early would not trigger a
`ReadyForQuery`. The flow is as follows:
```
PARSE "" // parse the user provided query
DESCRIBE "" // describe the query, returning param/result type oids
FLUSH // force postgres to flush the responses early
// wait for descriptions
// check if we know the types, if we don't then
// setup the typeinfo query and execute it against each OID:
PARSE typeinfo // prepare our typeinfo query
DESCRIBE typeinfo
FLUSH // force postgres to flush the responses early
// wait for typeinfo statement
// for each OID we don't know:
BIND typeinfo
EXECUTE
FLUSH
// wait for type info, might reveal more OIDs to inspect
// close the typeinfo query, we cache the OID->type map and this is kinder to pgbouncer.
CLOSE typeinfo
// finally once we know all the OIDs:
BIND "" // bind the user provided query - already parsed - to the user provided params
EXECUTE // run the user provided query
SYNC // commit the transaction
```
## Summary of changes
Please review commit by commit. The main challenge was allowing one
query to issue multiple sub-queries. To do this I first made sure that
the client could fully own the connection, which required removing any
shared client state. I then had to replace the way responses are sent to
the client, by using only a single permanent channel. This required some
additional effort to track which query is being processed. Lastly I had
to modify the query/typeinfo functions to not issue `sync` commands, so
it would fit into the desired flow above.
To note: the flow above does force an extra roundtrip into each query. I
don't know yet if this has a measurable latency overhead.
## Problem
- Benchmark periodic pagebench had inconsistent benchmarking results
even when run with the same commit hash.
Hypothesis is this was due to running on dedicated but virtualized EC
instance with varying CPU frequency.
- the dedicated instance type used for the benchmark is quite "old" and
we increasingly get `An error occurred (InsufficientInstanceCapacity)
when calling the StartInstances operation (reached max retries: 2):
Insufficient capacity.`
- periodic pagebench uses a snapshot of pageserver timelines to have the
same layer structure in each run and get consistent performance.
Re-creating the snapshot was a painful manual process (see
https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/27051 and
https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/27653)
## Summary of changes
- Run the periodic pagebench on a custom hetzner GitHub runner with
large nvme disk and governor set to defined perf profile
- provide a manual dispatch option for the workflow that allows to
create a new snapshot
- keep the manual dispatch option to specify a commit hash useful for
bi-secting regressions
- always use the newest created snapshot (S3 bucket uses date suffix in
S3 key, example
`s3://neon-github-public-dev/performance/pagebench/shared-snapshots-2025-05-17/`
- `--ignore`
`test_runner/performance/pageserver/pagebench/test_pageserver_max_throughput_getpage_at_latest_lsn.py`
in regular benchmarks run for each commit
- improve perf copying snapshot by using `cp` subprocess instead of
traversing tree in python
## Example runs with code in this PR:
- run which creates new snapshot

## Problem
We're about to implement a gRPC interface for Pageserver. Let's upgrade
Tonic first, to avoid a more painful migration later. It's currently
only used by storage-broker.
Touches #11728.
## Summary of changes
Upgrade Tonic 0.12.3 → 0.13.1. Also opportunistically upgrade Prost
0.13.3 → 0.13.5. This transitively pulls in Indexmap 2.0.1 → 2.9.0, but
it doesn't appear to be used in any particularly critical code paths.
## Problem
See https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11997
This guard prevents race condition with pump prefetch state (initiated
by timeout).
Assert checks that prefetching is also done under guard.
But prewarm knows nothing about it.
## Summary of changes
Pump prefetch state only in regular backends.
Prewarming is done by background workers now.
Also it seems to have not sense to pump prefetch state in any other
background workers: parallel executors, vacuum,... because they are
short living and can not leave unconsumed responses in socket.

or maybe there is another problem.

## Problem
For billing, we'd like per-branch consumption metrics.
Requires https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11984.
Resolves https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/28155.
## Summary of changes
This patch adds two new consumption metrics:
* `written_size_since_parent`: `written_size - ancestor_lsn`
* `pitr_history_size_since_parent`: `written_size - max(pitr_cutoff,
ancestor_lsn)`
Note that `pitr_history_size_since_parent` will not be emitted until the
PITR cutoff has been computed, and may or may not increase ~immediately
when a user increases their PITR window (depending on how much history
we have available and whether the tenant is restarted/migrated).
## Problem
When testing local proxy the auth-endpoint password shows up in command
line and log
```bash
RUST_LOG=proxy LOGFMT=text cargo run --release --package proxy --bin proxy --features testing -- \
--auth-backend postgres \
--auth-endpoint 'postgresql://postgres:secret_password@127.0.0.1:5432/postgres' \
--tls-cert server.crt \
--tls-key server.key \
--wss 0.0.0.0:4444
```
## Summary of changes
- Allow to set env variable PGPASSWORD
- fall back to use PGPASSWORD env variable when auth-endpoint does not
contain password
- remove auth-endpoint password from logs in `--features testing` mode
Example
```bash
export PGPASSWORD=secret_password
RUST_LOG=proxy LOGFMT=text cargo run --package proxy --bin proxy --features testing -- \
--auth-backend postgres \
--auth-endpoint 'postgresql://postgres@127.0.0.1:5432/postgres' \
--tls-cert server.crt \
--tls-key server.key \
--wss 0.0.0.0:4444
```
## Problem
It is not currently possible to disambiguate a timeline with an
uninitialized PITR cutoff from one that was created within the PITR
window -- both of these have `GcCutoffs::time == Lsn(0)`. For billing
metrics, we need to disambiguate these to avoid accidentally billing the
entire history when a tenant is initially loaded.
Touches https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/28155.
## Summary of changes
Make `GcCutoffs::time` an `Option<Lsn>`, and only set it to `Some` when
initialized. A `pitr_interval` of 0 will yield `Some(last_record_lsn)`.
This PR takes a conservative approach, and mostly retains the old
behavior of consumers by using `unwrap_or_default()` to yield 0 when
uninitialized, to avoid accidentally introducing bugs -- except in cases
where there is high confidence that the change is beneficial (e.g. for
the `pageserver_pitr_history_size` Prometheus metric and to return early
during GC).
## Problem
Hitting max_client_conn from pgbouncer would lead to invalidation of the
conn info cache.
Customers would hit the limit on wake_compute.
## Summary of changes
`should_retry_wake_compute` detects this specific error from pgbouncer
as non-retriable,
meaning we won't try to wake up the compute again.
## Problem
When using an incorrect endpoint string - `"localhost:4317"`, it's a
runtime error, but it can be a config error
- Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11394
## Summary of changes
Add config parse time check via `request::Url::parse` validation.

ingestion
3. `rel_size_replica_cache` has limited size (LruCache) and it's key is
`(Lsn,RelTag)` . It is updated in `get_rel_size`. Only strict LSN
matches are accepted as cache hit.

## Problem
In the escaping path we were checking that `${tag}$` or `${outer_tag}$`
are present in the string, but that's not enough, as original string
surrounded by `$` can also form a 'tag', like `$x$xx$x$`, which is fine
on it's own, but cannot be used in the string escaped with `$xx$`.
## Summary of changes
Remove `$` from the checks, just check if `{tag}` or `{outer_tag}` are
present. Add more test cases and change the catalog test to stress the
`drop_subscriptions_before_start: true` path as well.

## Problem
The gRPC page service API will require decoupling the `PageHandler` from
the libpq protocol implementation. As preparation for this, avoid
passing in the entire server config to `PageHandler`, and instead
explicitly pass in the relevant fields.
Touches https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11728.
## Summary of changes
* Change `PageHandler` to take a `GetVectoredConcurrentIo` instead of
the entire config.
* Change `IoConcurrency::spawn_from_conf` to take a
`GetVectoredConcurrentIo`.
## Problem
A binary Protobuf schema descriptor can be used to expose an API
reflection service, which in turn allows convenient usage of e.g.
`grpcurl` against the gRPC server.
Touches #11728.
## Summary of changes
* Generate a binary schema descriptor as
`pageserver_page_api::proto::FILE_DESCRIPTOR_SET`.
* Opportunistically rename the Protobuf package from `page_service` to
`page_api`.
## Problem
For the [communicator
project](https://github.com/neondatabase/company_projects/issues/352),
we want to move to gRPC for the page service protocol.
Touches #11728.
## Summary of changes
This patch adds an experimental gRPC Protobuf schema for the page
service. It is equivalent to the current page service, but with several
improvements, e.g.:
* Connection multiplexing.
* Reduced head-of-line blocking.
* Client-side batching.
* Explicit tenant shard routing.
* GetPage request classification (normal vs. prefetch).
* Explicit rate limiting ("slow down" response status).
The API is exposed as a new `pageserver/page_api` package. This is
separate from the `pageserver_api` package to reduce the dependency
footprint for the communicator. The longer-term plan is to also split
out e.g. the WAL ingestion service to a separate gRPC package, e.g.
`pageserver/wal_api`.
Subsequent PRs will: add Rust domain types for the Protobuf types,
expose a gRPC server, and implement the page service.
Preliminary prototype benchmarks of this gRPC API is within 10% of
baseline libpq performance. We'll do further benchmarking and
optimization as the implementation lands in `main` and is deployed to
staging.
## Problem
Currently the `logger` library throws annoying deprecation warnings:
```python
DeprecationWarning: The 'warn' method is deprecated, use 'warning' instead
```
## Summary of changes
This small PR resolves the annoying deprecation warnings by migrating to
`.warning` as suggested.

There were some incompatible changes. Most churn was from switching from
the now-deprecated fcntl:flock() function to
fcntl::Flock::lock(). The new function returns a guard object, while
with the old function, the lock was associated directly with the file
descriptor.
It's good to stay up-to-date in general, but the impetus to do this now
is that in https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11929, I want to
use some functions that were added only in the latest version of 'nix',
and it's nice to not have to build multiple versions. (Although,
different versions of 'nix' are still pulled in as indirect dependencies
from other packages)
## Problem
There's a misspelled flag value alias that's not really used anywhere.

## Problem
This PR is aimed at addressing the remaining work of #8200. Namely,
removing static usage of remote storage in favour of arc. I did not opt
to pass `Arc<RemoteStorage>` directly since it is actually
`Optional<RemoteStorage>` as it is not necessarily always configured. I
wanted to avoid having to pass `Arc<Optional<RemoteStorage>>` everywhere
with individual consuming functions likely needing to handle unwrapping.
Instead I've added a `WalBackup` struct that holds
`Optional<RemoteStorage>` and handles initialization/unwrapping
RemoteStorage internally. wal_backup functions now take self and
`Arc<WalBackup>` is passed as a dependency through the various consumers
that need it.
## Summary of changes
- Add `WalBackup` that holds `Optional<RemoteStorage>` and handles
initialization and unwrapping
- Modify wal_backup functions to take `WalBackup` as self (Add `w=1` to
github url when viewing diff here)
- Initialize `WalBackup` in safekeeper root
- Store `Arc<WalBackup>` in `GlobalTimelineMap` and pass and store in
each Timeline as loaded
- use `WalBackup` through Timeline as needed

We keep the practice of keeping the compiler up to date, pointing to the
latest release. This is done by many other projects in the Rust
ecosystem as well.
The 1.87.0 release marks 10 years of Rust.
[Announcement blog
post](https://blog.rust-lang.org/2025/05/15/Rust-1.87.0/)
Prior update was in #11431
This PR commits the benchmarks I ran to qualify concurrent IO before we
released it.
Changes:
- Add `l0stack` fixture; a reusable abstraction for creating a stack of
L0 deltas
each of which has 1 Value::Delta per page.
- Such a stack of L0 deltas is a good and understandable demo for
concurrent IO
because to reconstruct any page, $layer_stack_height` Values need to be
read.
Before concurrent IO, the reads were sequential.
With concurrent IO, they are executed concurrently.
- So, switch `test_latency` to use the l0stack.
- Teach `pagebench`, which is used by `test_latency`, to limit itself to
the blocks of the relation created by the l0stack abstraction.
- Additional parametrization of `test_latency` over dimensions
`ps_io_concurrency,l0_stack_height,queue_depth`
- Use better names for the tests to reflect what they do, leave
interpretation of the (now quite high-dimensional) results to the reader
- `test_{throughput => postgres_seqscan}`
- `test_{latency => random_reads}`
- Cut down on permutations to those we use in production. Runtime is
about 2min.

## Problem
Imports don't support schema evolution nicely. If we want to change the
stuff we keep in storcon,
we'd have to carry the old cruft around.
## Summary of changes
Version import progress. Note that the import progress version
determines the version of the import
job split and execution. This means that we can also use it as a
mechanism for deploying new import
implementations in the future.
## Problem
Timeline imports do not have progress checkpointing. Any time that the
tenant is shut-down, all progress is lost
and the import restarts from the beginning when the tenant is
re-attached.
## Summary of changes
This PR adds progress checkpointing.
### Preliminaries
The **unit of work** is a `ChunkProcessingJob`. Each
`ChunkProcessingJob` deals with the import for a set of key ranges. The
job split is done by using an estimation of how many pages each job will
produce.
The planning stage must be **pure**: given a fixed set of contents in
the import bucket, it will always yield the same plan. This property is
enforced by checking that the hash of the plan is identical when
resuming from a checkpoint.
The storage controller tracks the progress of each shard in the import
in the database in the form of the **latest
job** that has has completed.
### Flow
This is the high level flow for the happy path:
1. On the first run of the import task, the import task queries storcon
for the progress and sees that none is recorded.
2. Execute the preparatory stage of the import
3. Import jobs start running concurrently in a `FuturesOrdered`. Every
time the checkpointing threshold of jobs has been reached, notify the
storage controller.
4. Tenant is detached and re-attached
5. Import task starts up again and gets the latest progress checkpoint
from the storage controller in the form of a job index.
6. The plan is computed again and we check that the hash matches with
the original plan.
7. Jobs are spawned from where the previous import task left off. Note
that we will not report progress after the completion of each job, so
some jobs might run twice.
Closes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11568
Closes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11664
## Problem
Import up-calls did not enforce the usage of the latest generation. The
import might have finished in one previous generation, but not in the
latest one. Hence, the controller might try to activate a timeline
before it is ready. In theory, that would be fine, but it's tricky to
reason about.
## Summary of Changes
Pageserver provides the current generation in the upcall to the storage
controller and the later validates the generation. If the generation is
stale, we return an error which stops progress of the import job. Note
that the import job will retry the upcall until the stale location is
detached.

## Problem
close https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11159 ; we get
occasional wrong deletions of layer files being used and errors in
staging. This patch fixed it.
Example errors:
```
Timeline metadata errors: ["index_part.json contains a layer .... (shard 0000) that is not present in remote storage (layer_is_l0: false) with error: Failed to download a remote file: s3 head object\n\nCaused by:\n 0: dispatch failure\n 1: timeout\n 2: error trying to connect: HTTP connect timeout occurred after 3.1s\n
```
This error should not be fired because the file could exist, but we
cannot know if it exists due to head request failure.
## Summary of changes
Only generate cannot find layer errors when the head_object return type
is `NotFound`.

Use the current production config for batching & concurrent IO.
Remove the permutation testing for unit tests from CI.
(The pageserver unit test matrix takes ~10min for debug builds).
Drive-by-fix use of `if cfg!(test)` inside crate `pageserver_api`.
It is ineffective for early-enabling new defaults for pageserver unit
tests only.
The reason is that the `test` cfg is only set for the crate under test
but not its dependencies.
So, `cargo test -p pageserver` will build `pageserver_api` with
`cfg!(test) == false`.
Resort to checking for feature flag `testing` instead, since all our
unit tests are run with `--feature testing`.

## Problem
The regression test on extensions relied on the admin API to set the
default endpoint settings, which is not stable and requires admin
privileges. Specifically:
- The workflow was using `default_endpoint_settings` to configure
necessary PostgreSQL settings like `DateStyle`, `TimeZone`, and
`neon.allow_unstable_extensions`
- This approach was failing because the API endpoint for setting
`default_endpoint_settings` was changed (referenced in a comment as
issue #27108)
- The admin API requires special privileges.
## Summary of changes
We get rid of the admin API dependency and use ALTER DATABASE statements
instead:
**Removed the default_endpoint_settings mechanism:**
- Removed the default_endpoint_settings input parameter from the
neon-project-create action
- Removed the API call that was attempting to set these settings at the
project level
- Completely removed the default_endpoint_settings configuration from
the cloud-extensions workflow
**Added database-level settings:**
- Created a new `alter_db.sh` script that applies the same settings
directly to each test database
- Modified all extension test scripts to call this script after database
creation
## Problem
Hopefully resolves `test_gc_feedback` flakiness.

## Problem
Lifetime of imported timelines (and implicitly the import background
task) has some shortcomings:
1. Timeline activation upon import completion is tricky. Previously, a
timeline that finished importing
after a tenant detach would not get activated and there's concerns about
the safety of activating
concurrently with shut-down.
2. Import jobs can prevent tenant shut down since they hold the tenant
gate
## Summary of Changes
Track the import tasks in memory and abort them explicitly on tenant
shutdown.
Integrate more closely with the storage controller:
1. When an import task has finished all of its jobs, it notifies the
storage controller, but **does not** mark the import as done in the
index_part. When all shards have finished importing, the storage
controller will call the `/activate_post_import` idempotent endpoint for
all of them. The handler, marks the import complete in index part,
resets the tenant if required and checks if the timeline is active yet.
2. Not directly related, but the import job now gets the starting state
from the storage controller instead of the import bucket. This paves the
way for progress checkpointing.

## Problem
1. Safekeeper selection on the pageserver side isn't very dynamic. Once
you connect to one safekeeper, you'll use that one for as long as the
safekeeper keeps the connection alive. In principle, we could be more
eager, since the wal receiver connection can be cancelled but we don't
do that. We wait until the "session" is done and then we pick a new SK.
2. Picking a new SK is quite conservative. We will switch if:
a. We haven't received anything from the SK within the last 10 seconds
(wal_connect_timeout) or
b. The candidate SK is 1GiB ahead or
c. The candidate SK is in the same AZ as the PS or d. There's a
candidate that is ahead and we've not had any WAL within the last 10
seconds (lagging_wal_timeout)
Hence, we can end up with pageservers that are requesting WAL which
their safekeeper hasn't seen yet.

## Problem
We implemented the retry logic in AWS S3 but not in Azure. Therefore, if
there is an error during Azure listing, we will return an Err to the
caller, and the stream will end without fetching more tenants.
Part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11159
Without this fix, listing tenant will stop once we hit an error (could
be network errors -- that happens more frequent on Azure). If we happen
to stop at a point that we only listed part of the shards, we will hit
the "missed shards" error or even remove layers being used.
This bug (for Azure listing) was introduced as part of
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9840
There is also a bug that stops the stream for AWS when there's a timeout
-- this is fixed along with this patch.
## Summary of changes
Retry the request on error. In the future, we should make such streams
return something like `Result<Result<T>>` where the outer result is the
error that ends the stream and the inner one is the error that should be
retried by the caller.

Make `pull_timeline` check tombstones by default. Otherwise, we'd be
recreating timelines if the order between creation and deletion got
mixed up, as seen in #11838.
Fixes#11838.
This PR adds a runtime validation mode to check adherence to alignment
and size-multiple requirements at the VirtualFile level.
This can help prevent alignment bugs from slipping into production
because test systems may have more lax requirements than production.
(This is not the case today, but it could change in the future).
It also allows catching O_DIRECT bugs on systems that don't have
O_DIRECT (macOS).
Consequently, we can now accept
`virtual_file_io_mode={direct,direct-rw}` on macOS now.
This has the side benefit of removing some annoying conditional
compilation around `IoMode`.
A third benefit is that it helped weed out size-multiple requirement
violation bugs in how the VirtualFile unit tests exercise read and write
APIs.
I seized the opportunity to trim these tests down to what actually
matters, i.e., exercising of the `OpenFiles` file descriptor cache.
Lastly, this PR flips the binary-built-in default to `DirectRw` so that
when running Python regress tests and benchmarks without specifying
`PAGESERVER_VIRTUAL_FILE_IO_MODE`, one gets the production behavior.

env-var-based parametrization ineffective.
As a consequence, the tests and benchmarks in `test_runner/` were using

With the 50ms timeouts of pumping state in connector.c, we need to
correctly handle these timeouts that also wake up pg_usleep.
This new approach makes the connection attempts re-start the wait

## Problem
We observe image compaction errors after gc-compaction finishes
compacting below the gc_cutoff. This is because `repartition` returns an
LSN below the gc horizon as we (likely) determined that `distance <=
self.repartition_threshold`.

compaction but we should skip image compaction if the returned LSN is
below the gc horizon.

# Problem
Before this PR, timeline shutdown would
- cancel the walreceiver cancellation token subtree (child token of
Timeline::cancel)
- call freeze_and_flush
- Timeline::cancel.cancel()
- ... bunch of waiting for things ...
- Timeline::gate.close()
As noted by the comment that is deleted by this PR, this left a window
where, after freeze_and_flush, walreceiver could still be running and
ingest data into a new InMemoryLayer.
This presents a potential source of log noise during Timeline shutdown
where the InMemoryLayer created after the freeze_and_flush observes
that Timeline::cancel is cancelled, failing the ingest with some
anyhow::Error wrapping (deeply) a `FlushTaskError::Cancelled` instance
(`flush task cancelled` error message).
# Solution
It turns out that it is quite easy to shut down, not just cancel,
walreceiver completely
because the only subtask spawned by walreceiver connection manager is
the `handle_walreceiver_connection` task, which is properly shut down
and waited upon when the manager task observes cancellation and exits
its retry loop.
The alternative is to replace all the usage of `anyhow` on the ingest
path
with differentiated error types. A lot of busywork for little gain to
fix
a potential logging noise nuisance, so, not doing that for now.
# Correctness / Risk
We do not risk leaking walreceiver child tasks because existing
discipline
is to hold a gate guard.
We will prolong `Timeline::shutdown` to the degree that we're no longer
making
progress with the rest of shutdown while the walreceiver task hasn't yet
observed cancellation. In practice, this should be negligible.
`Timeline::shutdown` could fail to complete if there is a hidden
dependency
of walreceiver shutdown on some subsystem. The code certainly suggests
there
isn't, and I'm not aware of any such dependency. Anyway, impact will be
low
because we only shut down Timeline instances that are obsolete, either
because
there is a newer attachment at a different location, or because the
timeline
got deleted by the user. We would learn about this through stuck cplane
operations or stuck storcon reconciliations. We would be able to
mitigate by
cancelling such stuck operations/reconciliations and/or by rolling back
pageserver.

## Problem
During deployment drains/fills, we often see the storage controller

## Summary of changes

# Refs

# Problem
PR #10993 introduced internal retries for BufferedWriter flushes.
PR #11052 added cancellation sensitivity to that retry loop.
That cancellation sensitivity is an error path that didn't exist before.
The result is that during timeline shutdown, after we
`Timeline::cancel`, compaction can now fail with error `flush task
cancelled`.
The problem with that:
1. We mis-classify this as an `error!`-worthy event.
2. This causes tests to become flaky because the error is not in global
`allowed_errors`.
Technically we also trip the `compaction_circuit_breaker` because the
resulting `CompactionError` is variant `::Other`.
But since this is Timeline shutdown, is doesn't matter practically
speaking.
# Solution / Changes
- Log the anyhow stack trace when classifying a compaction error as
`error!`.
This was helpful to identify sources of `flush task cancelled` errors.
We only log at `error!` level in exceptional circumstances, so, it's ok
to have bit verbose logs.
- Introduce typed errors along the `BufferedWriter::write_*`=>
`BlobWriter::write_blob`
=> `{Delta,Image}LayerWriter::put_*` =>
`Split{Delta,Image}LayerWriter::put_{value,image}` chain.
- Proper mapping to `CompactionError`/`CreateImageLayersError` via new
`From` impls.
I am usually opposed to any magic `From` impls, but, it's how most of
the compaction code
works today.
# Testing
The symptoms are most prevalent in
`test_runner/regress/test_branch_and_gc.py::test_branch_and_gc`.
Before this PR, I was able to reproduce locally 1 or 2 times per 400
runs using
`DEFAULT_PG_VERSION=15 BUILD_TYPE=release poetry run pytest --count 400
-n 8`.
After this PR, it doesn't reproduce anymore after 2000 runs.
# Future Work
Technically the ingest path is also exposed to this new source of errors
because `InMemoryLayer` is backed by `BufferedWriter`.
But we haven't seen it occur in flaky tests yet.

# Problem
Before this PR, `test_pageserver_catchup_while_compute_down` would
occasionally fail due to scary-looking WARN log line
```
WARN ephemeral_file_buffered_writer{...}:flush_attempt{attempt=1}: \
error flushing buffered writer buffer to disk, retrying after backoff err=Operation canceled (os error 125)
```
After lengthy investigation, the conclusion is that this is likely due
to a kernel bug related due to io_uring async workers (io-wq) and
signals.
The main indicator is that the error only ever happens in correlation
with pageserver shtudown when SIGTERM is received.
There is a fix that is merged in 6.14
kernels (`io-wq: backoff when retrying worker creation`).
However, even when I revert that patch, the issue is not reproducible
on 6.14, so, it remains a speculation.
It was ruled out that the ECANCELED is due to the executor thread
exiting before the async worker starts processing the operation.
# Solution
The workaround in this issue is to retry the operation on ECANCELED
once.
Retries are safe because the low-level io_engine operations are
idempotent.
(We don't use O_APPEND and I can't think of another flag that would make
the APIs covered by this patch not idempotent.)
# Testing
With this PR, the warn! log no longer happens on [my reproducer
setup](https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11446#issuecomment-2843015111).
And the new rate-limited `info!`-level log line informing about the
internal retry shows up instead, as expected.

Corrects the postgres extension s3 gateway address to
be not just a domain name but a full base URL.
To make the code more readable, the option is renamed
to "remote_ext_base_url", while keeping the old name
also accessible by providing a clap argument alias.
Also provides a very simple and, perhaps, even redundant
unit test to confirm the logic behind parsing of the
corresponding CLI argument.
## Problem
As it is clearly stated in
https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/26005, using of the short
version of the domain name might work for now, but in the future, we
should get rid of using the `default` namespace and this is where it
will, most likely, break down.
## Summary of changes
The changes adjust the domain name of the extension s3 gateway to use
the proper base url format instead of the just domain name assuming the
"default" namespace and add a new CLI argument name for to reflect the
change and the expectance.
## Problem

`ALTER DATABASE ... SET ...`. Some of these overrides, like `role` or
`default_transaction_read_only`, affect `compute_ctl`'s ability to
configure the DB schema properly.
## Summary of changes
Enforce `role=cloud_admin`, `statement_timeout=0`, and move
`default_transaction_read_only=off` override from control plane [1] to
`compute_ctl`. Also, enforce `search_path=public` just in case, although
we do not call any functions in user databases.

Add `/lfc/(prewarm|offload)` routes to `compute_ctl` which interact with
endpoint storage.
Add `prewarm_lfc_on_startup` spec option which, if enabled, downloads
LFC prewarm data on compute startup.
Resolves: https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/26343
## Problem
Currently the setup for `anon` v2 in the compute image downloads the
latest version of the extension. This can be problematic as on a compute
start/restart it can download a version that is newer than what we have
tested and potentially break things, hence not giving us the ability to
control when the extension is updated.
We were also using `v2.2.0`, which is not ready for production yet and
has been clarified by the maintainer.
Additional context:
https://gitlab.com/dalibo/postgresql_anonymizer/-/issues/530
## Summary of changes
Changed the URL from which we download the `anon` extension to point to
`v2.1.0` instead of `latest`.
Currently we only have an admin scope which allows a user to bypass the
compute_id check. When the admin scope is provided, validate the
audience of the JWT to be "compute".

## Problem
When aborting a split, the code accidentally removes all other tenant

# Improve OpenOptions API ergonomics
Closes#11787
This PR improves the OpenOptions API ergonomics by:
1. Making OpenOptions methods take and return owned Self instead of &mut
self
2. Changing VirtualFile::open_with_options_v2 to take an owned
OpenOptions
3. Removing unnecessary .clone() and .to_owned() calls
These changes make the API more idiomatic Rust by leveraging the builder
pattern with owned values, which is cleaner and more ergonomic than the
previous approach.

revert the flag to avoid creating a discrepancy between staging and the

spawning the monitor into the thread where the monitor will actually
start working.

## Problem
`TermsCollectedMset` and `VotesCollectedMset` accept a MemberSet
argument to find a quorum in. It may be either `wp->mconf.members` or
`wp->mconf.new_members`. But the loops inside always use
`wp->mconf.members.len`.
If the sizes of member sets are different, it may lead to these
functions not scanning all the safekeepers from `mset`.
We are not planning to change the member set size dynamically now, but
it's worth fixing anyway.

## Summary of changes

This patch contains some fixes of issues I ran into for #11712:
* make `pull_timeline` return success for timeline that already exists.
This follows general API design of storage components: API endpoints are
retryable and converge to a status code, instead of starting to error.
We change the `pull_timeline`'s return type a little bit, because we
might not actually have a source sk to pull from. Note that the fix is
not enough, there is still a race when two `pull_timeline` instances
happen in parallel: we might try to enter both pulled timelines at the
same time. That can be fixed later.
* make `pull_timeline` support one safekeeper being down. In general, if
one safekeeper is down, that's not a problem. the added comment explains
a potential situation (found in the `test_lagging_sk` test for example)
* don't log very long errors when computes try to connect to safekeepers
that don't have the timeline yet, if `allow_timeline_creation` is false.
That flag is enabled when a sk connection string with generation numbers
is passed to the compute, so we'll hit this code path more often. E.g.
when a safekeeper missed a timeline creation, but the compute connects
to it first before the `pull_timeline` gets requested by the storcon
reconciler: this is a perfectly normal situation. So don't log the whole
error backtrace, and don't log it on the error log level, but only on
info.

Update the compute Dockerfile to use a new version of pgrag. The new

background workers on postmaster exit.
## Problem
In #11727 I overlooked the case of multiple attached locations for shard
0.
I misread the code and thought `create_one` acts on one location, but it
actually acts on one _shard_, which is potentially multiple locations.
This was not a regression, but it meant that the fix was incomplete.
## Summary of changes
- In `create_one`, when updating shard zero, have any "other" locations
use the initdb from shard 0
Right now we only support running one reconciliation per safekeeper.
This is of course usually way below of what a safekeeper can do.
Therefore, introduce a semaphore and spawn the tasks asynchronously as
they come in.

# Remove SAFEKEEPER_AUTH_TOKEN env var parsing from safekeeper
This PR is a follow-up to #11443 that removes the parsing of the
`SAFEKEEPER_AUTH_TOKEN` environment variable from the safekeeper
codebase while keeping the `auth_token_path` CLI flag functionality.
## Changes:
- Removed code that checks for the `SAFEKEEPER_AUTH_TOKEN` environment
variable
- Updated comments to reflect that only the `auth_token_path` CLI flag
is now used
As mentioned in PR #11443, the environment variable approach was planned
to be deprecated and removed in favor of the file-based approach, which
is more secure since environment variables can be quite public in both
procfs and unit files.

## Problem
The `pageserver_smgr_query_seconds` buckets are too coarse, using powers
of 10: 1 µs, 10 µs, 100 µs, 1 ms, 10 ms, 100 ms, 1 s, 10 s, 100 s. This
is one of our most crucial latency metrics, and needs better resolution.
Touches #11594.
## Summary of changes
This patch uses buckets with better resolution around 1 ms (the typical
latency):
* 0.6 ms
* 1 ms
* 3 ms
* 6 ms
* 10 ms
* 30 ms
* 100 ms
* 1 s
* 3 s
These will be the same as the compute's `compute_getpage_wait_seconds`,
to make them comparable across the compute and Pageserver:
https://github.com/neondatabase/flux-fleet/pull/579. We sacrifice
buckets above 3 s, since these can already be considered "too slow".
This does not change the previously used `CRITICAL_OP_BUCKETS`, which is
also used for other operations on different timescales (e.g. LSN waits).
We should consider replacing this with more appropriate buckets for
specific operations, since it covers a large span with low resolution.

## Problem
Shard splits break timeline imports.
## Summary of Changes
Ensure mutual exclusion for imports and shard splits.
On the shard split code path:
1. Right before shard splitting, check the database to ensure that
no-import is on-going for the tenant. Exclusion is guaranteed because
this validation is done while holding the exclusive tenant lock.
Timeline creation (and import creation implicitly) requires a shared
tenant lock.
2. When selecting a shard to split, use the in-mem state to exclude
shards with an on-going import. This is opportunistic since an import
might start after the check, but allows shard splits to make progres
instead of continously retrying to split the same shard.
On the timeline creation code path:
1. Check the in-memory splitting flag on all shards of the tenant. If
any of them are splitting, error out asking the client to retry. On the
happy path this is not required, due to the tenant lock set-up described
above, but it covers the case where we restart with a pending
shard-split.

## Problem
The docker compose test script (`docker_compose_test.sh`) had
inconsistent codestyle, mixing legacy syntax with modern approaches and
not following best practices at all. This inconsistency could lead to
potential issues with variable expansion, path handling, and
maintainability.
## Summary of changes
This PR modernizes the test script with several codestyle improvements:
* Variable scoping and exports:
* Added proper export declarations for environment variables
* Added explicit COMPOSE_PROFILES export to avoid repetitive flags
* Modern Bash syntax:
* Replaced [ ] with [[ ]] for safer conditional testing
* Used arithmetic operations (( cnt += 3 )) instead of expr
* Added proper variable expansion with braces ${variable}
* Added proper quoting around variables and paths with "${variable}"
* Docker Compose commands:
* Replaced hardcoded container names with service names
* Used docker compose exec instead of docker exec $CONTAINER_NAME
* Removed repetitive flags by using environment variables
* Shell script best practices:
* Added function keyword before function definition
* Used safer path handling with "$(dirname "${0}")"
These changes make the script more maintainable, less error-prone, and
more consistent with modern shell scripting standards.
## Problem

~~I have tested this code manually against real certificates/keys, I
didn't want to embed those in a test just yet, not until the cert
expires in 24 hours.~~
## Problem

We had the delta layer iterator and image layer iterator set to buffer
at most 8MB data. Note that 8MB is the compressed size, so it is
possible for those iterators contain more than 8MB data in memory.
For the recent OOM case, gc-compaction was running over 556 layers,
which means that we will have 556 active iterators. So in theory, it
could take up to 556*8=4448MB memory when the compaction is going on. If
images get compressed and the compression ratio is high (for that
tenant, we see 3x compression ratio across image layers), then that's
13344MB memory.
Also we have layer rewrites, which explains the memory taken by
gc-compaction itself (versus the iterators). We rewrite 424 out of 556
layers, and each of such rewrites need a pair of delta layer writer. So
we are buffering a lot of deltas in the memory.
The flamegraph shows that gc-compaction itself takes 6GB memory, delta
iterator 7GB, and image iterator 2GB, which can be explained by the
above theory.
## Summary of changes
- Reduce the buffer sizes.
- Estimate memory consumption and if it is too high.
- Also give up if the number of layers-to-rewrite is too high.

In https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11345 coordination of
imports moved to the storage controller.
It involves notifying cplane when the import has been completed by
calling an idempotent endpoint.
If the storage controller shuts down in the middle of finalizing an
import, it would never be retried.
## Summary of changes
Reconcile imports at start-up by fetching the complete imports from the
database and spawning a background
task which notifies cplane.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11570
## Problem
We saw the following scenario in staging:
1. Pod A starts up. Becomes leader and steps down the previous pod
cleanly.
2. Pod B starts up (deployment).
3. Step down request from pod B to pod A times out. Pod A did not manage
to stop its reconciliations within 10 seconds and exited with return
code 1
([code](7ba8519b43/storage_controller/src/service.rs (L8686-L8702))).
4. Pod B marks itself as the leader and finishes start-up
5. k8s restarts pod A
6. k8s marks pod B as ready
7. pod A sends step down request to pod A - this succeeds => pod A is
now the leader
8. k8s kills pod A because it thinks pod B is healthy and pod A is part
of the old replica set
We end up in a situation where the only pod we have (B) is stepped down
and attempts to forward requests to a leader that doesn't exist. k8s
can't detect that pod B is in a bad state since the /status endpoint
simply returns 200 hundred if the pod is running.
## Summary of changes
This PR includes a number of robustness improvements to the leadership
protocol:
* use a single step down task per controller
* add a new endpoint to be used as k8s liveness probe and check
leadership status there
* handle restarts explicitly (i.e. don't step yourself down)
* increase the step down retry count
* don't kill the process on long step down since k8s will just restart
it
# Problem
The Pageserver read path exclusively uses direct IO if
`virtual_file_io_mode=direct`.
The write path is half-finished. Here is what the various writing
components use:
|what|buffering|flags on <br/>`v_f_io_mode`<br/>=`buffered`|flags on
<br/>`virtual_file_io_mode`<br/>=`direct`|
|-|-|-|-|
|`DeltaLayerWriter`| BlobWriter<BUFFERED=true> | () | () |
|`ImageLayerWriter`| BlobWriter<BUFFERED=false> | () | () |
|`download_layer_file`|BufferedWriter|()|()|
|`InMemoryLayer`|BufferedWriter|()|O_DIRECT|
The vehicle towards direct IO support is `BufferedWriter` which
- largely takes care of O_DIRECT alignment & size-multiple requirements
- double-buffering to mask latency
`DeltaLayerWriter`, `ImageLayerWriter` use `blob_io::BlobWriter` , which
has neither of these.
# Changes
## High-Level
At a high-level this PR makes the following primary changes:
- switch the two layer writer types to use `BufferedWriter` & make
sensitive to `virtual_file_io_mode` (via open_with_options_**v2**)
- make `download_layer_file` sensitive to `virtual_file_io_mode` (also
via open_with_options_**v2**)
- add `virtual_file_io_mode=direct-rw` as a feature gate
- we're hackish-ly piggybacking on OpenOptions's ask for write access
here
- this means with just `=direct` InMemoryLayer reads and writes no
longer uses O_DIRECT
- this is transitory and we'll remove the `direct-rw` variant once the
rollout is complete
(The `_v2` APIs for opening / creating VirtualFile are those that are
sensitive to `virtual_file_io_mode`)
The result is:
|what|uses <br/>`BufferedWriter`|flags on
<br/>`v_f_io_mode`<br/>=`buffered`|flags on
<br/>`v_f_io_mode`<br/>=`direct`|flags on
<br/>`v_f_io_mode`<br/>=`direct-rw`|
|-|-|-|-|-|
|`DeltaLayerWriter`| ~~Blob~~BufferedWriter | () | () | O_DIRECT |
|`ImageLayerWriter`| ~~Blob~~BufferedWriter | () | () | O_DIRECT |
|`download_layer_file`|BufferedWriter|()|()|O_DIRECT|
|`InMemoryLayer`|BufferedWriter|()|~~O_DIRECT~~()|O_DIRECT|
## Code-Level
The main change is:
- Switch `blob_io::BlobWriter` away from its own buffering method to use
`BufferedWriter`.
Additional prep for upholding `O_DIRECT` requirements:
- Layer writer `finish()` methods switched to use IoBufferMut for
guaranteed buffer address alignment. The size of the buffers is PAGE_SZ
and thereby implicitly assumed to fulfill O_DIRECT requirements.
For the hacky feature-gating via `=direct-rw`:
- Track `OpenOptions::write(true|false)` in a field; bunch of mechanical
churn.
- Consolidate the APIs in which we "open" or "create" VirtualFile for
better overview over which parts of the code use the `_v2` APIs.
Necessary refactorings & infra work:
- Add doc comments explaining how BufferedWriter ensures that writes are
compliant with O_DIRECT alignment & size constraints. This isn't new,
but should be spelled out.
- Add the concept of shutdown modes to `BufferedWriter::shutdown` to
make writer shutdown adhere to these constraints.
- The `PadThenTruncate` mode might not be necessary in practice because
I believe all layer files ever written are sized in multiples `PAGE_SZ`
and since `PAGE_SZ` is larger than the current alignment requirements
(512/4k depending on platform), it won't be necesary to pad.
- Some test (I believe `round_trip_test_compressed`?) required it though
- [ ] TODO: decide if we want to accept that complexity; if we do then
address TODO in the code to separate alignment requirement from buffer
capacity
- Add `set_len` (=`ftruncate`) VirtualFile operation to support the
above.
- Allow `BufferedWriter` to start at a non-zero offset (to make room for
the summary block).
Cleanups unlocked by this change:
- Remove non-positional APIs from VirtualFile (e.g. seek, write_full,
read_full)
Drive-by fixes:
- PR https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11585 aimed to run unit
tests for all `virtual_file_io_mode` combinations but didn't because of
a missing `_` in the env var.
# Performance
This section assesses this PR's impact on deployments with current
production setting (`=direct`) and anticipated impact of switching to
(`=direct-rw`).
For `DeltaLayerWriter`, `=direct` should remain unchanged to slightly
improved on throughput because the `BlobWriter`'s buffer had the same
size as the `BufferedWriter`'s buffer, but it didn't have the
double-buffering that `BufferedWriter` has.
The `=direct-rw` enables direct IO; throughput should not be suffering
because of double-buffering; benchmarks will show if this is true.
The `ImageLayerWriter` was previously not doing any buffering
(`BUFFERED=false`).
It went straight to issuing the IO operation to the underlying
VirtualFile and the buffering was done by the kernel.
The switch to `BufferedWriter` under `=direct` adds an additional memcpy
into the BufferedWriter's buffer.
We will win back that memcpy when enabling direct IO via `=direct-rw`.
A nice win from the switch to `BufferedWriter` is that ImageLayerWriter
performs >=16x fewer write operations to VirtualFile (the BlobWriter
performs one write per len field and one write per image value).
This should save low tens of microseconds of CPU overhead from doing all
these syscalls/io_uring operations, regardless of `=direct` or
`=direct-rw`.
Aside from problems with alignment, this write frequency without
double-buffering is prohibitive if we actually have to wait for the
disk, which is what will happen when we enable direct IO via
(`=direct-rw`).
Throughput should not be suffering because of BufferedWrite's
double-buffering; benchmarks will show if this is true.
`InMemoryLayer` at `=direct` will flip back to using buffered IO but
remain on BufferedWriter.
The buffered IO adds back one memcpy of CPU overhead.
Throughput should not suffer and will might improve on
not-memory-pressured Pageservers but let's remember that we're doing the
whole direct IO thing to eliminate global memory pressure as a source of
perf variability.
## bench_ingest
I reran `bench_ingest` on `im4gn.2xlarge` and `Hetzner AX102`.
Use `git diff` with `--word-diff` or similar to see the change.
General guidance on interpretation:
- immediate production impact of this PR without production config
change can be gauged by comparing the same `io_mode=Direct`
- end state of production switched over to `io_mode=DirectRw` can be
gauged by comparing old results' `io_mode=Direct` to new results'
`io_mode=DirectRw`
Given above guidance, on `im4gn.2xlarge`
- immediate impact is a significant improvement in all cases
- end state after switching has same significant improvements in all
cases
- ... except `ingest/io_mode=DirectRw volume_mib=128 key_size_bytes=8192
key_layout=Sequential write_delta=Yes` which only achieves `238 MiB/s`
instead of `253.43 MiB/s`
- this is a 6% degradation
- this workload is typical for image layer creation

## Problem
`cargo-deny` 0.16.2 spits a bunch of warnings like:
```
warning[index-failure]: unable to check for yanked crates
```
The issue is fixed for the latest version of `cargo-deny` (0.18.2). And
while we're here, let's bump all the packages we have in `build-tools`
image

- bump mold to 2.37.1
- bump python to 3.11.12
## Problem
Currently, we only report the timestamp of the last moment we think
Postgres was active. The problem is that if Postgres gets completely
unresponsive, we still report some old timestamp, and it's impossible to
distinguish situations 'Postgres is effectively down' and 'Postgres is
running, but no client activity'.
## Summary of changes
Refactor the `compute_ctl`'s compute monitor so that it was easier to
track the connection errors and failed activity checks, and report
- `now() - last_successful_check` as current downtime on any failure
- cumulative Postgres downtime during the whole compute lifetime
After adding a test, I also noticed that the compute monitor may not
reconnect even though queries fail with `connection closed` or `error
communicating with the server: Connection reset by peer (os error 54)`,
but for some reason we do not catch it with `client.is_closed()`, so I
added an explicit reconnect in case of any failures.

Main change:
- `BufferedWriter` owns the `W`; no more `Arc<W>`
- We introduce auto-delete-on-drop wrappers for `VirtualFile`.
- `TempVirtualFile` for write-only users
- `TempVirtualFileCoOwnedByEphemeralFileAndBufferedWriter` for
EphemeralFile which requires read access to the immutable prefix of the
file (see doc comments for details)
- Users of `BufferedWriter` hand it such a wrapped `VirtualFile`.
- The wrapped `VirtualFile` moves to the background flush task.
- On `BufferedWriter` shutdown, ownership moves back.
- Callers remove the wrapper (`disarm_into_inner()`) after doing final
touches, e.g., flushing index blocks and summary for delta/image layer
writers.
If the BufferedWriter isn't shut down properly via
`BufferedWriter::shutdown`, or if there is an error during final
touches, the wrapper type ensures that the file gets unlinked.
We store a GateGuard inside the wrapper to ensure that the Timeline is
still alive when unlinking on drop.
Rust doesn't have async drop yet, so, the unlinking happens using a
synchronous syscall.
NB we don't fsync the surrounding directory.
This is how it's been before this PR; I believe it is correct because
all of these files are temporary paths that get cleaned up on timeline
load.
Again, timeline load does not need to fsync because the next timeline
load will unlink again if the file reappears.
The auto-delete-on-drop can happen after a higher-level mechanism
retries.
Therefore, we switch all users to monotonically increasing, never-reused
temp file disambiguators.
The aspects pointed out in the last two paragraphs will receive further
cleanup in follow-up task
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11692
Drive-by changes:
- It turns out we can remove the two-pronged code in the layer file
download code.
No need to make this a separate PR because all of production already
uses `tokio-epoll-uring` with the buffered writer for many weeks.

## Problem
Pageservers notify control plane directly when a shard import has
completed.
Control plane has to download the status of each shard from S3 and
figure out if everything is truly done,
before proceeding with branch activation.
Issues with this approach are:
* We can't control shard split behaviour on the storage controller side.
It's unsafe to split
during import.
* Control plane needs to know about shards and implement logic to check
all timelines are indeed ready.
## Summary of changes
In short, storage controller coordinates imports, and, only when
everything is done, notifies control plane.
Big rocks:
1. Store timeline imports in the storage controller database. Each
import stores the status of its shards in the database.
We hook into the timeline creation call as our entry point for this.
2. Pageservers get a new upcall endpoint to notify the storage
controller of shard import updates.
3. Storage controller handles these updates by updating persisted state.
If an update finalizes the import,
then poll pageservers until timeline activation, and, then, notify the
control plane that the import is complete.
Cplane side change with new endpoint is in

## Problem
We run benchmarks in batches (five parallel jobs on different runners).
If any test in a batch fails, we won’t upload any results for that
batch, even for the tests that passed.
## Summary of changes
- Move the results upload to a separate step in the run-python-test-set
action, and execute this step even if tests fail.
## Problem
If all batched requests are excluded from the query by
`Timeine::get_rel_page_at_lsn_batched` (e.g. because they are past the
end of the relation), the read path would panic since it doesn't expect
empty queries. This is a change in behaviour that was introduced with
the scattered query implementation.
## Summary of Changes
Handle empty queries explicitly.
This makes it easier to add a different client implementation alongside
the current one. I started working on a new gRPC-based protocol to
replace the libpq protocol, which will introduce a new function like
`client_libpq`, but for the new protocol.
It's a little more readable with less indentation anyway.

This delivers some additional fixes and improvements to storcon managed
safekeeper timelines:
* use `i32::MAX` for the generation number of timeline deletion
* start the generation for new timelines at 1 instead of 0: this ensures
that the other components actually are generation enabled
* fix database operations we use for metrics
* use join in list_pending_ops to prevent the classical ORM issue where
one does many db queries
* use enums in `test_storcon_create_delete_sk_down`. we are adding a
second parameter, and having two bool parameters is weird.
* extend `test_storcon_create_delete_sk_down` with a test of whole
tenant deletion. this hasn't been tested before.
* remove some redundant logging contexts
* Don't require mutable access to the service lock for scheduling
pending ops in memory. In order to pull this off, create reconcilers
eagerly. The advantage is that we don't need mutable access to the
service lock that way any more.

The idea behind it was to allow some breaking changes by adding a
special label to a PR that would `xfail` the test. However, in practice,
this means we would need to carry this label through all subsequent PRs
until the release (and artifact regeneration). This approach isn't
really viable, as it increases the risk of missing a compatibility break
in another PR.

shard ancestor compaction on a per-tenant basis.
Finally figured out the right incantation. I had had this in my original
go, but due to some refactoring and apparently missed testing, I
committed a mistake. The reason this doesn't currently break anything is
that we bypass the authorization middleware when the "testing" cargo
feature is enabled.

## Summary of changes
This patch fixes the rest 50% of instability of
`test_create_churn_during_restart`. During tenant warmup, we'll request
logical size; however, if the startup gets cancelled, we won't be able
to spawn the initial logical size calculation task that sets the
`cancel_wait_for_background_loop_concurrency_limit_semaphore`.
Therefore, we check `cancelled` before proceeding to get
`cancel_wait_for_background_loop_concurrency_limit_semaphore`. There
will still be a race if the timeline shutdown happens after L5710 and
before L5711, but it should be enough to reduce the flakiness of the
test.

## Problem
When doing power-of-two shard splits (i.e. 4 → 8 → 16), we end up
rewriting all layers since half of the pages will be local due to
striping. This causes a lot of resource usage when splitting large
tenants.
## Summary of changes
Drop the threshold of local/total pages to 30%, to reduce the amount of
layer rewrites after splits.
## Problem
Shard ancestor compaction can be very expensive following shard splits
of large tenants. We currently rewrite garbage layers after shard splits
as well, which can be a significant amount of data.

## Summary of changes
Don't rewrite invisible layers after shard splits.
## Problem
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11515 introduced a bug that
some key history cannot be verified.
If a key only exists above the horizon, the verification will fail for
its first occurrence because the history does not exist at that point.
As gc-compaction skips a key range whenever an error occurs, it might be
doing some wasted work in staging/prod now. But I'm not planning a
hotfix this week as the bug doesn't affect correctness/performance.

## Problem
Get page batching stops when we encounter requests at different LSNs.
We are leaving batching factor on the table.
## Summary of changes
The goal is to support keys with different LSNs in a single batch and
still serve them with a single vectored get.
Important restriction: the same key at different LSNs is not supported
in one batch. Returning different key
versions is a much more intrusive change.
Firstly, the read path is changed to support "scattered" queries. This
is a conceptually simple step from
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11463. Instead of initializing
the fringe for one keyspace,
we do it for multiple at different LSNs and let the logic already
present into the fringe handle selection.
Secondly, page service code is updated to support batching at different
LSNs. Eeach request parsed from the wire determines its effective
request LSN and keeps it in mem for the batcher toinspect. The batcher
allows keys at
different LSNs in one batch as long one key is not requested at
different LSNs.
I'd suggest doing the first pass commit by commit to get a feel for the
changes.
## Results
I used the batching test from [Christian's
PR](https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11391) which increases the
change of batch breaks. Looking at the logs I think the new code is at
the max batching factor for the workload (we
only break batches due to them being oversized or because the executor
is idle).

## Problem
Part of #9114
There was a debug-mode verification mode that verifies at every
retain_lsn. However, the code was tangled within the actual history
generation itself and it's hard to reason about correctness. This patch
adds a separate post-verification of the gc-compaction result that redos
logs at every retain_lsn and every record above the GC horizon. This
ensures that all key history we produce with gc-compaction is readable,
and if there're read errors after gc-compaction, it can only be
read-path errors instead of gc-compaction bugs.

I've originally been inspired to do this in #11496, but it's a
longer-term TODO.
## Problem

* Include details about the amount of work.
* Log progress messages for each layer, and when waiting for uploads.
* Log when compaction is completed, with elapsed duration and whether
there is more work for a later iteration.
## Problem
The `pagebench` benchmarks set up an initial dataset by creating a
template tenant, copying the remote storage to a bunch of new tenants,
and attaching them to Pageservers.
In #11420, we found that
`test_pageserver_characterize_throughput_with_n_tenants` had degraded
performance because it set a custom tenant config in Pageservers that
was then replaced with the default tenant config by the storage
controller.
The initial fix was to register the tenants directly in the storage
controller, but this created the tenants with generation 1. This broke
`test_basebackup_with_high_slru_count`, where the template tenant was at
generation 2, leading to all layer files at generation 2 being ignored.
Resolves#11485.
Touches #11381.
## Summary of changes
This patch addresses both test issues by modifying `attach_hook` to also
take a custom tenant config. This allows attaching tenants to
Pageservers from pre-existing remote storage, specifying both the
generation and tenant config when registering them in the storage
controller.
The batching perf test workload is currently read-only sequential scans.
However, realistic workloads have concurrent writes (to other pages)
going on.
This PR simulates concurrent writes to other pages by emitting logical
replication messages.
These degrade the achieved batching factor, for the reason see
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10765
PR
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11494
will fix this problem and get batching factor back up.

# Refs
- fixes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11395
# Problem
Since 2025-03-10, we have observed increased flakiness of
`test_pageserver_getpage_throttle`.
The test is timing-dependent by nature, and was hitting the
```
assert duration_secs >= 10 * actual_smgr_query_seconds, (
"smgr metrics should not include throttle wait time"
)
```
quite frequently.
# Analysis
These failures are not reproducible.
In this PR's history is a commit that reran the test 100 times without
requiring a single retry.
In https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11395 there is a link to
a query to the test results database.
It shows that the flakiness was not constant, but rather episodic:
2025-03-{10,11,12,13} 2025-03-{19,20,21} 2025-03-31 and 2025-04-01.
To me, this suggests variability in available CPU.
# Solution
The point of the offending assertion is to ensure that most of the
request latency is spent on throttling, because testing of the
throttling mechanism is the point of the test.
The `10` magic number means at most 10% of mean latency may be spent on
request processing.
Ideally we would control the passage of time (virtual clock source) to
make this test deterministic.
But I don't see that happening in our regression test setup.
So, this PR de-flakes the test as follows:
- allot up to 66% of mean latency for request processing
- increase duration from 10s to 20s, hoping to get better protection
from momentary CPU spikes in noisy neighbor tests or VMs on the runner
host
As a drive-by, switch to `pytest.approx` and remove one self-test
assertion I can't make sense of anymore.

Because it wasn't recursive, there was a limit to the depth of updates.

toplevel. It will be under the "spec" key.

## Summary of changes
- Reduce the scale of the test by 10x, since there was nothing special
about the original size.
## Problem
The graceful leadership transfer process involves calling step_down on
the old controller, but this was not waiting for shard splits to
complete, and the new controller could therefore end up trying to abort
a shard split while it was still going on.
We mitigated this already in #11256 by avoiding the case where shard
split completion would update the database incorrectly, but this was a
fragile fix because it assumes that is the only problematic part of the
split running concurrently.
Precursors:
- #11290
- #11256Closes: #11254
## Summary of changes
- Hold the reconciler gate from shard splits, so that step_down will
wait for them. Splits should always be fairly prompt, so it is okay to
wait here.
- Defense in depth: if step_down times out (hardcoded 10 second limit),
then fully terminate the controller process rather than letting it
continue running, potentially doing split-brainy things. This makes
sense because the new controller will always declare itself leader
unilaterally if step_down fails, so leaving an old controller running is
not beneficial.
- Tests: extend
`test_storage_controller_leadership_transfer_during_split` to separately
exercise the case of a split holding up step_down, and the case where
the overall timeout on step_down is hit and the controller terminates.

## Problem
Not a complete fix for https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11492
but should work for a short term.
Our current retry strategy for walredo is to retry every request exactly
once. This retry doesn't make sense because it retries all requests
exactly once and each error is expected to cause process restart and
cause future requests to fail. I'll explain it with a scenario of two
threads requesting redos: one with an invalid history (that will cause
walredo to panic) and another that has a correct redo sequence.
First let's look at how we handle retries right now in
do_with_walredo_process. At the beginning of the function it will spawn
a new process if there's no existing one. Then it will continue to redo.
If the process fails, the first process that encounters the error will
remove the walredo process object from the OnceCell, so that the next
time it gets accessed, a new process will be spawned; if it is the last
one that uses the old walredo process, it will kill and wait the process
in `drop(proc)`. I'm skeptical whether this works under races but I
think this is not the root cause of the problem. In this retry handler,
if there are N requests attached to a walredo process and the i-th
request fails (panics the walredo), all other N-i requests will fail and
they need to retry so that they can access a new walredo process.
```
time ---->
proc A None B
request 1 ^-----------------^ fail
uses A for redo replace with None
request 2 ^-------------------- fail
uses A for redo
request 3 ^----------------^ fail
uses A for redo last ref, wait for A to be killed
request 4 ^---------------
None, spawn new process B
```
The problem is with our retry strategy. Normally, for a system that we
want to retry on, the probability of errors for each of the requests are
uncorrelated. However, in walredo, a prior request that panics the
walredo process will cause all future walredo on that process to fail
(that's correlated).
So, back to the situation where we have 2 requests where one will
definitely fail and the other will succeed and we get the following
sequence, where retry attempts = 1,
* new walredo process A starts.
* request 1 (invalid) being processed on A and panics A, waiting for
retry, remove process A from the process object.
* request 2 (valid) being processed on A and receives pipe broken /
poisoned process error, waiting for retry, wait for A to be killed --
this very likely takes a while and cannot finish before request 1 gets
processed again
* new walredo process B starts.
* request 1 (invalid) being processed again on B and panics B, the whole
request fail.
* request 2 (valid) being processed again on B, and get a poisoned error
again.
```
time ---->
proc A None B None
request 1 ^-----------------^--------------^--------------------^
spawn A for redo fail spawn B for redo fail
request 2 ^--------------------^-------------------------^------------^
use A for redo fail, wait to kill A B for redo fail again
```
In such cases, no matter how we set n_attempts, as long as the retry
count applies to all requests, this sequence is bound to fail both
requests because of how they get sequenced; while we could potentially
make request 2 successful.
There are many solutions to this -- like having a separate walredo
manager for compactions, or define which errors are retryable (i.e.,
broken pipe can be retried, while real walredo error won't be retried),
or having a exclusive big lock over the whole redo process (the current
one is very fine-grained). In this patch, we go with a simple approach:
use different retry attempts for different types of requests.
For gc-compaction, the attempt count is set to 0, so that it never
retries and consequently stops the compaction process -- no more redo
will be issued from gc-compaction. Once the walredo process gets
restarted, the normal read requests will proceed normally.
## Summary of changes
Add redo_attempt for each reconstruct value request to set different
retry policies.

our large oltp benchmark runs very long - we want to remove the duration
of the reindex step.
we don't run concurrent workload anyhow but added "concurrently" only to
have a "prod-like" approach. But if it just doubles the time we report
because it requires two instead of one full table scan we can remove it

We'd like to run benchmarks starting from a steady state. To this end,
do a reconciliation round before proceeding with the benchmark.
This is useful for benchmarks that use tenant dir snapshots since a
non-standard tenant configuration is used to generate the snapshot. The
storage controller is not aware of the non default tenant configuration
and will reconcile while the bench is running.
I like to run nightly clippy every so often to make our future rust
upgrades easier. Some notable changes:
* Prefer `next_back()` over `last()`. Generic iterators will implement
`last()` to run forward through the iterator until the end.
* Prefer `io::Error::other()`.
* Use implicit returns
One case where I haven't dealt with the issues is the now
[more-sensitive "large enum variant"
lint](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/pull/13833). I chose not
to take any decisions around it here, and simply marked them as allow
for now.
## Problem
We wish to improve pageserver batching such that one batch can contain
requests for
pages at different LSNs. The current shape of the code doesn't lend
itself to the change.
## Summary of changes
Refactor the read path such that the fringe gets initialized upfront.
This is where the multi LSN
change will plug in. A couple other small changes fell out of this.
There should be NO behaviour change here. If you smell one, shout!
I recommend reviewing commits individually (intentionally made them as
small as possible).
Related: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10765
## Problem
Now `get_timestamp_of_lsn` returns `404 NotFound` if there is no clog
pages for given LSN, and it's difficult to distinguish from other 404
errors. A separate status code for this error will allow the control
plane to handle this case.
- Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11439
- Corresponding PR in control plane:
https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/pull/27125
## Summary of changes
- Return `412 PreconditionFailed` instead of `404 NotFound` if no
timestamp is fond for given LSN.
I looked briefly through the current error handling code in cloud.git
and the status code change should not affect anything for the existing
code. Change from the corresponding PR also looks fine and should work
with the current PS status code. Additionally, here is OK to merge it
from control plane team:

pagestore_smgr.c had grown pretty large. Split into two parts, such
that the smgr routines that PostgreSQL code calls stays in
pagestore_smgr.c, and all the prefetching logic and other lower-level
routines related to communicating with the pageserver are moved to a
new source file, "communicator.c".
There are plans to replace communicator parts with a new
implementation. See https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10799.
This commit doesn't implement any of the new things yet, but it is
good preparation for it. I'm imagining that the new implementation
will approximately replace the current "communicator.c" code, exposing
roughly the same functions to pagestore_smgr.c.
This commit doesn't change any functionality or behavior, or make any
other changes to the existing code: It just moves existing code
around.
The timeline stopping state is set much earlier than the cancellation
token is fired, so by checking for the stopping state, we can prevent
races with timeline shutdown where we issue a cancellation error but the
cancellation token hasn't been fired yet.
Fix#11427.
## Problem
The current stripe size of 256 MB is a bit large, and can cause load
imbalances across shards. A stripe size of 16 MB appears more reasonable
to avoid hotspots, although we don't see evidence of this in benchmarks.
Resolves https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/25634.
Touches https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/21870.
## Summary of changes
* Change the default stripe size to 16 MB.
* Remove `ShardParameters::DEFAULT_STRIPE_SIZE`, and only use
`pageserver_api::shard::DEFAULT_STRIPE_SIZE`.
* Update a bunch of tests that assumed a certain stripe size.
## Problem
Storcon will not start up if `use_https` is on and there are some
pageservers or safekeepers without https port in the database. Metrics
"how many nodes with https we have in DB" will help us to make sure that
`use_https` may be turned on safely.
- Part of https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/25526
## Summary of changes
- Add `storage_controller_https_pageserver_nodes`,
`storage_controller_safekeeper_nodes` and
`storage_controller_https_safekeeper_nodes` Prometheus metrics.
## Problem
With the recent improvements to L0 compaction responsiveness,
`test_create_snapshot` now ends up generating 10,000 layer files
(compared to 1,000 in previous snapshots). This increases the snapshot
size by 4x, and significantly slows down tests.
## Summary of changes
Increase the target layer size from 128 KB to 256 KB, and the L0
compaction threshold from 1 to 5. This reduces the layer count from
about 10,000 to 1,000.
## Problem
Support of unlogged build in DEBUG_COMPARE_LOCAL.
Neon SMGR treats present of local file as indicator of unlogged
relations.
But it doesn't work in DEBUG_COMPARE_LOCAL mode.
## Summary of changes

while unlogged index build.

## Problem
`tenant_import`, used to import an existing tenant from remote storage
into a storage controller for support and debugging, assumed
`DEFAULT_STRIPE_SIZE` since this can't be recovered from remote storage.
In #11168, we are changing the stripe size, which will break
`tenant_import`.
Resolves#11175.
## Summary of changes
* Add `stripe_size` to the tenant manifest.
* Add `TenantScanRemoteStorageShard::stripe_size` and return from
`tenant_scan_remote` if present.
* Recover the stripe size during`tenant_import`, or fall back to 32768
(the original default stripe size).
* Add tenant manifest compatibility snapshot:
`2025-04-08-pgv17-tenant-manifest-v1.tar.zst`
There are no cross-version concerns here, since unknown fields are
ignored during deserialization where relevant.

## Problem
Currently, the tenant manifest is only uploaded if there are offloaded
timelines. The checks are also a bit loose (e.g. only checks number of
offloaded timelines). We want to start using the manifest for other
things too (e.g. stripe size).
Resolves#11271.
## Summary of changes
This patch ensures that a tenant manifest always exists. The lifecycle
is:
* During preload, fetch the existing manifest, if any.
* During attach, upload a tenant manifest if it differs from the
preloaded one (or does not exist).
* Upload a new manifest as needed, if it differs from the last-known
manifest (ignoring version number).
* On splits, pre-populate the manifest from the parent.
* During Pageserver physical GC, remove old manifests but keep the
latest 2 generations.
This will cause nearly all existing tenants to upload a new tenant
manifest on their first attach after this change. Attaches are
concurrency-limited in the storage controller, so we expect this will be
fine.
Also updates `make_broken` to automatically log at `INFO` level when the
tenant has been cancelled, to avoid spurious error logs during shutdown.
## Problem
If a tenant is cancelled (e.g. due to Pageserver shutdown) during
attach, it is set to `Broken`. This results both in error log spam and
500 responses for clients -- shutdown is supposed to return 503
responses which can be retried.
This becomes more likely to happen with #11328, where we perform tenant
manifest downloads/uploads during attach.
## Summary of changes
Set tenant state to `Stopping` when attach fails and the tenant is
cancelled, downgrading the log messages to INFO. This introduces two
variants of `Stopping` -- with and without a caller barrier -- where the
latter is used to signal attach cancellation.
Before we specified the JWT via `SAFEKEEPER_AUTH_TOKEN`, but env vars
are quite public, both in procfs as well as the unit files. So add a way
to put the auth token into a file directly.

## Summary of changes
The projects used for these tests are now free from unnecessary
extensions. Some changes were made in patches.
Remove useless and often wrong IDENTIFICATION comments. PostgreSQL
sources have them, mostly for historical reasons, but there's no need
for us to copy that style.
Remove unnecessary #includes in header files, putting the #includes
directly in the .c files that need them. The principle is that a header
file should #include other header files if they need definitions from
them, such that each header file can be compiled on its own, but not
other #includes. (There are tools to enforce that, but this was just a
manual clean up of violations that I happened to spot.)

removes friction: https://github.com/neondatabase/docs/pull/404
# Problem
Rejecting `pageserver.toml`s with unknown fields adds friction,
especially when using `pageserver.toml` fields as feature flags that
need to be decommissioned.
See the added paragraphs on `pageserver_api::models::ConfigToml` for
details on what kind of friction it causes.
Also read the corresponding internal docs update linked above to see a
more imperative guide for using `pageserver.toml` flags as feature
flags.
# Solution
## Ignoring unknown fields
Ignoring is the serde default behavior.
So, just remove `serde(deny_unknown_fields)` from all structs in
`pageserver_api::config::ConfigToml`
`pageserver_api::config::TenantConfigToml`.
I went through all the child fields and verified they don't use
`deny_unknown_fields` either, including those shared with
`pageserver_api::models`.
## Warning about unknown fields
We still want to warn about unknown fields to
- be informed about typos in the config template
- be reminded about feature-flag style configs that have been cleaned up
in code but not yet in config templates
We tried `serde_ignore` (cf draft #11319) but it doesn't work with
`serde(flatten)`.
The solution we arrived at is to compare the on-disk TOML with the TOML
that we produce if we serialize the `ConfigToml` again.
Any key specified in the on-disk TOML but not present in the serialized
TOML is flagged as an ignored key.
The mechanism to do it is a tiny recursive decent visitor on the
`toml_edit::DocumentMut`.
# Future Work
Invalid config _values_ in known fields will continue to fail pageserver
startup.
See
- https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/24349
for current worst case impact to deployments & ideas to improve.
# Problem
Current perf tracing fields do not allow answering the question what a
specific Postgres backend was waiting for.
# Background
For Pageserver logs, we set the backend PID as the libpq
`application_name` on the compute side, and funnel that into the a
tracing field for the spans that emit to the global tracing subscriber.
# Solution
Funnel `application_name`, and the other fields that we use in the
logging spans, into the root span for perf tracing.

## Problem
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11140 introduces performance
tracing with OTEL
and a pageserver config which configures the sampling ratio of get page
requests.
Enabling a non-zero sampling ratio on a per region basis is too
aggressive and comes with perf
impact that isn't very well understood yet.
## Summary of changes
Add a `sampling_ratio` tenant level config which overrides the
pageserver level config.
Note that we do not cache the config and load it on every get page
request such that changes propagate
timely.
Note that I've had to remove the `SHARD_SELECTION` span to get this to
work. The tracing library doesn't
expose a neat way to drop a span if one realises it's not needed at
runtime.
Closes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11392
## Problem
IO metrics for secondary locations do not get deregistered when the
timeline is removed.
## Summary of changes
Stash the request context to be used for downloads in
`SecondaryTimelineDetail`. These objects match the lifetime of the
secondary timeline location pretty well.
When the timeline is removed, deregister the metrics too.

Changes in compute can cause errors in tests if another version of
`neon-test-extensions` image is used.
## Summary of changes
Use the same version of `neon-test-extensions` image as `compute` one

## Problem
There are some places in the code where we create `reqwest::Client`
without providing SSL CA certs from `ssl_ca_file`. These will break
after we enable TLS everywhere.

## Summary of changes
- Support `ssl_ca_file` in storage scrubber.
- Add `use_https_safekeeper_api` option to safekeeper to use https for
peer requests.
- Propagate SSL CA certs to storage_controller/client, storcon's
ComputeHook, PeerClient and maybe_forward.
Previously we attempted to download all extensions in CREATE EXTENSION
statements. Extensions like pg_stat_statements and neon are not remote
extensions, but still we were requesting them when
skip_pg_catalog_updates was set to false.

Adds a test `test_storcon_create_delete_sk_down` which tests the
reconciler and pending op persistence if faced with a temporary
safekeeper downtime during timeline creation or deletion. This is in
contrast to `test_explicit_timeline_creation_storcon`, which tests the
happy path.
We also do some fixes:
* timeline and tenant deletion http requests didn't expect a body, but
`()` sent one.
* we got the tenant deletion http request's return type wrong: it's
supposed to be a hash map
* we add some logging to improve observability
* We fix `list_pending_ops` which had broken code meant to make it
possible to restrict oneself to a single pageserver. But diesel doesn't
support that sadly, or at least I couldn't figure out a way to make it
work. We don't need that functionality, so remove it.
* We add an info span to the heartbeater futures with the node id, so
that there is no context-free msgs like "Backoff: waiting 1.1 seconds
before processing with the task" in the storcon logs. we could also add
the full base url of the node but don't do it as most other log lines
contain that information already, and if we do duplication it should at
least not be verbose. One can always find out the base url from the node
id.

Part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11318
It's not 100% safe for now to run gc-compaction over the sparse
keyspace. It might cause deleted file to re-appear if a specific
sequence of operations are done as in the issue, which in reality
doesn't happen due to how we split delta/image layers based on the key
range.
A long-term fix would be either having a separate gc-compaction code
path for metadata keys (as how we have a different code path for
metadata image layer generation), or let the compaction process aware of
the information of "there's an image layer that doesn't contain a key"
so that we can skip the keys.
## Summary of changes
* gc-compaction auto trigger only triggers compaction over the normal
data range.
* do not hold gc_block_guard across the full compaction job, only hold
it during each subcompaction.

The leadership transfer protocol between storage controller instances is
as follows, listing the steps for the new pod:
The new pod does these things:
1. new pod comes online. looks in database if there is a leader. if
there is, it asks that leader to step down.
2. the new pod does some operations to come online. they should be
fairly short timed, but it's not zero.
3. the new pod updates the leader entry in the database.
The old pod, once it gets the step down request, changes its internal
state to stepped down. It treats all incoming requests specially now:
instead of processing, it wants to forward them to the new pod. The
forwarding however only works if the new pod is online already, so
before forwarding it reads from the db for a leader (also to get the
address to forward to in the first place).
If the new pod is not online yet, i.e. during step 2 above, the old pod
might legitimately land in the branch which this patch is editing: the
leader in the database is a stepped down instance.
Before, we've returned a `ApiError::InternalServerError`, but that would
print the full backtrace plus an error log. With this patch, we cut down
on the noise, as it's an expected situation to have a short storcon
downtime while we are cutting over to the new instance. A
`ResourceUnavailable` error is not just more fitting, it also doesn't
print a backtrace once encountered, and only prints on the INFO log
level (see `api_error_handler` function).

## Problem
We want to export performance traces from the pageserver in OTEL format.
End goal is to see them in Grafana.
## Summary of changes
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11139 introduces the
infrastructure required to run the otel collector alongside the
pageserver.
### Design
Requirements:
1. We'd like to avoid implementing our own performance tracing stack if
possible and use the `tracing` crate if possible.
2. Ideally, we'd like zero overhead of a sampling rate of zero and be a
be able to change the tracing config for a tenant on the fly.
3. We should leave the current span hierarchy intact. This includes
adding perf traces without modifying existing tracing.
To satisfy (3) (and (2) in part) a separate span hierarchy is used.
`RequestContext` gains an optional `perf_span` member
that's only set when the request was chosen by sampling. All perf span
related methods added to `RequestContext` are no-ops for requests that
are not sampled.
This on its own is not enough for (3), so performance spans use a
separate tracing subscriber. The `tracing` crate doesn't have great
support for this, so there's a fair amount of boilerplate to override
the subscriber at all points of the perf span lifecycle.
### Perf Impact
[Periodic
pagebench](https://neonprod.grafana.net/d/ddqtbfykfqfi8d/e904990?orgId=1&from=2025-02-08T14:15:59.362Z&to=2025-03-10T14:15:59.362Z&timezone=utc)
shows no statistically significant regression with a sample ratio of 0.
There's an annotation on the dashboard on 2025-03-06.
### Overview of changes:
1. Clean up the `RequestContext` API a bit. Namely, get rid of the
`RequestContext::extend` API and use the builder instead.
2. Add pageserver level configs for tracing: sampling ratio, otel
endpoint, etc.
3. Introduce some perf span tracking utilities and expose them via
`RequestContext`. We add a `tracing::Span` wrapper to be used for perf
spans and a `tracing::Instrumented` equivalent for it. See doc comments
for reason.
4. Set up OTEL tracing infra according to configuration. A separate
runtime is used for the collector.
5. Add perf traces to the read path.

## Problem
There are some cases where traditional gc might collect some layer files
causing gc-compaction cannot read the full history of the key. This
needs to be resolved in the long-term by improving the compaction
process. For now, let's simply avoid such errors triggering the circuit
breaker.
## Summary of changes
* Move the place where we trigger the circuit breaker. We only trigger
it during compactions other than L0 compactions. We added the trigger a
year ago due to file cleanup concerns in image layer compaction.
* For gc-compaction, only return errors to the upper
compaction_iteration if it's a shutdown error. Otherwise, just log it
and skip the compaction for a key range.

## Problem
Previously, if the observed state was refreshed and matching the intent,
we wouldn't send

pageserver _and_ a compute notification for it was delivered.
See
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11291#issuecomment-2743205411
for one such example.
## Summary of changes
Add a reproducer and notify the compute if the correct observed state
required a refresh.
Closes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11291
## Problem
We had a problem with https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11413
having e2e tests failing, because an e2e test
(8d271bed47)
depended on an unreleased pageserver fix
(0ee5bfa2fc).
This came up because neon release CI runs against the most recent
releases of the other components, but cloud e2e tests run against
latest, which is tagged from main.
## Summary of changes
Add an additional `released` tag for released versions.
## Alternative to consider
We could (and maybe should) instead switch to `latest` being used for
released versions and `main` being used where we use `latest` right now.
That'd also mean we don't have to adjust the CI in the cloud repo.
## Problem
Exporting `file_cache_used` which specifies the number of used chunks in
the LFC. This helps calculate LFC utilization as: `file_cache_used_pages
/ (file_cache_used * file_cache_chunk_size_pages)`
## Summary of changes
Exporting `file_cache_used`.

We keep the practice of keeping the compiler up to date, pointing to the
latest release. This is done by many other projects in the Rust
ecosystem as well.
[Announcement blog
post](https://blog.rust-lang.org/2025/04/03/Rust-1.86.0.html).
Prior update was in #10914.
## Problem
Since
0f367cb665
the timeout in `with_client_retries` is implemented via `tokio::timeout`
instead of `reqwest::ClientBuilder::timeout` (because we reuse the
client). It changed the error representation if the timeout is exceeded.
Such errors were suppressed in `allowed_errors.py`, but old regexps do
not match the new error.
Discussion:
https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C033RQ5SPDH/p1743533184736319
## Summary of changes
- Add new `Timeout` error to `allowed_errors.py`
I've encountered this error in #11422. Ideally we'd have the URL as well
to associate it with a tenant, but at this level we only have the remote
addr I guess. Better than nothing.
## Problem
The test_pageserver_gc_compaction_smoke fails rather often due to a
timeout on slow machines.
See https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11355.
## Summary of changes
Increase the timeout for the test.
## Problem
We've seen quite a few CI failures related to pushes to docker hub
failing with weird error messages that indicate maybe docker hub is just
not reliable.
## Summary of changes
Retry container image pushing up to 10 times, and send a slack message
if we had to retry, regardless of the job succeeding or not.
## Problem
Pagebench creates a bunch of tenants by first creating a template tenant
and copying its remote storage, then attaching the copies to the
Pageserver.
These tenants had custom configurations to disable GC and compaction.
However, these configs were only picked up by the Pageserver on attach,
and not registered with the storage controller. This caused the storage
controller to replace the tenant configs with the default tenant config,
re-enabling GC and compaction which interferes with benchmark
performance.
Resolves#11381.
## Summary of changes
Register the copied tenants with the storage controller, instead of
directly attaching them to the Pageserver.
Right now we start safekeeper node ids at 0. However, other code treats
0 as invalid (see #11407). We decided on latter. Therefore, make the
register python tests register safekeepers starting at node id 1 instead
of 0, and forbid safekeepers with id 0 from registering.

## Problem
In #11122, we changed the autosplit behavior to allow repeated and
initial splits. The defaults were set such that they retain the current
production settings (8 shards at 64 GB). However, these defaults don't
really make sense by themselves.
Once we deploy new settings to production, we should change the defaults
to something more reasonable.
## Summary of changes
Changes the following default settings:
* `max_split_shards`: 8 → 16
* `initial_split_threshold`: 64 GB → disabled
* `initial_split_shards`: 8 → 2
## Problem
Hotfix releases mean that sometimes changes in release PRs haven't been
tested and linted yet. Disabling tests and lints is therefore not
necessarily safe. In the future we will check whether tests have run on
the same git tree already to speed things up, but for now we need to
turn tests back on fully. This partially reverts:
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11272
## Summary of changes
Run checks on `.*-rc-pr` runs.
## Problem
Tenants in attachment state `Stale` can't upload layers, and don't run
compaction, but still do periodic L0 layer flushes in the tenant
housekeeping loop. If the tenant remains stuck in stale mode, this
causes a large buildup of L0 layers, causing logging, metrics increases,
and possibly alerts.
Resolves#11245.
## Summary of changes
Don't perform periodic layer flushes in stale attachment state.
## Problem
Sometimes the forced extension upgrade test fails (on schedule) due to a
timeout.
## Summary of changes
The timeout is increased to 60 mins.
## Problem
In Neon DBaaS we adjust the shared_buffers to the size of the compute,
or better described we adjust the max number of connections to the
compute size and we adjust the shared_buffers size to the number of max
connections according to about the following sizes
`2 CU: 225mb; 4 CU: 450mb; 8 CU: 900mb`
[see](877e33b428/goapp/controlplane/internal/pkg/compute/computespec/pg_settings.go (L405))
## Summary of changes
We should run perf unit tests with settings that is realistic for a
paying customer and select 8 CU as the reference for those tests.
## Problem
Followup to https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10913
Existing chaos injection just does simple cutovers to secondary
locations. Let's also exercise code for doing graceful migrations. This

## Problem
ref https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11279
Imagine we have a branch with 3 snapshots A, B, and C:
```
base---+---+---+---main
\-A \-B \-C
base=100G, base-A=1G, A-B=1G, B-C=1G, C-main=1G
```
at this point, the synthetic size should be 100+1+1+1+1=104G.
after the deletion, the structure looks like:
```
base---+---+---+
\-A \-B \-C
```
If we simply assume main never exists, the size will be calculated as
size(A) + size(B) + size(C)=300GB, which obviously is not what the user
would expect.
The correct way to do this is to assume part of main still exists, that
is to say, set C-main=1G:
```
base---+---+---+main
\-A \-B \-C
```
And we will get the correct synthetic size of 100G+1+1+1=103G.
## Summary of changes

## Problem
See https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C04DGM6SMTM/p1741594233757489
Consider the following scenario:
1. Backend A wants to prefetch some block B
2. Backend A checks that block B is not present in shared buffer
3. Backend A registers new prefetch request and calls
prefetch_do_request
4. prefetch_do_request calls neon_get_request_lsns
5. neon_get_request_lsns obtains LwLSN for block B
6. Backend B downloads B, updates and wallogs it (let say to Lsn1)
7. Block B is once again thrown from shared buffers, its LwLSN is set to
Lsn1
8. Backend A obtains current flush LSN, let's say that it is Lsn1
9. Backend A stores Lsn1 as effective_lsn in prefetch slot.
10. Backend A reads page B with LwLSN=Lsn1
11. Backend A finds in prefetch ring response for prefetch request for
block B with effective_lsn=Lsn1, so that it satisfies
neon_prefetch_response_usable condition
12. Backend A uses deteriorated version of the page!
## Summary of changes
Use `not_modified_since` as `effective_lsn`.
It should not cause some degrade of performance because we store LwLSN
when it was not found in LwLSN hash, so if page is not changed till
prefetch response is arrived, then LwLSN should not be changed.

This PR contains a bunch of smaller followups and fixes of the original
PR #11058. most of these implement suggestions from Arseny:
* remove `Queryable, Selectable` from `TimelinePersistence`: they are
not needed.
* no `Arc` around `CancellationToken`: it itself is an arc wrapper
* only schedule deletes instead of scheduling excludes and deletes
* persist and delete deletion ops
* delete rows in timelines table upon tenant and timeline deletion
* set `deleted_at` for timelines we are deleting before we start any
reconciles: this flag will help us later to recognize half-executed
deletions, or when we crashed before we could remove the timeline row
but after we removed the last pending op (handling these situations are
left for later).
Part of #9011
Add an optional `safekeepers` field to `TimelineInfo` which is returned
by the storcon upon timeline creation if the
`--timelines-onto-safekeepers` flag is enabled. It contains the list of
safekeepers chosen.
Other contexts where we return `TimelineInfo` do not contain the
`safekeepers` field, sadly I couldn't make this more type safe like done
in Rust via `TimelineCreateResponseStorcon`, as there is no way of
flattening or inheritance (and I don't that duplicating the entire type
for some minor type safety improvements is worth it).
The storcon side has been done in #11058.

## Problem
`CompactFlags::NoYield` was a bit inconvenient, since every caller
except for the background compaction loop should generally set it (e.g.
HTTP API calls, tests, etc). It was also inconsistent with
`CompactionOutcome::YieldForL0`.
## Summary of changes
Invert `CompactFlags::NoYield` as `CompactFlags::YieldForL0`. There
should be no behavioral changes.
## Problem
For computes running inside NeonVM, the actual compute image tag is
buried inside the NeonVM spec, and we cannot get it as part of standard
k8s container metrics (it's always an image and a tag of the NeonVM
runner container). The workaround we currently use is to extract the
running computes info from the control plane database with SQL. It has
several drawbacks: i) it's complicated, separate DB per region; ii) it's
slow; iii) it's still an indirect source of info, i.e. k8s state could
be different from what the control plane expects.
## Summary of changes
Add a new `compute_ctl_up` gauge metric with `build_tag` and `status`
labels. It will help us to both overview what are the tags/versions of
all running computes; and to break them down by current status (`empty`,
`running`, `failed`, etc.)
Later, we could introduce low cardinality (no endpoint or compute ids)
streaming aggregates for such metrics, so they will be blazingly fast
and usable for monitoring the fleet-wide state.

Previously we had different meanings for the bitmask of vector IOps.
That has now been unified to "bit set = final result, no more
scribbling".
Furthermore, the LFC read path scribbled on pages that were already
read; that's probably not a good thing so that's been fixed too. In
passing, the read path of LFC has been updated to read only the
requested pages into the provided buffers, thus reducing the IO size of
vectorized IOs.

In sqlstate, we have a manual `phf` construction, which is not
explicitly guaranteed to be stable - you're intended to use a build.rs

inherited from tokio-postgres upstream, which has the same issue
(https://github.com/rust-phf/rust-phf/pull/321#issuecomment-2724521193).
We don't need this encoding of sqlstate, so I've switched it to simply
parse 5 bytes

## Problem
Previously, L0 flushes would wait for uploads, as a simple form of
backpressure. However, this prevented flush pipelining and upload
parallelism. It has since been disabled by default and replaced by L0
compaction backpressure.
Touches https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/24664.
## Summary of changes
This patch removes L0 flush upload waits, along with the
`l0_flush_wait_upload`. This can't be merged until the setting has been
removed across the fleet.
## Problem
`github.sha` contains a merge commit of `head` and `base` if we're in a
PR. In release PRs, this makes no sense, because we fast-forward the
`base` branch to contain the changes from `head`.
Even though we correctly use `${{ github.event.pull_request.head.sha ||
github.sha }}` to reference the git commit when building artifacts, we
don't use that when checking out code, because we want to test the merge
of head and base usually. In the case of release PRs, we definitely
always want to test on the head sha though, because we're going to
forward that, and it already has the base sha as a parent, so the merge
would end up with the same tree anyway.
As a side effect, not checking out `${{
github.event.pull_request.head.sha || github.sha }}` also caused
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/actions/runs/13986389780/job/39173256184#step:6:49
to say `release-tag=release-compute-8187`, while
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/actions/runs/14084613121/job/39445314780#step:6:48
is talking about `build-tag=release-compute-8186`
## Summary of changes
Run a few things on `github.event.pull_request.head.sha`, if we're in a
release PR.
## Problem
Occasionally getting data from GH cache could be slow, with less than

```
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/actions/runs/13956437454/job/39068664599#step:7:17
Resulting in getting cache even longer that build time.
## Summary of changes
Switch to the caches, that are closer to the runners, and they provided
stable throughput about 70-80MB/s
## Problem
Some useful debugging tools are missing from the compute image and
sometimes it's impossible to install them because memory is tightly

To help with narrowing down
https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/26362, we make the case
more noisy where we are wait for the shutdown of a specific task (in the
case of that issue, the `gc_loop`).
…ng (#11308)"
This reverts commit e5aef3747c.
The logic of this commit was incorrect:
enabling audit requires a restart of the compute,
because audit extensions use shared_preload_libraries.
So it cannot be done in the configuration phase,
require endpoint restart instead.
## Problem
While working on bulk import, I want to use the `control-plane-url` flag
for a different request.
Currently, the local compute hook is used whenever no control plane is
specified in the config.
My test requires local compute notifications and a configured
`control-plane-url` which isn't supported.
## Summary of changes
Add a `use-local-compute-notifications` flag. When this is set, we use
the local flow regardless of other config values.
It's enabled by default in neon_local and disabled by default in all
other envs. I had to turn the flag off in tests
that wish to bypass the local flow, but that's expected.

## Problem
Currently, we only split tenants into 8 shards once, at the 64 GB split
threshold. For very large tenants, we need to keep splitting to avoid
huge shards. And we also want to eagerly split at a lower threshold to
improve throughput during initial ingestion.
See
https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/22532#issuecomment-2706215907
for details.
Touches https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/22532.
Requires #11157.
## Summary of changes
This adds parameters and logic to enable repeated splits when a tenant's
largest timeline divided by shard count exceeds `split_threshold`, as
well as eager initial splits at a lower threshold to speed up initial
ingestion. The default parameters are all set such that they retain the
current behavior in production (only split into 8 shards once, at 64
GB).
* `split_threshold` now specifies a maximum shard size. When a shard
exceeds it, all tenant shards are split by powers of 2 such that all
tenant shards fall below `split_threshold`. Disabled by default, like
today.
* Add `max_split_shards` to specify a max shard count for autosplits.
Defaults to 8 to retain current behavior.
* Add `initial_split_threshold` and `initial_split_shards` to specify a
threshold and target count for eager splits of unsharded tenants.
Defaults to 64 GB and 8 shards to retain current production behavior.
Because this PR sets `initial_split_threshold` to 64 GB by default, it
has the effect of enabling autosplits by default. This was not the case
previously, since `split_threshold` defaults to None, but it is already
enabled across production and staging. This is temporary until we
complete the production rollout.
For more details, see code comments.
This must wait until #11157 has been deployed to Pageservers.
Once this has been deployed to production, we plan to change the
parameters to:
* `split-threshold`: 256 GB
* `initial-split-threshold`: 16 GB
* `initial-split-shards`: 4
* `max-split-shards`: 16
The final split points will thus be:
* Start: 1 shard
* 16 GB: 4 shards
* 1 TB: 8 shards
* 2 TB: 16 shards
We will then change the default settings to be disabled by default.

that s3 object is the most convenient at the moment.

If `s3_prefix` was provided to `fast_import` call, any job run puts a
status object file into `{s3_prefix}/status/fast_import` with contents
`{"done": true}` or `{"done": false, "error": "..."}`. Added a test as
well
## Problem

The problem is that this function is using `PQgetCopyData(shard->conn,

And input buffer may contain only part of message so result is not
fetched.

`PQgetCopyData(shard->conn, &resp_buff.data, 0)` to read whole message
in this case.

If a tenant gets deleted, delete also all of its timelines. We assume
that by the time a tenant is being deleted, no new timelines are being
created, so we don't need to worry about races with creation in this
situation.
Unlike #11233, which was very simple because it listed the timelines and
invoked timeline deletion, this PR obtains a list of safekeepers to
invoke the tenant deletion on, and then invokes tenant deletion on each
safekeeper that has one or multiple timelines.

We're seeing timeline creation failures that look suspiciously like some
race with the cleanup-deletion of initdb temporary directories. I
couldn't spot the bug, but we can make it a bit easier to debug.

## Summary of changes
- Avoid surfacing distracting ENOENT failure to delete as a log error --
this is fine, and can happen if timeline is cancelled while doing
initdb, or if initdb itself has an error where it doesn't write the dir
(this error is surfaced separately)
- Log after purging initdb temp directories
The only difference between
- `pageserver_api::models::TenantConfig` and
- `pageserver::tenant::config::TenantConfOpt`
at this point is that `TenantConfOpt` serializes with
`skip_serializing_if = Option::is_none`.
That is an efficiency improvement for all the places that currently
serde `models::TenantConfig` because new serializations will no longer
write `$fieldname: null` for each field that is `None` at runtime.
This should be particularly beneficial for Storcon, which stores
JSON-serialized `models::TenantConfig` in its DB.
# Behavior Changes
This PR changes the serialization behavior: we omit `None` fields
instead of serializing `$fieldname: null`).
So it's a data format change (see section on compatibility below).
And it changes API responses from Storcon and Pageserver.
## API Response Compatibility
Storcon returns the location description.
Afaik it is passed through into
- storcon_cli output
- storcon UI in console admin UI
These outputs will no longer contain `$fieldname: null` values,
which de-bloats the output (good).
But in storcon UI, it also serves as an editor "default", which
will be eliminated after a storcon with this PR is released.
## Data Format Compatibility
Backwards compat: new software reading old serialized data will
deserialize to the same runtime value because all the field types
are exactly the same and `skip_serializing_if` does not affect
deserialization.
Forward compat: old software reading data serialized by new software
will map absence fields in the serialized form to runtime value
`Option::None`. This is serde default behavior, see this playground
to convince yourself:
https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2024&gist=f7f4e1a169959a3085b6158c022a05eb
The `serde(with="humantime_serde")` however behaves strangely:
if used on an `Option<Duration>`, it still requires the field to be
present,
unlike the serde default behavior shown in the previous paragraph.
The workaround is to set `serde(default)`.
Previously it was set on each individual field, but, we do have the
container attribute, so, set it there.
This requires deriving a `Default` impl, which, because all fields are
`Option`,
is non-magic.
See my notes here:
https://gist.github.com/problame/eddbc225a5d12617e9f2c6413e0cf799
# Future Work
We should have separate types (& crates) for
- runtime types configuration (e.g. PageServerConf::tenant_config,
AttachedLocationConf)
- `config-v1` file pageserver local disk file format
- `mgmt API`
- `pageserver.toml`
Right now they all use the same, which is convenient but makes it hard
to reason about compatibility breakage.

## Problem
#11061 changed how artifacts for releases are built, by
reusing/retagging the artifacts from release PRs. This resulted in the
BUILD_TAG that's baked into the images to not be as expected.
Context: https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C08JBTT3R1Q/p1742333300129069

https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10993#issuecomment-2690428336
I added infinite retries for buffered writer flush IOs, primarily to
gracefully handle ENOSPC but more generally so that the buffered writer
is not left in a state where reads from the surrounding InMemoryLayer
cause panics.
However, I didn't add cancellation sensitivity, which is concerning
because then there is no way to detach a timeline/tenant that is
encountering the write IO errors.
That’s a legitimate scenario in the case of some edge case bug.
See the #10993 description for details.
This PR
- first makes flush loop infallible, enabled by infinite retries
- then adds sensitivity to `Timeline::cancel` to the flush loop, thereby
making it fallible in one specific way again
- finally fixes the InMemoryLayer/EphemeralFile/BufferedWriter
amalgamate to remain read-available after flush loop is cancelled.
The support for read-availability after cancellation is necessary so
that reads from the InMemoryLayer that are already queued up behind the
RwLock that wraps the BufferedWriter won't panic because of the
`mutable=None` that we leave behind in case the flush loop gets
cancelled.
# Alternatives
One might think that we can only ship the change for read-availability
if flush encounters an error, without the infinite retrying and/or
cancellation sensitivity complexity.
The problem with that is that read-availability sounds good but is
really quite useless, because we cannot ingest new WAL without a
writable InMemoryLayer. Thus, very soon after we transition to read-only
mode, reads from compute are going to wait anyway, but on `wait_lsn`
instead of the RwLock, because ingest isn't progressing.
Thus, having the infinite flush retries still makes more sense because
they're just "slowness" to the user, whereas wait_lsn is hard errors.
## Problem
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11210 migrated pushing images
to ghcr. Unfortunately, it was incomplete in using images from ghcr,
which resulted in a few places referencing the ghcr build-tools image,
while trying to use docker hub credentials.
## Summary of changes
Use build-tools image from ghcr consistently.
## Problem
The pipelines after release merges are slower than they need to be at
the moment. This is because some kinds of tests/checks run on all kinds
of pipelines, even though they only matter in some of those.
## Summary of changes
Run `check-codestyle-{rust,python,jsonnet}`, `build-and-test-locally`
and `trigger-e2e-tests` only on regular PRs, not release PR or pushes to
main or release branches.
Both crates seem well maintained. x509-cert is part of the high quality
RustCrypto project that we already make heavy use of, and I think it
makes sense to reduce the dependencies where possible.
## Problem
Docker Hub has new rate limits coming up, and to avoid problems coming
with those we're switching to GHCR.
## Summary of changes
- Push images to GHCR initially and distribute them from there
- Use images from GHCR in docker-compose
There is no functional change here. We move safekeeper related code from
`service.rs` to `service/safekeeper_service.rs`, so that safekeeper
related stuff is contained in a single file. This also helps with
preventing `service.rs` from growing even further.
Part of #9011.
## Problem
The test is flaky because of the same reasons as described in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11177.
The test has already suppressed these `WARN` and `ERROR` log messages,
but the regexp didn't match all possible errors.
## Summary of changes
- Change regexp to suppress all possible allowed error log messages.
PRs #10891 and #10902 have time-bounded the safekeeper heartbeating of
the storage controller. Those timeouts were not meant to be permanent,
but temporary until we figured out the reasons for the safekeeper
heartbeating causing problems.
Now they are better understood and resolved. A comment is
[here](https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/24396#issuecomment-2679342929),
but most importantly, we've had:
* #10954 to send heartbeats concurrently (before the issue was we sent
them sequentially, so the total time time was number of nodes times time
for timeout to be hit, now the total time is the maximum of all things
we are heartbeating)
* work to actually make heartbeats work and not error, i.e. JWT rollout
for storcon, not sending heartbeats to decomissioned safekeepers,
removal of decomissioned safekeepers from the databases
Part of https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/25473
## Problem
Unlogged build is used for GIST/SPGIST/GIN/HNSW indexes.
In this mode we first change relation class to `RELPERSISTENCE_UNLOGGED`
and save them on local disk.
But we do not save unlogged relations in LFC.
It may cause fetching incorrect value from LFC if relfilenode is reused.
## Summary of changes
Save modified pages in LFC on second stage of unlogged build (when
modified pages are walloged).
There is no need to save pages in LFC at first phase because the will be
in any case overwritten with assigned LSN at second phase.

Adds a basic test that makes the storcon issue explicit creation of a
timeline on safeekepers (main storcon PR in #11058). It was adapted from
`test_explicit_timeline_creation` from #11002.
Also, do a bunch of fixes needed to get the test work (the API
definitions weren't correct), and log more stuff when we can't create a
new timeline due to no safekeepers being active.

- Add `/configure_telemetry` API endpoint
- Support second rsyslog configuration for Postgres logs export
- Enable logs export when compute feature is enabled and configure
Postgres to send logs to syslog
I have used `/configure_telemetry` name because in the future I see it
also being used for configuring a `pg_tracing` extension to export
traces. Let me know if you'd rather have these APIs separate. In this
case we can rename it to `/configure_rsyslog`.
## Problem
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/actions/runs/13894288475/job/38871819190
shows the "Add fast-fordward label to PR to trigger fast-forward merge"
job being skipped. This is due to not using the right variable for
checking which branch the merge queue is merging into.
## Summary of changes
Use the `branch` output of the `meta` task for checking the target
branch of a merge group.
## Problem
In unlogged index build (used fir GIST/SPGIST/GIN indexes) files is
created on disk and then removed at the end.
It contradicts to the logic of DEBUG_COMPARE_LOCAL mode.
## Summary of changes
Do not create and unlink files in unlogged build in DEBUG_COMPARE_LOCAL
mode.

## Problem
In the previous PR #11045, one edge-case wasn't covered, when an ident
contains only one `$`, we were picking `$$` as a 'wrapper'. Yet, when
this `$` is at the beginning or at the end of the ident, then we end up
with `$$$` in a row which breaks the escaping.
## Summary of changes
Start from `x` tag instead of a blank string.

if it collides, it's not a big deal -- just two RFCs have been started
on the same day.

... to better match the workload characteristics of real Neon customers
## Problem
We analyzed workloads of large Neon users and want to extend the oltp
workload to include characteristics seen in those workloads.
## Summary of changes
- for re-use branch delete inserted rows from last run
- adjust expected run-time (time-outs) in GitHub workflow
- add queries that exposes the prefetch getpages path
- add I/U/D transactions for another table (so far the workload was
insert/append-only)
- add an explicit vacuum analyze step and measure its time
- add reindex concurrently step and measure its time (and take care that
this step succeeds even if prior reindex runs have failed or were
canceled)
- create a second connection string for the pooled connection that
removes the `-pooler` suffix from the hostname because we want to run
long-running statements (database maintenance) and bypass the pooler
which doesn't support unlimited statement timeout
## Test run

## Problem
There is a rare race between controller graceful deployment and shard
splitting where we may incorrectly both abort _and_ complete the split
(on different pods), and thereby leave no shards at all in the database.
Related: #11254
## Summary of changes
- In complete_shard_split, refuse to delete anything if child shards are
not found
## Problem
Python's `jsonnet` 0.20.0 doesn't support Python 3.13, so we have a
couple of tests xfailed because of that.
## Summary of changes
- Bump `jsonnet` to `0.21.0rc2` which supports Python 3.13
- Unxfail `test_sql_exporter_metrics_e2e` and
`test_sql_exporter_metrics_smoke` on Python 3.13
- add pgaudt_gc thread to compute_ctl
to cleanup old pgaudit logs if they exist.
pgaudit can rotate files, but it doesn't delete the old files
- Add AUDIT_LOG_DIR_SIZE metric to compute_ctl
to track the size of the audit log directory in bytes.
- Fix permissions for rsyslog state files directory
## Problem
We exposed the direction tag in #10925 but didn't actually include the
ingress tag in the export to allow for an adaption period.
## Summary of changes
We now export the ingress direction
# Refs
- fixes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11228
# Problem High-Level
When storcon validates whether a `ScheduleOptimizationAction` should be
applied, it retrieves the `tenant_secondary_status` to determine whether
a secondary is ready for the optimization.
When collecting results, it associates secondary statuses with the wrong
optimization actions in the batch of optimizations that we're
validating.
The result is that we make the decision for shard/location X based on
the SecondaryStatus of a random secondary location Y in the current
batch of optimizations.
A possible symptom is an early cutover, as seen in this engineering
investigation here:
- https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/25734
# Problem Code-Level
This code here in `optimize_all_validate`
97e2e27f68/storage_controller/src/service.rs (L7012-L7029)
zips the `want_secondary_status` with the Vec returned from
`tenant_for_shards_api` .
However, the Vec returned from `want_secondary_status` is not ordered
(it uses FuturesUnordered internally).
# Solution
Sort the Vec in input order before returning it.
`optimize_all_validate` was the only caller affected by this problem
While at it, also future-proof similar-looking function
`tenant_for_shards`.
None of its callers care about the order, but this type of function
signature is easy to use incorrectly.
# Future Work
Avoid the additional iteration, map, and allocation.
Change API to leverage AsyncFn (async closure).
And/or invert `tenant_for_shards_api` into a Future ext trait / iterator
adaptor thing.
Adds API definitions for the safekeeper API endpoints `exclude_timeline`
and `term_bump`. Also does a bugfix to return the correct type from
`delete_timeline`.
Part of #8614
## Problem
This is already disabled in production, as it is replaced by L0 flush
delays. It will be removed in a later PR, once the config option is no
longer specified in production.
## Summary of changes
Disable `l0_flush_wait_upload` by default.
## Problem
`test_metadata_image_creation ` became flaky with #11212, since image
compaction may yield to L0 compaction.
## Summary of changes
Set `NoYield` when compacting in tenant tests.
## Problem
We noticed that error metrics didn't show for some services with light
load. This is not great and can cause problems for dashboards/alerts
## Summary of changes
Pre-initialise some metricvecs.
We want to switch away from and deprecate the `--compute-hook-url` param
for the storcon in favour of `--control-plane-url` because it allows us
to construct urls with `notify-safekeepers`.
This PR switches the pytests and neon_local from a
`control_plane_compute_hook_api` to a new param named
`control_plane_hooks_api` which is supposed to point to the parent of
the `notify-attach` URL.
We still support reading the old url from disk to not be too disruptive
with existing deployments, but we just ignore it.
Also add docs for the `notify-safekeepers` upcall API.

## Problem
`l0_flush_delay_threshold` has already been set to 30 in production for
a couple of weeks. Let's harmonize the default.
## Summary of changes
Update `DEFAULT_L0_FLUSH_DELAY_FACTOR` to 3 such that the default
`l0_flush_delay_threshold` is `3 * compaction_threshold`.
This differs from the production setting, which is hardcoded to 30 (with
`compaction_threshold` at 10), and is more appropriate for any tenants
that have custom `compaction_threshold` overrides.
## Problem
ef0d4a48a adjusted how we build container images and how we push them,
and the neon-test-extensions image was overlooked. Additionally, is was
also missed in 1f0dea9a1, which pushed our container images to GHCR.
## Summary of changes
Push neon-test-extensions to GHCR and also push release tags for it.
## Problem

# Problem
We leave too few observability breadcrumbs in the case where wait_lsn is
exceptionally slow.
# Changes
- refactor: extract the monitoring logic out of `log_slow` into
`monitor_slow_future`
- add global + per-timeline counter for time spent waiting for wait_lsn
- It is updated while we're still waiting, similar to what we do for
page_service response flush.
- add per-timeline counterpair for started & finished wait_lsn count
- add slow-logging to leave breadcrumbs in logs, not just metrics
For the slow-logging, we need to consider not flooding the logs during a
broker or network outage/blip.
The solution is a "log-streak-level" concurrency limit per timeline.
At any given time, there is at most one slow wait_lsn that is logging
the "still running" and "completed" sequence of logs.
Other concurrent slow wait_lsn's don't log at all.
This leaves at least one breadcrumb in each timeline's logs if some
wait_lsn was exceptionally slow during a given period.
The full degree of slowness can then be determined by looking at the
per-timeline metric.
# Performance
Reran the `bench_log_slow` benchmark, no difference, so, existing call
sites are fine.
We do use a Semaphore, but only try_acquire it _after_ things have
already been determined to be slow. So, no baseline overhead
anticipated.

Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/22998
If control-plane reports that TLS should be used, load the certificates
(and watch for updates), make sure postgres use them, and detects
updates.
Procedure:
1. Load certificates
2. Reconfigure postgres/pgbouncer
3. Loop on a timer until certificates have loaded
4. Go to 1
Notes:
1. We only run this procedure if requested on startup by control plane.
2. We needed to compile pgbouncer with openssl enabled
3. Postgres doesn't allow tls keys to be globally accessible - must be
read only to the postgres user. I couldn't convince the autoscaling team
to let me put this logic into the VM settings, so instead compute_ctl
will copy the keys to be read-only by postgres.
4. To mitigate a race condition, we also verify that the key matches the
cert.
## Problem
There was a panic on staging that compaction didn't find any keys. This
is possible if all layers selected for compaction does not contain any
keys within the current shard.
## Summary of changes
Make panic an error. In the future, we can try creating an empty image
layer so that GC can clean up those layers. Otherwise, for now, we can
only rely on shard ancestor compaction to remove these data.

## Problem
`compaction_l0_first` has already been enabled in production for a
couple of weeks.
## Summary of changes
Enable `compaction_l0_first` by default.
Also set `CompactFlags::NoYield` in `timeline_checkpoint_handler`, to
ensure explicitly requested compaction runs to completion. This endpoint
is mainly used in tests, and caused some flakiness where tests expected
compaction to complete.
## Problem
#11061 introduced code fetching previous releases. #11151 introduced jq
error handling, which has also been applied in #11061, but parenthesis
have been missed.
## Summary of changes
Add parenthesis around error handling code.
## Problem
Autosplits always request `DEFAULT_STRIPE_SIZE` for splits. However,
splits do not allow changing the stripe size of already-sharded tenants,
and will error out if it differs.
In #11168, we are changing the stripe size, which could hit this when
attempting to autosplit already sharded tenants.
Touches #11168.
## Summary of changes
Pass `new_stripe_size: None` when autosplitting already sharded tenants.
Otherwise, pass `DEFAULT_STRIPE_SIZE` instead of the shard identity's
stripe size, since we want to use the current default rather than an
old, persisted default.
# Fix metric_unit length in test_compute_ctl_api.py
## Description
This PR changes the metric_unit from "microseconds" to "μs" in
test_compute_ctl_api.py to fix the issue where perf test results were
not being stored in the database due to the string exceeding the 10
character limit of the metric_unit column in the perf_test_results
table.
## Problem
As reported in Slack, the perf test results were not being uploaded to
the database because the "microseconds" string (12 characters) exceeds
the 10 character limit of the metric_unit column in the
perf_test_results table.
## Solution
Replace "microseconds" with "μs" in all metric_unit parameters in the
test_compute_ctl_api.py file.
## Testing
The changes have been committed and pushed. The PR is ready for review.

## Problem
A small adjustment in #11061 broke the lint-release-pr.sh script, and
the new version was neither tested nor linted. This has been done now,
the script is once again tested and passing `shellcheck`.
## Summary of changes
Add missing `el` of `elif` condition chain.
## Problem
#11061 changed release pr creation, and I missed that the workflow will
checkout a would-be-merge of the rc branch and the release branch
instead of the head ref, unless explicitly instructed otherwise.
## Summary of changes
Check out head ref for linting the release PRs.
## Problem
#11061 changed release pr creation, and I missed that creating PRs using
`gh` in non-interactive environments *requires* `--body` instead of
defaulting to an empty body.
## Summary of changes
Explicitly set an empty body when creating release PRs.
## Problem
#11061 changed release PR creation, and I missed that we need to
explicitly fetch the whole history so that the relevant git refs and
objects are available.
## Summary of changes

checked it out locally

## Summary of changes
This patch adds a new behavior for the detach_ancestor API: detach with
multi-level ancestor and no reparenting. Though we can potentially
support multi-level + do reparenting / single-level + no-reparenting in
the future, as it's not required for the recovery/snapshot epic, I'd
prefer keeping things simple now that we only handle the old one and the
new one instead of supporting the full feature matrix.
I only added a test case of successful detaching instead of testing
failures. I'd like to make this into staging and add more tests in the
future.

## Problem
When we release our components, we perform builds in the release PR,
then test the components, then merge the PR, and then build everything
*again*, run tests *again*, and only then start deployments.
To speed things up, we want to perform builds and run tests in the PR,
and start deployments using the existing artifacts from the release PR.
To make that possible, we need to have both CI pipelines running on the
same commit hash, which requires fast forwarding release. That only
works, if we have a commit in the PR that has the current release branch
state as an ancestor.
## Summary of changes
- Changes to release PR creation:
- Remove templates and automatic bodies for release PRs. The previous
template wasn't used anymore, and the automatic body we created in the
pipeline didn't contain any useful content anymore after the changees
here.
- Make it possible to select the source branch. For releases that aren't
cut from `main`, like https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11051,
we need a way to trigger the new flow from a different branch.
- Determine `release-branch` automatically from the component name
instead of passing that as well.
- Changes to the merge queue job:
- Rename `get-changed-files` to `meta` in preparation of additional data
being fetched as part of that job
- Fail the merge queue if we're trying to merge into a branch other than
main - this is to prevent non-fast-forward merges.
- Label PRs to branches other than main as `fast-forward`, to trigger
the fast-forward job
- Add a fast-forward job that can be triggered with the `fast-forward`
label that performs a fast-forward merge. This only happens if the PR
has `mergeable_state == clean`, so CI having passed.
- Build and Test on releases now skips building images, skips testing
images and skips triggering e2e tests. We add new tags to the images
from the release PR to tag them as release images, and we push them to
the prod registries.
In our json encoding, we only need to know about array types.
Information about composites or enums are not actually used.
Enums are quite popular, needing to type query them when not needed can
add some latency cost for no gain.
## Problem
When a node becomes active, we query its locations and update the
observed state in-place.
This can race with the observed state updates done when processing
reconcile results.
## Summary of changes
The argument for this reconciliation step is that is reduces the need
for background reconciliations.
I don't think is actually true anymore. There's two cases.
1. Restart of node after drain. Usually the node does not go through the
offline state here, so observed locations
were not marked as none. In any case, there should be a handful of
shards max on the node since we've just drained it.
2. Node comes back online after failure or network partition. When the
node is marked offline, we reschedule everything away from it. When it
later becomes active, the previous observed location is extraneous and
requires a reconciliation anyway.
Closes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11148
## Problem
When the storage controller and Pageserver loads tenants from persisted
storage, it uses `ShardIdentity::unsharded()` for unsharded tenants.
However, this replaces the persisted stripe size of unsharded tenants
with the default stripe size.
This doesn't really matter for practical purposes, since the stripe size
is meaningless for unsharded tenants anyway, but can cause consistency
check failures if the persisted stripe size differs from the default.
This was seen in #11168, where we change the default stripe size.
Touches #11168.
## Summary of changes
Carry over the persisted stripe size from `TenantShardPersistence` for
unsharded tenants, and from `LocationConf` on Pageservers.
Also add bounds checks for type casts when loading persisted shard
metadata.
## Problem
`info_span!` is only used in a `linux` branch, causing the unused lint
to fire on macOS.
## Summary of changes
Fully qualify the `info_span!` use.
## Problem
`humantime` is unmaintained, we want to migrate to `jiff`, see
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11179.
`env_logger` in older versions depend on `humantime`, and newer versions
depend on `jiff`, so we need to update it.
## Summary of changes
Update `env_logger` to the most recent release, which does not depend on
`humantime` anymore.
## Problem
This command was used when onboarding tenants to the storage controller.
We no longer do that, so the command can go.
## Summary of changes
- Remove `storcon_cli tenant-warmup` command
## Problem
Test `test_timeline_archive` is flaky because it makes requests that are
intended to fail. It sometimes leads to warning in pageserver's logs.

## Summary of changes
- Suppress such errors.
We want to export performance traces from the pageserver in OTEL format.
End goal is to see them in Grafana.
To this end, there are two changes here:
1. Update the `tracing-utils` crate to allow for explicitly specifying
the export configuration. Pageserver configuration is loaded from a file
on start-up. This allows us to use the same flow for export configs
there.
2. Update the `utils::logging::init` common entry point to set up OTEL
tracing infrastructure if requested. Note that an entirely different
tracing subscriber is used. This is to avoid interference with the
existing tracing set-up. For now, no service uses this functionality.
PR to plug this into the pageserver is
[here](https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11140).

## Problem
This field was retained for backward compat only in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10707.
Once https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/pull/25233 is released,
nothing external will be reading this field.
Internally, this was a mandatory field so storage controller is still
trying to decode it, so we must do this removal in two steps: this PR
makes the field optional, and after one release we can fully remove it.
Related: https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/24250
## Summary of changes
- Rename field to `_unused`
- Remove field from swagger
- Make field optional
The upgrade to 8.0.0 caused severe performance regressions in the
start_postgres_ms metric, which measures the time it takes from execing
Postgres to the time Postgres marks itself as ready in the
postmaster.pid file. We use the notify crate to watch for changes in the
pgdata directory and the postmaster.pid file.

# Problem
If the Pageserver ingest path
(InMemoryLayer=>EphemeralFile=>BufferedWriter)
encounters ENOSPC or any other write IO error when flushing the mutable
buffer
of the BufferedWriter, the buffered writer is left in a state where
subsequent _reads_
from the InMemoryLayer it will cause a `must not use after we returned
an error` panic.
The reason is that
1. the flush background task bails on flush failure,
2. causing the `FlushHandle::flush` function to fail at channel.recv()
and
3. causing the `FlushHandle::flush` function to bail with the flush
error,
4. leaving its caller `BufferedWriter::flush` with
`BufferedWriter::mutable = None`,
5. once the InMemoryLayer's RwLock::write guard is dropped, subsequent
reads can enter,
6. those reads find `mutable = None` and cause the panic.
# Context
It has always been the contract that writes against the BufferedWriter
API
must not be retried because the writer/stream-style/append-only
interface makes no atomicity guarantees ("On error, did nothing or a
piece of the buffer get appended?").
The idea was that the error would bubble up to upper layers that can
throw away the buffered writer and create a new one. (See our [internal
error handling policy document on how to handle e.g.
`ENOSPC`](c870a50bc0/src/storage/handling_io_and_logical_errors.md (L36-L43))).
That _might_ be true for delta/image layer writers, I haven't checked.
But it's certainly not true for the ingest path: there are no provisions
to throw away an InMemoryLayer that encountered a write error an
reingest the WAL already written to it.
Adding such higher-level retries would involve either resetting
last_record_lsn to a lower value and restarting walreceiver. The code
isn't flexible enough to do that, and such complexity likely isn't worth
it given that write errors are rare.
# Solution
The solution in this PR is to retry _any_ failing write operation
_indefinitely_ inside the buffered writer flush task, except of course
those that are fatal as per `maybe_fatal_err`.
Retrying indefinitely ensures that `BufferedWriter::mutable` is never
left `None` in the case of IO errors, thereby solving the problem
described above.
It's a clear improvement over the status quo.
However, while we're retrying, we build up backpressure because the
`flush` is only double-buffered, not infinitely buffered.
Backpressure here is generally good to avoid resource exhaustion, **but
blocks reads** and hence stalls GetPage requests because InMemoryLayer
reads and writes are mutually exclusive.
That's orthogonal to the problem that is solved here, though.
## Caveats
Note that there are some remaining conditions in the flush background
task where it can bail with an error. I have annotated one of them with
a TODO comment.
Hence the `FlushHandle::flush` is still fallible and hence the overall
scenario of leaving `mutable = None` on the bail path is still possible.
We can clean that up in a later commit.
Note also that retrying indefinitely is great for temporary errors like
ENOSPC but likely undesirable in case the `std::io::Error` we get is
really due to higher-level logic bugs.
For example, we could fail to flush because the timeline or tenant
directory got deleted and VirtualFile's reopen fails with ENOENT.
Note finally that cancellation is not respected while we're retrying.
This means we will block timeline/tenant/pageserver shutdown.
The reason is that the existing cancellation story for the buffered
writer background task was to recv from flush op channel until the
sending side (FlushHandle) is explicitly shut down or dropped.
Failing to handle cancellation carries the operational risk that even if
a single timeline gets stuck because of a logic bug such as the one laid
out above, we must still restart the whole pageserver process.
# Alternatives Considered
As pointed out in the `Context` section, throwing away a InMemoryLayer
that encountered an error and reingesting the WAL is a lot of complexity
that IMO isn't justified for such an edge case.
Also, it's wasteful.
I think it's a local optimum.
A more general and simpler solution for ENOSPC is to `abort()` the
process and run eviction on startup before bringing up the rest of
pageserver.
I argued for it in the past, the pro arguments are still valid and
complete:
https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C033RQ5SPDH/p1716896265296329
The trouble at the time was implementing eviction on startup.
However, maybe things are simpler now that we are fully storcon-managed
and all tenants have secondaries.
For example, if pageserver `abort()`s on ENOSPC and then simply don't
respond to storcon heartbeats while we're running eviction on startup,
storcon will fail tenants over to the secondary anyway, giving us all
the time we need to clean up.
The downside is that if there's a systemic space management bug, above
proposal will just propagate the problem to other nodes. But I imagine
that because of the delays involved with filling up disks, the system
might reach a half-stable state, providing operators more time to react.

# Perf Testing
Ran `bench_ingest` on tmpfs, no measurable difference.
Spans are uniquely owned by the flush task, and the span stack isn't too
deep, so, enter and exit should be cheap.
Plus, each flush takes ~150us with direct IO enabled, so, not _that_
high frequency event anyways.

## Summary of changes
Do some refactoring before making walproposer generations aware.
- Rename SS_VOTING to SS_WAIT_VOTING, SS_IDLE to SS_WAIT_ELECTED
- Continue to get rid of epochs: rename GetEpoch to GetLastLogTerm,
donorEpoch to donorLastLogTerm
- Instead of counting n_votes, n_connected, introduce explicit
WalProposerState (collecting terms / voting / elected). Refactor out
TermsCollected and VotesCollected; they will determine state transition
differently depending whether generations are enabled or not.
There is no new logic in this PR and thus no new tests.
## Problem
In #11122, we want to split shards once the logical size of the largest
timeline exceeds a split threshold. However, `get_top_tenants` currently
only returns `max_logical_size`, which tracks the max _total_ logical
size of a timeline across all shards.
This is problematic, because the storage controller needs to fetch a
list of N tenants that are eligible for splits, but the API doesn't
currently have a way to express this. For example, with a split
threshold of 1 GB, a tenant with `max_logical_size` of 4 GB is eligible
to split if it has 1 or 2 shards, but not if it already has 4 shards. We
need to express this in per-shard terms, otherwise the `get_top_tenants`
endpoint may end up only returning tenants that can't be split, blocking
splits entirely.
Touches https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11122.
Touches https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/22532.
## Summary of changes
Add `TenantShardItem::max_logical_size_per_shard` containing

Fixes https://github.com/neondatabase/serverless/issues/144
When tables have enums, we need to perform type queries for that data.
We cache these query statements for performance reasons. In Neon RLS, we
run "discard all" for security reasons, which discards all the
statements. When we need to type check again, the statements are no
longer valid.
This fixes it to discard the statements as well.
I've also added some new logs and error types to monitor this. Currently
we don't see the prepared statement errors in our logs.
# Refs

# Problem
`VirtualFile` currently parses the path it is opened with to identify
the `tenant,shard,timeline` labels to be used for the `STORAGE_IO_SIZE`
metric.
Further, for each read or write call to VirtualFile, it uses
`with_label_values` to retrieve the correct metrics object, which under
the hood is a global hashmap guarded by a parking_lot mutex.
We perform tens of thousands of reads and writes per second on every
pageserver instance; thus, doing the mutex lock + hashmap lookup is
wasteful.
# Changes
Apply the technique we use for all other timeline-scoped metrics to
avoid the repeat `with_label_values`: add it to `TimelineMetrics`.
Wrap `TimelineMetrics` into an `Arc`.
Propagate the `Arc<TimelineMetrics>` down do `VirtualFile`, and use
`Timeline::metrics::storage_io_size`.
To avoid contention on the `Arc<TimelineMetrics>`'s refcount atomics
between different connection handlers for the same timeline, we wrap it
into another Arc.
To avoid frequent allocations, we store that Arc<Arc<TimelineMetrics>>
inside the per-connection timeline cache.
Preliminary refactorings to enable this change:
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11001
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11030
# Performance
I ran the benchmarks in
`test_runner/performance/pageserver/pagebench/test_pageserver_max_throughput_getpage_at_latest_lsn.py`
on an `i3en.3xlarge` because that's what we currently run them on.
None of the benchmarks shows a meaningful difference in latency or
throughput or CPU utilization.
I would have expected some improvement in the
many-tenants-one-client-each workload because they all hit that hashmap
constantly, and clone the same `UintCounter` / `Arc` inside of it.
But apparently the overhead is miniscule compared to the remaining work
we do per getpage.
Yet, since the changes are already made, the added complexity is
manageable, and the perf overhead of `with_label_values` demonstrable in
micro-benchmarks, let's have this change anyway.
Also, propagating TimelineMetrics through RequestContext might come in
handy down the line.
The micro-benchmark that demonstrates perf impact of
`with_label_values`, along with other pitfalls and mitigation techniques
around the `metrics`/`prometheus` crate:
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11019
# Alternative Designs
An earlier iteration of this PR stored an `Arc<Arc<Timeline>>` inside
`RequestContext`.
The problem is that this risks reference cycles if the RequestContext
gets stored in an object that is owned directly or indirectly by
`Timeline`.
Ideally, we wouldn't be using this mess of Arc's at all and propagate
Rust references instead.
But tokio requires tasks to be `'static`, and so, we wouldn't be able to
propagate references across task boundaries, which is incompatible with
any sort of fan-out code we already have (e.g. concurrent IO) or future
code (parallel compaction).
So, opt for Arc for now.
We use the `metrics` / `prometheus` crate in the Pageserver code base.
This PR demonstrates
- typical performance pitfalls with that crate
- our current set of techniques to avoid most of these pitfalls.

## Problem
The current migration API does a live migration, but if the destination
doesn't already have a secondary, that live migration is unlikely to be
able to warm up a tenant properly within its timeout (full warmup of a
big tenant can take tens of minutes).
Background optimisation code knows how to do this gracefully by creating
a secondary first, but we don't currently give a human a way to trigger
that.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10540
## Summary of changes
- Add `prefererred_node` parameter to TenantShard, which is respected by
optimize_attachment
- Modify migration API to have optional prewarm=true mode, in which we
set preferred_node and call optimize_attachment, rather than directly
modifying intentstate
- Require override_scheduler=true flag if migrating somewhere that is a
less-than-optimal scheduling location (e.g. wrong AZ)
- Add `origin_node_id` to migration API so that callers can ensure
they're moving from where they think they're moving from
- Add tests for the above
The storcon_cli wrapper for this has a 'watch' mode that waits for
eventual cutover. This doesn't show the warmth of the secondary evolve
because we don't currently have an API for that in the controller, as
the passthrough API only targets attached locations, not secondaries. It
would be straightforward to add later as a dedicated endpoint for
getting secondary status, then extend the storcon_cli to consume that
and print a nice progress indicator.
## Problem
Shard zero needs to track the start LSN of the latest record
in adition to the LSN of the next record to ingest. The former
is included in basebackup persisted by the compute in WAL.
Previously, empty records were skipped for all shards. This caused
the prev LSN tracking on the PS to fall behind and led to logical
replication
issues.
## Summary of changes
Shard zero now receives emtpy interpreted records for LSN tracking
purposes.
A test is included too.

## Summary of changes

`resident_size`, for consistency (debatable).
* Split out `get_top_tenant_shards()` to fetch split candidates.
* Fetch candidates concurrently from all nodes.

reference.

In f37eeb56, I properly escaped the identifier, but I haven't noticed
that the resulting string is used in the `format('...')`, so it needs
additional escaping. Yet, after looking at it closer and with Heikki's
and Tristan's help, it appeared to be that it's a full can of worms and
we have problems all over the code in places where we use PL/pgSQL
blocks.
## Summary of changes
Add a new `pg_quote_dollar()` helper to deal with it, as dollar-quoting
of strings seems to be the only robust way to escape strings in dynamic
PL/pgSQL blocks. We mimic the Postgres' `pg_get_functiondef` logic here
[1].
While on it, I added more tests and caught a couple of more bugs with
string escaping:
1. `get_existing_dbs_async()` was wrapping `owner` in additional
double-quotes if it contained special characters
2. `construct_superuser_query()` was flawed in even more ways than the
rest of the code. It wasn't realistic to fix it quickly, but after
thinking about it more, I realized that we could drop most of it
altogether. IIUC, it was added as some sort of migration, probably back
when we haven't had migrations yet. So all the complicated code was
needed to properly update existing roles and DBs. In the current Neon,
this code only runs before we create the very first DB and role. When we
create roles and DBs, all `neon_superuser` grants are added in the
different places. So the worst thing that could happen is that there is
an ancient branch somewhere, so when users poke it, they will realize
that not all Neon features work as expected. Yet, the fix is simple and
self-serve -- just create a new role via UI or API, and it will get a
proper `neon_superuser` grant.

TL;DR in Postgres, it's totally normal to have 'invalid' DBs (state
after the interrupted `DROP DATABASE`). Yet, some of our metrics
collected with `sql_exporter` try to get the size of such invalid DBs.

## Problem
On unarchival, we update the previous heatmap with all visible layers.
When the primary generates a new heatmap it includes all those layers,
so the secondary will download them. Since they're not actually resident
on the primary (we didn't call the warm up API), they'll never be
evicted,
so they remain in the heatmap.
We want these layers in the heatmap, since we might wish to warm-up an
unarchived timeline after a shard migration. However, we don't want them
to be downloaded on the secondary until we've warmed up the primary.
## Summary of Changes
Include these layers in the heatmap and mark them as cold. All heatmap
operations act on non-cold layers apart from the attached location
warming up API,
which will download the cold layers. Once the cold layers are downloaded
on the primary,
they'll be included in the next heatmap as hot and the secondary starts
fetching them too.

This PR adds a new key to neon.neon_lfc_stats —
'file_cache_chunk_size_pages'. It just returns the value of
BLOCKS_PER_CHUNK from the LFC implementation.
The new value should (eventually) allow changing the chunk size without
breaking any places that rely on LFC stats values measured in number of
chunks.
See neondatabase/cloud#25170 for more.
## Problem
Our benchmarking workflows contain links to grafana dashboards to
troubleshoot problems.
This works fine for non-pooled endpoints.
For pooled endpoints we need to remove the `-pooler` suffix from the
endpoint's hostname to get a valid endpoint ID.
Example link that doesn't work in this run

## Summary of changes
Check if connection string is a -pooler connection string and if so
remove this suffix from the endpoint ID.

## Problem
If an image fails to push to dev registries, we shouldn't trigger the
deploy job, because that depends on images existing in dev registries.
To ensure this is the case, the deploy job needs to depend on pushing to
dev registries.
## Summary of changes
Make `deploy` depend on `push-neon-image-dev` and
`push-compute-image-dev`.
## Problem
`test_check_visibility_map` is the slowest test in CI, and can cause
timeouts under particularly slow configurations (`debug` and
`without-lfc`).
## Summary of changes
* Reduce the `pgbench` scale factor from 10 to 8.
* Omit a redundant vacuum during `pgbench` init.
* Remove a final `vacuum freeze` + `pg_check_visible` pass, which has
questionable value (we've already done a vacuum freeze previously, and
we don't flush the compute cache before checking anyway).
## Problem
On unarchival, we update the previous heatmap with all visible layers.
When the primary generates a new heatmap it includes all those layers,
so the secondary will download them. Since they're not actually resident
on the primary (we didn't call the warm up API), they'll never be
evicted, so they remain in the heatmap.
This leads to oversized secondary locations like we saw in pre-prod.
## Summary of changes
Gate the loading of the previous heatmaps and the heatmap generation on
unarchival behind configuration
flags. They are disabled by default, but enabled in tests.
## Problem

Do not drop tablesync replication slots on the publisher,
when we're in the process of dropping subscriptions inherited by a neon
branch.
Because these slots are still needed by the parent branch subscriptions.
For regular slots we handle this by setting the slot_name to NONE
before calling DROP SUBSCRIPTION, but tablesync slots are not exposed to
SQL.
rely on GUC disable_logical_replication_subscribers=true
to know that we're in the Neon-specific process of dropping
subscriptions.
## Problem
We don't have any logging for Sentry initialization. This makes it hard
to verify that it has been configured correctly.
## Summary of changes
Log some basic info when Sentry has been initialized, but omit the
public key (which allows submitting events). Also log when `SENTRY_DSN`
isn't specified at all, and when it fails to initialize (which is
supposed to panic, but we may as well).
## Problem
Grafana Loki's JSON handling is somewhat limited and the log message
should be structured in a way that it's easy to sift through logs and
filter.
## Summary of changes
* Drop span_id. It's too short lived to be of value and only bloats the
logs.
* Use the span's name as the object key, but append a unique numeric
value to prevent name collisions.
* Extract interesting span fields into a separate object at the root.

## Problem
Our benchmarking workflow has a job step `bench`which runs all tests in
test_runner/performance/* except those that we want to run separately.
We recently added two test cases to that testcase directory that we want
to run separately but forgot to ignore them during the bench step. This
is now causing
[failures](https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/actions/runs/13667689340/job/38212087331#step:7:392).

## Problem
Periodic pagebench workflow runs periodically from latest main commit
and also allows to dispatch it manually for a given commit hash to

However in the dashboards we can not distinguish manual runs from

My observation is that with the current value of settings, x86-v1
usually takes 30s, arm-v1 1m30s, x86-v2 1m, arm-v2 3m. But sometimes the
system could run too slow and cause test to timeout on arm with reldir
v2.
While I investigate what's going on and further improve the performance,
I'd like to set both of them to use the same test input, so that it
doesn't timeout and we don't abuse this test case as a performance test.
## Summary of changes
Use the same settings for both test cases.

## Problem
The code to generate symbolized pprof heap profiles and flamegraph SVGs
has been upstreamed to the `jemalloc_pprof` crate:
* https://github.com/polarsignals/rust-jemalloc-pprof/pull/22
* https://github.com/polarsignals/rust-jemalloc-pprof/pull/23
## Summary of changes
Use `jemalloc_pprof` to generate symbolized pprof heap profiles and
flamegraph SVGs.
This reintroduces a bunch of internal jemalloc stack frames that we'd
previously strip, e.g. each stack now always ends with
`prof_backtrace_impl` (where jemalloc takes a stack trace for heap
profiling), but that seems ok.
## Problem
Incoming requests often take the service lock, and sometimes even do
database transactions. That creates a risk that a rogue client can
starve the controller of the ability to do its primary job of
reconciling tenants to an available state.
## Summary of changes
* Use the `governor` crate to rate limit tenant requests at 10 requests
per second. This is ~10-100x lower than the worst "attack" we've seen
from a client bug. Admin APIs are not rate limited.
* Add a `storage_controller_http_request_rate_limited` histogram for
rate limited requests.
* Log a warning every 10 seconds for rate limited tenants.
The rate limiter is parametrized on TenantId, because the kinds of
client bug we're protecting against generally happen within tenant
scope, and the rates should be somewhat stable: we expect the global
rate of requests to increase as we do more work, but we do not expect
the rate of requests to one tenant to increase.

The interpreted reader tracks a record aligned current position in the
WAL stream.
Partial reads move the stream internally, but not from the pov of the
interpreted WAL reader.
Hence, where new shards subscribe with a start position that matches the
reader's current position,
but we've also done some partial reads. This confuses the gap tracking.
To make it more robust,
update the current batch start to the min between the new start position
and its current value.
Since no record has been decoded yet (position matches), we can't have
lost it
## Problem
When a build is made with sanitizers, this is not reflected in the
artifact name, which can lead to overriding normal builds with sanitized
ones.
## Summary of changes
Take this property of a build into account when constructing the
artifact name.
## 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.

## Problem
If a caller times out on safekeeper timeline deletion on a large
timeline, and waits a while before retrying, the deletion will not
progress while the retry is waiting. The net effect is very very slow
deletion as it only proceeds in 30 second bursts across 5 minute idle
periods.
Related: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10265
## Summary of changes
- Run remote deletion in a background task
- Carry a watch::Receiver on the Timeline for other callers to join the
wait
- Restart deletion if the API is called again and the previous attempt
failed
## Problem
We want to support larger tenants (regarding logical database size,
number of transactions per second etc.) and should increase our test
coverage of OLTP transactions at larger scale.
## Summary of changes
Start a new benchmark that over time will add more OLTP tests at larger
scale.
This PR covers the first version and will be extended in further PRs.
Also fix some infrastructure:
- default for new connections and large tenants is to use connection
pooler pgbouncer, however our fixture always added
`statement_timeout=120` which is not compatible with pooler
[see](https://neon.tech/docs/connect/connection-errors#unsupported-startup-parameter)
- action to create branch timed out after 10 seconds and 10 retries but
for large tenants it can take longer so use increasing back-off for
retries

test checking this. Also add missing infra: `--safekeepers-generation`

## Problem
We have not synced `force-test-extensions-upgrade.yml` with the last
changes.
The variable `TEST_EXTENSIONS_UPGRADE` was ignored in the script and
actually set to `NEW_COMPUTE_TAG` while it should be set to
`OLD_COMPUTE_TAG` as we are about to run compatibility tests.
## Summary of changes
The tag names were synced, the logic was fixed.
To speed up compute startup. Resizing swap in particular takes about 100
ms on my laptop. By performing it in parallel with downloading the
basebackup, that latency is effectively hidden. I would imagine that
downloading remote extensions can also take a non-trivial amount of
time, although I didn't try to measure that. In any case that's now also
performed in parallel with downloading the basebackup.
Move most of the code to compute.rs, so that all the major startup steps
are visible in one place. You can now get a pretty good picture of what
happens in the latency-critical path at compute startup by reading
ComputeNode::start_compute().
This also clarifies the error handling in start_compute. Previously, the
start_postgres function sometimes returned an Err, and sometimes Ok but
with the compute status already set to Failed. Now the start_compute
function always returns Err on failure, and it's the caller's
responsibility to change the compute status to Failed. Separately from
that, it returns a handle to the Postgres process via a `&mut` reference
if it had already started Postgres (i.e. on success, or if the failure
happens after launching the Postgres process).

## Problem
In multi-character keys, the GIN index creates a CRC Hash of the first 3
bytes of the key.
The hash can have the first bit to be set or unset, needing to have a
consistent representation
of `char` across architectures for consistent results. GIN stores these
keys by their hashes
which determines the order in which the keys are obtained from the GIN
index.
By default, chars are signed in x86 and unsigned in arm, leading to
inconsistent behavior across different platform architectures. Adding
the `-fsigned-char` flag to the GCC compiler forces chars to be treated
as signed across platforms, ensuring the ordering in which the keys are
obtained consistent.
## Summary of changes
Added `-fsigned-char` to the `CFLAGS` to force GCC to use signed chars
across platforms.
Added a test to check this across platforms.
Fixes: https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/23199

## Problem
`wait_for_active_tenant()`, used when starting background tasks, has a
race condition that can cause it to wait forever (until cancelled). It
first checks the current tenant state, and then subscribes for state
updates, but if the state changes between these then it won't be
notified about it.
We've seen this wedge compaction tasks, which can cause unbounded layer
file buildup and read amplification.
## Summary of changes
Use `watch::Receiver::wait_for()` to check both the current and new
tenant states.

For TLS between proxy and compute, we are using an internally
provisioned CA to sign the compute certificates. This change ensures
that proxy will load them from a supplied env var pointing to the
correct file - this file and env var will be configured later, using a
kubernetes secret.
Control plane responds with a `server_name` field if and only if the
compute uses TLS. This server name is the name we use to validate the
certificate. Control plane still sends us the IP to connect to as well
(to support overlay IP).
To support this change, I'd had to split `host` and `host_addr` into
separate fields. Using `host_addr` and bypassing `lookup_addr` if
possible (which is what happens in production). `host` then is only used
for the TLS connection.
There's no blocker to merging this. The code paths will not be triggered
until the new control plane is deployed and the `enableTLS` compute flag
is enabled on a project.
## Problem
This `critical!` could fire on IO errors, which is just noisy.

corruption or a bug, but seem worth investigating either way.
# Changes
While working on
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/7202
I found myself needing to cache another expensive Arc::clone inside
inside the timeline::handle::Cache by wrapping it in another Arc.
Before this PR, it seemed like the only expensive thing we were caching
was the
connection handler tasks' clone of `Arc<Timeline>`.
But in fact the GateGuard was another such thing, but it was
special-cased
in the implementation.
So, this refactoring PR de-special-cases the GateGuard.
# Performance
With this PR we are doing strictly _less_ operations per `Cache::get`.
The reason is that we wrap the entire `Types::Timeline` into one Arc.
Before this PR, it was a separate Arc around the Arc<Timeline> and
one around the Arc<GateGuard>.
With this PR, we avoid an allocation per cached item, namely,
the separate Arc around the GateGuard.
This PR does not change the amount of shared mutable state.
So, all in all, it should be a net positive, albeit probably not
noticable
with our small non-NUMA instances and generally high CPU usage per
request.
# Reviewing
To understand the refactoring logistics, look at the changes to the unit
test types first.
Then read the improved module doc comment.
Then the remaining changes.
In the future, we could rename things to be even more generic.
For example, `Types::TenantMgr` could really be a `Types::Resolver`.
And `Types::Timeline` should, to avoid constant confusion in the doc
comment,
be called `Types::Cached` or `Types::Resolved`.
Because the `handle` module, after this PR, really doesn't care that
we're
using it for storing Arc's and GateGuards.
Then again, specicifity is sometimes more useful than being generic.
And writing the module doc comment in a totally generic way would
probably also be more confusing than helpful.
## Problem
CI does not pass for the compute release due to the absence of some
images
## Summary of changes
Now we use the images from the old non-compute releases for non-compute
images
## Problem
We intend for cplane to use the heatmap layer download API to warm up
timelines after unarchival. It's tricky for them to recurse in the
ancestors,
and the current implementation doesn't work well when unarchiving a
chain
of branches and warming them up.
## Summary of changes
* Add a `recurse` flag to the API. When the flag is set, the operation
recurses into the parent
timeline after the current one is done.
* Be resilient to warming up a chain of unarchived branches. Let's say
we unarchived `B` and `C` from
the `A -> B -> C` branch hierarchy. `B` got unarchived first. We
generated the unarchival heatmaps
and stash them in `A` and `B`. When `C` unarchived, it dropped it's
unarchival heatmap since `A` and `B`
already had one. If `C` needed layers from `A` and `B`, it was out of
luck. Now, when choosing whether
to keep an unarchival heatmap we look at its end LSN. If it's more
inclusive than what we currently have,
keep it.
## Problem
Storage controller will proxy GETs to pageserver-like tenant/timeline
paths through to the pageserver.
Usually GET passthroughs make sense to go to shard 0, e.g. if you want
to list timelines.
But sometimes you really want to know about a particular shard, e.g.
reading its cache state or similar.
## Summary of changes
- Accept shard IDs as well as tenant IDs in the passthrough route
- Refactor node lookup to take a shard ID and make the tenant ID case a
layer on top of that. This is one more lock take-drop during these
requests, but it's not particularly expensive and these requests
shouldn't be terribly frequent
This is not immediately used by anything, but will be there any time we
want to e.g. do a pass-through query to check the warmth of a tenant
cache on a particular shard or somesuch.

## Problem
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10841 made building compute
and neon images optional on releases that don't need them. The
`push-<component>-image-prod` jobs had transitive dependencies that were
skipped due to that, causing the images not to be pushed to production
registries.
## Summary of changes
Add `!failure() && !cancelled() &&` to the beginning of the conditions
for these jobs to ensure they run even if some of their transitive
dependencies are skipped.
## Problem
We see `Inmem storage overflow` in page server logs:
https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C033RQ5SPDH/p1740157873114339
walked process is using inseam SMGR with storage size limited by 64
pages with warning watermark 32 (based ion the assumption that
XLR_MAX_BLOCK_ID is 32, so WAL record can not access more than 32
pages).
Actually it is not true. We can update up to 3 forks for each block
(including update of FSM and VM forks).
## Summary of changes
This PR increases inseam SMGR size for walled process to 100 pages and
print stack trace in case of overflow.

## Problem
We created extensions in a single database. The tests could interfere,
i.e., discover some service tables left by other extensions and produce
unexpected results.
## Summary of changes
The tests are now run in a separate timeline, so only one extension owns
the database, which prevents interference.
Before this PR, re-attach and validate would log the same warning
```
calling control plane generation validation API failed
```
on retry errors.
This can be confusing.
This PR makes the message generically valid for any upcall and adds
additional tracing spans to capture context.
Along the way, clean up some copy-pasta variable naming.

## Problem
So far cumulative statistics have not been persisted when Neon scales to
zero (suspends endpoint).
With PR https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/6560 the cumulative
statistics should now survive endpoint restarts and correctly trigger
the auto- vacuum and auto analyze maintenance
So far we did not have a testcase that validates that improvement in our
dev cloud environment with a real project.
## Summary of changes
Introduce testcase `test_cumulative_statistics_persistence`in the
benchmarking workflow running daily to verify:
- Verifies that the cumulative statistics are correctly persisted across
restarts.
- Cumulative statistics are important to persist across restarts because
they are used
- when auto-vacuum an auto-analyze trigger conditions are met.
- The test performs the following steps:
- Seed a new project using pgbench
- insert tuples that by itself are not enough to trigger auto-vacuum
- suspend the endpoint
- resume the endpoint
- insert additional tuples that by itself are not enough to trigger
auto-vacuum but in combination with the previous tuples are
- verify that autovacuum is triggered by the combination of tuples
inserted before and after endpoint suspension

## Problem
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10841 broke CI on PRs that
aren't based on main or a release branch but want to merge into another
PR.
## Summary of changes
Replace `run-kind=pr-main` with `run-kind=pr`, so that all PRs that
aren't release PRs are treated equally.
## Problem
safekeepers must ignore walproposer messages with non matching
membership conf.
## Summary of changes
Make safekeepers reject vote request, proposer elected and append
request messages with non matching generation. Switch to the
configuration in the greeting message if it is higher.
In passing, fix one comment and WAL truncation.

The comment was woefully outdated and outright wrong. It applied a long
time ago (before commit e5cc2f92c4 to be precise), but nowadays the
function just launches postgres and waits until it starts accepting
connections. The other things the comment talked about are done in other
functions.

We lost this with the switch to axum for the HTTP server. Add it back.
In addition to just resurrecting the functionality we had before, pass
the tracing context of the /configure HTTP request to the start_postgres
operation that runs in the main thread. This way, the 'start_postgres'
and all its sub-spans like getting the basebackup become children of the
HTTP request span. This allows end-to-end tracing of a compute start,
all the way from the proxy to the SQL queries executed by compute_ctl as
part of compute startup.
## Problem
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10241 added configuration
switch endpoint, but it didn't delete timeline if node was excluded.
## Summary of changes
Add separate /exclude API endpoint which similarly accepts membership
configuration where sk is supposed by be excluded. Implementation
deletes the timeline locally.
Some more small related tweaks:
- make mconf switch API PUT instead of POST as it is idempotent;
- return 409 if switch was refused instead of 200 with requested &
current;
- remove unused was_active flag from delete response;
- remove meaningless _force suffix from delete functions names;
- reuse timeline.rs delete_dir function in timelines_global_map instead
of its own copy.

## Problem
Release CI is slow, because we're doing unnecessary work, for example
building compute images on storage releases and vice versa.
## Summary of changes
- Extract tag generation into reusable workflow and extend it with
fetching of previous component releases
- Don't build neon images on compute releases and don't build compute
images on proxy and storage releases
- Reuse images from previous releases for tests on branches where we
don't build those images
## Open questions
- We differentiate between `TAG` and `COMPUTE_TAG` in a few places, but
we don't differentiate between storage and proxy releases. Since they
use the same image, this will continue to work, but I'm not sure this is
what we want.

Delete layers that we have hardlinked so far when there is an error in
`remote_copy`. This prevents a retry of the ancestor detach from
stumbling over already present layer files: the hardlink would fail with
an error.
If there is a crash, we already clean up during the timeline attach: we
loop over all layer files and purge all layers that are not referenced
by the `index_part.json`.
Make sure to hold the timeline gate to prevent races with
detach&attach&read from the layer file.
These cleanups aren't completely enough however, as there is code after
`prepare` as well. To handle errors there, we add a special case for
`AlreadyExists` errors during the hardlink, where we check if the layer
is an orphan, and if yes, we delete it from local disk. That is ideally
not the case we hit, as it is less clear in that scenario where the
layer came from, but it provides good defense in depth.

## Problem
`neon endpoint list` shows a different LSN than what the state of the

## Problem
As part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8614 we need to
pass membership configurations between compute and safekeepers.
## Summary of changes
Add version 3 of the protocol carrying membership configurations.
Greeting message in both sides gets full conf, and other messages
generation number only. Use protocol bump to include other accumulated
changes:
- stop packing whole structs on the wire as is;
- make the tag u8 instead of u64;
- send all ints in network order;
- drop proposer_uuid, we can pass it in START_WAL_PUSH and it wasn't
much useful anyway.
Per message changes, apart from mconf:
- ProposerGreeting: tenant / timeline id is sent now as hex cstring.
Remove proto version, it is passed outside in START_WAL_PUSH. Remove
postgres timeline, it is unused. Reorder fields a bit.
- AcceptorGreeting: reorder fields
- VoteResponse: timeline_start_lsn is removed. It can be taken from
first member of term history, and later we won't need it at all when all
timelines will be explicitly created. Vote itself is u8 instead of u64.
- ProposerElected: timeline_start_lsn is removed for the same reasons.
- AppendRequest: epoch_start_lsn removed, it is known from term history
in ProposerElected.
Both compute and sk are able to talk v2 and v3 to make rollbacks (in
case we need them) easier; neon.safekeeper_proto_version GUC sets the
client version. v2 code can be dropped later.
So far empty conf is passed everywhere, future PRs will handle them.
To test, add param to some tests choosing proto version; we want to test
both 2 and 3 until we fully migrate.

## Problem
While looking at logs I noticed that heartbeats are sent sequentially.
The loop polling the UnorderedSet is at the wrong level of identation.

## Summary of Changes

## Problem
We recently added slow GetPage request logging. However, this
unintentionally included the flush time when logging (which we already
have separate logging for). It also logs at WARN level, which is a bit
aggressive since we see this fire quite frequently.
Follows https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10906.
## Summary of changes
* Only log the request execution time, not the flush time.
* Extract a `pagestream_dispatch_batched_message()` helper.
* Rename `warn_slow()` to `log_slow()` and downgrade to INFO.
We've seen some cases in production where a compute doesn't get a
response to a pageserver request for several minutes, or even more. We
haven't found the root cause for that yet, but whatever the reason is,
it seems overly optimistic to think that if the pageserver hasn't
responded for 2 minutes, we'd get a response if we just wait patiently a
little longer. More likely, the pageserver is dead or there's some kind
of a network glitch so that the TCP connection is dead, or at least
stuck for a long time. Either way, it's better to disconnect and
reconnect. I set the default timeout to 2 minutes, which should be
enough for any GetPage request under normal circumstances, even if the
pageserver has to download several layer files from remote storage.
Make the disconnect timeout configurable. Also make the "log interval",
after which we print a message to the log configurable, so that if you
change the disconnect timeout, you can set the log timeout
correspondingly. The default log interval is still 10 s. The new GUCs
are called "neon.pageserver_response_log_timeout" and
"neon.pageserver_response_disconnect_timeout".
Includes a basic test for the log and disconnect timeouts.
Implements issue #10857
## Problem
There's new rate-limits coming on docker hub. To reduce our reliance on
docker hub and the problems the limits are going to cause for us, we
want to prepare for this by also pushing our container images to ghcr.io
## Summary of changes
Push our images to ghcr.io as well and not just docker hub.
WaitEventSetWait() returns the number of "events" that happened, and
only that many events in the WaitEvent array are updated. When the
timeout is reached, it returns 0 and does not modify the WaitEvent array
at all. We were reading 'event.events' without checking the return
value, which would be uninitialized when the timeout was hit.
No test included, as this is harmless at the moment. But this caused the
test I'm including in PR #10882 to fail. That PR changes the logic to
loop back to retry the PQgetCopyData() call if WL_SOCKET_READABLE was
set. Currently, making an extra call to PQconsumeInput() is harmless,
but with that change in logic, it turns into a busy-wait.
For archived timelines, we would like to prevent all non-pageserver
issued getpage requests, as users are not supposed to send these.
Instead, they should unarchive a timeline before issuing any external
read traffic.
As this is non-trivial to do, at least prevent launches of new computes,
by errorring on basebackup requests for archived timelines. In #10688,
we started issuing a warning instead of an error, because an error would
mean a stuck project. Now after we can confirm the the warning is not
present in the logs for about a week, we can issue errors.

this is a pretty core piece of functionality
- Apply a compat version matrix to the graceful cluster restart test,

The synchronous 'postgres' crate is just a wrapper around the async

using the tokio_postgres types directly.
## Problem
After refactoring the configuration code to phases, it became a bit
fuzzy who filters out DBs that are not present in Postgres, are invalid,

absent in Postgres or invalid (interrupted `DROP DATABASE`).

## Problem
Prefetch is performed locally, so different backers can request the same
pages form PS.
Such duplicated request increase load of page server and network
traffic.
Making prefetch global seems to be very difficult and undesirable,
because different queries can access chunks on different speed. Storing
prefetch chunks in LFC will not completely eliminate duplicates, but can
minimise such requests.
The problem with storing prefetch result in LFC is that in this case
page is not protected by share buffer lock.
So we will have to perform extra synchronisation at LFC side.

## Problem
The storage controller treats durations in the tenant config as strings.
These are loaded from the db.
The pageserver maps these durations to a seconds only format and we
always get a mismatch compared
to what's in the db.
## Summary of changes
Treat durations as durations inside the storage controller and not as
strings.
Nothing changes in the cross service API's themselves or the way things
are stored in the db.
I also added some logging which I would have made the investigation a
10min job:
1. Reason for why the reconciliation was spawned
2. Location config diff between the observed and wanted states
## Problem
Now that we rely on the optimisation logic to handle fixing things up
after some tenants are in the wrong AZ (e.g. after node failure), it's
no longer appropriate to treat optimisations as an ultra-low-priority
task. We used to reflect that low priority with a very low limit on
concurrent execution, such that we would only migrate 2 things every 20
seconds.
## Summary of changes
- Increase MAX_OPTIMIZATIONS_EXEC_PER_PASS from 2 to 16
- Increase MAX_OPTIMIZATIONS_PLAN_PER_PASS from 8 to 64.
Since we recently gave user-initiated actions their own semaphore, this
should not risk starving out API requests.
Safekeepers only respond to requests with the per-token scope, or the
`safekeeperdata` JWT scope. Therefore, add infrastructure in the storage
controller for safekeeper JWTs. Also, rename the ambiguous `jwt_token`
to `pageserver_jwt_token`.

Plv8 consists of two parts:
1. the V8 engine, which is built from vendored sources, and
2. the PostgreSQL extension.
Split those into two separate steps in the Dockerfile. The first step
doesn't need any PostgreSQL sources or any other files from the neon
repository, just the build tools and the upstream plv8 sources. Use the
build-deps image as the base for that step, so that the layer can be
cached and doesn't need to be rebuilt every time. This is worthwhile
because the V8 build takes a very long time.

https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10517.

## Problem
We don't have good observability for "stuck" getpage requests.
Resolves https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/23808.
## Summary of changes
Log a periodic warning (every 30 seconds) if GetPage request execution
is slow to complete, to aid in debugging stuck GetPage requests.
This does not cover response flushing (we have separate logging for
that), nor reading the request from the socket and batching it (expected
to be insignificant and not straightforward to handle with the current
protocol).
This costs 95 nanoseconds on the happy path when awaiting a
`tokio::task::yield_now()`:

This is the same as the hotfix #10908 , but for the main branch, to keep
the release and main branches in sync. In particular, we don't want to
accidentally revert this temporary fix, if we cut a new release from
main.
We keep the practice of keeping the compiler up to date, pointing to the
latest release. This is done by many other projects in the Rust
ecosystem as well.
[Announcement blog
post](https://blog.rust-lang.org/2025/02/20/Rust-1.85.0.html).
Prior update was in #10618.
## Problem
The interpreted SK <-> PS protocol does not guard against gaps (neither
does the Vanilla one, but that's beside the point).
## Summary of changes
Extend the protocol to include the start LSN of the PG WAL section from
which the records were interpreted.
Validation is enabled via a config flag on the pageserver and works as
follows:
**Case 1**: `raw_wal_start_lsn` is smaller than the requested LSN
There can't be gaps here, but we check that the shard received records
which it hasn't seen before.
**Case 2**: `raw_wal_start_lsn` is equal to the requested LSN
This is the happy case. No gap and nothing to check
**Case 3**: `raw_wal_start_lsn` is greater than the requested LSN
This is a gap.
To make Case 3 work I had to bend the protocol a bit.
We read record chunks of WAL which aren't record aligned and feed them
to the decoder.
The picture below shows a shard which subscribes at a position somewhere
within Record 2.
We already have a wal reader which is below that position so we wait to
catch up.
We read some wal in Read 1 (all of Record 1 and some of Record 2). The
new shard doesn't
need Record 1 (it has already processed it according to the starting
position), but we read
past it's starting position. When we do Read 2, we decode Record 2 and
ship it off to the shard,
but the starting position of Read 2 is greater than the starting
position the shard requested.
This looks like a gap.
To make it work, we extend the protocol to send an empty
`InterpretedWalRecords` to shards
if the WAL the records originated from ends the requested start
position. On the pageserver,
that just updates the tracking LSNs in memory (no-op really). This gives
us a workaround for
the fake gap.
As a drive by, make `InterpretedWalRecords::next_record_lsn` mandatory
in the application level definition.
It's always included.

- Pageserver doesn't support https for now and always reports
`https_port=None`. This will be addressed in follow-up PR.
ALTER SUBSCRIPTION requires AccessExclusive lock
which conflicts with iteration over pg_subscription when multiple
databases are present
and operations are applied concurrently.
Fix by explicitly locking pg_subscription
in the beginning of the transaction in each database.
## Problem

Fix an issue caused by PR
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10891: we introduced the
concept of timeouts for heartbeats, where we would hang up on the other
side of the oneshot channel if a timeout happened (future gets
cancelled, receiver is dropped).
This hang up would make the heartbeat task panic when it did obtain the
response, as we unwrap the result of the result sending operation. The
panic would lead to the heartbeat task panicing itself, which is then
according to logs the last sign of life we of that process invocation.
I'm not sure what brings down the process, in theory tokio [should
continue](https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/tokio/runtime/enum.UnhandledPanic.html#variant.Ignore),
but idk.
Alternative to #10901.
## Problem
Background heatmap uploads and downloads were blocking the ones done
manually by the test.
## Summary of changes
Disable Background heatmap uploads and downloads for the cold migration
test. The test does
them explicitly.
## Problem
Pinning build tools still replicated the ACR/ECR/Docker Hub login and
pushing, even though we have a reusable workflow for this. Was mentioned
as a TODO in https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10613.
## Summary of changes
Reuse `_push-to-container-registry.yml` for pinning the build-tools
images.
`pprof::symbolize()` used a regex to strip the Rust monomorphization
suffix from generic methods. However, the `backtrace` crate can do this
itself if formatted with the `:#` flag.
Also tighten up the code a bit.
This PR does the following things:
* The initial heartbeat round blocks the storage controller from
becoming online again. If all safekeepers are unresponsive, this can
cause storage controller startup to be very slow. The original intent of
#10583 was that heartbeats don't affect normal functionality of the
storage controller. So add a short timeout to prevent it from impeding
storcon functionality.
* Fix the URL of the utilization endpoint.
* Don't send heartbeats to safekeepers which are decomissioned.

Adds CPU/heap profiling for storcon.
Also fixes allowlists to match on the path only, since profiling
endpoints take query parameters.
Requires #10892 for heap profiling.
## Problem
We'd like to enable CPU/heap profiling for storcon. This requires
jemalloc.
## Summary of changes
Use jemalloc as the global allocator, and enable heap sampling for
profiling.
## Problem
We've seen the previous default of 50 cause OOMs. Compacting many L0
layers at once now has limited benefit, since the cost is mostly linear
anyway. This is already being reduced to 20 in production settings.
## Summary of changes
Reduce `DEFAULT_COMPACTION_UPPER_LIMIT` to 20.
Once released, let's remove the config overrides.
## Problem
Our AWS account IDs are copy-pasted all over the place. A wrong paste
might only be caught late if we hardcode them, but will get flagged
instantly by actionlint if we access them from github actions variables.
Resolves https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10787, follow-up
for https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10613.
## Summary of changes
Access AWS account IDs using Github Actions variables.
## Problem
Autosplits are crucial for bulk ingest performance. However, autosplits
were only attempted when there was no other pending work. This could
cause e.g. mass AZ affinity violations following Pageserver restarts to
starve out autosplits for hours.
Resolves#10762.
## Summary of changes
Always attempt autosplits in the background reconciliation loop,
regardless of other pending work.
## Problem
we measure ingest performance for a few variants (stripe-sizes,
pre-sharded, shard-splitted).
However some phenomena (e.g. related to L0 compaction) in PS can be
better observed and optimized with un-sharded tenants.
## Summary of changes
- Allow to create projects with a policy that disables sharding
(`{"scheduling": "Essential"}`)
- add a variant to ingest_benchmark that uses that policy for the new
project
## Test run
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/actions/runs/13396325970
## Problem
The nightly test discovered problems in the extensions upgrade test.
1. `PLv8` has different versions on PGv17 and PGv16 and a different test
set, which was not implemented correctly
[sample](https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/actions/runs/13382330475/job/37372930271)
2. The same for `semver`
[sample](https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/actions/runs/13382330475/job/37372930017)
3. `pgtap` interfered with the other tests, e.g. tables, created by
other extensions caused the tests to fail.
## Summary of changes
The discovered problems were fixed.
1. The tests list for `PLv8` is now generated using the original
Makefile
2. The patches for `semver` are now split for PGv16 and PGv17.
3. `pgtap` is being tested in a separate database now.

The usual workflow for me to debug read path errors in staging is:
download the tenant to my laptop, import, and then run some read tests.
With this patch, we can do this directly over staging pageservers.

* Add a new `touchpagelsn` API that does a page read but does not return
page info back.
* Allow read from latest record LSN from get/touchpagelsn
* Add read_debug config in the context.

This is logged every 10 seconds for every timeline.
## Summary of changes
Only log when we actually performed any image compaction.
## Problem
If the deploy job on the release branch doesn't succeed, the preprod
deployment will not have happened. It was requested that this triggers a

## Summary of changes
If we're on the release branch and the deploy job doesn't end up in
"success", notify storage oncall on slack.
## Problem
We lack an API for warming up attached locations based on the heatmap
contents.
This is problematic in two places:
1. If we manually migrate and cut over while the secondary is still cold
2. When we re-attach a previously offloaded tenant
## Summary of changes
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10597 made heatmap generation
additive
across migrations, so we won't clobber it a after a cold migration. This
allows us to implement:
1. An endpoint for downloading all missing heatmap layers on the
pageserver:
`/v1/tenant/:tenant_shard_id/timeline/:timeline_id/download_heatmap_layers`.
Only one such operation per timeline is allowed at any given time. The
granularity is tenant shard.
2. An endpoint to the storage controller to trigger the downloads on the
pageserver:
`/v1/tenant/:tenant_shard_id/timeline/:timeline_id/download_heatmap_layers`.
This works both at
tenant and tenant shard level. If an unsharded tenant id is provided,
the operation is started on
all shards, otherwise only the specified shard.
3. A storcon cli command. Again, tenant and tenant-shard level
granularities are supported.
Cplane will call into storcon and trigger the downloads for all shards.
When we want to rescue a migration, we will use storcon cli targeting
the specific tenant shard.

This reverts commit 443c8d0b4b.
## Problem
We observe a massive amount of compaction errors.
## Summary of changes
If the tenant did not write any L1 layers (i.e., they accumulate L0
layers where number of them is below L0 threshold), image creation will
always fail. Therefore, it's not correct to simply use the
disk_consistent_lsn or L0/L1 boundary for the image creation.
Preparations for a successor of #10440:
* move `pull_timeline` to `safekeeper_api` and add it to
`SafekeeperClient`. we want to do `pull_timeline` on any creations that
we couldn't do initially.
* Add a `SafekeeperGeneration` type instead of relying on a type alias.
we want to maintain a safekeeper specific generation number now in the
storcon database. A separate type is important to make it impossible to
mix it up with the tenant's pageserver specific generation number. We
absolutely want to avoid that for correctness reasons. If someone mixes
up a safekeeper and pageserver id (both use the `NodeId` type), that's
bad but there is no wrong generations flying around.

Tests with mixed versions of binaries always pick up new versions if
services are started using `neon_local`.
## Summary of changes
- Set `neon_local_binpath` along with `neon_binpath` and
`pg_distrib_dir` for tests with mixed versions
This replaces the use of the awscli utility. awscli binary is massive,
it added about 200 MB to the docker image size, while the s3 client was
already a dependency so using that is essentially free, as far as binary
size is concerned.
I implemented a simple upload function that tries to keep 10 uploads
going in parallel. I believe that's the default behavior of the "aws s3
sync" command too.
These generated Postgres settings JSON files can get out of sync causing
the control plane to reject updated to an endpoint or project's Postgres
settings.

## Problem
The current `pageserver_layers_per_read` histogram buckets don't
represent the current reality very well. For the percentiles we care
about (e.g. p50 and p99), we often see fairly high read amp, especially
during ingestion, and anything below 4 can be considered very good.
## Summary of changes
Change the per-timeline read amp histogram buckets to `[4.0, 8.0, 16.0,
32.0, 64.0, 128.0, 256.0]`.
## Problem
Test fails when comparing the first WAL segment because the system id in
the segment header is different. The system id is not consistently set
correctly since segments are usually inited on the safekeeper sync step
with sysid 0.
## Summary of Chnages
Compare timeline digests instead. This skips the header.

I was looking into
https://github.com/neondatabase/serverless/issues/144, I recall previous
cases where proxy would trigger these prepared statements which would
conflict with other statements prepared by our client downstream.
Because of that, and also to aid in debugging, I've made sure all
prepared statements that proxy needs to make have specific names that
likely won't conflict and makes it clear in a error log if it's our
statements that are causing issues
Instead of hardcoding the request timeout, let's make it configurable as
a PGC_SUSET GUC.
Additionally, add a connect timeout GUC. Although the extension server
runs on the compute, it is always best to keep operations from hanging.

We want to host pg_duckdb (starting with v0.3.1) on Neon.
This PR replaces https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10350 which
was for older pg_duckdb v0.2.0
Use cases
- faster OLAP queries
- access to datelake files (e.g. parquet) on S3 buckets from Neon
PostgreSQL
Because neon does not provide superuser role to neon customers we need
to grant some additional permissions to neon_superuser:
Note: some grants that we require are already granted to `PUBLIC` in new
release of pg_duckdb
[here](3789e4c509/sql/pg_duckdb--0.2.0--0.3.0.sql (L1054))
```sql
GRANT ALL ON FUNCTION duckdb.install_extension(TEXT) TO neon_superuser;
GRANT ALL ON TABLE duckdb.extensions TO neon_superuser;
GRANT ALL ON SEQUENCE duckdb.extensions_table_seq TO neon_superuser;
```
## Problem
The timestamp prefix of pytest log lines contains milliseconds without
leading zeros, so values of milliseconds less than 100 printed
incorrectly.
For example:
```

2025-02-15 12:02:52.23 INFO [_internal.py:97] 127.0.0.1 - - ...
```
## Summary of changes
Fix log_format for pytest so that milliseconds are printed with leading
zeros.

available RAM. However, I failed to remove the old hard-coded

## Problem
Sometimes, a regression test run gets stuck (taking more than 60
minutes) and is killed by GitHub's `timeout-minutes` without leaving any
traces in the test results database.

architecture, or the Postgres version.
See: https://neonprod.grafana.net/goto/nM7ih7cHR?orgId=1
## Summary of changes
- Bump `pytest-timeout` to the version that supports `--session-timeout`
- Set `--session-timeout` to (timeout-minutes - 10 minutes) * 60 seconds
in Attempt to stop tests gracefully to generate test reports until they
are forcibly stopped by the stricter `timeout-minutes` limit.

## Summary of changes
This patch adds the support for storing reldir in the sparse keyspace.
All logic are guarded with the `rel_size_v2_enabled` flag, so if it's
set to false, the code path is exactly the same as what's currently in
prod.
Note that we did not persist the `rel_size_v2_enabled` flag and the
logic around it will be implemented in the next patch. (i.e., what if we
enabled it, restart the pageserver, and then it gets set to false? we
should still read from v2 using the rel_size_v2_migration_status in the
index_part). The persistence logic I'll implement in the next patch will
disallow switching from v2->v1 via config item.
I also refactored the metrics so that it can work with the new reldir
store. However, this metric is not correctly computed for reldirs (see
the comments) before. With the refactor, the value will be computed only
when we have an initial value for the reldir size. The refactor keeps
the incorrectness of the computation when there are more than 1
database.
For the tests, we currently run all the tests with v2, and I'll set it
to false and add some v2-specific tests before merging, probably also
v1->v2 migration tests.

I noticed the opportunity to simplify here while working on
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9353 .
The only difference is the zero-fill behavior: if one reads past rel
size,
`get_rel_page_at_lsn` returns a zeroed page whereas `Timeline::get`
returns an error.
However, the `endblk` is at most rel size large, because `nblocks` is eq
`get_rel_size`, see a few lines above this change.
We're using the same LSN (`self.lsn`) for everything, so there is no
chance of non-determinism.

# How It Works
The trouble is two-fold:
1. getting to the raw socket file descriptor through the many Rust types
that wrap it and
2. integrating with the `measure()` function
Rust wraps it in types to model file descriptor lifetimes and ownership,
and usually one can get access using `as_raw_fd()`.
However, we `split()` the stream and the resulting
[`tokio::io::WriteHalf`](https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/tokio/io/struct.WriteHalf.html)
.
Check the PR commit history for my attempts to do it.
My solution is to get the socket fd before we wrap it in our protocol
types, and to store that fd in the new `PostgresBackend::socket_fd`
field.
I believe it's safe because the lifetime of `PostgresBackend::socket_fd`
value == the lifetime of the `TcpStream` that wrap and store in
`PostgresBackend::framed`.
Specifically, the only place that close()s the socket is the `impl Drop
for TcpStream`.
I think the protocol stack calls `TcpStream::shutdown()`, but, that
doesn't `close()` the file descriptor underneath.
Regarding integration with the `measure()` function, the trouble is that
`flush_fut` is currently a generic `Future` type. So, we just pass in
the `socket_fd` as a separate argument.
A clean implementation would convert the `pgb_writer.flush()` to a named
future that provides an accessor for the socket fd while not being
polled.
I tried (see PR history), but failed to break through the `WriteHalf`.
# Testing
Tested locally by running
```
./target/debug/pagebench get-page-latest-lsn --num-clients=1000 --queue-depth=1000
```
in one terminal, waiting a bit, then
```
pkill -STOP pagebench
```
then wait for slow logs to show up in `pageserver.log`.
Pick one of the slow log message's port pairs, e.g., `127.0.0.1:39500`,
and then checking sockstat output
```
ss -ntp | grep '127.0.0.1:39500'
```
to ensure that send & recv queue size match those in the log message.
The logic might seem a bit intricate / over-optimized, but I recently
spent time benchmarking this code path in the context of a nightly
pagebench regression
(https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/21759)
and I want to avoid regressing it any further.
Ideally would also log the socket send & recv queue length like we do on
the compute side in
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10673
But that is proving difficult due to the Rust abstractions that wrap the
socket fd.
Work in progress on that is happening in
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10823
Regarding production impact, I am worried at a theoretical level that
the additional logging may cause a downward spiral in the case where a
pageserver is slow to flush because there is not enough CPU. The logging
would consume more CPU and thereby slow down flushes even more. However,
I don't think this matters practically speaking.

## Problem
Some situations may produce a large number of pending reconciles. If we
experience an issue where reconciles are processed more slowly than
expected, that can prevent us responding promptly to user requests like
tenant/timeline CRUD.
This is a cleaner implementation of the hotfix in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10815
## Summary of changes
- Introduce a second semaphore for high priority tasks, with
configurable units (default 256). The intent is that in practical
situations these user-facing requests should never have to wait.
- Use the high priority semaphore for: tenant/timeline CRUD, and shard
splitting operations. Use normal priority for everything else.
## Problem
We run the compatibility tests only if we are upgrading the extension.
An accidental code change may break the test itself, so we have to check
this code as well.
## Summary of changes
The test is scheduled once a day to save time and resources.

PR #10305 makes sure that there is no *actual* race, i.e. we will never
attempt to offload a timeline that has just been unarchived, or similar.
However, if a timeline has been unarchived and has children that are
unarchived too, we will get an error log line. Such races can occur as
in compaction we check if the timeline can be offloaded way before we
attempt to offload it: the result might change in the meantime.
This patch checks if the delete guard can't be obtained because the
timeline has unarchived children, and if yes, it does another check for
whether the timeline has become unarchived or not. If it is unarchived,
it just prints an info log msg and integrates itself into the error
suppression logic of the compaction calling into it.
If you squint at it really closely, there is still a possible race in
which we print an error log, but this one is unlikely because the
timeline and its children need to be archived right after the check for
whether the timeline has any unarchived children, and right before the
check whether the timeline is archived. Archival involves a network
operation while nothing between these two checks does that, so it's very
unlikely to happen in real life.

## Problem
We had code for stripping IDs out of proxied paths to reduce cardinality
of metrics, but it was only stripping out tenant IDs, and leaving in
timeline IDs and query parameters (e.g. LSN in lsn->timestamp lookups).
## Summary of changes
- Use a more general regex approach.
There is still some risk that a future pageserver API might include a
parameter in `/the/path/`, but we control that API and it is not often
extended. We will also alert on metrics cardinality in staging so that
if we made that mistake we would notice.

## Problem
`benchmarks` is a long-running and non-blocking job. If, on Staging, a

Part of #9011
Before this PR, an IO error returned from the kernel, e.g., due to a bad
disk, would get bubbled up, all the way to a user-visible query failing.
This is against the IO error handling policy where we have established
and is hence being rectified in this PR.
[[(internal Policy document
link)]](bef44149f7/src/storage/handling_io_and_logical_errors.md (L33-L35))
The practice on the write path seems to be that we call
`maybe_fatal_err()` or `fatal_err()` fairly high up the stack.
That is, regardless of whether std::fs, tokio::fs, or VirtualFile is
used to perform the IO.
For the read path, I choose a centralized approach in this PR by
checking for errors as close to the kernel interface as possible.
I believe this is better for long-term consistency.
To mitigate the problem of missing context if we abort so far down in
the stack, the `on_fatal_io_error` now captures and logs a backtrace.
I grepped the pageserver code base for `fs::read` to convince myself
that all non-VirtualFile reads already handle IO errors according to
policy.

## Problem
The test is flaky: WAL in remote storage appears to be corrupted. One of
hypotheses so far is that corruption is the result of local fs
implementation being non atomic, and safekeepers may concurrently PUT
the same segment. That's dubious though because by looking at local_fs
impl I'd expect then early EOF on segment read rather then observed

There is now a compute_ctl_config field in the response that currently
only contains a JSON Web Key set. compute_ctl currently doesn't do
anything with the keys, but will in the future.
The reasoning for the new field is due to the nature of empty computes.
When an empty compute is created, it does not have a tenant. A compute
spec is the primary means of communicating the details of an attached
tenant. In the empty compute state, there is no spec. Instead we wait
for the control plane to pass us one via /configure. If we were to
include the jwks field in the compute spec, we would have a partial
compute spec, which doesn't logically make sense.
Instead, we can have two means of passing settings to the compute:
- spec: tenant specific config details
- compute_ctl_config: compute specific settings
For instance, the JSON Web Key set passed to the compute is independent
of any tenant. It is a setting of the compute whether it is attached or
not.

pg_search is 46ish MB. All other remote extensions are around hundeds of
KB. 3 seconds is not long enough to download the tarball if the S3
gateway cache doesn't already contain a copy. According to our setup,
the cache is limited to 10 GB in size and anything that has not been
accessed for an hour is purged.
This is really bad for scaling to 0, even more so if you're the only
project actively using the extension in a production Kubernetes cluster.

## Problem
This test occasionally fails while the test teardown tries to do a
graceful shutdown, because the test has quickly written lots of data
into the pageserver.
Closes: #10654
## Summary of changes
- Call `post_checks` at the end of `test_isolation`, as we already do
for test_pg_regress -- this improves our detection of issues, and as a
nice side effect flushes the pageserver.
- Ignore pg_notify files when validating state at end of test, these are
not expected to be the same
## Problem
In #10752 I used an overly-strict regex that only ignored error on a
particular key.
## Summary of changes
- Drop key from regex so it matches all such errors
## Problem
The build of the neon container image is not caching any part of the
rust build, making it fairly slow.
## Summary of changes
Cache dependency building using cargo-chef.
## Problem
Previously, when cutting over to cold secondary locations,
we would clobber the previous, good, heatmap with a cold one.
This is because heatmap generation used to include only resident layers.
Once this merges, we can add an endpoint which triggers full heatmap
hydration on attached locations to heal cold migrations.
## Summary of changes
With this patch, heatmap generation becomes additive. If we have a
heatmap from when this location was secondary, the new uploaded heatmap
will be the result of a reconciliation between the old one and the on
disk resident layers.
More concretely, when we have the previous heatmap:
1. Filter the previous heatmap and keep layers that are (a) present
in the current layer map, (b) visible, (c) not resident. Call this set
of layers `visible_non_resident`.
2. From the layer map, select all layers that are resident and visible.
Call this set of layers `resident`.
3. The new heatmap is the result of merging the two disjoint sets.

In #9011, we want to schedule timelines to safekeepers. In order to do
such scheduling, we need information about how utilized a safekeeper is
and if it's available or not.
Therefore, send constant heartbeats to the safekeepers and try to figure
out if they are online or not.
Includes some code from #10440.
## Problem
We expose `latest_gc_cutoff` in our API, and callers understandably were
using that to validate LSNs for branch creation. However, this is _not_
the true GC cutoff from a user's point of view: it's just the point at
which we last actually did GC. The actual cutoff used when validating
branch creations and page_service reads is the min() of latest_gc_cutoff
and the planned GC lsn in GcInfo.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10639
## Summary of changes
- Expose the more useful min() of GC cutoffs as `gc_cutoff_lsn` in the
API, so that the most obviously named field is really the one people
should use.
- Retain the ability to read the LSN at which GC was actually done, in
an `applied_gc_cutoff_lsn` field.
- Internally rename `latest_gc_cutoff_lsn` to `applied_gc_cutoff_lsn`
("latest" was a confusing name, as the value in GcInfo is more up to
date in terms of what a user experiences)
- Temporarily preserve the old `latest_gc_cutoff_lsn` field for compat
with control plane until we update it to use the new field.

## Problem
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10613 changed how images are
pushed, and therefore also how we have to wait for images to be pushed
in `trigger-e2e-tests`. The `trigger-e2e-tests` workflow is triggered in
three different ways:
- When a pull request is pushed to that is already ready to review, here
we call the workflow from `build_and_test`
- When a pull request is marked ready for review, then the workflow is
triggered directly
- When a push to `main` or `release(-.*)?` triggers `build_and_test` and
that indirectly calls `trigger-e2e-tests`.
The second of these paths had a bug, which was not tested in the PR,
because this path being different wasn't clear to me.
## Summary of changes
Fix the jq statement that caused the bug.
## Problem
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10613 changed how images are
pushed, and there was a small mismatch between the github workflow and
the script generating what to push where. This resulted in the workflow
trying to push images to prod registries from the main branch, even
though we don't do that and therefore didn't generate a mapping for
those registries in the script that decides what to push where.
This misconception happened because promote-images-dev pushed to dev
registries, and promote-images-prod pushed to prod registries, but
promote-images-prod also updated the latest tag in the dev registries if
and only if we are on the main branch. This last bit is why the
push-<component>-image-prod jobs were trying to run on the main branch.
## Summary of changes
Don't try pushing to prod registries from the main branch.
## Problem
Retagging container images and pushing container images taken from one
registry to another is very tangled up with artifact building and not
separated by component. This makes not building compute for storage
releases and vice versa pretty tricky. To enable that, I want to clean
up retagging and pushing of container images and then continue on making
the pipelines for releases leaner by not building unnecessary things.
## Summary of changes
- Add a reusable workflow that can push to ACR, ECR and Docker Hub,
while being very flexible in terms of source and target images. This
allows for retagging and pushing images between container registries.
- Stop pushing images to registries aside of docker hub in the jobs that
build the images
- Split image pushing into 4 different jobs (not mentioning special
cases):
- neon-dev
- neon-prod
- compute-dev
- compute-prod
## TODO
- Consider also using this for `pin-build-tools-image`, as it's
basically another instance of the same thing.
## Known limitations
- The ECR part of this workflow supports authenticating to multiple AWS
accounts and therefore multiple ECR endpoints, but the ACR part only
supports one Azure Account. If someone with more knowledge on Azure can
tell me whether an equivalent to
https://github.com/aws-actions/amazon-ecr-login?tab=readme-ov-file#login-to-ecr-on-multiple-aws-accounts
is easily possible, that'd be great.
- The `image_map` input is a bit complex. It expects something along the
lines of
```
{
"docker.io/neondatabase/compute-node-v14:13196061314": [
"docker.io/neondatabase/compute-node-v14:13196061314",
"369495373322.dkr.ecr.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/compute-node-v14:13196061314",

"neoneastus2.azurecr.io/neondatabase/compute-node-v15:13196061314"
]
}
```
to map from source to target image. We have a small python step to
generate this map for the 4 main image pushing jobs. The concrete
example is taken from
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/actions/runs/13196061314/job/36838584098?pr=10613#step:3:6
and shortened to two images.
## Problem
We respect `skip_pg_catalog_updates` at the initial start, but ignore at
the follow-up `/configure`. Yet, it's used for storage->cplane->compute
notify requests after migrations, shard split, etc. So every time we get
them, applying the new config takes much longer than it should because
we go through Postgres catalog checks. Cplane sets this flag, when it
does serves notify attach call

Related to `inc-403`, for example
## Summary of changes
Look at `skip_pg_catalog_updates` in `compute.reconfigure()`
## Problem
PRs created by external contributors, in some cases might list failed
jobs
- `Trigger E2E Tests / cancel-previous-e2e-tests`
- `Trigger E2E Tests / tag`
They don't block the merge, and tests in fact pass (their counterparts
in internal PR), but because jobs are triggered from an external PR (and
not from the corresponding internal one) they still present as red
marks.
For example https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10778
## Summary of changes
- Check permissions before triggering e2e tests
## Problem
L0 compaction frequently gets starved out by other background tasks and
image/GC compaction. L0 compaction must be responsive to keep read
amplification under control.
Touches #10694.
Resolves#10689.
## Summary of changes
Use a separate semaphore for the L0-only compaction pass.
* Add a `CONCURRENT_L0_COMPACTION_TASKS` semaphore and
`BackgroundLoopKind::L0Compaction`.
* Add a setting `compaction_l0_semaphore` (default off via
`compaction_l0_first`).
* Use the L0 semaphore when doing an `OnlyL0Compaction` pass.
* Use the background semaphore when doing a regular compaction pass
(which includes an initial L0 pass).
* While waiting for the background semaphore, yield for L0 compaction if
triggered.
* Add `CompactFlags::NoYield` to disable L0 yielding, and set it for the
HTTP API route.
* Remove the old `use_compaction_semaphore` setting and
compaction-scoped semaphore.
* Remove the warning when waiting for a semaphore; it's noisy and we
have metrics.
## Problem
With current approach for the base images in `Dockerfiles`, it's hard to
track when image is updated, and as they are base, than update will
invalidate all the layers, as base image changed.
That also becomes more complicated, as we have a number of runners, and
they may have different images with the tag `bookworm-slim`, so that
will lead to invalidate caches, when image build on one runner will be
used on another runners.
To fix that problem, we could pin our base images to the specific sha,
and that not only align images across runners, and also will allow us to
have reproducible build and don't depend on any spontaneous changes in
upstream.
Fix: https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/24084
## Summary of changes
Beside of the main goal, that PR also included some small changes around
Dockerfiles:
1. Main change: use `SHA` for `bookworm-slim` and `bullseye-slim` debian
images
2. For the layers requiring `curl` we could add `curl` and `unzip` to
the `build-deps` image, and use it as a base image for all the steps,
removing extra dependency on `alpine/curl`
3. added `retry-on-host-error=on` for the `wgetrc` as it happened to me:
fail to resolve hostname
## Problem
Previously, Workload was reconfiguring the compute before each run of
writes, which was meant to be a no-op when nothing changed, but was
actually writing extra data due to an issue being fixed in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10696.
The row counts in tests were too low in some cases, these tests were
only working because of those extra writes that shouldn't have been
happening, and moreover were relying on checkpoints happening.
## Summary of changes
- Only reconfigure compute if the attached pageserver actually changed.
If pageserver is set to None, that means controller is managing
everything, so never reconfigure compute.
- Update tests that wrote too few rows.

The old values assumed that you have at least about 18 GB of RAM
available (shared_buffers=10GB and maintenance_work_mem=8GB). That's a
lot when testing locally. Make it configurable, and make the default
assumption much smaller: 256 MB.
This is nice for local testing, but it's also in preparation for
starting to use VMs to run these jobs. When launched in a VM, the
control plane can set these env variables according to the max size of
the VM.
Also change the formula for how RAM is distributed: use 10% of RAM for
shared_buffers, and 70% for maintenance_work_mem. That leaves a good
amount for misc. other stuff and the OS. A very large shared_buffers
setting won't typically help with bulk loading. It won't help with the
network and I/O of processing all the tables, unless maybe if the whole
database fits in shared buffers, but even then it's not much faster than
using local disk. Bulk loading is all sequential I/O. It also won't help
much with index creation, which is also sequential I/O. A large
maintenance_work_mem can be quite useful, however, so that's where we
put most of the RAM.

When we query pageserver and it's unavailable after some retries,
postgres sigabrt's. This is intended behavior so I've added tests

## Problem
When image compaction yields for L0 compaction, it may not immediately
schedule L0 compaction, because it just goes on to compact the next
pending timeline.
Touches #10694.
Requires #10744.
## Summary of changes
Extend `CompactionOutcome` with `YieldForL0` and `Skipped` variants, and
immediately schedule an L0 compaction pass in the `YieldForL0` case.
## Problem
Image compaction can starve out L0 compaction if a tenant has several
timelines with L0 debt.
Touches #10694.
Requires #10740.
## Summary of changes
* Add an initial L0 compaction pass, in order of L0 count.
* Add a tenant option `compaction_l0_first` to control the L0 pass
(disabled by default).
* Add `CompactFlags::OnlyL0Compaction` to run an L0-only compaction
pass.
* Clean up the compaction iteration logic.
A later PR will use separate semaphores for the L0 and image compaction
passes to avoid cross-tenant L0 starvation. That PR will also make image
compaction yield if _any_ of the tenant's timelines have pending L0
compaction to further avoid starvation.
Avoids compiling the crate and its dependencies into binaries that don't
need them. Shrinks the compute_ctl binary from about 31MB to 28MB in the
release-line-debug-size-lto profile.
Run "apt install" first, and only then COPY the files from the
intermediary build layers to the final image. This way, if you modify
any of the sources that trigger e.g. rebuilding compute_ctl, the "apt
install" step can still be cached.
## Problem
In https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10411 fill logic changes
such that it benefits us to test it with & without AZs set up. I didn't
extend the test inline in that PR because there were overlapping test
changes in flight to add `num_az` parameter.
## Summary of changes
- Parameterise test on AZ count (1 or 2)
- When AZ count is 2, use a different balance check that just asserts
the _tenants_ are balanced (since AZ affinity is chosen on a per-tenant
basis)
The compute_ctl HTTP server has the following purposes:
- Allow management via the control plane
- Provide an endpoint for scaping metrics
- Provide APIs for compute internal clients
- Neon Postgres extension for installing remote extensions
- local_proxy for installing extensions and adding grants
The first two purposes require the HTTP server to be available outside
the compute.
The Neon threat model is a bad actor within our internal network. We
need to reduce the surface area of attack. By exposing unnecessary
unauthenticated HTTP endpoints to the internal network, we increase the
surface area of attack. For endpoints described in the third bullet
point, we can just run an extra HTTP server, which is only bound to the
loopback interface since all consumers of those endpoints are within the
compute.
This changes the default value of the `timeline_offloading` pageserver
and tenant configs to true, now that offloading has been rolled out
without problems.
There is also a small fix in the tenant config merge function, where we
applied the `lazy_slru_download` value instead of `timeline_offloading`.

# Problem
Say we have a batch of 10 responses to send out.
Then, even with
- #10728
we've still only called observe_execution_end_flush_start for the first
3 responses.
The remaining 7 response timers are still ticking.
When compute now closes the connection, the waiting flush fails with an
error and we `drop()` the remaining 7 responses' smgr op timers. The
`impl Drop for SmgrOpTimer` will observe an execution time that includes
the flush time.
In practice, this is supsected to produce the `+Inf` observations in the
smgr op latency histogram we've seen since the introduction of
pipelining, even after shipping #10728.

## Problem
These tests can encounter a bug in the pageserver read path (#9185)
which occurs under the very specific circumstances that the tests
create, but is very unlikely to happen in the field.
We will fix the bug, but in the meantime let's un-flake the tests.
Related: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10720
## Summary of changes
- Permit "could not find data for key" errors in tests affected by #9185
I don't see the point of static linking, postgres itself and many of the
extensions are already built dynamically.
One reason for the change is that I'm working on bigger changes to start
using systemd in the compute, and as part of that I wanted to add the
--with-systemd configure option to pgbouncer, and there doesn't seem to
be a static version of libsystemd (at least not on Debian).
## Problem
/database_schema endpoint returns incomplete output from `pg_dump`
## Summary of changes
The Tokio process was not used properly. The returned stream does not
include `process::Child`, and the process is scheduled to be killed
immediately after the `get_database_schema` call when `cmd` goes out of
scope.
The solution in this PR is to return a special Stream implementation
that retains `process::Child`.
compute_ctl is mostly written in synchronous fashion, intended to run in
a single thread. However various parts had become async, and they
launched their own tokio runtimes to run the async code. For example, VM
monitor ran in its own multi-threaded runtime, and apply_spec_sql()
launched another multi-threaded runtime to run the per-database SQL
commands in parallel. In addition to that, a few places used a
current-thread runtime to run async code in the main thread, or launched
a current-thread runtime in a *different* thread to run background
tasks.
Unify the runtimes so that there is only one tokio runtime. It's created
very early at process startup, and the main thread "enters" the runtime,
so that it's always available for tokio::spawn() and runtime.block_on()
calls. All code that needs to run async code uses the same runtime.
The main thread still mostly runs in a synchronous fashion. When it
needs to run async code, it uses rt.block_on().
Spawn fewer additional threads, prefer to spawn tokio tasks instead.
Convert some code that ran synchronously in background threads into
async. I didn't go all the way, though, some background threads are
still spawned.
## Problem

`range_search` only returns the top-most layers that may satisfy the
search, so it doesn't include all layers that might be accessed (the
user needs to recursively call this function). We need to retrieve the
full layer map and find overlaps in order to have a correct heuristics
of the job split.
## Summary of changes
Retrieve all layers and find overlaps instead of doing `range_search`.
The patch also reduces the time holding the layer map read guard.

## Problem
The compaction loop currently runs periodically, which can cause it to
wait for up to 20 seconds before starting L0 compaction by default.
Also, when we later separate the semaphores for L0 compaction and image
compaction, we want to give up waiting for the image compaction
semaphore if L0 compaction is needed on any timeline.
Touches #10694.
## Summary of changes
Notify the compaction loop when an L0 flush (on any timeline) exceeds
`compaction_threshold`.
Also do some opportunistic cleanups in the area.
Building the compute rust binaries from scratch is pretty slow, it takes
between 4-15 minutes on my laptop, depending on which compiler flags and
other tricks I use. A cache mount allows caching the dependencies and
incremental builds, which speeds up rebuilding significantly when you
only makes a small change in a source file.
The awscli was downloaded at the last stages of the overall compute
image build, which meant that if you modified any part of the build, it
would trigger a re-download of the awscli. That's a bit annoying when
developing locally and rebuilding the compute image repeatedly. Move it
to a separate layer, to cache separately and to avoid the spurious
rebuilds.
The compute_id will be used when verifying claims sent by the control
plane.

## Problem
This test would sometimes fail its assertion that a timeline does not
revert to active once archived. That's because it was using the
in-memory offload state, not the persistent state, so this was sometimes
lost across a pageserver restart.

## Summary of changes
- When reading offload status, read from pageserver API _and_ remote
storage before considering the timeline offloaded
I plan to use this when launching a fast_import job in a VM. There's
currently no good way for an executable running in a NeonVM to exit
gracefully and have the VM shut down. The inittab we use always respawns
the payload command. The idea is that the control plane can use
"fast_import ... && poweroff" as the command, so that when fast_import
completes successfully, the VM is terminated, and the k8s Pod and
VirtualMachine object are marked as completed successfully.
I'm working on bigger changes to how we launch VMs, and will try to come
up with a nicer system for that, but in the meanwhile, this quick hack
allows us to proceed with using VMs for one-off jobs like fast_import.

Related: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10389
## Summary of changes
- Downgrade the 'ignoring attempt to restart' to info -- there's nothing
in the design that forbids this happening, i.e. someone calling
maybe_spawn_flush_loop concurrently with shutdown()
- Prevent timeline deletion tasks outliving tenants by carrying a
gateguard. This logically makes sense because the deletion process does
call into Tenant to update manifests.
## Problem
L0 compaction can get starved by other background tasks. It needs to be
responsive to avoid read amp blowing up during heavy write workloads.
Touches #10694.
## Summary of changes
Add a separate semaphore for compaction, configurable via
`use_compaction_semaphore` (disabled by default). This is primarily for
testing in staging; it needs further work (in particular to split
image/L0 compaction jobs) before it can be enabled.
## Problem
Endpoint kept running while timeline was deleted, causing forbidden
warnings on the pageserver when the tenant is not found.
## Summary of changes
- Explicitly stop the endpoint before the end of the test, so that it
isn't trying to talk to the pageserver in the background while things
are torn down
## Problem
This is tech debt. While we introduced generations for tenants, some
legacy situations without generations needed to delete things inline
(async operation) instead of enqueing them (sync operation).
## Summary of changes

that the generation is always set

to the localhost, both IPv4 and IPv6: `127.0.0.1` and `::1`
In some cases on our runners these addresses resolves only to `IPv6`,
and so components fail to connect when runner doesn't have `IPv6`
address. We suspect issue in systemd-resolved here
(https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/17745)
To workaround that and improve test stability, we introduced our own
domain `*.local.neon.build` with IPv4 address `127.0.0.1` only
See full details and troubleshoot log in referred issue.
p.s.
If you're FritzBox user, don't forget to add that domain
`local.neon.build` to the `DNS Rebind Protection` section under `Home
Network -> Network -> Network Settings`, otherwise FritzBox will block
addresses, resolving to the local addresses.
For other devices/vendors, please check corresponding documentation, if
resolving `local.neon.build` will produce empty answer for you.
## Summary of changes
Replace all the occurrences of `localtest.me` with `local.neon.build`
We need to disable the detection of memory leaks when running
``neon_local init` for build with sanitizers to avoid an error thrown by
AddressSanitizer.

The problem is most likely that the following call returned a message in
a read-only memory segment where we cannot replace \n with \0 in
string_utils.c splitLines() function
```C

```
## Summary of changes
modified the patch to also address this problem
## Problem
Currently the following line below uses array subscript notation which
is confusing since `reqlsns` is not an array but just a pointer to a
struct.
```
XLogWaitForReplayOf(reqlsns[0].request_lsn);
```
## Summary of changes
Switch from array subscript notation to arrow operator to improve
readability of code.
Close#10620.
## Problem
We don't have visibility into how long an individual background job is
waiting for a semaphore permit.
## Summary of changes
* Make `pageserver_background_loop_semaphore_wait_seconds` a histogram
rather than a sum.
* Add a paced warning when a task takes more than 10 minutes to get a
permit (for now).
* Drive-by cleanup of some `EnumMap` usage.
## Problem
This test called NeonPageserver.tenant_detach, which as well as
detaching locally on the pageserver, also updates the storage controller
to put the tenant into Detached mode. When the test runs slowly in debug
mode, it sometimes takes long enough that the background_reconcile loop
wakes up and drops the tenant from memory in response, such that the
pageserver can't validate its deletions and the test does not behave as
expected.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10513
## Summary of changes
- Call the pageserver HTTP client directly rather than going via
NeonPageserver.tenant_detach
## Problem
The default `GITHUB_TOKEN` is used to push changes created with
`approved-for-ci-run`, which doesn't work:

## Summary of changes
- Use `CI_ACCESS_TOKEN` to clone an external repo
- Remove unneeded `actions/checkout`
## Problem
During ingest_benchmark which uses `pgcopydb`
([see](https://github.com/dimitri/pgcopydb))we sometimes had outages.
- when PostgreSQL COPY step failed we got a segfault (reported
[here](https://github.com/dimitri/pgcopydb/issues/899))
- the root cause was Neon idle_in_transaction_session_timeout is set to
5 minutes which is suboptimal for long-running tasks like project import
(reported [here](https://github.com/dimitri/pgcopydb/issues/900))
## Summary of changes
Patch pgcopydb to avoid segfault.
override idle_in_transaction_session_timeout and set it to "unlimited"
## Problem
We need a metrics to know what's going on in pageserver's background
jobs.
## Summary of changes
* Waiting tasks: task still waiting for the semaphore.
* Running tasks: tasks doing their actual jobs.

Often the output of the timestamp->lsn API is used as input for branch
creation, and branch creation takes the planned lsn into account, i.e.
rejects lsn's as branch lsns that are before the planned lsn.
This patch doesn't fix all race conditions, it's still racy. But at
least it is a step into the right direction.
For #10639
## Problem
Following #10641, let's add a few critical errors.
Resolves#10094.
## Summary of changes
Adds the following critical errors:
* WAL sender read/decode failure.
* WAL record ingestion failure.
* WAL redo failure.
* Missing key during compaction.
We don't add an error for missing keys during GetPage requests, since
we've seen a handful of these in production recently, and the cause is
still unclear (most likely a benign race).
Right now, branch creation doesn't care if a lsn lease exists or not, it
just fails if the passed lsn is older than either the last or the
planned gc cutoff.
However, if an lsn lease exists for a given lsn, we can actually create
a branch at that point: nothing has been gc'd away.
This prevents race conditions that #10678 still leaves around.
Related: #10639https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/23667
We don't want any external requests for an archived timeline. This
includes basebackup requests, i.e. when a compute is being started up.
Therefore, we'd like to forbid such basebackup requests: any attempt to
get a basebackup on an archived timeline (or any getpage request really)
is a cplane bug. Make this a warning for now so that, if there is
potentially a bug, we can detect cases in the wild before they cause
stuck operations, but the intention is to return an error eventually.
Related: #9548
On my AX102 Hetzner box, removing this line removes about 20us from the
`latency_mean` result in
`test_pageserver_characterize_latencies_with_1_client_and_throughput_with_many_clients_one_tenant`.
If the same 20us can be removed in the nightly benchmark run, this will
be a ~10% improvement because there, mean latencies are about ~220us.
This span was added during batching refactors, we didn't have it before,
and I don't think it's terribly useful.

## Problem
The local filesystem backend for remote storage doesn't set a
concurrency limit. While it can't/won't enforce a concurrency limit
itself, this also bounds the upload queue concurrency. Some tests create
thousands of uploads, which slows down the quadratic scheduling of the
upload queue, and there is no point spawning that many Tokio tasks.
Resolves#10409.
## Summary of changes
Set a concurrency limit of 100 for the LocalFS backend.

## Problem
The code is intended to reschedule compaction immediately if there are
pending tasks. We set the duration to 0 before if there are pending
tasks, but this will go through the `if period == Duration::ZERO {`
branch and sleep for another 10 seconds.
## Summary of changes
Set duration to 1 so that it doesn't sleep for too long.

The full build of all extensions takes a long time. When working locally
on parts that don't need extensions, you can iterate more quickly by
skipping the unnecessary extensions.
This adds a build argument to the dockerfile to specify extensions to
build. There are three options:
- EXTENSIONS=all (default)
- EXTENSIONS=minimal: Build only a few extensions that are listed in
shared_preload_libraries in the default neon config.
- EXTENSIONS=none: Build no extensions (except for the mandatory 'neon'
extension).
## Problem

## Summary of changes
* Image layer creation starts from the next partition of the last
processed partition if the previous attempt was not complete.
* Add tests.

## Problem
When a shard has two secondary locations, but one of them is on a node
with MaySchedule::No, the optimiser would get stuck, because it couldn't
decide which secondary to remove.
This is generally okay if a node is offline, but if a node is in Pause
mode for a long period of time, it's a problem.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10646
## Summary of changes
- Instead of insisting on finding a node in the wrong AZ to remove, find
an available node in the _right_ AZ, and remove all the others. This
ensures that if there is one live suitable node, then other
offline/paused nodes cannot hold things up.
Given a remote extensions manifest of the following:
```json
{
"public_extensions": [],
"custom_extensions": null,
"library_index": {
"pg_search": "pg_search"
},
"extension_data": {
"pg_search": {
"control_data": {
"pg_search.control": "comment = 'pg_search: Full text search for PostgreSQL using BM25'\ndefault_version = '0.14.1'\nmodule_pathname = '$libdir/pg_search'\nrelocatable = false\nsuperuser = true\nschema = paradedb\ntrusted = true\n"
},
"archive_path": "13117844657/v14/extensions/pg_search.tar.zst"
}
}
}
```
We were allowing a compute to install a remote extension that wasn't
listed in either public_extensions or custom_extensions.

## Problem
We don't have visibility into the ratio of image vs. delta pages
ingested in Pageservers. This might be useful to determine whether we
should compress WAL records before storing them, which in turn might
make compaction more efficient.
## Summary of changes
Add `pageserver_wal_ingest_values_committed` metric with dimensions
`class=metadata|data` and `kind=image|delta`.
## Problem
We get WARN log noise on tenant creations. Cplane creates tenants via
/location_config. That returns the attached locations in the response
and spawns a reconciliation which will also attempt to notify cplane. If
the notification is attempted before cplane persists the shards to its
database, storcon gets back a 404. The situation is harmless, but
annoying.
## Summary of Changes
* Add a tenant creation hint to the reconciler config
* If the hint is true and we get back a 404 on the notification from
cplane, ignore the error, but still queue the reconcile up for a retry.
Closes https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/20732
## Problem
Ref: https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/23461
and follow-up after: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10553
we used `echo` to set-up `.wgetrc` and `.curlrc`, and there we used `\n`
to make these multiline configs with one echo command.
The problem is that Debian `/bin/sh`'s built-in echo command behaves
differently from the `/bin/echo` executable and from the `echo` built-in
in `bash`. Namely, it does not support the`-e` option, and while it does
treat `\n` as a newline, passing `-e` here will add that `-e` to the
output.
At the same time, when we use different base images, for example
`alpine/curl`, their `/bin/sh` supports and requires `-e` for treating
escape sequences like `\n`.
But having different `echo` and remembering difference in their
behaviour isn't best experience for the developer and makes bad
experience maintaining Dockerfiles.
Work-arounds:
- Explicitly use `/bin/bash` (like in this PR)
- Use `/bin/echo` instead of the shell's built-in echo function
- Use printf "foo\n" instead of echo -e "foo\n"
## Summary of changes
1. To fix that, we process with the option setting `/bin/bash` as a
SHELL for the debian-baysed layers
2. With no changes for `alpine/curl` based layers.
3. And one more change here: in `extensions` layer split to the 2 steps:
installing dependencies from `CPAN` and installing `lcov` from github,
so upgrading `lcov` could reuse previous layer with installed cpan
modules.
## Problem
We wish to make heatmap generation additive in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10597.
However, if the pageserver restarts and has a heatmap on disk from when
it was a secondary long ago,
we can end up keeping extra layers on the secondary's disk.
## Summary of changes
Persist the heatmap after a successful upload.
## Problem
Hopefully this can resolve
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10517. The reason why the
test is flaky is that after restart the compute node might write some
data so that the pageserver flush some layers, and in the end, causing
L0 compaction to run, and we cannot get the test scenario as we want.
## Summary of changes
Ensure all L0 layers are compacted before starting the test.

## Problem
In #9895, we fixed some issues where `ClearVmBits` were broadcast to all
shards, even those not owning the VM relation. As part of that, we found
some ancient code from #1417, which discarded spurious incorrect
`ClearVmBits` records for pages outside of the VM relation. We added
observability in #9911 to see how often this actually happens in the
wild.
After two months, we have not seen this happen once in production or
staging. However, out of caution, we don't want a hard error and break
WAL ingestion.
Resolves#10067.
## Summary of changes
Log a critical error when ingesting `ClearVmBits` for unknown VM
relations or pages.
## Problem
We want to switch proxy and ideally all Rust services to structured JSON
logging to support better filtering and cross-referencing with tracing.
## Summary of changes
* Introduce a custom tracing-subscriber to write the JSON. In a first
attempt a customized tracing::fmt::FmtSubscriber was used, but it's very
inefficient and can still generate invalid JSON. It's also doesn't allow
us to add important fields to the root object.
* Make this opt in: the `LOGFMT` env var can be set to `"json"` to
enable to new logger at startup.
This PR does a bunch of things:
* only allow errors of the server cert verification, not of the TLS
handshake. The TLS handshake doesn't cause any errors for us so we can
just always require it to be valid. This simplifies the code a little.
* As the solution is more permanent than originally anticipated, I think
it makes sense to move the `AcceptAll` verifier outside.
* log the connstr information. this helps with figuring out which domain
names are configured in the connstr, etc. I think it is generally useful
to print it. make extra sure that the password is not leaked.
Follow-up of #10640
Refactor how extensions are built in compute Dockerfile
1. Rename some of the extension layers, so that names correspond more
precisely to the upstream repository name and the source directory
name. For example, instead of "pg-jsonschema-pg-build", spell it
"pg_jsonschema-build". Some of the layer names had the extra "pg-"
part, and some didn't; harmonize on not having it. And use an
underscore if the upstream project name uses an underscore.
2. Each extension now consists of two dockerfile targets:
[extension]-src and [extension]-build. By convention, the -src
target downloads the sources and applies any neon-specific patches
if necessary. The source tarball is downloaded and extracted under
/ext-src. For example, the 'pgvector' extension creates the
following files and directory:
/ext-src/pgvector.tar.gz # original tarball
/ext-src/pgvector.patch # neon-specific patch, copied from patches/ dir
/ext-src/pgvector-src/ # extracted tarball, with patch applied
This separation avoids re-downloading the sources every time the
extension is recompiled. The 'extension-tests' target also uses the
[extension]-src layers, by copying the /ext-src/ dirs from all
the extensions together into one image.
This refactoring came about when I was experimenting with different
ways of splitting up the Dockerfile so that each extension would be in
a separate file. That's not part of this PR yet, but this is a good
step in modularizing the extensions.
## Problem
Image layer generation could block L0 compactions for a long time.
## Summary of changes
* Refactored the return value of `create_image_layers_for_*` functions
to make it self-explainable.
* Preempt image layer generation in `Try` mode if L0 piles up.
Note that we might potentially run into a state that only the beginning
part of the keyspace gets image coverage. In that case, we either need
to implement something to prioritize some keyspaces with image coverage,
or tune the image_creation_threshold to ensure that the frequency of
image creation could keep up with L0 compaction.

## Problem
We don't currently have good alerts for critical errors, e.g. data
loss/corruption.
Touches #10094.
## Summary of changes
Add a `critical!` macro and corresponding
`libmetrics_tracing_event_count{level="critical"}` metric. This will:
* Emit an `ERROR` log message with prefix `"CRITICAL:"` and a backtrace.
* Increment `libmetrics_tracing_event_count{level="critical"}`, and
indirectly `level="error"`.
* Trigger a pageable alert (via the metric above).
* In debug builds, panic the process.
I'll add uses of the macro separately.
## Problem
I noticed when onboarding lots of tenants that the AZ scheduling
violation stat was climbing, before falling later as optimisations
happened. This was happening because we first add the tenant with
PlacementPolicy::Secondary, and then later go to
PlacementPolicy::Attached, and the scheduler's behavior led to a bad AZ
choice:
1. Create a secondary location in the non-preferred AZ
2. Upgrade to Attached where we promote that non-preferred-AZ location
to attached and then create another secondary
3. Optimiser later realises we're in the wrong AZ and moves us
## Summary of changes
- Extend some logging to give more information about AZs
- When scheduling secondary location in PlacementPolicy::Secondary,
select it as if we were attached: in this mode, our business goal is to
have a warm pageserver location that we can make available as attached
quickly if needed, therefore we want it to be in the preferred AZ.
- Make optimize_secondary logic the same, so that it will consider a
secondary location in the preferred AZ to be optimal when in
PlacementPolicy::Secondary
- When transitioning to from PlacementPolicy::Attached(N) to
PlacementPolicy::Secondary, instead of arbitrarily picking a location to
keep, prefer to keep the location in the preferred AZ
We encountered some TLS validation errors for the storcon since applying

## Problem
* The behavior of this flag changed. Plus, it's not necessary to disable
the IP check as long as there are no IPs listed in the local postgres.
## Summary of changes
* Drop the flag from the command in the README.md section.
* Change the postgres URL passed to proxy to not use the endpoint
hostname.
* Also swap postgres creation and proxy startup, so the DB is running
when proxy comes up.
## Problem
Tests for logical replication (on Staging) have been failing for some
time because logical replication is not enabled for them. This issue
occurred after switching to an org API key with a different default
setting, where logical replication was not enabled by default.
## Summary of changes
- Add `enable_logical_replication` input to
`actions/neon-project-create`
- Enable logical replication in `test-logical-replication` job
Logging errors with the debug format specifier causes multi-line errors,
which are sometimes a pain to deal with. Instead, we should use anyhow's

## Problem
While working on https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10617 I
(unintentionally) merged the PR before the main CI pipeline has
finished.
I suspect this happens because we have received all the required job
results from the pre-merge-checks workflow, which runs on PRs that
include changes to relevant files.
## Summary of changes
- Skip the `conclusion` job in `pre-merge-checks` workflows for PRs
## Problem
This test would sometimes emit unexpected logs from the storage
controller's requests to do migrations, which overlap with the test's
restarts of pageservers, where those migrations are happening some time
after a shard split as the controller moves load around.
Example:
https://neon-github-public-dev.s3.amazonaws.com/reports/pr-10602/13067323736/index.html#testresult/f66f1329557a1fc5/retries
## Summary of changes
- Do a reconcile_until_idle after shard split, so that the rest of the
test doesn't run concurrently with migrations
In the safekeeper, we block deletions on the timeline's gate closing,
and any `WalResidentTimeline` keeps the gate open (because it owns a
gate lock object). Thus, unless the `main_task` function of a partial
backup doesn't return, we can't delete the associated timeline.
In order to make these tasks exit early, we call the cancellation token
of the timeline upon its shutdown. However, the partial backup task
wasn't looking for the cancellation while waiting to acquire a partial
backup permit.
On a staging safekeeper we have been in a situation in the past where
the semaphore was already empty for a duration of many hours, rendering
all attempted deletions unable to proceed until a restart where the
semaphore was reset:

We forked copy_bidirectional to solve some issues like fast-shutdown
(disallowing half-open connections) and to introduce better error
tracking (which side of the conn closed down).
A change recently made its way upstream offering performance
improvements: https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio/pull/6532. These seem
applicable to our fork, thus it makes sense to apply them here as well.
The primary benefit is that all the ad hoc get_matches() calls are no
longer necessary. Now all it takes to get at the CLI arguments is
referencing a struct member. It's also great the we can replace the ad
hoc CLI struct we had with this more formal solution.

## Problem
When a client dropped before a request completed, and a handler returned
an ApiError, we would log that at error severity. That was excessive in
the case of a request erroring on a shutdown, and could cause test
flakes.
example:

## Problem
There are two (related) problems with the previous handling of
`cargo-deny`:
- When a new advisory is added to rustsec that affects a dependency,
unrelated pull requests will fail.
- New advisories rely on pushes or PRs to be surfaced. Problems that
already exist on main will only be found if we try to merge new things
into main.
## Summary of changes
We split out `cargo-deny` into a separate workflow that runs on all PRs
that touch `Cargo.lock`, and on a schedule on `main`, `release`,
`release-compute` and `release-proxy` to find new advisories.
Update to a rebased version of our rust-postgres patches, rebased on
[this](98f5a11bc0)

With #10280 reapplied, this means that the rust-postgres crates will be
deduplicated, as the new crate versions are finally compatible with the
requirements of diesel-async.

- Add `Check diesel schema` step to `build-neon` job, at this stage we
have all required binaries, so don't need to compile anything
additionally
- Check runs only on x86 release builds to be sure we do it at least

If offloading races with normal shutdown, we get a "failed to freeze and
flush: cannot flush frozen layers when flush_loop is not running, state

archived timeline isn't useful.

## Problem
Because dashmap 6 switched to hashbrown RawTable API, it required us to
use unsafe code in the upgrade:
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8107
## Summary of changes
Switch to clashmap, a fork maintained by me which removes much of the
unsafe and ultimately switches to HashTable instead of RawTable to
remove much of the unsafe requirement on us.
The test runs this query:
select count(*), sum(data::bigint)::bigint from t
to validate the test results between each part of the test. It performs
a simple sequential scan and aggregation, but was taking an order of
magnitude longer on v17 than on previous Postgres versions, which
sometimes caused the test to time out. There were two reasons for that:
1. On v17, the planner estimates the table to have only only one row. In
reality it has 305790 rows, and older versions estimated it at 611580,
which is not too bad given that the table has not been analyzed so the
planner bases that estimate just on the number of pages and the widths
of the datatypes. The new estimate of 1 row is much worse, and it leads
the planner to disregard parallel plans, whereas on older versions you
got a Parallel Seq Scan.
I tracked this down to upstream commit 29cf61ade3, "Consider fillfactor
when estimating relation size". With that commit,
table_block_relation_estimate_size() function calculates that each page
accommodates less than 1 row when the fillfactor is taken into account,
which rounds down to 0. In reality, the executor will always place at
least one row on a page regardless of fillfactor, but the new estimation
formula doesn't take that into account.
I reported this to pgsql-hackers
(https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/2bf9d973-7789-4937-a7ca-0af9fb49c71e%40iki.fi),
we don't need to do anything more about it in neon. It's OK to not use
parallel scans here; once issue 2. below is addressed, the queries are
fast enough without parallelism..
2. On v17, prefetching was not happening for the sequential scan. That's
because starting with v17, buffers are reserved in the shared buffer
cache before prefetching is initiated, and we use a tiny
shared_buffers=1MB setting in the tests. The prefetching is effectively
disabled with such a small shared_buffers setting, to protect the system
from completely starving out of buffers.
To address that, simply bump up shared_buffers in the test.
This patch addresses the second issue, which is enough to fix the
problem.
## Problem
In https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10438 it was pointed out
that it would be good to avoid picking tenants in ID order, and also to
avoid situations where we might double-select the same tenant.
There was an initial swing at this in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10443, where Chi suggested a
simpler approach which is done in this PR
## Summary of changes
- Split total set of tenants into in and out of home AZ
- Consume out of home AZ first, and if necessary shuffle + consume from
out of home AZ
## Problem
In https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10438 I had got the
function for picking tenants backwards, and it was preferring to move
things _away_ from their preferred AZ.
## Summary of changes
- Fix condition in `is_attached_outside_preferred_az`
## Problem
Timeline bootstrap starts a flush loop, but doesn't reliably shut down
the timeline (incl. waiting for flush loop to exit) before destroying
UninitializedTimeline, and that destructor tries to clean up local
storage. If local storage is still being written to, then this is
unsound.
Currently the symptom is that we see a "Directory not empty" error log,
e.g.
https://neon-github-public-dev.s3.amazonaws.com/reports/main/12966756686/index.html#testresult/5523f7d15f46f7f7/retries
## Summary of changes
- Move fallible IO part of bootstrap into a function (notably, this is
fallible in the case of the tenant being shut down while creation is
happening)
- When that function returns an error, call shutdown() on the timeline
## Problem
The test asserts that it completes at least 10 full timeline lifecycles,
but the noisy CI environment sometimes doesn't meet that goal.
Related: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10389
## Summary of changes
- Sleep for longer between pageserver restarts, so that the timeline
workers have more chance to make progress
- Sleep for shorter between retries from timeline worker, so that they
have better chance to get in while a pageserver is up between restarts
- Relax the success condition to complete at least 5 iterations instead
of 10

## Test run
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/actions/runs/13053968231
It took me ages to figure out why it was failing on my laptop. What I
saw was that when the test makes the 'import_pgdata' in the pageserver,
the pageserver actually performs a regular 'bootstrap' timeline creation
by running initdb, with no importing. It boiled down to the json request
that the test uses:
```
{
"new_timeline_id": str(timeline_id),
"import_pgdata": {
"idempotency_key": str(idempotency),
"location": {"LocalFs": {"path": str(importbucket.absolute())}},
},
},
```
and how serde deserializes into rust structs. The 'LocalFs' enum variant
in `models.rs` is gated on the 'testing' cargo feature. On a non-testing
build, that got deserialized into the default Bootstrap enum variant, as
a valid TimelineCreateRequestModeImportPgdata variant could not be
formed.
PS. IMHO we should get rid of the testing feature, compile in all the
functionality, and have a runtime flag to disable anything dangeorous.
With that, you would've gotten a nice "feature only enabled in testing
mode" error in this case, or the test would've simply worked. But that's
another story.
## Problem
close https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10482
## Summary of changes
Add an extra lock on the read path to protect against races. The read
path has an implication that only certain kind of compactions can be
performed. Garbage keys must first have an image layer covering the
range, and then being gc-ed -- they cannot be done in one operation. An
alternative to fix this is to move the layers read guard to be acquired
at the beginning of `get_vectored_reconstruct_data_timeline`, but that
was intentionally optimized out and I don't want to regress.
The race is not limited to image layers. Gc-compaction will consolidate
deltas automatically and produce a flat delta layer (i.e., when we have
retain_lsns below the gc-horizon). The same race would also cause
behaviors like getting an un-replayable key history as in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10049.

## Problem
In some cases, we were returning a very shallow error like `error
sending request for url (XXX)`, which made it very hard to figure out
the actual error.
## Summary of changes
Use `{:?}` in a few places, and remove it from places where we were
printing a string anyway.
Related to #10308, we might have legitimate changes in file size or
generation. Those changes should not cause warn log lines.
In order to detect changes of the generation number while the file size
stayed the same, load the metadata that we store on disk on loading of
the timeline.
Still do a comparison with the on-disk layer sizes to find any
discrepancies that might occur due to race conditions (new metadata file
gets written but layer file has not been updated yet, and PS shuts
down). However, as it's possible to hit it in a race conditon, downgrade
it to a warning.
Also fix a mistake in #10529: we want to compare the old with the new
metadata, not the old metadata with itself.
## Problem
The client code for `tenant-set-preferred-az` declared response type
`()`, so printed a spurious error on each use:
```
Error: receive body: error decoding response body: invalid type: map, expected unit at line 1 column 0
```
The requests were successful anyway.
## Summary of changes
- Declare the proper return type, so that the command succeeds quietly.
## Problem
We don't have per-timeline observability for read amplification.
Touches https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/23283.
## Summary of changes
Add a per-timeline `pageserver_layers_per_read` histogram.
NB: per-timeline histograms are expensive, but probably worth it in this
case.
## Problem
We suspect that Postgres checkpoints will limit the number of page
deltas necessary to reconstruct a page, but don't know for certain.
Touches https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/23283.
## Summary of changes
Add `pageserver_deltas_per_read_global` metric.
This pairs with `pageserver_layers_per_read_global` from #10573.
## Problem
The current global `pageserver_layers_visited_per_vectored_read_global`
metric does not appear to accurately measure read amplification. It
divides the layer count by the number of reads in a batch, but this
means that e.g. 10 reads with 100 L0 layers will only measure a read amp
of 10 per read, while the actual read amp was 100.
While the cost of layer visits are amortized across the batch, and some
layers may not intersect with a given key, each visited layer
contributes directly to the observed latency for every read in the
batch, which is what we care about.
Touches https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/23283.
Extracted from #10566.
## Summary of changes
* Count the number of layers visited towards each read in the batch,
instead of the average across the batch.
* Rename `pageserver_layers_visited_per_vectored_read_global` to
`pageserver_layers_per_read_global`.
* Reduce the read amp log warning threshold down from 512 to 100.
## Problem
Follow up of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10550 in case the
upper limit is set larger than threshold. It does not make sense for
someone to enforce the behavior like "if there are >= 50 L0s, only
compact 10 of them".
## Summary of changes
Use the maximum of compaction threshold and upper limit when selecting
L0 files to compact.

## Problem
Repartition is slow, but it's only used in image layer creation. We can
skip it if we have a lot of L0 layers to ingest.

image layers.

## Problem
We don't have good observability for per-timeline compaction debt,
specifically the number of delta layers in the frozen, L0, and L1
levels.
Touches https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/23283.
## Summary of changes
* Add a `level` label for `pageserver_layer_{count,size}` with values
`l0`, `l1`, and `frozen`.
* Track metrics for frozen layers.
There is already a `kind={delta,image}` label. `kind=image` is only
possible for `level=l1`.
We don't include the currently open ephemeral layer, only frozen layers.
There is always exactly 1 ephemeral layer, with a dynamic size which is
already tracked in `pageserver_timeline_ephemeral_bytes`.
## Problem
benchmarking.yml so far is only running benchmarks with PostgreSQL
version 16.
However neon recently changed the default for new customers to
PostgreSQL version 17.
See related [epic](https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/23295)
## Summary of changes
We do not want to run every job step with both pg 16 and 17 because this
would need excessive resources (runners, computes) and extend the
benchmarking run wall clock time too much.
So we select an opinionated subset of testcases that we also report in
weekly reporting and add a postgres v17 job step.
For re-use projects associated Neon projects have been created and
connection strings have been added to neon database organization
secrets.
A follow up is to add the reporting for these new runs to some grafana
dashboards.
## Problem
1. d04d924 added separate metrics for total requests and failures
separately, but it doesn't make much sense. We could just have a unified
counter with `http_status`.
2. `test_compute_migrations_retry` had a race, i.e., it was waiting for
the last successful migration, not an actual failure. This was revealed
after adding an assert on failure metric in d04d924.
## Summary of changes
1. Switch to unified counters for `compute_ctl` requests.
2. Add a waiting loop into `test_compute_migrations_retry` to eliminate
the race.

In #10308, we noticed many warnings about the local layer having
different sizes on-disk compared to the metadata.
However, the layer downloader would never redownload layer files if the
sizes or generation numbers change. This is obviously a bug, which we
aim to fix with this PR.
This change also moves the code deciding what to do about a layer to a
dedicated function: before we handled the "routing" via control flow,
but now it's become too complicated and it is nicer to have the
different verdicts for a layer spelled out in a list/match.
This reverts commit 9e55d79803.
We'll still need this until we can tune L0 flush backpressure and
compaction. I'll add a setting to disable this separately.

Replaces https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10509
Test run https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/actions/runs/12986410381
We now don't need libpq any more for the build of the storage
controller, as we use `diesel-async` since #10280. Therefore, we remove
the env var that gave cargo/rustc the location for libpq.
Follow-up of #10280
During broker deploys, pageservers log this noisy WARN en masse.
I can trivially reproduce the WARN message in neon_local by SIGKILLing
broker during e.g. `pgbench -i`.
I don't understand why tonic is not detecting the error as
`Code::Unavailable`.
Until we find time to understand that / fix upstream, this PR adds the
error message to the existing list of known error messages that get
demoted to INFO level.

## Problem
We were logging a warning after a single request timeout, while listing
objects.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10166
## Summary of changes
- These timeouts are a pretty normal part of life, so back it off to
only log a warning after two in a row.
## Problem
From time to time, folks discover our `control_plane/` folder and make
the (reasonable) mistake of thinking it's a tool for running full-sized
Neon systems, whereas in reality it is a tool for dev/test.
## Summary of changes
- Change control_plane's readme title to "Local Development Control
Plane (`neon_local`)`
- Change "Running local installation" to "Running a local development
environment" in the main readme
## Problem
The intent of this parameter is to have pageservers consider themselves
"full" if they've got lots of shards, even if they have plenty of
capacity. It works, but because we typically successfully oversubscribe
capacity up to 200%, the MAX_SHARDS limit is effectively doubled, so
this 20,000 value ends up meaning 40,000, whereas the original intent
was to limit nodes to ~10000 shards.
## Summary of changes
- Change MAX_SHARDS to 5000, so that a node with 5000 will get a 100%
utilization, which is equivalent in practice to being considered "half
full" by the storage controller in capacity terms.
This is all a bit subtle and indiret. Originally the limit was baked
into the pageserver with the idea that the pageserver knows better what
its own resources tolerate than the storage controller does, but in
practice it would be probably be easier to understand all this if we
just did it controller-side. So there's scope to refactor here in
future.
Switches the storcon away from using diesel's synchronous APIs in favour
of `diesel-async`.
Advantages:
* less C dependencies, especially no openssl, which might be behind the
bug: https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/21010
* Better to only have async than mix of async plus `spawn_blocking`
We had to turn off usage of the connection pool for migrations, as
diesel migrations don't support async APIs. Thus we still use
`spawn_blocking` in that one place. But this is explicitly done in one
of the `diesel-async` examples.
## Problem
In ingest benchmarks, we see L0 compaction delays of over 10 minutes due
to image compaction. We can't stall L0 flushes for that long.
## Summary of changes
Disable L0 flush stalls, and bump the default L0 flush delay threshold
from 20 to 30 L0 layers.
## Problem
If compaction fails, we disable L0 flush stalls to avoid persistent
stalls. However, the logic would unset the failure marker on offload
failures or shutdown. This can lead to sudden L0 flush stalls if we try
and fail to offload a timeline with compaction failures, or if there is
some kind of shutdown race.
Touches #10405.
## Summary of changes
Don't touch the compaction failure marker on offload failures or
shutdown.
## Problem
After talking about it again with @bayandin again this should replace
the changes from https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10475. While
the previous changes worked, they are less visually clear in what
happens, and we might end up in a situation where we update `latest`,
but don't actually have the tagged image pushed that contains the same
changes. The latter would result in potentially hard to debug
situations.
## Summary of changes
Revert c283aaaf8d and make
promote-images-prod depend on promote-images-dev instead.
## Problem
The containers' log output is mixed with the tests' output, so you must
scroll up to find the error.
## Summary of changes
Printing of containers' logs moved to a separate step.
Note: this has to merge after the release is cut on `2025-01-17` for
compat tests to start passing.
## Problem
SK wal reader fan-out is not enabled in tests by default.
## Summary of changes
Enable it.
## Problem
There is no direct backpressure for compaction and L0 read
amplification. This allows a large buildup of compaction debt and read
amplification.
Resolves#5415.
Requires #10402.
## Summary of changes
Delay layer flushes based on the number of level 0 delta layers:
* `l0_flush_delay_threshold`: delay flushes such that they take 2x as
long (default `2 * compaction_threshold`).
* `l0_flush_stall_threshold`: stall flushes until level 0 delta layers
drop below threshold (default `4 * compaction_threshold`).
If either threshold is reached, ephemeral layer rolls also synchronously
wait for layer flushes to propagate this backpressure up into WAL
ingestion. This will bound the number of frozen layers to 1 once
backpressure kicks in, since all other frozen layers must flush before
the rolled layer.
## Analysis
This will significantly change the compute backpressure characteristics.
Recall the three compute backpressure knobs:
* `max_replication_write_lag`: 500 MB (based on Pageserver
`last_received_lsn`).
* `max_replication_flush_lag`: 10 GB (based on Pageserver
`disk_consistent_lsn`).
* `max_replication_apply_lag`: disabled (based on Pageserver
`remote_consistent_lsn`).
Previously, the Pageserver would keep ingesting WAL and build up
ephemeral layers and L0 layers until the compute hit
`max_replication_flush_lag` at 10 GB and began backpressuring. Now, once
we delay/stall WAL ingestion, the compute will begin backpressuring
after `max_replication_write_lag`, i.e. 500 MB. This is probably a good
thing (we're not building up a ton of compaction debt), but we should
consider tuning these settings.
`max_replication_flush_lag` probably doesn't serve a purpose anymore,
and we should consider removing it.
Furthermore, the removal of the upload barrier in #10402 will mean that
we no longer backpressure flushes based on S3 uploads, since
`max_replication_apply_lag` is disabled. We should consider enabling
this as well.
### When and what do we compact?
Default compaction settings:
* `compaction_threshold`: 10 L0 delta layers.
* `compaction_period`: 20 seconds (between each compaction loop check).
* `checkpoint_distance`: 256 MB (size of L0 delta layers).
* `l0_flush_delay_threshold`: 20 L0 delta layers.
* `l0_flush_stall_threshold`: 40 L0 delta layers.
Compaction characteristics:
* Minimum compaction volume: 10 layers * 256 MB = 2.5 GB.
* Additional compaction volume (assuming 128 MB/s WAL): 128 MB/s * 20
seconds = 2.5 GB (10 L0 layers).
* Required compaction bandwidth: 5.0 GB / 20 seconds = 256 MB/s.
### When do we hit `max_replication_write_lag`?
Depending on how fast compaction and flushes happens, the compute will
backpressure somewhere between `l0_flush_delay_threshold` or
`l0_flush_stall_threshold` + `max_replication_write_lag`.
* Minimum compute backpressure lag: 20 layers * 256 MB + 500 MB = 5.6 GB
* Maximum compute backpressure lag: 40 layers * 256 MB + 500 MB = 10.0
GB
This seems like a reasonable range to me.
This reapplies #10135. Just removing this flush backpressure without
further mitigations caused read amp increases during bulk ingestion
(predictably), so it was reverted. We will replace it by
compaction-based backpressure.
## Problem
In #8550, we made the flush loop wait for uploads after every layer.
This was to avoid unbounded buildup of uploads, and to reduce compaction
debt. However, the approach has several problems:
* It prevents upload parallelism.
* It prevents flush and upload pipelining.
* It slows down ingestion even when there is no need to backpressure.
* It does not directly backpressure based on compaction debt and read
amplification.
We will instead implement compaction-based backpressure in a PR
immediately following this removal (#5415).
Touches #5415.
Touches #10095.
## Summary of changes
Remove waiting on the upload queue in the flush loop.
## Problem
If gc-compaction decides to rewrite an image layer, it will now cause
index_part to lose reference to that layer. In details,
* Assume there's only one image layer of key 0000...AAAA at LSN 0x100
and generation 0xA in the system.
* gc-compaction kicks in at gc-horizon 0x100, and then produce
0000...AAAA at LSN 0x100 and generation 0xB.
* It submits a compaction result update into the index part that unlinks
0000-AAAA-100-A and adds 0000-AAAA-100-B
On the remote storage / local disk side, this is fine -- it unlinks
things correctly and uploads the new file. However, the
`index_part.json` itself doesn't record generations. The buggy procedure
is as follows:
1. upload the new file
2. update the index part to remove the old file and add the new file
3. remove the new file
Therefore, the correct update result process for gc-compaction should be
as follows:
* When modifying the layer map, delete the old one and upload the new
one.
* When updating the index, uploading the new one in the index without
deleting the old one.
## Summary of changes
* Modify `finish_gc_compaction` to correctly order insertions and
deletions.
* Update the way gc-compaction uploads the layer files.
* Add new tests.

We've finally transitioned to using a separate `release-compute` branch.
Now, we can finally automatically create release PRs on Fri and release

Drop logical replication subscribers
before compute starts on a non-main branch.
Add new compute_ctl spec flag: drop_subscriptions_before_start
If it is set, drop all the subscriptions from the compute node
before it starts.
To avoid race on compute start, use new GUC
neon.disable_logical_replication_subscribers
to temporarily disable logical replication workers until we drop the
subscriptions.
Ensure that we drop subscriptions exactly once when endpoint starts on a
new branch.
It is essential, because otherwise, we may drop not only inherited, but
newly created subscriptions.
We cannot rely only on spec.drop_subscriptions_before_start flag,
because if for some reason compute restarts inside VM,
it will start again with the same spec and flag value.
To handle this, we save the fact of the operation in the database
in the neon.drop_subscriptions_done table.
If the table does not exist, we assume that the operation was never
performed, so we must do it.
If table exists, we check if the operation was performed on the current
timeline.
fixes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8790
## Problem
Not really a bug fix, but hopefully can reproduce
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10482 more.
If the layer map does not contain layers that end at exactly the end
range of the compaction job, the current split algorithm will produce
the last job that ends at the maximum layer key. This patch extends it
all the way to the compaction job end key.
For example, the user requests a compaction of 0000...FFFF. However, we
only have a layer 0000..3000 in the layer map, and the split job will
have a range of 0000..3000 instead of 0000..FFFF.
This is not a correctness issue but it would be better to fix it so that
we can get consistent job splits.
## Summary of changes
Compaction job split will always cover the full specified key range.

## Problem
PR #10457 was supposed to fix the flakiness of
`test_scrubber_physical_gc_ancestors`, but instead it made it even more
flaky. However, the original error causes disappeared, now to be
replaced by key not found errors.
See this for a longer explanation:
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10391#issuecomment-2608018967
## Solution
This does one churn rows after all compactions, and before we do any
timeline gc's. That way, we remain more accessible at older lsn's.
## Problem
The trust connection to the compute required for `pg_anon` was removed.
However, the PGPASSWORD environment variable was not added to
`docker-compose.yml`.
This caused connection errors, which were interpreted as success due to
errors in the bash script.
## Summary of changes
The environment variable was added, and the logic in the bash script was
fixed.
## Problem
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/actions/runs/12896686483/job/35961290336#step:5:107
showed that `promote-images-prod` was missing another dependency.
## Summary of changes
Modify `promote-images-prod` to tag based on docker-hub images, so that
`promote-images-prod` does not rely on `promote-images-dev`. The result
should be the exact same, but allows the two jobs to run in parallel.

## Problem
The read path does its IOs sequentially.
This means that if N values need to be read to reconstruct a page,
we will do N IOs and getpage latency is `O(N*IoLatency)`.
## Solution
With this PR we gain the ability to issue IO concurrently within one
layer visit **and** to move on to the next layer without waiting for IOs
from the previous visit to complete.
This is an evolved version of the work done at the Lisbon hackathon,
cf https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9002.
## Design
### `will_init` now sourced from disk btree index keys
On the algorithmic level, the only change is that the
`get_values_reconstruct_data`
now sources `will_init` from the disk btree index key (which is
PS-page_cache'd), instead
of from the `Value`, which is only available after the IO completes.
### Concurrent IOs, Submission & Completion
To separate IO submission from waiting for its completion, while
simultaneously
feature-gating the change, we introduce the notion of an `IoConcurrency`
struct
through which IO futures are "spawned".
An IO is an opaque future, and waiting for completions is handled
through
`tokio::sync::oneshot` channels.
The oneshot Receiver's take the place of the `img` and `records` fields
inside `VectoredValueReconstructState`.
When we're done visiting all the layers and submitting all the IOs along
the way
we concurrently `collect_pending_ios` for each value, which means
for each value there is a future that awaits all the oneshot receivers
and then calls into walredo to reconstruct the page image.
Walredo is now invoked concurrently for each value instead of
sequentially.
Walredo itself remains unchanged.
The spawned IO futures are driven to completion by a sidecar tokio task
that
is separate from the task that performs all the layer visiting and
spawning of IOs.
That tasks receives the IO futures via an unbounded mpsc channel and
drives them to completion inside a `FuturedUnordered`.
(The behavior from before this PR is available through
`IoConcurrency::Sequential`,
which awaits the IO futures in place, without "spawning" or "submitting"
them
anywhere.)
#### Alternatives Explored
A few words on the rationale behind having a sidecar *task* and what
alternatives were considered.
One option is to queue up all IO futures in a FuturesUnordered that is
polled
the first time when we `collect_pending_ios`.
Firstly, the IO futures are opaque, compiler-generated futures that need
to be polled at least once to submit their IO. "At least once" because
tokio-epoll-uring may not be able to submit the IO to the kernel on
first
poll right away.
Second, there are deadlocks if we don't drive the IO futures to
completion
independently of the spawning task.
The reason is that both the IO futures and the spawning task may hold
some
_and_ try to acquire _more_ shared limited resources.
For example, both spawning task and IO future may try to acquire
* a VirtualFile file descriptor cache slot async mutex (observed during
impl)
* a tokio-epoll-uring submission slot (observed during impl)
* a PageCache slot (currently this is not the case but we may move more
code into the IO futures in the future)
Another option is to spawn a short-lived `tokio::task` for each IO
future.
We implemented and benchmarked it during development, but found little
throughput improvement and moderate mean & tail latency degradation.
Concerns about pressure on the tokio scheduler made us discard this
variant.
The sidecar task could be obsoleted if the IOs were not arbitrary code
but a well-defined struct.
However,
1. the opaque futures approach taken in this PR allows leaving the
existing
code unchanged, which
2. allows us to implement the `IoConcurrency::Sequential` mode for
feature-gating
the change.
Once the new mode sidecar task implementation is rolled out everywhere,
and `::Sequential` removed, we can think about a descriptive submission
& completion interface.
The problems around deadlocks pointed out earlier will need to be solved
then.
For example, we could eliminate VirtualFile file descriptor cache and
tokio-epoll-uring slots.
The latter has been drafted in
https://github.com/neondatabase/tokio-epoll-uring/pull/63.
See the lengthy doc comment on `spawn_io()` for more details.
### Error handling
There are two error classes during reconstruct data retrieval:
* traversal errors: index lookup, move to next layer, and the like
* value read IO errors
A traversal error fails the entire get_vectored request, as before this
PR.
A value read error only fails that value.
In any case, we preserve the existing behavior that once
`get_vectored` returns, all IOs are done. Panics and failing
to poll `get_vectored` to completion will leave the IOs dangling,
which is safe but shouldn't happen, and so, a rate-limited
log statement will be emitted at warning level.
There is a doc comment on `collect_pending_ios` giving more code-level
details and rationale.
### Feature Gating
The new behavior is opt-in via pageserver config.
The `Sequential` mode is the default.
The only significant change in `Sequential` mode compared to before
this PR is the buffering of results in the `oneshot`s.
## Code-Level Changes
Prep work:
* Make `GateGuard` clonable.
Core Feature:
* Traversal code: track `will_init` in `BlobMeta` and source it from
the Delta/Image/InMemory layer index, instead of determining `will_init`
after we've read the value. This avoids having to read the value to
determine whether traversal can stop.
* Introduce `IoConcurrency` & its sidecar task.
* `IoConcurrency` is the clonable handle.
* It connects to the sidecar task via an `mpsc`.
* Plumb through `IoConcurrency` from high level code to the
individual layer implementations' `get_values_reconstruct_data`.
We piggy-back on the `ValuesReconstructState` for this.
* The sidecar task should be long-lived, so, `IoConcurrency` needs
to be rooted up "high" in the call stack.
* Roots as of this PR:
* `page_service`: outside of pagestream loop
* `create_image_layers`: when it is called
* `basebackup`(only auxfiles + replorigin + SLRU segments)
* Code with no roots that uses `IoConcurrency::sequential`
* any `Timeline::get` call
* `collect_keyspace` is a good example
* follow-up: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10460
* `TimelineAdaptor` code used by the compaction simulator, unused in
practive
* `ingest_xlog_dbase_create`
* Transform Delta/Image/InMemoryLayer to
* do their values IO in a distinct `async {}` block
* extend the residence of the Delta/Image layer until the IO is done
* buffer their results in a `oneshot` channel instead of straight
in `ValuesReconstructState`
* the `oneshot` channel is wrapped in `OnDiskValueIo` /
`OnDiskValueIoWaiter`
types that aid in expressiveness and are used to keep track of
in-flight IOs so we can print warnings if we leave them dangling.
* Change `ValuesReconstructState` to hold the receiving end of the
`oneshot` channel aka `OnDiskValueIoWaiter`.
* Change `get_vectored_impl` to `collect_pending_ios` and issue walredo
concurrently, in a `FuturesUnordered`.
Testing / Benchmarking:
* Support queue-depth in pagebench for manual benchmarkinng.
* Add test suite support for setting concurrency mode ps config
field via a) an env var and b) via NeonEnvBuilder.
* Hacky helper to have sidecar-based IoConcurrency in tests.
This will be cleaned up later.
More benchmarking will happen post-merge in nightly benchmarks, plus in
staging/pre-prod.
Some intermediate helpers for manual benchmarking have been preserved in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10466 and will be landed in
later PRs.
(L0 layer stack generator!)
Drive-By:
* test suite actually didn't enable batching by default because
`config.compatibility_neon_binpath` is always Truthy in our CI
environment
=> https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C059ZC138NR/p1737490501941309
* initial logical size calculation wasn't always polled to completion,
which was
surfaced through the added WARN logs emitted when dropping a
`ValuesReconstructState` that still has inflight IOs.
* remove the timing histograms
`pageserver_getpage_get_reconstruct_data_seconds`
and `pageserver_getpage_reconstruct_seconds` because with planning,
value read
IO, and walredo happening concurrently, one can no longer attribute
latency
to any one of them; we'll revisit this when Vlad's work on
tracing/sampling
through RequestContext lands.
* remove code related to `get_cached_lsn()`.
The logic around this has been dead at runtime for a long time,
ever since the removal of the materialized page cache in #8105.
## Testing
Unit tests use the sidecar task by default and run both modes in CI.
Python regression tests and benchmarks also use the sidecar task by
default.
We'll test more in staging and possibly preprod.
# Future Work
Please refer to the parent epic for the full plan.
The next step will be to fold the plumbing of IoConcurrency
into RequestContext so that the function signatures get cleaned up.
Once `Sequential` isn't used anymore, we can take the next
big leap which is replacing the opaque IOs with structs
that have well-defined semantics.

## Problem
Both these versions are binary compatible, but the way pgvector
structures the SQL files forbids installing 0.7.4 if you have a 0.8.0
distribution. Yet, some users may need a previous version for backward
compatibility, e.g., restoring the dump.
See this thread for discussion
https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C04DGM6SMTM/p1735911490242919?thread_ts=1731343604.259169&cid=C04DGM6SMTM
## Summary of changes
Put `vector--0.7.4.sql` file into compute image to allow installing this
version as well.
Tested on staging and it seems to be working as expected:
```sql
select * from pg_available_extensions where name = 'vector';
name | default_version | installed_version | comment
--------+-----------------+-------------------+------------------------------------------------------
vector | 0.8.0 | (null) | vector data type and ivfflat and hnsw access methods
create extension vector version '0.7.4';
select * from pg_available_extensions where name = 'vector';
name | default_version | installed_version | comment
--------+-----------------+-------------------+------------------------------------------------------
vector | 0.8.0 | 0.7.4 | vector data type and ivfflat and hnsw access methods
alter extension vector update;
select * from pg_available_extensions where name = 'vector';
name | default_version | installed_version | comment
--------+-----------------+-------------------+------------------------------------------------------
vector | 0.8.0 | 0.8.0 | vector data type and ivfflat and hnsw access methods
drop extension vector;
create extension vector;
select * from pg_available_extensions where name = 'vector';
name | default_version | installed_version | comment
--------+-----------------+-------------------+------------------------------------------------------
vector | 0.8.0 | 0.8.0 | vector data type and ivfflat and hnsw access methods
```
If we find out it's a good approach, we can adopt the same for other
extensions with a stable ABI -- support both `current` and `current - 1`
releases.

# Problem
Before this PR, when task_mgr shutdown is signalled, e.g. during
pageserver shutdown or Tenant shutdown, initial logical size calculation
stops polling and drops the future that represents the calculation.
This is against the current policy that we poll all futures to
completion.
This became apparent during development of concurrent IO which warns if
we drop a `Timeline::get_vectored` future that still has in-flight IOs.
We may revise the policy in the future, but, right now initial logical
size calculation is the only part of the codebase that doesn't adhere to
the policy, so let's fix it.
## Code Changes
- make sensitive exclusively to `Timeline::cancel`
- This should be sufficient for all cases of shutdowns; the sensitivity
to task_mgr shutdown is unnecessary.
- this broke the various cancel tests in `test_timeline_size.py`, e.g.,
`test_timeline_initial_logical_size_calculation_cancellation`
- the tests would time out because the await point was not sensitive to
cancellation
- to fix this, refactor `pausable_failpoint` so that it accepts a
cancellation token
- side note: we _really_ should write our own failpoint library; maybe
after we get heap-allocated RequestContext, we can plumb failpoints
through there.
## Problem
PR #9993 was supposed to enable `page_service_pipelining` by default for
all `NeonEnv`s, but this was ineffective in our CI environment.
Thus, CI Python-based tests and benchmarks, unless explicitly
configuring pipelining, were still using serial protocol handling.
## Analysis
The root cause was that in our CI environment,
`config.compatibility_neon_binpath` is always Truthy.
It's not in local environments, which is why this slipped through in
local testing.
Lesson: always add a log line ot pageserver startup and spot-check tests
to ensure the intended default is picked up.
## Summary of changes
Fix it. Since enough time has passed, the compatiblity snapshot contains
a recent enough software version so we don't need to worry about
`compatibility_neon_binpath` anymore.
## Future Work
The question how to add a new default except for compatibliity tests,
which is what the broken code was supposed to do, is still unsolved.

## Problem
Currently, the layer flush loop will continue flushing layers as long as
any are pending, and only notify waiters once there are no further
layers to flush. This can cause waiters to wait longer than necessary,
and potentially starve them if pending layers keep arriving faster than
they can be flushed. The impact of this will increase when we add
compaction backpressure and propagate it up into the WAL receiver.
Extracted from #10405.
## Summary of changes
Break out of the layer flush loop once we've flushed up to the requested
LSN. If further flush requests have arrived in the meanwhile, flushing
will resume immediately after.
## Problem
For compaction backpressure, we need a mechanism to signal when
compaction has reduced the L0 delta layer count below the backpressure
threshold.
Extracted from #10405.
## Summary of changes
Add `LayerMap::watch_level0_deltas()` which returns a
`tokio::sync:⌚:Receiver` signalling the current L0 delta layer
count.
## Problem
It's sometimes useful to obtain the elapsed duration from a
`StorageTimeMetricsTimer` for purposes beyond just recording it in
metrics (e.g. to log it).
Extracted from #10405.
## Summary of changes
Add `StorageTimeMetricsTimer.elapsed()` and return the duration from
`stop_and_record()`.
## Problem

The automatic trigger is already implemented at

## Problem
We are removing the `pg_anon` v1 extension from Neon. So we don't need
to test it anymore and can remove the code for simplicity.
## Summary of changes
The code required for testing `pg_anon` is removed.
We did not have any tests on fast_import binary yet.
In this PR I have introduced:
- `FastImport` class and tools for testing in python
- basic test that runs fast import against vanilla postgres and checks
that data is there
Should be merged after https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10251
We currently have some flakiness in
`test_scrubber_physical_gc_ancestors`, see #10391.
The first flakiness kind is about the reconciler not actually becoming
idle within the timeout of 30 seconds. We see continuous forward
progress so this is likely not a hang. We also see this happen in
parallel to a test failure, so is likely due to runners being
overloaded. Therefore, we increase the timeout.
The second flakiness kind is an assertion failure. This one is a little
bit more tricky, but we saw in the successful run that there was some
advance of the lsn between the compaction ran (which created layer
files) and the gc run. Apparently gc rejects reductions to the single
image layer setting if the cutoff lsn is the same as the lsn of the
image layer: it will claim that that layer is newer than the space
cutoff and therefore skip it, while thinking the old layer (that we want
to delete) is the latest one (so it's not deleted).
We address the second flakiness kind by inserting a tiny amount of WAL
between the compaction and gc. This should hopefully fix things.
Related issue: #10391
(not closing it with the merger of the PR as we'll need to validate that
these changes had the intended effect).
Thanks to Chi for going over this together with me in a call.
## Problem
When releasing `release-7574`, the Github Release creation failed with
"body is too long" (see
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/actions/runs/12834025431/job/35792346745#step:5:77).
There's lots of room for improvement of the release notes, but for now
we'll disable them instead.
## Summary of changes
- Disable automatic generation of release notes for Github releases
- Enable creation of Github releases for proxy/compute
This simplifies the code in `pageserver_physical_gc` a little bit after
the feedback in #10007 that the code is too complicated.
Most importantly, we don't pass around `GcSummary` any more in a
complicated fashion, and we save on async stream-combinator-inception in
one place in favour of `try_stream!{}`.
Follow-up of #10007
Otherwise we might hit ERRORs in otherwise safe situations (such as user
queries), which isn't a great user experience.

## Problem
We're seeing a panic `handles are only shut down once in their lifetime`
in our performance testbed.
## Hypothesis
Annotated code in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10444#issuecomment-2602286415.
```
T1: drop Cache, executes up to (1)
=> HandleInner is now in state ShutDown
T2: Timeline::shutdown => PerTimelineState::shutdown executes shutdown() again => panics
```
Likely this snuck in the final touches of #10386 where I narrowed down
the locking rules.
## Summary of changes
Make duplicate shutdowns a no-op.
## Summary
Whereas currently we send all WAL to all pageserver shards, and each
shard filters out the data that it needs,
in this RFC we add a mechanism to filter the WAL on the safekeeper, so
that each shard receives
only the data it needs.
This will place some extra CPU load on the safekeepers, in exchange for
reducing the network bandwidth
for ingesting WAL back to scaling as O(1) with shard count, rather than
O(N_shards).
Touches #9329.

The other test focus on the external interface usage while the tests
added in this PR add some testing around HandleInner's lifecycle,
ensuring we don't leak it once either connection gets dropped or
per-timeline-state is shut down explicitly.
It was requested by review in #10305 to use an enum or something like it
for distinguishing the different modes instead of two parameters,
because two flags allow four combinations, and two of them don't really
make sense/ aren't used.

## Problem
Since #9916 , the chaos code is actively fighting the optimizer: tenants
tend to be attached in their preferred AZ, so most chaos migrations were
moving them to a non-preferred AZ.
## Summary of changes
- When picking migrations, prefer to migrate things _toward_ their
preferred AZ when possible. Then pick shards to move the other way when
necessary.
The resulting behavior should be an alternating "back and forth" where
the chaos code migrates thiings away from home, and then migrates them
back on the next iteration.
The side effect will be that the chaos code actively helps to push
things into their home AZ. That's not contrary to its purpose though: we
mainly just want it to continuously migrate things to exercise
migration+notification code.
## Problem
Occasionally, we encounter bugs in test environments that can be
detected at the point of uploading an index, but we proceed to upload it
anyway and leave a tenant in a broken state that's awkward to handle.
## Summary of changes
- Validate index when submitting it for upload, so that we can see the
issue quickly e.g. in an API invoking compaction
- Validate index before executing the upload, so that we have a hard
enforcement that any code path that tries to upload an index will not
overwrite a valid index with an invalid one.
Add an endpoint to obtain the utilization of a safekeeper. Future
changes to the storage controller can use this endpoint to find the most
suitable safekeepers for newly created timelines, analogously to how
it's done for pageservers already.
Initially we just want to assign by timeline count, then we can iterate
from there.

## Problem
871e8b325f failed CI on main because a job
ran to soon. This was caused by
ea84ec357f. While `promote-images-dev`
does not inherently need `neon-image`, a few jobs depending on
`promote-images-dev` do need it, and previously had it when it was
`promote-images`, which depended on `test-images`, which in turn
depended on `neon-image`.
## Summary of changes
To ensure jobs depending `docker.io/neondatabase/neon` images get them,
`promote-images-dev` gets the dependency to `neon-image` back which it
previously had transitively through `test-images`.
Instead of generating our own request ID, we can just use the one
provided by the control plane. In the event, we get a request from a
client which doesn't set X-Request-ID, then we just generate one which
is useful for tracing purposes.

# Problem
`Tenant::shutdown` was occasionally taking many minutes (sometimes up to
20) in staging and prod if the
`page_service_pipelining.mode="concurrent-futures"` is enabled.
# Symptoms
The issue happens during shard migration between pageservers.
There is page_service unavailability and hence effectively downtime for
customers in the following case:
1. The source (state `AttachedStale`) gets stuck in `Tenant::shutdown`,
waiting for the gate to close.
2. Cplane/Storcon decides to transition the target `AttachedMulti` to
`AttachedSingle`.
3. That transition comes with a bump of the generation number, causing
the `PUT .../location_config` endpoint to do a full `Tenant::shutdown` /
`Tenant::attach` cycle for the target location.
4. That `Tenant::shutdown` on the target gets stuck, waiting for the
gate to close.
5. Eventually the gate closes (`close completed`), correlating with a
`page_service` connection handler logging that it's exiting because of a
network error (`Connection reset by peer` or `Broken pipe`).
While in (4):
- `Tenant::shutdown` is stuck waiting for all `Timeline::shutdown` calls
to complete.
So, really, this is a `Timeline::shutdown` bug.
- retries from Cplane/Storcon to complete above state transitions, fail
with errors related to the tenant mgr slot being in state
`TenantSlot::InProgress`, the tenant state being
`TenantState::Stopping`, and the timelines being in
`TimelineState::Stopping`, and the `Timeline::cancel` being cancelled.
- Existing (and/or new?) page_service connections log errors `error
reading relation or page version: Not found: Timed out waiting 30s for
tenant active state. Latest state: None`
# Root-Cause
After a lengthy investigation ([internal
write-up](https://www.notion.so/neondatabase/2025-01-09-batching-deadlock-Slow-Log-Analysis-in-Staging-176f189e00478050bc21c1a072157ca4?pvs=4))
I arrived at the following root cause.
The `spsc_fold` channel (`batch_tx`/`batch_rx`) that connects the
Batcher and Executor stages of the pipelined mode was storing a `Handle`
and thus `GateGuard` of the Timeline that was not shutting down.
The design assumption with pipelining was that this would always be a
short transient state.
However, that was incorrect: the Executor was stuck on writing/flushing
an earlier response into the connection to the client, i.e., socket
write being slow because of TCP backpressure.
The probable scenario of how we end up in that case:
1. Compute backend process sends a continuous stream of getpage prefetch
requests into the connection, but never reads the responses (why this
happens: see Appendix section).
2. Batch N is processed by Batcher and Executor, up to the point where
Executor starts flushing the response.
3. Batch N+1 is procssed by Batcher and queued in the `spsc_fold`.
4. Executor is still waiting for batch N flush to finish.
5. Batcher eventually hits the `TimeoutReader` error (10min).
From here on it waits on the
`spsc_fold.send(Err(QueryError(TimeoutReader_error)))`
which will never finish because the batch already inside the `spsc_fold`
is not
being read by the Executor, because the Executor is still stuck in the
flush.
(This state is not observable at our default `info` log level)
6. Eventually, Compute backend process is killed (`close()` on the
socket) or Compute as a whole gets killed (probably no clean TCP
shutdown happening in that case).
7. Eventually, Pageserver TCP stack learns about (6) through RST packets
and the Executor's flush() call fails with an error.
8. The Executor exits, dropping `cancel_batcher` and its end of the
spsc_fold.
This wakes Batcher, causing the `spsc_fold.send` to fail.
Batcher exits.
The pipeline shuts down as intended.
We return from `process_query` and log the `Connection reset by peer` or
`Broken pipe` error.
The following diagram visualizes the wait-for graph at (5)
```mermaid
flowchart TD
Batcher --spsc_fold.send(TimeoutReader_error)--> Executor
Executor --flush batch N responses--> socket.write_end
socket.write_end --wait for TCP window to move forward--> Compute
```
# Analysis
By holding the GateGuard inside the `spsc_fold` open, the pipelining
implementation
violated the principle established in
(https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8339).
That is, that `Handle`s must only be held across an await point if that
await point
is sensitive to the `<Handle as Deref<Target=Timeline>>::cancel` token.
In this case, we were holding the Handle inside the `spsc_fold` while
awaiting the
`pgb_writer.flush()` future.
One may jump to the conclusion that we should simply peek into the
spsc_fold to get
that Timeline cancel token and be sensitive to it during flush, then.
But that violates another principle of the design from
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8339.
That is, that the page_service connection lifecycle and the Timeline
lifecycles must be completely decoupled.
Tt must be possible to shut down one shard without shutting down the
page_service connection, because on that single connection we might be
serving other shards attached to this pageserver.
(The current compute client opens separate connections per shard, but,
there are plans to change that.)
# Solution
This PR adds a `handle::WeakHandle` struct that does _not_ hold the
timeline gate open.
It must be `upgrade()`d to get a `handle::Handle`.
That `handle::Handle` _does_ hold the timeline gate open.
The batch queued inside the `spsc_fold` only holds a `WeakHandle`.
We only upgrade it while calling into the various `handle_` methods,
i.e., while interacting with the `Timeline` via `<Handle as
Deref<Target=Timeline>>`.
All that code has always been required to be (and is!) sensitive to
`Timeline::cancel`, and therefore we're guaranteed to bail from it
quickly when `Timeline::shutdown` starts.
We will drop the `Handle` immediately, before we start
`pgb_writer.flush()`ing the responses.
Thereby letting go of our hold on the `GateGuard`, allowing the timeline
shutdown to complete while the page_service handler remains intact.
# Code Changes
* Reproducer & Regression Test
* Developed and proven to reproduce the issue in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10399
* Add a `Test` message to the pagestream protocol (`cfg(feature =
"testing")`).
* Drive-by minimal improvement to the parsing code, we now have a
`PagestreamFeMessageTag`.
* Refactor `pageserver/client` to allow sending and receiving
`page_service` requests independently.
* Add a Rust helper binary to produce situation (4) from above
* Rationale: (4) and (5) are the same bug class, we're holding a gate
open while `flush()`ing.
* Add a Python regression test that uses the helper binary to
demonstrate the problem.
* Fix
* Introduce and use `WeakHandle` as explained earlier.
* Replace the `shut_down` atomic with two enum states for `HandleInner`,
wrapped in a `Mutex`.
* To make `WeakHandle::upgrade()` and `Handle::downgrade()`
cache-efficient:
* Wrap the `Types::Timeline` in an `Arc`
* Wrap the `GateGuard` in an `Arc`
* The separate `Arc`s enable uncontended cloning of the timeline
reference in `upgrade()` and `downgrade()`.
If instead we were `Arc<Timeline>::clone`, different connection handlers
would be hitting the same cache line on every upgrade()/downgrade(),
causing contention.
* Please read the udpated module-level comment in `mod handle`
module-level comment for details.
# Testing & Performance
The reproducer test that failed before the changes now passes, and
obviously other tests are passing as well.
We'll do more testing in staging, where the issue happens every ~4h if
chaos migrations are enabled in storcon.
Existing perf testing will be sufficient, no perf degradation is
expected.
It's a few more alloctations due to the added Arc's, but, they're low
frequency.
# Appendix: Why Compute Sometimes Doesn't Read Responses
Remember, the whole problem surfaced because flush() was slow because
Compute was not reading responses. Why is that?
In short, the way the compute works, it only advances the page_service
protocol processing when it has an interest in data, i.e., when the
pagestore smgr is called to return pages.
Thus, if compute issues a bunch of requests as part of prefetch but then
it turns out it can service the query without reading those pages, it
may very well happen that these messages stay in the TCP until the next
smgr read happens, either in that session, or possibly in another
session.
If there’s too many unread responses in the TCP, the pageserver kernel
is going to backpressure into userspace, resulting in our stuck flush().
All of this stems from the way vanilla Postgres does prefetching and
"async IO":
it issues `fadvise()` to make the kernel do the IO in the background,
buffering results in the kernel page cache.
It then consumes the results through synchronous `read()` system calls,
which hopefully will be fast because of the `fadvise()`.
If it turns out that some / all of the prefetch results are not needed,
Postgres will not be issuing those `read()` system calls.
The kernel will eventually react to that by reusing page cache pages
that hold completed prefetched data.
Uncompleted prefetch requests may or may not be processed -- it's up to
the kernel.
In Neon, the smgr + Pageserver together take on the role of the kernel
in above paragraphs.
In the current implementation, all prefetches are sent as GetPage
requests to Pageserver.
The responses are only processed in the places where vanilla Postgres
would do the synchronous `read()` system call.
If we never get to that, the responses are queued inside the TCP
connection, which, once buffers run full, will backpressure into
Pageserver's sending code, i.e., the `pgb_writer.flush()` that was the
root cause of the problems we're fixing in this PR.
The extension now supports Postgres 17. The release also seems to be
binary compatible with the previous version.

## Problem
`test_storage_controller_node_deletion` sometimes failed because shards
were moving around during timeline creation, and neon_local isn't
tolerant of that. The movements were unexpected because the shards had
only just been created.
This was a regression from #9916Closes: #10383
## Summary of changes
- Make this test use multiple AZs -- this makes the storage controller's
scheduling reliably stable
Why this works: in #9916 , I made a simplifying assumption that we would
have multiple AZs to get nice stable scheduling -- it's much easier,
because each tenant has a well defined primary+secondary location when
they have an AZ preference and nodes have different AZs. Everything
still works if you don't have multiple AZs, but you just have this quirk
that sometimes the optimizer can disagree with initial scheduling, so
once in a while a shard moves after being created -- annoying for tests,
harmless IRL.
## Problem
All pageserver have the same application name which makes it hard to
distinguish them.
## Summary of changes
Include the node id in the application name sent to the safekeeper. This
should gives us
more visibility in logs. There's a few metrics that will increase in
cardinality by `pageserver_count`,
but that's fine.
## Problem
Node fills were limited to moving (total shards / node_count) shards. In
systems that aren't perfectly balanced already, that leads us to skip
migrating some of the shards that belong on this node, generating work
for the optimizer later to gradually move them back.
## Summary of changes
- Where a shard has a preferred AZ and is currently attached outside
this AZ, then always promote it during fill, irrespective of target fill
count
## Problem
We were comparing serialized configs from the database with serialized
configs from memory. If fields have been added/removed to TenantConfig,
this generates spurious consistency errors. This is fine in test
environments, but limits the usefulness of this debug API in the field.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10369
## Summary of changes
- Do a decode/encode cycle on the config before comparing it, so that it
will have exactly the expected fields.
## Problem
gc-compaction needs the partitioning data to decide the job split. This
refactor allows concurrent access/computing the partitioning.
## Summary of changes
Make `partitioning` an ArcSwap so that others can access the
partitioning while we compute it. Fully eliminate the `repartition is
called concurrently` warning when gc-compaction is going on.

Rename the safekeeper scheduling policy "disabled" to "pause".
A rename was requested in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10400#discussion_r1916259124,
as the "disabled" policy is meant to be analogous to the "pause" policy
for pageservers.
Also simplify the `SkSchedulingPolicyArg::from_str` function, relying on
the `from_str` implementation of `SkSchedulingPolicy`. Latter is used
for the database format as well, so it is quite stable. If we ever want
to change the UI, we'll need to duplicate the function again but this is
cheap.
## Problem
Threads spawned in `test_tenant_delete_races_timeline_creation` are not
joined before the test ends, and can generate
`PytestUnhandledThreadExceptionWarning` in other tests.
https://neon-github-public-dev.s3.amazonaws.com/reports/pr-10419/12805365523/index.html#/testresult/53a72568acd04dbd
## Summary of changes
- Wrap threads in ThreadPoolExecutor which will join them before the
test ends
- Remove a spurious deletion call -- the background thread doing
deletion ought to succeed.
## Problem
When multiple changes are grouped in a merge group to be merged as part
of the merge queue, the changes might individually pass
`check-codestyle-rust` but not in their combined form.
## Summary of changes
- Move `check-codestyle-rust` into a reusable workflow that is called
from it's previous location in `build_and_test.yml`, and additionally
call it from `pre_merge_checks.yml`. The additional call does not run on
ARM, only x86, to ensure the merge queue continues being responsive.
- Trigger `pre_merge_checks.yml` on PRs that change any of the workflows
running in `pre_merge_checks.yml`, so that we get feedback on those
early an not only after trying to merge those changes.
This should fix the largest source of flakyness of
test_nbtree_pagesplit_cycleid.
## Problem

## Summary of changes
By using a guaranteed-flushed LSN, we ensure that PS won't have to wait
forever.
(If it does wait forever, we know the issue can't be with Compute's WAL)
## Problem
As part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8614 we need to
pass options to START_WAL_PUSH.
## Summary of changes
Add two options. `allow_timeline_creation`, default true, disables
implicit timeline creation in the connection from compute. Eventually
such creation will be forbidden completely, but as we migrate to
configurations we need to support both: current mode and configurations
enabled where creation by compute is disabled.
`proto_version` specifies compute <-> sk protocol version. We have it
currently in the first greeting package also, but I plan to change tag
size from u64 to u8, which would make it hard to use. Command is more
appropriate place for it anyway.
This reduces pressure on the OS TCP read buffer by increasing the
moments we read data out of the receive buffer, and increasing the
number of bytes we can pull from that buffer when we do reads.
## Problem
A backend may not always consume its prefetch data quick enough
## Summary of changes
We add a new function `prefetch_pump_state` which pulls as many prefetch
requests from the OS TCP receive buffer as possible, but without
blocking.
This thus reduces pressure on OS-level TCP buffers, thus increasing
throughput by limiting throttling caused by full TCP buffers.
## Problem
part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9114
part of investigation of
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10049
## Summary of changes
* If `cfg!(test) or cfg!(feature = testing)`, then we will always try
generating an image to ensure the history is replayable, but not put the
image layer into the final layer results, therefore discovering wrong
key history before we hit a read error.
* I suspect it's easier to trigger some races if gc-compaction is
continuously run on a timeline, so I increased the frequency to twice
per 10 churns.
* Also, create branches in gc-compaction smoke tests to get more test
coverage.

Implementing the last missing endpoint of #9981, this adds support to
set the scheduling policy of an individual safekeeper, as specified in
the RFC. However, unlike in the RFC we call the endpoint
`scheduling_policy` not `status`
Closes#9981.
As for why not use the upsert endpoint for this: we want to have the
safekeeper upsert endpoint be used for testing and for deploying new
safekeepers, but not for changes of the scheduling policy. We don't want
to change any of the other fields when marking a safekeeper as
decommissioned for example, so we'd have to first fetch them only to
then specify them again. Of course one can also design an endpoint where
one can omit any field and it doesn't get modified, but it's still not
great for observability to put everything into one big "change something
about this safekeeper" endpoint.
## Problem
Safekeepers currently decode and interpret WAL for each shard
separately.
This is wasteful in terms of CPU memory usage - we've seen this in
profiles.
## Summary of changes
Fan-out interpreted WAL to multiple shards.
The basic is that wal decoding and interpretation happens in a separate
tokio task and senders
attach to it. Senders only receive batches concerning their shard and
only past the Lsn they've last seen.
Fan-out is gated behind the `wal_reader_fanout` safekeeper flag
(disabled by default for now).
When fan-out is enabled, it might be desirable to control the absolute
delta between the
current position and a new shard's desired position (i.e. how far behind
or ahead a shard may be).
`max_delta_for_fanout` is a new optional safekeeper flag which dictates
whether to create a new
WAL reader or attach to the existing one. By default, this behaviour is
disabled. Let's consider enabling
it if we spot the need for it in the field.
## Testing
Tests passed [here](https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10301)

## Problem
Currently, we call `InterpretedWalRecord::from_bytes_filtered`

may be subscribed at the same time, so doing it efficiently is more
complex.

keep it control_file_upgrade.rs to have it in old upgrade code).
Remove the binary representation of cfile in the roundtrip test.
Updating it is annoying, and we still test the actual roundtrip.
Also add configuration to timeline creation http request, currently used
only in one python test. In passing, slightly change LSNs meaning in the
request: normally start_lsn is passed (the same as ancestor_start_lsn in
similar pageserver call), but we allow specifying higher commit_lsn for
manual intervention if needed. Also when given LSN initialize
term_history with it.
## Problem
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8455 wasn't specific enough on
migration from current situation to enabling generations.
## Summary of changes
Describe the missing parts, including control plane pushing generation
to compute, which also defines whether generations are enabled -- non
zero value does it.
## Problem
For large deployments, the `control/v1/tenant` listing API can time out
transmitting a monolithic serialized response.
## Summary of changes
- Add `limit` and `start_after` parameters to listing API
- Update storcon_cli to use these parameters and limit requests to 1000
items at a time
## Problem
With upload queue reordering in #10218, we can easily get into a
situation where multiple index uploads are queued back to back, which
can't be parallelized. This will happen e.g. when multiple layer flushes
enqueue layer/index/layer/index/... and the layers skip the queue and
are uploaded in parallel.
These index uploads will incur serial S3 roundtrip latencies, and may
block later operations.
Touches #10096.
## Summary of changes
When multiple back-to-back index uploads are ready to upload, only
upload the most recent index and drop the rest.
## Problem
The upload queue can currently schedule an arbitrary number of tasks.
This can both spawn an unbounded number of Tokio tasks, and also
significantly slow down upload queue scheduling as it's quadratic in
number of operations.
Touches #10096.
## Summary of changes
Limit the number of inprogress tasks to the remote storage upload
concurrency. While this concurrency limit is shared across all tenants,
there's certainly no point in scheduling more than this -- we could even
consider setting the limit lower, but don't for now to avoid
artificially constraining tenants.
By setting PATH in the 'pg-build' layer, all the extension build layers
will inherit. No need to pass PG_CONFIG to all the various make
invocations either: once pg_config is in PATH, the Makefiles will pick
it up from there.
## Problem
The upload queue currently sees significant head-of-line blocking. For
example, index uploads act as upload barriers, and for every layer flush
we schedule a layer and index upload, which effectively serializes layer
uploads.
Resolves#10096.
## Summary of changes
Allow upload queue operations to bypass the queue if they don't conflict
with preceding operations, increasing parallelism.
NB: the upload queue currently schedules an explicit barrier after every
layer flush as well (see #8550). This must be removed to enable
parallelism. This will require a better mechanism for compaction
backpressure, see e.g. #8390 or #5415.
## Problem
Since https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9916, the preferred AZ
of a tenant is much more impactful, and we would like to make it more
visible in tooling.
## Summary of changes
- Include AZ in node describe API
- Include AZ info in node & tenant outputs in CLI
- Add metrics for per-node shard counts, labelled by AZ
- Add a CLI for setting preferred AZ on a tenant
- Extend AZ-setting API+CLI to handle None for clearing preferred AZ
## Problem
Before this PR, the pagestream throttle was applied weighted on a
per-batch basis.
This had several problems:
1. The throttle occurence counters were only bumped by `1` instead of
`batch_size`.
2. The throttle wait time aggregator metric only counted one wait time,
irrespective
of `batch_size`. That makes sense in some ways of looking at it but not
in others.
3. If the last request in the batch runs into the throttle, the other
requests in the
batch are also throttled, i.e., over-throttling happens (theoretical,
didn't measure
it in practice).
## Solution
It occured to me that we can simply push the throttling upwards into
`pagestream_read_message`.
This has the added benefit that in pipeline mode, the `executor` stage
will, if it is idle,
steal whatever requests already made it into the `spsc_fold` and execute
them; before this
change, that was not the case - the throttling happened in the
`executor` stage instead of
the `batcher` stage.
## Code Changes
There are two changes in this PR:
1. Lifting up the throttling into the `pagestream_read_message` method.
2. Move the throttling metrics out of the `Throttle` type into
`SmgrOpMetrics`.
Unlike the other smgr metrics, throttling is per-tenant, hence the Arc.
3. Refactor the `SmgrOpTimer` implementation to account for the new
observation states,
and simplify its design.
4. Drive-by-fix flush time metrics. It was using the same `now` in the
`observe_guard` every time.
The `SmgrOpTimer` is now a state machine.
Each observation point moves the state machine forward.
If a timer object is dropped early some "pair"-like metrics still
require an increment or observation.
That's done in the Drop implementation, by driving the state machine to
completion.
## Problem
Discovered during the relation dir refactor work.
If we do not create images as in this patch, we would get two set of
image layers:
```
0000...METADATA_KEYS
0000...REL_KEYS
```
They overlap at the same LSN and would cause data loss for relation
keys. This doesn't happen in prod because initial image layer generation
is never called, but better to be fixed to avoid future issues with the
reldir refactors.
## Summary of changes
* Consolidate create_image_layers call into a single one.

## Problem
We want to do a more robust job of scheduling tenants into their home
AZ: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8264.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8969
## Summary of changes
### Scope
This PR combines prioritizing AZ with a larger rework of how we do
optimisation. The rationale is that just bumping AZ in the order of
Score attributes is a very tiny change: the interesting part is lining
up all the optimisation logic to respect this properly, which means
rewriting it to use the same scores as the scheduler, rather than the
fragile hand-crafted logic that we had before. Separating these changes
out is possible, but would involve doing two rounds of test updates
instead of one.
### Scheduling optimisation
`TenantShard`'s `optimize_attachment` and `optimize_secondary` methods
now both use the scheduler to pick a new "favourite" location. Then
there is some refined logic for whether + how to migrate to it:
- To decide if a new location is sufficiently "better", we generate
scores using some projected ScheduleContexts that exclude the shard
under consideration, so that we avoid migrating from a node with
AffinityScore(2) to a node with AffinityScore(1), only to migrate back
later.
- Score types get a `for_optimization` method so that when we compare
scores, we will only do an optimisation if the scores differ by their
highest-ranking attributes, not just because one pageserver is lower in
utilization. Eventually we _will_ want a mode that does this, but doing
it here would make scheduling logic unstable and harder to test, and to
do this correctly one needs to know the size of the tenant that one is
migrating.
- When we find a new attached location that we would like to move to, we
will create a new secondary location there, even if we already had one
on some other node. This handles the case where we have a home AZ A, and
want to migrate the attachment between pageservers in that AZ while
retaining a secondary location in some other AZ as well.
- A unit test is added for
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8969, which is implicitly
fixed by reworking optimisation to use the same scheduling scores as
scheduling.
## Problem
In preparation to https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9516. We
need to store rel size and directory data in the sparse keyspace, but it
does not support inheritance yet.
## Summary of changes
Add a new type of keyspace "sparse but inherited" into the system.
On the read path: we don't remove the key range when we descend into the
ancestor. The search will stop when (1) the full key range is covered by
image layers (which has already been implemented before), or (2) we
reach the end of the ancestor chain.

Generally ed25519 seems to be much preferred for cryptographic strength
to P256 nowadays, and it is NIST approved finally. We should use it
where we can as it's also faster than p256.
This PR makes the re-signed JWTs between local_proxy and pg_session_jwt
use ed25519.
This does introduce a new dependency on ed25519, but I do recall some
Neon Authorise customers asking for support for ed25519, so I am
justifying this dependency addition in the context that we can then
introduce support for customer ed25519 keys

## Problem
Currently, if we want to move a secondary there isn't a neat way to do
that: we just have migration API for the attached location, and it is
only clean to use that if you've manually created a secondary via
pageserver API in the place you're going to move it to.
Secondary migration API enables:
- Moving the secondary somewhere because we would like to later move the
attached location there.
- Move the secondary location because we just want to reclaim some disk
space from its current location.
## Summary of changes
- Add `/migrate_secondary` API
- Add `tenant-shard-migrate-secondary` CLI
- Add tests for above
## Problem
We would sometimes fail to retry compute notifications:
1. Try and send, set compute_notify_failure if we can't
2. On next reconcile, reconcile() fails for some other reason (e.g.
tried to talk to an offline node), and we fail the `result.is_ok() &&
must_notify` condition around the re-sending.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/22612
## Summary of changes
- Clarify the meaning of the reconcile result: it should be Ok(()) if
configuring attached location worked, even if secondary or detach
locations cannot be reached.
- Skip trying to talk to secondaries if they're offline
- Even if reconcile fails and we can't send the compute notification (we
can't send it because we're not sure if it's really attached), make sure
we save the `compute_notify_failure` flag so that subsequent reconciler
runs will try again
- Add a regression test for the above
Taking continuous profiles every 20 seconds is likely too expensive (in
dollar terms). Let's try 60-second profiles. We can now interrupt
running profiles via `?force=true`, so this should be fine.
For testing the proxy's websockets support.
I wrote this to test https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/3822.
Unfortunately, that bug can *not* be reproduced with this tunnel. The
bug only appears when the client pipelines the first query with the
authentication messages. The tunnel doesn't do that.

Update (@conradludgate 2025-01-10):

a very simplistic setup of the postgres protocol. Introducing the tunnel
would make more complex testing simpler in the future.

## Problem
Limitations found while using this to investigate
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10234:
- If we hit a node consistency issue, we drop out and don't check shards
for consistency
- The messages printed after a shard consistency issue are huge, and
grafana appears to drop them.
## Summary of changes
- Defer node consistency errors until the end of the function, so that
we always proceed to check shards for consistency
- Print out smaller log lines that just point out the diffs between
expected and persistent state
With a new beta build of the rust compiler, it's good to check out the
new lints. Either to find false positives, or find flaws in our code.
Additionally, it helps reduce the effort required to update to 1.85 in 6
weeks.
## Problem
It's only possible to take one CPU profile at a time. With Grafana
continuous profiling, a (low-frequency) CPU profile will always be
running, making it hard to take an ad hoc CPU profile at the same time.
Resolves#10072.
## Summary of changes
Add a `force` parameter for `/profile/cpu` which will end and return an
already running CPU profile, starting a new one for the current caller.
## Problem
Currently, the heap profiling frequency is every 1 MB allocated. Taking
a profile stack trace takes about 1 µs, and allocating 1 MB takes about
15 µs, so the overhead is about 6.7% which is a bit high. This is a
fixed cost regardless of whether heap profiles are actually accessed.
## Summary of changes
Increase the heap profiling sample frequency from 1 MB to 2 MB, which
reduces the overhead to about 3.3%. This seems acceptable, considering
performance-sensitive code will avoid allocations as far as possible
anyway.
There used to be some pg version dependencies in these extensions, but
now that there isn't, follow the simpler pattern used in other
extensions. No change in the produced images.
We don't need or want the `active` column. Remove it. Vlad pointed out
that this is safe.
Thanks to the separation of the schemata in earlier PRs, this is easy.

When we moved throttling up from Timeline::get into page_service,
we stopped being sensitive to `Timeline::cancel`, even though we're
holding a Handle and thus a guard on the `Timeline::gate` open.
This PR rectifies the situation.
Refs
- Found while investigating #10309 (hung detach because gate kept open),
but not expected to be the root cause of that issue because the

## Problem
https://github.com/neondatabase/infra/pull/2725 updated the scrubber to

## Problem
These two tests came up in #9537 as doing multi-gigabyte I/O, and from
inspection of the tests it doesn't seem like they need that to fulfil
their purpose.
## Summary of changes
- In test_local_file_cache_unlink, run fewer background threads with a
smaller number of rows. These background threads AFAICT exist to make
sure some I/O is going on while we unlink the LFC directory, but 5
threads should be enough for "some".
- In test_lfc_resize, tweak the test to validate that the cache size is
larger than the final size before resizing it, so that we're sure we're
writing enough data to really be doing something. Then decrease the
pgbench scale.
## Problem
When poetry v2 (released Jan 5) is used it needs `packaging.metadata`

## Summary of changes
Update `packaging` to 24.2.
## Problem
This test writes ~5GB of data. It is not suitable to run in parallel
with all the other small tests in test_runner/regress.
via #9537
## Summary of changes
- Move test_parallel_copy into the performance directory, so that it
does not run in parallel with other tests
## Problem
I noticed in https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9537 that tests
which work with compat snapshots were writing several hundred MB of
data, which isn't really necessary.
Also, the snapshots are large but don't have the proper variety of
storage format features, e.g. they could just have L0 deltas.
## Summary of changes
- Use smaller scale factor and runtime to generate less data
- Configure a small layer size and use force image layer generation so
that our output contains L1 deltas and image layers, and has a decent
number of entries in the layer map
## Problem
Unlike CPU profiles, the `/profile/heap` endpoint can't automatically
generate SVG flamegraphs. This requires the user to install and use
`pprof` tooling, which is unnecessary and annoying.
Resolves#10203.
## Summary of changes
Add `format=svg` for the `/profile/heap` route, and generate an SVG
flamegraph using the `inferno` crate, similarly to what `pprof-rs`
already does for CPU profiles.
# Problem
Before this PR, there were cases where send() in state
SenderWaitsForReceiverToConsume would never be woken up
by the receiver, because it never registered with `wake_sender`.
Example Scenario 1: we stop polling a send() future A that was waiting
for the receiver to consume. We drop A and create a new send() future B.
B would return Poll::Pending and never regsister a waker.
Example Scenario 2: a send() future A transitions from HasData
to SenderWaitsForReceiverToConsume. This registers the context X
with `wake_sender`. But before the Receiver consumes the data,
we poll A from a different context Y.
The state is still SenderWaitsForReceiverToConsume, but we wouldn't
register the new context with `wake_sender`.
When the Receiver comes around to consume and `wake_sender.notify()`s,
it wakes the old context X instead of Y.
# Fix
Register the waker in the case where we're polled in
state `SenderWaitsForReceiverToConsume`.
# Relation to #10309
I found this bug while investigating #10309.
There was never proof that this bug here is the root cause for #10309.
In the meantime we found a more probably hypothesis
for the root cause than what is being fixed here.
Regardless, let's walk through my thought process about
how it might have been relevant:
There (in page_service), Scenario 1 does not apply because
we poll the send() future to completion.
Scenario 2 (`tokio::join!`) also does not apply with the
current `tokio::join!()` impl, because it will just poll each
future every time, each with the same context.
Although if we ever used something like a FuturesUnordered anywhere,
that will be using a different context, so, in that case,
the bug might materialize.
Regarding tokio & spurious poll in general:
@conradludgate is not aware of any spurious wakeup cases in current
tokio,
but within a `tokio::join!()`, any wake meant for one future will poll
all
the futures, so that can appear as a spurious wake up to the N-1 futures
of the `tokio::join!()`.
## Problem
We were incorrectly constructing the ComputeUserInfo, used for
cancellation checks, based on the return parameters from postgres. This
didn't contain the correct info.
## Summary of changes
Propagate down the existing ComputeUserInfo.
## Problem
When the proxy receives a `Notification` with an unknown topic it's
supposed to use the `UnknownTopic` unit variant. Unfortunately, in
adjacently tagged enums serde will not simply ignore the configured
content if found and try to deserialize a map/object instead.
## Summary of changes
* Use a custom deserialize function to ignore variant content.
* Add a little unit test covering both cases.
## Problem
Auto-offloading as requested by the compaction task is racy with
unarchival, in that the compaction task might attempt to offload an
unarchived timeline. By that point it will already have set the timeline
to the `Stopping` state however, which makes it unusable for any
purpose. For example:
1. compaction task decides to offload timeline
2. timeline gets unarchived
3. `offload_timeline` gets called by compaction task
* sets timeline's state to `Stopping`
* realizes that the timeline can't be unarchived, errors out
6. endpoint can't be started as the timeline is `Stopping` and thus
'can't be found'.
A future iteration of the compaction task can't "heal" this state either
as the timeline will still not be archived, same goes for other
automatic stuff. The only way to heal this is a tenant detach+attach, or
alternatively a pageserver restart.
Furthermore, the compaction task is especially amenable for such races
as it first stores `can_offload` into a variable, figures out whether
compaction is needed (which takes some time), and only then does it
attempt an offload operation: the time difference between "check" and
"use" is non-trivially small.
To make it even worse, we start the compaction task right after attach
of a tenant, and it is a common pattern by pageserver users to attach a
tenant to then immediately unarchive a timeline, so that an endpoint can
be started.
## Solutions not adopted
The simplest solution is to move the `can_offload` check to right before
attempting of the offload. But this is not a good solution, as no lock
is held between that check and timeline shutdown. So races would still
be possible, just become less likely.
I explored using the timeline state for this, as in adding an additional
enum variant. But `Timeline::set_state` is racy (#10297).
## Adopted solution
We use the lock on the timeline's upload queue as an arbiter: either
unarchival gets to it first and sours the state for auto-offloading, or
auto-offloading shuts it down, which stops any parallel unarchival in
its tracks. The key part is not releasing the upload queue's lock
between the check whether the timeline is archived or not, and shutting
it down (the actual implementation only sets `shutting_down` but it has
the same effect on `initialized_mut()` as a full shutdown). The rest of
the patch is stuff that follows from this.
We also move the part where we set the state to `Stopping` to after that
arbiter has decided the fate of the timeline. For deletions, we do keep
it inside `DeleteTimelineFlow::prepare` however, so that it is called
with all of the the timelines locks held that the function allocates
(timelines lock most importantly). This is only a precautionary measure
however, as I didn't want to analyze deletion related code for possible
races.
## Future changes
It might make sense to move `can_offload` to right before the offload
attempt. Maybe some other properties might have changed as well.
Although this will not be perfect either as no lock is held. I want to
keep it out of this change to emphasize that this move wasn't the main
reason we are race free now.

Prior update was in #9926.
## Problem
In Postgres, one cannot drop a role if it has any dependent objects in
the DB. In `compute_ctl`, we automatically reassign all dependent
objects in every DB to the corresponding DB owner. Yet, it seems that it
doesn't help with some implicit permissions. The issue is reproduced by
installing a `postgis` extension because it creates some views and
tables in the public schema.
## Summary of changes
Added a repro test without using a `postgis`: i) create a role via
`compute_ctl` (with `neon_superuser` grant); ii) create a test role, a
table in schema public, and grant permissions via the role in
`neon_superuser`.
To fix the issue, I added a new `compute_ctl` code that removes such
dangling permissions before dropping the role. It's done in the least
invasive way, i.e., only touches the schema public, because i) that's
the problem we had with PostGIS; ii) it creates a smaller chance of
messing anything up and getting a stuck operation again, just for a
different reason.
Properly, any API-based catalog operations should fail gracefully and
provide an actionable error and status code to the control plane,
allowing the latter to unwind the operation and propagate an error
message and hint to the user. In this sense, it's aligned with another
feature request https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/21611Resolveneondatabase/cloud#13582

## Problem
If for some reasons we already garbage-collected the data under an LSN
but the caller uses a past LSN for the find_time_cutoff function, now we

Note that missing key error can also happen if the key is really missing
(i.e., during the past offload incidents)
## Summary of changes
Make sure GC proceeds by bumping the LSN. When time_cutoff=None, we will
not increase the time_cutoff (it will be set to latest_gc_cutoff). If we
really need to bump the GC LSN for maintenance purpose, we need a

## Summary of changes
While of dubious utility in the first place, this patch replaces them
with records received and records observed metrics for interpreted
ingest:
* received records cause the pageserver to do _something_: write a key,

* observed records are a shard 0 concept and contain only key metadata
used in tracking relation sizes (received records include observed

The observed state removal may race with the inline updates of the
observed state done from `Service::node_activate_reconcile`.
This was intended to work as follows:
1. Detaches while the node is unavailable remove the entry from the
observed state.
2. `Service::node_activate_reconcile` diffs the locations returned
by the pageserver with the observed state and detaches in-line
when required.
## Summary of changes
This PR removes step (1) and lets background reconciliations
deal with the mismatch between the intent and observed state.
A follow up will attempt to remove `Service::node_activate_reconcile`
altogether.
Closes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10253
## Problem
Consider the pageserver is doing the following sequence of operations:
* upload X files
* update index_part to add X and remove Y
* delete Y files
When storage scrubber obtains the initial timeline snapshot before
"update index_part" (that is the old version that contains Y but not X),
and then obtains the index_part file after it gets updated, it will
report all Y files are missing.
## Summary of changes
Do not report layer file missing if index_part listed and downloaded are
not the same (i.e. different last_modified times)

## Problem
Currently, we run the whole CI pipeline for any changes. It's slow and
expensive.
## Suggestion
Starting with MacOs builds:
- check what files were changed
- rebuild only needed parts
- reuse results from previous builds when available
- run builds in parallel when possible

## Problem
We currently parse Notification twice even in the happy path.
## Summary of changes
Use `#[serde(other)]` to catch unknown topics and defer the second
parsing.
## Problem
`promote-images` was split into `promote-images-dev` and
`promote-images-prod` in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10267.
`dev` credentials were loaded in `promote-images-dev` and `prod`
credentials were loaded in `promote-images-prod`, but
`promote-images-prod` needs `dev` credentials as well to access the
`dev` images to replicate them from `dev` to `prod`.
## Summary of changes
Load `dev` credentials in `promote-images-prod` as well.
Apparently, we failed to do this bookkeeping in quite a few places...
## Problem

## Summary of changes
Add accounting of dropped requests. Note that this includes prefetches
dropped due to things like "PS connection dropped unexpectedly" or
"prefetch queue is already full", but *not* (yet?) "dropped due to
backend shutdown".
## Problem
`trigger-e2e-tests` waits half an hour before starting to run. Nearly
half of that time can be saved by promoting images before tests on them
are complete, so the e2e tests can run in parallel.
On `main` and `release{,-proxy,-compute}`, `promote-images` updates
`latest` and pushes things to prod ecr, so we want to run
`promote-images` only after `test-images` is done, but on other
branches, there is no harm in promoting images that aren't tested yet.
## Summary of changes
To promote images into dev container registries sooner, `promote-images`
is split into `promote-images-dev` and `promote-images-prod`. The former
pushes to dev container registries, the latter to prod ones. The latter
also waits for `test-images`, while the former doesn't. This allows to
run `trigger-e2e-tests` sooner.
Using `min(0, ...)` causes us to fail to wait in most situations, so a
lack of data would be a hot wait loop, which is bad.
## Problem
We noticed high CPU usage in some situations

## Problem
Frame pointers are typically disabled by default (depending on CPU
architecture), to improve performance. This frees up a CPU register, and
avoids a couple of instructions per function call. However, it makes
stack unwinding much more inefficient, since it has to use DWARF debug
information instead, and gives worse results with e.g. `perf` and eBPF
profiles. The `backtrace` implementation of `libunwind` is also
suspected to cause seg faults.
The performance benefit of frame pointer omission doesn't appear to
matter that much on modern 64-bit CPU architectures (which have plenty
of registers and optimized instruction execution), and benchmarks did
not show measurable overhead.
The Rust standard library and jemalloc already enable frame pointers by
default.
For more information, see
https://www.brendangregg.com/blog/2024-03-17/the-return-of-the-frame-pointers.html.
Resolves#10224.
Touches #10225.
## Summary of changes
Enable frame pointers in all builds, and use frame pointers for pprof-rs
stack sampling.
## Problem
Before the holidays, and just before our code freeze, a change to cplane
was made that started publishing the topics from #10197. This triggered
our alerts and put us in a sticky situation as it was not an error, and
we didn't want to silence the alert for the entire holidays, and we
didn't want to release proxy 2 days in a row if it was not essential.
We fixed it eventually by rewriting the alert based on logs, but this is
not a good solution.
## Summary of changes
Introduces an intermediate parsing step to check the topic name first,
to allow us to ignore parsing errors for any topics we do not know
about.
## Problem
We are chasing down segfaults in the storage controller
https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/21010
This is for use by the storage controller, which links dynamically with
`libpq`. We currently use the neon-built libpq, but this may be unsafe
for use from multi-threaded programs like the controller, as it uses a
statically linked openssl
Precursor to https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10258
## Summary of changes
- Include `postgresql-15` in container builds.
The reason for using version 15 is simply because that is what's
available in Debian 12 without adding any extra repositories, and we
don't have any special need for latest version in our libpq usage.
## Problem
It's not legal to modify layers that are referenced by the current layer
index. Assert this in the upload queue, as preparation for upload queue
reordering.
Touches #10096.
## Summary of changes
Add a debug assertion that the upload queue does not modify layers
referenced by the current index.
I could be convinced that this should be a plain assertion, but will be
conservative for now.
## Problem
Since enabling continuous profiling in staging, we've seen frequent seg
faults. This is suspected to be because jemalloc and pprof-rs take a
stack trace at the same time, and the handlers aren't signal safe.
jemalloc does this probabilistically on every allocation, regardless of
whether someone is taking a heap profile, which means that any CPU
profile has a chance to cause a seg fault.
Touches #10225.
## Summary of changes
For now, just disable heap profiles -- CPU profiles are more important,
and we need to be able to take them without risking a crash.
There is a race condition between `Tenant::shutdown`'s `defuse_for_drop`
loop and `offload_timeline`, where timeline offloading can insert into a
tenant that is in the process of shutting down, in fact so far
progressed that the `defuse_for_drop` has already been called.
This prevents warn log lines of the form:
```
offloaded timeline <hash> was dropped without having cleaned it up at the ancestor
```
The solution piggybacks on the `offloaded_timelines` lock: both the
defuse loop and the offloaded timeline insertion need to acquire the
lock, and we know that the defuse loop only runs after the tenant has
set its `TenantState` to `Stopping`.
So if we hold the `offloaded_timelines` lock, and know that the
`TenantState` is not `Stopping`, then we know that the defuse loop has
not ran yet, and holding the lock ensures that it doesn't start running
while we are inserting the offloaded timeline.
Fixes#10070
## Problem
When we do a timeline CRUD operation, we check that the shards we need
to mutate are currently attached to a pageserver, by reading
`generation` and `generation_pageserver` from the database.
If any don't appear to be attached, we respond with a a 503 and "One or
more shards in tenant is not yet attached".
This is happening more often than expected, and it's not obvious with
current logging what's going on: specifically which shard has a problem,
and exactly what we're seeing in these persistent generation columns.
(Aside: it's possible that we broke something with the change in #10011
which clears generation_pageserver when we detach a shard, although if
so the mechanism isn't trivial: what should happen is that if we stamp
on generation_pageserver if a reconciler is running, then it shouldn't
matter because we're about to
## Summary of changes
- When we are in Attached mode but find that
generation_pageserver/generation are unset, output details while looping
over shards.
## Problem
We see periodic failures in `test_scrubber_physical_gc_ancestors`, where
the logs show that the pageserver is creating image layers that should
cause child shards to no longer reference their parents' layers, but
then the scrubber runs and doesn't find any unreferenced layers.[
https://neon-github-public-dev.s3.amazonaws.com/reports/pr-10256/12582034135/index.html#/testresult/78ea06dea6ba8dd3
From inspecting the code & test, it seems like this could be as simple
as the test failing to wait for uploads before running the scrubber. It
had a 2 second delay built in to satisfy the scrubbers time threshold
checks, which on a lightly loaded machine would also have been easily
enough for uploads to complete, but our test machines are more heavily
loaded all the time.
## Summary of changes
- Wait for uploads to complete after generating images layers in
test_scrubber_physical_gc_ancestors, so that the scrubber should
reliably see the post-compaction metadata.
## Problem
Versions of `diesel` and `pq-sys` were somewhat stale. I was checking on
libpq->openssl versions while investigating a segfault via
https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/21010. I don't think these
rust bindings are likely to be the source of issues, but we might as
well freshen them as a precaution.
## Summary of changes
- Update diesel to 2.2.6
- Update pq-sys to 0.6.3
There was no value in saving them off to temporary variables.

## Problem
When we manually override the LFC size for particular computes,
autoscaling will typically undo that because vm-monitor will resize LFC
itself.
So, we'd like a way to make vm-monitor not set LFC size — this actually
already exists, if we just don't give vm-monitor a postgres connection
string.
## Summary of changes
Add a new field to the compute spec, `disable_lfc_resizing`. When set to
`true`, we pass in `None` for its postgres connection string. That
matches the configuration tested in `neondatabase/autoscaling` CI.
## Problem
Building local_proxy and compute_tools features the same dependency

## Problem
Running clippy with `cargo hack --feature-powerset` in CI isn't
particularly fast. This PR follows-up on
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8912 to improve the speed of
our clippy runs.
Parallelism as suggested in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9901 was tested, but didn't
show consistent enough improvements to be worth it. It actually
increased the amount of work done, as there's less cache hits when
clippy runs are spread out over multiple target directories.
Additionally, parallelism makes it so caching needs to be thought about
more actively and copying around target directories to enable
parallelism eats the rest of the performance gains from parallel
execution.
After some discussion, the decision was to instead cut down on the
number of jobs that are running further. The easiest way to do this is
to not run clippy *without* default features. The list of default
features is empty for all crates, and I haven't found anything using
`cfg(feature = "default")` either, so this is likely not going to change
anything except speeding the runs up.
## Summary of changes
Reduce the amount of feature combinations tried by `cargo hack` (as
suggested in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8912#pullrequestreview-2286482368)
by never disabling default features.
## Alternatives
- We can split things out into different jobs which reduces the time
until everything is finished by running more things in parallel. This
does however decreases the amount of cache hits and increases the amount
of time spent on overhead tasks like repo cloning and restoring caches
by doing those multiple times instead of once.
- We could replace `cargo hack [...] clippy` with `cargo clippy [...];
cargo clippy --features testing`. I'm not 100% sure how this compares to
the change here in the PR, but it does seem to run a bit faster. That
likely means it's doing less work, but without understanding what
exactly we loose by that I'd rather not do that for now. I'd appreciate
input on this though.
Now that we construct the TLS client config for cancellation as well as
connect, it feels appropriate to construct the same config once and
re-use it elsewhere. It might also help should #7500 require any extra
setup, so we can easily add it to all the appropriate call sites.
In #10207 it was clear there was some confusion with the current
connection logic. To analyse the flow to make sure there was no poll
stalling, I ended up with the following refactor.
Notable changes:
1. Now all functions called `poll_xyz` and that have a `cx: &mut
Context` argument must return a `Poll<_>` type, and can only return
`Pending` iff an internal poll call also returned `Pending`
2. State management is handled entirely by `poll_messages`. There are
now only 2 states which makes it much easier to keep track of.
Each commit should be self-reviewable and should be simple to verify
that it keeps the same behaviour
## Problem
Currently default value of storage controller heartbeat interval is
100msec. It means that 10 times per second it establish connection to
PS. And it seems to be quite expensive.
At MacOS right now storage_controller consumes 70% CPU and trusts - 30%.
So together they completely utilize one core.
A lot of us has Macs. Let's save environment a little bit and do not
waste electricity and contribute to global warming.
By the way, on prod we have interval 10seconds
## Summary of changes
Increase heartbeat interval from 100msec to 1 second.

## Problem
In https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9897 we temporarily
disabled the layer valid check because the current one only considers
the end result of all compaction algorithms, but partial gc-compaction
would temporarily produce an "invalid" layer map.
part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9114
## Summary of changes
Allow LSN splits to overlap in the slow path check. Currently, the valid
check is only used in storage scrubber (background job) and during
gc-compaction (without taking layer lock). Therefore, it's fine for such
checks to be a little bit inefficient but more accurate.

## Problem
Safekeeper may currently send a batch to the pageserver even if it
hasn't decoded a new record.
I think this is quite unlikely in the field, but worth adressing.
## Summary of changes
Don't send anything if we haven't decoded a full record. Once this
merges and releases, the `InterpretedWalRecords` struct can be updated
to remove the Option wrapper for `next_record_lsn`.
## Problem
The benchmarking utilities are also useful for testing. We want to write
tests in the safekeeper crate.
## Summary of changes
This commit lifts the utils to the safekeeper crate. They are compiled
if the benchmarking features is enabled or if in test mode.
## Problem
test_timeline_archival_chaos does timeline creation with failure
injection, and thereby sometimes leaves timelines in a part created
state. This was being reported as corruption by the scrubber on test
teardown, because it considered a layer without an index to be an
invalid state. This was incorrect: the scrubber should accept this
state, it occurs legitimately during timeline creation.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9988
## Summary of changes
- Report a timeline with layers but no index as Relic rather than
MissingIndexPart.
- We retain the MissingIndexPart variant for the case where an index
_was_ found in the listing, but was not found by a subsequent GET, i.e.
racing with deletion.
## Problem
`test_pgdata_import_smoke` writes two gigabytes of pages and then reads
them back serially. This is CPU bottlenecked and results in a long
runtime, and sensitivity to CPU load from other tests on the same
machine.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10071
## Summary of changes
- Use effective_io_concurrency=32 when doing sequential scans through
2GiB of pages in test_pgdata_import_smoke. This is a ~10x runtime
decrease in the parts of the test that do sequential scans.
- Also set `effective_io_concurrency=2` for tests, as I noticed while
debugging that we were doing all getpage requests serially, which is bad
for checking the stability of the batching code.
## Problem
We want to verify how much / if pgbench throughput and latency on Neon
suffers if the database contains many other relations, too.
## Summary of changes
Modify the benchmarking.yml pgbench-compare job to
- create an addiitional project at scale factor 10 GiB
- before running pgbench add n tables (initially 10k) to the database
- then compare the pgbench throughput and latency to the existing
pgbench-compare at 10 Gib scale factor
We use a realistic template for the n relations that is a partitioned
table with some realistic data types, indexes and constraints - similar
to a table that we use internally.

## Problem
`neon_local` has always been unsafe to run concurrently with itself: it
uses simple text files for persistent state, and concurrent runs will
step on each other.
In some test environments we intentionally handle this with mutexes in
python land, but it's fragile to try and always remember to do that.
## Summary of changes
- Add a `flock` based mutex around the `main` function of neon_local,
using the repo directory as the file to lock
- Clean up an Option<> around control_plane_api, this is a drive-by
change because it was one of the fields that had a weird effect when

## Problem
It is unreliable for the control plane to infer the AZ for computes from
where the tenant is currently attached, because if a tenant happens to
be in a degraded state or a release is ongoing while a compute starts,
then the tenant's attached AZ can be a different one to where it will
run long-term, and the control plane doesn't check back later to restart
the compute.
This can land in parallel with

Jemalloc heap profiles aren't symbolized. This is inconvenient, and
doesn't work with Grafana Cloud Profiles.
Resolves#9964.
## Summary of changes
Symbolize the heap profiles in-process, and strip unnecessary cruft.
This uses about 100 MB additional memory to cache the DWARF information,
but I believe this is already the case with CPU profiles, which use the
same library for symbolization. With cached DWARF information, the
symbolization CPU overhead is negligible.
Example profiles:

As the title says, I updated the lint rules to no longer allow unwrap or

Three special cases:
* Tests are allowed to use them
* std::sync::Mutex lock().unwrap() is common because it's usually
correct to continue panicking on poison
* `tokio::spawn_blocking(...).await.unwrap()` is common because it will
only error if the blocking fn panics, so continuing the panic is also
correct

are a bit more explicit so they don't need an expect message every time.

false, and then sometimes inherits the proxy config value. There's no
need this needs to be in the node_info, so removing it and propagating
it via `TcpMechansim` is simpler.
## Problem
Changes in #9786 were functionally complete but missed some edges that
made testing less robust than it should have been:
- `is_key_disposable` didn't consider SLRU dir keys disposable
- Timeline `init_empty` was always creating SLRU dir keys on all shards
The result was that when we had a bug
(https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10080), it wasn't apparent in
tests, because one would only encounter the issue if running on a
long-lived timeline with enough compaction to drop the initially created
empty SLRU dir keys, _and_ some CLog truncation going on.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/21516
## Summary of changes
- Update is_key_global and init_empty to handle SLRU dir keys properly
-- the only functional impact is that we avoid writing some spurious
keys in shards >0, but this makes testing much more robust.
- Make `test_clog_truncate` explicitly use a sharded tenant
The net result is that if one reverts #10080, then tests fail (i.e. this
PR is a reproducer for the issue)
## Problem
In #8550, we made the flush loop wait for uploads after every layer.
This was to avoid unbounded buildup of uploads, and to reduce compaction
debt. However, the approach has several problems:
* It prevents upload parallelism.
* It prevents flush and upload pipelining.
* It slows down ingestion even when there is no need to backpressure.
* It does not directly backpressure WAL ingestion (only via
`disk_consistent_lsn`), and will build up in-memory layers.
* It does not directly backpressure based on compaction debt and read
amplification.
An alternative solution to these problems is proposed in #8390.
In the meanwhile, we revert the change to reduce the impact on ingest
throughput. This does reintroduce some risk of unbounded
upload/compaction buildup. Until
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8390, this can be addressed
in other ways:
* Use `max_replication_apply_lag` (aka `remote_consistent_lsn`), which
will more directly limit upload debt.
* Shard the tenant, which will spread the flush/upload work across more
Pageservers and move the bottleneck to Safekeeper.
Touches #10095.
## Summary of changes
Remove waiting on the upload queue in the flush loop.
## Problem

- Rename `aws_oicd_role_arn` to `aws-oicd-role-arn` for consistency

The test was failing with the scary but generic message `Remote storage

The underlying scrubber error is `Orphan layer detected: ...`.
The test kills pageserver at random points, hence it's expected that we
leak layers if we're killed in the window after layer upload but before
it's referenced from index part.

I've noticed that debug builds with LFC fail more frequently and for
some reason ,their failure do block merging (but it should not)
## Summary of changes
- Do not run Debug builds with LFC
## Problem
When we update our scheduler/optimization code to respect AZs properly
(https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9916), the choice of AZ
becomes a much higher-stakes decision. We will pretty much always run a
tenant in its preferred AZ, and that AZ is fixed for the lifetime of the
tenant (unless a human intervenes)
Eventually, when we do auto-balancing based on utilization, I anticipate
that part of that will be to automatically change the AZ of tenants if
our original scheduling decisions have caused imbalance, but as an
interim measure, we can at least avoid making this scheduling decision
based purely on which AZ contains the emptiest node.
This is a precursor to https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9947
## Summary of changes
- When creating a tenant, instead of scheduling a shard and then reading
its preferred AZ back, make the AZ decision first.
- Instead of choosing AZ based on which node is emptiest, use the median
utilization of nodes in each AZ to pick the AZ to use. This avoids bad
AZ decisions during periods when some node has very low utilization
(such as after replacing a dead node)
I considered also making the selection a weighted pseudo-random choice
based on utilization, but wanted to avoid destabilising tests with that
for now.
## Problem
Now notifications about failures in `pg_regress` tests run on the
staging cloud instance, reach the channel `on-call-staging-stream`,

## Problem
CI currently uses static credentials in some places. These are less

To give Storage more time on preprod — create a release branch on Friday
## Summary of changes

This adds an API to the storage controller to list safekeepers

This PR does a `diesel print-schema > storage_controller/src/schema.rs`
because of an inconsistency between up.sql and schema.rs, introduced by
[this](2c142f14f7)
commit, so there is some updates of `schema.rs` due to that. As a
followup to this, we should maybe think about running `diesel
print-schema` in CI.

## Problem
`test_check_visibility_map` has been seen to time out in debug tests.
## Summary of changes
Bump the timeout to 10 minutes (test reports indicate 7 minutes is
sufficient).
We don't want to disable the test entirely in debug builds, to exercise
this with debug assertions enabled.
Resolves#10069.
This adds some validation of invariants that we want to uphold wrt the
tenant manifest and `index_part.json`:
* the data the manifest has about a timeline must match with the data in
`index_part.json`. It might actually change, e.g. when we do reparenting
during detach ancestor, but that requires the timeline to be
unoffloaded, i.e. removed from the manifest.
* any timeline mentioned in index part, must, if present, be archived.
If we unarchive, we first update the tenant manifest to unoffload, and
only then update index part. And one needs to archive before offloading.
* it is legal for timelines to be mentioned in the manifest but have no
`index_part`: this is a temporary state visible during deletion of the
timeline. if the pageserver crashed, an attach of the tenant will clean
the state up.
* it is also legal for offloaded timelines to have an
`ancestor_retain_lsn` of None while having an `ancestor_timeline_id`.
This is for the to-be-added flattening functionality: the plan is to set
former to None if we have flattened a timeline.

## Problem
We saw the drain/fill operations not drain fast enough in ap-southeast.
## Summary of changes
These are some quick changes to speed it up:
* double reconcile concurrency - this is now half of the available
reconcile bandwidth
* reduce the waiter polling timeout - this way we can spawn new
reconciliations faster
## Problem
Cplane and storage controller tenant config changes are not additive.
Any change overrides all existing tenant configs. This would be fine if
both did client side patching, but that's not the case.
Once this merges, we must update cplane to use the PATCH endpoint.
## Summary of changes
### High Level
Allow for patching of tenant configuration with a `PATCH
/v1/tenant/config` endpoint.
It takes the same data as it's PUT counterpart. For example the payload
below will update `gc_period` and unset `compaction_period`. All other
fields are left in their original state.
```
{
"tenant_id": "1234",
"gc_period": "10s",
"compaction_period": null
}
```
### Low Level
* PS and storcon gain `PATCH /v1/tenant/config` endpoints. PS endpoint
is only used for cplane managed instances.
* `storcon_cli` is updated to have separate commands for
`set-tenant-config` and `patch-tenant-config`

## Problem
We added support for LFC for tests but are still using it only for the
PG17 release.
## Summary of changes

release. Tests on debug builds with LFC enabled still don't affect
permission to merge.
## Problem

## Summary of changes

Resolves: #5391
## Problem
We get slru truncation commands on non-zero shards.
Compaction will drop the slru dir keys and ingest will fail when
receiving such records.
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10080 fixed it for clog, but
not for multixact.
## Summary of changes
Only truncate multixact slrus on shard zero. I audited the rest of the
ingest code and it looks
fine from this pov.
## Problem
With pipelining enabled, the time a request spends in the batcher stage
counts towards the smgr op latency.
If pipelining is disabled, that time is not accounted for.
In practice, this results in a jump in smgr getpage latencies in various
dashboards and degrades the internal SLO.
## Solution
In a similar vein to #10042 and with a similar rationale, this PR stops
counting the time spent in batcher stage towards smgr op latency.
The smgr op latency metric is reduced to the actual execution time.
Time spent in batcher stage is tracked in a separate histogram.
I expect to remove that histogram after batching rollout is complete,
but it will be helpful in the meantime to reason about the rollout.
## Problem
Protobuf doesn't support 128 bit integers, so we encode the keys as two
64 bit integers. Issue is that when we split the 128 bit compact key we
use signed 64 bit integers to represent the two halves. This may result
in a negative lower half when relnode is larger than `0x00800000`. When
we convert the lower half to an i128 we get a negative `CompactKey`.
## Summary of Changes
Use unsigned integers when encoding into Protobuf.
## Deployment
* Prod: We disabled the interpreted proto, so no compat concerns.
* Staging: Disable the interpreted proto, do one release, and then
release the fixed version.
We do this because a negative int32 will convert to a large uint32 value
and could give
a key in the actual pageserver space. In production we would around this
by adding new
fields to the proto and deprecating the old ones, but we can make our
lives easy here.
* Pre-prod: Same as staging
## Problem
When dev deployments are disabled (or fail), the tags for releases
aren't created. It makes more sense to have tag and release creation
before the deployment to prevent situations like
[this](https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9959).
It is not enough to move the tag creation before the deployment. If the
deployment fails, re-running the job isn't possible because the API call
to create the tag will fail.
## Summary of changes
- Tag/Release creation now happens before the deployment
- The two steps for tag and release have been merged into a bigger one
- There's new checks to ensure the that if the tags/releases already
exist as expected, things will continue just fine.
## Problem
In #9786 we stop storing SLRUs on non-zero shards.
However, there was one code path during ingest that still tries to
enumerate SLRU relations on all shards. This fails if it sees a tenant
who has never seen any write to an SLRU, or who has done such thorough
compaction+GC that it has dropped its SLRU directory key.
## Summary of changes
- Avoid trying to list SLRU relations on nonzero shards
Neon doesn't have seqscan detection of its own, so stop read_stream from
trying to utilize that readahead, and instead make it issue readahead of
its own.
## Problem
@knizhnik noticed that we didn't issue smgrprefetch[v] calls for
seqscans in PG17 due to the move to the read_stream API, which assumes
that the underlying IO facilities do seqscan detection for readahead.
That is a wrong assumption when Neon is involved, so let's remove the
code that applies that assumption.
## Summary of changes
Remove the cases where seqscans are detected and prefetch is disabled as
a consequence, and instead don't do that detection.

In this patch, we decided to keep the current cutoff instead of moving
back the gc_info to avoid races. In the future, we could allow the
planned gc cutoff to go back once cplane sends a retention_history
tenant config update, but this requires a careful revisit of the code.

Azure has a different per-request limit of 256 items for bulk deletion
compared to the number of 1000 on AWS. Therefore, we need to support
multiple values. Due to `GenericRemoteStorage`, we can't add an
associated constant, but it has to be a function.
The PR replaces the `MAX_KEYS_PER_DELETE` constant with a function of
the same name, implemented on both the `RemoteStorage` trait as well as
on `GenericRemoteStorage`.
The value serves as hint of how many objects to pass to the
`delete_objects` function.

Part of #7931
Hello! I was interested in potentially making some contributions to Neon
and looking through the issue backlog I found
[8200](https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8200) which seemed
like a good first issue to attempt to tackle. I see it was assigned a
while ago so apologies if I'm stepping on any toes with this PR. I also
apologize for the size of this PR. I'm not sure if there is a simple way
to reduce it given the footprint of the components being changed.
## Problem
This PR is attempting to address part of the problem outlined in issue
[8200](https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8200). Namely to
remove global static usage of timeline state in favour of
`Arc<GlobalTimelines>` and to replace wasteful clones of
`SafeKeeperConf` with `Arc<SafeKeeperConf>`. I did not opt to tackle
`RemoteStorage` in this PR to minimize the amount of changes as this PR
is already quite large. I also did not opt to introduce an
`SafekeeperApp` wrapper struct to similarly minimize changes but I can
tackle either or both of these omissions in this PR if folks would like.
## Summary of changes
- Remove static usage of `GlobalTimelines` in favour of
`Arc<GlobalTimelines>`
- Wrap `SafeKeeperConf` in `Arc` to avoid wasteful clones of the
underlying struct
## Some additional thoughts
- We seem to currently store `SafeKeeperConf` in `GlobalTimelines` and
then expose it through a public`get_global_config` function which
requires locking. This seems needlessly wasteful and based on observed
usage we could remove this public accessor and force consumers to
acquire `SafeKeeperConf` through the new Arc reference.

The legacy gc process calls `get_latest_gc_cutoff`, which uses a Rcu
different than the gc_info struct. In the gc_compaction_smoke test case,
the "latest" cutoff could be lower than the gc_info struct, causing
gc-compaction to collect data that could be accessed by
`latest_gc_cutoff`. Technically speaking, there's nothing wrong with
gc-compaction using gc_info without considering latest_gc_cutoff,
because gc_info is the source of truth. But anyways, let's fix it.
## Summary of changes
* gc-compaction uses `latest_gc_cutoff` instead of gc_info to determine
the gc horizon.
* if a gc-compaction is scheduled via tenant compaction iteration, it
will take the gc_block lock to avoid racing with functionalities like
detach ancestor (if it's triggered via manual compaction API without
scheduling, then it won't take the lock)

## Problem
Currently, we run the `pg_regress` tests only for PG16
However, PG17 is a part of Neon and should be tested as well
## Summary of changes
Modified the workflow and added a patch for PG17 enabling the
`pg_regress` tests.
The problem with leftovers was solved by using branches.
For a while already, we've been unable to update the Azure SDK crates
due to Azure adopting use of a non-tokio async runtime, see #7545.
The effort to upstream the fix got stalled, and I think it's better to
switch to a patched version of the SDK that is up to date.
Now we have a fork of the SDK under the neondatabase github org, to
which I have applied Conrad's rebased patches to:
https://github.com/neondatabase/azure-sdk-for-rust/tree/neon .
The existence of a fork will also help with shipping bulk delete support
before it's upstreamed (#7931).
Also, in related news, the Azure SDK has gotten a rift in development,
where the main branch pertains to a future, to-be-officially-blessed
release of the SDK, and the older versions, which we are currently
using, are on the `legacy` branch. Upstream doesn't really want patches
for the `legacy` branch any more, they want to focus on the `main`
efforts. However, even then, the `legacy` branch is still newer than
what we are having right now, so let's switch to `legacy` for now.
Depending on how long it takes, we can switch to the official version of
the SDK once it's released or switch to the upstream `main` branch if
there is changes we want before that.
As a nice side effect of this PR, we now use reqwest 0.12 everywhere,
dropping the dependency on version 0.11.
Fixes#7545

cargo update -p aws-types -p aws-sigv4 -p aws-credential-types -p
aws-smithy-types -p aws-smithy-async -p aws-sdk-kms -p aws-sdk-iam -p

We want to keep the AWS SDK up to date as that way we benefit from new
developments and improvements.
## Problem
We saw a tenant get stuck when it had been put into Pause scheduling
mode to pin it to a pageserver, then it was left idle for a while and
the control plane tried to detach it.
Close: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9957
## Summary of changes
- When changing policy to Detached or Secondary, set the scheduling
policy to Active.
- Add a test that exercises this
- When persisting tenant shards, set their `generation_pageserver` to
null if the placement policy is not Attached (this enables consistency
checks to work, and avoids leaving state in the DB that could be
confusing/misleading in future)
## Problem

## Problem
With the current metrics we can't identify which shards are ingesting
data at any given time.
## Summary of changes
Add a metric for the number of wal records received for processing by
each shard. This is per (tenant, timeline, shard).
## Problem
We didn't have a codeowner for `/compute`, so nobody was auto-assigned
for PRs like #9973
## Summary of changes
While on it:
1. Group codeowners into sections.
2. Remove control plane from the `/compute_tools` because it's primarily
the internal `compute_ctl` code.
3. Add control plane (and compute) to `/libs/compute_api` because that's
the shared public interface of the compute.
We've seen cases where stray keys end up on the wrong shard. This
shouldn't happen. Add debug assertions to prevent this. In release
builds, we should be lenient in order to handle changing key ownership
policies.
Touches #9914.
## Problem
There's no metrics for disk consistent LSN and remote LSN. This stuff is
useful when looking at ingest performance.
## Summary of changes
Two per timeline metrics are added: `pageserver_disk_consistent_lsn` and
`pageserver_projected_remote_consistent_lsn`. I went for the projected
remote lsn instead of the visible one
because that more closely matches remote storage write tput. Ideally we
would have both, but these metrics are expensive.
## Problem
I'm writing an ingest benchmark in #9812. To time S3 uploads, I need to
schedule a flush of the Pageserver's in-memory layer, but don't actually
want to wait around for it to complete (which will take a minute).
## Summary of changes
Add a parameter `wait_until_flush` (default `true`) for
`timeline/checkpoint` to control whether to wait for the flush to
complete.
## Problem
FSM pages are managed like regular relation pages, and owned by a single
shard. However, when truncating the FSM relation the last FSM page was
zeroed out on all shards. This is unnecessary and potentially confusing.
The superfluous keys will be removed during compactions, as they do not
belong on these shards.
Resolves#10027.
## Summary of changes
Only zero out the truncated FSM page on the owning shard.
## Problem
part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9114
gc-compaction can take a long time. This patch adds support for
scheduling a gc-compaction job. The compaction loop will first handle
L0->L1 compaction, and then gc compaction. The scheduled jobs are stored
in a non-persistent queue within the tenant structure.
This will be the building block for the partial compaction trigger -- if
the system determines that we need to do a gc compaction, it will
partition the keyspace and schedule several jobs. Each of these jobs
will run for a short amount of time (i.e, 1 min). L0 compaction will be
prioritized over gc compaction.
## Summary of changes
* Add compaction scheduler in tenant.
* Run scheduled compaction in integration tests.
* Change the manual compaction API to allow schedule a compaction
instead of immediately doing it.
* Add LSN upper bound as gc-compaction parameter. If we schedule partial
compactions, gc_cutoff might move across different runs. Therefore, we
need to pass a pre-determined gc_cutoff beforehand. (TODO: support LSN
lower bound so that we can compact arbitrary "rectangle" in the layer
map)

## Problem
We need a higher concurrency during reconfiguration in case of many DBs,
but the instance is already running and used by the client. We can
easily get out of `max_connections` limit, and the current code won't
handle that.
## Summary of changes
Default to 1, but also allow control plane to override this value for
specific projects. It's also recommended to bump
`superuser_reserved_connections` += `reconfigure_concurrency` for such
projects to ensure that we always have enough spare connections for
reconfiguration process to succeed.
Quick workaround for neondatabase/cloud#17846
## Problem
The node shard scan timeout of 1 second is a bit too aggressive, and
we've seen this cause test failures. The scans are performed in parallel
across nodes, and the entire operation has a 15 second timeout.
Resolves#9801.
## Summary of changes
Increase the timeout to 5 seconds. This is still enough to time out on a
network failure and retry successfully within 15 seconds.
Like #9931 but without rebasing upstream just yet, to try and minimise
the differences.
Removes all proxy-specific commits from the rust-postgres fork, now that
proxy no longer depends on them. Merging upstream changes to come later.
Closes#9387.
## Problem
`BufferedWriter` cannot proceed while the owned buffer is flushing to
disk. We want to implement double buffering so that the flush can happen
in the background. See #9387.
## Summary of changes
- Maintain two owned buffers in `BufferedWriter`.
- The writer is in charge of copying the data into owned, aligned
buffer, once full, submit it to the flush task.
- The flush background task is in charge of flushing the owned buffer to
disk, and returned the buffer to the writer for reuse.
- The writer and the flush background task communicate through a
bi-directional channel.
For in-memory layer, we also need to be able to read from the buffered
writer in `get_values_reconstruct_data`. To handle this case, we did the
following
- Use replace `VirtualFile::write_all` with `VirtualFile::write_all_at`,
and use `Arc` to share it between writer and background task.
- leverage `IoBufferMut::freeze` to get a cheaply clonable `IoBuffer`,
one clone will be submitted to the channel, the other clone will be
saved within the writer to serve reads. When we want to reuse the
buffer, we can invoke `IoBuffer::into_mut`, which gives us back the
mutable aligned buffer.
- InMemoryLayer reads is now aware of the maybe_flushed part of the
buffer.
**Caveat**
- We removed the owned version of write, because this interface does not
work well with buffer alignment. The result is that without direct IO
enabled,
[`download_object`](a439d57050/pageserver/src/tenant/remote_timeline_client/download.rs (L243))
does one more memcpy than before this PR due to the switch to use
`_borrowed` version of the write.
- "Bypass aligned part of write" could be implemented later to avoid
large amount of memcpy.
**Testing**
- use an oneshot channel based control mechanism to make flush behavior
deterministic in test.
- test reading from `EphemeralFile` when the last submitted buffer is
not flushed, in-progress, and done flushing to disk.
## Performance
We see performance improvement for small values, and regression on big
values, likely due to being CPU bound + disk write latency.

## Problem
We have a scale test for the storage controller which also acts as a
good stress test for scheduling stability. However, it created nodes
with no AZs set.
## Summary of changes
- Bump node count to 6 and set AZs on them.
This is a precursor to other AZ-related PRs, to make sure any new code
that's landed is getting scale tested in an AZ-aware environment.
## Problem
We practice a manual release flow for the compute module. This will

## Problem
Reqwest errors don't include details about the inner source error. This
means that we get opaque errors like:
```
receive body: error sending request for url (http://localhost:9898/v1/location_config)
```
Instead of the more helpful:
```
receive body: error sending request for url (http://localhost:9898/v1/location_config): operation timed out
```
Touches #9801.
## Summary of changes
Include the source error for `reqwest::Error` wherever it's displayed.
## Problem
When client specifies `application_name`, pgbouncer propagates it to the
Postgres. Yet, if client doesn't do it, we have hard time figuring out
who opens a lot of Postgres connections (including the `cloud_admin`
ones).
See this investigation as an example:
https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C0836R0RZ0D
## Summary of changes
I haven't found this documented, but it looks like pgbouncer accepts
standard Postgres connstring parameters in the connstring in the
`[databases]` section, so put the default `application_name=pgbouncer`
there. That way, we will always see who opens Postgres connections. I
did tests, and if client specifies a `application_name`, pgbouncer
overrides this default, so it only works if it's not specified or set to
blank `&application_name=` in the connection string.
This is the last place we could potentially open some Postgres
connections without `application_name`. Everything else should be either
of two:
1. Direct client connections without `application_name`, but these
should be strictly non-`cloud_admin` ones
2. Some ad-hoc internal connections, so if we see spikes of unidentified
`cloud_admin` connections, we will need to investigate it again.

## Summary of changes
- `test_page_service_batching`: save non-numeric params as `labels`
- Add a runtime check that `metric_value` is NUMERIC
Before this PR, some override callbacks used `.default()`, others
used `.setdefault()`.
As of this PR, all callbacks use `.setdefault()` which I think is least
prone to failure.
Aligning on a single way will set the right example for future tests
that need such customization.
The `test_pageserver_getpage_throttle.py` technically is a change in
behavior: before, it replaced the `tenant_config` field, now it just
configures the throttle. This is what I believe is intended anyway.
Support tenant manifests in the storage scrubber:
* list the manifests, order them by generation
* delete all manifests except for the two most recent generations
* for the latest manifest: try parsing it.
I've tested this patch by running the against a staging bucket and it
successfully deleted stuff (and avoided deleting the latest two
generations).
In follow-up work, we might want to also check some invariants of the
manifest, as mentioned in #8088.

## Problem
The Pageserver signal handler would only respond to a single signal and
initiate shutdown. Subsequent signals were ignored. This meant that a
`SIGQUIT` sent after a `SIGTERM` had no effect (e.g. in the case of a
slow or stalled shutdown). The `test_runner` uses this to force shutdown
if graceful shutdown is slow.
Touches #9740.
## Summary of changes
Keep responding to signals after the initial shutdown signal has been
received.
Arguably, the `test_runner` should also use `SIGKILL` rather than
`SIGQUIT` in this case, but it seems reasonable to respond to `SIGQUIT`
regardless.
Keeping the `mock` postgres cplane adaptor using "stock" tokio-postgres
allows us to remove a lot of dead weight from our actual postgres
connection logic.
## Problem
We saw a peculiar case where a pageserver apparently got a 0-tenant
response to `/re-attach` but we couldn't see the request landing on a
storage controller. It was hard to confirm retrospectively that the
pageserver was configured properly at the moment it sent the request.
## Summary of changes
- Log the URL to which we are sending the request
- Log the NodeId and metadata that we sent
## Problem
Sharded tenants should be run in a single AZ for best performance, so
that computes have AZ-local latency to all the shards.
Part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8264
## Summary of changes
- When we split a tenant, instead of updating each shard's preferred AZ
to wherever it is scheduled, propagate the preferred AZ from the parent.
- Drop the check in `test_shard_preferred_azs` that asserts shards end
up in their preferred AZ: this will not be true again until the
optimize_attachment logic is updated to make this so. The existing check
wasn't testing anything about scheduling, it was just asserting that we
set preferred AZ in a way that matches the way things happen to be
scheduled at time of split.
## Problem
In the batching PR
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9870
I stopped deducting the time-spent-in-throttle fro latency metrics,
i.e.,
- smgr latency metrics (`SmgrOpTimer`)
- basebackup latency (+scan latency, which I think is part of
basebackup).
The reason for stopping the deduction was that with the introduction of
batching, the trick with tracking time-spent-in-throttle inside
RequestContext and swap-replacing it from the `impl Drop for
SmgrOpTimer` no longer worked with >1 requests in a batch.
However, deducting time-spent-in-throttle is desirable because our
internal latency SLO definition does not account for throttling.
## Summary of changes
- Redefine throttling to be a page_service pagestream request throttle
instead of a throttle for repository `Key` reads through `Timeline::get`
/ `Timeline::get_vectored`.
- This means reads done by `basebackup` are no longer subject to any
throttle.
- The throttle applies after batching, before handling of the request.
- Drive-by fix: make throttle sensitive to cancellation.
- Rename metric label `kind` from `timeline_get` to `pagestream` to
reflect the new scope of throttling.
To avoid config format breakage, we leave the config field named
`timeline_get_throttle` and ignore the `task_kinds` field.
This will be cleaned up in a future PR.
## Trade-Offs
Ideally, we would apply the throttle before reading a request off the
connection, so that we queue the minimal amount of work inside the
process.
However, that's not possible because we need to do shard routing.
The redefinition of the throttle to limit pagestream request rate
instead of repository `Key` rate comes with several downsides:
- We're no longer able to use the throttle mechanism for other other
tasks, e.g. image layer creation.
However, in practice, we never used that capability anyways.
- We no longer throttle basebackup.
## Problem
`test_sharded_ingest` ingests a lot of data, which can cause shutdown to
be slow e.g. due to local "S3 uploads" or compactions. This can cause
test flakes during teardown.
Resolves#9740.
## Summary of changes
Perform an immediate shutdown of the cluster.
## Problem
We don't have good observability for memory usage. This would be useful
e.g. to debug OOM incidents or optimize performance or resource usage.
We would also like to use continuous profiling with e.g. [Grafana Cloud
Profiles](https://grafana.com/products/cloud/profiles-for-continuous-profiling/)
(see https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/14888).
This PR is intended as a proof of concept, to try it out in staging and
drive further discussions about profiling more broadly.

Depends on #9779.
Depends on #9780.
## Summary of changes
Adds a HTTP route `/profile/heap` that takes a heap profile and returns
it. Query parameters:
* `format`: output format (`jemalloc` or `pprof`; default `pprof`).
Unlike CPU profiles (see #9764), heap profiles are not symbolized and
require the original binary to translate addresses to function names. To
make this work with Grafana, we'll probably have to symbolize the
process server-side -- this is left as future work, as is other output
formats like SVG.
Heap profiles don't work on macOS due to limitations in jemalloc.
## Problem
The extensions for Postgres v17 are ready but we do not test the
extensions shipped with v17
## Summary of changes

This PR
- fixes smgr metrics https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9925
- adds an additional startup log line logging the current batching
config
- adds a histogram of batch sizes global and per-tenant
- adds a metric exposing the current batching config
The issue described #9925 is that before this PR, request latency was
only observed *after* batching.
This means that smgr latency metrics (most importantly getpage latency)
don't account for
- `wait_lsn` time
- time spent waiting for batch to fill up / the executor stage to pick
up the batch.
The fix is to use a per-request batching timer, like we did before the
initial batching PR.
We funnel those timers through the entire request lifecycle.
I noticed that even before the initial batching changes, we weren't
accounting for the time spent writing & flushing the response to the
wire.
This PR drive-by fixes that deficiency by dropping the timers at the
very end of processing the batch, i.e., after the `pgb.flush()` call.
I was **unable to maintain the behavior that we deduct
time-spent-in-throttle from various latency metrics.
The reason is that we're using a *single* counter in `RequestContext` to
track micros spent in throttle.
But there are *N* metrics timers in the batch, one per request.
As a consequence, the practice of consuming the counter in the drop
handler of each timer no longer works because all but the first timer
will encounter error `close() called on closed state`.
A failed attempt to maintain the current behavior can be found in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9951.
So, this PR remvoes the deduction behavior from all metrics.
I started a discussion on Slack about it the implications this has for
our internal SLO calculation:

Before this PR, the storcon_cli didn't have a way to show the
tenant-wide information of the TenantDescribeResponse.
Sadly, the `Serialize` impl for the tenant config doesn't skip on
`None`, so, the output becomes a bit bloated.
Maybe we can use `skip_serializing_if(Option::is_none)` in the future.

## Problem
I was touching `test_storage_controller_node_deletion` because for AZ
scheduling work I was adding a change to the storage controller (kick
secondaries during optimisation) that made a FIXME in this test defunct.
While looking at it I also realized that we can easily fix the way node
deletion currently doesn't use a proper ScheduleContext, using the
iterator type recently added for that purpose.
## Summary of changes
- A testing-only behavior in storage controller where if a secondary
location isn't yet ready during optimisation, it will be actively
polled.
- Remove workaround in `test_storage_controller_node_deletion` that
previously was needed because optimisation would get stuck on cold
secondaries.
- Update node deletion code to use a `TenantShardContextIterator` and
thereby a proper ScheduleContext
## Problem
After enabling LFC in tests and lowering `shared_buffers` we started
having more problems with `test_pg_regress`.
## Summary of changes
Set `shared_buffers` to 1MB to both exercise getPage requests/LFC, and
still have enough room for Postgres to operate. Everything smaller might
be not enough for Postgres under load, and can cause errors like 'no
unpinned buffers available'.
See Konstantin's comment [1] as well.

which caused us to not write out the neon.extension_server_port line.
Thus, Postgres thought we were setting the port to the default value of

following log messages:

This refactors `connect_raw` in order to return direct access to the
delayed notices.
I cannot find a way to test this with psycopg2 unfortunately, although
testing it with psql does return the expected results.
## Problem
We can't easily tell how far the state of shards is from their AZ
preferences. This can be a cause of performance issues, so it's
important for diagnosability that we can tell easily if there are
significant numbers of shards that aren't running in their preferred AZ.
Related: https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/15413
## Summary of changes
- In reconcile_all, count shards that are scheduled into the wrong AZ
(if they have a preference), and publish it as a prometheus gauge.
- Also calculate a statistic for how many shards wanted to reconcile but
couldn't.
This is clearly a lazy calculation: reconcile all only runs
periodically. But that's okay: shards in the wrong AZ is something that
only matters if it stays that way for some period of time.
Improves `wait_until` by:
* Use `timeout` instead of `iterations`. This allows changing the
timeout/interval parameters independently.
* Make `timeout` and `interval` optional (default 20s and 0.5s). Most
callers don't care.
* Only output status every 1s by default, and add optional
`status_interval` parameter.
* Remove `show_intermediate_error`, this was always emitted anyway.
Most callers have been updated to use the defaults, except where they
had good reason otherwise.
## Problem
We saw unexpected container terminations when running in k8s with with
small CPU resource requests.
The /status and /ready handlers called `maybe_forward`, which always
takes the lock on Service::inner.
If there is a lot of writer lock contention, and the container is
starved of CPU, this increases the likelihood that we will get killed by
the kubelet.
It isn't certain that this was a cause of issues, but it is a potential
source that we can eliminate.
## Summary of changes
- Revise logic to return immediately if the URL is in the non-forwarded
list, rather than calling maybe_forward

# Problem
The timeout-based batching adds latency to unbatchable workloads.
We can choose a short batching timeout (e.g. 10us) but that requires
high-resolution timers, which tokio doesn't have.
I thoroughly explored options to use OS timers (see
[this](https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9822) abandoned PR).
In short, it's not an attractive option because any timer implementation
adds non-trivial overheads.
# Solution
The insight is that, in the steady state of a batchable workload, the
time we spend in `get_vectored` will be hundreds of microseconds anyway.
If we prepare the next batch concurrently to `get_vectored`, we will
have a sizeable batch ready once `get_vectored` of the current batch is
done and do not need an explicit timeout.
This can be reasonably described as **pipelining of the protocol
handler**.
# Implementation
We model the sub-protocol handler for pagestream requests
(`handle_pagrequests`) as two futures that form a pipeline:
2. Batching: read requests from the connection and fill the current
batch
3. Execution: `take` the current batch, execute it using `get_vectored`,
and send the response.
The Reading and Batching stage are connected through a new type of
channel called `spsc_fold`.
See the long comment in the `handle_pagerequests_pipelined` for details.
# Changes
- Refactor `handle_pagerequests`
- separate functions for
- reading one protocol message; produces a `BatchedFeMessage` with just
one page request in it
- batching; tried to merge an incoming `BatchedFeMessage` into an
existing `BatchedFeMessage`; returns `None` on success and returns back
the incoming message in case merging isn't possible
- execution of a batched message
- unify the timeline handle acquisition & request span construction; it
now happen in the function that reads the protocol message
- Implement serial and pipelined model
- serial: what we had before any of the batching changes
- read one protocol message
- execute protocol messages
- pipelined: the design described above
- optionality for execution of the pipeline: either via concurrent
futures vs tokio tasks
- Pageserver config
- remove batching timeout field
- add ability to configure pipelining mode
- add ability to limit max batch size for pipelined configurations
(required for the rollout, cf
https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/20620 )
- ability to configure execution mode
- Tests
- remove `batch_timeout` parametrization
- rename `test_getpage_merge_smoke` to `test_throughput`
- add parametrization to test different max batch sizes and execution
moes
- rename `test_timer_precision` to `test_latency`
- rename the test case file to `test_page_service_batching.py`
- better descriptions of what the tests actually do
## On the holding The `TimelineHandle` in the pending batch
While batching, we hold the `TimelineHandle` in the pending batch.
Therefore, the timeline will not finish shutting down while we're
batching.
This is not a problem in practice because the concurrently ongoing
`get_vectored` call will fail quickly with an error indicating that the
timeline is shutting down.
This results in the Execution stage returning a `QueryError::Shutdown`,
which causes the pipeline / entire page service connection to shut down.
This drops all references to the
`Arc<Mutex<Option<Box<BatchedFeMessage>>>>` object, thereby dropping the
contained `TimelineHandle`s.

workloads (=lower `time` metric)
* In unbatchable workloads, `concurrent-futures` has 5% higher
`CPU-per-throughput` than that of `tasks`, and 15% higher than that of
`serial`.
* In batchable-32 workload, `concurrent-futures` has 8% lower
`CPU-per-throughput` than that of `tasks` (comparison to tput of
`serial` is irrelevant)
* in unbatchable workloads, mean and tail latencies of
`concurrent-futures` is practically identical to `serial`, whereas
`tasks` adds 20-30us of overhead
Overall, `concurrent-futures` seems like a slightly more attractive
choice.

## Problem
It appears that the Azure storage API tends to hang TCP connections more
than S3 does.
Currently we use a 2 minute timeout for all downloads. This is large
because sometimes the objects we download are large. However, waiting 2
minutes when doing something like downloading a manifest on tenant
attach is problematic, because when someone is doing a "create tenant,
create timeline" workflow, that 2 minutes is long enough for them
reasonably to give up creating that timeline.
Rather than propagate oversized timeouts further up the stack, we should
use a different timeout for objects that we expect to be small.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9836
## Summary of changes
- Add a `small_timeout` configuration attribute to remote storage,
defaulting to 30 seconds (still a very generous period to do something
like download an index)
- Add a DownloadKind parameter to DownloadOpts, so that callers can
indicate whether they expect the object to be small or large.
- In the azure client, use small timeout for HEAD requests, and for GET
requests if DownloadKind::Small is used.
- Use DownloadKind::Small for manifests, indices, and heatmap downloads.
This PR intentionally does not make the equivalent change to the S3
client, to reduce blast radius in case this has unexpected consequences
(we could accomplish the same thing by editing lots of configs, but just
skipping the code is simpler for right now)
## Problem
It was not always possible to judge what exactly some `cloud_admin`
connections were doing because we didn't consistently set
`application_name` everywhere.
## Summary of changes
Unify the way we connect to Postgres:
1. Switch to building configs everywhere
2. Always set `application_name` and make naming consistent
Follow-up for #9919

## Problem
To add Safekeeper heap profiling in #9778, we need to switch to an
allocator that supports it. Pageserver and proxy already use jemalloc.
Touches #9534.
## Summary of changes
Use jemalloc in Safekeeper.
## Problem
When picking locations for a shard, we should use a ScheduleContext that
includes all the other shards in the tenant, so that we apply proper
anti-affinity between shards. If we don't do this, then it can lead to
unstable scheduling, where we place a shard somewhere that the optimizer
will then immediately move it away from.
We didn't always do this, because it was a bit awkward to accumulate the
context for a tenant rather than just walking tenants.
This was a TODO in `handle_node_availability_transition`:
```
// TODO: populate a ScheduleContext including all shards in the same tenant_id (only matters
// for tenants without secondary locations: if they have a secondary location, then this
// schedule() call is just promoting an existing secondary)
```
This is a precursor to https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8264,
where the current imperfect scheduling during node evacuation hampers
testing.
## Summary of changes
- Add an iterator type that yields each shard along with a
schedulecontext that includes all the other shards from the same tenant
- Use the iterator to replace hand-crafted logic in optimize_all_plan
(functionally identical)
- Use the iterator in `handle_node_availability_transition` to apply
proper anti-affinity during node evacuation.
Our rust-postgres fork is getting messy. Mostly because proxy wants more
control over the raw protocol than tokio-postgres provides. As such,
it's diverging more and more. Storage and compute also make use of
rust-postgres, but in more normal usage, thus they don't need our crazy
changes.
Idea:
* proxy maintains their subset
* other teams use a minimal patch set against upstream rust-postgres
Reviewing this code will be difficult. To implement it, I
1. Copied tokio-postgres, postgres-protocol and postgres-types from
00940fcdb5
2. Updated their package names with the `2` suffix to make them compile
in the workspace.
3. Updated proxy to use those packages
4. Copied in the code from tokio-postgres-rustls 0.13 (with some patches
applied https://github.com/jbg/tokio-postgres-rustls/pull/32https://github.com/jbg/tokio-postgres-rustls/pull/33)
5. Removed as much dead code as I could find in the vendored libraries
6. Updated the tokio-postgres-rustls code to use our existing channel
binding implementation
Adds a benchmark for logical message WAL ingestion throughput
end-to-end. Logical messages are essentially noops, and thus ignored by
the Pageserver.

```
postgres_ingest: 14.445 s
safekeeper_ingest: 29.948 s

## Problem
We used `set_path()` to replace the database name in the connection
string. It automatically does url-safe encoding if the path is not
already encoded, but it does it as per the URL standard, which assumes
that tabs can be safely removed from the path without changing the
meaning of the URL. See, e.g.,
https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-basic-url-parser. It also breaks
for DBs with properly %-encoded names, like with `%20`, as they are kept
intact, but actually should be escaped.
Yet, this is not true for Postgres, where it's completely valid to have
trailing tabs in the database name.
I think this is the PR that caused this regression
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9717, as it switched from
`postgres::config::Config` back to `set_path()`.
This was fixed a while ago already [1], btw, I just haven't added a test
to catch this regression back then :(
## Summary of changes
This commit changes the code back to use
`postgres/tokio_postgres::Config` everywhere.
While on it, also do some changes around, as I had to touch this code:
1. Bump some logging from `debug` to `info` in the spec apply path. We
do not use `debug` in prod, and it was tricky to understand what was
going on with this bug in prod.
2. Refactor configuration concurrency calculation code so it was
reusable. Yet, still keep `1` in the case of reconfiguration. The
database can be actively used at this moment, so we cannot guarantee
that there will be enough spare connection slots, and the underlying
code won't handle connection errors properly.
3. Simplify the installed extensions code. It was spawning a blocking
task inside async function, which doesn't make much sense. Instead, just
have a main sync function and call it with `spawn_blocking` in the API
code -- the only place we need it to be async.
4. Add regression python test to cover this and related problems in the
future. Also, add more extensive testing of schema dump and DBs and
roles listing API.

## Problem
Currently, we rerun only known flaky tests. This approach was chosen to
reduce the number of tests that go unnoticed (by forcing people to take
a look at failed tests and rerun the job manually), but it has some
drawbacks:
- In PRs, people tend to push new changes without checking failed tests
(that's ok)
- In the main, tests are just restarted without checking
(understandable)
- Parametrised tests become flaky one by one, i.e. if `test[1]` is flaky
`, test[2]` is not marked as flaky automatically (which may or may not
be the case).
I suggest rerunning all failed tests to increase the stability of GitHub
jobs and using the Grafana Dashboard with flaky tests for deeper
analysis.
## Summary of changes
- Rerun all failed tests twice at max
## Problem
For the interpreted proto the pageserver is not returning the correct
LSN
in replies to keep alive requests. This is because the interpreted
protocol arm
was not updating `last_rec_lsn`.
## Summary of changes
* Return correct LSN in keep-alive responses
* Fix shard field in wal sender traces
We keep the practice of keeping the compiler up to date, pointing to the
latest release. This is done by many other projects in the Rust
ecosystem as well.
[Release notes](https://releases.rs/docs/1.83.0/).
Also update `cargo-hakari`, `cargo-deny`, `cargo-hack` and
`cargo-nextest` to their latest versions.
Prior update was in #9445.
## Problem
We currently see elevated levels of errors for GetBlob requests. This is
because 404 and 304 are counted as errors for metric reporting.
## Summary of Changes
Bring the implementation in line with the S3 client and treat 404 and
304 responses as ok for metric purposes.

## Problem
For cancellation, a connection is open during all the cancel checks.
## Summary of changes
Spawn cancellation checks in the background, and close connection
immediately.
Use task_tracker for cancellation checks.
Like #9931 but without rebasing upstream just yet, to try and minimise
the differences.
Removes all proxy-specific commits from the rust-postgres fork, now that
proxy no longer depends on them. Merging upstream changes to come later.
Closes#9387.
## Problem
`BufferedWriter` cannot proceed while the owned buffer is flushing to
disk. We want to implement double buffering so that the flush can happen
in the background. See #9387.
## Summary of changes
- Maintain two owned buffers in `BufferedWriter`.
- The writer is in charge of copying the data into owned, aligned
buffer, once full, submit it to the flush task.
- The flush background task is in charge of flushing the owned buffer to
disk, and returned the buffer to the writer for reuse.
- The writer and the flush background task communicate through a
bi-directional channel.
For in-memory layer, we also need to be able to read from the buffered
writer in `get_values_reconstruct_data`. To handle this case, we did the
following
- Use replace `VirtualFile::write_all` with `VirtualFile::write_all_at`,
and use `Arc` to share it between writer and background task.
- leverage `IoBufferMut::freeze` to get a cheaply clonable `IoBuffer`,
one clone will be submitted to the channel, the other clone will be
saved within the writer to serve reads. When we want to reuse the
buffer, we can invoke `IoBuffer::into_mut`, which gives us back the
mutable aligned buffer.
- InMemoryLayer reads is now aware of the maybe_flushed part of the
buffer.
**Caveat**
- We removed the owned version of write, because this interface does not
work well with buffer alignment. The result is that without direct IO
enabled,
[`download_object`](a439d57050/pageserver/src/tenant/remote_timeline_client/download.rs (L243))
does one more memcpy than before this PR due to the switch to use
`_borrowed` version of the write.
- "Bypass aligned part of write" could be implemented later to avoid
large amount of memcpy.
**Testing**
- use an oneshot channel based control mechanism to make flush behavior
deterministic in test.
- test reading from `EphemeralFile` when the last submitted buffer is
not flushed, in-progress, and done flushing to disk.
## Performance
We see performance improvement for small values, and regression on big
values, likely due to being CPU bound + disk write latency.

## Problem
Reqwest errors don't include details about the inner source error. This
means that we get opaque errors like:
```
receive body: error sending request for url (http://localhost:9898/v1/location_config)
```
Instead of the more helpful:
```
receive body: error sending request for url (http://localhost:9898/v1/location_config): operation timed out
```
Touches #9801.
## Summary of changes
Include the source error for `reqwest::Error` wherever it's displayed.
## Problem
When client specifies `application_name`, pgbouncer propagates it to the
Postgres. Yet, if client doesn't do it, we have hard time figuring out
who opens a lot of Postgres connections (including the `cloud_admin`
ones).
See this investigation as an example:
https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C0836R0RZ0D
## Summary of changes
I haven't found this documented, but it looks like pgbouncer accepts
standard Postgres connstring parameters in the connstring in the
`[databases]` section, so put the default `application_name=pgbouncer`
there. That way, we will always see who opens Postgres connections. I
did tests, and if client specifies a `application_name`, pgbouncer
overrides this default, so it only works if it's not specified or set to
blank `&application_name=` in the connection string.
This is the last place we could potentially open some Postgres
connections without `application_name`. Everything else should be either
of two:
1. Direct client connections without `application_name`, but these
should be strictly non-`cloud_admin` ones
2. Some ad-hoc internal connections, so if we see spikes of unidentified
`cloud_admin` connections, we will need to investigate it again.

Make the secondary tenant scheduler use `ApiError` rather than
`anyhow::Error`, to propagate the tenant error and convert it to an
appropriate status code.

## Summary of changes
- `test_page_service_batching`: save non-numeric params as `labels`
- Add a runtime check that `metric_value` is NUMERIC
Before this PR, some override callbacks used `.default()`, others
used `.setdefault()`.
As of this PR, all callbacks use `.setdefault()` which I think is least
prone to failure.
Aligning on a single way will set the right example for future tests
that need such customization.
The `test_pageserver_getpage_throttle.py` technically is a change in
behavior: before, it replaced the `tenant_config` field, now it just
configures the throttle. This is what I believe is intended anyway.
Support tenant manifests in the storage scrubber:
* list the manifests, order them by generation
* delete all manifests except for the two most recent generations
* for the latest manifest: try parsing it.
I've tested this patch by running the against a staging bucket and it
successfully deleted stuff (and avoided deleting the latest two
generations).
In follow-up work, we might want to also check some invariants of the
manifest, as mentioned in #8088.

## Problem
The Pageserver signal handler would only respond to a single signal and
initiate shutdown. Subsequent signals were ignored. This meant that a
`SIGQUIT` sent after a `SIGTERM` had no effect (e.g. in the case of a
slow or stalled shutdown). The `test_runner` uses this to force shutdown
if graceful shutdown is slow.
Touches #9740.
## Summary of changes
Keep responding to signals after the initial shutdown signal has been
received.
Arguably, the `test_runner` should also use `SIGKILL` rather than
`SIGQUIT` in this case, but it seems reasonable to respond to `SIGQUIT`
regardless.
Keeping the `mock` postgres cplane adaptor using "stock" tokio-postgres
allows us to remove a lot of dead weight from our actual postgres
connection logic.
## Problem
We saw a peculiar case where a pageserver apparently got a 0-tenant
response to `/re-attach` but we couldn't see the request landing on a
storage controller. It was hard to confirm retrospectively that the
pageserver was configured properly at the moment it sent the request.
## Summary of changes
- Log the URL to which we are sending the request
- Log the NodeId and metadata that we sent
## Problem
Sharded tenants should be run in a single AZ for best performance, so
that computes have AZ-local latency to all the shards.
Part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8264
## Summary of changes
- When we split a tenant, instead of updating each shard's preferred AZ
to wherever it is scheduled, propagate the preferred AZ from the parent.
- Drop the check in `test_shard_preferred_azs` that asserts shards end
up in their preferred AZ: this will not be true again until the
optimize_attachment logic is updated to make this so. The existing check
wasn't testing anything about scheduling, it was just asserting that we
set preferred AZ in a way that matches the way things happen to be
scheduled at time of split.
## Problem
In the batching PR
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9870
I stopped deducting the time-spent-in-throttle fro latency metrics,
i.e.,
- smgr latency metrics (`SmgrOpTimer`)
- basebackup latency (+scan latency, which I think is part of
basebackup).
The reason for stopping the deduction was that with the introduction of
batching, the trick with tracking time-spent-in-throttle inside
RequestContext and swap-replacing it from the `impl Drop for
SmgrOpTimer` no longer worked with >1 requests in a batch.
However, deducting time-spent-in-throttle is desirable because our
internal latency SLO definition does not account for throttling.
## Summary of changes
- Redefine throttling to be a page_service pagestream request throttle
instead of a throttle for repository `Key` reads through `Timeline::get`
/ `Timeline::get_vectored`.
- This means reads done by `basebackup` are no longer subject to any
throttle.
- The throttle applies after batching, before handling of the request.
- Drive-by fix: make throttle sensitive to cancellation.
- Rename metric label `kind` from `timeline_get` to `pagestream` to
reflect the new scope of throttling.
To avoid config format breakage, we leave the config field named
`timeline_get_throttle` and ignore the `task_kinds` field.
This will be cleaned up in a future PR.
## Trade-Offs
Ideally, we would apply the throttle before reading a request off the
connection, so that we queue the minimal amount of work inside the
process.
However, that's not possible because we need to do shard routing.
The redefinition of the throttle to limit pagestream request rate
instead of repository `Key` rate comes with several downsides:
- We're no longer able to use the throttle mechanism for other other
tasks, e.g. image layer creation.
However, in practice, we never used that capability anyways.
- We no longer throttle basebackup.
## Problem
`test_sharded_ingest` ingests a lot of data, which can cause shutdown to
be slow e.g. due to local "S3 uploads" or compactions. This can cause
test flakes during teardown.
Resolves#9740.
## Summary of changes
Perform an immediate shutdown of the cluster.
## Problem
We don't have good observability for memory usage. This would be useful
e.g. to debug OOM incidents or optimize performance or resource usage.
We would also like to use continuous profiling with e.g. [Grafana Cloud
Profiles](https://grafana.com/products/cloud/profiles-for-continuous-profiling/)
(see https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/14888).
This PR is intended as a proof of concept, to try it out in staging and
drive further discussions about profiling more broadly.

## Summary of changes
Adds a HTTP route `/profile/heap` that takes a heap profile and returns
it. Query parameters:
* `format`: output format (`jemalloc` or `pprof`; default `pprof`).
Unlike CPU profiles (see #9764), heap profiles are not symbolized and
require the original binary to translate addresses to function names. To
make this work with Grafana, we'll probably have to symbolize the
process server-side -- this is left as future work, as is other output
formats like SVG.
Heap profiles don't work on macOS due to limitations in jemalloc.

The extensions for Postgres v17 are ready but we do not test the
extensions shipped with v17

This PR
- fixes smgr metrics https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9925
- adds an additional startup log line logging the current batching
config
- adds a histogram of batch sizes global and per-tenant
- adds a metric exposing the current batching config
The issue described #9925 is that before this PR, request latency was
only observed *after* batching.
This means that smgr latency metrics (most importantly getpage latency)
don't account for
- `wait_lsn` time
- time spent waiting for batch to fill up / the executor stage to pick
up the batch.
The fix is to use a per-request batching timer, like we did before the
initial batching PR.
We funnel those timers through the entire request lifecycle.
I noticed that even before the initial batching changes, we weren't
accounting for the time spent writing & flushing the response to the
wire.
This PR drive-by fixes that deficiency by dropping the timers at the
very end of processing the batch, i.e., after the `pgb.flush()` call.
I was **unable to maintain the behavior that we deduct
time-spent-in-throttle from various latency metrics.
The reason is that we're using a *single* counter in `RequestContext` to
track micros spent in throttle.
But there are *N* metrics timers in the batch, one per request.
As a consequence, the practice of consuming the counter in the drop
handler of each timer no longer works because all but the first timer
will encounter error `close() called on closed state`.
A failed attempt to maintain the current behavior can be found in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9951.
So, this PR remvoes the deduction behavior from all metrics.
I started a discussion on Slack about it the implications this has for
our internal SLO calculation:

Before this PR, the storcon_cli didn't have a way to show the
tenant-wide information of the TenantDescribeResponse.
Sadly, the `Serialize` impl for the tenant config doesn't skip on
`None`, so, the output becomes a bit bloated.
Maybe we can use `skip_serializing_if(Option::is_none)` in the future.

## Problem
I was touching `test_storage_controller_node_deletion` because for AZ
scheduling work I was adding a change to the storage controller (kick
secondaries during optimisation) that made a FIXME in this test defunct.
While looking at it I also realized that we can easily fix the way node
deletion currently doesn't use a proper ScheduleContext, using the
iterator type recently added for that purpose.
## Summary of changes
- A testing-only behavior in storage controller where if a secondary
location isn't yet ready during optimisation, it will be actively
polled.
- Remove workaround in `test_storage_controller_node_deletion` that

## Problem
After enabling LFC in tests and lowering `shared_buffers` we started
having more problems with `test_pg_regress`.
## Summary of changes
Set `shared_buffers` to 1MB to both exercise getPage requests/LFC, and
still have enough room for Postgres to operate. Everything smaller might
be not enough for Postgres under load, and can cause errors like 'no
unpinned buffers available'.
See Konstantin's comment [1] as well.

On reconfigure, we no longer passed a port for the extension server
which caused us to not write out the neon.extension_server_port line.
Thus, Postgres thought we were setting the port to the default value of
0. PGC_POSTMASTER GUCs cannot be set at runtime, which causes the
following log messages:
> LOG: parameter "neon.extension_server_port" cannot be changed without
restarting the server
> LOG: configuration file

This refactors `connect_raw` in order to return direct access to the

I cannot find a way to test this with psycopg2 unfortunately, although

## Problem
We can't easily tell how far the state of shards is from their AZ
preferences. This can be a cause of performance issues, so it's
important for diagnosability that we can tell easily if there are
significant numbers of shards that aren't running in their preferred AZ.
Related: https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/15413
## Summary of changes
- In reconcile_all, count shards that are scheduled into the wrong AZ
(if they have a preference), and publish it as a prometheus gauge.
- Also calculate a statistic for how many shards wanted to reconcile but
couldn't.
This is clearly a lazy calculation: reconcile all only runs
periodically. But that's okay: shards in the wrong AZ is something that
only matters if it stays that way for some period of time.
Improves `wait_until` by:
* Use `timeout` instead of `iterations`. This allows changing the
timeout/interval parameters independently.
* Make `timeout` and `interval` optional (default 20s and 0.5s). Most
callers don't care.
* Only output status every 1s by default, and add optional
`status_interval` parameter.
* Remove `show_intermediate_error`, this was always emitted anyway.
Most callers have been updated to use the defaults, except where they
had good reason otherwise.
## Problem
We saw unexpected container terminations when running in k8s with with
small CPU resource requests.
The /status and /ready handlers called `maybe_forward`, which always
takes the lock on Service::inner.
If there is a lot of writer lock contention, and the container is
starved of CPU, this increases the likelihood that we will get killed by
the kubelet.
It isn't certain that this was a cause of issues, but it is a potential
source that we can eliminate.
## Summary of changes
- Revise logic to return immediately if the URL is in the non-forwarded
list, rather than calling maybe_forward

# Problem
The timeout-based batching adds latency to unbatchable workloads.
We can choose a short batching timeout (e.g. 10us) but that requires
high-resolution timers, which tokio doesn't have.
I thoroughly explored options to use OS timers (see
[this](https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9822) abandoned PR).
In short, it's not an attractive option because any timer implementation
adds non-trivial overheads.
# Solution
The insight is that, in the steady state of a batchable workload, the
time we spend in `get_vectored` will be hundreds of microseconds anyway.
If we prepare the next batch concurrently to `get_vectored`, we will
have a sizeable batch ready once `get_vectored` of the current batch is
done and do not need an explicit timeout.
This can be reasonably described as **pipelining of the protocol
handler**.
# Implementation
We model the sub-protocol handler for pagestream requests
(`handle_pagrequests`) as two futures that form a pipeline:
2. Batching: read requests from the connection and fill the current
batch
3. Execution: `take` the current batch, execute it using `get_vectored`,
and send the response.
The Reading and Batching stage are connected through a new type of
channel called `spsc_fold`.
See the long comment in the `handle_pagerequests_pipelined` for details.
# Changes
- Refactor `handle_pagerequests`
- separate functions for
- reading one protocol message; produces a `BatchedFeMessage` with just
one page request in it
- batching; tried to merge an incoming `BatchedFeMessage` into an
existing `BatchedFeMessage`; returns `None` on success and returns back
the incoming message in case merging isn't possible
- execution of a batched message
- unify the timeline handle acquisition & request span construction; it
now happen in the function that reads the protocol message
- Implement serial and pipelined model
- serial: what we had before any of the batching changes
- read one protocol message
- execute protocol messages
- pipelined: the design described above
- optionality for execution of the pipeline: either via concurrent
futures vs tokio tasks
- Pageserver config
- remove batching timeout field
- add ability to configure pipelining mode
- add ability to limit max batch size for pipelined configurations
(required for the rollout, cf
https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/20620 )
- ability to configure execution mode
- Tests
- remove `batch_timeout` parametrization
- rename `test_getpage_merge_smoke` to `test_throughput`
- add parametrization to test different max batch sizes and execution
moes
- rename `test_timer_precision` to `test_latency`
- rename the test case file to `test_page_service_batching.py`
- better descriptions of what the tests actually do
## On the holding The `TimelineHandle` in the pending batch
While batching, we hold the `TimelineHandle` in the pending batch.
Therefore, the timeline will not finish shutting down while we're
batching.
This is not a problem in practice because the concurrently ongoing
`get_vectored` call will fail quickly with an error indicating that the
timeline is shutting down.
This results in the Execution stage returning a `QueryError::Shutdown`,
which causes the pipeline / entire page service connection to shut down.
This drops all references to the
`Arc<Mutex<Option<Box<BatchedFeMessage>>>>` object, thereby dropping the
contained `TimelineHandle`s.
- => fixes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9850
# Performance
Local run of the benchmarks, results in [this empty
commit](1cf5b1463f)
in the PR branch.
Key take-aways:
* `concurrent-futures` and `tasks` deliver identical `batching_factor`
* tail latency impact unknown, cf
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9837
* `concurrent-futures` has higher throughput than `tasks` in all
workloads (=lower `time` metric)
* In unbatchable workloads, `concurrent-futures` has 5% higher
`CPU-per-throughput` than that of `tasks`, and 15% higher than that of
`serial`.
* In batchable-32 workload, `concurrent-futures` has 8% lower
`CPU-per-throughput` than that of `tasks` (comparison to tput of
`serial` is irrelevant)
* in unbatchable workloads, mean and tail latencies of
`concurrent-futures` is practically identical to `serial`, whereas
`tasks` adds 20-30us of overhead
Overall, `concurrent-futures` seems like a slightly more attractive
choice.

## Problem
It appears that the Azure storage API tends to hang TCP connections more
than S3 does.
Currently we use a 2 minute timeout for all downloads. This is large
because sometimes the objects we download are large. However, waiting 2
minutes when doing something like downloading a manifest on tenant
attach is problematic, because when someone is doing a "create tenant,
create timeline" workflow, that 2 minutes is long enough for them
reasonably to give up creating that timeline.
Rather than propagate oversized timeouts further up the stack, we should
use a different timeout for objects that we expect to be small.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9836
## Summary of changes
- Add a `small_timeout` configuration attribute to remote storage,
defaulting to 30 seconds (still a very generous period to do something
like download an index)
- Add a DownloadKind parameter to DownloadOpts, so that callers can
indicate whether they expect the object to be small or large.
- In the azure client, use small timeout for HEAD requests, and for GET
requests if DownloadKind::Small is used.
- Use DownloadKind::Small for manifests, indices, and heatmap downloads.
This PR intentionally does not make the equivalent change to the S3
client, to reduce blast radius in case this has unexpected consequences
(we could accomplish the same thing by editing lots of configs, but just
skipping the code is simpler for right now)
## Problem
It was not always possible to judge what exactly some `cloud_admin`
connections were doing because we didn't consistently set
`application_name` everywhere.
## Summary of changes

1. Switch to building configs everywhere
2. Always set `application_name` and make naming consistent

## Problem
To add Safekeeper heap profiling in #9778, we need to switch to an
allocator that supports it. Pageserver and proxy already use jemalloc.
Touches #9534.
## Summary of changes
Use jemalloc in Safekeeper.
## Problem
When picking locations for a shard, we should use a ScheduleContext that
includes all the other shards in the tenant, so that we apply proper
anti-affinity between shards. If we don't do this, then it can lead to
unstable scheduling, where we place a shard somewhere that the optimizer
will then immediately move it away from.
We didn't always do this, because it was a bit awkward to accumulate the
context for a tenant rather than just walking tenants.
This was a TODO in `handle_node_availability_transition`:
```
// TODO: populate a ScheduleContext including all shards in the same tenant_id (only matters
// for tenants without secondary locations: if they have a secondary location, then this
// schedule() call is just promoting an existing secondary)
```
This is a precursor to https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8264,
where the current imperfect scheduling during node evacuation hampers
testing.
## Summary of changes
- Add an iterator type that yields each shard along with a
schedulecontext that includes all the other shards from the same tenant
- Use the iterator to replace hand-crafted logic in optimize_all_plan
(functionally identical)
- Use the iterator in `handle_node_availability_transition` to apply
proper anti-affinity during node evacuation.
Our rust-postgres fork is getting messy. Mostly because proxy wants more
control over the raw protocol than tokio-postgres provides. As such,
it's diverging more and more. Storage and compute also make use of
rust-postgres, but in more normal usage, thus they don't need our crazy
changes.
Idea:
* proxy maintains their subset
* other teams use a minimal patch set against upstream rust-postgres
Reviewing this code will be difficult. To implement it, I
1. Copied tokio-postgres, postgres-protocol and postgres-types from
00940fcdb5
2. Updated their package names with the `2` suffix to make them compile
in the workspace.
3. Updated proxy to use those packages
4. Copied in the code from tokio-postgres-rustls 0.13 (with some patches
applied https://github.com/jbg/tokio-postgres-rustls/pull/32https://github.com/jbg/tokio-postgres-rustls/pull/33)
5. Removed as much dead code as I could find in the vendored libraries
6. Updated the tokio-postgres-rustls code to use our existing channel
binding implementation
Adds a benchmark for logical message WAL ingestion throughput
end-to-end. Logical messages are essentially noops, and thus ignored by
the Pageserver.
Example results from my MacBook, with fsync enabled:
```
postgres_ingest: 14.445 s
safekeeper_ingest: 29.948 s
pageserver_ingest: 30.013 s
pageserver_recover_ingest: 8.633 s
wal_written: 10,340 MB
message_count: 1310720 messages
postgres_throughput: 715 MB/s
safekeeper_throughput: 345 MB/s
pageserver_throughput: 344 MB/s
pageserver_recover_throughput: 1197 MB/s
```

for running analysis.
Touches #9642.
## Problem
We used `set_path()` to replace the database name in the connection
string. It automatically does url-safe encoding if the path is not
already encoded, but it does it as per the URL standard, which assumes
that tabs can be safely removed from the path without changing the
meaning of the URL. See, e.g.,
https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-basic-url-parser. It also breaks
for DBs with properly %-encoded names, like with `%20`, as they are kept
intact, but actually should be escaped.
Yet, this is not true for Postgres, where it's completely valid to have
trailing tabs in the database name.
I think this is the PR that caused this regression
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9717, as it switched from
`postgres::config::Config` back to `set_path()`.
This was fixed a while ago already [1], btw, I just haven't added a test
to catch this regression back then :(
## Summary of changes
This commit changes the code back to use
`postgres/tokio_postgres::Config` everywhere.
While on it, also do some changes around, as I had to touch this code:
1. Bump some logging from `debug` to `info` in the spec apply path. We
do not use `debug` in prod, and it was tricky to understand what was
going on with this bug in prod.
2. Refactor configuration concurrency calculation code so it was
reusable. Yet, still keep `1` in the case of reconfiguration. The
database can be actively used at this moment, so we cannot guarantee
that there will be enough spare connection slots, and the underlying
code won't handle connection errors properly.
3. Simplify the installed extensions code. It was spawning a blocking
task inside async function, which doesn't make much sense. Instead, just
have a main sync function and call it with `spawn_blocking` in the API
code -- the only place we need it to be async.
4. Add regression python test to cover this and related problems in the
future. Also, add more extensive testing of schema dump and DBs and
roles listing API.

## Problem
Currently, we rerun only known flaky tests. This approach was chosen to
reduce the number of tests that go unnoticed (by forcing people to take
a look at failed tests and rerun the job manually), but it has some
drawbacks:
- In PRs, people tend to push new changes without checking failed tests
(that's ok)
- In the main, tests are just restarted without checking
(understandable)
- Parametrised tests become flaky one by one, i.e. if `test[1]` is flaky
`, test[2]` is not marked as flaky automatically (which may or may not
be the case).
I suggest rerunning all failed tests to increase the stability of GitHub
jobs and using the Grafana Dashboard with flaky tests for deeper
analysis.
## Summary of changes
- Rerun all failed tests twice at max
## Problem
For the interpreted proto the pageserver is not returning the correct
LSN
in replies to keep alive requests. This is because the interpreted
protocol arm
was not updating `last_rec_lsn`.
## Summary of changes

* Fix shard field in wal sender traces
We keep the practice of keeping the compiler up to date, pointing to the
latest release. This is done by many other projects in the Rust
ecosystem as well.

Also update `cargo-hakari`, `cargo-deny`, `cargo-hack` and
`cargo-nextest` to their latest versions.
Prior update was in #9445.
## Problem
We currently see elevated levels of errors for GetBlob requests. This is
because 404 and 304 are counted as errors for metric reporting.
## Summary of Changes

304 responses as ok for metric purposes.

# Problem
VM (visibility map) pages are stored and managed as any regular relation
page, in the VM fork of the main relation. They are also sharded like
other pages. Regular WAL writes to the VM pages (typically performed by
vacuum) are routed to the correct shard as usual. However, VM pages are
also updated via `ClearVmBits` metadata records emitted when main
relation pages are updated. These metadata records were sent to all
shards, like other metadata records. This had the following effects:
* On shards responsible for VM pages, the `ClearVmBits` applies as
expected.
* On shard 0, which knows about the VM relation and its size but doesn't
necessarily have any VM pages, the `ClearVmBits` writes may have been
applied without also having applied the explicit WAL writes to VM pages.
* If VM pages are spread across multiple shards (unlikely with 256MB
stripe size), all shards may have applied `ClearVmBits` if the pages
fall within their local view of the relation size, even for pages they
do not own.
* On other shards, this caused a relation size cache miss and a DbDir
and RelDir lookup before dropping the `ClearVmBits`. With many
relations, this could cause significant CPU overhead.
This is not believed to be a correctness problem, but this will be
verified in #9914.
Resolves#9855.
# Changes
Route `ClearVmBits` metadata records only to the shards responsible for
the VM pages.
Verification of the current VM handling and cleanup of incomplete VM
pages on shard 0 (and potentially elsewhere) is left as follow-up work.
## Problem

## Summary of changes
Ensure that the deletion queue gets fully flushed (i.e., the deletion
lists get applied) during a graceful shutdown.
It is still possible that an incomplete shutdown would leave deletion
list behind and cause race upon the next startup, but we assume this
will unlikely happen, and even if it happened, the pageserver should
already be at a tainted state and the tenant should be moved to a new
tenant with a new generation number.

* Promote two logs from mpsc send errors to error level. The channels

* Fix one multiline log from anyhow::Error. Use Debug instead of
Display.
## Problem
When ingesting implicit `ClearVmBits` operations, we silently drop the
writes if the relation or page is unknown. There are implicit
assumptions around VM pages wrt. explicit/implicit updates, sharding,
and relation sizes, which can possibly drop writes incorrectly. Adding a
few metrics will allow us to investigate further and tighten up the
logic.
Touches #9855.
## Summary of changes
Add a `pageserver_wal_ingest_clear_vm_bits_unknown` metric to record
dropped `ClearVmBits` writes.
Also add comments clarifying the behavior of relation sizes on non-zero
shards.
Valid layer assumption is a necessary condition for a layer map to be
valid. It's a stronger check imposed by gc-compaction than the actual
valid layermap definition. Actually, the system can work as long as
there are no overlapping layer maps. Therefore, we degrade that into a
warning.

## Problem
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9746 lifted decoding and
interpretation of WAL to the safekeeper.
This reduced the ingested amount on the pageservers by around 10x for a
tenant with 8 shards, but doubled
the ingested amount for single sharded tenants.
Also, https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9746 uses bincode which
doesn't support schema evolution.
Technically the schema can be evolved, but it's very cumbersome.
## Summary of changes
This patch set addresses both problems by adding protobuf support for
the interpreted wal records and adding compression support. Compressed
protobuf reduced the ingested amount by 100x on the 32 shards
`test_sharded_ingest` case (compared to non-interpreted proto). For the
1 shard case the reduction is 5x.

## Problem
The `pre-merge-checks` workflow relies on the build-tools image.
If changes to the `build-tools` image have been merged into the main
branch since the last CI run for a PR (with other changes to the
`build-tools`), the image will be rebuilt during the merge queue run.
Otherwise, cached images are used.
Rebuilding the image adds approximately 10 minutes on x86-64 and 20
minutes on arm64 to the process.

- Run `pre-merge-checks` only on Debian 12 x86-64 image

- COPY relation data

- create constraints
Previously we used only 4 copy jobs, 4 create index jobs and 7
maintenance workers. After increasing effective_io_concurrency on

## Summary of changes

to 16
## Problem
The RequestContext::span shouldn't live for the entire postgres
connection, only the handshake.
## Summary of changes
* Slight refactor to the RequestContext to discard the span upon
handshake completion.
* Make sure the temporary future for the handshake is dropped (not bound
to a variable)
* Runs our nightly fmt script
Before, we hardcoded the pg_version to 140000, while the code expected
version numbers like 14. Now we use an enum, and code from
`extension_server.rs` to auto-detect the correct version. The enum helps
when we add support for a version: enums ensure that compilation fails
if one forgets to put the version to one of the `match` locations.

even though we already handle such errors based on context.
## Summary of changes
* Log raw errors from creating and executing cplane requests at debug

* Inline macro calls to retain the correct callsite.
## Problem
The vast majority of the error/warn logs from cplane are about time or
data transfer quotas exceeded or endpoint-not-found errors and not
operational errors in proxy or cplane.
## Summary of changes
* Demote cplane error replies to info level.
* Raise other errors from warn back to error.
## Problem
For any given tenant shard, pageservers receive all of the tenant's WAL
from the safekeeper.
This soft-blocks us from using larger shard counts due to bandwidth
concerns and CPU overhead of filtering
out the records.
## Summary of changes
This PR lifts the decoding and interpretation of WAL from the pageserver
into the safekeeper.
A customised PG replication protocol is used where instead of sending
raw WAL, the safekeeper sends
filtered, interpreted records. The receiver drives the protocol
selection, so, on the pageserver side, usage
of the new protocol is gated by a new pageserver config:
`wal_receiver_protocol`.
More granularly the changes are:
1. Optionally inject the protocol and shard identity into the arguments
used for starting replication
2. On the safekeeper side, implement a new wal sending primitive which
decodes and interprets records
before sending them over
3. On the pageserver side, implement the ingestion of this new
replication message type. It's very similar
to what we already have for raw wal (minus decoding and interpreting).
## Notes
* This PR currently uses my [branch of
rust-postgres](https://github.com/neondatabase/rust-postgres/tree/vlad/interpreted-wal-record-replication-support)
which includes the deserialization logic for the new replication message
type. PR for that is open
[here](https://github.com/neondatabase/rust-postgres/pull/32).
* This PR contains changes for both pageservers and safekeepers. It's
safe to merge because the new protocol is disabled by default on the
pageserver side. We can gradually start enabling it in subsequent
releases.
* CI tests are running on https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9747

## Problem
LFC is not enabled by default in tests, but it is enabled in production.
This increases the risk of errors in the production environment, which
were not found during the routine workflow.
However, enabling LFC for all the tests may overload the disk on our
servers and increase the number of failures.
So, we try enabling LFC in one case to evaluate the possible risk.
## Summary of changes
A new environment variable, USE_LFC is introduced. If it is set to true,
LFC is enabled by default in all the tests.
In our workflow, we enable LFC for PG17, release, x86-64, and disabled
for all other combinations.

# Context
This PR contains PoC-level changes for a product feature that allows
onboarding large databases into Neon without going through the regular
data path.
# Changes
This internal RFC provides all the context
* https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/pull/19799
In the language of the RFC, this PR covers
* the Importer code (`fast_import`)
* all the Pageserver changes (mgmt API changes, flow implementation,
etc)
* a basic test for the Pageserver changes
# Reviewing
As acknowledged in the RFC, the code added in this PR is not ready for
general availability.
Also, the **architecture is not to be discussed in this PR**, but in the
RFC and associated Slack channel instead.
Reviewers of this PR should take that into consideration.
The quality bar to apply during review depends on what area of the code
is being reviewed:
* Importer code (`fast_import`): practically anything goes
* Core flow (`flow.rs`):
* Malicious input data must be expected and the existing threat models
apply.
* The code must not be safe to execute on *dedicated* Pageserver
instances:
* This means in particular that tenants *on other* Pageserver instances
must not be affected negatively wrt data confidentiality, integrity or
availability.
* Other code: the usual quality bar
* Pay special attention to correct use of gate guards, timeline
cancellation in all places during shutdown & migration, etc.
* Consider the broader system impact; if you find potentially
problematic interactions with Storage features that were not covered in
the RFC, bring that up during the review.
I recommend submitting three separate reviews, for the three high-level
areas with different quality bars.

to keep it consistent with existing compute metrics.
flux-fleet change is not needed, because it doesn't have any filter by
metric name for compute metrics.
## Problem
Follow up of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9682, that patch
didn't fully address the problem: what if shutdown fails due to whatever
reason and then we reattach the tenant? Then we will still remove the
future layer. The underlying problem is that the fix for #5878 gets
voided because of the generation optimizations.
Of course, we also need to ensure that delete happens after uploads, but
note that we only schedule deletes when there are no ongoing upload
tasks, so that's fine.
## Summary of changes
* Add a test case to reproduce the behavior (by changing the original
test case to attach the same generation).
* If layer upload happens after the deletion, drain the deletion queue
before uploading.
* If blocked_deletion is enabled, directly remove it from the
blocked_deletion queue.
* Local fs backend fix to avoid race between deletion and preload.
* test_emergency_mode does not need to wait for uploads (and it's
generally not possible to wait for uploads).
* ~~Optimize deletion executor to skip validation if there are no files
to delete.~~ this doesn't work

## Problem
The HTTP router allowlists matched both on the path and the query
string. This meant that only `/profile/cpu` would be allowed without
auth, while `/profile/cpu?format=svg` would require auth.
Follows #9764.
## Summary of changes
* Match allowlists on URI path, rather than the entire URI.
* Fix the allowlist for Safekeeper to use `/profile/cpu` rather than the
old `/pprof/profile`.
* Just use a constant slice for the allowlist; it's only a handful of
items, and these handlers are not on hot paths.
## Problem
close https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9836
Looking at Azure SDK, the only related issue I can find is
https://github.com/azure/azure-sdk-for-rust/issues/1549. Azure uses
reqwest as the backend, so I assume there's some underlying magic
unknown to us that might have caused the stuck in #9836.
The observation is:
* We didn't get an explicit out of resource HTTP error from Azure.
* The connection simply gets stuck and times out.
* But when we retry after we reach the timeout, it succeeds.
This issue is hard to identify -- maybe something went wrong at the ABS
side, or something wrong with our side. But we know that a retry will
usually succeed if we give up the stuck connection.
Therefore, I propose the fix that we preempt stuck HTTP operation and
actively retry. This would mitigate the problem, while in the long run,
we need to keep an eye on ABS usage and see if we can fully resolve this
problem.
The reasoning of such timeout mechanism: we use a much smaller timeout
than before to preempt, while it is possible that a normal listing
operation would take a longer time than the initial timeout if it
contains a lot of keys. Therefore, after we terminate the connection, we
should double the timeout, so that such requests would eventually
succeed.
## Summary of changes
* Use exponential growth for ABS list timeout.
* Rather than using a fixed timeout, use a timeout that starts small and
grows
* Rather than exposing timeouts to the list_streaming caller as soon as
we see them, only do so after we have retried a few times

## Problem
Along with the migration to Python 3.11, I switched `C(str, Enum)` with
`C(StrEnum)`; one such example is the `PgVersion` enum.
It required more changes in `PgVersion` itself (before, it accepted both
`str` and `int`, and after it, it supports only `str`), which caused the
`test_bulk_insert` test to fail.
## Summary of changes
- `test_bulk_insert`: explicitly cast pg_version from `timeline_detail`
to str
I found the rightward drift of the `renew_jwks` function hard to review.
This PR splits out some major logic and uses early returns to make the
happy path more linear.
## Problem
We use a pretty old version of `mypy` 1.3 (released 1.5 years ago), it
produces false positives for `typing.Self`.
## Summary of changes
- Bump `mypy` from 1.3 to 1.13
- Fix new warnings and errors
- Use `typing.Self` whenever we `return self`
Without adding a newline, we can end up with a conf line that looks like
the following:

The notifications need to be sent whenever the waiters heap changes, per
the comment in `update_status`. But if 'advance' is called when there
are no waiters, or the new LSN is lower than the waiters so that no one
needs to be woken up, there's no need to send notifications. This saves
some CPU cycles in the common case that there are no waiters.
## Problem
In https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9754 and the flakiness of
`test_readonly_node_gc`, we saw that although our logic for controlling
GC was sound, the validation of getpage requests was not, because it
could not consider LSN leases when requests arrived shortly after
restart.
Closes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9754
## Summary of changes
This is the "Option 3" discussed verbally -- rather than holding back gc
cutoff, we waive the usual validation of request LSN if we are still
waiting for leases to be sent after startup
- When validating LSN in `wait_or_get_last_lsn`, skip the validation
relative to GC cutoff if the timeline is still in its LSN lease grace
period
- Re-enable test_readonly_node_gc
Calling unwrap on the encoder is a little overzealous. One of the errors
that can be returned by the encode function in particular is the
non-existence of metrics for a metric family, so we should prematurely
filter instances like that out. I believe that the cause of this panic
was caused by a race condition between the prometheus collector and the
compute collecting the installed extensions metric for the first time.
The HTTP server is spawned on a separate thread before we even start
bringing up Postgres.

## Problem
We don't have a convenient way to gather CPU profiles from a running
binary, e.g. during production incidents or end-to-end benchmarks, nor
during microbenchmarks (particularly on macOS).
We would also like to have continuous profiling in production, likely
using [Grafana Cloud
Profiles](https://grafana.com/products/cloud/profiles-for-continuous-profiling/).
We may choose to use either eBPF profiles or pprof profiles for this
(pending testing and discussion with SREs), but pprof profiles appear
useful regardless for the reasons listed above. See
https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/14888.
This PR is intended as a proof of concept, to try it out in staging and
drive further discussions about profiling more broadly.
Touches #9534.
Touches https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/14888.
## Summary of changes
Adds a HTTP route `/profile/cpu` that takes a CPU profile and returns
it. Defaults to a 5-second pprof Protobuf profile for use with e.g.
`pprof` or Grafana Alloy, but can also emit an SVG flamegraph. Query
parameters:
* `format`: output format (`pprof` or `svg`)
* `frequency`: sampling frequency in microseconds (default 100)
* `seconds`: number of seconds to profile (default 5)
Also integrates pprof profiles into Criterion benchmarks, such that
flamegraph reports can be taken with `cargo bench ... --profile-duration
<seconds>`. Output under `target/criterion/*/profile/flamegraph.svg`.
Example profiles:
* pprof profile (use [`pprof`](https://github.com/google/pprof)):
[profile.pb.gz](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/17756788/profile.pb.gz)
* Web interface: `pprof -http :6060 profile.pb.gz`
* Interactive flamegraph:
[profile.svg.gz](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/17756782/profile.svg.gz)
Fixes the masking for the CancelKeyData display format. Due to negative
i32 cast to u64, the top-bits all had `0xffffffff` prefix. On the
bitwise-or that followed, these took priority.
This PR also compresses 3 logs during sql-over-http into 1 log with
durations as label fields, as prior discussed.
## Problem

## Problem
We saw a scale test failure when one shard went
secondary->attached->secondary in a short period of time -- the metrics
for the shard failed a validation assertion that is meant to ensure the
size metric matches the sum of layer sizes in the SecondaryDetail
struct.
This appears to be due to two SecondaryTenants being alive at the same
time -- the first one was shut down but still had its contributions to
the metrics.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9628
## Summary of changes
- Refactor code for validating metrics and call it in shutdown as well
as during downloads
- Move code for dropping per-tenant secondary metrics from drop() into
shutdown(), so that once shutdown() completes it is definitely safe to
instantiate another SecondaryTenant for the same tenant.
Before, `OpenTelemetry` errors were printed to stdout/stderr directly,
causing one of the few log lines without a timestamp, like:
```
OpenTelemetry trace error occurred. error sending request for url (http://localhost:4318/v1/traces)
```
Now, we print:
```
2024-11-21T02:24:20.511160Z INFO OpenTelemetry error: error sending request for url (http://localhost:4318/v1/traces)
```
I found this while investigating #9731.
## Problem
```
curl -H "Neon-Connection-String: postgresql://neondb_owner:PASSWORD@ep-autumn-rain-a58lubg0.us-east-2.aws.neon.tech/neondb?sslmode=require" https://ep-autumn-rain-a58lubg0.us-east-2.aws.neon.tech/sql -d '{"query":"SELECT 1","params":[]}'
```
For such a query, I also need to send `params`. Do I really need it?
## Summary of changes
I've marked `params` as optional
Adds support to the `find_garbage` command to restrict itself to a
partial tenant ID prefix, say `a`, and then it only traverses tenants
with IDs starting with `a`. One can now pass the `--tenant-id-prefix`
parameter.
That way, one can shard the `find_garbage` command and make it run in
parallel.
The PR also does a change of how `remote_storage` first removes trailing
`/`s, only to then add them in the listing function. It turns out that
this isn't neccessary and it prevents the prefix functionality from
working. S3 doesn't do this either.
## Problem
We were hitting this assertion in debug mode tests sometimes.
This case was being hit when the parent shard has no resident layers.
For instance, this is the case on split retry where the previous attempt
shut-down the parent and deleted local state for it. If the logical size
calculation does not download some layers before we get to the
hardlinking, then the assertion is hit.
## Summary of Changes
Remove the assertion. It's fine for the ancestor to not have any
resident layers at the time of the split.
Closes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9412
Follow up to #9803

In collaboration with @cloneable and @awarus, we sifted through logs and
simply demoted some logs to debug. This is not at all finished and there
are more logs to review, but we ran out of time in the session we
organised. In any slightly more nuanced cases, we didn't touch the log,
instead leaving a TODO comment.
I've also slightly refactored the sql-over-http body read/length reject
code. I can split that into a separate PR. It just felt natural after I
switched to `read_body_with_limit` as we discussed during the meet.
## Problem
Long ago, in #5299 the tenant states for migration are added, but
respected only in a coarse-grained way: when hinted not to do deletions,
tenants will just avoid doing all GC or compaction.
Skipping compaction is not necessary for AttachedMulti, as we will soon
become the primary attached location, and it is not a waste of resources
to proceed with compaction. Instead, per the RFC
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/5029/files), deletions should
be queued up in this state, and executed later when we switch to
AttachedSingle.
Avoiding compaction in AttachedMulti can have an operational impact if a
tenant is under significant write load, as a long-running migration can
result in a large accumulation of delta layers with commensurate impact
on read latency.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/5396
## Summary of changes
- Add a 'config' part to RemoteTimelineClient so that it can be aware of
the mode of the tenant it belongs to, and wire this through for
construction + updates
- Add a special buffer for delayed deletions, and when in AttachedMulti
route deletions here instead of into the main remote client queue. This
is drained when transitioning to AttachedSingle. If the tenant is
detached or our process dies before then, then these objects are leaked.
- As a quality of life improvement, also use the remote timeline
client's knowledge of the tenant state to avoid submitting remote
consistent LSN updates for validation when in AttachedStale (as we know
these will fail)

## Problem
SLRU blocks, which can add up to several gigabytes, are currently
ingested by all shards, multiplying their capacity cost by the shard
count and slowing down ingest. We do this because all shards need the
SLRU pages to do timestamp->LSN lookup for GC.
Related: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7512
## Summary of changes
- On non-zero shards, learn the GC offset from shard 0's index instead
of calculating it.
- Add a test `test_sharding_gc` that exercises this
- Do GC in test_pg_regress as a general smoke test that GC functions run
(e.g. this would fail if we were using SLRUs we didn't have)
In this PR we are still ingesting SLRUs everywhere, but not using them
any more. Part 2 PR (https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9786)
makes the change to not store them at all.

## Problem
This test uses a gratuitous number of pageservers (16). This works fine
when there are plenty of system resources, but causes issues on test
runners that have limited resources and run many tests concurrently.

## Problem
Two recently observed log errors indicate safekeeper tasks for a
timeline running after that timeline's deletion has started.
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8972
- https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8974
These code paths do not have a mechanism that coordinates task shutdown
with the overall shutdown of the timeline.
## Summary of changes
- Add a `Gate` to `Timeline`
- Take the gate as part of resident timeline guard: any code that holds
a guard over a timeline staying resident should also hold a guard over
the timeline's total lifetime.
- Take the gate from the wal removal task
- Respect Timeline::cancel in WAL send/recv code, so that we do not
block shutdown indefinitely.
- Add a test that deletes timelines with open pageserver+compute
connections, to check these get torn down as expected.
There is some risk to introducing gates: if there is code holding a gate
which does not properly respect a cancellation token, it can cause
shutdown hangs. The risk of this for safekeepers is lower in practice
than it is for other services, because in a healthy timeline deletion,
the compute is shutdown first, then the timeline is deleted on the
pageserver, and finally it is deleted on the safekeepers -- that makes
it much less likely that some protocol handler will still be running.

In timeline preloading, we also do a preload for offloaded timelines.
This includes the download of `index-part.json`. Ultimately, such a
download is wasteful, therefore avoid it. Same goes for the remote
client, we just discard it immediately thereafter.

Before, compute_ctl didn't have a good registry for what command would
run when, depending exclusively on sync code to apply changes. When
users have many databases/roles to manage, this step can take a
substantial amount of time, breaking assumptions about low (re)start
times in other systems.
This commit reduces the time compute_ctl takes to restart when changes
must be applied, by making all commands more or less blind writes, and
applying these commands in an asynchronous context, only waiting for
completion once we know the commands have all been sent.
Additionally, this reduces time spent by batching per-database
operations where previously we would create a new SQL connection for
every user-database operation we planned to execute.
## Problem
We have a bunch of duplicated code for automated releases. There will be
even more, once we have `release-compute` branch
(https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9637).
Another issue with the current `release` workflow is that it creates a
PR from the main as is. If we create 2 different releases from the
same commit, GitHub could mix up results from different PRs.
## Summary of changes
- Create a reusable workflow for releases
- Create an empty commit to differentiate releases
part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9114, we want to be
able to run partial gc-compaction in tests. In the future, we can also
expand this functionality to legacy compaction, so that we can trigger
compaction for a specific key range.
## Summary of changes
* Support passing compaction key range through pageserver routes.
* Refactor input parameters of compact related function to take the new
`CompactOptions`.
* Add tests for partial compaction. Note that the test may or may not
trigger compaction based on GC horizon. We need to improve the test case
to ensure things always get below the gc_horizon and the gc-compaction
can be triggered.

The community decided to make a new off-schedule release due to ABI
breakage in last week's release. We're not affected by the ABI
breakage because we rebuild all extensions in our docker images, but
let's stay up-to-date. There were a few other fixes in the release
too.
Currently, local_proxy will write an error log if it doesn't find the
config file. This is expected for startup, so it's just noise. It is an
error if we do receive an explicit SIGHUP though.
I've also demoted the build info logs to be debug level. We don't need
them in the compute image since we have other ways to determine what
code is running.
Lastly, I've demoted SIGHUP signal handling from warn to info, since
it's not really a warning event.
See https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/10880 for more details
## Problem
The first version of the ingest benchmark had some parsing and reporting
logic in shell script inside GitHub workflow.
it is better to move that logic into a python testcase so that we can
also run it locally.
## Summary of changes
- Create new python testcase
- invoke pgcopydb inside python test case
- move the following logic into python testcase
- determine backpressure
- invoke pgcopydb and report its progress
- parse pgcopydb log and extract metrics
- insert metrics into perf test database
- add additional column to perf test database that can receive endpoint
ID used for pgcopydb run to have it available in grafana dashboard when
retrieving other metrics for an endpoint

Earlier work (#7547) has made the scrubber internally generic, but one
could only configure it to use S3 storage.
This is the final piece to make (most of, snapshotting still requires
S3) the scrubber be able to be configured via GenericRemoteStorage.
I.e. you can now set an env var like:
```
REMOTE_STORAGE_CONFIG='remote_storage = { bucket_name = "neon-dev-safekeeper-us-east-2d", bucket_region = "us-east-2" }
```
and the scrubber will read it instead.
There is a potential data corruption issue, not one I've encountered,
but it's still not hard to hit with some correct looking code given our
current architecture. It has to do with the timeline's memory object storage
via reference counted `Arc`s, and the removal of `retain_lsn` entries at
the drop of the last `Arc` reference.
The corruption steps are as follows:
1. timeline gets offloaded. timeline object A doesn't get dropped
though, because some long-running task accesses it
2. the same timeline gets unoffloaded again. timeline object B gets
created for it, timeline object A still referenced. both point to the
same timeline.
3. the task keeping the reference to timeline object A exits. destructor
for object A runs, removing `retain_lsn` in the timeline's parent.
4. the timeline's parent runs gc without the `retain_lsn` of the still
exant timleine's child, leading to data corruption.
In general we are susceptible each time when we recreate a `Timeline`
object in the same process, which happens both during a timeline
offload/unoffload cycle, as well as during an ancestor detach operation.
The solution this PR implements is to make the destructor for a timeline
as well as an offloaded timeline remove at most one `retain_lsn`.
PR #9760 has added a log line to print the refcounts at timeline
offload, but this only detects one of the places where we do such a
recycle operation. Plus it doesn't prevent the actual issue.
I doubt that this occurs in practice. It is more a defense in depth measure.
Usually I'd assume that the timeline gets dropped immediately in step 1,
as there is no background tasks referencing it after its shutdown.
But one never knows, and reducing the stakes of step 1 actually occurring
is a really good idea, from potential data corruption to waste of CPU time.
Part of #8088
## Problem
We don't take advantage of queue depth generated by the compute
on the pageserver. We can process getpage requests more efficiently
by batching them.
## Summary of changes
Batch up incoming getpage requests that arrive within a configurable
time window (`server_side_batch_timeout`).
Then process the entire batch via one `get_vectored` timeline operation.
By default, no merging takes place.
## Testing
* **Functional**: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9792
* **Performance**: will be done in staging/pre-prod

Tests that are marked with `run_only_on_default_postgres` do not run on
debug builds on CI because we run debug builds only for the latest
Postgres version (which is 17)
## Summary of changes
- Bump `PgVersion.DEFAULT` to `v17`
- Skip `test_timeline_archival_chaos` in debug builds
## Problem
We call `check-build-tools-image` twice for each workflow whenever we
use it, along with `build-build-tools-image`, once as a workflow itself,
and the second time from `build-build-tools-image`. This is not
necessary.
## Summary of changes
- Inline `check-build-tools-image` into `build-build-tools-image`
- Remove separate `check-build-tools-image` workflow
## Problem
Due to #9471 , the scale test occasionally gets 404s while trying to
modify the config of a timeline that belongs to a tenant being migrated.
We rarely see this narrow race in the field, but the test is quite good
at reproducing it.
## Summary of changes
- Ignore 404 errors in this test.

## Problem
`no_sync` initially just skipped syncfs on startup (#9677). I'm also
interested in flaky tests that time out during pageserver shutdown while
flushing l0s, so to eliminate disk throughput as a source of issues
there,
## Summary of changes
- Drive-by change for test timeouts: add a couple more ::info logs
during pageserver startup so it's obvious which part got stuck.
- Add a SyncMode enum to configure VirtualFile and respect it in
sync_all and sync_data functions
- During pageserver startup, set SyncMode according to `no_sync`
## Problem
When processing pipelined `AppendRequest`s, we explicitly flush the WAL
every second and return an `AppendResponse`. However, the WAL is also
implicitly flushed on segment bounds, but this does not result in an
`AppendResponse`. Because of this, concurrent transactions may take up
to 1 second to commit and writes may take up to 1 second before sending
to the pageserver.
## Summary of changes
Advance `flush_lsn` when a WAL segment is closed and flushed, and emit
an `AppendResponse`. To accommodate this, track the `flush_lsn` in
addition to the `flush_record_lsn`.
## Problem
It turns out that `WalStreamDecoder::poll_decode` returns the start LSN
of the next record and not the end LSN of the current record. They are
not always equal. For example, they're not equal when the record in
question is an XLOG SWITCH record.
## Summary of changes

## Problem
We want to serialize interpreted records to send them over the wire from
safekeeper to pageserver.
## Summary of changes
Make `InterpretedWalRecord` ser/de. This is a temporary change to get

don't want to use bincode since we can't evolve the schema.
Questions on serialization will be tackled separately.
PR #9308 has modified tenant activation code to take offloaded child
timelines into account for populating the list of `retain_lsn` values.
However, there is more places than just tenant activation where one
needs to update the `retain_lsn`s.
This PR fixes some bugs of the current code that could lead to
corruption in the worst case:
1. Deleting of an offloaded timeline would not get its `retain_lsn`
purged from its parent. With the patch we now do it, but as the parent
can be offloaded as well, the situatoin is a bit trickier than for
non-offloaded timelines which can just keep a pointer to their parent.
Here we can't keep a pointer because the parent might get offloaded,
then unoffloaded again, creating a dangling pointer situation. Keeping a
pointer to the *tenant* is not good either, because we might drop the
offloaded timeline in a context where a `offloaded_timelines` lock is
already held: so we don't want to acquire a lock in the drop code of
OffloadedTimeline.
2. Unoffloading a timeline would not get its `retain_lsn` values
populated, leading to it maybe garbage collecting values that its
children might need. We now call `initialize_gc_info` on the parent.
3. Offloading of a timeline would not get its `retain_lsn` values
registered as offloaded at the parent. So if we drop the `Timeline`
object, and its registration is removed, the parent would not have any
of the child's `retain_lsn`s around. Also, before, the `Timeline` object
would delete anything related to its timeline ID, now it only deletes
`retain_lsn`s that have `MaybeOffloaded::No` set.
Incorporates Chi's reproducer from #9753. cc
https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/20199
The `test_timeline_retain_lsn` test is extended:
1. it gains a new dimension, duplicating each mode, to either have the
"main" branch be the direct parent of the timeline we archive, or the
"test_archived_parent" branch intermediary, creating a three timeline
structure. This doesn't test anything fixed by this PR in particular,
just explores the vast space of possible configurations a little bit
more.
2. it gains two new modes, `offload-parent`, which tests the second
point, and `offload-no-restart` which tests the third point.
It's easy to verify the test actually is "sharp" by removing one of the
respective `self.initialize_gc_info()`, `gc_info.insert_child()` or
`ancestor_children.push()`.

## Problem
We are pining our fork of rust-postgres to a commit hash and that
prevents us from making
further changes to it. The latest commit in rust-postgres requires
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8747,
but that seems to have gone stale. I reverted rust-postgres `neon`
branch to the pinned commit in
https://github.com/neondatabase/rust-postgres/pull/31.
## Summary of changes
Switch back to using the `neon` branch of the rust-postgres fork.
If WAL truncation fails in the middle it might leave some data on disk
above the write/flush LSN. In theory, concatenated with previous records
it might form bogus WAL (though very unlikely in practice because CRC
would protect from that). To protect from that, set
pending_wal_truncation flag: means before any WAL writes truncation must
be retried until it succeeds. We already did that in case of safekeeper
restart, now extend this mechanism for failures without restart. Also,
importantly, reset LSNs in the beginning of the operation, not in the
end, because once on disk deletion starts previous pointers are wrong.
All this most likely haven't created any problems in practice because
CRC protects from the consequences.
Tests for this are hard; simulation infrastructure might be useful here
in the future, but not yet.
## Problem
Historically, if a control component passed a pageserver "generation: 1"
this could be a quick way to corrupt a tenant by loading a historic
index.
Follows https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9383Closes#6951
## Summary of changes
- Introduce a Fatal variant to DownloadError, to enable index downloads
to signal when they have encountered a scary enough situation that we
shouldn't proceed to load the tenant.
- Handle this variant by putting the tenant into a broken state (no
matter which timeline within the tenant reported it)
- Add a test for this case
In the event that this behavior fires when we don't want it to, we have
ways to intervene:
- "Touch" an affected index to update its mtime (download+upload S3
object)
- If this behavior is triggered, it indicates we're attaching in some
old generation, so we should be able to fix that by manually bumping
generation numbers in the storage controller database (this should never
happen, but it's an option if it does)
and add /metrics endpoint to compute_ctl to expose such metrics

psycopg2 has the following warning related to autocommit:
> By default, any query execution, including a simple SELECT will start
> a transaction: for long-running programs, if no further action is
> taken, the session will remain “idle in transaction”, an undesirable
> condition for several reasons (locks are held by the session, tables
> bloat…). For long lived scripts, either ensure to terminate a
> transaction as soon as possible or use an autocommit connection.
In the 2.9 release notes, psycopg2 also made the following change:
> `with connection` starts a transaction on autocommit transactions too
Some of these connections are indeed long-lived, so we were retaining
tons of WAL on the endpoints because we had a transaction pinned in the
past.

## Problem
`TimelinePersistentState::empty()`, used for tests and benchmarks, had a
hardcoded 16 MB WAL segment size. This caused confusion when attempting

Inherit from `WAL_SEGMENT_SIZE` in `TimelinePersistentState::empty()`.
This GUC will drop replication slots if the size of the
pg_logical/snapshots directory (not including temp snapshot files)
becomes larger than the specified size. Keeping the size of this
directory smaller will help with basebackup size from the pageserver.

## Problem
WAL segment fsyncs significantly affect WAL ingestion throughput.

ext4 (which we currently use). This improves WAL ingestion throughput by
up to 23% with large appends on my MacBook.
I had an impression that gc-compaction didn't test the case where the

## Problem
The control file is flushed on the WAL ingest path when the commit LSN
advances by one segment, to bound the amount of recovery work in case of
a crash. This involves 3 additional fsyncs, which can have a significant
impact on WAL ingest throughput. This is to some extent mitigated by
`AppendResponse` not being emitted on segment bound flushes, since this
will prevent commit LSN advancement, which will be addressed separately.
## Summary of changes
Don't flush the control file on the WAL ingest path at all. Instead,
leave that responsibility to the timeline manager, but ask it to flush
eagerly if the control file lags the in-memory commit LSN by more than
one segment. This should not cause more than `REFRESH_INTERVAL` (300 ms)
additional latency before flushing the control file, which is
negligible.
Add a test that ensures the `retain_lsn` functionality works. Right now,
there is not a single test that is broken if offloaded or non-offloaded
timelines don't get registered at their parents, preventing gc from
discarding the ancestor_lsns of the children. This PR fills that gap.
The test has four modes:
* `offloaded`: offload the child timeline, run compaction on the parent
timeline, unarchive the child timeline, then try reading from it.
hopefully the data is still there.
* `offloaded-corrupted`: offload the child timeline, corrupts the
manifest in a way that the pageserver believes the timeline was
flattened. This is the closest we can get to pretend the `retain_lsn`
mechanism doesn't exist for offloaded timelines, so we can avoid adding
endpoints to the pageserver that do this manually for tests. The test
then checks that indeed data is corrupted and the endpoint can't be
started. That way we know that the test is actually working, and
actually tests the `retain_lsn` mechanism, instead of say the lsn lease
mechanism, or one of the many other mechanisms that impede gc.
* `archived`: the child timeline gets archived but doesn't get
offloaded. this currently matches the `None` case but we might have
refactors in the future that make archived timelines sufficiently
different from non-archived ones.
* `None`: the child timeline doesn't even get archived. this tests that
normal timelines participate in `retain_lsn`. I've made them locally not
participate in `retain_lsn` (via commenting out the respective
`ancestor_children.push` statement in tenant.rs) and ran the testsuite,
and not a single test failed. So this test is first of its kind.

We found that exporting GH Workflow Runs in batch is more efficient due
to
- better utilisation of Github API
- and gh runners usage is rounded to minutes, so even when ad-hoc export
is done in 5-10 seconds, we billed for one minute usage
So now we introduce batch exporting, with version v0.2.x of github
workflow stats exporter.
How it's expected to work now:
- every 15 minutes we query for the workflow runs, created in last 2
hours
- to avoid missing workflows that ran for more than 2 hours, every night
(00:25) we will query workflows created in past 24 hours and export them
as well
- should we have query for even longer periods?
- lets see how it works with current schedule
- for longer periods like for days or weeks, it may require to adjust
logic and concurrency of querying data, so lets for now use simpler
version

https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9114, close
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8921 (note that we didn't
implement parallel compaction or compaction scheduler for partial
compaction -- currently this needs to be scheduled by using a Python
script to split the keyspace, and in the future, automatically split
based on the key partitioning when the pageserver wants to trigger a
gc-compaction)
## Summary of changes
* Update the layer selection algorithm to use the same selection as full
compaction (everything intersect/below gc horizon)
* Update the layer selection algorithm to also generate a list of delta
layers that need to be rewritten
* Add the logic to rewrite delta layers and add them back to the layer
map
* Update test case to do partial compaction on deltas

## Problem
Running `pytest.skip(...)` in a test body instead of marking the test

Also, some tests are unnecessarily skipped (e.g. `test_layer_bloating`
on Postgres 17, or `test_idle_reconnections` at all) or run (e.g.
`test_parse_project_git_version_output_positive` more than on once
configuration) according to comments.

## Problem
We have no specific benchmark testing project migration of postgresql
project with existing data into Neon.
Typical steps of such a project migration are
- schema creation in the neon project
- initial COPY of relations
- creation of indexes and constraints
- vacuum analyze
## Summary of changes
Add a periodic benchmark running 9 AM UTC every day.
In each run:
- copy a 200 GiB project that has realistic schema, data, tables,
indexes and constraints from another project into
- a new Neon project (7 CU fixed)
- an existing tenant, (but new branch and new database) that already has
4 TiB of data
- use pgcopydb tool to automate all steps and parallelize COPY and index
creation
- parse pgcopydb output and report performance metrics in Neon
performance test database

Right now, our environments create databases with the C locale, which is
really unfortunate for users who have data stored in other languages
that they want to analyze. For instance, show_trgm on Hebrew text
currently doesn't work in staging or production.
I don't envision this being the final solution. I think this is just a
way to set a known value so the pageserver doesn't use its parent
environment. The final solution to me is exposing initdb parameters to
users in the console. Then they could use a different locale or encoding
if they so chose.

In INC-317
https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C033RQ5SPDH/p1730815677932209, we saw
an interesting series of operations that would remove valid layer files
existing in the layer map.
* Timeline A starts compaction and generates an image layer Z but not
uploading it yet.
* Timeline B/C starts ancestor detaching (which should not affect
timeline A)
* The tenant gets restarted as part of the ancestor detaching process,
without increasing the generation number.
* Timeline A reloads, discovering the layer Z is a future layer, and
schedules a **deletion into the deletion queue**. This means that the
file will be deleted any time in the future.
* Timeline A starts compaction and generates layer Z again, adding it to
the layer map. Note that because we don't bump generation number during
ancestor detach, it has the same filename + generation number as the
original Z.
* Timeline A deletes layer Z from s3 + disk, and now we have a dangling
reference in the layer map, blocking all
compaction/logical_size_calculation process.
## Summary of changes
* We wait until all layers to be uploaded before shutting down the
tenants in `Flush` mode.
* Ancestor detach restarts now use this mode.
* Ancestor detach also waits for remote queue completion before starting
the detaching process.
* The patch ensures that we don't have any future image layer (or
something similar) after restart, but not fixing the underlying problem
around generation numbers.

## Problem
In test environments, the `syncfs` that the pageserver does on startup
can take a long time, as other tests running concurrently might have
many gigabytes of dirty pages.
## Summary of changes
- Add a `no_sync` option to the pageserver's config.
- Skip syncfs on startup if this is set
- A subsequent PR (https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9678) will
enable this by default in tests. We need to wait until after the next
release to avoid breaking compat tests, which would fail if we set
no_sync & use an old pageserver binary.
Q: Why is this a different mechanism than safekeeper, which as a
--no-sync CLI?
A: Because the way we manage pageservers in neon_local depends on the
pageserver.toml containing the full configuration, whereas safekeepers
have a config file which is neon-local-specific and can drive a CLI
flag.
Q: Why is the option no_sync rather than sync?
A: For boolean configs with a dangerous value, it's preferable to make
"false" the safe option, so that any downstream future config tooling
that might have a "booleans are false by default" behavior (e.g. golang
structs) is safe by default.
Q: Why only skip the syncfs, and not all fsyncs?
A: Skipping all fsyncs would require more code changes, and the most
acute problem isn't fsyncs themselves (these just slow down a running
test), it's the syncfs (which makes a pageserver startup slow as a
result of _other_ tests)

= note: for more information, see issue #123739
<https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/123739>
= note: `#[deny(tail_expr_drop_order)]` implied by
`#[deny(rust_2024_compatibility)]`
They are caused by the `rust_2024_compatibility` lint option.
When we actually switch to the 2024 edition, it makes sense to go
through all these and check that the drop order changes don't break
anything, but in the meanwhile, there's no easy way to avoid these
errors. Disable it, to allow compiling with nightly again.

## Problem
build-tools image does not provide superuser, so additional packages can
not be installed during GitHub benchmarking workflows but need to be
added to the image
## Summary of changes

While setting up some tests, I noticed that we didn't support keycloak.
They make use of encryption JWKs as well as signature ones. Our current
jwks crate does not support parsing encryption keys which caused the
entire jwk set to fail to parse. Switching to lazy parsing fixes this.
Also while setting up tests, I couldn't use localhost jwks server as we
require HTTPS and we were using webpki so it was impossible to add a
custom CA. Enabling native roots addresses this possibility.
I saw some of our current e2e tests against our custom JWKS in s3 were
taking a while to fetch. I've added a timeout + retries to address this.

The metrics from LR publisher testing project: ~300KB aux key deltas per
256MB files. Therefore, I think we can do compaction more aggressively
as these deltas are small and compaction can reduce layer download
latency. We also have a read path perf fix
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9631 but I'd still combine the
read path fix with the reduce of the compaction threshold.
## Summary of changes
* reduce metadata compaction threshold
* use num of L1 delta layers as an indicator for metadata compaction
* dump more logs

## Problem
When we create a new segment, we zero it out in order to avoid changing
the length and fsyncing metadata on every write. However, we zeroed it
out by writing 8 KB zero-pages, and Tokio file writes have non-trivial
overhead.
## Summary of changes
Zero out the segment using
[`File::set_len()`](https://docs.rs/tokio/latest/i686-unknown-linux-gnu/tokio/fs/struct.File.html#method.set_len)
instead. This will typically (depending on the filesystem) just write a
sparse file and omit the 16 MB of data entirely. This improves WAL
append throughput for large messages by over 400% with fsync disabled,
and 100% with fsync enabled.
## Problem
We don't have any benchmarks for Safekeeper WAL ingestion.
## Summary of changes
Add some basic benchmarks for WAL ingestion, specifically for
`SafeKeeper::process_msg()` (single append) and `WalAcceptor` (pipelined
batch ingestion). Also add some baseline file write benchmarks.
Fix direct reading from WAL buffers.
Pointer wasn't advanced which resulted in sending corrupted WAL if part
of read used WAL buffers and part read from the file. Also move it to
neon_walreader so that e.g. replication could also make use of it.
ref https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/19567
## Problem
Benchmarks need more control over the WAL generated by `WalGenerator`.
In particular, they need to vary the size of logical messages.
## Summary of changes
* Make `WalGenerator` generic over `RecordGenerator`, which constructs
WAL records.
* Add `LogicalMessageGenerator` which emits logical messages, with a
configurable payload.
* Minor tweaks and code reorganization.
There are no changes to the core logic or emitted WAL.
We need to use the shard associated with the layer file, not the shard
associated with our current tenant shard ID.
Due to shard splits, the shard IDs can refer to older files.

Fixes#9518.
## Problem
After removing the assertion `layers_removed == 0` in #9506, we could
miss breakage if we solely rely on the successful execution of the
`SELECT` query to check if lease is properly protecting layers. Details
listed in #9518.
Also, in integration tests, we sometimes run into the race condition
where getpage request comes before the lease get renewed (item 2 of
#8817), even if compute_ctl sends a lease renewal as soon as it sees a
`/configure` API calls that updates the `pageserver_connstr`. In this
case, we would observe a getpage request error stating that we `tried to
request a page version that was garbage collected` (as we seen in
[Allure
Report](https://neon-github-public-dev.s3.amazonaws.com/reports/pr-8613/11550393107/index.html#suites/3ccffb1d100105b98aed3dc19b717917/d1a1ba47bc180493)).
## Summary of changes
- Use layer map dump to verify if the lease protects what it claimed:
Record all historical layers that has `start_lsn <= lease_lsn` before
and after running timeline gc. This is the same check as
ad79f42460/pageserver/src/tenant/timeline.rs (L5025-L5027)
The set recorded after GC should contain every layer in the set recorded
before GC.
- Wait until log contains another successful lease request before
running the `SELECT` query after GC. We argued in #8817 that the bad
request can only exist within a short period after migration/restart,
and our test shows that as long as a lease renewal is done before the
first getpage request sent after reconfiguration, we will not have bad
request.

In https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9441, the tenant has a
lot of aux keys spread in multiple aux files. The perf tool shows that a
significant amount of time is spent on remove_overlapping_keys. For
sparse keyspaces, we don't need to report missing key errors anyways,
and it's very likely that we will need to read all layers intersecting
with the key range. Therefore, this patch adds a new fast path for
sparse keyspace reads that we do not track `unmapped_keyspace` in a
fine-grained way. We only modify it when we find an image layer.
In debug mode, it was ~5min to read the aux files for a dump of the
tenant, and now it's only 8s, that's a 60x speedup.
## Summary of changes
* Do not add sparse keys into `keys_done` so that remove_overlapping
does nothing.
* Allow `ValueReconstructSituation::Complete` to be updated again in
`ValuesReconstructState::update_key` for sparse keyspaces.

I think I meant to make these changes over 6 months ago. alas, better
late than never.
1. should_reject doesn't eagerly intern the endpoint string
2. Rate limiter uses a std Mutex instead of a tokio Mutex.
3. Recently I introduced a `-local-proxy` endpoint suffix. I forgot to
add this to normalize.
4. Random but a small cleanup making the ControlPlaneEvent deser
directly to the interned strings.
## Problem
Pinning a tenant by setting Pause scheduling policy doesn't work because
drain/fill code moves the tenant around during deploys.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9612
## Summary of changes
- In drain, only move a tenant if it is in Active or Essential mode
- In fill, only move a tenant if it is in Active mode.
The asymmetry is a bit annoying, but it faithfully respects the purposes
of the modes: Essential is meant to endeavor to keep the tenant
available, which means it needs to be drained but doesn't need to be
migrated during fills.
## Problem
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9524 split the decoding and
interpretation step from ingestion.
The output of the first phase is a `wal_decoder::models::InterpretedWalRecord`.
Before this patch set that struct contained a list of `Value` instances.
We wish to lift the decoding and interpretation step to the safekeeper,
but it would be nice if the safekeeper gave us a batch containing the raw data instead of actual values.
## Summary of changes
Main goal here is to make `InterpretedWalRecord` hold a raw buffer which
contains pre-serialized Values.
For this we do:
1. Add a `SerializedValueBatch` type. This is `inmemory_layer::SerializedBatch` with some
extra functionality for extension, observing values for shard 0 and tests.
2. Replace `inmemory_layer::SerializedBatch` with `SerializedValueBatch`
3. Make `DatadirModification` maintain a `SerializedValueBatch`.
### `DatadirModification` changes
`DatadirModification` now maintains a `SerializedValueBatch` and extends
it as new WAL records come in (to avoid flushing to disk on every
record).
In turn, this cascaded into a number of modifications to
`DatadirModification`:
1. Replace `pending_data_pages` and `pending_zero_data_pages` with `pending_data_batch`.
2. Removal of `pending_zero_data_pages` and its cousin `on_wal_record_end`
3. Rename `pending_bytes` to `pending_metadata_bytes` since this is what it tracks now.
4. Adapting of various utility methods like `len`, `approx_pending_bytes` and `has_dirty_data_pages`.
Removal of `pending_zero_data_pages` and the optimisation associated
with it ((1) and (2)) deserves more detail.
Previously all zero data pages went through `pending_zero_data_pages`.
We wrote zero data pages when filling gaps caused by relation extension
(case A) and when handling special wal records (case B). If it happened
that the same WAL record contained a non zero write for an entry in
`pending_zero_data_pages` we skipped the zero write.
Case A: We handle this differently now. When ingesting the
`SerialiezdValueBatch` associated with one PG WAL record, we identify the gaps and fill the
them in one go. Essentially, we move from a per key process (gaps were filled after each
new key), and replace it with a per record process. Hence, the optimisation is not
required anymore.
Case B: When the handling of a special record needs to zero out a key,
it just adds that to the current batch. I inspected the code, and I
don't think the optimisation kicked in here.
The overall idea of the PR is to rename a few types to make their
purpose more clear, reduce abstraction where not needed, and move types
to to more better suited modules.
The PROXY Protocol V2 offers a "command" concept. It can be of two
different values. "Local" and "Proxy". The spec suggests that "Local" be
used for health-checks. We can thus use this to silence logging for such
health checks such as those from NLB.
This additionally refactors the flow to be a bit more type-safe, self
documenting and using zerocopy deser.
## Problem
While experimenting with `MAX_SEND_SIZE` for benchmarking, I saw stack
overflows when increasing it to 1 MB. Turns out a few buffers of this
size are stack-allocated rather than heap-allocated. Even at the default
128 KB size, that's a bit large to allocate on the stack.
## Summary of changes
Heap-allocate buffers of size `MAX_SEND_SIZE`.
Unify client, EndpointConnPool and DbUserConnPool for remote and local
conn.
- Use new ClientDataEnum for additional client data.
- Add ClientInnerCommon client structure.
- Remove Client and EndpointConnPool code from local_conn_pool.rs
## Problem
First issues noticed when trying to run scrubber find-garbage on Azure:
- Azure staging contains projects with -1 set for max_project_size:
apparently the control plane treats this as a signed field.
- Scrubber code assumed that listing projects should filter to
aws-$REGION. This is no longer needed (per comment in the code) because
we know hit region-local APIs.
This PR doesn't make it work all the way (`init_remote` still assumes
S3), but these are necessary precursors.
## Summary of changes
- Change max-project_size from unsigned to signed
- Remove region filtering in favor of simply using the right region's
API (which we already do)
Since 5f83c9290b482dc90006c400dfc68e85a17af785/#1504 we've had
duplication in construction of models::TenantConfig, where both
constructs contained the same code. This PR removes one of the two
locations to avoid the duplication.
## Problem
Tenant operations may return `409 Conflict` if the tenant is shutting
down. This status code is not retried by the control plane, causing
user-facing errors during pageserver restarts. Operations should instead
return `503 Service Unavailable`, which may be retried for idempotent
operations.
## Summary of changes
Convert
`GetActiveTenantError::WillNotBecomeActive(TenantState::Stopping)` to
`ApiError::ShuttingDown` rather than `ApiError::Conflict`. This error is
returned by `Tenant::wait_to_become_active` in most (all?)
tenant/timeline-related HTTP routes.
* Also rename `AuthFailed` variant to `PasswordFailed`.
* Before this all JWT errors end up in `AuthError::AuthFailed()`,
expects a username and also causes cache invalidation.
Problem
-------
Tests that directly call the Pageserver Management API to set tenant
config are flaky if the Pageserver is managed by Storcon because Storcon
is the source of truth and may (theoretically) reconcile a tenant at any
time.
Solution
--------
Switch all users of
`set_tenant_config`/`patch_tenant_config_client_side`
to use the `env.storage_controller.pageserver_api()`
Future Work
-----------
Prevent regressions from creeping in.
And generally clean up up tenant configuration.
Maybe we can avoid the Pageserver having a default tenant config at all
and put the default into Storcon instead?

## Problem
We don't have any observability for Safekeeper WAL receiver queues.
## Summary of changes
Adds a few WAL receiver metrics:
* `safekeeper_wal_receivers`: gauge of currently connected WAL
receivers.
* `safekeeper_wal_receiver_queue_depth`: histogram of queue depths per
receiver, sampled every 5 seconds.
* `safekeeper_wal_receiver_queue_depth_total`: gauge of total queued
messages across all receivers.
* `safekeeper_wal_receiver_queue_size_total`: gauge of total queued
message sizes across all receivers.
There are already metrics for ingested WAL volume: `written_wal_bytes`
counter per timeline, and `safekeeper_write_wal_bytes` per-request
histogram.
AWS/azure private link shares extra information in the "TLV" values of
the proxy protocol v2 header. This code doesn't action on it, but it
parses it as appropriate.
It seems the ecosystem is not so keen on moving to aws-lc-rs as it's
build setup is more complicated than ring (requiring cmake).
Eventually I expect the ecosystem should pivot to
https://github.com/ctz/graviola/tree/main/rustls-graviola as it
stabilises (it has a very simply build step and license), but for now
let's try not have a headache of juggling two crypto libs.
I also noticed that tonic will just fail with tls without a default
provider, so I added some defensive code for that.
## Problem
In https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9589, timeline offload code
is modified to return an explicit error type rather than propagating
anyhow::Error. One of the 'Other' cases there is I/O errors from local
timeline deletion, which shouldn't need to exist, because our policy is
not to try and continue running if the local disk gives us errors.
## Summary of changes
- Make `delete_local_timeline_directory` and use `.fatal_err(` on I/O
errors

## Problem
We may sometimes use scheduling modes like `Pause` to pin a tenant in
its current location for operational reasons. It is undesirable for the
chaos task to make any changes to such projects.
## Summary of changes
- Add a check for scheduling mode
- Add a log line when we do choose to do a chaos action for a tenant:
this will help us understand which operations originate from the chaos
task.
## Problem
We don't have any observability into full WalAcceptor queues per
timeline.
## Summary of changes
Logs a message when a WalAcceptor send has blocked for 5 seconds, and
another message when the send completes. This implies that the log
frequency is at most once every 5 seconds per timeline, so we don't need
further throttling.
## Problem
The IAM role associated with our github action runner supports a max
token expiration which is lower than the value we tried.
## Summary of changes
Since we believe to have understood the performance regression we (by
ensuring availability zone affinity of compute and pageserver) the job
should again run in lower than 5 hours and we revert this change instead
of increasing the max session token expiration in the IAM role which
would reduce our security.
## Problem
`tenant_get_shards()` does not work with a sharded tenant on 1
pageserver, as it assumes an unsharded tenant in this case. This special
case appears to have been added to handle e.g. `test_emergency_mode`,
where the storage controller is stopped. This breaks e.g. the sharded
ingest benchmark in #9591 when run with a single shard.
## Summary of changes
Correctly look up shards even with a single pageserver, but add a
special case that assumes an unsharded tenant if the storage controller
is stopped and the caller provides an explicit pageserver, in order to
accomodate `test_emergency_mode`.
## Problem
We wish for the deployment orchestrator to use infra scoped tokens,
but storcon endpoints it's using require admin scoped tokens.
## Summary of Changes
Switch over all endpoints that are used by the deployment orchestrator
to use an infra scoped token. This causes no breakage during mixed
version scenarios because admin scoped tokens allow access to all
endpoints. The deployment orchestrator can cut over to the infra token
after this commit touches down in prod.
Once this commit is released we should also update the tests code to use
infra scoped tokens where appropriate. Currently it would fail on the
[compat tests](9761b6a64e/test_runner/regress/test_storage_controller.py (L69-L71)).
## Problem
The final part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9543 will
be a chaos test that creates/deletes/archives/offloads timelines while
restarting pageservers and migrating tenants. Developing that test
showed up a few places where we log errors during normal shutdown.
## Summary of changes
- UninitializedTimeline's drop should log at info severity: this is a
normal code path when some part of timeline creation encounters a
cancellation `?` path.
- When offloading and finding a `RemoteTimelineClient` in a
non-initialized state, this is not an error and should not be logged as
such.
- The `offload_timeline` function returned an anyhow error, so callers
couldn't gracefully pick out cancellation errors from real errors:
update this to have a structured error type and use it throughout.
## Problem
clickbench regression causes clickbench to run >9 hours and the AWS
session token is expired before the run completes
## Summary of changes
extend lifetime of session token for this job to 12 hours
## Problem
Decoding and ingestion are still coupled in `pageserver::WalIngest`.
## Summary of changes
A new type is added to `wal_decoder::models`, InterpretedWalRecord. This
type contains everything that the pageserver requires in order to ingest
a WAL record. The highlights are the `metadata_record` which is an
optional special record type to be handled and `blocks` which stores
key, value pairs to be persisted to storage.
This type is produced by
`wal_decoder::models::InterpretedWalRecord::from_bytes` from a raw PG
wal record.
The rest of this commit separates decoding and interpretation of the PG
WAL record from its application in `WalIngest::ingest_record`.

If we delete a timeline that has childen, those children will have their
data corrupted. Therefore, extend the already existing safety check to
offloaded timelines as well.
Part of #8088
In https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9032, I would like to
eventually add a `generation` field to the consumption metrics cache.
The current encoding is not backward compatible and it is hard to add
another field into the cache. Therefore, this patch refactors the format
to store "field -> value", and it's easier to maintain backward/forward
compatibility with this new format.
## Summary of changes
* Add `NewRawMetric` as the new format.
* Add upgrade path. When opening the disk cache, the codepath first
inspects the `version` field, and decide how to decode.
* Refactor metrics generation code and tests.
* Add tests on upgrade / compatibility with the old format.

Constructing a remote client is no big deal. Yes, it means an extra
download from S3 but it's not that expensive. This simplifies code paths
and scenarios to test. This unifies timelines that have been recently
offloaded with timelines that have been offloaded in an earlier
invocation of the process.
Part of #8088
Disallow a request for timeline ancestor detach if either the to be
detached timeline, or any of the to be reparented timelines are
offloaded or archived.
In theory we could support timelines that are archived but not
offloaded, but archived timelines are at the risk of being offloaded, so
we treat them like offloaded timelines. As for offloaded timelines, any
code to "support" them would amount to unoffloading them, at which point
we can just demand to have the timelines be unarchived.

## Problem
Uploads of the tenant manifest could race between different tasks,
resulting in unexpected results in remote storage.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9556
## Summary of changes
- Create a central function for uploads that takes a tokio::sync::Mutex
- Store the latest upload in that Mutex, so that when there is lots of
concurrency (e.g. archive 20 timelines at once) we can coalesce their
manifest writes somewhat.
## Problem
Indices used to be the only kind of object where we had to search across
generations to find the most recent one. As of

function, which will be usable for downloading manifest objects as well.

complications:
1. We cannot just use local_proxy binary, as that requires the
pg_session_jwt extension which we don't have available in the current
test suite
2. We cannot use just any old http mock for local_proxy, as auth_broker
requires http2 to local_proxy

JSON. However, `\/` is a valid escape character so what AWS is doing is
technically correct... sigh...

## 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`

twice).

As a DBaaS provider, Neon needs to provide a stable platform for
customers to build applications upon. At the same time however, we also
need to enable customers to use the latest and greatest technology, so
they can prototype their work, and we can solicit feedback. If all
extensions are treated the same in terms of stability, it is hard to
meet that goal.
There are now two new GUCs created by the Neon extension:
neon.allow_unstable_extensions: This is a session GUC which allows
a session to install and load unstable extensions.
neon.unstable_extensions: This is a comma-separated list of extension
names. We can check if a CREATE EXTENSION statement is attempting to
install an unstable extension, and if so, deny the request if
neon.allow_unstable_extensions is not set to true.

## Problem
The `WalAcceptor` main loop currently uses two nested loops to consume
inbound messages. This makes it hard to slot in periodic events like
metrics collection. It also duplicates the event processing code, and assumes
all messages in steady state are AppendRequests (other messages types may
be dropped if following an AppendRequest).
## Summary of changes
Refactor the `WalAcceptor` loop to be event driven.

## Problem
We haven't historically taken this API route where we would onboard a
tenant to the controller in detached state. It worked, but we didn't
have test coverage.
## Summary of changes
- Add a test that onboards a tenant to the storage controller in
Detached mode, and checks that deleting it without attaching it works as
expected.
## Problem
If something goes wrong with a live migration, we currently only have
awkward ways to interrupt that:
- Restart the storage controller
- Ask it to do some other modification/migration on the shard, which we
don't really want.
## Summary of changes
- Add a new `/cancel` control API, and storcon_cli wrapper for it, which
fires the Reconciler's cancellation token. This is just for on-call use
and we do not expect it to be used by any other services.
## Problem
When we use pull_timeline API on an evicted timeline, it gets downloaded
to serve the snapshot API request. That means that to evacuate all the
timelines from a node, the node needs enough disk space to download
partial segments from all timelines, which may not be physically the
case.
Closes: #8833
## Summary of changes
- Add a "try" variant of acquiring a residence guard, that returns None
if the timeline is offloaded
- During snapshot API handler, take a different code path if the
timeline isn't resident, where we just read the checkpoint and don't try
to read any segments.

- Each thread-local tokio-epoll-uring system is given a `LocalHistogram`
to observe the metrics.
- Keep a list of `Arc<ThreadLocalMetrics>` used on-demand to flush data
to the shared histogram.
- Extend `Collector::collect` to report
`pageserver_tokio_epoll_uring_slots_submission_queue_depth`.

This PR does two things:
1. Obtain a `TimelineCreateGuard` object in `unoffload_timeline`. This
prevents two unoffload tasks from racing with each other. While they
already obtain locks for `timelines` and `offloaded_timelines`, they
aren't sufficient, as we have already constructed an entire timeline at
that point. We shouldn't ever have two `Timeline` objects in the same
process at the same time.
2. don't allow timeline creations for timelines that have been
offloaded. Obviously they already exist, so we should not allow
creation. the previous logic only looked at the timelines list.
Part of #8088
## Problem
The storage components take an entire `SafekeeperConf` during
construction, but only actually use the `no_sync` field. This makes it
hard to understand the storage inputs (which fields do they actually
care about?), and is also inconvenient for tests and benchmarks that
need to set up a lot of unnecessary boilerplate.
## Summary of changes
* Don't take the entire config, but pass in the `no_sync` field
explicitly.
* Take the timeline dir instead of `ttid` as an input, since it's the
only thing it cares about.
* Fix a couple of tests to not leak tempdirs.
* Various minor tweaks.
## Problem
The Postgres version in `TimelinePersistentState::empty()` is incorrect:
the major version should be multiplied by 10000.
## Summary of changes
Multiply the version by 10000.
## Problem
We have some known N^2 behaviors when it comes to large relation counts,
due to the monolithic encoding and full rewrites of of RelDirectory each
time a relation is added. Ordinarily our backpressure mechanisms give
"slow but steady" performance when creating/dropping/truncating
relations. However, in the case of a transaction abort, it is possible
for a single WAL record to drop an unbounded number of relations. The
results in an unavailable compute, as when it sends one of these
records, it can stall the pageserver's ingest for many minutes, even
though the compute only sent a small amount of WAL.
Closes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9505
## Summary of changes
- Rewrite relation-dropping code to do one read/modify/write cycle of
RelDirectory, instead of doing it separately for each relation in a
loop.
- Add a test for the bug scenario encountered:
`test_tx_abort_with_many_relations`
The test has ~40s runtime on my workstation. About 1 second of that is
the part where we wait for ingest to catch up after a rollback, the rest
is the slowness of creating and truncating a large number of relations.

# Context
In the PGDATA import code
(https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9218) I add a third way to
create timelines, namely, by importing from a copy of a vanilla PGDATA
directory in object storage.
For idempotency, I'm using the PGDATA object storage location
specification, which is stored in the IndexPart for the entire lifespan
of the timeline. When loading the timeline from remote storage, that
value gets stored inside `struct Timeline` and timeline creation
compares the creation argument with that value to determine idempotency
of the request.
# Changes
This PR refactors the existing idempotency handling of Timeline
bootstrap and branching such that we simply compare the
`CreateTimelineIdempotency` struct, using the derive-generated
`PartialEq` implementation.
Also, by spelling idempotency out in the type names, I find it adds a
lot of clarity.
The pathway to idempotency via requester-provided idempotency key also
becomes very straight-forward, if we ever want to do this in the future.

Previously it inserted ~150MiB of WAL while expecting page fetching to
work in 1s (wait_lsn_timeout=1s). It failed in CI in debug builds.
Instead, just directly wait for the wanted condition, i.e. needed
safekeepers are reported in pageserver timed out waiting for WAL error
message. Also set NEON_COMPUTE_TESTING_BASEBACKUP_RETRIES to 1 in this
test and neighbour one, it reduces execution time from 2.5m to ~10s.

`local_fs` doesn't return file sizes, which I need in PGDATA import

## Solution
Include file sizes in the result.
I would have liked to add a unit test, and started doing that in
* https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9510
by extending the common object storage tests
(`libs/remote_storage/tests/common/tests.rs`) to check for sizes as
well.
But it turns out that localfs is not even covered by the common object
storage tests and upon closer inspection, it seems that this area needs
more attention.

This PR adds a pageserver mgmt API to scan a layer file for disposable
keys.
It hooks it up to the sharding compaction test, demonstrating that we're

where I do the filtering of layer files based on `is_key_disposable`.
Fixes#9098
## Problem
`test_readonly_node_gc` is flaky. As shown in [Allure
Report](https://neon-github-public-dev.s3.amazonaws.com/reports/pr-9469/11444519440/index.html#suites/3ccffb1d100105b98aed3dc19b717917/2c02073738fa2b39),
we would get a `AssertionError: No layers should be removed, old layers
are guarded by leases.` after the test restarts pageservers or after
reconfigure pageservers.
During the investigation, we found that the layers has LSN (`0/1563088`)
greater than the LSN (`0x1562000`) protected by the lease. For instance,
**Layers removed**

</pre>
This means that these layers are not guarded by the leases: they are in
"future", not visible to the static endpoint.

- Remove the assertion layers_removed == 0 after trigger timeline GC
while holding the lease. Instead rely on the successful execution of
the`SELECT` query to test lease validity.

Before, we didn't copy over the `index-part.json` of offloaded timelines
to the new shard's location, resulting in the new shard not knowing the
timeline even exists.
In #9444, we copy over the manifest, but we also need to do this for
`index-part.json`.
As the operations to do are mostly the same between offloaded and
non-offloaded timelines, we can iterate over all of them in the same
loop, after the introduction of a `TimelineOrOffloadedArcRef` type to
generalize over the two cases. This is analogous to the deletion code
added in #8907.
The added test also ensures that the sharded archival config endpoint
works, something that has not yet been ensured by tests.
Part of #8088
## Problem
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9492 added a metric to track
the total count of block gaps filled on rel extend. More context is
needed to understand when this happens. The current theory is that it
may only happen on pg 14 and pg 15 since they do not WAL log relation extends.
## Summary of Changes
A rate limited log is added.
# Problem
Timeline creation can either be bootstrap or branch.
The distinction is made based on whether the `ancestor_*` fields are
present or not.
In the PGDATA import code
(https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9218), I add a third variant
to timeline creation.
# Solution
The above pushed me to refactor the code in Pageserver to distinguish
the different creation requests through enum variants.
There is no externally observable effect from this change.
On the implementation level, a notable change is that the acquisition of
the `TimelineCreationGuard` happens later than before. This is necessary
so that we have everything in place to construct the
`CreateTimelineIdempotency`. Notably, this moves the acquisition of the
creation guard _after_ the acquisition of the `gc_cs` lock in the case
of branching. This might appear as if we're at risk of holding `gc_cs`
longer than before this PR, but, even before this PR, we were holding
`gc_cs` until after the `wait_completion()` that makes the timeline
creation durable in S3 returns. I don't see any deadlock risk with
reversing the lock acquisition order.
As a drive-by change, I found that the `create_timeline()` function in
`neon_local` is unused, so I removed it.

## Problem
WAL ingest couples decoding of special records with their handling

This is a roadblock for our plan to move WAL filtering (and implicitly
decoding) to safekeepers since they cannot

This PR decouples the decoding of the special WAL records from their
application. The changes are done in place

## Summary of changes
- Remove `git config --global --add safe.directory ...` hack
## Problem
When a pageserver is misbehaving (e.g. we hit an ingest bug or something

This is happening in a stop,start cycle during a test. Presumably the
pidfile from the startup background process is still held at the point
we stop, because we let pg_ctl keep running in the background.

- In the controller's `start` function, use pg_ctl & a wait loop for

Persist timeline offloaded state to S3.
Right now, as of #8907, at each restart of the pageserver, all offloaded
state is lost, so we load the full timeline again. As it starts with an
empty local directory, we might potentially download some files again,
leading to downloads that are ultimately wasteful.
This patch adds support for persisting the offloaded state, allowing us
to never load offloaded timelines in the first place. The persistence
feature is facilitated via a new file in S3 that is tenant-global, which
contains a list of all offloaded timelines. It is updated each time we
offload or unoffload a timeline, and otherwise never touched.
This choice means that tenants where no offloading is happening will not
immediately get a manifest, keeping the change very minimal at the
start.
We leave generation support for future work. It is important to support
generations, as in the worst case, the manifest might be overwritten by
an older generation after a timeline has been unoffloaded (and
unarchived), so the next pageserver process instantiation might wrongly
believe that some timeline is still offloaded even though it should be
active.

## Problem
Previously, figuring out how many tenant shards were managed by a

calling into the API. A metric makes it easier to monitor, as
unexpectedly increasing shard counts can be indicative of problems
elsewhere in the system.
## Summary of changes
- Add metrics `storage_controller_pageserver_nodes` (updated on node
CRUD operations from Service) and `storage_controller_tenant_shards`
(updated RAII-style from TenantShard)
At least as far as removing individual files goes, this is the best
pattern for removing. I can't say the same for removing directories, but
I went ahead and changed those to `$(RM) -r` anyway.

Always do timeline init through atomic rename of temp directory. Add
GlobalTimelines::load_temp_timeline which does this, and use it from
both pull_timeline and basic timeline creation. Fixes a collection
of issues:
- previously timeline creation didn't really flushed cfile to disk
due to 'nothing to do if state didn't change' check;
- even if it did, without tmp dir it is possible to lose the cfile
but leave timeline dir in place, making it look corrupted;
- tenant directory creation fsync was missing in timeline creation;
- pull_timeline is now protected from concurrent both itself and
timeline creation;
- now global timelines map entry got special CreationInProgress
entry type which prevents from anyone getting access to timeline
while it is being created (previously one could get access to it,
but it was locked during creation, which is valid but confusing if
creation failed).

## Problem
Pageserver previously goes through the kernel page cache for all the
IOs. The kernel page cache makes light-loaded pageserver have deceptive
fast performance. Using direct IO would offer predictable latencies of
our virtual file IO operations.
In particular for reads, the data pages also have an extremely low
temporal locality because the most frequently accessed pages are cached
on the compute side.
## Summary of changes
This PR enables pageserver to use direct IO for delta layer and image
layer reads. We can ship them separately because these layers are
write-once, read-many, so we will not be mixing buffered IO with direct
IO.
- implement `IoBufferMut`, an buffer type with aligned allocation
(currently set to 512).
- use `IoBufferMut` at all places we are doing reads on image + delta
layers.
- leverage Rust type system and use `IoBufAlignedMut` marker trait to
guarantee that the input buffers for the IO operations are aligned.
- page cache allocation is also made aligned.
_* in-memory layer reads and the write path will be shipped separately._
## Testing
Integration test suite run with O_DIRECT enabled:
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9350
## Performance
We evaluated performance based on the `get-page-at-latest-lsn`
benchmark. The results demonstrate a decrease in the number of IOps, no
sigificant change in the latency mean, and an slight improvement on the
p99.9 and p99.99 latencies.

We will add `virtual_file_io_mode=direct` region by region to enable
direct IO on image + delta layers.

In #9453, we want to remove the non-gzipped basebackup code in the

However, right now the pageserver's page service only accepts basebackup
requests in the following formats:
* `basebackup <tenant_id> <timeline_id>`, lsn is determined by the
pageserver as the most recent one (`timeline.get_last_record_rlsn()`)
* `basebackup <tenant_id> <timeline_id> <lsn>`
* `basebackup <tenant_id> <timeline_id> <lsn> --gzip`
We add a fourth case, `basebackup <tenant_id> <timeline_id> --gzip` to
allow gzipping the request for the latest lsn as well.

connection in pagestream mode from the compute
2. There's no active tenant, so we return `QueryError::Reconnect` from
`PageServerHandler::handle_get_page_at_lsn_request`.
3. Error bubbles up to `PostgresBackendIO::process_message`, bailing us
out of pagestream mode.
4. We instruct the client to reconnnect, but continue serving the libpq
connection. The client isn't yet aware of the request to reconnect and
believes it is still in pagestream mode. Pageserver fails to deserialize
get page requests wrapped in `CopyData` since it's not in pagestream
mode.
## Summary of Changes
When we wish to instruct the client to reconnect, also disconnect from
the server side after flushing the error.
Closes https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/17336
Adds endpoint to install extensions:
**POST** `/extensions`
```
{"extension":"pg_sessions_jwt","database":"neondb","version":"1.0.0"}
```
Will be used by `local-proxy`.
Example, for the JWT authentication to work the database needs to have
the pg_session_jwt extension and also to enable JWT to work in RLS
policies.

## Problem
If we migrate A->B, then B->A, and the notification of A->B fails, then
we might have retained state that makes us think "A" is the last state
we sent to the compute hook, whereas when we migrate B->A we should
really be sending a fresh notification in case our earlier failed
notification has actually mutated the remote compute config.
Closes: #9417
## Summary of changes
- Add a reproducer for the bug
(`test_storage_controller_compute_hook_revert`)
- Refactor compute hook code to represent remote state with
`ComputeRemoteState` which stores a boolean for whether the compute has
fully applied the change as well as the request that the compute
accepted.
- The actual bug fix: after sending a compute notification, if we got a
423 response then update our ComputeRemoteState to reflect that we have
mutated the remote state. This way, when we later try and notify for our
historic location, we will properly see that as a change and send the
notification.

The forever ongoing effort of juggling multiple versions of rustls :3
now with new crypto library aws-lc.
Because of dependencies, it is currently impossible to not have both
ring and aws-lc in the dep tree, therefore our only options are not
updating rustls or having both crypto backends enabled...
According to benchmarks run by the rustls maintainer, aws-lc is faster
than ring in some cases too <https://jbp.io/graviola/>, so it's not

## Problem
The pageserver generally trusts the storage controller/control plane to
give it valid generations. However, sometimes it should be obvious that
a generation is bad, and for defense in depth we should detect that on
the pageserver.
This PR is part 1 of 2:
1. in this PR we detect and warn on such situations, but do not block
starting up the tenant. Once we have confidence that the check is not
firing unexpectedly in the field
2. part 2 of 2 will introduce a condition that refuses to start a tenant
in this situtation, and a test for that (maybe, if we can figure out how
to spoof an ancient mtime)
Related: #6951
## Summary of changes
- When loading an index older than 2 weeks, log an INFO message noting
that we will check for other indices
- When loading an index older than 2 weeks _and_ a newer-generation
index exists, log a warning.

```
## Problem
In #9259, we found that the `check_safekeepers_synced` fast path could
result in a lower basebackup LSN than the `flush_lsn` reported by
Safekeepers in `VoteResponse`, causing the compute to panic once on
startup.
This would happen if the Safekeeper had unflushed WAL records due to a
compute disconnect. The `TIMELINE_STATUS` query would report a
`flush_lsn` below these unflushed records, while `VoteResponse` would
flush the WAL and report the advanced `flush_lsn`. See
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9259#issuecomment-2410849032.
## Summary of changes
Flush the WAL if the compute disconnects during WAL processing.
## Problem
Tenant deletion only removes the current shards from remote storage. Any
stale parent shards (before splits) will be left behind. These shards
are kept since child shards may reference data from the parent until new
image layers are generated.
## Summary of changes
* Document a special case for pageserver tenant deletion that deletes
all shards in remote storage when given an unsharded tenant ID, as well
as any unsharded tenant data.
* Pass an unsharded tenant ID to delete all remote storage under the
tenant ID prefix.
* Split out `RemoteStorage::delete_prefix()` to delete a bucket prefix,
with additional test coverage.
* Add a `delimiter` argument to `asset_prefix_empty()` to support
partial prefix matches (i.e. all shards starting with a given tenant
ID).

Adds a configuration variable for timeline offloading support. The added
pageserver-global config option controls whether the pageserver
automatically offloads timelines during compaction.
Therefore, already offloaded timelines are not affected by this, nor is
the manual testing endpoint.
This allows the rollout of timeline offloading to be driven by the
storage team.

Start unification of the client and connection pool interfaces:
- Exclude the 'global_connections_count' out from the get_conn_entry()
- Move remote connection pools to the conn_pool_lib as a reference
- Unify clients among all the conn pools
## Problem
While running `find-garbage` and `purge-garbage`, I encountered two
things that needed updating:
- Console API may omit `user_id` since org accounts were added
- When we cut over to using GenericRemoteStorage, the object listings we
do during purge did not get proper retry handling, so could easily fail
on usual S3 errors, and make the whole process drop out.
...and one bug:
- We had a `.unwrap` which expects that after finding an object in a
tenant path, a listing in that path will always return objects. This is
not true, because a pageserver might be deleting the path at the same
time as we scan it.
## Summary of changes
- When listing objects during purge, use backoff::retry
- Make `user_id` an `Option`
- Handle the case where a tenant's objects go away during find-garbage.
## Problem

When replica receives WAL record which target page is not present in
shared buffer, we evict this page from LFC.
If all pages from the LFC chunk are evicted, then chunk is moved to the
beginning of LRU least to force it reuse.
Unfortunately access_count is not checked and if the entry is access at
this moment then this operation can cause LRU list corruption.

## Summary of changes
- Amend code paths that handle errors from RemoteTimelineClient to check
for cancellation and emit the Cancelled error variant in these cases
(will give clients a 503 to retry)
- Remove the implicit `#[from]` for the Other error case, to make it
harder to add code that accidentally squashes errors into this
(500-equivalent) error variant.
This would be neater if we made RemoteTimelineClient return a structured
error instead of anyhow::Error, but that's a bigger refactor.
I'm not sure if the test really intends to hit this path, but the error
handling fix makes sense either way.
This should make it a little bit easier for people wanting to check if
their files are formated correctly. Has the added bonus of making the CI
check simpler as well.

Our replication bench project is stuck because it is too slow to
generate basebackup and it caused compute to disconnect.
https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C03438W3FLZ/p1728330685012419
The compute timeout for waiting for basebackup is 10m (is it true?).
Generating basebackup directly on pageserver takes ~3min. Therefore, I
suspect it's because there are too many wasted round-trip time for
writing the 10000+ snapshot aux files. Also, it is possible that the
basebackup process takes too long time retrieving all aux files that it
did not write anything over the wire protocol, causing a read timeout.
Basebackup size is 800KB gzipped for that project and was 55MB tar
before compression.

* Potentially fix the issue by placing a write buffer for basebackup.
* Log how many aux files did we read + the time spent on it.

There are quite a few benefits to this approach:
- Reduce config duplication
- The two sql_exporter configs were super similar with just a few

- Pull SQL queries into standalone files
- That means we could run a SQL formatter on the file in the future
- It also means access to syntax highlighting
- In the future, run different queries for different PG versions
- This is relevant because right now, we have queries that are failing
on PG 17 due to catalog updates

Add a test for timeline offloading, and subsequent unoffloading.
Also adds a manual endpoint, and issues a proper timeline shutdown
during offloading which prevents a pageserver hang at shutdown.
Part of #8088.
## Problem
We were seeing timeouts on migrations in this test.
The test unfortunately tends to saturate local storage, which is shared
between the pageservers and the control plane database, which makes the
test kind of unrealistic. We will also want to increase the scale of
this test, so it's worth fixing that.
## Summary of changes
- Instead of randomly creating timelines at the same time as the other
background operations, explicitly identify a subset of tenant which will
have timelines, and create them at the start. This avoids pageservers
putting a lot of load on the test node during the main body of the test.
- Adjust the tenants created to create some number of 8 shard tenants
and the rest 1 shard tenants, instead of just creating a lot of 2 shard
tenants.
- Use archival_config to exercise tenant-mutating operations, instead of
using timeline creation for this.
- Adjust reconcile_until_idle calls to avoid waiting 5 seconds between
calls, which causes timelines with large shard count tenants.
- Fix a pageserver bug where calls to archival_config during activation
get 404
## Problem
This PR switches CI and Storage to Debain 12 (Bookworm) based images.
## Summary of changes
- Add Debian codename (`bookworm`/`bullseye`) to most of docker tags,
create un-codenamed images to be used by default
- `vm-compute-node-image`: create a separate spec for `bookworm` (we
don't need to build cgroups in the future)
- `neon-image`: Switch to `bookworm`-based `build-tools` image
- Storage components and Proxy use it
- CI: run lints and tests on `bookworm`-based `build-tools` image
We now also track:
- Number of PS IOs in-flight
- Number of pages cached by smgr prefetch implementation
- IO timing histograms for LFC reads and writes, per IO issued
## Problem
There's little insight into the timing metrics of LFC, and what the
prefetch state of each backend is.
This changes that, by measuring (and subsequently exposing) these data
points.

fields on NeonMetrics

Also consider offloaded timelines for obtaining `retain_lsn`. This is
required for correctness for all timelines that have not been flattened
yet: otherwise we GC data that might still be required for reading.
This somewhat counteracts the original purpose of timeline offloading of
not having to iterate over offloaded timelines, but sadly it's required.
In the future, we can improve the way the offloaded timelines are
stored.
We also make the `retain_lsn` optional so that in the future, when we
implement flattening, we can make it None. This also applies to full
timeline objects by the way, where it would probably make most sense to
add a bool flag whether the timeline is successfully flattened, and if
it is, one can exclude it from `retain_lsn` as well.
Also, track whether a timeline was offloaded or not in `retain_lsn` so
that the `retain_lsn` can be excluded from visibility and size
calculation.
Part of #8088
Adds a test for the (now fixed) storage broker limit issue, see #9268

When `Dockerfile.build-tools` gets changed, several PRs catch up with
it and some might get unexpectedly cancelled workflows because of
GitHub's concurrency model for workflows.

removes the ConsoleRedirect backend from the main auth::Backends enum,
copy-paste the existing crate::proxy::task_main structure to use the
ConsoleRedirectBackend exclusively.
This makes the logic a bit simpler at the cost of some fairly trivial
code duplication.
preliminary for #9270
The auth::Backend didn't need to be in the mega ProxyConfig object, so I
split it off and passed it manually in the few places it was necessary.
I've also refined some of the uses of config I saw while doing this
small refactor.
I've also followed the trend and make the console redirect backend it's
own struct, same as LocalBackend and ControlPlaneBackend.

## Problem
This test restarts services in an undefined order (whatever neon_local
does), which means we should be tolerant of warnings that come from
restarting the storage controller while a pageserver is running.
We can see failures with warnings from dropped requests, e.g.

## Summary of changes
- allow-list the `request was dropped before completing` message on
pageservers before restarting services
When there are no timelines in remote storage, the storage scrubber
would incorrectly trip an assertion with "Must be set if results are
present", referring to the last processed tenant ID. When there are no
timelines we don't expect there to be a tenant ID either.
The assertion was introduced in 37aa6fd.
Only apply the assertion when any timelines are present.
## Problem
Storage controller `/control` API mostly requires admin tokens, for
interactive use by engineers. But for endpoints used by scripts, we
should not require admin tokens.
Discussion at
https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C033RQ5SPDH/p1728550081788989?thread_ts=1728548232.265019&cid=C033RQ5SPDH
## Summary of changes
- Introduce the 'infra' JWT scope, which was not previously used in the
neon repo
- For pageserver & safekeeper node registrations, require infra scope
instead of admin
Note that admin will still work, as the controller auth checks permit
admin tokens for all endpoints irrespective of what scope they require.
This seems to paper over a behavioral difference in Python 3.9 and
Python 3.12 with how dataclasses work with mutable variables. On Python
3.12, I get the following error:
ValueError: mutable default <class 'dict'> for field EXTRACTORS is not allowed: use default_factory
This obviously doesn't occur in our testing environment. When I do what
the error tells me, EXTRACTORS doesn't seem to exist as an attribute on
the class in at least Python 3.9.
The solution provided in this commit seems like the least amount of
friction to keep the wheels turning.

## Problem
We need a way to incrementally switch to direct IO. During the rollout
we might want to switch to O_DIRECT on image and delta layer read path
first before others.
## Summary of changes
- Revisited and simplified direct io config in `PageserverConf`.
- We could add a fallback mode for open, but for read there isn't a
reasonable alternative (without creating another buffered virtual file).
- Added a wrapper around `VirtualFile`, current implementation become
`VirtualFileInner`
- Use `open_v2`, `create_v2`, `open_with_options_v2` when we want to use
the IO mode specified in PS config.
- Once we onboard all IO through VirtualFile using this new API, we will
delete the old code path.
- Make io mode live configurable for benchmarking.
- Only guaranteed for files opened after the config change, so do it
before the experiment.
As an example, we are using `open_v2` with
`virtual_file::IoMode::Direct` in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9169
We also remove `io_buffer_alignment` config in
a04cfd754b and use it as a compile time
constant. This way we don't have to carry the alignment around or make

## Problem
The path to TPC-H queries was incorrectly changed in #9306.
This path is used for `test_tpch` parameterization, so all perf tests
started to fail:

## Problem
Previously, observed state updates from the reconciler may have
clobbered inline changes made to the observed state by other code paths.
## Summary of changes
Model observed state changes from reconcilers as deltas. This means that
we only update what has changed. Handling for node going off-line concurrently
during the reconcile is also added: set observed state to None in such cases to
respect the convention.

`download_byte_range()` is basically a copy of `download()` with an
additional option passed to the backend SDKs. This can cause these code
paths to diverge, and prevents combining various options.
This patch adds `DownloadOpts::byte_(start|end)` and move byte range
handling into `download()`.
The "Starting postgres endpoint <name>" message is not needed, because
the neon_cli.py prints the neon_local command line used to start the
endpoint. That contains the same information. The "Postgres startup took
XX seconds" message is not very useful because no one pays attention to
those in the python test logs when things are going smoothly, and if you
do wonder about the startup speed, the same information and more can be
found in the compute log.

Implements an initial mechanism for offloading of archived timelines.
Offloading is implemented as specified in the RFC.
For now, there is no persistence, so a restart of the pageserver will
retrigger downloads until the timeline is offloaded again.
We trigger offloading in the compaction loop because we need the signal
for whether compaction is done and everything has been uploaded or not.
Part of #8088
## Problem
When a node goes offline, we trigger reconciles to migrate shards away
from it. If multiple nodes go offline at the same time, we handled them in
sequence. Hence, we might migrate shards from the first offline node to the second
offline node and increase the unavailability period.
## Summary of changes
Refactor heartbeat delta handling to:
1. Update in memory state for all nodes first
2. Handle availability transitions one by one (we have full picture for each node after (1))

If you override CFLAGS, you also override any flags that PostgreSQL
configure script had picked. That includes many options that enable
extra compiler warnings, like '-Wall', '-Wmissing-prototypes', and so
forth. The override was added in commit 171385ac14, but the intention
of that was to be *more* strict, by enabling '-Werror', not less
strict. The proper way of setting '-Werror', as documented in the docs
and mentioned in PR #2405, is to set COPT='-Werror', but leave CFLAGS
alone.
All the compiler warnings with the standard PostgreSQL flags have now
been fixed, so we can do this without adding noise.

In short: Currently we reserve 75% of memory to the LFC, meaning that if
we scale up to keep postgres using less than 25% of the compute's

This means that for certain memory-heavy workloads, we end up scaling
much higher than is actually needed — in the worst case, up to 4x,
although in practice it tends not to be quite so bad.

In PostgreSQL v16, BUFFERTAGS_EQUAL was replaced with a static inline
macro, BufferTagsEqual. Let's use the new name going forward, and have
backwards-compatibility glue to allow using the new name on v14 and v15,
rather than the other way round. This also makes BufferTagsEquals
consistent with InitBufferTag, for which we were already using the new
name.
Requires https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9086 first to have
`local_proxy_config`. This logic can still be reviewed implementation
wise.
Create JWT Auth functionality related roles without attributes and
`neon_superuser` group.
Read the JWT related roles from `local_proxy_config` `JWKS` settings and
handle them differently than other console created roles.
The prefetch-queue hash table uses a BufferTag struct as the hash key,
and it's hashed using hash_bytes(). It's important that all the padding
bytes in the key are cleared, because hash_bytes() will include them.
I was getting compiler warnings like this on v14 and v15, when compiling

This commit silences those warnings, although it's not clear to me why
the compiler complained like that in the first place. I found the issue
with padding bytes while looking into those warnings, but that was
coincidental, I don't think the padding bytes explain the warnings as
such.
In v16, the BUFFERTAGS_EQUAL macro was replaced with a static inline
function, and that also silences the compiler warning. Not clear to me
why.

If peer safekeeper needs garbage collected segment it will be fetched
now from s3 using on-demand WAL download. Reduces danger of running out of disk space when safekeeper fails.
1. Adds local-proxy to compute image and vm spec
2. Updates local-proxy config processing, writing PID to a file eagerly
3. Updates compute-ctl to understand local proxy compute spec and to
send SIGHUP to local-proxy over that pid.
closes https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/16867
NeonWALReader needs to know LSN before which WAL is not available
locally, that is, basebackup LSN. Previously it was taken from
WalpropShmemState, but that's racy, as walproposer sets its there only
after successfull election. Get it directly with GetRedoStartLsn.
Should fix flakiness of
test_ondemand_wal_download_in_replication_slot_funcs etc.

## Problem
Creation of a timelines during a reconciliation can lead to

location, we still look
at the database (this is a previously). With this change we also look
into the observed state

## Problem
Secondary tenant heatmaps were always downloaded, even when they hadn't
changed. This can be avoided by using a conditional GET request passing
the `ETag` of the previous heatmap.
## Summary of changes
The `ETag` was already plumbed down into the heatmap downloader, and
just needed further plumbing into the remote storage backends.
* Add a `DownloadOpts` struct and pass it to
`RemoteStorage::download()`.
* Add an optional `DownloadOpts::etag` field, which uses a conditional
GET and returns `DownloadError::Unmodified` on match.
## Problem
The S3 tests couldn't use SSO authentication for local tests against S3.
## Summary of changes
Enable the `sso` feature of `aws-config`. Also run `cargo hakari
generate` which made some updates to `workspace_hack`.
In the passing, rename it to NeonLocalCli, to reflect that the binary
is called 'neon_local'.
Add wrapper for the 'timeline_import' command, eliminating the last
raw call to the raw_cli() function from tests, except for a few in
test_neon_cli.py which are about testing the 'neon_local' iteself. All
the other calls are now made through the strongly-typed wrapper
functions
Add wrappers for a few commands that didn't have them before. Move the
logic to generate tenant and timeline IDs from NeonCli to the callers,
so that NeonCli is more purely just a type-safe wrapper around
'neon_local'.
* I had to install `m4` in order to be able to run locally
* The docs/docker.md was missing a pointer to where the compute node
code is
(Was originally on #8888 but I am pulling this out)
## Problem
`Oversized vectored read [...]` logs are spewing in prod because we have
a few keys that
are unexpectedly large:
* reldir/relblock - these are unbounded, so it's known technical debt
* slru block - they can be a bit bigger than 128KiB due to storage
format overhead
## Summary of changes
* Bump threshold to 130KiB
* Don't warn on oversized reldir and dbdir keys

Follow-up of #9234 to give hyper 1.0 the version-free name, and the
legacy version of hyper the one with the version number inside. As we
move away from hyper 0.14, we can remove the `hyper0` name piece by
piece.
Part of #9255
Because:
- it's nice to be up-to-date,
- we already had axum 0.7 in our dependency tree, so this avoids having
to compile two versions, and
- removes one of the remaining dpendencies to hyper version 0
Also bumps the 'tokio-tungstenite' dependency, to avoid having two
versions in the dependency tree.

As seen in https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/17335, during
releases we can have ingest lags that are above the limits for warnings.
However, such lags are part of normal pageserver startup.
Therefore, calculate a certain cooldown timestamp until which we accept
lags up to a certain size. The heuristic is chosen to grow the later we get
to fully load the tenant, and we also add 60 seconds as a grace period
after that term.
Fixes#9231 .
Upgrade hyper to 1.4.0 and use hyper 1.4 instead of 0.14 in the storage
broker, together with tonic 0.12. The two upgrades go hand in hand.
Thanks to the broker being independent from other components, we can
upgrade its hyper version without touching the other components, which
makes things easier.

## Problem
We are seeing frequent pageserver startup timelines while it calls
syncfs(). There is an existing fixture that syncs _after_ tests, but not
before the first one. We hypothesize that some failures are happening on
the first test in a job.
## Summary of changes
- extend the existing sync_after_each_test to be a sync between all
tests, including sync'ing before running the first test. That should
remove any ambiguity about whether the sync is happening on the correct
node.
This is an alternative to https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8957
-- I didn't realize until I saw Alexander's comment on that PR that we
have an existing hook that syncs filesystems and can be extended.

For whatever reason, pg17's WAL pattern seems different from others,
which triggers some flaky behavior within the compaction smoke test.
## Summary of changes
* Run L0 compaction before proceeding with the read benchmark.
* So that we can ensure the num of L0 layers is 0 and test the
compaction behavior only with L1 layers.
We have a threshold for triggering L0 compaction. In some cases, the
test case did not produce enough L0 layers to do a L0 compaction,
therefore leaving the layer map with 3+ L0 layers above the L1 layers.
This increases the average read depth for the timeline.

## Problem
We don't have an alert for long running reconciles. Stuck reconciles are
problematic
as we've seen in a recent incident.

The metric is removed after the long running reconcile finishes. These
events should be rare, so we won't break
the bank on cardinality.

Recent change to avoid the "became visible" log messages from certain
tasks missed a task: the logical size calculation that happens as a

## Summary of changes
- Add OnDemandLogicalSize to the list of permitted tasks for reads
making a covered layer visible
- Tweak the log message to use layer name instead of key: this is more
terse, and easier to use when debugging, as one can search for it
elsewhere to see when the layer was written/downloaded etc.

MaxBackends doesn't include auxiliary processes. Whenever an aux process
made IO operations that updated the counters, they would scribble over
shared memory beoynd the end of the array. The relsize cache hash table
comes after the array, so the symptom was an error about hash table
corruption in the relsize cache hash.
When endpoint is stopped in immediate mode and started again there is a
chance of old connection delivering some WAL to safekeepers after second
start checked need for sync-safekeepers and thus grabbed basebackup LSN.
It makes basebackup unusable, so compute panics. Avoid flakiness by
waiting for walreceivers on safekeepers to be gone in such cases. A
better way would be to bump term on safekeepers if sync-safekeepers is
skipped, but it needs more infrastructure.

Found while searching for other issues in shared memory.
The bug should be benign, in that it over-allocates memory for this
struct, but doesn't allow for out-of-bounds writes.
Following #7656, `TenantConfOpt::TryFrom<toml_edit::Item>` appears to be
dead code. This patch removes `TenantConfOpt::TryFrom<toml_edit::Item>`.
The code does appear to be dead, since the TOML config is deserialized
into `TenantConfig` (via `LocationConfig`) and then converted into
`TenantConfOpt`.
This was verified by adding a panic to `try_from()` and running the
pageserver unit tests as well as a local end-to-end cluster (including
creating a new tenant and restarting the pageserver). This did not fail,
so this is not used on the common happy path at least. No explicit
`try_from` or `try_into` calls were found either.
Resolves#8918.

removed the validation.
## Problem
We need the
[pg_session_jwt](https://github.com/neondatabase/pg_session_jwt/)
extension in the compute image. This PR adds it.
## Summary of changes
I added the `pg_session_jwt` extension in a very similar way to how the
pggraphql and pgtiktoken extensions were added (since they're all
written with pgrx). Then I tested this.

## Problem
`test_multi_attach` is sometimes failing with `invalid compute status
for configuration request: Configuration`. This is likely a result of
the test attempting to reconfigure the compute at the same time as the
storage controller is doing so.
This test was originally written before the storage controller existed,
and is not expecting anything else to be reconfiguring computes at the
same time.
## Summary of changes
- Configure the tenant into scheduling policy `Stop` in the storage
controller at the start of the test, so that it won't try to do anything
to the tenant while the test is running.
* tracing-utils now returns a `Layer` impl. Removes the need for crates
to
import OTel crates.
* Drop the /v1/traces URI check. Verified that the code does the right
thing.
* Leave a TODO to hook in an error handler for OTel to log errors to
when it
assumes the regular pipeline cannot be used/is broken.
## Problem
The live migration code waits forever for the compute notification hook,
on the basis that until it succeeds, the compute is probably using the
old location and we shouldn't detach it.
However, if a pageserver stops or restarts in the background, then this
original location might no longer be available, so there is no point
waiting. Waiting is also actively harmful, because it prevents other
reconciliations happening for the tenant shard, such as during an
upgrade where a stuck "drain" migration might prevent the later "fill"
migration from moving the shard back to its original location.
## Summary of changes
- Refactor the notification wait loop into a function
- Add a checks during the loop, for the origin node's cancellation token
and an explicit HTTP request to the origin node to confirm the shard is
still attached there.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8901
neon_cli.create_tenant() creates a new tenant *and* a timeline on the
tenant, with name "main". In most tests, there's no need to create
another timeline on the same tenant.
There are some more tests that do that, but in the remaining cases, I
wasn't be 100% if the presence of extra root timelines affect what the
tests test, so I left them alone.
## Problem
This test waits for a request to finish, and then expects deletion to
complete almost immediately. The request completes, but it's a 202, the
timeline is still deleting in the background: we need to be more
patient.
## Summary of changes
- Adjust iterations from 2 to 10 when waiting for deletion
## Problem
The Neon components, built locally and by the GitHub workflow have
slightly different version prefixes (git: vs git-env:)
This does not allow running tests against local builds correctly.
## Summary of changes

Part of https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/13127. Resolves
#9153
What changed in this PR:
1. Adds `ComputeSpec.disk_quota_bytes: Option<u64>`
2. Adds new arg to compute_ctl: `--set-disk-quota-for-fs <mountpoint>`
3. Implements running `/neonvm/bin/set-disk-quota` with the right value
if both cmdline arg AND field in the spec are specified
4. Patches `/etc/sudoers.d` to allow `compute_ctl` to set quota with
sudo
This PR is very similar to the swap support added earlier, you can take
a look at it as prior art: #7434
In theory, it can be implemented outside of compute_ctl when we will
have a separate neonvm daemon, but we are not there yet. Current
implementation is the simplest possible to unblock computes with larger
disks.
All code related to usage of `/neonvm/bin/set-disk-quota` is located in
`disk_quota.rs`. We need to call this script with the following
arguments: `/neonvm/bin/set-disk-quota {size_kb} {mountpoint}`. Quotas
are set on the filesystem level, so we need to provide path to the
directory that filesystem was mounted to.
I tested this change locally with
https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/pull/17270. It should be safe to
merge, because this feature is gated by both cmdline arg and field in
the spec. If control-plane doesn't set values in both places,
compute_ctl won't be affected by this change.
close https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8140
The original issue is rather vague on what we should do. After
discussion w/ @problame we decided to narrow down the problems we want
to solve in that issue.
* read path -- do not panic for now.
* write path -- panic only on write errors (i.e., device error, fsync
error), but not on no-space for now.
The guideline is that if the pageserver behavior could lead to violation
of persistent constraints (i.e., return an operation as successful but
not actually persisting things), we should panic. Fsync is the place
where both of us agree that we should panic, because if fsync fails, the
kernel will mark dirty pages as clean, and the next fsync will not
necessarily return false. This would make the storage client assume the
operation is successful.
## Summary of changes
Make fsync panic on fatal errors.

## Problem

## Summary of changes
**compute_ctl**
- Renew lsn lease as soon as `/configure` updates pageserver_connstr,
use `state_changed` Condvar for synchronization.
**pageserver**
As mentioned in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8817#issuecomment-2315768076,
we still want some permanent error reported if a lease cannot be
granted. By considering attachment mode and the added
`lsn_lease_deadline` when processing lease requests, we can also bound
the case of bad requests to a very short period after migration/restart.
- Refactor https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/9024 and move
`lsn_lease_deadline` to `AttachedTenantConf` so timeline can easily
access it.
- Have separate HTTP `init_lsn_lease` and libpq `renew_lsn_lease` API.
- Always do LSN verification for the initial HTTP lease request.
- LSN verification for the renewal is **still done** when tenants are
not in `AttachedSingle` and we have pass the `lsn_lease_deadline`, which
give plenty of time for compute to renew the lease.
**neon_local**
- add and call `timeline_init_lsn_lease` mgmt_api at static endpoint
start. The initial lsn lease http request is sent when we run `cargo
neon endpoint start <static endpoint>`.
## Testing
- Extend `test_readonly_node_gc` to do pageserver restarts and
migration.
## Future Work
- The control plane should make the initial lease request through HTTP
when creating a static endpoint. This is currently only done in
`neon_local`.

## Problem
- In https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8784, the validate
controller API is modified to check generations directly in the
database. It batches tenants into separate queries to avoid generating a
huge statement, but
- While updating this, I realized that "control_plane_client" is a kind
of confusing name for the client code now that it primarily talks to the
storage controller (the case of talking to the control plane will go
away in a few months).
## Summary of changes
- Big rename to "ControllerUpcallClient" -- this reflects the storage
controller's api naming, where the paths used by the pageserver are in
`/upcall/`
- When sending validate requests, break them up into chunks so that we
avoid possible edge cases of generating any HTTP requests that require
database I/O across many thousands of tenants.
This PR mixes a functional change with a refactor, but the commits are
cleanly separated -- only the last commit is a functional change.

There was a tricky race condition in compute_ctl, that sometimes makes
configurator skip updates. It makes a deadlock because:
- control-plane cannot configure compute, because it's in
ConfigurationPending state
- compute_ctl doesn't do any reconfiguration because
`configurator_main_loop` missed notification for it
Full sequence that reproduces the issue:
1. `start_compute` finishes works and changes status
`self.set_status(ComputeStatus::Running);`
2. configurator received update about `Running` state and dropped the
mutex lock in the iteration
3. `/configure` request was triggered at the same time as step 1, and
got the mutex lock
4. same `/configure` request set the spec and updated the state to
`ConfigurationPending`, also sent a notification
5. next iteration in configurator got the mutex lock, but missed the
notification

## Problem
These commits are split off from
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8971/commits where I was
fixing this to make a better scale test pass -- Vlad also independently
recognized these issues with cloudbench in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9062.
1. The storage controller proxies GET requests to pageservers based on
their intent, not the ground truth of where they're really attached.
2. Proxied requests can race with scheduling to tenants, resulting in
404 responses if the request hits the wrong pageserver.
Closes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9062
## Summary of changes
1. If a shard has a running reconciler, then use the database
generation_pageserver to decide who to proxy the request to
2. If such a request gets a 404 response and its scheduled node has
changed since the request was dispatched.
## Problem
Storage controller didn't previously consider AZ locality between
compute and pageservers
when scheduling nodes. Control plane has this feature, and, since we are
migrating tenants
away from it, we need feature parity to avoid perf degradations.
## Summary of changes
The change itself is fairly simple:
1. Thread az info into the scheduler
2. Add an extra member to the scheduling scores
Step (2) deserves some more discussion. Let's break it down by the shard
type being scheduled:
**Attached Shards**
We wish for attached shards of a tenant to end up in the preferred AZ of
the tenant since that
is where the compute is like to be.
The AZ member for `NodeAttachmentSchedulingScore` has been placed
below the affinity score (so it's got the second biggest weight for
picking the node). The rationale for going
below the affinity score is to avoid having all shards of a single
tenant placed on the same node in 2 node
regions, since that would mean that one tenant can drive the general
workload of an entire pageserver.
I'm not 100% sure this is the right decision, so open to discussing
hoisting the AZ up to first place.
**Secondary Shards**
We wish for secondary shards of a tenant to be scheduled in a different
AZ from the preferred one
for HA purposes.
The AZ member for `NodeSecondarySchedulingScore` has been placed first,
so nodes in different AZs
from the preferred one will always be considered first. On small
clusters, this can mean that all the secondaries
of a tenant are scheduled to the same pageserver, but secondaries don't
use up as many resources as the
attached location, so IMO the argument made for attached shards doesn't
hold.

1. Increase statement_timeout. It defaults to 120 s, which is not quite
enough on slow or busy systems with debug build. On my laptop, the index
creation takes about 100 s. On buildfarm, we've seen failures, e.g:
https://neon-github-public-dev.s3.amazonaws.com/reports/pr-9084/10997888708/index.html#suites/821f97908a487f1d7d3a2a4dd1571e99/db1834bddfe8c5b9/
2. Keep twiddling the LFC size through the whole test. Before, we would
do it for the first 10 seconds, but that only covers a small part of the
pgbench initialization phase. Change the loop so that the pgbench run
time determines how long the test runs, and we keep changing the LFC for
the whole time.
In the passing, also fix bogus test description, copy-pasted from a
completely unrelated test.

Part of #8130.
## Problem
Currently, decompression is performed within the `read_blobs`
implementation and the decompressed blob will be appended to the end of
the `BytesMut` buffer. We will lose this flexibility of extending the
buffer when we switch to using our own dio-aligned buffer (WIP in
https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8730). To facilitate the
adoption of aligned buffer, we need to refactor the code to perform
decompression outside `read_blobs`.
## Summary of changes
- `VectoredBlobReader::read_blobs` will return `VectoredBlob` without
performing decompression and appending decompressed blob. It becomes the
caller's responsibility to decompress the buffer.
- Added a new `BufView` type that functions as `Cow<Bytes, &[u8]>`.
- Perform decompression within `VectoredBlob::read` so that people don't
have to explicitly thinking about compression when using the reader
interface.

## Problem
Scheduling on tenant creation uses different heuristics compared to the
scheduling done during
background optimizations. This results in scenarios where shards are
created and then immediately
migrated by the optimizer.
## Summary of changes
1. Make scheduler aware of the type of the shard it is scheduling
(attached vs secondary).
We wish to have different heuristics.
2. For attached shards, include the attached shard count from the
context in the node score
calculation. This brings initial shard scheduling in line with what the
optimization passes do.
3. Add a test for (2).
This looks like a bigger change than required, but the refactoring
serves as the basis for az-aware
shard scheduling where we also need to make the distinction between
attached and secondary shards.

Instead of adding them to the VM image late in the build process, when
putting together the final VM image, include them in the earlier
compute image already. That makes it more convenient to edit the
files, and to test them.
Seems nice to keep all these together. This also provides a nice place
for a README file to describe the compute image build process. For
now, it briefly describes the contents of the directory, but can be
expanded.
We can't FlushOneBuffer when we're in redo-only mode on PageServer, so

The metrics include a histogram of how long we need to wait for a
GetPage request, number of reconnects, and number of requests among
other things.
The metrics are not yet exported anywhere, but you can query them
manually.
Note: This does *not* bump the default version of the 'neon' extension. We
will do that later, as a separate PR. The reason is that this allows us to roll back
the compute image smoothly, if necessary. Once the image that includes the
new extension .so file with the new functions has been rolled out, and we're
confident that we don't need to roll back the image anymore, we can change
default extension version and actually start using the new functions and views.

Legacy compaction (as well as gc-compaction) rely on the GC process to
remove unused layer files, but this relies on many factors (i.e., key
partition) to ensure data in a dropped table can be eventually removed.
In gc-compaction, we consider the keyspace information when doing the
compaction process. If a key is not in the keyspace, we will skip that
key and not include it in the final output.
However, this is not easy to implement because gc-compaction considers
branch points (i.e., retain_lsns) and the retained keyspaces could
change across different LSNs. Therefore, for now, we only remove aux v1
keys in the compaction process.
## Summary of changes
* Add `FilterIterator` to filter out keys.
* Integrate `FilterIterator` with gc-compaction.
* Add `collect_gc_compaction_keyspace` for a spec of keyspaces that can
be retained during the gc-compaction process.

## Problem
Previously, the storage controller may send compute notifications
containing stale pageservers (i.e. pageserver serving the shard was
detached). This happened because detaches did not update the compute
hook state.
## Summary of Changes
Update compute hook state on shard detach.

These were not referenced in any of the other Cargo.toml files in the
workspace. They were not being built because of that, so there was
little harm in having them listed, but let's be tidy.
cargo update ciborium iana-time-zone lazy_static schannel uuid
cargo update hyper@0.14
cargo update --precise 2.9.7 ureq
It might be worthwhile just update all our dependencies at some point,
but this is aimed at pruning the dependency tree, to make the build a
little faster. That's also why I didn't update ureq to the latest
version: that would've added a dependency to yet another version of
rustls.
We frequently mess up our submodule references. This adds one safeguard:
it checks that the submodule references are only updated "forwards", not
to some older commit, or a commit that's not a descended of the previous
one.
As next step, I'm thinking that we should automate things so that when
you merge a PR to the 'neon' repository that updates the submodule
references, the REL_*_STABLE_neon branches are automatically updated to
match the submodule references. That way, you never need to manually
merge PRs in the postgres repository, it's all triggered from commits in
the 'neon' repository. But that's not included here.
Moves the per-timeline code to load timeline metadata into a new
dedicated function called `load_timeline_metadata`. The old
`load_timeline_metadata` becomes `load_timelines_metadata`.
Split out of #8907
Part of #8088
If the primary is started at an LSN within the first of a 16 MB WAL
segment, the "long XLOG page header" at the beginning of the segment was
not initialized correctly. That has gone unnnoticed, because under
normal circumstances, nothing looks at the page header. The WAL that is
streamed to the safekeepers starts at the new record's LSN, not at the
beginning of the page, so that bogus page header didn't propagate
elsewhere, and a primary server doesn't normally read the WAL its
written. Which is good because the contents of the page would be bogus
anyway, as it wouldn't contain any of the records before the LSN where
the new record is written.
Except that in the following cases a primary does read its own WAL:
1. When there are two-phase transactions in prepared state at
checkpoint. The checkpointer reads the two-phase state from the
XLOG_XACT_PREPARE record, and writes it to a file in pg_twophase/.
2. Logical decoding reads the WAL starting from the replication slot's
restart LSN.
This PR fixes the problem with two-phase transactions. For that, it's
sufficient to initialize the page header correctly. The checkpointer
only needs to read XLOG_XACT_PREPARE records that were generated after
the server startup, so it's still OK that older WAL is missing / bogus.
I have not investigated if we have a problem with logical decoding,
however. Let's deal with that separately.
Special thanks to @Lzjing-1997, who independently found the same bug
and opened a PR to fix it, although I did not use that PR.
## Problem
When layer visibility was added, an info log was included for the
situation where actual access to a layer disagrees with the visibility
calculation. This situation is safe, but I was interested in seeing when
it happens.
The log is pretty high volume, so this PR refines it to fire less often.
## Summary of changes
- For cases where accessing non-visible layers is normal, don't log at
all.
- Extend a unit test to increase confidence that the updates to
visibility on access are working as expected
- During compaction, only call the visibility calculation routine if
some image layers were created: previously, frequent calls resulted in
the visibility of layers getting reset every time we passed through
create_image_layers.
## Problem
Seems that PS might be too eager in reporting throttled tasks
## Summary of changes
Introduce a sleep counter. If the sleep counter increases, then the
acquire tasks was throttled.

In https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8903 we observed JSON
decoding error to have the following error message in the log:
```
Error processing HTTP request: Resource temporarily unavailable: 3956 (pageserver-6.ap-southeast-1.aws.neon.tech) error receiving body: error decoding response body
```
This is hard to understand. In this patch, we make the error message
more reasonable.
## Summary of changes
* receive body error is now an internal server error, passthrough the
`reqwest::Error` (only decoding error) as `anyhow::Error`.
* instead of formatting the error using `to_string`, we use the
alternative `anyhow::Error` formatting, so that it prints out the cause
of the error (i.e., what exactly cannot serde decode).
I would expect seeing something like `error receiving body: error
decoding response body: XXX field not found` after this patch, though I
didn't set up a testing environment to observe the exact behavior.

## Problem
Since leases are in-memory objects, we need to take special care of them
after pageserver restarts and while doing a live migration. The approach
we took for pageserver restart is to wait for at least lease duration
before doing first GC. We want to do the same for live migration. Since
we do not do any GC when a tenant is in `AttachedStale` or
`AttachedMulti` mode, only the transition from `AttachedMulti` to
`AttachedSingle` requires this treatment.
## Summary of changes
- Added `lsn_lease_deadline` field in `GcBlock::reasons`: the tenant is
temporarily blocked from GC until we reach the deadline. This
information does not persist to S3.
- In `GCBlock::start`, skip the GC iteration if we are blocked by the
lsn lease deadline.
- In `TenantManager::upsert_location`, set the lsn_lease_deadline to
`Instant::now() + lsn_lease_length` so the granted leases have a chance
to be renewed before we run GC for the first time after transitioned
from AttachedMulti to AttachedSingle.

## Problem
Different keyspaces may require different floor LSNs in vectored
delta layer visits. This patch adds support for such cases.
## Summary of changes
Different keyspaces wishing to read the same layer might
require different stop lsns (or lsn floor). The start LSN
of the read (or the lsn ceil) will always be the same.
With this observation, we fix skipping of image layers by
indexing the fringe by layer id plus lsn floor.
This is very simple, but means that we can visit delta layers twice
in certain cases. Still, I think it's very unlikely for any extra
merging to have taken place in this case, so perhaps it makes sense to go
with the simpler patch.

This constant in 'tenant_conf_defaults' was unused, but there's
another constant with the same name in the global 'defaults'. I wish
the setting was configurable per-tenant, but it isn't, so let's remove
the confusing duplicate.
The DEFAULT_CONCURRENT_TENANT_SIZE_LOGICAL_SIZE_QUERIES constant was
unused, because we had just hardcoded it to 1 where the constant
should've been used.
Remove the ConfigurableSemaphore::Default implementation, since it was
unused.
There's some more code that still checks for uninit and delete
markers, see callers of is_delete_mark and is_uninit_mark, and github
issue #5718. But these functions were outright dead.
Dead code is generally useless, but with Postgres constants in
particular, I'm also worried that if they're not used anywhere, we
might fail to update them at a Postgres version update, and get very
confused later when they have wrong values.
When I checked the log in Grafana I couldn't find the scrubber version.

Problem
-------
Before this PR, `neon_local` sequentially does the following:
1. launch storcon process
2. wait for storcon to signal readiness
[here](75310fe441/control_plane/src/storage_controller.rs (L804-L808))
3. start pageserver
4. wait for pageserver to become ready
[here](c43e664ff5/control_plane/src/pageserver.rs (L343-L346))
5. etc
The problem is that storcon's readiness waits for the
[`startup_reconcile`](cbcd4058ed/storage_controller/src/service.rs (L520-L523))
to complete.
But pageservers aren't started at this point.
So, worst case we wait for `STARTUP_RECONCILE_TIMEOUT/2`, i.e., 15s.
This is more than the 10s default timeout allowed by neon_local.
So, the result is that `neon_local start` fails to start storcon and
stops everything.
Solution
--------
In this PR I choose the the radical solution to start everything in
parallel.
It junks up the output because we do stuff like `print!(".")` to
indicate progress.
We should just abandon that.
And switch to `utils::logging` + `tracing` with separate spans for each
component.
I can do that in this PR or we leave it as a follow-up.
Alternatives Considered
-----------------------
The Pageserver's `/v1/status` or in fact any endpoint of the mgmt API
will not `accept()` on the mgmt API socket until after the `re-attach`
call to storcon returned success.
So, it's insufficient to change the startup order to start Pageservers
first.
We cannot easily change Pageserver startup order because
`init_tenant_mgr` must complete before we start serving the mgmt API.
Otherwise tenant detach calls et al can race with `init_tenant_mgr`.
We'd have to add a "loading" state to tenant mgr and make all API
endpoints except `/v1/status` wait for _that_ to complete.

We bumped into this with Stas with our hackathon project, to create a
standalong program to create image layers directly from a Postgres data
directory. It needs to create image layers without having a Timeline and
other pageserver machinery.
This downgrades the "created image layer {}" message from INFO to TRACE
level. TRACE is used for the corresponding message on delta layer
creation too. The path logged in the message is now the temporary path,
before the file is renamed to its final name. Again commit ca5390a89d
made the same change for the message on delta layer creation.
There's currently no way to just start/stop broker from `neon_local`.

## Problem
We've got 2 non-blocking failures on the release pipeline:
- `promote-compatibility-data` job got skipped _presumably_ because one
of the dependencies of `deploy` job (`push-to-acr-dev`) got skipped
(https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/8940)

`skip_if` parameter to the reusable workflow, which can skip the job
internally, without skipping externally
- Do not run `coverage-report` on release branches
## Problem
It turns out that we can't rely on external orchestration to promptly
route trafic to the new leader. This is downtime inducing.
Forwarding provides a safe way out.
## Safety
We forward when:
1. Request is not one of ["/control/v1/step_down", "/status", "/ready",
"/metrics"]
2. Current instance is in [`LeadershipStatus::SteppedDown`] state
3. There is a leader in the database to forward to
4. Leader from step (3) is not the current instance
If a storcon instance is persisted in the database, then we know that it
is the current leader.
There's one exception: time between handling step-down request and the
new leader updating the
database.
Let's treat the happy case first. The stepped down node does not produce
any side effects,
since all request handling happens on the leader.
As for the edge case, we are guaranteed to always have a maximum of two
running instances.
Hence, if we are in the edge case scenario the leader persisted in the
database is the
stepped down instance that received the request. Condition (4) above
covers this scenario.
## Summary of changes
* Conversion utilities for reqwest <-> hyper. I'm not happy with these,
but I don't see a better way. Open to suggestions.
* Add request forwarding logic
* Update each request handler. Again, not happy with this. If anyone
knows a nice to wrap the handlers, lmk. Me and Joonas tried :/
* Update each handler to maybe forward
* Tweak tests to showcase new behaviour
pg_distrib_dir doesn't include the Postgres version and only depends
on env variables which cannot change during a test run, so it can be
marked as session-scoped. Similarly, the platform cannot change during
a test run.
There was another copy of it in utils.py. The only difference is that
the version in utils.py tolerates files that are concurrently
removed. That seems fine for the few callers in neon_fixtures.py too.
This should generally be faster when running tests, especially those
that run with higher scales.
Ignoring test_lfc_resize since it seems like we are hitting a query
timeout for some reason that I have yet to investigate. A little bit of
improvemnt is better than none.

There is currently no cleanup done after a delta layer creation error,
so delta layers can accumulate. The problem gets worse as the operation
gets retried and delta layers accumulate on the disk. Therefore, delete
them from disk (if something has been written to disk).
## Problem
When a tenant is in Attaching state, and waiting for the
`concurrent_tenant_warmup` semaphore, it also listens for the tenant
cancellation token. When that token fires, Tenant::attach drops out.
Meanwhile, Tenant::set_stopping waits forever for the tenant to exit
Attaching state.
Fixes: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/6423
## Summary of changes
- In the absence of a valid state for the tenant, it is set to Broken in
this path. A more elegant solution will require more refactoring, beyond

Otherwise they are left orphaned when compute_ctl is terminated with a
signal. It was invisible most of the time because normally neon_local or k8s
kills postgres directly and then compute_ctl finishes gracefully. However, in
some tests compute_ctl gets stuck waiting for sync-safekeepers which
intentionally never ends because safekeepers are offline, and we want to stop
compute_ctl without leaving orphanes behind.
This is a quite rough approach which doesn't wait for children termination. A
better way would be to convert compute_ctl to async which would make waiting
easy.

Fixes an issue we observed on staging that happens when the
autoscaler-agent attempts to immediately downscale the VM after binding,
which is typical for pooled computes.
The issue was occurring because the autoscaler-agent was requesting
downscaling before the vm-monitor had gathered sufficient cgroup memory
stats to be confident in approving it. When the vm-monitor returned an
internal error instead of denying downscaling, the autoscaler-agent
retried the connection and immediately hit the same issue (in part
because cgroup stats are collected per-connection, rather than
globally).
There's currently an issue with the vm-monitor on staging that's not
really feasible to debug because the current display impl gives no
context to the errors (just says "failed to downscale").
Logging the full error should help.
For communications with the autoscaler-agent, it's ok to only provide
the outermost cause, because we can cross-reference with the VM logs.
At some point in the future, we may want to change that.
tl;dr it's really hard to avoid throttling from memory.high, and it
counts tmpfs & page cache usage, so it's also hard to make sense of.
In the interest of fixing things quickly with something that should be
*good enough*, this PR switches to instead periodically fetch memory
statistics from the cgroup's memory.stat and use that data to determine
if and when we should upscale.
This PR fixes#5444, which has a lot more detail on the difficulties
we've hit with memory.high. This PR also supersedes #5488.
Before this PR, when we restarted pageserver, we'd see a rush of
`$number_of_tenants` concurrent eviction tasks starting to do imitate
accesses building up in the period of `[init_order allows activations,
$random_access_delay + EvictionPolicyLayerAccessThreshold::period]`.
We simply cannot handle that degree of concurrent IO.
We already solved the problem for compactions by adding a semaphore.
So, this PR shares that semaphore for use by evictions.
Part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/5479
Which is again part of https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/4743
Risks / Changes In System Behavior
==================================
* we don't do evictions as timely as we currently do
* we log a bunch of warnings about eviction taking too long
* imitate accesses and compactions compete for the same concurrency
limit, so, they'll slow each other down through this shares semaphore
Changes
=======
- Move the `CONCURRENT_COMPACTIONS` semaphore into `tasks.rs`
- Rename it to `CONCURRENT_BACKGROUND_TASKS`
- Use it also for the eviction imitate accesses:
- Imitate acceses are both per-TIMELINE and per-TENANT
- The per-TENANT is done through coalescing all the per-TIMELINE
tasks via a tokio mutex `eviction_task_tenant_state`.
- We acquire the CONCURRENT_BACKGROUND_TASKS permit early, at the
beginning of the eviction iteration, much before the imitate
acesses start (and they may not even start at all in the given
iteration, as they happen only every $threshold).
- Acquiring early is **sub-optimal** because when the per-timline
tasks coalesce on the `eviction_task_tenant_state` mutex,
they are already holding a CONCURRENT_BACKGROUND_TASKS permit.
- It's also unfair because tenants with many timelines win
the CONCURRENT_BACKGROUND_TASKS more often.
- I don't think there's another way though, without refactoring
more of the imitate accesses logic, e.g, making it all per-tenant.
- Add metrics for queue depth behind the semaphore.
I found these very useful to understand what work is queued in the
system.
- The metrics are tagged by the new `BackgroundLoopKind`.
- On a green slate, I would have used `TaskKind`, but we already had
pre-existing labels whose names didn't map exactly to task kind.
Also the task kind is kind of a lower-level detail, so, I think
it's fine to have a separate enum to identify background work kinds.
Future Work
===========
I guess I could move the eviction tasks from a ticker to "sleep for
$period".
The benefit would be that the semaphore automatically "smears" the
eviction task scheduling over time, so, we only have the rush on restart
but a smeared-out rush afterward.
The downside is that this perverts the meaning of "$period", as we'd
actually not run the eviction at a fixed period. It also means the the
"took to long" warning & metric becomes meaningless.
Then again, that is already the case for the compaction and gc tasks,
which do sleep for `$period` instead of using a ticker.

## Problem
Folks have re-taged releases for `pg_jsonschema` and `pg_graphql` (to
increase timeouts on their CI), for us, these are a noop changes,
but unfortunately, this will cause our builds to fail due to checksums
mismatch (this might not strike right away because of the build cache).

The sequence that can lead to a deadlock:
1. DELETE request gets all the way to `tenant.shutdown(progress,
false).await.is_err() ` , while holding TENANTS.read()
2. POST request for tenant creation comes in, calls `tenant_map_insert`,
it does `let mut guard = TENANTS.write().await;`
3. Something that `tenant.shutdown()` needs to wait for needs a
`TENANTS.read().await`.
The only case identified in exhaustive manual scanning of the code base
is this one:
Imitate size access does `get_tenant().await`, which does
`TENANTS.read().await` under the hood.
In the above case (1) waits for (3), (3)'s read-lock request is queued
behind (2)'s write-lock, and (2) waits for (1).
Deadlock.

We were returning Pending when a connection had a notice/notification

assumes you will call `cx.waker().wake()` in order to continue

We weren't doing that, so the connection task would get stuck

Upload Test Remote Extensions (#4792)
switched to using the release tag instead of `latest`, but,
the `promote-images` job only uploads `latest` to the prod ECR.
The switch to using release tag was good in principle, but,
reverting that part to make the release pipeine work.
Note that a proper fix should abandon use of `:latest` tag
at all: currently, if a `main` pipeline runs concurrently
with a `release` pipeline, the `release` pipeline may end
up using the `main` pipeline's images.
## Problem
If we fail to wake up the compute node, a subsequent connect attempt
will definitely fail. However, kubernetes won't fail the connection
immediately, instead it hangs until we timeout (10s).
## Summary of changes
Refactor the loop to allow fast retries of compute_wake and to skip a
connect attempt.
## Problem
#4598 compute nodes are not accessible some time after wake up due to
kubernetes DNS not being fully propagated.
## Summary of changes
Update connect retry mechanism to support handling IO errors and
sleeping for 100ms

The consumption metrics synthetic size worker does logical size calculation.
Logical size calculation currently does synchronous disk IO.
This blocks the MGMT_REQUEST_RUNTIME's executor threads, starving other futures.
While there's work on the way to move the synchronous disk IO into spawn_blocking,
the quickfix here is to use the BACKGROUND_RUNTIME instead of MGMT_REQUEST_RUNTIME.
Actually it's not just a quickfix. We simply shouldn't be blocking MGMT_REQUEST_RUNTIME
executor threads on CPU or sync disk IO.
That work isn't done yet, as many of the mgmt tasks still _do_ disk IO.
But it's not as intensive as the logical size calculations that we're fixing here.
While we're at it, fix disk-usage-based eviction in a similar way.
It wasn't the culprit here, according to prod logs, but it can theoretically be
a little CPU-intensive.

(cherry picked from commit d6e35222ea)
This commit introduces an SQL-over-HTTP endpoint in the proxy, with a JSON
response structure resembling that of the node-postgres driver. This method,
using HTTP POST, achieves smaller amortized latencies in edge setups due to
fewer round trips and an enhanced open connection reuse by the v8 engine.
This update involves several intricacies:
1. SQL injection protection: We employed the extended query protocol, modifying
the rust-postgres driver to send queries in one roundtrip using a text
protocol rather than binary, bypassing potential issues like those identified
in https://github.com/sfackler/rust-postgres/issues/1030.
2. Postgres type compatibility: As not all postgres types have binary
representations (e.g., acl's in pg_class), we adjusted rust-postgres to
respond with text protocol, simplifying serialization and fixing queries with
text-only types in response.
3. Data type conversion: Considering JSON supports fewer data types than
Postgres, we perform conversions where possible, passing all other types as
strings. Key conversions include:
- postgres int2, int4, float4, float8 -> json number (NaN and Inf remain
text)
- postgres bool, null, text -> json bool, null, string
- postgres array -> json array
- postgres json and jsonb -> json object
4. Alignment with node-postgres: To facilitate integration with js libraries,
we've matched the response structure of node-postgres, returning command tags
and column oids. Command tag capturing was added to the rust-postgres
functionality as part of this change.
## Problem
Compatibility tests don't support Postgres 15 yet, but we're still
trying to upload compatibility snapshot (which we do not collect).

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.

14 and 15.2 for PostgreSQL 15.

previously we applied the ratelimiting only up to receiving the headers
from s3, or somewhere near it. the commit adds an adapter which carries
the permit until the AsyncRead has been disposed.
fixes#3662.
Calculation of logical size is now async because of layer downloads, so
we shouldn't use spawn_blocking for it. Use of `spawn_blocking`
exhausted resources which are needed by `tokio::io::copy` when copying
from a stream to a file which lead to deadlock.
Fixes: #3657
these are happening in tests because of #3655 but they sure took some
time to appear.
makes the `Compaction failed, retrying in 2s: Cannot run compaction
iteration on inactive tenant` into a globally allowed error, because it
has been seen failing on different test cases.
Small changes, but hopefully this will help with the panic detected in
staging, for which we cannot get the debugging information right now
(end-of-branch before branch-point).
Before only the timelines which have passed the `gc_horizon` were
processed which failed with orphans at the tree_sort phase. Example
input in added `test_branched_empty_timeline_size` test case.
The PR changes iteration to happen through all timelines, and in
addition to that, any learned branch points will be calculated as they
would had been in the original implementation if the ancestor branch had
been over the `gc_horizon`.
This also changes how tenants where all timelines are below `gc_horizon`
are handled. Previously tenant_size 0 was returned, but now they will
have approximately `initdb_lsn` worth of tenant_size.
The PR also adds several new tenant size tests that describe various corner
cases of branching structure and `gc_horizon` setting.
They are currently disabled to not consume time during CI.

Previously, we were trying to re-assign owned objects of the already
deleted role. This were causing a crash loop in the case when compute
was restarted with a spec that includes delta operation for role
deletion. To avoid such cases, check that role is still present before
calling `reassign_owned_objects`.
Resolvesneondatabase/cloud#3553
This reverts commit 826e89b9ce.
The problem with that commit was that it deletes the TempDir while
there are still EphemeralFile instances open.
At first I thought this could be fixed by simply adding
Handle::current().block_on(task_mgr::shutdown(None, Some(tenant_id), None))
to TenantHarness::drop, but it turned out to be insufficient.
So, reverting the commit until we find a proper solution.

Refactors Compute::prepare_and_run. It's split into subroutines
differently, to make it easier to attach tracing spans to the
different stages. The high-level logic for waiting for Postgres to
exit is moved to the caller.
Replace 'env_logger' with 'tracing', and add `#instrument` directives
to different stages fo the startup process. This is a fairly
mechanical change, except for the changes in 'spec.rs'. 'spec.rs'
contained some complicated formatting, where parts of log messages
were printed directly to stdout with `print`s. That was a bit messed
up because the log normally goes to stderr, but those lines were
printed to stdout. In our docker images, stderr and stdout both go to
the same place so you wouldn't notice, but I don't think it was
intentional.
This changes the log format to the default
'tracing_subscriber::format' format. It's different from the Postgres
log format, however, and because both compute_tools and Postgres print
to the same log, it's now a mix of two different formats. I'm not
sure how the Grafana log parsing pipeline can handle that. If it's a
problem, we can build custom formatter to change the compute_tools log
format to be the same as Postgres's, like it was before this commit,
or we can change the Postgres log format to match tracing_formatter's,
or we can start printing compute_tool's log output to a different
destination than Postgres
IMDSv2 has limits, and if we query it on every s3 interaction we are
going to go over those limits. Changes the s3_bucket client
configuration to use:
- ChainCredentialsProvider to handle env variables or imds usage
- LazyCachingCredentialsProvider to actually cache any credentials

plv8 can only be built with a fairly new gold linker version. We used to install
it via binutils packages from testing, but it also updates libc and that causes
troubles in the resulting image as different extensions were built against
different libc versions. We could either use libc from debian-testing everywhere
or restrain from using testing packages and install necessary programs manually.
This patch uses the latter approach: gold for plv8 and cmake for h3 are
installed manually.
In a passing declare h3_postgis as a safe extension (previous omission).
`GRANT CREATE ON SCHEMA public` fails if there is no schema `public`.
Disable it in release for now and make a better fix later (it is
needed for v15 support).

* Fix walreceiver and safekeeper bugs (#2295)
- There was an issue with zero commit_lsn `reason: LaggingWal { current_commit_lsn: 0/0, new_commit_lsn: 1/6FD90D38, threshold: 10485760 } }`. The problem was in `send_wal.rs`, where we initialized `end_pos = Lsn(0)` and in some cases sent it to the pageserver.
- IDENTIFY_SYSTEM previously returned `flush_lsn` as a physical end of WAL. Now it returns `flush_lsn` (as it was) to walproposer and `commit_lsn` to everyone else including pageserver.
- There was an issue with backoff where connection was cancelled right after initialization: `connected!` -> `safekeeper_handle_db: Connection cancelled` -> `Backoff: waiting 3 seconds`. The problem was in sleeping before establishing the connection. This is fixed by reworking retry logic.
- There was an issue with getting `NoKeepAlives` reason in a loop. The issue is probably the same as the previous.
- There was an issue with filtering safekeepers based on retry attempts, which could filter some safekeepers indefinetely. This is fixed by using retry cooldown duration instead of retry attempts.
- Some `send_wal.rs` connections failed with errors without context. This is fixed by adding a timeline to safekeepers errors.
New retry logic works like this:
- Every candidate has a `next_retry_at` timestamp and is not considered for connection until that moment
- When walreceiver connection is closed, we update `next_retry_at` using exponential backoff, increasing the cooldown on every disconnect.
- When `last_record_lsn` was advanced using the WAL from the safekeeper, we reset the retry cooldown and exponential backoff, allowing walreceiver to reconnect to the same safekeeper instantly.

* Add more buckets to pageserver latency metrics (#2225)
* ignore record property warning to fix benchmarks
* increase statement timeout
* use event so it fires only if workload thread successfully finished
* remove debug log
* increase timeout to pass test with real s3
* avoid duplicate parameter, increase timeout
* Major migration script (#2073)
This script can be used to migrate a tenant across breaking storage versions, or (in the future) upgrading postgres versions. See the comment at the top for an overview.

* Fix etcd typos
* Fix links to safekeeper protocol docs. (#2188)
safekeeper/README_PROTO.md was moved to docs/safekeeper-protocol.md in
commit 0b14fdb078, as part of reorganizing the docs into 'mdbook' format.
Fixes issue #1475. Thanks to @banks for spotting the outdated references.
In addition to fixing the above issue, this patch also fixes other broken links as a result of 0b14fdb078. See https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/2188#pullrequestreview-1055918480.

* Fix exponential backoff values
* Update back `vendor/postgres` back; it was changed accidentally. (#2251)
Commit 4227cfc96e accidentally reverted vendor/postgres to an older
version. Update it back.
* Add pageserver checkpoint_timeout option.
To flush inmemory layer eventually when no new data arrives, which helps
safekeepers to suspend activity (stop pushing to the broker). Default 10m should
be ok.
* Share exponential backoff code and fix logic for delete task failure (#2252)
* Fix bug when import large (>1GB) relations (#2172)
Resolves#2097
- use timeline modification's `lsn` and timeline's `last_record_lsn` to determine the corresponding LSN to query data in `DatadirModification::get`
- update `test_import_from_pageserver`. Split the test into 2 variants: `small` and `multisegment`.
+ `small` is the old test
+ `multisegment` is to simulate #2097 by using a larger number of inserted rows to create multiple segment files of a relation. `multisegment` is configured to only run with a `release` build
* Fix timeline physical size flaky tests (#2244)
Resolves#2212.
- use `wait_for_last_flush_lsn` in `test_timeline_physical_size_*` tests
## Context
Need to wait for the pageserver to catch up with the compute's last flush LSN because during the timeline physical size API call, it's possible that there are running `LayerFlushThread` threads. These threads flush new layers into disk and hence update the physical size. This results in a mismatch between the physical size reported by the API and the actual physical size on disk.
### Note
The `LayerFlushThread` threads are processed **concurrently**, so it's possible that the above error still persists even with this patch. However, making the tests wait to finish processing all the WALs (not flushing) before calculating the physical size should help reduce the "flakiness" significantly
* postgres_ffi/waldecoder: validate more header fields
* postgres_ffi/waldecoder: remove unused startlsn
* postgres_ffi/waldecoder: introduce explicit `enum State`
Previously it was emulated with a combination of nullable fields.
This change should make the logic more readable.
* disable `test_import_from_pageserver_multisegment` (#2258)
This test failed consistently on `main` now. It's better to temporarily disable it to avoid blocking others' PRs while investigating the root cause for the test failure.
See: #2255, #2256
* get_binaries uses DOCKER_TAG taken from docker image build step (#2260)
* [proxy] Rework wire format of the password hack and some errors (#2236)
The new format has a few benefits: it's shorter, simpler and
human-readable as well. We don't use base64 anymore, since
url encoding got us covered.
We also show a better error in case we couldn't parse the
payload; the users should know it's all about passing the
correct project name.
* test_runner/pg_clients: collect docker logs (#2259)
* get_binaries script fix (#2263)
* get_binaries uses DOCKER_TAG taken from docker image build step
* remove docker tag discovery at all and fix get_binaries for version variable
* Better storage sync logs (#2268)
* Find end of WAL on safekeepers using WalStreamDecoder.
We could make it inside wal_storage.rs, but taking into account that
- wal_storage.rs reading is async
- we don't need s3 here
- error handling is different; error during decoding is normal
I decided to put it separately.
Test
cargo test test_find_end_of_wal_last_crossing_segment
prepared earlier by @yeputons passes now.
Fixes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/544https://github.com/neondatabase/cloud/issues/2004
Supersedes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/2066
* Improve walreceiver logic (#2253)
This patch makes walreceiver logic more complicated, but it should work better in most cases. Added `test_wal_lagging` to test scenarios where alive safekeepers can lag behind other alive safekeepers.
- There was a bug which looks like `etcd_info.timeline.commit_lsn > Some(self.local_timeline.get_last_record_lsn())` filtered all safekeepers in some strange cases. I removed this filter, it should probably help with #2237
- Now walreceiver_connection reports status, including commit_lsn. This allows keeping safekeeper connection even when etcd is down.
- Safekeeper connection now fails if pageserver doesn't receive safekeeper messages for some time. Usually safekeeper sends messages at least once per second.
- `LaggingWal` check now uses `commit_lsn` directly from safekeeper. This fixes the issue with often reconnects, when compute generates WAL really fast.
- `NoWalTimeout` is rewritten to trigger only when we know about the new WAL and the connected safekeeper doesn't stream any WAL. This allows setting a small `lagging_wal_timeout` because it will trigger only when we observe that the connected safekeeper has stuck.
* increase timeout in wait_for_upload to avoid spurious failures when testing with real s3
* Bump vendor/postgres to include XLP_FIRST_IS_CONTRECORD fix. (#2274)
* Set up a workflow to run pgbench against captest (#2077)
