## 聊聊 mysql 的 MVCC 续续篇之锁分析

发表于 2020-05-10 分类于 Mysql ， C ， 数据结构 ， 源码 ， Mysql 阅读次数： Disqus：

看完前面两篇水文之后，感觉不得不来分析下 mysql 的锁了，其实前面说到幻读的时候是有个前提没提到的，比如一个`select * from table1 where id = 1`这种查询语句其实是不会加传说中的锁的，当然这里是指在 RR 或者 RC 隔离级别下，
看一段 mysql官方文档

> `SELECT ... FROM` is a consistent read, reading a snapshot of the database and setting no locks unless the transaction isolation level is set to SERIALIZABLE. For SERIALIZABLE level, the search sets shared next-key locks on the index records it encounters. However, only an index record lock is required for statements that lock rows using a unique index to search for a unique row.

纯粹的这种一致性读，实际读取的是快照，也就是基于 read view 的读取方式，除非当前隔离级别是SERIALIZABLE
但是对于以下几类

- `select * from table where ? lock in share mode;`
- `select * from table where ? for update;`
- `insert into table values (...);`
- `update table set ? where ?;`
- `delete from table where ?;`

除了第一条是 S 锁之外，其他都是 X 排他锁，这边在顺带下，S 锁表示共享锁， X 表示独占锁，同为 S 锁之间不冲突，S 与 X，X 与 S，X 与 X 之间都冲突，也就是加了前者，后者就加不上了
我们知道对于 RC 级别会出现幻读现象，对于 RR 级别不会出现，主要的区别是 RR 级别下对于以上的加锁读取都根据情况加上了 gap 锁，那么是不是 RR 级别下以上所有的都是要加 gap 锁呢，当然不是
举个例子，RR 事务隔离级别下，table1 有个主键id 字段
`select * from table1 where id = 10 for update`
这条语句要加 gap 锁吗？
答案是不需要，这里其实算是我看了这么久的一点自己的理解，啥时候要加 gap 锁，判断的条件是根据我查询的数据是否会因为不加 gap 锁而出现数量的不一致，我上面这条查询语句，在什么情况下会出现查询结果数量不一致呢，只要在这条记录被更新或者删除的时候，有没有可能我第一次查出来一条，第二次变成两条了呢，不可能，因为是主键索引。
再变更下这个题的条件，当 id 不是主键，但是是唯一索引，这样需要怎么加锁，注意问题是怎么加锁，不是需不需要加 gap 锁，这里呢就是稍微延伸一下，把聚簇索引（主键索引）和二级索引带一下，当 id 不是主键，说明是个二级索引，但是它是唯一索引，体会下，首先对于 id = 10这个二级索引肯定要加锁，要不要锁 gap 呢，不用，因为是唯一索引，id = 10 只可能有这一条记录，然后呢，这样是不是就好了，还不行，因为啥，因为它是二级索引，对应的主键索引的记录才是真正的数据，万一被更新掉了咋办，所以在 id = 10 对应的主键索引上也需要加上锁（默认都是 record lock行锁），那主键索引上要不要加 gap 呢，也不用，也是精确定位到这一条记录
最后呢，当 id 不是主键，也不是唯一索引，只是个普通的索引，这里就需要大名鼎鼎的 gap 锁了，
是时候画个图了
其实核心的目的还是不让这个 id=10 的记录不会出现幻读，那么就需要在 id 这个索引上加上三个 gap 锁，主键索引上就不用了，在 id 索引上已经控制住了id = 10 不会出现幻读，主键索引上这两条对应的记录已经锁了，所以就这样 OK 了

## 聊聊 mysql 的 MVCC 续篇

上一篇聊了mysql 的 innodb 引擎基于 read view 实现的 mvcc 和事务隔离级别，可能有些细心的小伙伴会发现一些问题，第一个是在 RC 级别下的事务提交后的可见性，这里涉及到了三个参数，m_low_limit_id，m_up_limit_id，m_ids，之前看到知乎的一篇写的非常不错的文章，但是就在这一点上似乎有点疑惑，这里基于源码和注释来解释下这个问题

    /**
    Opens a read view where exactly the transactions serialized before this
    point in time are seen in the view.
    @param id		Creator transaction id */

    void ReadView::prepare(trx_id_t id) {
      ut_ad(mutex_own(&trx_sys->mutex));

      m_creator_trx_id = id;

      m_low_limit_no = m_low_limit_id = m_up_limit_id = trx_sys->max_trx_id;

m_low_limit_id赋的值是trx_sys->max_trx_id，代表的是当前系统最小的未分配的事务 id，所以呢，举个例子，当前有三个活跃事务，事务 id 分别是 100，200，300，而 m_up_limit_id = 100, m_low_limit_id = 301，当事务 id 是 200 的提交之后，它的更新就是可以被 100 和 300 看到，而不是说 m_ids 里没了 200，并且 200 比 100 大就应该不可见了

## 幻读

还有一个问题是幻读的问题，这貌似也是个高频面试题，啥意思呢，或者说跟它最常拿来比较的脏读，脏读是指读到了别的事务未提交的数据，因为未提交，严格意义上来讲，不一定是会被最后落到库里，可能会回滚，也就是在 read uncommitted 级别下会出现的问题，但是幻读不太一样，幻读是指两次查询的结果数量不一样，比如我查了第一次是 `select * from table1 where id < 10 for update`,查出来了一条结果 id 是 5，然后再查一下发现出来了一条 id 是 5，一条 id 是 7，那是不是有点尴尬了，其实呢这个点我觉得脏读跟幻读也比较是从原理层面来命名，如果第一次接触的同学发觉有点不理解也比较正常，因为从逻辑上讲总之都是数据不符合预期，但是基于源码层面其实是不同的情况，幻读是在原先的 read view 无法完全解决的，怎么解决呢，简单的来说就是锁咯，我们知道innodb 是基于 record lock 行锁的，但是貌似没有办法解决这种问题，那么 innodb 就引入了 gap lock 间隙锁，比如上面说的情况下，id 小于 10 的情况下，是都应该锁住的，gap lock 其实是基于索引结构来锁的，因为索引树除了树形结构之外，还有一个next record 的指针，gap lock 也是基于这个来锁的
看一下 mysql 的文档

> SELECT … FOR UPDATE sets an exclusive next-key lock on every record the search encounters. However, only an index record lock is required for statements that lock rows using a unique index to search for a unique row.

对于一个 for update 查询，在 RR 级别下，会设置一个 next-key lock在每一条被查询到的记录上，next-lock 又是啥呢，其实就是 gap 锁和 record 锁的结合体，比如我在数据库里有 id 是 1，3，5，7，10，对于上面那条查询，查出来的结果就是 1，3，5，7，那么按照文档里描述的，对于这几条记录都会加上next-key lock，也就是(-∞, 1], (1, 3], (3, 5], (5, 7], (7, 10) 这些区间和记录会被锁起来，不让插入，再唠叨一下呢，就是其实如果是只读的事务，光 read view 一致性读就够了，如果是有写操作的呢，就需要锁了。

很久以前，有位面试官问到，你知道 mysql 的事务隔离级别吗，“额 O__O …，不太清楚”，完了之后我就去网上找相关的文章，找到了这篇MySQL 四种事务隔离级的说明, 文章写得特别好，看了这个就懂了各个事务隔离级别都是啥，不过看了这个之后多思考一下的话还是会发现问题，这么神奇的事务隔离级别是怎么实现的呢

其中 innodb 的事务隔离用到了标题里说到的 mvcc，Multiversion concurrency control, 直译过来就是多版本并发控制，先不讲这个究竟是个啥，考虑下如果纯猜测，这个事务隔离级别应该会是怎么样实现呢，愚钝的我想了下，可以在事务开始的时候拷贝一个表，这个可以支持 RR 级别，RC 级别就不支持了，而且要是个非常大的表，想想就不可行

腆着脸说虽然这个不可行，但是思路是对的，具体实行起来需要做一系列（肥肠多）的改动，首先根据我的理解，其实这个拷贝一个表是变成拷贝一条记录，但是如果有多个事务，那就得拷贝多次，这个问题其实可以借助版本管理系统来解释，在用版本管理系统，git 之类的之前，很原始的可能是开发完一个功能后，就打个压缩包用时间等信息命名，然后如果后面要找回这个就直接用这个压缩包的就行了，后来有了 svn，git 中心式和分布式的版本管理系统，它的一个特点是粒度可以控制到文件和代码行级别，对应的我们的 mysql 事务是不是也可以从一开始预想的表级别细化到行的级别，可能之前很多人都了解过，数据库的一行记录除了我们用户自定义的字段，还有一些额外的字段，去源码data0type.h里捞一下

    /* Precise data types for system columns and the length of those columns;
    NOTE: the values must run from 0 up in the order given! All codes must
    be less than 256 */
    #define DATA_ROW_ID 0     /* row id: a 48-bit integer */
    #define DATA_ROW_ID_LEN 6 /* stored length for row id */

    /** Transaction id: 6 bytes */
    constexpr size_t DATA_TRX_ID = 1;

    /** Transaction ID type size in bytes. */
    constexpr size_t DATA_TRX_ID_LEN = 6;

    /** Rollback data pointer: 7 bytes */
    constexpr size_t DATA_ROLL_PTR = 2;

    /** Rollback data pointer type size in bytes. */
    constexpr size_t DATA_ROLL_PTR_LEN = 7;

一个是 `DATA_ROW_ID`，这个是在数据没指定主键的时候会生成一个隐藏的，如果用户有指定主键就是主键了

一个是 `DATA_TRX_ID`，这个表示这条记录的事务 ID

还有一个是 `DATA_ROLL_PTR` 指向回滚段的指针

指向的回滚段其实就是我们常说的 undo log，这里面的具体结构就是个链表，在 mvcc 里会使用到这个，还有就是这个 `DATA_TRX_ID`，每条记录都记录了这个事务 ID，表示的是这条记录的当前值是被哪个事务修改的，下面就扯回事务了，我们知道 `Read Uncommitted`， 其实用不到隔离，直接读取当前值就好了，到了 `Read Committed` 级别，我们要让事务读取到提交过的值，mysql 使用了一个叫 `read view` 的玩意，它里面有这些值是我们需要注意的，

`m_low_limit_id`, 这个是 read view 创建时最大的活跃事务 id

`m_up_limit_id`, 这个是 read view 创建时最小的活跃事务 id

`m_ids`, 这个是 read view 创建时所有的活跃事务 id 数组

`m_creator_trx_id 这个是当前记录的创建事务 id`

判断事务的可见性主要的逻辑是这样，

1. 当记录的事务 `id` 小于最小活跃事务 id，说明是可见的，
2. 如果记录的事务 `id` 等于当前事务 id，说明是自己的更改，可见
3. 如果记录的事务 `id` 大于最大的活跃事务 `id`, 不可见
4. 如果记录的事务 `id` 介于 `m_low_limit_id` 和 `m_up_limit_id` 之间，则要判断它是否在 `m_ids` 中，如果在，不可见，如果不在，表示已提交，可见
   具体的代码捞一下看看

       /** Check whether the changes by id are visible.
         @param[in]	id	transaction id to check against the view
         @param[in]	name	table name
         @return whether the view sees the modifications of id. */
         bool changes_visible(trx_id_t id, const table_name_t &name) const
             MY_ATTRIBUTE((warn_unused_result)) {
           ut_ad(id > 0);

           if (id < m_up_limit_id || id == m_creator_trx_id) {
             return (true);
           }

           check_trx_id_sanity(id, name);

           if (id >= m_low_limit_id) {
             return (false);

           } else if (m_ids.empty()) {
             return (true);
           }

           const ids_t::value_type *p = m_ids.data();

           return (!std::binary_search(p, p + m_ids.size(), id));
         }

   剩下来一点是啥呢，就是 `Read Committed` 和 `Repeated Read` 也不一样，那前面说的 `read view` 都能支持吗，又是怎么支持呢，假如这个 `read view` 是在事务一开始就创建，那好像能支持的只是 RR 事务隔离级别，其实呢，这是通过创建 `read view`的时机，对于 RR 级别，就是在事务的第一个 `select` 语句是创建，对于 RC 级别，是在每个 `select` 语句执行前都是创建一次，那样就可以保证能读到所有已提交的数据

## redis系列介绍八-淘汰策略

发表于 2020-04-18 更新于 2020-04-19 分类于 Redis ， 数据结构 ， C ， 源码 ， Redis 阅读次数： Disqus：

### LRU

说完了过期策略再说下淘汰策略，redis 使用的策略是近似的 lru 策略，为什么是近似的呢，先来看下什么是 lru，看下 wiki 的介绍
，图中一共有四个槽的存储空间，依次访问顺序是 A B C D E D F，
当第一次访问 D 时刚好占满了坑，并且值是 4，这个值越小代表越先被淘汰，当 E 进来时，看了下已经存在的四个里 A 是最小的，代表是最早存在并且最早被访问的，那就先淘汰它了，E 占领了 A 的位置，并设置值为 4，然后又访问 D 了，D 已经存在了，不过又被访问到了，得更新值为 5，然后是 F 进来了，这时 B 是最老的且最近未被访问，所以就淘汰它了。以上是一个 lru 的简要说明，但是 redis 没有严格按照这个去执行，理由跟前面过期策略一致，最严格的过期策略应该是每个 key 都有对应的定时器，当超时时马上就能清除，但是问题是这样的cpu 消耗太大，所换来的内存效率不太值得，淘汰策略也是这样，类似于上图，要维护所有 key 的一个有序 lru 值，并且遍历将最小的淘汰，redis 采用的是抽样的形式，最初的实现方式是随机从 dict 抽取 5 个 key，淘汰一个 lru 最小的，这样子勉强能达到淘汰的目的，但是效果不是特别好，后面在 redis 3.0开始，将随机抽取改成了维护一个 pool，pool 的大小默认是 16，每次放入的都是按lru 值有序排列好，每一次放入的必须是 lru小于 pool 中最小的 lru 才允许放入，直到放满，后面再有新的就会将大的踢出。
redis 针对这个策略的改进做了一个实验，这里借用下图
首先背景是这图中的所有点都对应一个 redis 的 key，灰色部分加入后被顺序访问过一遍，然后又加入了绿色部分，那么按照理论的 lru 算法，应该是图左上中，浅灰色部分全都被淘汰，那么对比来看看图右上，左下和右下，左下表示 2.8 版本就是随机抽样 5 个 key，淘汰其中 lru 最小的一个，发现是灰色和浅灰色的都有被淘汰的，右下的 3.0 版本抽样数量不变的情况下，稍好一些，当 3.0 版本的抽样数量调整成 10 后，已经较为接近理论上的 lru 策略了，通过代码来简要分析下

    typedef struct redisObject {
        unsigned type:4;
        unsigned encoding:4;
        unsigned lru:LRU_BITS; /* LRU time (relative to global lru_clock) or
                                * LFU data (least significant 8 bits frequency
                                * and most significant 16 bits access time). */
        int refcount;
        void *ptr;
    } robj;

对于 lru 策略来说，lru 字段记录的就是`redisObj` 的LRU time，
redis 在访问数据时，都会调用`lookupKey`方法

    /* Low level key lookup API, not actually called directly from commands
     * implementations that should instead rely on lookupKeyRead(),
     * lookupKeyWrite() and lookupKeyReadWithFlags(). */
    robj *lookupKey(redisDb *db, robj *key, int flags) {
        dictEntry *de = dictFind(db->dict,key->ptr);
        if (de) {
            robj *val = dictGetVal(de);

            /* Update the access time for the ageing algorithm.
             * Don't do it if we have a saving child, as this will trigger
             * a copy on write madness. */
            if (!hasActiveChildProcess() && !(flags & LOOKUP_NOTOUCH)){
                if (server.maxmemory_policy & MAXMEMORY_FLAG_LFU) {
                    // 这个是后面一节的内容
                    updateLFU(val);
                } else {
                    //  对于这个分支，访问时就会去更新 lru 值
                    val->lru = LRU_CLOCK();
                }
            }
            return val;
        } else {
            return NULL;
        }
    }
    /* This function is used to obtain the current LRU clock.
     * If the current resolution is lower than the frequency we refresh the
     * LRU clock (as it should be in production servers) we return the
     * precomputed value, otherwise we need to resort to a system call. */
    unsigned int LRU_CLOCK(void) {
        unsigned int lruclock;
        if (1000/server.hz <= LRU_CLOCK_RESOLUTION) {
            // 如果服务器的频率server.hz大于 1 时就是用系统预设的 lruclock
            lruclock = server.lruclock;
        } else {
            lruclock = getLRUClock();
        }
        return lruclock;
    }
    /* Return the LRU clock, based on the clock resolution. This is a time
     * in a reduced-bits format that can be used to set and check the
     * object->lru field of redisObject structures. */
    unsigned int getLRUClock(void) {
        return (mstime()/LRU_CLOCK_RESOLUTION) & LRU_CLOCK_MAX;
    }

redis 处理命令是在这里`processCommand`

    /* If this function gets called we already read a whole
     * command, arguments are in the client argv/argc fields.
     * processCommand() execute the command or prepare the
     * server for a bulk read from the client.
     *
     * If C_OK is returned the client is still alive and valid and
     * other operations can be performed by the caller. Otherwise
     * if C_ERR is returned the client was destroyed (i.e. after QUIT). */
    int processCommand(client *c) {
        moduleCallCommandFilters(c);

        /* Handle the maxmemory directive.
         *
         * Note that we do not want to reclaim memory if we are here re-entering
         * the event loop since there is a busy Lua script running in timeout
         * condition, to avoid mixing the propagation of scripts with the
         * propagation of DELs due to eviction. */
        if (server.maxmemory && !server.lua_timedout) {
            int out_of_memory = freeMemoryIfNeededAndSafe() == C_ERR;
            /* freeMemoryIfNeeded may flush slave output buffers. This may result
             * into a slave, that may be the active client, to be freed. */
            if (server.current_client == NULL) return C_ERR;

            /* It was impossible to free enough memory, and the command the client
             * is trying to execute is denied during OOM conditions or the client
             * is in MULTI/EXEC context? Error. */
            if (out_of_memory &&
                (c->cmd->flags & CMD_DENYOOM ||
                 (c->flags & CLIENT_MULTI &&
                  c->cmd->proc != execCommand &&
                  c->cmd->proc != discardCommand)))
            {
                flagTransaction(c);
                addReply(c, shared.oomerr);
                return C_OK;
            }
        }
    }

这里只摘了部分，当需要清理内存时就会调用, 然后调用了`freeMemoryIfNeededAndSafe`

    /* This is a wrapper for freeMemoryIfNeeded() that only really calls the

`Redis`随机选择`maxmemory_samples`数量的key，然后计算这些`key`的空闲时间`idle time`，当满足条件时(比pool中的某些键的空闲时间还大)就可以进`pool`。`pool`更新之后，就淘汰`pool`中空闲时间最大的键。

`estimateObjectIdleTime`用来计算Redis对象的空闲时间：

    /* Given an object returns the min number of milliseconds the object was never
     * requested, using an approximated LRU algorithm. */
    unsigned long long estimateObjectIdleTime(robj *o) {
        unsigned long long lruclock = LRU_CLOCK();
        if (lruclock >= o->lru) {
            return (lruclock - o->lru) * LRU_CLOCK_RESOLUTION;
        } else {
            return (lruclock + (LRU_CLOCK_MAX - o->lru)) *
                        LRU_CLOCK_RESOLUTION;
        }
    }

空闲时间第一种是 lurclock 大于对象的 lru，那么就是减一下乘以精度，因为 lruclock 有可能是已经预生成的，所以会可能走下面这个

### LFU

上面介绍了LRU 的算法，但是考虑一种场景

    ~~~~~A~~~~~A~~~~~A~~~~A~~~~~A~~~~~A~~|
    ~~B~~B~~B~~B~~B~~B~~B~~B~~B~~B~~B~~B~|
    ~~~~~~~~~~C~~~~~~~~~C~~~~~~~~~C~~~~~~|
    ~~~~~D~~~~~~~~~~D~~~~~~~~~D~~~~~~~~~D|

可以发现，当采用 lru 的淘汰策略的时候，D 是最新的，会被认为是最值得保留的，但是事实上还不如 A 跟 B，然后 antirez 大神就想到了LFU (Least Frequently Used) 这个算法, 显然对于上面的四个 key 的访问频率，保留优先级应该是 B > A > C = D
那要怎么来实现这个 LFU 算法呢，其实像LRU，理想的情况就是维护个链表，把最新访问的放到头上去，但是这个会影响访问速度，注意到前面代码的应该可以看到，redisObject 的 lru 字段其实是两用的，当策略是 LFU 时，这个字段就另作他用了，它的 24 位长度被分成两部分

          16 bits      8 bits
    +----------------+--------+
    + Last decr time | LOG_C  |
    +----------------+--------+

前16位字段是最后一次递减时间，因此Redis知道 上一次计数器递减，后8位是 计数器 counter。
LFU 的主体策略就是当这个 key 被访问的次数越多频率越高他就越容易被保留下来，并且是最近被访问的频率越高。这其实有两个事情要做，一个是在访问的时候增加计数值，在一定长时间不访问时进行衰减，所以这里用了两个值，前 16 位记录上一次衰减的时间，后 8 位记录具体的计数值。
Redis4.0之后为maxmemory_policy淘汰策略添加了两个LFU模式：

`volatile-lfu`：对有过期时间的key采用LFU淘汰策略
`allkeys-lfu`：对全部key采用LFU淘汰策略
还有2个配置可以调整LFU算法：

    lfu-log-factor 10
    lfu-decay-time 1
    ```
    `lfu-log-factor` 可以调整计数器counter的增长速度，lfu-log-factor越大，counter增长的越慢。

    `lfu-decay-time`是一个以分钟为单位的数值，可以调整counter的减少速度
    这里有个问题是 8 位大小够计么，访问一次加 1 的话的确不够，不过大神就是大神，才不会这么简单的加一。往下看代码
    ```C
    /* Low level key lookup API, not actually called directly from commands
     * implementations that should instead rely on lookupKeyRead(),
     * lookupKeyWrite() and lookupKeyReadWithFlags(). */
    robj *lookupKey(redisDb *db, robj *key, int flags) {
        dictEntry *de = dictFind(db->dict,key->ptr);
        if (de) {
            robj *val = dictGetVal(de);

            /* Update the access time for the ageing algorithm.
             * Don't do it if we have a saving child, as this will trigger
             * a copy on write madness. */
            if (!hasActiveChildProcess() && !(flags & LOOKUP_NOTOUCH)){
                if (server.maxmemory_policy & MAXMEMORY_FLAG_LFU) {
                    // 当淘汰策略是 LFU 时，就会调用这个updateLFU
                    updateLFU(val);
                } else {
                    val->lru = LRU_CLOCK();
                }
            }
            return val;
        } else {
            return NULL;
        }
    }

`updateLFU` 这个其实个入口，调用了两个重要的方法

    /* Update LFU when an object is accessed.
     * Firstly, decrement the counter if the decrement time is reached.
     * Then logarithmically increment the counter, and update the access time. */
    void updateLFU(robj *val) {
        unsigned long counter = LFUDecrAndReturn(val);
        counter = LFULogIncr(counter);
        val->lru = (LFUGetTimeInMinutes()<<8) | counter;
    }

首先来看看`LFUDecrAndReturn`，这个方法的作用是根据上一次衰减时间和系统配置的 `lfu-decay-time` 参数来确定需要将 counter 减去多少

    /* If the object decrement time is reached decrement the LFU counter but
     * do not update LFU fields of the object, we update the access time
     * and counter in an explicit way when the object is really accessed.
     * And we will times halve the counter according to the times of
     * elapsed time than server.lfu_decay_time.
     * Return the object frequency counter.
     *
     * This function is used in order to scan the dataset for the best object
     * to fit: as we check for the candidate, we incrementally decrement the
     * counter of the scanned objects if needed. */
    unsigned long LFUDecrAndReturn(robj *o) {
        // 右移 8 位，拿到上次衰减时间
        unsigned long ldt = o->lru >> 8;
        // 对 255 做与操作，拿到 counter 值
        unsigned long counter = o->lru & 255;
        // 根据lfu_decay_time来算出过了多少个衰减周期
        unsigned long num_periods = server.lfu_decay_time ? LFUTimeElapsed(ldt) / server.lfu_decay_time : 0;
        if (num_periods)
            counter = (num_periods > counter) ? 0 : counter - num_periods;
        return counter;
    }

然后是加，调用了`LFULogIncr`

    /* Logarithmically increment a counter. The greater is the current counter value
     * the less likely is that it gets really implemented. Saturate it at 255. */
    uint8_t LFULogIncr(uint8_t counter) {
        // 最大值就是 255，到顶了就不加了
        if (counter == 255) return 255;
        // 生成个随机小数
        double r = (double)rand()/RAND_MAX;
        // 减去个基础值，LFU_INIT_VAL = 5，防止刚进来就被逐出
        double baseval = counter - LFU_INIT_VAL;
        // 如果是小于 0，
        if (baseval < 0) baseval = 0;
        // 如果 baseval 是 0，那么 p 就是 1了，后面 counter 直接加一，如果不是的话，得看系统参数lfu_log_factor，这个越大，除出来的 p 越小，那么 counter++的可能性也越小，这样子就把前面的疑问给解决了，不是直接+1 的
        double p = 1.0/(baseval*server.lfu_log_factor+1);
        if (r < p) counter++;
        return counter;
    }

简而言之就是 lfu_log_factor 越大变化的越慢

### 总结

总结一下，redis 实现了近似的 lru 淘汰策略，通过增加了淘汰 key 的池子(pool)，并且增大每次抽样的 key 的数量来将淘汰效果更进一步地接近于 lru，这是 lru 策略，但是对于前面举的一个例子，其实 lru 并不能保证 key 的淘汰就如我们预期，所以在后期又引入了 lfu 的策略，lfu的策略比较巧妙，复用了 redis 对象的 lru 字段，并且使用了factor 参数来控制计数器递增的速度，防止 8 位的计数器太早溢出。

## redis系列介绍七-过期策略

这一篇不再是数据结构介绍了，大致的数据结构基本都介绍了，这一篇主要是查漏补缺，或者说讲一些重要且基本的概念，也可能是经常被忽略的，很多讲 redis 的系列文章可能都会忽略，学习 redis 的时候也会，因为觉得源码学习就是讲主要的数据结构和“算法”学习了就好了。
redis 的主要应用就是拿来作为高性能的缓存，那么缓存一般有些啥需要注意的，首先是访问速度，如果取得跟数据库一样快，那就没什么存在的意义，第二个是缓存的字面意思，我只是为了让数据读取快一些，通常大部分的场景这个是需要更新过期的，这里就把我要讲的第一点引出来了（真累，

## redis过期策略

redis 是如何过期缓存的，可以猜测下，最无脑的就是每个设置了过期时间的 key 都设个定时器，过期了就删除，这种显然消耗太大，清理地最及时，还有的就是 redis 正在采用的懒汉清理策略和定期清理
懒汉策略就是在使用的时候去检查缓存是否过期，比如 get 操作时，先判断下这个 key 是否已经过期了，如果过期了就删掉，并且返回空，如果没过期则正常返回
主要代码是

    /* This function is called when we are going to perform some operation
     * in a given key, but such key may be already logically expired even if
     * it still exists in the database. The main way this function is called
     * is via lookupKey*() family of functions.
     *
     * The behavior of the function depends on the replication role of the
     * instance, because slave instances do not expire keys, they wait
     * for DELs from the master for consistency matters. However even
     * slaves will try to have a coherent return value for the function,
     * so that read commands executed in the slave side will be able to
     * behave like if the key is expired even if still present (because the
     * master has yet to propagate the DEL).
     *
     * In masters as a side effect of finding a key which is expired, such
     * key will be evicted from the database. Also this may trigger the
     * propagation of a DEL/UNLINK command in AOF / replication stream.
     *
     * The return value of the function is 0 if the key is still valid,
     * otherwise the function returns 1 if the key is expired. */
    int expireIfNeeded(redisDb *db, robj *key) {
        if (!keyIsExpired(db,key)) return 0;

        /* If we are running in the context of a slave, instead of
         * evicting the expired key from the database, we return ASAP:
         * the slave key expiration is controlled by the master that will
         * send us synthesized DEL operations for expired keys.
         *
         * Still we try to return the right information to the caller,
         * that is, 0 if we think the key should be still valid, 1 if
         * we think the key is expired at this time. */
        if (server.masterhost != NULL) return 1;

        /* Delete the key */
        server.stat_expiredkeys++;
        propagateExpire(db,key,server.lazyfree_lazy_expire);
        notifyKeyspaceEvent(NOTIFY_EXPIRED,
            "expired",key,db->id);
        return server.lazyfree_lazy_expire ? dbAsyncDelete(db,key) :
                                             dbSyncDelete(db,key);
    }

    /* Check if the key is expired. */
    int keyIsExpired(redisDb *db, robj *key) {
        mstime_t when = getExpire(db,key);
        mstime_t now;

        if (when < 0) return 0; /* No expire for this key */

        /* Don't expire anything while loading. It will be done later. */
        if (server.loading) return 0;

        /* If we are in the context of a Lua script, we pretend that time is
         * blocked to when the Lua script started. This way a key can expire
         * only the first time it is accessed and not in the middle of the
         * script execution, making propagation to slaves / AOF consistent.
         * See issue #1525 on Github for more information. */
        if (server.lua_caller) {
            now = server.lua_time_start;
        }
        /* If we are in the middle of a command execution, we still want to use
         * a reference time that does not change: in that case we just use the
         * cached time, that we update before each call in the call() function.
         * This way we avoid that commands such as RPOPLPUSH or similar, that
         * may re-open the same key multiple times, can invalidate an already
         * open object in a next call, if the next call will see the key expired,
         * while the first did not. */
        else if (server.fixed_time_expire > 0) {
            now = server.mstime;
        }
        /* For the other cases, we want to use the most fresh time we have. */
        else {
            now = mstime();
        }

        /* The key expired if the current (virtual or real) time is greater
         * than the expire time of the key. */
        return now > when;
    }
    /* Return the expire time of the specified key, or -1 if no expire
     * is associated with this key (i.e. the key is non volatile) */
    long long getExpire(redisDb *db, robj *key) {
        dictEntry *de;

        /* No expire? return ASAP */
        if (dictSize(db->expires) == 0 ||
           (de = dictFind(db->expires,key->ptr)) == NULL) return -1;

        /* The entry was found in the expire dict, this means it should also
         * be present in the main dict (safety check). */
        serverAssertWithInfo(NULL,key,dictFind(db->dict,key->ptr) != NULL);
        return dictGetSignedIntegerVal(de);
    }

这里有几点要注意的，第一是当惰性删除时会根据lazyfree_lazy_expire这个参数去判断是执行同步删除还是异步删除，另外一点是对于 slave，是不需要执行的，因为会在 master 过期时向 slave 发送 del 指令。
光采用这个策略会有什么问题呢，假如一些key 一直未被访问，那这些 key 就不会过期了，导致一直被占用着内存，所以 redis 采取了懒汉式过期加定期过期策略，定期策略是怎么执行的呢

     * the "server.hz" frequency (usually 10 hertz).
     *
     * However the slow cycle can exit for timeout, since it used too much time.
     * For this reason the function is also invoked to perform a fast cycle
     * at every event loop cycle, in the beforeSleep() function. The fast cycle
     * will try to perform less work, but will do it much more often.
     *
     * The following are the details of the two expire cycles and their stop
     * conditions:
     *
     * If type is ACTIVE_EXPIRE_CYCLE_FAST the function will try to run a
     * "fast" expire cycle that takes no longer than EXPIRE_FAST_CYCLE_DURATION
     * microseconds, and is not repeated again before the same amount of time.
     * The cycle will also refuse to run at all if the latest slow cycle did not
     * terminate because of a time limit condition.
     *
     * If type is ACTIVE_EXPIRE_CYCLE_SLOW, that normal expire cycle is
     * executed, where the time limit is a percentage of the REDIS_HZ period
     * as specified by the ACTIVE_EXPIRE_CYCLE_SLOW_TIME_PERC define. In the
     * fast cycle, the check of every database is interrupted once the number
     * of already expired keys in the database is estimated to be lower than
     * a given percentage, in order to avoid doing too much work to gain too
     * little memory.
     *
     * The configured expire "effort" will modify the baseline parameters in
     * order to do more work in both the fast and slow expire cycles.

执行定期清除分成两种类型，快和慢，分别由`beforeSleep`和`databasesCron`调用，快版有两个限制，一个是执行时长由ACTIVE_EXPIRE_CYCLE_FAST_DURATION限制，另一个是执行间隔是 2 倍的ACTIVE_EXPIRE_CYCLE_FAST_DURATION，另外这还可以由配置的server.active_expire_effort参数来控制，默认是 1，最大是 10

    onfig_cycle_fast_duration = ACTIVE_EXPIRE_CYCLE_FAST_DURATION +
                                     ACTIVE_EXPIRE_CYCLE_FAST_DURATION/4*effort

然后会从一定数量的 db 中找出一定数量的带过期时间的 key（保存在 expires中），这里的数量是由

    config_keys_per_loop = ACTIVE_EXPIRE_CYCLE_KEYS_PER_LOOP +
                               ACTIVE_EXPIRE_CYCLE_KEYS_PER_LOOP/4*effort
    ```
    控制，慢速的执行时长是
    ```C
    config_cycle_slow_time_perc = ACTIVE_EXPIRE_CYCLE_SLOW_TIME_PERC +
                                      2*effort
    timelimit = config_cycle_slow_time_perc*1000000/server.hz/100;

这里还有一个额外的退出条件，如果当前数据库的抽样结果已经达到我们所允许的过期 key 百分比，则下次不再处理当前 db，继续处理下个 db
