* Fix compilation of pg_xlogdump, now that rm_safe_restartpoint is no more.Heikki Linnakangas2014-03-18
| | | | Oops. Pointed out by Andres Freund.
* Remove rm_safe_restartpoint machinery.Heikki Linnakangas2014-03-18
| | | | | | | | | It is no longer used, none of the resource managers have multi-record actions that would make it unsafe to perform a restartpoint. Also don't allow rm_cleanup to write WAL records, it's also no longer required. Move the call to rm_cleanup routines to make it more symmetric with rm_startup.

* Make the handling of interrupted B-tree page splits more robust.Heikki Linnakangas2014-03-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Splitting a page consists of two separate steps: splitting the child page, and inserting the downlink for the new right page to the parent. Previously, we handled the case that you crash in between those steps with a cleanup routine after the WAL recovery had finished, which finished the incomplete split. However, that doesn't help if the page split is interrupted but the database doesn't crash, so that you don't perform WAL recovery. That could happen for example if you run out of disk space. Remove the end-of-recovery cleanup step. Instead, when a page is split, the left page is marked with a new INCOMPLETE_SPLIT flag, and when the downlink is inserted to the parent, the flag is cleared again. If an insertion sees a page with the flag set, it knows that the split was interrupted for some reason, and inserts the missing downlink before proceeding. I used the same approach to fix GIN and GiST split algorithms earlier. This was the last WAL cleanup routine, so we could get rid of that whole machinery now, but I'll leave that for a separate patch. Reviewed by Peter Geoghegan.

* test_shm_mq: Use Size rather than uint64.Robert Haas2014-03-18
| | | | | | | Commit 3bd261ca18c67eafe18088e58fab511e3b965418 updated the API but neglected to make the corresponding edits here. Per Tom Lane and the buildfarm.

| | | | | | | This is fairly basic at the moment, but it's at least useful for testing and debugging, and possibly more. Andres Freund
* Rewrite comment for shm_mq_receive_bytes.Robert Haas2014-03-18
| | | | | | | The comment and the code diverged at some point before the initial commit of this feature, and I failed to notice. Noted by Tom Lane.
* Fix relcache reference leak in refresh_by_match_merge().Tom Lane2014-03-18
| | | | | | | | | | | One path through the loop over indexes forgot to do index_close(). Rather than adding a fourth call, restructure slightly so that there's only one. In passing, get rid of an unnecessary syscache lookup: the pg_index struct for the index is already available from its relcache entry. Per report from YAMAMOTO Takashi, though this is a bit different from his suggested patch. This is new code in HEAD, so no need for back-patch.
* Improve shm_mq portability around MAXIMUM_ALIGNOF and sizeof(Size).Robert Haas2014-03-18
| | | | | | | | | | | Revise the original decision to expose a uint64-based interface and use Size everywhere possible. Avoid assuming that MAXIMUM_ALIGNOF is 8, or making any assumption about the relationship between that value and sizeof(Size). If MAXIMUM_ALIGNOF is bigger, we'll now insert padding after the length word; if it's smaller, we are now prepared to read and write the length word in chunks. Per discussion with Tom Lane.
* Fix pg_dumpall option parsing: -i doesn't take an argument.Tom Lane2014-03-18
| | | | | | This used to work properly, but got fat-fingered in commit 3dee636e0404885d07885d41c0d70e50c784f324. Per bug #9620 from Nicolas Payart.
* Fix help message and document in pg_receivexlog.Fujii Masao2014-03-18
| | | | | Add SLOTNAME placeholder to --slot option in help message and document.
* Make it easy to detach completely from shared memory.Robert Haas2014-03-18
| | | | | | | | | | The new function dsm_detach_all() can be used either by postmaster children that don't wish to take any risk of accidentally corrupting shared memory; or by forked children of regular backends with the same need. This patch also updates the postmaster children that already do PGSharedMemoryDetach() to do dsm_detach_all() as well. Per discussion with Tom Lane.

* During index build, check and elog (not just Assert) for broken HOT chain.Tom Lane2014-03-17
| | | | | | | The recently-fixed bug in WAL replay could result in not finding a parent tuple for a heap-only tuple. The existing code would either Assert or generate an invalid index entry, neither of which is desirable. Throw a regular error instead.

* Fix bug in clean shutdown of walsender that pg_receiving is connecting to.Fujii Masao2014-03-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | On clean shutdown, walsender waits for all WAL to be replicated to a standby, and exits. It determined whether that replication had been completed by checking whether its sent location had been equal to a standby's flush location. Unfortunately this condition never becomes true when the standby such as pg_receivexlog which always returns an invalid flush location is connecting to walsender, and then walsender waits forever. This commit changes walsender so that it just checks a standby's write location if a flush location is invalid. Back-patch to 9.1 where enough infrastructure for this exists.

* Fix unportable shell-script syntax in pg_upgrade's test.sh.Tom Lane2014-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | I discovered the hard way that on some old shells, the locution FOO="" unset FOO does not behave the same as FOO=""; unset FOO and in fact leaves FOO set to an empty string. test.sh was inconsistently spelling it different ways on adjacent lines. This got broken relatively recently, in commit c737a2e56, so the lack of field reports to date doesn't represent a lot of evidence that the problem is rare.

* Fix advertised dispsize for libpq's sslmode connection parameter.Tom Lane2014-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | "8" was correct back when "disable" was the longest allowed value, but since "verify-full" was added, it should be "12". Given the lack of complaints, I wouldn't be surprised if nobody is actually using these values ... but still, if they're in the API, they should be right. Noticed while pursuing a different problem. It's been wrong for quite a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches.
* Cleanups from the remove-native-krb5 patchMagnus Hagander2014-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | | krb_srvname is actually not available anymore as a parameter server-side, since with gssapi we accept all principals in our keytab. It's still used in libpq for client side specification. In passing remove declaration of krb_server_hostname, where all the functionality was already removed. Noted by Stephen Frost, though a different solution than his suggestion

* Fix race condition in B-tree page deletion.Heikki Linnakangas2014-03-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In short, we don't allow a page to be deleted if it's the rightmost child of its parent, but that situation can change after we check for it. Problem ------- We check that the page to be deleted is not the rightmost child of its parent, and then lock its left sibling, the page itself, its right sibling, and the parent, in that order. However, if the parent page is split after the check but before acquiring the locks, the target page might become the rightmost child, if the split happens at the right place. That leads to an error in vacuum (I reproduced this by setting a breakpoint in debugger): ERROR: failed to delete rightmost child 41 of block 3 in index "foo_pkey" We currently re-check that the page is still the rightmost child, and throw the above error if it's not. We could easily just give up rather than throw an error, but that approach doesn't scale to half-dead pages. To recap, although we don't normally allow deleting the rightmost child, if the page is the *only* child of its parent, we delete the child page and mark the parent page as half-dead in one atomic operation. But before we do that, we check that the parent can later be deleted, by checking that it in turn is not the rightmost child of the grandparent (potentially recursing all the way up to the root). But the same situation can arise there - the grandparent can be split while we're not holding the locks. We end up with a half-dead page that we cannot delete. To make things worse, the keyspace of the deleted page has already been transferred to its right sibling. As the README points out, the keyspace at the grandparent level is "out-of-whack" until the half-dead page is deleted, and if enough tuples with keys in the transferred keyspace are inserted, the page might get split and a downlink might be inserted into the grandparent that is out-of-order. That might not cause any serious problem if it's transient (as the README ponders), but is surely bad if it stays that way. Solution -------- This patch changes the page deletion algorithm to avoid that problem. After checking that the topmost page in the chain of to-be-deleted pages is not the rightmost child of its parent, and then deleting the pages from bottom up, unlink the pages from top to bottom. This way, the intermediate stages are similar to the intermediate stages in page splitting, and there is no transient stage where the keyspace is "out-of-whack". The topmost page in the to-be-deleted chain doesn't have a downlink pointing to it, like a page split before the downlink has been inserted. This also allows us to get rid of the cleanup step after WAL recovery, if we crash during page deletion. The deletion will be continued at next VACUUM, but the tree is consistent for searches and insertions at every step. This bug is old, all supported versions are affected, but this patch is too big to back-patch (and changes the WAL record formats of related records). We have not heard any reports of the bug from users, so clearly it's not easy to bump into. Maybe backpatch later, after this has had some field testing.

* Prevent interrupts while reporting non-ERROR elog messages.Tom Lane2014-03-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This should eliminate the risk of recursive entry to syslog(3), which appears to be the cause of the hang reported in bug #9551 from James Morton. Arguably, the real problem here is auth.c's willingness to turn on ImmediateInterruptOK while executing fairly wide swaths of backend code. We may well need to work at narrowing the code ranges in which the authentication_timeout interrupt is enabled. For the moment, though, this is a cheap and reasonably noninvasive fix for a field-reported failure; the other approach would be complex and not necessarily bug-free itself. Back-patch to all supported branches.
* Allow psql to print COPY command status in more cases.Tom Lane2014-03-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, psql would print the "COPY nnn" command status only for COPY commands executed server-side. Now it will print that for frontend copies too (including \copy). However, we continue to suppress the command status for COPY TO STDOUT, since in that case the copy data has been routed to the same place that the command status would go, and there is a risk of the status line being mistaken for another line of COPY data. Doing that would break existing scripts, and it doesn't seem worth the benefit --- this case seems fairly analogous to SELECT, for which we also suppress the command status.

* Avoid transaction-commit race condition while receiving a NOTIFY message.Tom Lane2014-03-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use TransactionIdIsInProgress, then TransactionIdDidCommit, to distinguish whether a NOTIFY message's originating transaction is in progress, committed, or aborted. The previous coding could accept a message from a transaction that was still in-progress according to the PGPROC array; if the client were fast enough at starting a new transaction, it might fail to see table rows added/updated by the message-sending transaction. Which of course would usually be the point of receiving the message. We noted this type of race condition long ago in tqual.c, but async.c overlooked it. The race condition probably cannot occur unless there are multiple NOTIFY senders in action, since an individual backend doesn't send NOTIFY signals until well after it's done committing. But if two senders commit in close succession, it's certainly possible that we could see the second sender's message within the race condition window while responding to the signal from the first one. Per bug #9557 from Marko Tiikkaja. This patch is slightly more invasive than what he proposed, since it removes the now-redundant TransactionIdDidAbort call. Back-patch to 9.0, where the current NOTIFY implementation was introduced.

* Only WAL-log the modified portion in an UPDATE, if possible.Heikki Linnakangas2014-03-12
| | | | | | | | | When a row is updated, and the new tuple version is put on the same page as the old one, only WAL-log the part of the new tuple that's not identical to the old. This saves significantly on the amount of WAL that needs to be written, in the common case that most fields are not modified.

* Allow opclasses to provide tri-valued GIN consistent functions.Heikki Linnakangas2014-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the GIN "fast scan" feature, GIN can skip items without fetching all the keys for them, if it can prove that they don't match regardless of those keys. So far, it has done the proving by calling the boolean consistent function with all combinations of TRUE/FALSE for the unfetched keys, but since that's O(n^2), it becomes unfeasible with more than a few keys. We can avoid calling consistent with all the combinations, if we can tell the operator class implementation directly which keys are unknown. This commit includes a triConsistent function for the built-in array and tsvector opclasses. Alexander Korotkov, with some changes by me.
* In WAL replay, restore GIN metapage unconditionally to avoid torn page.Heikki Linnakangas2014-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We don't take a full-page image of the GIN metapage; instead, the WAL record contains all the information required to reconstruct it from scratch. But to avoid torn page hazards, we must re-initialize it from the WAL record every time, even if it already has a greater LSN, similar to how normal full page images are restored. This was highly unlikely to cause any problems in practice, because the GIN metapage is small. We rely on an update smaller than a 512 byte disk sector to be atomic elsewhere, at least in pg_control. But better safe than sorry, and this would be easy to overlook if more fields are added to the metapage so that it's no longer small. Reported by Noah Misch. Backpatch to all supported versions.
* Fix tracking of psql script line numbers during \copy from another place.Tom Lane2014-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 08146775acd8bfe0fcc509c71857abb928697171 changed do_copy() to temporarily scribble on pset.cur_cmd_source. That was a mighty ugly bit of code in any case, but in particular it broke handleCopyIn's ability to tell whether it was reading from the current script source file (in which case pset.lineno should be incremented for each line of COPY data), or from someplace else (in which case it shouldn't). The former case still worked, the latter not so much. The visible effect was that line numbers reported for errors in a script file would be wrong if there were an earlier \copy that was reading anything other than inline-in-the-script-file data. To fix, introduce another pset field that holds the file do_copy wants the COPY code to use. This is a little bit ugly, but less so than passing the file down explicitly through several layers that aren't COPY-specific. Extracted from a larger patch by Kumar Rajeev Rastogi; that patch also changes printing of COPY command tags, which is not a bug fix and shouldn't get back-patched. This particular idea was from a suggestion by Amit Khandekar, if I'm reading the thread correctly. Back-patch to 9.2 where the faulty code was introduced.
* Allow dynamic shared memory segments to be kept until shutdown.Robert Haas2014-03-10
| | | | | Amit Kapila, reviewed by Kyotaro Horiguchi, with some further changes by me.
* Allow logical decoding via the walsender interface.Robert Haas2014-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order for this to work, walsenders need the optional ability to connect to a database, so the "replication" keyword now allows true or false, for backward-compatibility, and the new value "database" (which causes the "dbname" parameter to be respected). walsender needs to loop not only when idle but also when sending decoded data to the user and when waiting for more xlog data to decode. This means that there are now three separate loops inside walsender.c; although some refactoring has been done here, this is still a bit ugly. Andres Freund, with contributions from Álvaro Herrera, and further review by me.
* Teach on_exit_reset() to discard pending cleanups for dsm.Robert Haas2014-03-10
| | | | | | | | | If a postmaster child invokes fork() and then calls on_exit_reset, that should be sufficient to let it exit() without breaking anything, but dynamic shared memory broke that by not updating on_exit_reset() to discard callbacks registered with dynamic shared memory segments. Per investigation of a complaint from Tom Lane.
