What hurts more, the pain of hard work or the pain of regret?

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

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

#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_idm_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

    }

    }

    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 CommittedRepeated 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

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

对于 lru 策略来说,lru 字段记录的就是redisObj 的LRU time,

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poolpool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:

1

3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
/* 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

1
2
3
4
~~~~~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

1
2
3
4
      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

* 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

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。

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

}

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

/* Try to expire a few timed out keys. The algorithm used is adaptive and
* will use few CPU cycles if there are few expiring keys, otherwise
* it will get more aggressive to avoid that too much memory is used by
* keys that can be removed from the keyspace.
*
* Every expire cycle tests multiple databases: the next call will start
* again from the next db, with the exception of exists for time limit: in that
* case we restart again from the last database we were processing. Anyway
* no more than CRON_DBS_PER_CALL databases are tested at every iteration.
*
* The function can perform more or less work, depending on the "type"
* argument. It can execute a "fast cycle" or a "slow cycle". The slow
* cycle is the main way we collect expired cycles: this happens with
* 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beforeSleepdatabasesCron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

2
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

8
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
