* Fix code for re-finding scan position in a multicolumn GIN index.Tom Lane2020-08-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | collectMatchBitmap() needs to re-find the index tuple it was previously looking at, after transiently dropping lock on the index page it's on. The tuple should still exist and be at its prior position or somewhere to the right of that, since ginvacuum never removes tuples but concurrent insertions could add one. However, there was a thinko in that logic, to the effect of expecting any inserted tuples to have the same index "attnum" as what we'd been scanning. Since there's no physical separation of tuples with different attnums, it's not terribly hard to devise scenarios where this fails, leading to transient "lost saved point in index" errors. (While I've duplicated this with manual testing, it seems impossible to make a reproducible test case with our available testing technology.) Fix by just continuing the scan when the attnum doesn't match. While here, improve the error message used if we do fail, so that it matches the wording used in btree for a similar case. collectMatchBitmap()'s posting-tree code path was previously not exercised at all by our regression tests. While I can't make a regression test that exhibits the bug, I can at least improve the code coverage here, so do that. The test case I made for this is an extension of one added by 4b754d6c1, so it only works in HEAD and v13; didn't seem worth trying hard to back-patch it. Per bug #16595 from Jesse Kinkead. This has been broken since multicolumn capability was added to GIN (commit 27cb66fdf), so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16595-633118be8eef9ce2@postgresql.org
* Fix bugs in gin_fuzzy_search_limit processing.Tom Lane2020-04-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | entryGetItem()'s three code paths each contained bugs associated with filtering the entries for gin_fuzzy_search_limit. The posting-tree path failed to advance "advancePast" after having decided to filter an item. If we ran out of items on the current page and needed to advance to the next, what would actually happen is that entryLoadMoreItems() would re-load the same page. Eventually, the random dropItem() test would accept one of the same items it'd previously rejected, and we'd move on --- but it could take awhile with small gin_fuzzy_search_limit. To add insult to injury, this case would inevitably cause entryLoadMoreItems() to decide it needed to re-descend from the root, making things even slower. The posting-list path failed to implement gin_fuzzy_search_limit filtering at all, so that all entries in the posting list would be returned. The bitmap-result path used a "gotitem" variable that it failed to update in the one place where it'd actually make a difference, ie at the one "continue" statement. I think this was unreachable in practice, because if we'd looped around then it shouldn't be the case that the entries on the new page are before advancePast. Still, the "gotitem" variable was contributing nothing to either clarity or correctness, so get rid of it. Refactor all three loops so that the termination conditions are more alike and less unreadable. The code coverage report showed that we had no coverage at all for the re-descend-from-root code path in entryLoadMoreItems(), which seems like a very bad thing, so add a test case that exercises it. We also had exactly no coverage for gin_fuzzy_search_limit, so add a simplistic test case that at least hits those code paths a little bit. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Remove entry tree root conflict checking from GIN predicate lockingAlexander Korotkov2018-12-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | According to README we acquire predicate locks on entry tree leafs and posting tree roots. However, when ginFindLeafPage() is going to lock leaf in exclusive mode, then it checks root for conflicts regardless whether it's a entry or posting tree. Assuming that we never place predicate lock on entry tree root (excluding corner case when root is leaf), this check is redundant. This commit removes this check. Now, root conflict checking is controlled by separate argument of ginFindLeafPage().

* Re-think predicate locking on GIN indexes.Teodor Sigaev2018-05-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The principle behind the locking was not very well thought-out, and not documented. Add a section in the README to explain how it's supposed to work, and change the code so that it actually works that way. This fixes two bugs: 1. If fast update was turned on concurrently, subsequent inserts to the pending list would not conflict with predicate locks that were acquired earlier, on entry pages. The included 'predicate-gin-fastupdate' test demonstrates that. To fix, make all scans acquire a predicate lock on the metapage. That lock represents a scan of the pending list, whether or not there is a pending list at the moment. Forget about the optimization to skip locking/checking for locks, when fastupdate=off. 2. If a scan finds no match, it still needs to lock the entry page. The point of predicate locks is to lock the gabs between values, whether or not there is a match. The included 'predicate-gin-nomatch' test tests that case. In addition to those two bug fixes, this removes some unnecessary locking, following the principle laid out in the README. Because all items in a posting tree have the same key value, a lock on the posting tree root is enough to cover all the items. (With a very large posting tree, it would possibly be better to lock the posting tree leaf pages instead, so that a "skip scan" with a query like "A & B", you could avoid unnecessary conflict if a new tuple is inserted with A but !B. But let's keep this simple.) Also, some spelling fixes.

* Predicate locking in GIN indexTeodor Sigaev2018-03-30
| | | | | | | | | | | Predicate locks are used on per page basis only if fastupdate = off, in opposite case predicate lock on pending list will effectively lock whole index, to reduce locking overhead, just lock a relation.

* Phase 3 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Don't move parenthesized lines to the left, even if that means they flow past the right margin. By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding left parenthesis. However, traditionally, if that resulted in the continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin, then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin, if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of the current statement indent. That makes for a weird mix of indentations unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column limit. This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers. Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are no functional changes here; this simply encapsulates knowledge of the ItemPointerData struct so that a future patch can change things without more breakage. All direct users of ip_blkid and ip_posid are changed to use existing macros ItemPointerGetBlockNumber and ItemPointerGetOffsetNumber respectively.

* Revert no-op changes to BufferGetPage()Kevin Grittner2016-04-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The reverted changes were intended to force a choice of whether any newly-added BufferGetPage() calls needed to be accompanied by a test of the snapshot age, to support the "snapshot too old" feature. Such an accompanying test is needed in about 7% of the cases, where the page is being used as part of a scan rather than positioning for other purposes (such as DML or vacuuming). The additional effort required for back-patching, and the doubt whether the intended benefit would really be there, have indicated it is best just to rely on developers to do the right thing based on comments and existing usage, as we do with many other conventions. This change should have little or no effect on generated executable code. Motivated by the back-patching pain of Tom Lane and Robert Haas
* Fix memory leak in GIN index scans.Tom Lane2016-04-15
| | | | | | | | | | | The code had a query-lifespan memory leak when encountering GIN entries that have posting lists (rather than posting trees, ie, there are a relatively small number of heap tuples containing this index key value). With a suitable data distribution this could add up to a lot of leakage. Problem seems to have been introduced by commit 36a35c550, so back-patch to 9.4. Julien Rouhaud
* Add the "snapshot too old" featureKevin Grittner2016-04-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This feature is controlled by a new old_snapshot_threshold GUC. A value of -1 disables the feature, and that is the default. The value of 0 is just intended for testing. Above that it is the number of minutes a snapshot can reach before pruning and vacuum are allowed to remove dead tuples which the snapshot would otherwise protect. The xmin associated with a transaction ID does still protect dead tuples. A connection which is using an "old" snapshot does not get an error unless it accesses a page modified recently enough that it might not be able to produce accurate results. This is similar to the Oracle feature, and we use the same SQLSTATE and error message for compatibility.
* Modify BufferGetPage() to prepare for "snapshot too old" featureKevin Grittner2016-04-08
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch is a no-op patch which is intended to reduce the chances of failures of omission once the functional part of the "snapshot too old" patch goes in. It adds parameters for snapshot, relation, and an enum to specify whether the snapshot age check needs to be done for the page at this point. This initial patch passes NULL for the first two new parameters and BGP_NO_SNAPSHOT_TEST for the third. The follow-on patch will change the places where the test needs to be made.
* Fix memory leak in repeated GIN index searches.Tom Lane2016-03-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit d88976cfa1302e8d removed this code from ginFreeScanKeys(): - if (entry->list) - pfree(entry->list); evidently in the belief that that ItemPointer array is allocated in the keyCtx and so would be reclaimed by the following MemoryContextReset. Unfortunately, it isn't and it won't. It'd likely be a good idea for that to become so, but as a simple and back-patchable fix in the meantime, restore this code to ginFreeScanKeys(). Also, add a similar pfree to where startScanEntry() is about to zero out entry->list. I am not sure if there are any code paths where this change prevents a leak today, but it seems like cheap future-proofing. In passing, make the initial allocation of so->entries[] use palloc not palloc0. The code doesn't depend on unused entries being zero; if it did, the array-enlargement code in ginFillScanEntry() would be wrong. So using palloc0 initially can only serve to confuse readers about what the invariant is.

* Restructure index access method API to hide most of it at the C level.Tom Lane2016-01-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch reduces pg_am to just two columns, a name and a handler function. All the data formerly obtained from pg_am is now provided in a C struct returned by the handler function. This is similar to the designs we've adopted for FDWs and tablesample methods. There are multiple advantages. For one, the index AM's support functions are now simple C functions, making them faster to call and much less error-prone, since the C compiler can now check function signatures. For another, this will make it far more practical to define index access methods in installable extensions. A disadvantage is that SQL-level code can no longer see attributes of index AMs; in particular, some of the crosschecks in the opr_sanity regression test are no longer possible from SQL. We've addressed that by adding a facility for the index AM to perform such checks instead. (Much more could be done in that line, but for now we're content if the amvalidate functions more or less replace what opr_sanity used to do.) We might also want to expose some sort of reporting functionality, but this patch doesn't do that. Alexander Korotkov, reviewed by Petr Jelínek, and rather heavily editorialized on by me.

* Use a separate memory context for GIN scan keys.Heikki Linnakangas2015-02-04
| | | | | | | | | | It was getting tedious to track and release all the different things that form a scan key. We were leaking at least the queryCategories array, and possibly more, on a rescan. That was visible if a GIN index was used in a nested loop join. This also protects from leaks in extractQuery method. No backpatching, given the lack of complaints from the field. Maybe later, after this has received more field testing.
* Fix query-duration memory leak with GIN rescans.Heikki Linnakangas2015-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The requiredEntries / additionalEntries arrays were not freed in freeScanKeys() like other per-key stuff. It's not obvious, but startScanKey() was only ever called after the keys have been initialized with ginNewScanKey(). That's why it doesn't need to worry about freeing existing arrays. The ginIsNewKey() test in gingetbitmap was never true, because ginrescan free's the existing keys, and it's not OK to call gingetbitmap twice in a row without calling ginrescan in between. To make that clear, remove the unnecessary ginIsNewKey(). And just to be extra sure that nothing funny happens if there is an existing key after all, call freeScanKeys() to free it if it exists. This makes the code more straightforward. (I'm seeing other similar leaks in testing a query that rescans an GIN index scan, but that's a different issue. This just fixes the obvious leak with those two arrays.) Backpatch to 9.4, where GIN fast scan was added.
* Fix bug where GIN scan keys were not initialized with gin_fuzzy_search_limit.Heikki Linnakangas2015-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When gin_fuzzy_search_limit was used, we could jump out of startScan() without calling startScanKey(). That was harmless in 9.3 and below, because startScanKey()() didn't do anything interesting, but in 9.4 it initializes information needed for skipping entries (aka GIN fast scans), and you readily get a segfault if it's not done. Nevertheless, it was clearly wrong all along, so backpatch all the way to 9.1 where the early return was introduced. (AFAICS startScanKey() did nothing useful in 9.3 and below, because the fields it initialized were already initialized in ginFillScanKey(), but I don't dare to change that in a minor release. ginFillScanKey() is always called in gingetbitmap() even though there's a check there to see if the scan keys have already been initialized, because they never are; ginrescan() free's them.) In the passing, remove unnecessary if-check from the second inner loop in startScan(). We already check in the first loop that the condition is true for all entries. Reported by Olaf Gawenda, bug #12694, Backpatch to 9.1 and above, although AFAICS it causes a live bug only in 9.4.

* Fix bugs in GIN "fast scan" with partial match.Heikki Linnakangas2014-04-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | There were a couple of bugs here. First, if the fuzzy limit was exceeded, the loop in entryGetItem might drop out too soon if a whole block needs to be skipped because it's < advancePast ("continue" in a while-loop checks the loop condition too). Secondly, the loop checked when stepping to a new page that there is at least one offset on the page < advancePast, but we cannot rely on that on subsequent calls of entryGetItem, because advancePast might change in between. That caused the skipping loop to read bogus items in the TbmIterateResult's offset array. First item and fix by Alexander Korotkov, second bug pointed out by Fabrízio de Royes Mello, by a small variation of Alexander's test query.

* Initialize the entryRes array between each call to triConsistent.Heikki Linnakangas2014-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The shimTriConstistentFn, which calls the opclass's consistent function with all combinations of TRUE/FALSE for any MAYBE argument, modifies the entryRes array passed by the caller. Change startScanKey to re-initialize it between each call to accommodate that. It's actually a bad habit by shimTriConsistentFn to modify its argument. But the only caller that doesn't already re-initialize the entryRes array was startScanKey, and it's easy for startScanKey to do so. Add a comment to shimTriConsistentFn about that. Note: this does not give a free pass to opclass-provided consistent functions to modify the entryRes argument; shimTriConsistent assumes that they don't, even though it does it itself. While at it, refactor startScanKey to allocate the requiredEntries and additionalEntries after it knows exactly how large they need to be. Saves a little bit of memory, and looks nicer anyway. Per complaint by Tom Lane, buildfarm and the pg_trgm regression test.
* Speed up "rare & frequent" type GIN queries.Heikki Linnakangas2014-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If you have a GIN query like "rare & frequent", we currently fetch all the items that match either rare or frequent, call the consistent function for each item, and let the consistent function filter out items that only match one of the terms. However, if we can deduce that "rare" must be present for the overall qual to be true, we can scan all the rare items, and for each rare item, skip over to the next frequent item with the same or greater TID. That greatly speeds up "rare & frequent" type queries. To implement that, introduce the concept of a tri-state consistent function, where the 3rd value is MAYBE, indicating that we don't know if that term is present. Operator classes only provide a boolean consistent function, so we simulate the tri-state consistent function by calling the boolean function several times, with the MAYBE arguments set to all combinations of TRUE and FALSE. Testing all combinations is only feasible for a small number of MAYBE arguments, but it is envisioned that we'll provide a way for operator classes to provide a native tri-state consistent function, which can be much more efficient. But that is not included in this patch. We were already using that trick to for lossy pages, calling the consistent function with the lossy entry set to TRUE and FALSE. Now that we have the tri-state consistent function, use it for lossy pages too. Alexander Korotkov, with fair amount of refactoring by me.

* Allow skipping some items in a multi-key GIN search.Heikki Linnakangas2014-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | In a multi-key search, ie. something like "col @> 'foo' AND col @> 'bar'", as soon as we find the next item that matches the first criteria, we don't need to check the second criteria for TIDs smaller the first match. That saves a lot of effort, especially if one of the terms is rare, while the second occurs very frequently. Based on ideas from Alexander Korotkov's fast scan patch.
* Compress GIN posting lists, for smaller index size.Heikki Linnakangas2014-01-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | GIN posting lists are now encoded using varbyte-encoding, which allows them to fit in much smaller space than the straight ItemPointer array format used before. The new encoding is used for both the lists stored in-line in entry tree items, and in posting tree leaf pages. To maintain backwards-compatibility and keep pg_upgrade working, the code can still read old-style pages and tuples. Posting tree leaf pages in the new format are flagged with GIN_COMPRESSED flag, to distinguish old and new format pages. Likewise, entry tree tuples in the new format have a GIN_ITUP_COMPRESSED flag set in a bit that was previously unused. This patch bumps GIN_CURRENT_VERSION from 1 to 2. New indexes created with version 9.4 will therefore have version number 2 in the metapage, while old pg_upgraded indexes will have version 1. The code treats them the same, but it might be come handy in the future, if we want to drop support for the uncompressed format. Alexander Korotkov and me. Reviewed by Tomas Vondra and Amit Langote.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a page is deleted, and reused for something else, just as a search is following a rightlink to it from its left sibling, the search would continue scanning whatever the new contents of the page are. That could lead to incorrect query results, or even something more curious if the page is reused for a different kind of a page. To fix, modify the search algorithm to lock the next page before releasing the previous one, and refrain from deleting pages from the leftmost branch of the tree. Add a new Concurrency section to the README, explaining why this works. There is a lot more one could say about concurrency in GIN, but that's for another patch. Backpatch to all supported versions.
