* Fix and simplify some usages of TimestampDifference().Tom Lane2020-11-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce TimestampDifferenceMilliseconds() to simplify callers that would rather have the difference in milliseconds, instead of the select()-oriented seconds-and-microseconds format. This gets rid of at least one integer division per call, and it eliminates some apparently-easy-to-mess-up arithmetic. Two of these call sites were in fact wrong: * pg_prewarm's autoprewarm_main() forgot to multiply the seconds by 1000, thus ending up with a delay 1000X shorter than intended. That doesn't quite make it a busy-wait, but close. * postgres_fdw's pgfdw_get_cleanup_result() thought it needed to compute microseconds not milliseconds, thus ending up with a delay 1000X longer than intended. Somebody along the way had noticed this problem but misdiagnosed the cause, and imposed an ad-hoc 60-second limit rather than fixing the units. This was relatively harmless in context, because we don't care that much about exactly how long this delay is; still, it's wrong. There are a few more callers of TimestampDifference() that don't have a direct need for seconds-and-microseconds, but can't use TimestampDifferenceMilliseconds() either because they do need microsecond precision or because they might possibly deal with intervals long enough to overflow 32-bit milliseconds. It might be worth inventing another API to improve that, but that seems outside the scope of this patch; so those callers are untouched here. Given the fact that we are fixing some bugs, and the likelihood that future patches might want to back-patch code that uses this new API, back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix minor problems with non-exclusive backup cleanup.Robert Haas2020-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous coding imagined that it could call before_shmem_exit() when a non-exclusive backup began and then remove the previously-added handler by calling cancel_before_shmem_exit() when that backup ended. However, this only works provided that nothing else in the system has registered a before_shmem_exit() hook in the interim, because cancel_before_shmem_exit() is documented to remove a callback only if it is the latest callback registered. It also only works if nothing can ERROR out between the time that sessionBackupState is reset and the time that cancel_before_shmem_exit(), which doesn't seem to be strictly true. To fix, leave the handler installed for the lifetime of the session, arrange to install it just once, and teach it to quietly do nothing if there isn't a non-exclusive backup in process. This was originally committed to master as 303640199d0436c5e7acdf50b837a027b5726594, but I did not back-patch at the time because the consequences were minor. However, now there's been a second report of this causing trouble with a slightly different test case than the one I reported originally, so now I'm back-patching as far as v11 where JIT was introduced.

* Prevent archive recovery from scanning non-existent WAL files.Fujii Masao2020-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously when there were multiple timelines listed in the history file of the recovery target timeline, archive recovery searched all of them, starting from the newest timeline to the oldest one, to find the segment to read. That is, archive recovery had to continuously fail scanning the segment until it reached the timeline that the segment belonged to. These scans for non-existent segment could be harmful on the recovery performance especially when archival area was located on the remote storage and each scan could take a long time. To address the issue, this commit changes archive recovery so that it skips scanning the timeline that the segment to read doesn't belong to. Per discussion, back-patch to all supported versions.

* Fix handling of WAL segments ready to be archived during crash recoveryMichael Paquier2020-04-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 78ea8b5 has fixed an issue related to the recycling of WAL segments on standbys depending on archive_mode. However, it has introduced a regression with the handling of WAL segments ready to be archived during crash recovery, causing those files to be recycled without getting archived. This commit fixes the regression by tracking in shared memory if a live cluster is either in crash recovery or archive recovery as the handling of WAL segments ready to be archived is different in both cases (those WAL segments should not be removed during crash recovery), and by using this new shared memory state to decide if a segment can be recycled or not. Previously, it was not possible to know if a cluster was in crash recovery or archive recovery as the shared state was able to track only if recovery was happening or not, leading to the problem. A set of TAP tests is added to close the gap here, making sure that WAL segments ready to be archived are correctly handled when a cluster is in archive or crash recovery with archive_mode set to "on" or "always", for both standby and primary.

* Avoid assertion failure with targeted recovery in standby mode.Fujii Masao2020-03-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At the end of recovery, standby mode is turned off to re-fetch the last valid record from archive or pg_wal. Previously, if recovery target was reached and standby mode was turned off while the current WAL source was stream, recovery could try to retrieve WAL file containing the last valid record unexpectedly from stream even though not in standby mode. This caused an assertion failure. That is, the assertion test confirms that WAL file should not be retrieved from stream if standby mode is not true. This commit moves back the current WAL source to archive if it's stream even though not in standby mode, to avoid that assertion failure. This issue doesn't cause the server to crash when built with assertion disabled. In this case, the attempt to retrieve WAL file from stream not in standby mode just fails. And then recovery tries to retrieve WAL file from archive or pg_wal. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix failure of archive recovery with recovery_min_apply_delay enabled.Fujii Masao2019-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | recovery_min_apply_delay parameter is intended for use with streaming replication deployments. However, the document clearly explains that the parameter will be honored in all cases if it's specified. So it should take effect even if in archive recovery. But, previously, archive recovery with recovery_min_apply_delay enabled always failed, and caused assertion failure if --enable-caasert is enabled. The cause of this problem is that; the ownership of recoveryWakeupLatch that recovery_min_apply_delay uses was taken only when standby mode is requested. So unowned latch could be used in archive recovery, and which caused the failure. This commit changes recovery code so that the ownership of recoveryWakeupLatch is taken even in archive recovery. Which prevents archive recovery with recovery_min_apply_delay from failing. Back-patch to v9.4 where recovery_min_apply_delay was added.

* 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 assertion failure when updating full_page_writes for checkpointer.Amit Kapila2018-09-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the checkpointer receives a SIGHUP signal to update its configuration, it may need to update the shared memory for full_page_writes and need to write a WAL record for it. Now, it is quite possible that the XLOG machinery has not been initialized by that time and it will lead to assertion failure while doing that. Fix is to allow the initialization of the XLOG machinery outside critical section. This bug has been introduced by the commit 2c03216d83 which added the XLOG machinery initialization in RecoveryInProgress code path.

* Rework activation of commit timestamps during recoveryMichael Paquier2018-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The activation and deactivation of commit timestamp tracking has not been handled consistently for a primary or standbys at recovery. The facility can be activated at three different moments of recovery: - The beginning, where a primary would use the GUC value for the decision-making, and where a standby relies on the contents of the control file. - When replaying a XLOG_PARAMETER_CHANGE record at redo. - The end, where both primary and standby rely on the GUC value. Using the GUC value for a primary at the beginning of recovery causes problems with commit timestamp access when doing crash recovery. Particularly, when replaying transaction commits, it could be possible that an attempt to read commit timestamps is done for a transaction which committed at a moment when track_commit_timestamp was disabled. A test case is added to reproduce the failure. The test works down to v11 as it takes advantage of transaction commits within procedures.

* Avoid using potentially-under-aligned page buffers.Tom Lane2018-09-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a project policy against using plain "char buf[BLCKSZ]" local or static variables as page buffers; preferred style is to palloc or malloc each buffer to ensure it is MAXALIGN'd. However, that policy's been ignored in an increasing number of places. We've apparently got away with it so far, probably because (a) relatively few people use platforms on which misalignment causes core dumps and/or (b) the variables chance to be sufficiently aligned anyway. But this is not something to rely on. Moreover, even if we don't get a core dump, we might be paying a lot of cycles for misaligned accesses. To fix, invent new union types PGAlignedBlock and PGAlignedXLogBlock that the compiler must allocate with sufficient alignment, and use those in place of plain char arrays. I used these types even for variables where there's no risk of a misaligned access, since ensuring proper alignment should make kernel data transfers faster. I also changed some places where we had been palloc'ing short-lived buffers, for coding style uniformity and to save palloc/pfree overhead. Since this seems to be a live portability hazard (despite the lack of field reports), back-patch to all supported versions. Patch by me; thanks to Michael Paquier for review.

* Ensure correct minimum consistent point on standbysMichael Paquier2018-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Startup process has improved its calculation of incorrect minimum consistent point in 8d68ee6, which ensures that all WAL available gets replayed when doing crash recovery, and has introduced an incorrect calculation of the minimum recovery point for non-startup processes, which can cause incorrect page references on a standby when for example the background writer flushed a couple of pages on-disk but was not updating the control file to let a subsequent crash recovery replay to where it should have. The only case where this has been reported to be a problem is when a standby needs to calculate the latest removed xid when replaying a btree deletion record, so one would need connections on a standby that happen just after recovery has thought it reached a consistent point. Using a background worker which is started after the consistent point is reached would be the easiest way to get into problems if it connects to a database. Having clients which attempt to connect periodically could also be a problem, but the odds of seeing this problem are much lower. The fix used is pretty simple, as the idea is to give access to the minimum recovery point written in the control file to non-startup processes so as they use a reference, while the startup process still initializes its own references of the minimum consistent point so as the original problem with incorrect page references happening post-promotion with a crash do not show up.

* Rework order of end-of-recovery actions to delay timeline history writeMichael Paquier2018-07-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A critical failure in some of the end-of-recovery actions before the end-of-recovery record is written can cause PostgreSQL to react inconsistently with the rest of the cluster in the event of a crash before the final record is written. Two such failures are for example an error while processing a two-phase state files or when operating on recovery.conf. With this commit, the failures are still considered FATAL, but the write of the timeline history file is delayed as much as possible so as the window between the moment the file is written and the end-of-recovery record is generated gets minimized. This way, in the event of a crash or a failure, the new timeline decided at promotion will not seem taken by other nodes in the cluster. It is not really possible to reduce to zero this window, hence one could still see failures if a crash happens between the history file write and the end-of-recovery record, so any future code should be careful when adding new end-of-recovery actions. The original report from Magnus Hagander mentioned a renamed recovery.conf as original end-of-recovery failure which caused a timeline to be seen as taken but the subsequent processing on the now-missing recovery.conf cause the startup process to issue stop on FATAL, which at follow-up startup made the system inconsistent because of on-disk changes which already happened. Processing of two-phase state files still needs some work as corrupted entries are simply ignored now. This is left as a future item and this commit fixes the original complain.

* Prevent references to invalid relation pages after fresh promotionMichael Paquier2018-07-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a standby crashes after promotion before having completed its first post-recovery checkpoint, then the minimal recovery point which marks the LSN position where the cluster is able to reach consistency may be set to a position older than the first end-of-recovery checkpoint while all the WAL available should be replayed. This leads to the instance thinking that it contains inconsistent pages, causing a PANIC and a hard instance crash even if all the WAL available has not been replayed for certain sets of records replayed. When in crash recovery, minRecoveryPoint is expected to always be set to InvalidXLogRecPtr, which forces the recovery to replay all the WAL available, so this commit makes sure that the local copy of minRecoveryPoint from the control file is initialized properly and stays as it is while crash recovery is performed. Once switching to archive recovery or if crash recovery finishes, then the local copy minRecoveryPoint can be safely updated. Pavan Deolasee has reported and diagnosed the failure in the first place, and the base fix idea to rely on the local copy of minRecoveryPoint comes from Kyotaro Horiguchi, which has been expanded into a full-fledged patch by me. The test included in this commit has been written by Álvaro Herrera and Pavan Deolasee, which I have modified to make it faster and more reliable with sleep phases. Backpatch down to all supported versions where the bug appears, aka 9.3 which is where the end-of-recovery checkpoint is not run by the startup process anymore.

* 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a continuation record is split so that its first half has already been removed from the master, and is only present in pg_wal, and there is a recycled WAL segment in the standby server that looks like it would contain the second half, recovery would get stuck. The code in XLogPageRead() incorrectly started streaming at the beginning of the WAL record, even if we had already read the first page. Backpatch to 9.4. In principle, older versions have the same problem, but without replication slots, there was no straightforward mechanism to prevent the master from recycling old WAL that was still needed by standby. Without such a mechanism, I think it's reasonable to assume that there's enough slack in how many old segments are kept around to not run into this, or you have a WAL archive.

* Refactor dir/file permissionsStephen Frost2018-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Consolidate directory and file create permissions for tools which work with the PG data directory by adding a new module (common/file_perm.c) that contains variables (pg_file_create_mode, pg_dir_create_mode) and constants to initialize them (0600 for files and 0700 for directories). Convert mkdir() calls in the backend to MakePGDirectory() if the original call used default permissions (always the case for regular PG directories). Add tests to make sure permissions in PGDATA are set correctly by the tools which modify the PG data directory.

* Allow on-line enabling and disabling of data checksumsMagnus Hagander2018-04-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes it possible to turn checksums on in a live cluster, without the previous need for dump/reload or logical replication (and to turn it off). Enabling checkusm starts a background process in the form of a launcher/worker combination that goes through the entire database and recalculates checksums on each and every page. Only when all pages have been checksummed are they fully enabled in the cluster. Any failure of the process will revert to checksums off and the process has to be started. This adds a new WAL record that indicates the state of checksums, so the process works across replicated clusters.

* Ensure that WAL pages skipped by a forced WAL switch are zero-filled.Tom Lane2018-03-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | In the previous coding, skipped pages were mostly zeroes, but they still had valid WAL page headers. That makes them very much less compressible than an unbroken string of zeroes would be --- about 10X worse for bzip2 compression, for instance. We don't need those headers, so tweak the logic so that we zero them out. Chapman Flack, reviewed by Daniel Gustafsson Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/579297F8.7020107@anastigmatix.net

* Fix bug in cancellation of non-exclusive backup to avoid assertion failure.Fujii Masao2017-12-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously an assertion failure occurred when pg_stop_backup() for non-exclusive backup was aborted while it's waiting for WAL files to be archived. This assertion failure happened in do_pg_abort_backup() which was called when a non-exclusive backup was canceled. do_pg_abort_backup() assumes that there is at least one non-exclusive backup running when it's called. But pg_stop_backup() can be canceled even after it marks the end of non-exclusive backup (e.g., during waiting for WAL archiving). This broke the assumption that do_pg_abort_backup() relies on, and which caused an assertion failure. This commit changes do_pg_abort_backup() so that it does nothing when non-exclusive backup has been already marked as completed. That is, the asssumption is also changed, and do_pg_abort_backup() now can handle even the case where it's called when there is no running backup. Backpatch to 9.6 where SQL-callable non-exclusive backup was added.

* Simplify do_pg_start_backup's API by opening pg_tblspc internally.Tom Lane2017-12-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | do_pg_start_backup() expects its callers to pass in an open DIR pointer for the pg_tblspc directory, but there's no apparent advantage in that. It complicates the callers without adding any flexibility, and there's no robustness advantage, since we surely have to be prepared for errors during the scan of pg_tblspc anyway. In fact, by holding an extra kernel resource during operations like the preliminary checkpoint, we might be making things a fraction more failure-prone not less. Hence, remove that argument and open the directory just for the duration of the actual scan. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/28752.1512413887@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Clean up assorted messiness around AllocateDir() usage.Tom Lane2017-12-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a couple of low-probability bugs that could lead to reporting an irrelevant errno value (and hence possibly a wrong SQLSTATE) concerning directory-open or file-open failures. It also fixes places where we took shortcuts in reporting such errors, either by using elog instead of ereport or by using ereport but forgetting to specify an errcode. And it eliminates a lot of just plain redundant error-handling code. In service of all this, export fd.c's formerly-static function ReadDirExtended, so that external callers can make use of the coding pattern dir = AllocateDir(path); while ((de = ReadDirExtended(dir, path, LOG)) != NULL) if they'd like to treat directory-open failures as mere LOG conditions rather than errors. Also fix FreeDir to be a no-op if we reach it with dir == NULL, as such a coding pattern would cause. Then, remove code at many call sites that was throwing an error or log message for AllocateDir failure, as ReadDir or ReadDirExtended can handle that job just fine. Aside from being a net code savings, this gets rid of a lot of not-quite-up-to-snuff reports, as mentioned above. (In some places these changes result in replacing a custom error message such as "could not open tablespace directory" with more generic wording "could not open directory", but it was agreed that the custom wording buys little as long as we report the directory name.) In some other call sites where we can't just remove code, change the error reports to be fully project-style-compliant. Also reorder code in restoreTwoPhaseData that was acquiring a lock between AllocateDir and ReadDir; in the unlikely but surely not impossible case that LWLockAcquire changes errno, AllocateDir failures would be misreported. There is no great value in opening the directory before acquiring TwoPhaseStateLock, so just do it in the other order. Also fix CheckXLogRemoved to guarantee that it preserves errno, as quite a number of call sites are implicitly assuming. (Again, it's unlikely but I think not impossible that errno could change during a SpinLockAcquire. If so, this function was broken for its own purposes as well as breaking callers.) And change a few places that were using not-per-project-style messages, such as "could not read directory" when "could not open directory" is more correct. Back-patch the exporting of ReadDirExtended, in case we have occasion to back-patch some fix that makes use of it; it's not needed right now but surely making it global is pretty harmless. Also back-patch the restoreTwoPhaseData and CheckXLogRemoved fixes. The rest of this is essentially cosmetic and need not get back-patched.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The lower case spellings are C and C++ standard and are used in most parts of the PostgreSQL sources. The upper case spellings are only used in some files/modules. So standardize on the standard spellings. The APIs for ICU, Perl, and Windows define their own TRUE and FALSE, so those are left as is when using those APIs. In code comments, we use the lower-case spelling for the C concepts and keep the upper-case spelling for the SQL concepts. Reviewed-by: Michael Paquier <michael.paquier@gmail.com>

* Refactor new file permission handlingPeter Eisentraut2017-09-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The file handling functions from fd.c were called with a diverse mix of notations for the file permissions when they were opening new files. Almost all files created by the server should have the same permissions set. So change the API so that e.g. OpenTransientFile() automatically uses the standard permissions set, and OpenTransientFilePerm() is a new function that takes an explicit permissions set for the few cases where it is needed. This also saves an unnecessary argument for call sites that are just opening an existing file. While we're reviewing these APIs, get rid of the FileName typedef and use the standard const char * for the file name and mode_t for the file mode. This makes these functions match other file handling functions and removes an unnecessary layer of mysteriousness. We can also get rid of a few casts that way.

* Make WAL segment size configurable at initdb time.Andres Freund2017-09-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For performance reasons a larger segment size than the default 16MB can be useful. A larger segment size has two main benefits: Firstly, in setups using archiving, it makes it easier to write scripts that can keep up with higher amounts of WAL, secondly, the WAL has to be written and synced to disk less frequently. But at the same time large segment size are disadvantageous for smaller databases. So far the segment size had to be configured at compile time, often making it unrealistic to choose one fitting to a particularly load. Therefore change it to a initdb time setting. This includes a breaking changes to the xlogreader.h API, which now requires the current segment size to be configured. For that and similar reasons a number of binaries had to be taught how to recognize the current segment size.

* Fix crash restart bug introduced in 8356753c212.Andres Freund2017-09-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The bug was caused by not re-reading the control file during crash recovery restarts, which lead to an attempt to pfree() shared memory contents. The fix is to re-read the control file, which seems good anyway. It's unclear as of this moment, whether we want to keep the refactoring introduced in the commit referenced above, or come up with an alternative approach. But fixing the bug in the mean time seems like a good idea regardless. A followup commit will introduce regression test coverage for crash restarts.
