* Rename SLRU elements in view pg_stat_slruAlvaro Herrera2024-02-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new names are intended to match those in an upcoming patch that adds a few GUCs to configure the SLRU buffer sizes. Backwards compatibility concern: this changes the accepted names for function pg_stat_slru_rest(). Since this function recognizes "any other string" as a request to reset the entry for "other", this means that calling it with the old names would silently reset "other" instead of doing nothing or throwing an error.

* Introduce sequence_*() access functionsMichael Paquier2024-02-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Similarly to tables and indexes, these functions are able to open relations with a sequence relkind, which is useful to make a distinction with the other relation kinds. Previously, commands/sequence.c used a mix of table_{close,open}() and relation_{close,open}() routines when manipulating sequence relations, so this clarifies the code. A direct effect of this change is to align the error messages produced when attempting DDLs for sequences on relations with an unexpected relkind, like a table or an index with ALTER SEQUENCE, providing an extra error detail about the relkind of the relation used in the DDL query.

* Promote assertion about !ReindexIsProcessingIndex to runtime error.Tom Lane2024-02-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When this assertion was installed (in commit d2f60a3ab), I thought it was only for catching server logic errors that caused accesses to catalogs that were undergoing index rebuilds. However, it will also fire in case of a user-defined index expression that attempts to access its own table. We occasionally see reports of people trying to do that, and typically getting unintelligible low-level errors as a result. We can provide a more on-point message by making this a regular runtime check. While at it, adjust the similar error check in systable_beginscan_ordered to use the same message text. That one is (probably) not reachable without a coding bug, but we might as well use a translatable message if we have one. Per bug #18363 from Alexander Lakhin. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* 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
* Add a new slot sync worker to synchronize logical slots.Amit Kapila2024-02-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By enabling slot synchronization, all the failover logical replication slots on the primary (assuming configurations are appropriate) are automatically created on the physical standbys and are synced periodically. The slot sync worker on the standby server pings the primary server at regular intervals to get the necessary failover logical slots information and create/update the slots locally. The slots that no longer require synchronization are automatically dropped by the worker. The nap time of the worker is tuned according to the activity on the primary. The slot sync worker waits for some time before the next synchronization, with the duration varying based on whether any slots were updated during the last cycle. A new parameter sync_replication_slots enables or disables this new process. On promotion, the slot sync worker is shut down by the startup process to drop any temporary slots acquired by the slot sync worker and to prevent the worker from trying to fetch the failover slots. A functionality to allow logical walsenders to wait for the physical will be done in a subsequent commit.

* Give SMgrRelation pointers a well-defined lifetime.Heikki Linnakangas2024-01-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After calling smgropen(), it was not clear how long you could continue to use the result, because various code paths including cache invalidation could call smgrclose(), which freed the memory. Guarantee that the object won't be destroyed until the end of the current transaction, or in recovery, the commit/abort record that destroys the underlying storage. smgrclose() is now just an alias for smgrrelease(). It closes files and forgets all state except the rlocator, but keeps the SMgrRelation object valid. A new smgrdestroy() function is used by rare places that know there should be no other references to the SMgrRelation. The short version: * smgrclose() is now just an alias for smgrrelease(). It releases resources, but doesn't destroy until EOX * smgrdestroy() now frees memory, and should rarely be used. Existing code should be unaffected, but it is now possible for code that has an SMgrRelation object to use it repeatedly during a transaction as long as the storage hasn't been physically dropped. Such code would normally hold a lock on the relation. This also replaces the "ownership" mechanism of SMgrRelations with a pin counter. An SMgrRelation can now be "pinned", which prevents it from being destroyed at end of transaction. There can be multiple pins on the same SMgrRelation. In practice, the pin mechanism is only used by the relcache, so there cannot be more than one pin on the same SMgrRelation.

Eliminate that behavioral difference by considering vacrel->do_index_vacuuming in both cases. Also, make lazy_scan_heap() responsible for deciding whether to update the FSM, instead of doing it inside lazy_scan_noprune().

The ANALYZE code internally continues to represent the default statistics target by -1, so that that code can avoid having to deal with null values. But that is now contained to the ANALYZE code. Only the DDL code deals with attstattarget possibly null. For system columns, the field is now always null. The ANALYZE code skips system columns anyway.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The brinbuildCallbackParallel callback used by parallel BRIN builds did not consider that the parallel table scans may be synchronized, starting from an arbitrary block and then wrap around. If this happened and the scan actually did wrap around, tuples from the beginning of the table were added to the last range produced by the same worker. The index would be missing range at the beginning of the table, while the last range would be too wide. This would not produce incorrect query results, but it'd be less efficient. Fixed by checking for both past and future ranges in the callback. The worker may produce multiple summaries for the same page range, but the leader will merge them as if the summaries came from different workers.

* Fix incorrect data type choices in some read and write calls.Tom Lane2023-12-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Recently-introduced code in reconstruct.c was using "unsigned" to store the result of read(), pg_pread(), or write(). This is completely bogus: it breaks subsequent tests for the result being negative, as we're being reminded of by a chorus of buildfarm warnings. Switch to "int" as was doubtless intended. (There are several other uses of "unsigned" in this file that also look poorly chosen to me, but for now I'm just trying to clean up the buildfarm.) A larger problem is that "int" is not necessarily wide enough to hold the result: per POSIX, all these functions return ssize_t. In places where the requested read or write length clearly fits in int, that's academic. It may be academic anyway as long as we constrain individual data files to 1GB, since even a readv or writev-like operation would then not be responsible for transferring more than 1GB. Nonetheless it seems like trouble waiting to happen, so I made a pass over readv and writev calls and fixed the result variables where that seemed appropriate. We might want to think about changing some of the fd.c functions to return ssize_t too, for future-proofing; but I didn't tackle that here.

Instead of relying on _bt_first() this commit introduces code that memorizes whether there was at least one match on the page. If that's true we know that keys required for opposite-direction scan are satisfied as soon as corresponding values are not NULLs. Also, this commit simplifies the description for the optimization of keys required for the current direction scan. Now the flag used for this is named continuescanPrechecked and means exactly that *continuescan flag is known to be true for the last item on the page.

* Avoid trying to fetch metapage of an SPGist partitioned index.Tom Lane2023-12-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is necessary when spgcanreturn() is invoked on a partitioned index, and the failure might be reachable in other scenarios as well. The rest of what spgGetCache() does is perfectly sensible for a partitioned index, so we should allow it to go through. I think the main takeaway from this is that we lack sufficient test coverage for non-btree partitioned indexes. Therefore, I added simple test cases for brin and gin as well as spgist (hash and gist AMs were covered already in indexing.sql). Per bug #18256 from Alexander Lakhin. Although the known test case only fails since v16 (3c569049b), I've got no faith at all that there aren't other ways to reach this problem; so back-patch to all supported branches.

* Add support for incremental backup.Robert Haas2023-12-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To take an incremental backup, you use the new replication command UPLOAD_MANIFEST to upload the manifest for the prior backup. This prior backup could either be a full backup or another incremental backup. You then use BASE_BACKUP with the INCREMENTAL option to take the backup. pg_basebackup now has an --incremental=PATH_TO_MANIFEST option to trigger this behavior. An incremental backup is like a regular full backup except that some relation files are replaced with files with names like INCREMENTAL.${ORIGINAL_NAME}, and the backup_label file contains additional lines identifying it as an incremental backup. The new pg_combinebackup tool can be used to reconstruct a data directory from a full backup and a series of incremental backups. Patch by me. Reviewed by Matthias van de Meent, Dilip Kumar, Jakub Wartak, Peter Eisentraut, and Álvaro Herrera. Thanks especially to Jakub for incredibly helpful and extensive testing.

* Add a new WAL summarizer process.Robert Haas2023-12-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When active, this process writes WAL summary files to $PGDATA/pg_wal/summaries. Each summary file contains information for a certain range of LSNs on a certain TLI. For each relation, it stores a "limit block" which is 0 if a relation is created or destroyed within a certain range of WAL records, or otherwise the shortest length to which the relation was truncated during that range of WAL records, or otherwise InvalidBlockNumber. In addition, it stores a list of blocks which have been modified during that range of WAL records, but excluding blocks which were removed by truncation after they were modified and never subsequently modified again. In other words, it tells us which blocks need to copied in case of an incremental backup covering that range of WAL records. But this doesn't yet add the capability to actually perform an incremental backup; the next patch will do that. A new parameter summarize_wal enables or disables this new background process. The background process also automatically deletes summary files that are older than wal_summarize_keep_time, if that parameter has a non-zero value and the summarizer is configured to run. Patch by me, with some design help from Dilip Kumar and Andres Freund. Reviewed by Matthias van de Meent, Dilip Kumar, Jakub Wartak, Peter Eisentraut, and Álvaro Herrera.

* Prevent tuples to be marked as dead in subtransactions on standbysMichael Paquier2023-12-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Dead tuples are ignored and are not marked as dead during recovery, as it can lead to MVCC issues on a standby because its xmin may not match with the primary. This information is tracked by a field called "xactStartedInRecovery" in the transaction state data, switched on when starting a transaction in recovery. Unfortunately, this information was not correctly tracked when starting a subtransaction, because the transaction state used for the subtransaction did not update "xactStartedInRecovery" based on the state of its parent. This would cause index scans done in subtransactions to return inconsistent data, depending on how the xmin of the primary and/or the standby evolved. This is broken since the introduction of hot standby in efc16ea52067, so backpatch all the way down.

| | | | | | | | | | | | This GUC was intended as a debugging help in the 9.0 area when hot standby and streaming replication were being developped, able to offer more information at LOG level rather than DEBUGn. There are more tools available these days that are able to offer rather equivalent information, like pg_waldump introduced in 9.3. It is not obvious how this facility is useful these days, so let's remove it. Author: Bharath Rupireddy Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/ZXEXEAUVFrvpquSd@paquier.xyz

There are times when _bt_walk_left() doesn't hold either a lock or a pin on any page, so clearly this can't be true. _bt_walk_left() is even prepared to deal with concurrent deletion of both the original page and any pages to its left.
