23 * The overall layout of an XLOG record is:
24 * Fixed-size header (XLogRecord struct)
32 * where there can be zero to three backup blocks (as signaled by xl_info flag
33 * bits). XLogRecord structs always start on MAXALIGN boundaries in the WAL
34 * files, and we round up SizeOfXLogRecord so that the rmgr data is also
35 * guaranteed to begin on a MAXALIGN boundary. However, no padding is added
36 * to align BkpBlock structs or backup block data.
38 * NOTE: xl_len counts only the rmgr data, not the XLogRecord header,
39 * and also not any backup blocks. xl_tot_len counts everything. Neither
40 * length field is rounded up to an alignment boundary.

63 * XLOG uses only low 4 bits of xl_info. High 4 bits may be used by rmgr.
65 #define XLR_INFO_MASK 0x0F
68 * If we backed up any disk blocks with the XLOG record, we use flag bits in
69 * xl_info to signal it. We support backup of up to 3 disk blocks per XLOG

80 * Bit 0 of xl_info is set if the backed-up blocks could safely be removed
81 * from a compressed version of XLOG (that is, they are backed up only to
82 * prevent partial-page-write problems, and not to ensure consistency of PITR
83 * recovery). The compression algorithm would need to extract data from the
84 * blocks to create an equivalent non-full-page XLOG record.

94 extern int sync_method;
97 * The rmgr data to be written by XLogInsert() is defined by a chain of
98 * one or more XLogRecData structs. (Multiple structs would be used when
99 * parts of the source data aren't physically adjacent in memory, or when
100 * multiple associated buffers need to be specified.)
102 * If buffer is valid then XLOG will check if buffer must be backed up
103 * (ie, whether this is first change of that page since last checkpoint).
104 * If so, the whole page contents are attached to the XLOG record, and XLOG
105 * sets XLR_BKP_BLOCK_X bit in xl_info. Note that the buffer must be pinned
106 * and exclusive-locked by the caller, so that it won't change under us.
107 * NB: when the buffer is backed up, we DO NOT insert the data pointed to by
108 * this XLogRecData struct into the XLOG record, since we assume it's present
109 * in the buffer. Therefore, rmgr redo routines MUST pay attention to
110 * XLR_BKP_BLOCK_X to know what is actually stored in the XLOG record.
111 * The i'th XLR_BKP_BLOCK bit corresponds to the i'th distinct buffer
112 * value (ignoring InvalidBuffer) appearing in the rdata chain.
114 * When buffer is valid, caller must set buffer_std to indicate whether the
115 * page uses standard pd_lower/pd_upper header fields. If this is true, then
116 * XLOG is allowed to omit the free space between pd_lower and pd_upper from
117 * the backed-up page image. Note that even when buffer_std is false, the
118 * page MUST have an LSN field as its first eight bytes!
120 * Note: data can be NULL to indicate no rmgr data associated with this chain
121 * entry. This can be sensible (ie, not a wasted entry) if buffer is valid.
122 * The implication is that the buffer has been changed by the operation being
123 * logged, and so may need to be backed up, but the change can be redone using
124 * only information already present elsewhere in the XLOG entry.
