* Custom reloptions for table AMAlexander Korotkov2024-04-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Let table AM define custom reloptions for its tables. This allows specifying AM-specific parameters by the WITH clause when creating a table. The reloptions, which could be used outside of table AM, are now extracted into the CommonRdOptions data structure. These options could be by decision of table AM directly specified by a user or calculated in some way. The new test module test_tam_options evaluates the ability to set up custom reloptions and calculate fields of CommonRdOptions on their base. The code may use some parts from prior work by Hao Wu.

* Remove unused #include's from backend .c filesPeter Eisentraut2024-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | as determined by include-what-you-use (IWYU) While IWYU also suggests to *add* a bunch of #include's (which is its main purpose), this patch does not do that. In some cases, a more specific #include replaces another less specific one. Some manual adjustments of the automatic result: - IWYU currently doesn't know about includes that provide global variable declarations (like -Wmissing-variable-declarations), so those includes are being kept manually. - All includes for port(ability) headers are being kept for now, to play it safe. - No changes of catalog/pg_foo.h to catalog/pg_foo_d.h, to keep the patch from exploding in size. Note that this patch touches just *.c files, so nothing declared in header files changes in hidden ways. As a small example, in src/backend/access/transam/rmgr.c, some IWYU pragma annotations are added to handle a special case there.

* Introduce a new smgr bulk loading facility.Heikki Linnakangas2024-02-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new facility makes it easier to optimize bulk loading, as the logic for buffering, WAL-logging, and syncing the relation only needs to be implemented once. It's also less error-prone: We have had a number of bugs in how a relation is fsync'd - or not - at the end of a bulk loading operation. By centralizing that logic to one place, we only need to write it correctly once. The new facility is faster for small relations: Instead of of calling smgrimmedsync(), we register the fsync to happen at next checkpoint, which avoids the fsync latency. That can make a big difference if you are e.g. restoring a schema-only dump with lots of relations. It is also slightly more efficient with large relations, as the WAL logging is performed multiple pages at a time. That avoids some WAL header overhead. The sorted GiST index build did that already, this moves the buffering to the new facility. The changes to pageinspect GiST test needs an explanation: Before this patch, the sorted GiST index build set the LSN on every page to the special GistBuildLSN value, not the LSN of the WAL record, even though they were WAL-logged. There was no particular need for it, it just happened naturally when we wrote out the pages before WAL-logging them. Now we WAL-log the pages first, like in B-tree build, so the pages are stamped with the record's real LSN. When the build is not WAL-logged, we still use GistBuildLSN. To make the test output predictable, use an unlogged index. Reviewed-by: Andres Freund Discussion: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/30e8f366-58b3-b239-c521-422122dd5150%40iki.fi

* Introduce PG_IO_ALIGN_SIZE and align all I/O buffers.Thomas Munro2023-04-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to have the option to use O_DIRECT/FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING in a later commit, we need the addresses of user space buffers to be well aligned. The exact requirements vary by OS and file system (typically sectors and/or memory pages). The address alignment size is set to 4096, which is enough for currently known systems: it matches modern sectors and common memory page size. There is no standard governing O_DIRECT's requirements so we might eventually have to reconsider this with more information from the field or future systems. Aligning I/O buffers on memory pages is also known to improve regular buffered I/O performance. Three classes of I/O buffers for regular data pages are adjusted: (1) Heap buffers are now allocated with the new palloc_aligned() or MemoryContextAllocAligned() functions introduced by commit 439f6175. (2) Stack buffers now use a new struct PGIOAlignedBlock to respect PG_IO_ALIGN_SIZE, if possible with this compiler. (3) The buffer pool is also aligned in shared memory. WAL buffers were already aligned on XLOG_BLCKSZ. It's possible for XLOG_BLCKSZ to be configured smaller than PG_IO_ALIGNED_SIZE and thus for O_DIRECT WAL writes to fail to be well aligned, but that's a pre-existing condition and will be addressed by a later commit. BufFiles are not yet addressed (there's no current plan to use O_DIRECT for those, but they could potentially get some incidental speedup even in plain buffered I/O operations through better alignment). If we can't align stack objects suitably using the compiler extensions we know about, we disable the use of O_DIRECT by setting PG_O_DIRECT to 0. This avoids the need to consider systems that have O_DIRECT but can't align stack objects the way we want; such systems could in theory be supported with more work but we don't currently know of any such machines, so it's easier to pretend there is no O_DIRECT support instead. That's an existing and tested class of system. Add assertions that all buffers passed into smgrread(), smgrwrite() and smgrextend() are correctly aligned, unless PG_O_DIRECT is 0 (= stack alignment tricks may be unavailable) or the block size has been set too small to allow arrays of buffers to be all aligned.

* Add doubly linked count list implementationDavid Rowley2022-11-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have various requirements when using a dlist_head to keep track of the number of items in the list. This, traditionally, has been done by maintaining a counter variable in the calling code. Here we tidy this up by adding "dclist", which is very similar to dlist but also keeps track of the number of items stored in the list. Callers may use the new dclist_count() function when they need to know how many items are stored. Obtaining the count is an O(1) operation. For simplicity reasons, dclist and dlist both use dlist_node as their node type and dlist_iter/dlist_mutable_iter as their iterator type. dclists have all of the same functionality as dlists except there is no function named dclist_delete(). To remove an item from a list dclist_delete_from() must be used. This requires knowing which dclist the given item is stored in. Additionally, here we also convert some dlists where additional code exists to keep track of the number of items stored and to make these use dclists instead.

* Restore pg_pread and friends.Thomas Munro2022-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commits cf112c12 and a0dc8271 were a little too hasty in getting rid of the pg_ prefixes where we use pread(), pwrite() and vectored variants. We dropped support for ancient Unixes where we needed to use lseek() to implement replacements for those, but it turns out that Windows also changes the current position even when you pass in an offset to ReadFile() and WriteFile() if the file handle is synchronous, despite its documentation saying otherwise. Switching to asynchronous file handles would fix that, but have other complications. For now let's just put back the pg_ prefix and add some comments to highlight the non-standard side-effect, which we can now describe as Windows-only.

* Expand the use of get_dirent_type(), shaving a few calls to stat()/lstat()Michael Paquier2022-09-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Several backend-side loops scanning one or more directories with ReadDir() (WAL segment recycle/removal in xlog.c, backend-side directory copy, temporary file removal, configuration file parsing, some logical decoding logic and some pgtz stuff) already know the type of the entry being scanned thanks to the dirent structure associated to the entry, on platforms where we know about DT_REG, DT_DIR and DT_LNK to make the difference between a regular file, a directory and a symbolic link. Relying on the direct structure of an entry saves a few system calls to stat() and lstat() in the loops updated here, shaving some code while on it. The logic of the code remains the same, calling stat() or lstat() depending on if it is necessary to look through symlinks.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pread() and pwrite() are in SUSv2, and all targeted Unix systems have them. Previously, we defined pg_pread and pg_pwrite to emulate these function with lseek() on old Unixen. The names with a pg_ prefix were a reminder of a portability hazard: they might change the current file position. That hazard is gone, so we can drop the prefixes. Since the remaining replacement code is Windows-only, move it into src/port/win32p{read,write}.c, and move the declarations into src/include/port/win32_port.h. No need for vestigial HAVE_PREAD, HAVE_PWRITE macros as they were only used for declarations in port.h which have now moved into win32_port.h.

* Change internal RelFileNode references to RelFileNumber or RelFileLocator.Robert Haas2022-07-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have been using the term RelFileNode to refer to either (1) the integer that is used to name the sequence of files for a certain relation within the directory set aside for that tablespace/database combination; or (2) that value plus the OIDs of the tablespace and database; or occasionally (3) the whole series of files created for a relation based on those values. Using the same name for more than one thing is confusing. Replace RelFileNode with RelFileNumber when we're talking about just the single number, i.e. (1) from above, and with RelFileLocator when we're talking about all the things that are needed to locate a relation's files on disk, i.e. (2) from above. In the places where we refer to (3) as a relfilenode, instead refer to "relation storage". Since there is a ton of SQL code in the world that knows about pg_class.relfilenode, don't change the name of that column, or of other SQL-facing things that derive their name from it. On the other hand, do adjust closely-related internal terminology. For example, the structure member names dbNode and spcNode appear to be derived from the fact that the structure itself was called RelFileNode, so change those to dbOid and spcOid. Likewise, various variables with names like rnode and relnode get renamed appropriately, according to how they're being used in context. Hopefully, this is clearer than before. It is also preparation for future patches that intend to widen the relfilenumber fields from its current width of 32 bits. Variables that store a relfilenumber are now declared as type RelFileNumber rather than type Oid; right now, these are the same, but that can now more easily be changed.

* Replace RelationOpenSmgr() with RelationGetSmgr().Tom Lane2021-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The idea behind this patch is to design out bugs like the one fixed by commit 9d523119f. Previously, once one did RelationOpenSmgr(rel), it was considered okay to access rel->rd_smgr directly for some not-very-clear interval. But since that pointer will be cleared by relcache flushes, we had bugs arising from overreliance on a previous RelationOpenSmgr call still being effective. Now, very little code except that in rel.h and relcache.c should ever touch the rd_smgr field directly. The normal coding rule is to use RelationGetSmgr(rel) and not expect the result to be valid for longer than one smgr function call. There are a couple of places where using the function every single time seemed like overkill, but they are now annotated with large warning comments. Amul Sul, after an idea of mine.

* Accept slightly-filled pages for tuples larger than fillfactor.Noah Misch2021-03-30

* Avoid possible crash while finishing up a heap rewrite.Tom Lane2021-03-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | end_heap_rewrite was not careful to ensure that the target relation is open at the smgr level before performing its final smgrimmedsync. In ordinary cases this is no problem, because it would have been opened earlier during the rewrite. However a crash can be reproduced by re-clustering an empty table with CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS enabled. Although that exact scenario does not crash in v13, I think that's a chance result of unrelated planner changes, and the problem is likely still reachable with other test cases. The true proximate cause of this failure is commit c6b92041d, which replaced a call to heap_sync (which was careful about opening smgr) with a direct call to smgrimmedsync. Hence, back-patch to v13.

* Remove CheckpointLock.Robert Haas2021-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Up until now, we've held this lock when performing a checkpoint or restartpoint, but commit 076a055acf3c55314de267c62b03191586d79cf6 back in 2004 and commit 7e48b77b1cebb9a43f9fdd6b17128a0ba36132f9 from 2009, taken together, have removed all need for this. In the present code, there's only ever one process entitled to attempt a checkpoint: either the checkpointer, during normal operation, or the postmaster, during single-user operation. So, we don't need the lock. One possible concern in making this change is that it means that a substantial amount of code where HOLD_INTERRUPTS() was previously in effect due to the preceding LWLockAcquire() will now be running without that. This could mean that ProcessInterrupts() gets called in places from which it didn't before. However, this seems unlikely to do very much, because the checkpointer doesn't have any signal mapped to die(), so it's not clear how, for example, ProcDiePending = true could happen in the first place. Similarly with ClientConnectionLost and recovery conflicts. Also, if there are any such problems, we might want to fix them rather than reverting this, since running lots of code with interrupt handling suspended is generally bad.

* Improve hash_create()'s API for some added robustness.Tom Lane2020-12-15

This is in hopes of preventing recurrences of the type of oversight fixed in commit a1b8aa1e4 (i.e., mistakenly omitting HASH_BLOBS). Also, when HASH_STRINGS is specified, insist that the keysize be more than 8 bytes. This is a heuristic, but it should catch accidental use of HASH_STRINGS for integer or pointer keys. (Nearly all existing use-cases set the keysize to NAMEDATALEN or more, so there's little reason to think this restriction should be problematic.) Tweak hash_create() to insist that the HASH_ELEM flag be set, and remove the defaults it had for keysize and entrysize. Since those defaults were undocumented and basically useless, no callers omitted HASH_ELEM anyway. Also, remove memset's zeroing the HASHCTL parameter struct from those callers that had one. This has never been really necessary, and while it wasn't a bad coding convention it was confusing that some callers did it and some did not. We might as well save a few cycles by standardizing on "not". Also improve the documentation for hash_create(). In passing, improve reinit.c's usage of a hash table by storing the key as a binary Oid rather than a string; and, since that's a temporary hash table, allocate it in CurrentMemoryContext for neatness.

* Rename some toasting functions based on whether they are heap-specific.Robert Haas2019-10-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The old names for the attribute-detoasting functions names included the word "heap," which seems outdated now that the heap is only one of potentially many table access methods. On the other hand, toast_insert_or_update and toast_delete are heap-specific, so rename them by adding "heap_" as a prefix. Not all of the work of making the TOAST system fully accessible to AMs other than the heap is done yet, but there seems to be little harm in getting this renaming out of the way now. Commit 8b94dab06617ef80a0901ab103ebd8754427ef5a already divided up the functions among various files partially according to whether it was intended that they should be heap-specific or AM-agnostic, so this is just clarifying the division contemplated by that commit.

* Tighten use of OpenTransientFile and CloseTransientFileMichael Paquier2019-03-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes two sets of issues related to the use of transient files in the backend: 1) OpenTransientFile() has been used in some code paths with read-write flags while read-only is sufficient, so switch those calls to be read-only where necessary. These have been reported by Joe Conway. 2) When opening transient files, it is up to the caller to close the file descriptors opened. In error code paths, CloseTransientFile() gets called to clean up things before issuing an error. However in normal exit paths, a lot of callers of CloseTransientFile() never actually reported errors, which could leave a file descriptor open without knowing about it. This is an issue I complained about a couple of times, but never had the courage to write and submit a patch, so here we go. Note that one frontend code path is impacted by this commit so as an error is issued when fetching control file data, making backend and frontend to be treated consistently.

* Do not decode TOAST data for table rewritesTomas Vondra2018-11-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During table rewrites (VACUUM FULL and CLUSTER), the main heap is logged using XLOG / FPI records, and thus (correctly) ignored in decoding. But the associated TOAST table is WAL-logged as plain INSERT records, and so was logically decoded and passed to reorder buffer. That has severe consequences with TOAST tables of non-trivial size. Firstly, reorder buffer has to keep all those changes, possibly spilling them to a file, incurring I/O costs and disk space. Secondly, ReoderBufferCommit() was stashing all those TOAST chunks into a hash table, which got discarded only after processing the row from the main heap. But as the main heap is not decoded for rewrites, this never happened, so all the TOAST data accumulated in memory, resulting either in excessive memory consumption or OOM. The fix is simple, as commit e9edc1ba already introduced infrastructure (namely HEAP_INSERT_NO_LOGICAL flag) to skip logical decoding of TOAST tables, but it only applied it to system tables. So simply use it for all TOAST data in raw_heap_insert(). That would however solve only the memory consumption issue - the TOAST changes would still be decoded and added to the reorder buffer, and spilled to disk (although without TOAST tuple data, so much smaller). But we can solve that by tweaking DecodeInsert() to just ignore such INSERT records altogether, using XLH_INSERT_CONTAINS_NEW_TUPLE flag, instead of skipping them later in ReorderBufferCommit().

* PANIC on fsync() failure.Thomas Munro2018-11-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On some operating systems, it doesn't make sense to retry fsync(), because dirty data cached by the kernel may have been dropped on write-back failure. In that case the only remaining copy of the data is in the WAL. A subsequent fsync() could appear to succeed, but not have flushed the data. That means that a future checkpoint could apparently complete successfully but have lost data. Therefore, violently prevent any future checkpoint attempts by panicking on the first fsync() failure. Note that we already did the same for WAL data; this change extends that behavior to non-temporary data files. Provide a GUC data_sync_retry to control this new behavior, for users of operating systems that don't eject dirty data, and possibly forensic/testing uses. If it is set to on and the write-back error was transient, a later checkpoint might genuinely succeed (on a system that does not throw away buffers on failure); if the error is permanent, later checkpoints will continue to fail. The GUC defaults to off, meaning that we panic. Back-patch to all supported releases. There is still a narrow window for error-loss on some operating systems: if the file is closed and later reopened and a write-back error occurs in the intervening time, but the inode has the bad luck to be evicted due to memory pressure before we reopen, we could miss the error. A later patch will address that with a scheme for keeping files with dirty data open at all times, but we judge that to be too complicated to back-patch.

* Fix logical decoding error when system table w/ toast is repeatedly rewritten.Andres Freund2018-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Repeatedly rewriting a mapped catalog table with VACUUM FULL or CLUSTER could cause logical decoding to fail with: ERROR, "could not map filenode \"%s\" to relation OID" To trigger the problem the rewritten catalog had to have live tuples with toasted columns. The problem was triggered as during catalog table rewrites the heap_insert() check that prevents logical decoding information to be emitted for system catalogs, failed to treat the new heap's toast table as a system catalog (because the new heap is not recognized as a catalog table via RelationIsLogicallyLogged()). The relmapper, in contrast to the normal catalog contents, does not contain historical information. After a single rewrite of a mapped table the new relation is known to the relmapper, but if the table is rewritten twice before logical decoding occurs, the relfilenode cannot be mapped to a relation anymore. Which then leads us to error out. This only happens for toast tables, because the main table contents aren't re-inserted with heap_insert(). The fix is simple, add a new heap_insert() flag that prevents logical decoding information from being emitted, and accept during decoding that there might not be tuple data for toast tables. Unfortunately that does not fix pre-existing logical decoding errors. Doing so would require not throwing an error when a filenode cannot be mapped to a relation during decoding, and that seems too likely to hide bugs. If it's crucial to fix decoding for an existing slot, temporarily changing the ERROR in ReorderBufferCommit() to a WARNING appears to be the best fix.

* Address set of issues with errno handlingMichael Paquier2018-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | System calls mixed up in error code paths are causing two issues which several code paths have not correctly handled: 1) For write() calls, sometimes the system may return less bytes than what has been written without errno being set. Some paths were careful enough to consider that case, and assumed that errno should be set to ENOSPC, other calls missed that. 2) errno generated by a system call is overwritten by other system calls which may succeed once an error code path is taken, causing what is reported to the user to be incorrect. This patch uses the brute-force approach of correcting all those code paths. Some refactoring could happen in the future, but this is let as future work, which is not targeted for back-branches anyway.
