[PATCH v2 0/4] Delete old WAL files if running out of disk space

[Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov.dev@gmail.com>]

If a replica permanently stops working for some reason, it will pin WAL
files it would need to resume until it is deleted from the _cluster
system space or the master is restarted. This happens in production when
an admin drops a replica and forgets to remove it from the master, and
this is quite annoying, because it may result in ENOSPC errors on the
master.

This patch set attempts to mitigate this problem by making the WAL
thread delete old WAL files and shoot off old replicas automatically
when it runs out of disk space.

Changes in v2:
 - Simplify WAL fallocate logic and move it from xlog.c (xlog_fallocate)
   to wal.c (wal_fallocate), because it's a business of the WAL thread.
   Now we simply fallocate() in 1 MB blocks.
 - Rework xdir_collect_garbage(): pass flags instead of bool + number of
   files to delete; also, introduce xdir_has_garbage() to make the code
   more straightforward.

v1: https://www.freelists.org/post/tarantool-patches/PATCH-05-Delete-old-WAL-files-if-running-out-of-disk-space

Vladimir Davydov (4):
  xlog: turn use_coio argument of xdir_collect_garbage to flags
  wal: preallocate disk space before writing rows
  wal: notify watchers about wal file removal
  wal: delete old wal files when running out of disk space
