+my feedback as I've noticed that Bertrand already provided a review.
Right, the code is now simple , and that Max() is brilliant. I've
attached some review findings as .txt
0001 100%LGTM
0002 doc fix + pgident + Tomas, you should take Authored-by yourself
there for sure, I couldn't pull this off alone in time! So big thanks!
0003 fixes elog UINT64_FORMAT for ming32 (a little bit funny to have
NUMA on ming32...:))
When started with interleave=all on serious hardware, I'm getting (~5s
for s_b=64GB) from pg_buffercache_numa
node_id | count
---------+---------
3 | 2097152
0 | 2097152
2 | 2097152
1 | 2097152
so this is valid result (2097152*4 numa nodes*8192 buffer
size/1024/1024/1024 = 64GB)
Also with pgbench -i -s 20 , after ~8s:
select c.relname, n.node_id, count(*) from pg_buffercache_numa n
join pg_buffercache b on (b.bufferid = n.bufferid)
join pg_class c on (c.relfilenode = b.relfilenode)
group by c.relname, n.node_id order by count(*) desc;
relname | node_id | count
-----------------------------------------------+---------+-------
pgbench_accounts | 2 | 8217
pgbench_accounts | 0 | 8190
pgbench_accounts | 3 | 8189
pgbench_accounts | 1 | 8187
pg_statistic | 2 | 32
pg_operator | 2 | 14
pg_depend | 3 | 14
[..]
pg_shm_allocations_numa also looks good.
I think v24+tiny fixes is good enough to go in.
