5 PGPool is a structure used to manage and update the status of removed
6 snapshots. It does this by maintaining two fields, cached_removed_snaps - the
7 current removed snap set and newly_removed_snaps - newly removed snaps in the
8 last epoch. In OSD::load_pgs the osd map is recovered from the pg's file store
9 and passed down to OSD::_get_pool where a PGPool object is initialised with the
12 With each new map we receive we call PGPool::update with the new map. In that
13 function we build a list of newly removed snaps
14 (pg_pool_t::build_removed_snaps) and merge that with our cached_removed_snaps.
15 This function included checks to make sure we only do this update when things
16 have changed or there has been a map gap.
18 When we activate the pg we initialise the snap trim queue from
19 cached_removed_snaps and subtract the purged_snaps we have already purged
20 leaving us with the list of snaps that need to be trimmed. Trimming is later
21 performed asynchronously by the snap_trim_wq.
