Optionally enables O_DSYNC mode for segment files, and when
enabled ignores actual flushing and just barriers any ongoing
writes.
Iff using O_DSYNC mode, we will not only truncate the file
to max size, but also do an actual initial write of zero:s
to it, since XFS (intended target) has observably less good
behaviour on non-physical file blocks. Once written (and maybe
recycled) we should have rather satisfying throughput on writes.
Note that the O_DSYNC behaviour is hidden behind a default
disabled option. While user should probably seldom worry about
this, we should add some sort of logic i main/init that unless
specified by user, evaluates the commitlog disk and sets this
to true if it is using XFS and looks ok. This is because using
O_DSYNC on things like EXT4 etc has quite horrible performance.
All above statements about performance and O_DSYNC behaviour
are based on a sampling of benchmark results (modified fsqual)
on a statistically non-ssignificant selection of disks. However,
at least there the observed behaviour is a rather large
difference between ::fallocate:ed disk area vs. actually written
using O_DSYNC on XFS, and O_DSYNC on EXT4.
Note also that measurements on O_DSYNC vs. no O_DSYNC does not
take into account the wall-clock time of doing manual disk flush.
This is intentionally ignored, since in the commitlog case, at
least using periodic mode, flushes are relatively rare.

* tag 'improve-commitlog-logs/v1' of https://github.com/pdziepak/scylla:
commitlog: use consistent chunk offsets in logs
commitlog: provide more information in logs
commitlog: remove unnecessary comment
Logs in commitlog writer use offset in the file of the chunk header to
identify chunks. However, the replayer is using offset after the header
for the same purpose. This causes unnecessary confusion suggesting that
the replayer is reading at the wrong position.
This patch changes the replayer so that it reports chunk header offsets.
This commits adds some more information to the logs. Motivated, by
experiences with investigating #4231.
* size of each write
* position of each write
* log message for final write
Commitlog files contain multiple chunks. Each chunk starts as a single
(possibly, fragmented buffer). The size of that buffer in memory may be
larger than the size in the file.
cycle() was incorrectly using the in-memory size to write the whole
buffer to the file. That sometimes caused data corruption, since a
smaller on-file size was used to compute the offset of the next chunk
and there could be multiple chunk writes happening at the same time.
This patch solves the issue by ensuring that only the actual on-file
size of the chunk is written.

Changes commitlog descriptor to both accept "Recycled-Commitlog..."
file names, and preserve said name in the descriptor.
This ensures we pick up the not-yet-used recycled segments left

as needed.

Refs #3929
When deleting a segment, IFF we have not yet filled up all reserves,
instead of actually deleting the file, put it on a "recycle" list.
Next segment allocation will instead of creating a new one simply
rename the segment and reuse the file and its allocated space.
We rename the file twice: Once on adding to recycle list, with special
prefix so we don't mix up actual replayable segments and these. Second
when we actually re-use the file (also to ensure consecutive names).
Note that we limit the amount of recyclables, so a really stressed
application which somehow fills up the replenish queue might
cause us to still drop the segments. Could skip this but risk
getting to many files on disk.
Replay should be safe, since all entries are guarded by CRC based
on the file ID (i.e. file name). Thus replaying a recycled segment
will simply cause a CRC error in the main header and be ignored (see
previous patch).
Segments that are fully synced will have terminating zero-header (see
previous patch) so we know when to stop processing a recycled file.
If a file is the result of a mid-write crash, we will generate a CRC
processing error as "normally" in this case, when hitting partially
written block or coming to an old/new chunk boundary.
v2:
* Sync dir on rename
* auto -> const sstring&
* Allow recycling files as long as we're within disk space limits
v3:
* Use special names for files waiting for reuse
Writes a final chunk header of zero to the file on close, to mark
end-of-segment.
This allows us to gracefully stop replay processing of a segment file
even if it was not zeroed from the beginning (maybe recycled - hint
hint).
When reading the header chunk of a commitlog file, check the stored id
value against the id derived from the file name, and ignore if
mismatched. This is a prerequisite for re-using renamed commitlog files,
as we can then fail-fast should one such be left on disk, instead of
trying to replay it.
We also check said id via the CRC check for each chunk parsed. If we
find a chunk with
mismatched id, we will get a CRC error for the chunk, and replay will
terminate (albeit not gracefully).

So far commitlog was using contiguous buffers for storing the data that
is about to be written to disk. It was able to coalesce small writes so
that multiple small mutations would use the same buffer, but if a
muation was large the commitlog would attempt to allocate a single,
appropriately large buffer. This excessively stresses the memory
allocator and may cause memory fragmentation to become an issue. The
solution is to use fixed-size buffers of 128 kB, which is the standard
buffer size in Scylla and keep large values fragmented.
Buffer pools were added in 7191a130bb
"Commitlog: recycle buffers to reduce fragmentation." They introduce a
lot of complexity and will become unnecessary once the code is switched
to use fixed-size 128kB buffers.
If a node cannot allocate a 128 kB it is already in a very bad shape, so
there isn't much value in trying to recover by attempting smaller
allocations and it just adds more complexity to the segment allocation.
It actually may be better to let some requests fail and give the node a
chance to recover rather than trying to use every last byte of free
memory and end up with bad_alloc in a noexcept context.

Push segement files to be deleted to a pending list, and process at
intervals or flush-requests (or shutdown). Note that we do _not_
indescrimenately do deletes in non-anchored tasks, because we need
to guarantee that finshed segments are fully deleted and gone on CL
shutdown, not to be mistaken for replayables.
Also make sure we delete segments replayed via commitlog call,
so IFF we add metadata processing for CL, we can clear it out.
Operations on a segment's underlying append_challenged_posix_file_impl,
such as truncate(), schedule asynchronous operations when they are
executed, which capture the file object. To synchronize with them and
prevent use-after-free, we need to call close() and only delete the
segment and file when the returned future resolves.

At the moment, various different subsystems use their different
ideas of what a timeout_clock is. This makes it a bit harder to pass
timeouts between them because although most are actually a lowres_clock,
that is not guaranteed to be the case. As a matter of fact, the timeout
for restricted reads is expressed as nanoseconds, which is not a valid
duration in the lowres_clock.
As a first step towards fixing this, we'll consolidate all of the
existing timeout_clocks in one, now called db::timeout_clock. Other
things that tend to be expressed in terms of that clock--like the fact
that the maximum time_point means no timeout and a semaphore that
wait()s with that resolution are also moved to the common header.
In the upcoming patch we will fix the restricted reader timeouts to
be expressed in terms of the new timeout_clock.

So that they are not left on disk even though we did a clean shutdown.
First part of the fix is to ensure that closed segments are recognized
as not allocating (_closed flag). Not doing this prevents them from
being collected by discard_unused_segments(). Second part is to
actually call discard_unused_segments() on shutdown after all segments
were shut down, so that those whose position are cleared can be
removed.

Use per CF-id reference count instead, and use handles as result of
add operations. These must either be explicitly released or stored
(rp_set), or they will release the corresponding replay_position
upon destruction.
Note: this does _not_ remove the replay positioning ordering requirement
for mutations. It just removes it as a means to track segment liveness.
- introcduced "seastarx.hh" header, which does a "using namespace seastar";
- 'net' namespace conflicts with seastar::net, renamed to 'netw'.
- 'transport' namespace conflicts with seastar::transport, renamed to
cql_transport.
- "logger" global variables now conflict with logger global type, renamed
to xlogger.
- other minor changes
The previous fix removed the additional insertion of "min rp" per source
shard based on whether we had processed existing CF:s or not (i.e. if
a CF does not exist as sstable at all, we must tag it as zero-rp, and
make whole shard for it start at same zero.
This is bad in itself, because it can cause data loss. It does not cause
crashing however. But it did uncover another, old old lingering bug,
namely the commitlog reader initiating its stream wrongly when reading
from an actual offset (i.e. not processing the whole file).
We opened the file stream from the file offset, then tried
to read the file header and magic number from there -> boom, error.
Also, rp-to-file mapping was potentially suboptimal due to using
bucket iterator instead of actual range.
I.e. three fixes:
* Reinstate min position guarding for unencoutered CF:s
* Fix stream creating in CL reader
* Fix segment map iterator use.

On database stop, we do flush memtables and clean up commit log segment usage.
However, since we never actually destroy the distributed<database>, we
don't actually free the commitlog either, and thus never clear out

on disk.
This just adds a "release" method to commitlog, and calls it from
database::stop, after flushing CF:s.

The semaphore future may be unavailable for many reasons. Specifically,
if the task quota is depleted right between sem.wait() and the .then()
clause in get_units() the resulting future won't be available.
That is particularly visible if we decrease the task quota, since those
events will be more frequent: we can in those cases clearly see this
counter going up, even though there aren't more requests pending than
usual.
This patch improves the situation by replacing that check. We now verify
whether or not there are waiters in the semaphore.

The problem is that replay will unlink any segments which were on disk
at the time the replay starts. However, some of those segments may
have been created by current node since the boot. If a segment is part
of reserve for example, it will be unlinked by replay, but we will
still use that segment to log mutations. Those mutations will not be
visible to replay after a crash though.
The fix is to record preexisting segents before any new segments will
have a chance to be created and use that as the replay list.
