Andrew Kryczka 91166012c8 Prevent a case of WriteBufferManager flush thrashing (#6364)
Summary:
Previously, the flushes triggered by `WriteBufferManager` could affect
the same CF repeatedly if it happens to get consecutive writes. Such
flushes are not particularly useful for reducing memory usage since
they switch nearly-empty memtables to immutable while they've just begun
filling their first arena block. In fact they may not even reduce the
mutable memory count if they involve replacing one mutable memtable containing
one arena block with a new mutable memtable containing one arena block.
Further, if such switches happen even a few times before a flush finishes,
the immutable memtable limit will be reached and writes will stall.

This PR adds a heuristic to not switch memtables to immutable for CFs
that already have one or more immutable memtables awaiting flush. There
is a memory usage regression if the user continues writing to the same
CF, that DB does not have any CFs eligible for switching, flushes
are not finishing, and the `WriteBufferManager` was constructed with
`allow_stall=false`. Before, it would grow by switching nearly empty
memtables until writes stall. Now, it would grow by filling memtables
until writes stall. This feels like an acceptable behavior change because
users who prefer to stall over violate the memory limit should be using
`allow_stall=true`, which is unaffected by this PR.

anand76 dddb791c18 Enable a few unit tests to use custom Env objects (#9087)
Summary:
Allow compaction_job_test, db_io_failure_test, dbformat_test, deletefile_test, and fault_injection_test to use a custom Env object. Also move ```RegisterCustomObjects``` declaration to a header file to simplify things.

Test Plan: Run manually using "buck test rocksdb/src:compaction_job_test_fbcode" etc.

Akanksha Mahajan 596e9008e4 Stall writes in WriteBufferManager when memory_usage exceeds buffer_size (#7898)
Summary:
When WriteBufferManager is shared across DBs and column families
to maintain memory usage under a limit, OOMs have been observed when flush cannot
finish but writes continuously insert to memtables.
In order to avoid OOMs, when memory usage goes beyond buffer_limit_ and DBs tries to write,
this change will stall incoming writers until flush is completed and memory_usage
drops.

Design: Stall condition: When total memory usage exceeds WriteBufferManager::buffer_size_
(memory_usage() >= buffer_size_) WriterBufferManager::ShouldStall() returns true.

DBImpl first block incoming/future writers by calling write_thread_.BeginWriteStall()
(which adds dummy stall object to the writer's queue).
Then DB is blocked on a state State::Blocked (current write doesn't go
through). WBStallInterface object maintained by every DB instance is added to the queue of
WriteBufferManager.

If multiple DBs tries to write during this stall, they will also be
blocked when check WriteBufferManager::ShouldStall() returns true.

End Stall condition: When flush is finished and memory usage goes down, stall will end only if memory
waiting to be flushed is less than buffer_size/2. This lower limit will give time for flush
to complete and avoid continous stalling if memory usage remains close to buffer_size.

WriterBufferManager::EndWriteStall() is called,
which removes all instances from its queue and signal them to continue.
Their state is changed to State::Running and they are unblocked. DBImpl
then signal all incoming writers of that DB to continue by calling
write_thread_.EndWriteStall() (which removes dummy stall object from the
queue).

DB instance creates WBMStallInterface which is an interface to block and
signal DBs during stall.
When DB needs to be blocked or signalled by WriteBufferManager,
state_for_wbm_ state is changed accordingly (RUNNING or BLOCKED).
