* For wal_consistency_checking, mask page checksum as well as page LSN.Robert Haas2017-09-22
| | | | | | | | If the LSN is different, the checksum will be different, too. Ashwin Agrawal, reviewed by Michael Paquier and Kuntal Ghosh Discussion: http://postgr.es/m/CALfoeis5iqrAU-+JAN+ZzXkpPr7+-0OAGv7QUHwFn=-wDy4o4Q@mail.gmail.com
* Add WAL consistency checking facility.Robert Haas2017-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the new GUC wal_consistency_checking is set to a non-empty value, it triggers recording of additional full-page images, which are compared on the standby against the results of applying the WAL record (without regard to those full-page images). Allowable differences such as hints are masked out, and the resulting pages are compared; any difference results in a FATAL error on the standby. Kuntal Ghosh, based on earlier patches by Michael Paquier and Heikki Linnakangas. Extensively reviewed and revised by Michael Paquier and by me, with additional reviews and comments from Amit Kapila, Álvaro Herrera, Simon Riggs, and Peter Eisentraut.

* Fix various common mispellings.Greg Stark2016-06-03
| | | | | | | | | | Mostly these are just comments but there are a few in documentation and a handful in code and tests. Hopefully this doesn't cause too much unnecessary pain for backpatching. I relented from some of the most common like "thru" for that reason. The rest don't seem numerous enough to cause problems. Thanks to Kevin Lyda's tool https://pypi.python.org/pypi/misspellings
* Allocate all page images at once in generic wal interfaceTeodor Sigaev2016-05-17
| | | | | | That reduces number of allocation. Per gripe from Michael Paquier and Tom Lane suggestion.
* Correctly align page's images in generic wal APITeodor Sigaev2016-05-17
| | | | | | | Page image should be MAXALIGN'ed because existing code could directly align pointers in page instead of align offset from beginning of page. Found during play with indexes as extenstion, Alexander Korotkov and me
* 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
* Improve API of GenericXLogRegister().Tom Lane2016-04-12
| | | | | | | | | | Rename this function to GenericXLogRegisterBuffer() to make it clearer what it does, and leave room for other sorts of "register" actions in future. Also, replace its "bool isNew" argument with an integer flags argument, so as to allow adding more flags in future without an API break. Alexander Korotkov, adjusted slightly by me
* In generic WAL application and replay, ensure page "hole" is always zero.Tom Lane2016-04-12
| | | | | | | | | | | The previous coding could allow the contents of the "hole" between pd_lower and pd_upper to diverge during replay from what it had been when the update was originally applied. This would pose a problem if checksums were in use, and in any case would complicate forensic comparisons between master and slave servers. So force the "hole" to contain zeroes, both at initial application of a generically-logged action, and at replay. Alexander Korotkov, adjusted slightly by me
* Further minor improvement in generic_xlog.c: always say REGBUF_STANDARD.Tom Lane2016-04-10
| | | | | | | | | | | Since we're requiring pages handled by generic_xlog.c to be standard format, specify REGBUF_STANDARD when doing a full-page image, so that xloginsert.c can compress out the "hole" between pd_lower and pd_upper. Given the current API in which this path will be taken only for a newly initialized page, the hole is likely to be particularly large in such cases, so that this oversight could easily be performance-significant. I don't notice any particular change in the runtime of contrib/bloom's regression test, though.
* Micro-optimize GenericXLogFinish().Tom Lane2016-04-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make the inner comparison loops of computeDelta() as tight as possible by pulling considerations of valid and invalid ranges out of the inner loops, and extending a match or non-match detection as far as possible before deciding what to do next. To keep this tractable, give up the possibility of merging fragments across the pd_lower to pd_upper gap. The fraction of pages where that could happen (ie, there are 4 or fewer bytes in the gap, *and* data changes immediately adjacent to it on both sides) is too small to be worth spending cycles on. Also, avoid two BLCKSZ-length memcpy()s by computing the delta before moving data into the target buffer, instead of after. This doesn't save nearly as many cycles as being tenser about computeDelta(), but it still seems worth doing. On my machine, this patch cuts a full 40% off the runtime of contrib/bloom's regression test.
* Get rid of GenericXLogUnregister().Tom Lane2016-04-09
| | | | | | | | | | | This routine is unsafe as implemented, because it invalidates the page image pointers returned by previous GenericXLogRegister() calls. Rather than complicate the API or the implementation to avoid that, let's just get rid of it; the use-case for having it seems much too thin to justify a lot of work here. While at it, do some wordsmithing on the SGML docs for generic WAL.
* Code review/prettification for generic_xlog.c.Tom Lane2016-04-09
| | | | | | | | | Improve commentary, use more specific names for the delta fields, const-ify pointer arguments where possible, avoid assuming that initializing only the first element of a local array will guarantee that the remaining elements end up as we need them. (I think that code in generic_redo actually worked, but only because InvalidBuffer is zero; this is a particularly ugly way of depending on that ...)
* Run pgindent on generic_xlog.c.Tom Lane2016-04-09
| | | | | This code desperately needs some micro-optimization, and I'd like it to be formatted a bit more nicely while I work on it.
* 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.
* Add Generic WAL interfaceTeodor Sigaev2016-04-01
This interface is designed to give an access to WAL for extensions which could implement new access method, for example. Previously it was impossible because restoring from custom WAL would need to access system catalog to find a redo custom function. This patch suggests generic way to describe changes on page with standart layout. Bump XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC because of new record type.
