    Fujii Masao <masao.fujii@oss.nttdata.com> — 2020-02-12T17:29:20Z

    Hi,

When I saw pg_stat_activity.wait_event while pg_basebackup -X none
is waiting for WAL archiving to finish, it was either NULL or
CheckpointDone. I think this is confusing. What about introducing
new wait_event like WAIT_EVENT_BACKUP_WAIT_WAL_ARCHIVE
(BackupWaitWalArchive) and reporting it during that period?

Sounds like a good idea to me.  You need to be careful that this does
not overwrite more low-level wait event registration though, so that
could be more tricky than it looks at first sight.

Thanks for the advise! Patch attached.

I found that the wait events "LogicalRewriteTruncate" and
"GSSOpenServer" are not documented. I'm thinking to add
them into doc separately if ok.

Nice catch.  The ordering of the entries is not respected either for
GSSOpenServer in pgstat.h.  The portion for the code and the docs can
be fixed in back-branches, but not the enum list in WaitEventClient or
we would have an ABI breakage.  But this can be fixed on HEAD.  Can
you take care of it?  If you need help, please feel free to poke me. I
think that this should be fixed first, before adding the new event.

The category IPC is adapted.  You forgot to update the markup morerows
from "36" to "37", causing the table of the wait events to have a
weird format (the bottom should be incorrect).

It would be good to keep entries in alphabetical order in the header,
the code and in the docs (see the effort from 5ef037c), and your patch
is missing that concept for all three places where it matters for this
new event.

Yes. Patch attached.

logical_rewrite_truncate_v1.patch adds the description of
LogicalRewriteTruncate into the doc. This needs to be
back-patched to v10 where commit 249cf070e3 introduced
LogicalRewriteTruncate event.

gss_open_server_v1.patch adds the description of GSSOpenServer
into the doc and update the code in pgstat_get_wait_client().
This needs to be applied in v12 where commit b0b39f72b9 introduced
GSSOpenServer event.

gss_open_server_for_master_v1.patch does not only what the above
patch does but also update wait event enum into alphabetical order.
This needs to be applied in the master.

Indeed.  You just be careful about the number of fields for morerows,
as that's not the same across branches.

I think it would be safer to just report the wait event during
pg_usleep(1000000L) rather than putting those calls around the whole
loop. It does not seem impossible that ereport() or
CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() could do something that reports a wait event
internally.

Thanks for the review! Pushed the patches for

CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() would reset the event wait state.  Hm..  You
may be right about the WARNING and it would be better to not rely on
that.  Do you remember the states which may be triggered?

> OK, so I attached the updated version of the patch.

Actually, I have some questions:
1) Should a new wait event be added in recoveryPausesHere()?  That
would be IMO useful.
2) Perhaps those two points should be replaced with WaitLatch(), where
we would use the new wait events introduced?

Yes, it's useful, I think. But it's better to implement that
as a separate patch.

For what? Maybe it should, but I'm not sure it's worth the trouble.

No problem for me.

I don't have more to offer than signal handling consistency for both
without relying on pg_usleep()'s behavior depending on the platform,
and power consumption.  For the recovery pause, the second argument
may not be worth carrying, but we never had this argument for the
archiving wait, did we?  For both, on top of it you don't need to
worry about concurrent issues with the wait events attached around.

On second thought, it's OK to add that event into the patch.
Attached is the updated version of the patch. This patch adds
two wait events for WAL archiving and recovery pause.

I have no idea about this. But I wonder how much that change
is helpful to reduce the power consumption because waiting
for WAL archive during the backup basically not so frequently
happens.
