Summary:
**Context:**
Some existing internal calls of `GenericRateLimiter::Request()` in backupable_db.cc and newly added internal calls in https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/8722/ do not make sure `bytes <= GetSingleBurstBytes()` as required by rate_limiter https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/blob/master/include/rocksdb/rate_limiter.h#L47.
**Impacts of this bug include:**
(1) In debug build, when `GenericRateLimiter::Request()` requests bytes greater than `GenericRateLimiter:: kMinRefillBytesPerPeriod = 100` byte, process will crash due to assertion failure. See https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/9063#discussion_r737034133 and for possible scenario
(2) In production build, although there will not be the above crash due to disabled assertion, the bug can lead to a request of small bytes being blocked for a long time by a request of same priority with insanely large bytes from a different thread. See updated https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/wiki/Rate-Limiter ("Notice that although....the maximum bytes that can be granted in a single request have to be bounded...") for more info.
There is an on-going effort to move rate-limiting to file wrapper level so rate limiting in `BackupEngine` and this PR might be made obsolete in the future.
**Summary:**
- Implemented loop-calling `GenericRateLimiter::Request()` with `bytes <= GetSingleBurstBytes()` as a static private helper function `BackupEngineImpl::LoopRateLimitRequestHelper`
-- Considering make this a util function in `RateLimiter` later or do something with `RateLimiter::RequestToken()`
- Replaced buggy internal callers with this helper function wherever requested byte is not pre-limited by `GetSingleBurstBytes()`
- Removed the minimum refill bytes per period enforced by `GenericRateLimiter` since it is useless and prevents testing `GenericRateLimiter` for extreme case with small refill bytes per period.
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/9063
Test Plan:
- Added a new test that failed the assertion before this change and now passes
- It exposed bugs in [the write during creation in `CopyOrCreateFile()`](df7cc66e17/utilities/backupable/backupable_db.cc (L2034-L2043)), [the read of table properties in `GetFileDbIdentities()`](df7cc66e17/utilities/backupable/backupable_db.cc (L2372-L2378)), [some read of metadata in `BackupMeta::LoadFromFile()`](df7cc66e17/utilities/backupable/backupable_db.cc (L2726))
- Passing Existing tests
