Ok. I still think that changing maxTapes would make sense, when there
are fewer runs than tapes, but that is actually orthogonal to the rest
of the patch, so let's discuss that separately. I've changed the patch
to not do that.
* Everything or almost everything that you've added to mergeruns()
should probably be in its own dedicated function. This function can
have a comment where you acknowledge that it's not perfectly okay that
you claim memory per-tape, but it's simpler and faster overall.
Ok.
* I think you should be looking at the number of active tapes, and not
state->Level or state->currentRun in this new function. Actually,
maybe this wouldn't be the exact definition of an active tape that we
establish at the beginning of beginmerge() (this considers tapes with
dummy runs to be inactive for that merge), but it would look similar.
The general concern I have here is that you shouldn't rely on
state->Level or state->currentRun from a distance for the purposes of
determining which tapes need some batch memory. This is also where you
might say something like: "we don't bother with shifting memory around
tapes for each merge step, even though that would be fairer. That's
why we don't use the beginmerge() definition of activeTapes --
instead, we use our own broader definition of the number of active
tapes that doesn't exclude dummy-run-tapes with real runs, making the
allocation reasonably sensible for every merge pass".
I'm not sure I understood what your concern was, but please have a look
at this new version, if the comments in initTapeBuffers() explain that
well enough.
* The "batchUsed" terminology really isn't working here, AFAICT. For
one thing, you have two separate areas where caller tuples might
reside: The small per-tape buffers (sized MERGETUPLEBUFFER_SIZE per
tape), and the logtape.c controlled preread buffers (sized up to
MaxAllocSize per tape). Which of these two things is batch memory? I
think it might just be the first one, but KiBs of memory do not
suggest "batch" to me. Isn't that really more like what you might call
double buffer memory, used not to save overhead from palloc (having
many palloc headers in memory), but rather to recycle memory
efficiently? So, these two things should have two new names of their
own, I think, and neither should be called "batch memory" IMV. I see
several assertions remain here and there that were written with my
original definition of batch memory in mind -- assertions like:
Ok. I replaced "batch" terminology with "slab allocator" and "slab
slots", I hope this is less confusing. This isn't exactly like e.g. the
slab allocator in the Linux kernel, as it has a fixed number of slots,
so perhaps an "object pool" might be more accurate. But I like "slab"
because it's not used elsewhere in the system. I also didn't use the
term "cache" for the "slots", as might be typical for slab allocators,
because "cache" is such an overloaded term.
case TSS_SORTEDONTAPE:
Assert(forward || state->randomAccess);
Assert(!state->batchUsed);
(Isn't state->batchUsed always true now?)
Good catch. It wasn't, because mergeruns() set batchUsed only after
checking for the TSS_SORTEDONTAPE case, even though it set up the batch
memory arena before it. So if replacement selection was able to produce
a single run batchUsed was false. Fixed, the slab allocator (as it's now
called) is now always used in TSS_SORTEDONTAPE case.
And:
case TSS_FINALMERGE:
Assert(forward);
Assert(state->batchUsed || !state->tuples);
(Isn't state->tuples only really of interest to datum-tuple-case
routines, now that you've made everything use large logtape.c preread
buffers?)
Yeah, fixed.
* Is is really necessary for !state->tuples cases to do that
MERGETUPLEBUFFER_SIZE-based allocation? In other words, what need is
there for pass-by-value datum cases to have this scratch/double buffer
memory at all, since the value is returned to caller by-value, not
by-reference? This is related to the problem of it not being entirely
clear what batch memory now is, I think.
True, fixed. I still set slabAllocatorUsed (was batchUsed), but it's
initialized as a dummy 0-slot arena when !state->tuples.
Here's a new patch version, addressing the points you made. Please have
a look!

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Change the way pre-reading in external sort's merge phase
works.
Don't pre-read tuples into SortTuple slots during merge. Instead, use the
memory for larger read buffers in logtape.c. We're doing the same number
of READTUP() calls either way, but managing the pre-read SortTuple slots
is much more complicated. Also, the on-tape representation is more compact
than SortTuples, so we can fit more pre-read tuples into the same amount
of memory this way. And we have better cache-locality, when we use just a
small number of SortTuple slots.
Now that we only hold one tuple from each tape in the SortTuple slots, we
can greatly simplify the "batch memory" management. We now maintain a
small set of fixed-sized slots, to hold the tuples, and fall back to
palloc() for larger tuples. We use this method during all merge phases,
not just the final merge, and also when randomAccess is requested, and
also in the TSS_SORTEDONTAPE. In other words, it's used whenever we do
an external sort.
