-# Bottommost Garbage-Collection Compaction
-
-## Summary
-
-The goal of this doc is to propose a way to reliably collect garbages below the GC horizon. This process is called bottom-most garbage-collect-compaction, and is part of the broader legacy-enhanced compaction that we plan to implement in the future.
-
-## Motivation
-
-The current GC algorithm will wait until the covering via image layers before collecting the garbages of a key region. Relying on image layer generation to generate covering images is not reliable. There are prior arts to generate feedbacks from the GC algorithm to the image generation process to accelerate garbage collection, but it slows down the system and creates write amplification.
-
-# Basic Idea
-
-![](images/036-bottom-most-gc-compaction/01-basic-idea.svg)
-
-The idea of bottom-most compaction is simple: we rewrite all layers that are below or intersect with the GC horizon to produce a flat level of image layers at the GC horizon and deltas above the GC horizon. In this process,
-
- All images and deltas ≤ GC horizon LSN will be dropped. This process collects garbages.
- We produce images for all keys involved in the compaction process at the GC horizon.
-
-Therefore, it can precisely collect all garbages below the horizon, and reduce the space amplification, i.e., in the staircase pattern (test_gc_feedback).
-
-![The staircase pattern in test_gc_feedback in the original compaction algorithm. The goal is to collect garbage below the red horizontal line.](images/036-bottom-most-gc-compaction/12-staircase-test-gc-feedback.png)
-
-The staircase pattern in test_gc_feedback in the original compaction algorithm. The goal is to collect garbage below the red horizontal line.
-
-# Branches
-
-With branches, the bottom-most compaction should retain a snapshot of the keyspace at the `retain_lsn` so that the child branch can access data at the branch point. This requires some modifications to the basic bottom-most compaction algorithm that we sketched above. 
-
-![](images/036-bottom-most-gc-compaction/03-retain-lsn.svg)
-
-## Single Timeline w/ Snapshots: handle `retain_lsn`
-
-First let’s look into the case where we create branches over the main branch but don’t write any data to them (aka “snapshots”).
-
-The bottom-most compaction algorithm collects all deltas and images of a key and can make decisions on what data to retain. Given that we have a single key’s history as below:
-
-```
-LSN 0x10 -> A
-LSN 0x20 -> append B
-retain_lsn: 0x20
-LSN 0x30 -> append C
-LSN 0x40 -> append D
-retain_lsn: 0x40
-LSN 0x50 -> append E
-GC horizon: 0x50
-LSN 0x60 -> append F
-```
-
-The algorithm will produce:
-
-```
-LSN 0x20 -> AB
-(drop all history below the earliest retain_lsn)
-LSN 0x40 -> ABCD
-(assume the cost of replaying 2 deltas is higher than storing the full image, we generate an image here)
-LSN 0x50 -> append E
-(replay one delta is cheap)
-LSN 0x60 -> append F
-(keep everything as-is above the GC horizon)
-```
-
-![](images/036-bottom-most-gc-compaction/05-btmgc-parent.svg)
-
-What happens is that we balance the space taken by each retain_lsn and the cost of replaying deltas during the bottom-most compaction process. This is controlled by a threshold. If `count(deltas) < $threshold`, the deltas will be retained. Otherwise, an image will be generated and the deltas will be dropped.
-
-In the example above, the `$threshold` is 2.
-
-## Child Branches with data: pull + partial images
-
-In the previous section we have shown how bottom-most compaction respects `retain_lsn` so that all data that was readable at branch creation remains readable. But branches can have data on their own, and that data can fall out of the branch’s PITR window. So, this section explains how we deal with that.
-
-We will run the same bottom-most compaction for these branches, to ensure the space amplification on the child branch is reasonable. 
-
-```
-branch_lsn: 0x20
-LSN 0x30 -> append P
-LSN 0x40 -> append Q
-LSN 0x50 -> append R
-GC horizon: 0x50
-LSN 0x60 -> append S
-```
-
-Note that bottom-most compaction happens on a per-timeline basis. When it processes this key, it only reads the history from LSN 0x30 without a base image. Therefore, on child branches, the bottom-most compaction process will make image creation decisions based on the same `count(deltas) < $threshold` criteria, and if it decides to create an image, the base image will be retrieved from the ancestor branch.
-
-```
-branch_lsn: 0x20
-LSN 0x50 -> ABPQR
-(we pull the image at LSN 0x20 from the ancestor branch to get AB, and then apply append PQ to the page; we replace the record at 0x40 with an image and drop the delta)
-GC horizon: 0x50
-LSN 0x60 -> append S
-```
-
-![](images/036-bottom-most-gc-compaction/06-btmgc-child.svg)
-
-Note that for child branches, we do not create image layers for the images when bottom-most compaction runs. Instead, we drop the 0x30/0x40/0x50 delta records and directly place the image ABPQR@0x50 into the delta layer, which serves as a sparse image layer. For child branches, if we create image layers, we will need to put all keys in the range into the image layer. This causes space bloat and slow compactions. In this proposal, the compaction process will only compact and process keys modified inside the child branch.
-
-# Result
-
-Bottom-most compaction ensures all garbage under the GC horizon gets collected right away (compared with “eventually” in the current algorithm). Meanwhile, it generates images at each of the retain_lsn to ensure branch reads are fast. As we make per-key decisions on whether to generate an image or not, the theoretical lower bound of the storage space we need to retain for a branch is lower than before.
-
-Before: min(sum(logs for each key), sum(image for each key)), for each partition — we always generate image layers on a key range
-
-After: sum(min(logs for each key, image for each key))
-
-# Compaction Trigger
-
-The bottom-most compaction can be automatically triggered. The goal of the trigger is that it should ensure a constant factor for write amplification. Say that the user write 1GB of WAL into the system, we should write 1GB x C data to S3. The legacy compaction algorithm does not have such a constant factor C. The data we write to S3 is quadratic to the logical size of the database (see [A Theoretical View of Neon Storage](https://www.notion.so/A-Theoretical-View-of-Neon-Storage-8d7ad7555b0c41b2a3597fa780911194?pvs=21)).
-
-We propose the following compaction trigger that generates a constant write amplification factor. Write amplification >= total writes to S3 / total user writes. We only analyze the write amplification caused by the bottom-most GC-compaction process, ignoring the legacy create image layers amplification.
-
-Given that we have ***X*** bytes of the delta layers above the GC horizon, ***A*** bytes of the delta layers intersecting with the GC horizon, ***B*** bytes of the delta layers below the GC horizon, and ***C*** bytes of the image layers below the GC horizon.
-
-The legacy GC + compaction loop will always keep ***A*** unchanged, reduce ***B and C*** when there are image layers covering the key range. This yields 0 write amplification (only file deletions) and extra ***B*** bytes of space.
-
-![](images/036-bottom-most-gc-compaction/09-btmgc-analysis-2.svg)
-
-The bottom-most compaction proposed here will split ***A*** into deltas above the GC horizon and below the GC horizon. Everything below the GC horizon will be image layers after the compaction (not considering branches). Therefore, this yields ***A+C*** extra write traffic each iteration, plus 0 extra space.
-
-![](images/036-bottom-most-gc-compaction/07-btmgc-analysis-1.svg)
-
-Also considering read amplification (below the GC horizon). When a read request reaches the GC horizon, the read amplification will be (A+B+C)/C=1+(A+B)/C. Reducing ***A*** and ***B*** can help reduce the read amplification below the GC horizon.
-
-The metrics-based trigger will wait until a point that space amplification is not that large and write amplification is not that large before the compaction gets triggered. The trigger is defined as **(A+B)/C ≥ 1 (or some other ratio)**.
-
-To reason about this trigger, consider the two cases:
-
-**Data Ingestion**
-
-User keeps ingesting data into the database, which indicates that WAL size roughly equals to the database logical size. The compaction gets triggered only when the newly-written WAL roughly equals to the current bottom-most image size (=X). Therefore, it’s triggered when the database size gets doubled. This is a reasonable amount of work. Write amplification is 2X/X=1 for the X amount of data written.
-
-![](images/036-bottom-most-gc-compaction/10-btmgc-analysis-3.svg)
-
-**Updates/Deletion**
-
-In this case, WAL size will be larger than the database logical size ***D***. The compaction gets triggered for every ***D*** bytes of WAL written. Therefore, for every ***D*** bytes of WAL, we rewrite the bottom-most layer, which produces an extra ***D*** bytes of write amplification. This incurs exactly 2x write amplification (by the write of D), 1.5x write amplification (if we count from the start of the process) and no space amplification. 
-
-![](images/036-bottom-most-gc-compaction/11-btmgc-analysis-4.svg)
-
-Note that here I try to reason that write amplification is a constant (i.e., the data we write to S3 is proportional to the data the user write). The main problem with the current legacy compaction algorithm is that write amplification is proportional to the database size.
-
-The next step is to optimize the write amplification above the GC horizon (i.e., change the image creation criteria, top-most compaction, or introduce tiered compaction), to ensure the write amplification of the whole system is a constant factor.
-
-20GB layers → +20GB layers → delete 20GB, need 40GB temporary space
-
-# Sub-Compactions
-
-The gc-compaction algorithm may take a long time and we need to split the job into multiple sub-compaction jobs.
-
-![](images/036-bottom-most-gc-compaction/13-job-split.svg)
-
-As in the figure, the auto-trigger schedules a compaction job covering the full keyspace below a specific LSN. In such case that we cannot finish compacting it in one run in a reasonable amount of time, the algorithm will vertically split it into multiple jobs (in this case, 5).
-
-Each gc-compaction job will create one level of delta layers and one flat level of image layers for each LSN. Those layers will be automatically split based on size, which means that if the sub-compaction job produces 1GB of deltas, it will produce 4 * 256MB delta layers. For those layers that is not fully contained within the sub-compaction job rectangles, it will be rewritten to only contain the keys outside of the key range.
-
-# Implementation
-
-The main implementation of gc-compaction is in `compaction.rs`.
-
-* `compact_with_gc`: The main loop of gc-compaction. It takes a rectangle range of the layer map and compact that specific range. It selects layers intersecting with the rectangle, downloads the layers, creates the k-merge iterator to read those layers in the key-lsn order, and decide which keys to keep or insert a reconstructed page. The process is the basic unit of a gc-compaction and is not interruptable. If the process gets preempted by L0 compaction, it has to be restarted from scratch. For layers overlaps with the rectangle but not fully inside, the main loop will also rewrite them so that the new layer (or two layers if both left and right ends are outside of the rectangle) has the same LSN range as the original one but only contain the keys outside of the compaction range.
-* `gc_compaction_split_jobs`: Splits a big gc-compaction job into sub-compactions based on heuristics in the layer map. The function looks at the layer map and splits the compaction job based on the size of the layers so that each compaction job only pulls ~4GB of layer files.
-* `generate_key_retention` and `KeyHistoryRetention`: Implements the algorithm described in the "basic idea" and "branch" chapter of this RFC. It takes a vector of history of a key (key-lsn-value) and decides which LSNs of the key to retain. If there are too many deltas between two retain_lsns, it will reconstruct the page and insert an image into the compaction result. Also, we implement `KeyHistoryRetention::verify` to ensure the generated result is not corrupted -- all retain_lsns and all LSNs above the gc-horizon should be accessible.
-* `GcCompactionQueue`: the automatic trigger implementation for gc-compaction. `GcCompactionQueue::iteration` is called at the end of the tenant compaction loop. It will then call `trigger_auto_compaction` to decide whether to trigger a gc-compaction job for this tenant. If yes, the compaction-job will be added to the compaction queue, and the queue will be slowly drained once there are no other compaction jobs running. gc-compaction has the lowest priority. If a sub-compaction job is not successful or gets preempted by L0 compaction (see limitations for reasons why a compaction job would fail), it will _not_ be retried.
-* Changes to `index_part.json`: we added a `last_completed_lsn` field to the index part for the auto-trigger to decide when to trigger a compaction.
-* Changes to the read path: when gc-compaction updates the layer map, all reads need to wait. See `gc_compaction_layer_update_lock` and comments in the code path for more information.
-
-Gc-compaction can also be scheduled over the HTTP API. Example:
-
-```
-curl 'localhost:9898/v1/tenant/:tenant_id/timeline/:timeline_id/compact?enhanced_gc_bottom_most_compaction=true&dry_run=true' -X PUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"scheduled": true, "compact_key_range": { "start": "000000067F0000A0000002A1CF0100000000", "end": "000000067F0000A0000002A1D70100000000" } }'
-```
-
-The `dry_run` mode can be specified in the query string so that the compaction will go through all layers to estimate how much space can be saved without writing the compaction result into the layer map.
-
-The auto-trigger is controlled by tenant-level flag `gc_compaction_enabled`. If this is set to false, no gc-compaction will be automatically scheduled on this tenant (but manual trigger still works).
-
-# Next Steps
-
-There are still some limitations of gc-compaction itself that needs to be resolved and tested,
-
- gc-compaction is currently only automatically triggered on root branches. We have not tested gc-compaction on child branches in staging.
- gc-compaction will skip aux key regions because of the possible conflict with the assumption of aux file tombstones.
- gc-compaction does not consider keyspaces at retain_lsns and only look at keys in the layers. This also causes us giving up some sub-compaction jobs because a key might have part of its history available due to traditional GC removing part of the history.
- We limit gc-compaction to run over shards <= 150GB to avoid gc-compaction taking too much time blocking other compaction jobs. The sub-compaction split algorithm needs to be improved to be able to split vertically and horizontally. Also, we need to move the download layer process out of the compaction loop so that we don't block other compaction jobs for too long.
- The compaction trigger always schedules gc-compaction from the lowest LSN to the gc-horizon. Currently we do not schedule compaction jobs that only selects layers in the middle. Allowing this could potentially reduce the number of layers read/write throughout the process.
- gc-compaction will give up if there are too many layers to rewrite or if there are not enough disk space for the compaction.
- gc-compaction sometimes fails with "no key produced during compaction", which means that all existing keys within the compaction range can be collected; but we don't have a way to write this information back to the layer map -- we cannot generate an empty image layer.
- We limit the maximum size of deltas for a single key to 512MB. If above this size, gc-compaction will give up. This can be resolved by changing `generate_key_retention` to be a stream instead of requiring to collect all the key history.
-
-In the future,
-
- Top-most compaction: ensure we always have an image coverage for the latest data (or near the latest data), so that reads will be fast at the latest LSN.
- Tiered compaction on deltas: ensure read from any LSN is fast.
- Per-timeline compaction → tenant-wide compaction?

-
-## Background: Terminology & Glossary
-
-**kernel page cache**: the Linux kernel's page cache is a write-back cache for filesystem contents.
-The cached unit is memory-page-sized & aligned chunks of the files that are being cached (typically 4k).
-The cache lives in kernel memory and is not directly accessible through userspace.
-
-**Buffered IO**: an application's read/write system calls go through the kernel page cache.
-For example, a 10 byte sized read or write to offset 5000 in a file will load the file contents
-at offset `[4096,8192)` into a free page in the kernel page cache. If necessary, it will evict
-a page to make room (cf eviction). Then, the kernel performs a memory-to-memory copy of 10 bytes
-from/to the offset `4` (`5000 = 4096 + 4`) within the cached page. If it's a write, the kernel keeps
-track of the fact that the page is now "dirty" in some ancillary structure.
-
-**Writeback**: a buffered read/write syscall returns after the memory-to-memory copy. The modifications
-made by e.g. write system calls are not even *issued* to disk, let alone durable. Instead, the kernel
-asynchronously writes back dirtied pages based on a variety of conditions. For us, the most relevant
-ones are a) explicit request by userspace (`fsync`) and b) memory pressure.
-
-**Memory pressure**: the kernel page cache is a best effort service and a user of spare memory capacity.
-If there is no free memory, the kernel page allocator will take pages used by page cache to satisfy allocations.
-Before reusing a page like that, the page has to be written back (writeback, see above).
-The far-reaching consequence of this is that **any allocation of anonymous memory can do IO** if the only
-way to get that memory is by eviction & re-using a dirty page cache page.
-Notably, this includes a simple `malloc` in userspace, because eventually that boils down to `mmap(..., MAP_ANON, ...)`.
-I refer to this effect as the "malloc latency backscatter" caused by buffered IO.
-
-**Direct IO** allows application's read/write system calls to bypass the kernel page cache. The filesystem
-is still involved because it is ultimately in charge of mapping the concept of files & offsets within them
-to sectors on block devices. Typically, the filesystem poses size and alignment requirements for memory buffers
-and file offsets (statx `Dio_mem_align` / `Dio_offset_align`), see [this gist](https://gist.github.com/problame/1c35cac41b7cd617779f8aae50f97155).
-The IO operations will fail at runtime with EINVAL if the alignment requirements are not met.
-
-**"buffered" vs "direct"**: the central distinction between buffered and direct IO is about who allocates and
-fills the IO buffers, and who controls when exactly the IOs are issued. In buffered IO, it's the syscall handlers,
-kernel page cache, and memory management subsystems (cf "writeback"). In direct IO, all of it is done by
-the application.
-It takes more effort by the application to program with direct instead of buffered IO.
-The return is precise control over and a clear distinction between consumption/modification of memory vs disk.
-
-**Pageserver PageCache**: Pageserver has an additional `PageCache` (referred to as PS PageCache from here on, as opposed to "kernel page cache").
-Its caching unit is 8KiB blocks of the layer files written by Pageserver.
-A miss in PageCache is filled by reading from the filesystem, through the `VirtualFile` abstraction layer.
-The default size is tiny (64MiB), very much like Postgres's `shared_buffers`.
-We ran production at 128MiB for a long time but gradually moved it up to 2GiB over the past ~year.
-
-**VirtualFile** is Pageserver's abstraction for file IO, very similar to the facility in Postgres that bears the same name.
-Its historical purpose appears to be working around open file descriptor limitations, which is practically irrelevant on Linux.
-However, the facility in Pageserver is useful as an intermediary layer for metrics and abstracts over the different kinds of
-IO engines that Pageserver supports (`std-fs` vs `tokio-epoll-uring`).
-
-## Background: History Of Caching In Pageserver
-
-For multiple years, Pageserver's `PageCache` was on the path of all read _and write_ IO.
-It performed write-back to the kernel using buffered IO.
-
-We converted it into a read-only cache of immutable data in [PR 4994](https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/4994).
-
-The introduction of `tokio-epoll-uring` required converting the code base to used owned IO buffers.
-The `PageCache` pages are usable as owned IO buffers.
-
-We then started bypassing PageCache for user data blocks.
-Data blocks are the 8k blocks of data in layer files that hold the multiple `Value`s, as opposed to the disk btree index blocks that tell us which values exist in a file at what offsets.
-The disk btree embedded in delta & image layers remains `PageCache`'d.
-Epics for that work were:
- Vectored `Timeline::get` (cf RFC 30) skipped delta and image layer data block `PageCache`ing outright.
- Epic https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/7386 took care of the remaining users for data blocks:
-  - Materialized page cache (cached materialized pages; shown to be ~0% hit rate in practice)
-  - InMemoryLayer
-  - Compaction
-
-The outcome of the above:
-1. All data blocks are always read through the `VirtualFile` APIs, hitting the kernel buffered read path (=> kernel page cache).
-2. Indirect blocks (=disk btree blocks) would be cached in the PS `PageCache`.
-
-In production we size the PS `PageCache` to be 2GiB.
-Thus drives hit rate up to ~99.95% and the eviction rate / replacement rates down to less than 200/second on a 1-minute average, on the busiest machines.
-High baseline replacement rates are treated as a signal of resource exhaustion (page cache insufficient to host working set of the PS).
-The response to this is to migrate tenants away, or increase PS `PageCache` size.
-It is currently manual but could be automated, e.g., in Storage Controller.
-
-In the future, we may eliminate the `PageCache` even for indirect blocks.
-For example with an LRU cache that has as unit the entire disk btree content
-instead of individual blocks.
-
-## High-Level Design
-
-So, before work on this project started, all data block reads and the entire write path of Pageserver were using kernel-buffered IO, i.e., the kernel page cache.
-We now want to get the kernel page cache out of the picture by using direct IO for all interaction with the filesystem.
-This achieves the following system properties:
-
-**Predictable VirtualFile latencies**
-* With buffered IO, reads are sometimes fast, sometimes slow, depending on kernel page cache hit/miss.
-* With buffered IO, appends when writing out new layer files during ingest or compaction are sometimes fast, sometimes slow because of write-back backpressure.
-* With buffered IO, the "malloc backscatter" phenomenon pointed out in the Glossary section is not something we actively observe.
-  But we do have occasional spikes in Dirty memory amount and Memory PSI graphs, so it may already be affecting to some degree.
-* By switching to direct IO, above operations will have the (predictable) device latency -- always.
-  Reads and appends always go to disk.
-  And malloc will not have to write back dirty data.
-
-**Explicitness & Tangibility of resource usage**
-* In a multi-tenant system, it is generally desirable and valuable to be *explicit* about the main resources we use for each tenant.
-* By using direct IO, we become explicit about the resources *disk IOPs*  and *memory capacity* in a way that was previously being conflated through the kernel page cache, outside our immediate control.
-* We will be able to build per-tenant observability of resource usage ("what tenant is causing the actual IOs that are sent to the disk?").
-* We will be able to build accounting & QoS by implementing an IO scheduler that is tenant aware. The kernel is not tenant-aware and can't do that.
-
-**CPU Efficiency**
-* The involvement of the kernel page cache means one additional memory-to-memory copy on read and write path.
-* Direct IO will eliminate that memory-to-memory copy, if we can make the userspace buffers used for the IO calls satisfy direct IO alignment requirements.
-
-The **trade-off** is that we no longer get the theoretical benefits of the kernel page cache. These are:
- read latency improvements for repeat reads of the same data ("locality of reference")
-  - asterisk: only if that state is still cache-resident by time of next access
- write throughput by having kernel page cache batch small VFS writes into bigger disk writes
-  - asterisk: only if memory pressure is low enough that the kernel can afford to delay writeback
-
-We are **happy to make this trade-off**:
- Because of the advantages listed above.
- Because we empirically have enough DRAM on Pageservers to serve metadata (=index blocks) from PS PageCache.
-  (At just 2GiB PS PageCache size, we average a 99.95% hit rate).
-  So, the latency of going to disk is only for data block reads, not the index traversal.
- Because **the kernel page cache is ineffective** at high tenant density anyway (#tenants/pageserver instance).
-  And because dense packing of tenants will always be desirable to drive COGS down, we should design the system for it.
-  (See the appendix for a more detailed explanation why this is).
- So, we accept that some reads that used to be fast by circumstance will have higher but **predictable** latency than before.
-
-### Desired End State
-
-The desired end state of the project is as follows, and with some asterisks, we have achieved it.
-
-All IOs of the Pageserver data path use direct IO, thereby bypassing the kernel page cache.
-
-In particular, the "data path" includes
- the wal ingest path
- compaction
- anything on the `Timeline::get` / `Timeline::get_vectored` path.
-
-The production Pageserver config is tuned such that virtually all non-data blocks are cached in the PS PageCache.
-Hit rate target is 99.95%.
-
-There are no regressions to ingest latency.
-
-The total "wait-for-disk time" contribution to random getpage request latency is `O(1 read IOP latency)`.
-We accomplish that by having a near 100% PS PageCache hit rate so that layer index traversal effectively never needs not wait for IO.
-Thereby, it can issue all the data blocks as it traverses the index, and only wait at the end of it (concurrent IO).
-
-The amortized "wait-for-disk time" contribution of this direct IO proposal to a series of sequential getpage requests is `1/32 * read IOP latency` for each getpage request.
-We accomplish this by server-side batching of up to 32 reads into a single `Timeline::get_vectored` call.
-(This is an ideal world where our batches are full - that's not the case in prod today because of lack of queue depth).
-
-## Design & Implementation
-
-### Prerequisites
-
-A lot of prerequisite work had to happen to enable use of direct IO.
-
-To meet the "wait-for-disk time" requirements from the DoD, we implement for the read path:
- page_service level server-side batching (config field `page_service_pipelining`)
- concurrent IO (config field `get_vectored_concurrent_io`)
-The work for both of these these was tracked [in the epic](https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9376).
-Server-side batching will likely be obsoleted by the [#proj-compute-communicator](https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/10799).
-The Concurrent IO work is described in retroactive RFC `2025-04-30-pageserver-concurrent-io-on-read-path.md`.
-The implementation is relatively brittle and needs further investment, see the `Future Work` section in that RFC.
-
-For the write path, and especially WAL ingest, we need to hide write latency.
-We accomplish this by implementing a (`BufferedWriter`) type that does double-buffering: flushes of the filled
-buffer happen in a sidecar tokio task while new writes fill a new buffer.
-We refactor InMemoryLayer as well as BlobWriter (=> delta and image layer writers) to use this new `BufferedWriter`.
-The most comprehensive write-up of this work is in [the PR description](https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11558).
-
-### Ensuring Adherence to Alignment Requirements
-
-Direct IO puts requirements on
- memory buffer alignment
- io size (=memory buffer size)
- file offset alignment
-
-The requirements are specific to a combination of filesystem/block-device/architecture(hardware page size!).
-
-In Neon production environments we currently use ext4 with Linux 6.1.X on AWS and Azure storage-optimized instances (locally attached NVMe).
-Instead of dynamic discovery using `statx`, we statically hard-code 512 bytes as the buffer/offset alignment and size-multiple.
-We made this decision because:
- a) it is compatible with all the environments we need to run in
- b) our primary workload can be small-random-read-heavy (we do merge adjacent reads if possible, but the worst case is that all `Value`s that needs to be read are far apart)
- c) 512-byte tail latency on the production instance types is much better than 4k (p99.9: 3x lower, p99.99 5x lower).
- d) hard-coding at compile-time allows us to use the Rust type system to enforce the use of only aligned IO buffers, eliminating a source of runtime errors typically associated with direct IO.
-
-This was [discussed here](https://neondb.slack.com/archives/C07BZ38E6SD/p1725036790965549?thread_ts=1725026845.455259&cid=C07BZ38E6SD).
-
-The new `IoBufAligned` / `IoBufAlignedMut` marker traits indicate that a given buffer meets memory alignment requirements.
-All `VirtualFile` APIs and several software layers built on top of them only accept buffers that implement those traits.
-Implementors of the marker traits are:
- `IoBuffer` / `IoBufferMut`: used for most reads and writes
- `PageWriteGuardBuf`: for filling PS PageCache pages (index blocks!)
-
-The alignment requirement is infectious; it permeates bottom-up throughout the code base.
-We stop the infection at roughly the same layers in the code base where we stopped permeating the
-use of owned-buffers-style API for tokio-epoll-uring. The way the stopping works is by introducing
-a memory-to-memory copy from/to some unaligned memory location on the stack/current/heap.
-The places where we currently stop permeating are sort of arbitrary. For example, it would probably
-make sense to replace more usage of `Bytes` that we know holds 8k pages with 8k-sized `IoBuffer`s.
-
-The `IoBufAligned` / `IoBufAlignedMut` types do not protect us from the following types of runtime errors:
- non-adherence to file offset alignment requirements
- non-adherence to io size requirements
-
-The following higher-level constructs ensure we meet the requirements:
- read path: the `ChunkedVectoredReadBuilder` and `mod vectored_dio_read` ensure reads happen at aligned offsets and in appropriate size multiples.
- write path: `BufferedWriter` only writes in multiples of the capacity, at offsets that are `start_offset+N*capacity`; see its doc comment.
-
-Note that these types are used always, regardless of whether direct IO is enabled or not.
-There are some cases where this adds unnecessary overhead to buffered IO (e.g. all memcpy's inflated to multiples of 512).
-But we could not identify meaningful impact in practice when we shipped these changes while we were still using buffered IO.
-
-### Configuration / Feature Flagging
-
-In the previous section we described how all users of VirtualFile were changed to always adhere to direct IO alignment and size-multiple requirements.
-To actually enable direct IO, all we need to do is set the `O_DIRECT` flag in `open` syscalls / io_uring operations.
-
-We set `O_DIRECT` based on:
- the VirtualFile API used to create/open the VirtualFile instance
- the `virtual_file_io_mode` configuration flag
- the OpenOptions `read` and/or `write` flags.
-
-The VirtualFile APIs suffixed with `_v2` are the only ones that _may_ open with `O_DIRECT` depending on the other two factors in above list.
-Other APIs never use `O_DIRECT`.
-(The name is bad and should really be `_maybe_direct_io`.)
-
-The reason for having new APIs is because all code used VirtualFile but implementation and rollout happened in consecutive phases (read path, InMemoryLayer, write path).
-At the VirtualFile level, context on whether an instance of VirtualFile is on read path, InMemoryLayer, or write path is not available.
-
-The `_v2` APIs then check make the decision to set `O_DIRECT` based on the `virtual_file_io_mode` flag and the OpenOptions `read`/`write` flags.
-The result is the following runtime behavior:
-
-|what|OpenOptions|`v_f_io_mode`<br/>=`buffered`|`v_f_io_mode`<br/>=`direct`|`v_f_io_mode`<br/>=`direct-rw`|
-|-|-|-|-|-|
-|`DeltaLayerInner`|read|()|O_DIRECT|O_DIRECT|
-|`ImageLayerInner`|read|()|O_DIRECT|O_DIRECT|
-|`InMemoryLayer`|read + write|()|()*|O_DIRECT|
-|`DeltaLayerWriter`| write | () | () |  O_DIRECT |
-|`ImageLayerWriter`| write | () | () |  O_DIRECT |
-|`download_layer_file`|write |()|()|O_DIRECT|
-
-The `InMemoryLayer` is marked with `*` because there was a period when it *did* use O_DIRECT under `=direct`.
-That period was when we implemented and shipped the first version of `BufferedWriter`.
-We used it in `InMemoryLayer` and `download_layer_file` but it was only sensitive to `v_f_io_mode` in `InMemoryLayer`.
-The introduction of `=direct-rw`, and the switch of the remaining write path to `BufferedWriter`, happened later,
-in https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/pull/11558.
-
-Note that this way of feature flagging inside VirtualFile makes it less and less a general purpose POSIX file access abstraction.
-For example, with `=direct-rw` enabled, it is no longer possible to open a `VirtualFile` without `O_DIRECT`. It'll always be set.
-
-## Correctness Validation
-
-The correctness risks with this project were:
- Memory safety issues in the `IoBuffer` / `IoBufferMut` implementation.
-  These types expose an API that is largely identical to that of the `bytes` crate and/or Vec.
- Runtime errors (=> downtime / unavailability) because of non-adherence to alignment/size-multiple requirements, resulting in EINVAL on the read path.
-
-We sadly do not have infrastructure to run pageserver under `cargo miri`.
-So for memory safety issues, we relied on careful peer review.
-
-We do assert the production-like alignment requirements in testing builds.
-However, these asserts were added retroactively.
-The actual validation before rollout happened in staging and pre-prod.
-We eventually enabled  `=direct`/`=direct-rw` for Rust unit tests and the regression test suite.
-I cannot recall a single instance of staging/pre-prod/production errors caused by non-adherence to alignment/size-multiple requirements.
-Evidently developer testing was good enough.
-
-## Performance Validation
-
-The read path went through a lot of iterations of benchmarking in staging and pre-prod.
-The benchmarks in those environments demonstrated performance regressions early in the implementation.
-It was actually this performance testing that made us implement batching and concurrent IO to avoid unacceptable regressions.
-
-The write path was much quicker to validate because `bench_ingest` covered all of the (less numerous) access patterns.
-
-## Future Work
-
-There is minor and major follow-up work that can be considered in the future.
-Check the (soon-to-be-closed) Epic https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/8130's "Follow-Ups" section for a current list.
-
-Read Path:
- PS PageCache hit rate is crucial to unlock concurrent IO and reasonable latency for random reads generally.
-  Instead of reactively sizing PS PageCache, we should estimate the required PS PageCache size
-  and potentially also use that to drive placement decisions of shards from StorageController
-  https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9288
- ... unless we get rid of PS PageCache entirely and cache the index block in a more specialized cache.
-  But even then, an estimation of the working set would be helpful to figure out caching strategy.
-
-Write Path:
- BlobWriter and its users could switch back to a borrowed API  https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10129
- ... unless we want to implement bypass mode for large writes https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10101
- The `TempVirtualFile` introduced as part of this project could internalize more of the common usage pattern: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11692
- Reduce conditional compilation around `virtual_file_io_mode`: https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11676
-
-Both:
- A performance simulation mode that pads VirtualFile op latencies to typical NVMe latencies, even if the underlying storage is faster.
-  This would avoid misleadingly good performance on developer systems and in benchmarks on systems that are less busy than production hosts.
-  However, padding latencies at microsecond scale is non-trivial.
-
-Misc:
- We should finish trimming VirtualFile's scope to be truly limited to core data path read & write.
-  Abstractions for reading & writing pageserver config, location config, heatmaps, etc, should use
-  APIs in a different package (`VirtualFile::crashsafe_overwrite` and `VirtualFile::read_to_string`
-  are good entrypoints for cleanup.) https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11809

-# Appendix
-
-## Why Kernel Page Cache Is Ineffective At Tenant High Density
-
-In the Motivation section, we stated:
-
-> - **The kernel page cache ineffective** at high tenant density anyways (#tenants/pageserver instance).
-
-The reason is that the  Pageserver workload sent from Computes is whatever is a Compute cache(s) miss.
-That's either sequential scans or random reads.
-A random read workload simply causes cache thrashing because a packed Pageserver NVMe drive (`im4gn.2xlarge`) has ~100x more capacity than DRAM available.
-It is complete waste to have the kernel page cache cache data blocks in this case.
-Sequential read workloads *can* benefit iff those pages have been updated recently (=no image layer yet) and together in time/LSN space.
-In such cases, the WAL records of those updates likely sit on the same delta layer block.
-When Compute does a sequential scan, it sends a series of single-page requests for these individual pages.
-When Pageserver processes the second request in such a series, it goes to the same delta layer block and have a kernel page cache hit.
-This dependence on kernel page cache for sequential scan performance is significant, but the solution is at a higher level than generic data block caching.
-We can either add a small per-connection LRU cache for such delta layer blocks.
-Or we can merge those sequential requests into a larger vectored get request, which is designed to never read a block twice.
-This amortizes the read latency for our delta layer block across the vectored get batch size (which currently is up to 32).
-
-There are Pageserver-internal workloads that do sequential access (compaction, image layer generation), but these
-1. are not latency-critical and can do batched access outside of the `page_service` protocol constraints (image layer generation)
-2. don't actually need to reconstruct images and therefore can use totally different access methods (=> compaction can use k-way merge iterators with their own internal buffering / prefetching).

-# Concurrent IO for Pageserver Read Path
-
-Date: May 6, 2025
-
-## Summary
-
-This document is a retroactive RFC on the Pageserver Concurrent IO work that happened in late 2024 / early 2025.
-
-The gist of it is that Pageserver's `Timeline::get_vectored` now _issues_ the data block read operations against layer files
-_as it traverses the layer map_ and only _wait_ once, for all of them, after traversal is complete.
-
-Assuming a good PS PageCache hits on the index blocks during traversal, this drives down the "wait-for-disk" time
-contribution down from `random_read_io_latency * O(number_of_values)` to `random_read_io_latency * O(1 + traversal)`.
-
-The motivation for why this work had to happen when it happened was the switch of Pageserver to
- not cache user data blocks in PS PageCache and
- switch to use direct IO.
-More context on this are given in complimentary RFC `./rfcs/2025-04-30-direct-io-for-pageserver.md`.

-Design and implementation by:
- Vlad Lazar <vlad@neon.tech>
- Christian Schwarz <christian@neon.tech>
-
-## Background & Motivation
-
-The Pageserver read path (`Timeline::get_vectored`) consists of two high-level steps:
- Retrieve the delta and image `Value`s required to reconstruct the requested Page@LSN (`Timeline::get_values_reconstruct_data`).
- Pass these values to walredo to reconstruct the page images.
-
-The read path used to be single-key but has been made multi-key some time ago.
-([Internal tech talk by Vlad](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vfY24S869UP8lEUUDHRWKF1AJn8fpWoJ/view?usp=drive_link))
-However, for simplicity, most of this doc will explain things in terms of a single key being requested.
-
-The `Value` retrieval step above can be broken down into the following functions:
- **Traversal** of the layer map to figure out which `Value`s from which layer files are required for the page reconstruction.
- **Read IO Planning**: planning of the read IOs that need to be issued to the layer files / filesystem / disk.
-  The main job here is to coalesce the small value reads into larger filesystem-level read operations.
-  This layer also takes care of direct IO alignment and size-multiple requirements (cf the RFC for details.)
-  Check `struct VectoredReadPlanner` and `mod vectored_dio_read` for how it's done.
- **Perform the read IO** using `tokio-epoll-uring`.
-
-Before this project, above functions were sequentially interleaved, meaning:
-1. we would advance traversal, ...
-2. discover, that we need to read a value, ...
-3. read it from disk using `tokio-epoll-uring`, ...
-4. goto 1 unless we're done.
-
-This meant that if N `Value`s need to be read to reconstruct a page,
-the time we spend waiting for disk will be we `random_read_io_latency * O(number_of_values)`.
-
-## Design
-
-The **traversal** and **read IO Planning** jobs still happen sequentially, layer by layer, as before.
-But instead of performing the read IOs inline, we submit the IOs to a concurrent tokio task for execution.
-After the last read from the last layer is submitted, we wait for the IOs to complete.
-
-Assuming the filesystem / disk is able to actually process the submitted IOs without queuing,
-we arrive at _time spent waiting for disk_ ~ `random_read_io_latency * O(1 + traversal)`.
-
-Note this whole RFC is concerned with the steady state where all layer files required for reconstruction are resident on local NVMe.
-Traversal will stall on on-demand layer download if a layer is not yet resident.
-It cannot proceed without the layer being resident beccause its next step depends on the contents of the layer index.
-
-### Avoiding Waiting For IO During Traversal
-
-The `traversal` component in above time-spent-waiting-for-disk estimation is dominant and needs to be minimized.
-
-Before this project, traversal needed to perform IOs for the following:
-1. The time we are waiting on PS PageCache to page in the visited layers' disk btree index blocks.
-2. When visiting a delta layer, reading the data block that contains a `Value` for a requested key,
-   to determine whether the `Value::will_init` the page and therefore traversal can stop for this key.
-
-The solution for (1) is to raise the PS PageCache size such that the hit rate is practically 100%.
-(Check out the `Background: History Of Caching In Pageserver` section in the RFC on Direct IO for more details.)
-
-The solution for (2) is source `will_init` from the disk btree index keys, which fortunately
-already encode this bit of information since the introduction of the current storage/layer format.
-
-### Concurrent IOs, Submission & Completion
-
-To separate IO submission from waiting for its completion,
-we introduce the notion of an `IoConcurrency` struct through which IOs are issued.
-
-An IO is an opaque future that
- captures the `tx` side of a `oneshot` channel
- performs the read IO by calling `VirtualFile::read_exact_at().await`
- sending the result into the `tx`
-
-Issuing an IO means `Box`ing the future above and handing that `Box` over to the `IoConcurrency` struct.
-
-The traversal code that submits the IO stores the the corresponding `oneshot::Receiver`
-in the `VectoredValueReconstructState`, in the the place where we previously stored
-the sequentially read `img` and `records` fields.
-
-When we're done with traversal, we wait for all submitted IOs:
-for each key, there is a future that awaits all the `oneshot::Receiver`s
-for that key, 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`.
-
-### Error handling, Panics, Cancellation-Safety
-
-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 reconstruction of that value.
-
-Panics and dropping of the `get_vectored` future before it completes
-leaves the sidecar task running and does not cancel submitted IOs
-(see next section for details on sidecar task lifecycle).
-All of this is safe, but, today's preference in the team is to close out
-all resource usage explicitly if possible, rather than cancelling + forgetting
-about it on drop. So, there is warning if we drop a
-`VectoredValueReconstructState`/`ValuesReconstructState` that still has uncompleted IOs.
-
-### Sidecar Task Lifecycle
-
-The sidecar tokio task is spawned as part of the `IoConcurrency::spawn_from_conf` struct.
-The `IoConcurrency` object acts as a handle through which IO futures are submitted.
-
-The spawned tokio task holds the `Timeline::gate` open.
-It is _not_ sensitive to `Timeline::cancel`, but instead to the `IoConcurrency` object being dropped.
-
-Once the `IoConcurrency` struct is dropped, no new IO futures can come in
-but already submitted IO futures will be driven to completion regardless.
-We _could_ safely stop polling these futures because `tokio-epoll-uring` op futures are cancel-safe.
-But the underlying kernel and hardware resources are not magically freed up by that.
-So, again, in the interest of closing out all outstanding resource usage, we make timeline shutdown wait for sidecar tasks and their IOs to complete.
-Under normal conditions, this should be in the low hundreds of microseconds.
-
-It is advisable to make the `IoConcurrency` as long-lived as possible to minimize the amount of
-tokio task churn (=> lower pressure on tokio). Generally this means creating it "high up" in the call stack.
-The pain with this is that the `IoConcurrency` reference needs to be propagated "down" to
-the (short-lived) functions/scope where we issue the IOs.
-We would like to use `RequestContext` for this propagation in the future (issue [here](https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10460)).
-For now, we just add another argument to the relevant code paths.
-
-### Feature Gating
-
-The `IoConcurrency` is an `enum` with two variants: `Sequential` and `SidecarTask`.
-
-The behavior from before this project is available through `IoConcurrency::Sequential`,
-which awaits the IO futures in place, without "spawning" or "submitting" them anywhere.
-
-The `get_vectored_concurrent_io` pageserver config variable determines the runtime value,
-**except** for the places that use `IoConcurrency::sequential` to get an `IoConcurrency` object.
-
-### Alternatives Explored & Caveats Encountered
-
-A few words on the rationale behind having a sidecar *task* and what
-alternatives were considered but abandoned.
-
-#### Why We Need A Sidecar *Task* / Why Just `FuturesUnordered` Doesn't Work
-
-We explored to not have a sidecar task, and instead have a `FuturesUnordered` per
-`Timeline::get_vectored`. We would queue all IO futures in it and poll it for the
-first time after traversal is complete (i.e., at `collect_pending_ios`).
-
-The obvious disadvantage, but not showstopper, is that we wouldn't be submitting
-IOs until traversal is complete.
-
-The showstopper however, is that deadlocks happen if we don't drive the
-IO futures to completion independently of the traversal task.
-The reason is that both the IO futures and the traversal task may hold _some_,
-_and_ try to acquire _more_, shared limited resources.
-For example, both the travseral 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)
-
-#### Why We Don't Do `tokio::task`-per-IO-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 led us to abandon this variant.
-
-## Future Work
-
-In addition to what is listed here, also check the "Punted" list in the epic:
-https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/9378
-
-### Enable `Timeline::get`
-
-The only major code path that still uses `IoConcurrency::sequential` is `Timeline::get`.
-The impact is that roughly the following parts of pageserver do not benefit yet:
- parts of basebackup
- reads performed by the ingest path
- most internal operations that read metadata keys (e.g. `collect_keyspace`!)
-
-The solution is to propagate `IoConcurrency` via `RequestContext`:https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/10460
-
-The tricky part is to figure out at which level of the code the `IoConcurrency` is spawned (and added to the RequestContext).
-
-Also, propagation via `RequestContext` makes makes it harder to tell during development whether a given
-piece of code uses concurrent vs sequential mode: one has to recurisvely walk up the call tree to find the
-place that puts the `IoConcurrency` into the `RequestContext`.
-We'd have to use `::Sequential` as the conservative default value in a fresh `RequestContext`, and add some
-observability to weed out places that fail to enrich with a properly spanwed `IoConcurrency::spawn_from_conf`.
-
-### Concurrent On-Demand Downloads enabled by Detached Indices
-
-As stated earlier, traversal stalls on on-demand download because its next step depends on the contents of the layer index.
-Once we have separated indices from data blocks (=> https://github.com/neondatabase/neon/issues/11695)
-we will only need to stall if the index is not resident. The download of the data blocks can happen concurrently or in the background. For example:
- Move the `Layer::get_or_maybe_download().await` inside the IO futures.
-  This goes in the opposite direction of the next "future work" item below, but it's easy to do.
- Serve the IO future directly from object storage and dispatch the layer download
-  to some other actor, e.g., an actor that is responsible for both downloads & eviction.
-
-### New `tokio-epoll-uring` API That Separates Submission & Wait-For-Completion
-
-Instead of `$op().await` style API, it would be useful to have a different `tokio-epoll-uring` API
-that separates enqueuing (without necessarily `io_uring_enter`ing the kernel each time), submission,
-and then wait for completion.
-
-The `$op().await` API is too opaque, so we _have_ to stuff it into a `FuturesUnordered`.
-
-A split API as sketched above would allow traversal to ensure an IO operation is enqueued to the kernel/disk (and get back-pressure iff the io_uring squeue is full).
-While avoiding spending of CPU cycles on processing of completions while we're still traversing.
-
-The idea gets muddied by the fact that we may self-deadlock if we submit too much without completing.
-So, the submission part of the split API needs to process completions if squeue is full.
-
-In any way, this split API is precondition for the bigger issue with the design presented here,
-which we dicsuss in the next section.
-
-### Opaque Futures Are Brittle
-
-The use of opaque futures to represent submitted IOs is a clever hack to minimize changes & allow for near-perfect feature-gating.
-However, we take on **brittleness** because callers must guarantee that the submitted futures are independent.
-By our experience, it is non-trivial to identify or rule out the interdependencies.
-See the lengthy doc comment on the `IoConcurrency::spawn_io` method for more details.
-
-The better interface and proper subsystem boundary is a _descriptive_ struct of what needs to be done ("read this range from this VirtualFile into this buffer")
-and get back a means to wait for completion.
-The subsystem can thereby reason by its own how operations may be related;
-unlike today, where the submitted opaque future can do just about anything.

-/// At the point of writing this code, PostHog does not have a functional Rust client with feature flag support.
-/// This is a lite version that only supports local evaluation of feature flags and only supports those JSON specs
-/// that will be used within Neon.
-///
-/// PostHog is designed as a browser-server system: the browser (client) side uses the client key and is exposed
-/// to the end users; the server side uses a server key and is not exposed to the end users. The client and the
-/// server has different API keys and provide a different set of APIs. In Neon, we only have the server (that is
-/// pageserver), and it will use both the client API and the server API. So we need to store two API keys within
-/// our PostHog client.
-///
-/// The server API is used to fetch the feature flag specs. The client API is used to capture events in case we
-/// want to report the feature flag usage back to PostHog. The current plan is to use PostHog only as an UI to
-/// configure feature flags so it is very likely that the client API will not be used.

-// Page service, presented by pageservers for computes.

-// - authorization: JWT token ("Bearer <token>"), if auth is enabled
-// - neon-tenant-id: tenant ID ("7c4a1f9e3bd6470c8f3e21a65bd2e980")
