Giuseppe Ottaviano 3ebe8658d0 Fix race in WriteBufferManager (#9009)
Summary:
EndWriteStall has a data race: `queue_.empty()` is checked outside of the
mutex, so once we enter the critical section another thread may already have
cleared the list, and accessing the `front()` is undefined behavior (and causes
interesting crashes under high concurrency).

This PR fixes the bug, and also rewrites the logic to make it easier to reason
about it. It also fixes another subtle bug: if some writers are stalled and
`SetBufferSize(0)` is called, which disables the WBM, the writer are not
unblocked because of an early `enabled()` check in `EndWriteStall()`.

It doesn't significantly change the locking behavior, as before writers won't
lock unless entering a stall condition, and `FreeMem` almost always locks if
stalling is allowed, but that is inevitable with the current design. Liveness is
guaranteed by the fact that if some writes are blocked, eventually all writes
will be blocked due to `stall_active_`, and eventually all memory is freed.

While at it, do a couple of optimizations:

- In `WBMStallInterface::Signal()` signal the CV only after releasing the
  lock. Signaling under the lock is a common pitfall, as it causes the woken-up
  thread to immediately go back to sleep because the mutex is still locked by
  the awaker.

- Move all allocations and deallocations outside of the lock.

RocksDB: A Persistent Key-Value Store for Flash and RAM Storage

CircleCI Status TravisCI Status Appveyor Build status PPC64le Build Status

RocksDB is developed and maintained by Facebook Database Engineering Team. It is built on earlier work on LevelDB by Sanjay Ghemawat (sanjay@google.com) and Jeff Dean (jeff@google.com)

This code is a library that forms the core building block for a fast key-value server, especially suited for storing data on flash drives. It has a Log-Structured-Merge-Database (LSM) design with flexible tradeoffs between Write-Amplification-Factor (WAF), Read-Amplification-Factor (RAF) and Space-Amplification-Factor (SAF). It has multi-threaded compactions, making it especially suitable for storing multiple terabytes of data in a single database.

Start with example usage here: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/tree/main/examples

See the github wiki for more explanation.

The public interface is in include/. Callers should not include or rely on the details of any other header files in this package. Those internal APIs may be changed without warning.

Design discussions are conducted in https://www.facebook.com/groups/rocksdb.dev/ and https://rocksdb.slack.com/
