Oracle等待事件Enqueue CI:Cross Instance Call Invocation

"Cross Instance call Enqueue"是一种在一个或多个instance实例间调用后台进程行为时用到的队列锁,具体调用的后台进程行为包括检查点checkpoint、日志切换logfile switch、shutdown实例、载入数据文件头等等。需要注意的是这种Enqueue Lock并不仅仅在RAC中使用，即便是单节点也会用到。CI锁的数量取决于并行执行Cross Instance Call调用的进程的总数。

当系统中出现有大量这种跨实例后台进程调用时，将出现CI队列锁的争用。假设在一个RAC场景中，同时有大量的回话开始对不同的数据表执行TRUNCATE截断操作，TRUNCATE的一个前提是在所有实例上(因为对象表的dirty buffer可能分布在多个实例上)发生对象级别的检查点(object level checkpoint)，检查点发生时CKPT进程会通知DBWR写出指定对象表相关的脏块，DBWR需要扫描Buffer Cache以找出脏块，而如果Buffer Cache很大那么扫描将花费大量的时间，而在此过程中前台进程将一直排他地持有着本地的CI队列锁，这就将造成CI锁的严重争用。 为了减少CI队列锁地争用，我们第一步所要做的是找出实际的Cross Instance call跨实例调用的类型。这里要另外提一下的是在10g以前不管是v$session_wait或statspack中都不会将enqueue锁等待事件的具体enqueue lock类型写明，一般需要我们从p1/p2/p3列中找出enqueue的具体身份，例如"WAIT #1: nam='enqueue' ela= 910796 p1=1128857606 p2=1 p3=4"，这里的p1为1128857606也就是16进制的43490006，高位的'4349'转换为ascii码也就是'CI'，而这里的p2/p3对应为V$lock中的ID1/ID2，ID1=1代表了"Reuse (checkpoint and invalidate) block range"，ID2=4代表了"Mounted excl, use to allocate mechanism"。 具体ID1/ID2代表的含义在不同版本中有所变化，可以参考下表:
