23 * NOTES
25 * The visibility map is a bitmap with two bits (all-visible and all-frozen)
26 * per heap page. A set all-visible bit means that all tuples on the page are
27 * known visible to all transactions, and therefore the page doesn't need to
28 * be vacuumed. A set all-frozen bit means that all tuples on the page are
29 * completely frozen, and therefore the page doesn't need to be vacuumed even
30 * if whole table scanning vacuum is required (e.g. anti-wraparound vacuum).
31 * The all-frozen bit must be set only when the page is already all-visible.
33 * The map is conservative in the sense that we make sure that whenever a bit
34 * is set, we know the condition is true, but if a bit is not set, it might or
35 * might not be true.
37 * Clearing visibility map bits is not separately WAL-logged. The callers
38 * must make sure that whenever a bit is cleared, the bit is cleared on WAL
39 * replay of the updating operation as well.
41 * When we *set* a visibility map during VACUUM, we must write WAL. This may
42 * seem counterintuitive, since the bit is basically a hint: if it is clear,
43 * it may still be the case that every tuple on the page is visible to all
44 * transactions; we just don't know that for certain. The difficulty is that
45 * there are two bits which are typically set together: the PD_ALL_VISIBLE bit
46 * on the page itself, and the visibility map bit. If a crash occurs after the
47 * visibility map page makes it to disk and before the updated heap page makes
48 * it to disk, redo must set the bit on the heap page. Otherwise, the next
49 * insert, update, or delete on the heap page will fail to realize that the
50 * visibility map bit must be cleared, possibly causing index-only scans to
51 * return wrong answers.
53 * VACUUM will normally skip pages for which the visibility map bit is set;
54 * such pages can't contain any dead tuples and therefore don't need vacuuming.
56 * LOCKING
58 * In heapam.c, whenever a page is modified so that not all tuples on the
59 * page are visible to everyone anymore, the corresponding bit in the
60 * visibility map is cleared. In order to be crash-safe, we need to do this
61 * while still holding a lock on the heap page and in the same critical
62 * section that logs the page modification. However, we don't want to hold
63 * the buffer lock over any I/O that may be required to read in the visibility
64 * map page. To avoid this, we examine the heap page before locking it;
65 * if the page-level PD_ALL_VISIBLE bit is set, we pin the visibility map
66 * bit. Then, we lock the buffer. But this creates a race condition: there
67 * is a possibility that in the time it takes to lock the buffer, the
68 * PD_ALL_VISIBLE bit gets set. If that happens, we have to unlock the
69 * buffer, pin the visibility map page, and relock the buffer. This shouldn't
70 * happen often, because only VACUUM currently sets visibility map bits,
71 * and the race will only occur if VACUUM processes a given page at almost
72 * exactly the same time that someone tries to further modify it.
74 * To set a bit, you need to hold a lock on the heap page. That prevents
75 * the race condition where VACUUM sees that all tuples on the page are
76 * visible to everyone, but another backend modifies the page before VACUUM
77 * sets the bit in the visibility map.
79 * When a bit is set, the LSN of the visibility map page is updated to make
80 * sure that the visibility map update doesn't get written to disk before the
81 * WAL record of the changes that made it possible to set the bit is flushed.
82 * But when a bit is cleared, we don't have to do that because it's always
83 * safe to clear a bit in the map from correctness point of view.
