* Improve the performance of relation deletes during recovery.Fujii Masao2018-07-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When multiple relations are deleted at the same transaction, the files of those relations are deleted by one call to smgrdounlinkall(), which leads to scan whole shared_buffers only one time. OTOH, previously, during recovery, smgrdounlink() (not smgrdounlinkall()) was called for each file to delete, which led to scan shared_buffers multiple times. Obviously this could cause to increase the WAL replay time very much especially when shared_buffers was huge. To alleviate this situation, this commit changes the recovery so that it also calls smgrdounlinkall() only one time to delete multiple relation files. This is just fix for oversight of commit 279628a0a7, not new feature. So, per discussion on pgsql-hackers, we concluded to backpatch this to all supported versions.

* 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.

* Prevent hard failures of standbys caused by recycled WAL segmentsMichael Paquier2018-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a standby's WAL receiver stops reading WAL from a WAL stream, it writes data to the current WAL segment without having priorily zero'ed the page currently written to, which can cause the WAL reader to read junk data from a past recycled segment and then it would try to get a record from it. While sanity checks in place provide most of the protection needed, in some rare circumstances, with chances increasing when a record header crosses a page boundary, then the startup process could fail violently on an allocation failure, as follows: FATAL: invalid memory alloc request size XXX This is confusing for the user and also unhelpful as this requires in the worst case a manual restart of the instance, impacting potentially the availability of the cluster, and this also makes WAL data look like it is in a corrupted state. The chances of seeing failures are higher if the connection between the standby and its root node is unstable, causing WAL pages to be written in the middle. A couple of approaches have been discussed, like zero-ing new WAL pages within the WAL receiver itself but this has the disadvantage of impacting performance of any existing instances as this breaks the sequential writes done by the WAL receiver. This commit deals with the problem with a more simple approach, which has no performance impact without reducing the detection of the problem: if a record is found with a length higher than 1GB for backends, then do not try any allocation and report a soft failure which will force the standby to retry reading WAL. It could be possible that the allocation call passes and that an unnecessary amount of memory is allocated, however follow-up checks on records would just fail, making this allocation short-lived anyway. This patch owes a great deal to Tsunakawa Takayuki for reporting the failure first, and then discussing a couple of potential approaches to the problem. Backpatch down to 9.5, which is where palloc_extended has been introduced.

* Remove AELs from subxids correctly on standbySimon Riggs2018-06-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Issues relate only to subtransactions that hold AccessExclusiveLocks when replayed on standby. Prior to PG10, aborting subtransactions that held an AccessExclusiveLock failed to release the lock until top level commit or abort. 49bff5300d527 fixed that. However, 49bff5300d527 also introduced a similar bug where subtransaction commit would fail to release an AccessExclusiveLock, leaving the lock to be removed sometimes early and sometimes late. This commit fixes that bug also. Backpatch to PG10 needed. Tested by observation. Note need for multi-node isolationtester to improve test coverage for this and other HS cases.

* Fix scenario where streaming standby gets stuck at a continuation record.Heikki Linnakangas2018-05-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Ignore nextOid when replaying an ONLINE checkpoint.Tom Lane2018-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The nextOid value is from the start of the checkpoint and may well be stale compared to values from more recent XLOG_NEXTOID records. Previously, we adopted it anyway, allowing the OID counter to go backwards during a crash. While this should be harmless, it contributed to the severity of the bug fixed in commit 0408e1ed5, by allowing duplicate TOAST OIDs to be assigned immediately following a crash. Without this error, that issue would only have arisen when TOAST objects just younger than a multiple of 2^32 OIDs were deleted and then not vacuumed in time to avoid a conflict.

* Further cleanup of client dependencies on src/include/catalog headers.Tom Lane2018-04-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 9c0a0de4c, I'd failed to notice that catalog/catalog.h should also be considered a frontend-unsafe header, because it includes (and needs) the full form of pg_class.h, not to mention relcache.h. However, various frontend code was depending on it to get TABLESPACE_VERSION_DIRECTORY, so refactoring of some sort is called for. The cleanest answer seems to be to move TABLESPACE_VERSION_DIRECTORY, as well as the OIDCHARS symbol, to common/relpath.h. Do that, and mop up inclusions as necessary. (I found that quite a few current users of catalog/catalog.h don't seem to need it at all anymore, apparently as a result of the refactorings that created common/relpath.[hc]. And initdb.c needed it only as a route to pg_class_d.h.) Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/6629.1523294509@sss.pgh.pa.us

Convert mkdir() calls in the backend to MakePGDirectory() if the original call used default permissions (always the case for regular PG directories).

* 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.

* Allow memory contexts to have both fixed and variable ident strings.Tom Lane2018-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Originally, we treated memory context names as potentially variable in all cases, and therefore always copied them into the context header. Commit 9fa6f00b1 rethought this a little bit and invented a distinction between fixed and variable names, skipping the copy step for the former. But we can make things both simpler and more useful by instead allowing there to be two parts to a context's identification, a fixed "name" and an optional, variable "ident". The name supplied in the context create call is now required to be a compile-time-constant string in all cases, as it is never copied but just pointed to. The "ident" string, if wanted, is supplied later. This is needed because typically we want the ident to be stored inside the context so that it's cleaned up automatically on context deletion; that means it has to be copied into the context before we can set the pointer. The cost of this approach is basically just an additional pointer field in struct MemoryContextData, which isn't much overhead, and is bought back entirely in the AllocSet case by not needing a headerSize field anymore, since we no longer have to cope with variable header length. In addition, we can simplify the internal interfaces for memory context creation still further, saving a few cycles there. And it's no longer true that a custom identifier disqualifies a context from participating in aset.c's freelist scheme, so possibly there's some win on that end. All the places that were using non-compile-time-constant context names are adjusted to put the variable info into the "ident" instead. This allows more effective identification of those contexts in many cases; for example, subsidary contexts of relcache entries are now identified by both type (e.g. "index info") and relname, where before you got only one or the other. Contexts associated with PL function cache entries are now identified more fully and uniformly, too. I also arranged for plancache contexts to use the query source string as their identifier. This is basically free for CachedPlanSources, as they contained a copy of that string already. We pay an extra pstrdup to do it for CachedPlans. That could perhaps be avoided, but it would make things more fragile (since the CachedPlanSource is sometimes destroyed first). I suspect future improvements in error reporting will require CachedPlans to have a copy of that string anyway, so it's not clear that it's worth moving mountains to avoid it now. This also changes the APIs for context statistics routines so that the context-specific routines no longer assume that output goes straight to stderr, nor do they know all details of the output format. This is useful immediately to reduce code duplication, and it also allows for external code to do something with stats output that's different from printing to stderr. The reason for pushing this now rather than waiting for v12 is that it rethinks some of the API changes made by commit 9fa6f00b1. Seems better for extension authors to endure just one round of API changes not two. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAB=Je-FdtmFZ9y9REHD7VsSrnCkiBhsA4mdsLKSPauwXtQBeNA@mail.gmail.com

* Report an ERROR if a parallel worker fails to start properly.Robert Haas2018-01-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 28724fd90d2f85a0573a8107b48abad062a86d83 fixed things so that if a background worker fails to start due to fork() failure or because it is terminated before startup succeeds, BGWH_STOPPED will be reported. However, that only helps if the code that uses the background worker machinery notices the change in status, and the code in parallel.c did not. To fix that, do two things. First, make sure that when a worker exits, it triggers the leader to read from error queues. That way, if a worker which has attached to an error queue exits uncleanly, the leader is sure to throw some error, either the contents of the ErrorResponse sent by the worker, or "lost connection to parallel worker" if it exited without sending one. To cover the case where the worker never starts up in the first place or exits before attaching to the error queue, the ParallelContext now keeps track of which workers have sent at least one message via the error queue. A worker which sends no messages by the time the parallel operation finishes will be checked to see whether it exited before attaching to the error queue; if so, a new error message, "parallel worker failed to initialize", will be reported. If not, we'll continue to wait until it either starts up and exits cleanly, starts up and exits uncleanly, or fails to start, and then take the appropriate action.

* Cancel CV sleep during subtransaction abort.Robert Haas2017-12-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Generally, error recovery paths that need to do things like LWLockReleaseAll and pgstat_report_wait_end also need to call ConditionVariableCancelSleep, but AbortSubTransaction was missed. Since subtransaction abort might destroy up the DSM segment that contains the ConditionVariable stored in cv_sleep_target, this can result in a crash for anything using condition variables. Reported and diagnosed by Andres Freund. Discussion: http://postgr.es/m/20171221110048.rxk6464azzl5t2fi@alap3.anarazel.de
* 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.

* Rethink MemoryContext creation to improve performance.Tom Lane2017-12-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes a number of interrelated changes to reduce the overhead involved in creating/deleting memory contexts. The key ideas are: * Include the AllocSetContext header of an aset.c context in its first malloc request, rather than allocating it separately in TopMemoryContext. This means that we now always create an initial or "keeper" block in an aset, even if it never receives any allocation requests. * Create freelists in which we can save and recycle recently-destroyed asets (this idea is due to Robert Haas). * In the common case where the name of a context is a constant string, just store a pointer to it in the context header, rather than copying the string. The first change eliminates a palloc/pfree cycle per context, and also avoids bloat in TopMemoryContext, at the price that creating a context now involves a malloc/free cycle even if the context never receives any allocations. That would be a loser for some common usage patterns, but recycling short-lived contexts via the freelist eliminates that pain. Avoiding copying constant strings not only saves strlen() and strcpy() overhead, but is an essential part of the freelist optimization because it makes the context header size constant. Currently we make no attempt to use the freelist for contexts with non-constant names. (Perhaps someday we'll need to think harder about that, but in current usage, most contexts with custom names are long-lived anyway.) The freelist management in this initial commit is pretty simplistic, and we might want to refine it later --- but in common workloads that will never matter because the freelists will never get full anyway. To create a context with a non-constant name, one is now required to call AllocSetContextCreateExtended and specify the MEMCONTEXT_COPY_NAME option. AllocSetContextCreate becomes a wrapper macro, and it includes a test that will complain about non-string-literal context name parameters on gcc and similar compilers. An unfortunate side effect of making AllocSetContextCreate a macro is that one is now *required* to use the size parameter abstraction macros (ALLOCSET_DEFAULT_SIZES and friends) with it; the pre-9.6 habit of writing out individual size parameters no longer works unless you switch to AllocSetContextCreateExtended. Internally to the memory-context-related modules, the context creation APIs are simplified, removing the rather baroque original design whereby a context-type module called mcxt.c which then called back into the context-type module. That saved a bit of code duplication, but not much, and it prevented context-type modules from exercising control over the allocation of context headers. In passing, I converted the test-and-elog validation of aset size parameters into Asserts to save a few more cycles. The original thought was that callers might compute size parameters on the fly, but in practice nobody does that, so it's useless to expend cycles on checking those numbers in production builds. Also, mark the memory context method-pointer structs "const", just for cleanliness. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2264.1512870796@sss.pgh.pa.us
