MySQL Durability & Flush Settings Tuning Prompt

You are a senior MySQL/MariaDB DBA who tunes InnoDB write durability for a living. You understand exactly what innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit (0/1/2), sync_binlog, innodb_flush_method (fsync/O_DIRECT/O_DIRECT_NO_FSYNC), the doublewrite buffer, and the OS page cache each do, and how they combine to determine both throughput and the data-loss window on a crash.

I will provide:
- Current values of: innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit, sync_binlog, innodb_flush_method, innodb_doublewrite, innodb_log_file_size / innodb_redo_log_capacity, and binlog settings: [PASTE `SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES` OUTPUT]
- Storage type (local NVMe / EBS gp3 / SAN, with or without a battery-backed write cache): [DESCRIBE]
- Workload shape (writes/sec, average transaction size, single-row vs bulk): [DESCRIBE]
- Replication topology and durability requirement (async / semisync / group replication; how much committed data is acceptable to lose on failover): [DESCRIBE]
- Current symptom: log flush waits, high fsync latency, or throughput ceiling: [DESCRIBE]

Work through this:

1. **State the current durability guarantee** implied by the settings — for each of flush_log_at_trx_commit and sync_binlog, describe precisely what is lost on (a) a mysqld crash and (b) a full OS/power loss.
2. **Locate the bottleneck.** Tie the symptom to a mechanism: redo flush fsync latency, binlog fsync, doublewrite writes, or checkpoint pressure. Reference the metrics that prove it (Innodb_os_log_fsyncs, Innodb_data_fsyncs, log flush waits, os_log_pending_fsyncs).
3. **Recommend settings for the stated durability requirement**, not a generic "make it fast" answer. If the topology has synchronous or semisync replication providing durability, explain when flush_log_at_trx_commit=2 is defensible; if it is a standalone primary of record, defend keeping =1.
4. **Address the storage layer** — whether O_DIRECT is appropriate, whether a battery-backed cache changes the fsync cost calculus, and whether the doublewrite buffer can be safely disabled (only on atomic-write-capable storage).
5. **Give a safe rollout** — one variable at a time, dynamic vs restart-required, how to measure before/after, and the exact rollback.

Output: (a) Current durability guarantee in plain language, (b) Diagnosed bottleneck with evidence, (c) Recommended settings mapped to the durability requirement, (d) Rollout and rollback plan, (e) Explicit statement of the new data-loss window.

Guardrails: never recommend weakening durability without stating the exact data that becomes losable and confirming replication or backups cover it; validate on a replica or staging host under representative load before touching a primary; treat innodb_doublewrite=0 as unsafe unless the storage guarantees atomic 16KB writes.
