Summary: When MultiGet() determines that multiple query keys can be served by examining the same data block in block cache (one Lookup()), each PinnableSlice referring to data in that data block needs to hold on to the block in cache so that they can be released at arbitrary times by the API user. Historically this is accomplished with extra calls to Ref() on the Handle from Lookup(), with each PinnableSlice cleanup calling Release() on the Handle, but this creates extra contention on the block cache for the extra Ref()s and Release()es, especially because they hit the same cache shard repeatedly. In the case of merge operands (possibly more cases?), the problem was compounded by doing an extra Ref()+eventual Release() for each merge operand for a key reusing a block (which could be the same key!), rather than one Ref() per key. (Note: the non-shared case with `biter` was already one per key.) This change optimizes MultiGet not to rely on these extra, contentious Ref()+Release() calls by instead, in the shared block case, wrapping the cache Release() cleanup in a refcounted object referenced by the PinnableSlices, such that after the last wrapped reference is released, the cache entry is Release()ed. Relaxed atomic refcounts should be much faster than mutex-guarded Ref() and Release(), and much less prone to a performance cliff when MultiGet() does a lot of block sharing. Note that I did not use std::shared_ptr, because that would require an extra indirection object (shared_ptr itself new/delete) in order to associate a ref increment/decrement with a Cleanable cleanup entry. (If I assumed it was the size of two pointers, I could do some hackery to make it work without the extra indirection, but that's too fragile.) Some details: * Fixed (removed) extra block cache tracing entries in cases of cache entry reuse in MultiGet, but it's likely that in some other cases traces are missing (XXX comment inserted) * Moved existing implementations for cleanable.h from iterator.cc to new cleanable.cc * Improved API comments on Cleanable * Added a public SharedCleanablePtr class to cleanable.h in case others could benefit from the same pattern (potentially many Cleanables and/or smart pointers referencing a shared Cleanable) * Add a typedef for MultiGetContext::Mask * Some variable renaming for clarity Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/9899 Test Plan: Added unit tests for SharedCleanablePtr. Greatly enhanced ability of existing tests to detect cache use-after-free. * Release PinnableSlices from MultiGet as they are read rather than in bulk (in db_test_util wrapper). * In ASAN build, default to using a trivially small LRUCache for block_cache so that entries are immediately erased when unreferenced. (Updated two tests that depend on caching.) New ASAN testsuite running time seems OK to me. If I introduce a bug into my implementation where we skip the shared cleanups on block reuse, ASAN detects the bug in `db_basic_test *MultiGet*`. If I remove either of the above testing enhancements, the bug is not detected. Consider for follow-up work: manipulate or randomize ordering of PinnableSlice use and release from MultiGet db_test_util wrapper. But in typical cases, natural ordering gives pretty good functional coverage. Performance test: In the extreme (but possible) case of MultiGetting the same or adjacent keys in a batch, throughput can improve by an order of magnitude. `./db_bench -benchmarks=multireadrandom -db=/dev/shm/testdb -readonly -num=5 -duration=10 -threads=20 -multiread_batched -batch_size=200` Before ops/sec, num=5: 1,384,394 Before ops/sec, num=500: 6,423,720 After ops/sec, num=500: 10,658,794 After ops/sec, num=5: 16,027,257 Also note that previously, with high parallelism, having query keys concentrated in a single block was worse than spreading them out a bit. Now concentrated in a single block is faster than spread out, which is hopefully consistent with natural expectation. Random query performance: with num=1000000, over 999 x 10s runs running before & after simultaneously (each -threads=12): Before: multireadrandom [AVG 999 runs] : 1088699 (± 7344) ops/sec; 120.4 (± 0.8 ) MB/sec After: multireadrandom [AVG 999 runs] : 1090402 (± 7230) ops/sec; 120.6 (± 0.8 ) MB/sec Possibly better, possibly in the noise.

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