なぜxlogチェックポイントが開始されたのですか？

次の構成を検討してください

_shared_buffers = 20GB
max_wal_size = 2GB
min_wal_size = 1GB

checkpoint_completion_target = 0.7
checkpoint_timeout = 5min
_

およびチェックポイントのログ

なぜ16:41にxlogチェックポイントが開始されたのですか？前のチェックポイントからの距離は758070 KBで、max_wal_sizeよりもはるかに小さいです。

[〜＃〜] ps [〜＃〜]

Max_wal_sizeは複数のチェックポイントにまたがっており、値max_wal_size / (2 + checkpoint_completion_target )を超えるとxlogチェックポイントが開始されるようです。私は正しいですか？

PG10ソースコードを詳しく調べる https://github.com/postgres/postgres/blob/REL_10_STABLE/src/backend/access/transam/xlog.c#L2224 、ヒントを@piforに感謝

/*
 * Calculate CheckPointSegments based on max_wal_size_mb and
 * checkpoint_completion_target.
 */
static void
CalculateCheckpointSegments(void)
{
    double      target;

    /*-------
     * Calculate the distance at which to trigger a checkpoint, to avoid
     * exceeding max_wal_size_mb. This is based on two assumptions:
     *
     * a) we keep WAL for two checkpoint cycles, back to the "prev" checkpoint.
     * b) during checkpoint, we consume checkpoint_completion_target *
     *    number of segments consumed between checkpoints.

     */
    target = (double) ConvertToXSegs(max_wal_size_mb) / (2.0 + CheckPointCompletionTarget);

    /* round down */
    CheckPointSegments = (int) target;

    if (CheckPointSegments < 1)
        CheckPointSegments = 1;
}

したがって、max_wal_sizeは3つのチェックポイントに分割されます。2つはprevで、現在のチェックポイントはcheckpoint_completion_targetを念頭に置いています。

PostgreSQL 10のソースコードによると、これはCHECKPOINT_CAUSE_XLOG：

xlog.c in関数XLogWrite：

          * Request a checkpoint if we've consumed too much xlog since
          * the last one.  For speed, we first check using the local
          * copy of RedoRecPtr, which might be out of date; if it looks
          * like a checkpoint is needed, forcibly update RedoRecPtr and
          * recheck.
           if (IsUnderPostmaster && XLogCheckpointNeeded(openLogSegNo))
                 {
                     (void) GetRedoRecPtr();
                     if (XLogCheckpointNeeded(openLogSegNo))
                         RequestCheckpoint(CHECKPOINT_CAUSE_XLOG);
                 }

と：

/*
  * Check whether we've consumed enough xlog space that a checkpoint is needed.
  *
  * new_segno indicates a log file that has just been filled up (or read
  * during recovery). We measure the distance from RedoRecPtr to new_segno
  * and see if that exceeds CheckPointSegments.
  *
  * Note: it is caller's responsibility that RedoRecPtr is up-to-date.
  */
 static bool
 XLogCheckpointNeeded(XLogSegNo new_segno)
 {
     XLogSegNo   old_segno;

     XLByteToSeg(RedoRecPtr, old_segno, wal_segment_size);

     if (new_segno >= old_segno + (uint64) (CheckPointSegments - 1))
         return true;
     return false;
 }

そして：

 /*
  * Calculate CheckPointSegments based on max_wal_size_mb and
  * checkpoint_completion_target.
  */
 static void
 CalculateCheckpointSegments(void)
 {
     double      target;
