* Fix code for re-finding scan position in a multicolumn GIN index.Tom Lane2020-08-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | collectMatchBitmap() needs to re-find the index tuple it was previously looking at, after transiently dropping lock on the index page it's on. The tuple should still exist and be at its prior position or somewhere to the right of that, since ginvacuum never removes tuples but concurrent insertions could add one. However, there was a thinko in that logic, to the effect of expecting any inserted tuples to have the same index "attnum" as what we'd been scanning. Since there's no physical separation of tuples with different attnums, it's not terribly hard to devise scenarios where this fails, leading to transient "lost saved point in index" errors. (While I've duplicated this with manual testing, it seems impossible to make a reproducible test case with our available testing technology.) Fix by just continuing the scan when the attnum doesn't match. While here, improve the error message used if we do fail, so that it matches the wording used in btree for a similar case. collectMatchBitmap()'s posting-tree code path was previously not exercised at all by our regression tests. While I can't make a regression test that exhibits the bug, I can at least improve the code coverage here, so do that. The test case I made for this is an extension of one added by 4b754d6c1, so it only works in HEAD and v13; didn't seem worth trying hard to back-patch it. Per bug #16595 from Jesse Kinkead. This has been broken since multicolumn capability was added to GIN (commit 27cb66fdf), so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16595-633118be8eef9ce2@postgresql.org
* Improve the vacuum error context phase information.Amit Kapila2020-08-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We were displaying the wrong phase information for 'info' message in the index clean up phase because we were switching to the previous phase a bit early. We were also not displaying context information for heap phase unless the block number is valid which is fine for error cases but for messages at 'info' or lower error level it appears to be inconsistent with index phase information.

* Prevent concurrent SimpleLruTruncate() for any given SLRU.Noah Misch2020-08-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The SimpleLruTruncate() header comment states the new coding rule. To achieve this, add locktype "frozenid" and two LWLocks. This closes a rare opportunity for data loss, which manifested as "apparent wraparound" or "could not access status of transaction" errors. Data loss is more likely in pg_multixact, due to released branches' thin margin between multiStopLimit and multiWrapLimit. If a user's physical replication primary logged ": apparent wraparound" messages, the user should rebuild standbys of that primary regardless of symptoms. At less risk is a cluster having emitted "not accepting commands" errors or "must be vacuumed" warnings at some point. One can test a cluster for this data loss by running VACUUM FREEZE in every database. Back-patch to 9.5 (all supported versions).

* Handle new HOT chains in index-build table scansAlvaro Herrera2020-08-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a table is scanned by heapam_index_build_range_scan (née IndexBuildHeapScan) and the table lock being held allows concurrent data changes, it is possible for new HOT chains to sprout in a page that were unknown when the scan of a page happened. This leads to an error such as ERROR: failed to find parent tuple for heap-only tuple at (X,Y) in table "tbl" because the root tuple was not present when we first obtained the list of the page's root tuples. This can be fixed by re-obtaining the list of root tuples, if we see that a heap-only tuple appears to point to a non-existing root. This was reported by Anastasia as occurring for BRIN summarization (which exists since 9.5), but I think it could theoretically also happen with CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY (much older) or REINDEX CONCURRENTLY (very recent). It seems a happy coincidence that BRIN forces us to backpatch this all the way to 9.5.

* BRIN: Handle concurrent desummarization properlyAlvaro Herrera2020-08-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a page range is desummarized at just the right time concurrently with an index walk, BRIN would raise an error indicating index corruption. This is scary and unhelpful; silently returning that the page range is not summarized is sufficient reaction.

* Rename wal_keep_segments to wal_keep_size.Fujii Masao2020-07-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | max_slot_wal_keep_size that was added in v13 and wal_keep_segments are the GUC parameters to specify how much WAL files to retain for the standby servers. While max_slot_wal_keep_size accepts the number of bytes of WAL files, wal_keep_segments accepts the number of WAL files. This difference of setting units between those similar parameters could be confusing to users. To alleviate this situation, this commit renames wal_keep_segments to wal_keep_size, and make users specify the WAL size in it instead of the number of WAL files. There was also the idea to rename max_slot_wal_keep_size to max_slot_wal_keep_segments, in the discussion. But we have been moving away from measuring in segments, for example, checkpoint_segments was replaced by max_wal_size. So we concluded to rename wal_keep_segments to wal_keep_size. Back-patch to v13 where max_slot_wal_keep_size was added.

* Avoid CREATE INDEX unique index deduplication.Peter Geoghegan2020-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is no advantage to attempting deduplication for a unique index during CREATE INDEX, since there cannot possibly be any duplicates. Doing so wastes cycles due to unnecessary copying. Make sure that we avoid it consistently. We already avoided unique index deduplication in the case where there were some spool2 tuples to merge. That didn't account for the fact that spool2 is removed early/unset in the common case where it has no tuples that need to be merged (i.e. it failed to account for the "spool2 turns out to be unnecessary" optimization in _bt_spools_heapscan()).

* Adjust max_slot_wal_keep_size behavior per reviewAlvaro Herrera2020-06-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In pg_replication_slot, change output from normal/reserved/lost to reserved/extended/unreserved/ lost, which better expresses the possible states particularly near the time where segments are no longer safe but checkpoint has not run yet. Under the new definition, reserved means the slot is consuming WAL that's still under the normal WAL size constraints; extended means it's consuming WAL that's being protected by wal_keep_segments or the slot itself, whose size is below max_slot_wal_keep_size; unreserved means the WAL is no longer safe, but checkpoint has not yet removed those files. Such as slot is in imminent danger, but can still continue for a little while and may catch up to the reserved WAL space. Also, there were some bugs in the calculations used to report the status; fixed those. Backpatch to 13.

* Fix deduplication "single value" strategy bug.Peter Geoghegan2020-06-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It was possible for deduplication's single value strategy to mistakenly believe that a very small duplicate tuple counts as one of the six large tuples that it aims to leave behind after the page finally splits. This could cause slightly suboptimal space utilization with very low cardinality indexes, though only under fairly narrow conditions. To fix, be particular about what kind of tuple counts as a maxpostingsize-capped tuple. This avoids confusion in the event of a small tuple that gets "wedged" between two large tuples, where all tuples on the page are duplicates of the same value.

* Avoid update conflict out serialization anomalies.Peter Geoghegan2020-06-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SSI's HeapCheckForSerializableConflictOut() test failed to correctly handle conditions involving a concurrently inserted tuple which is later concurrently updated by a separate transaction . A SELECT statement that called HeapCheckForSerializableConflictOut() could end up using the same XID (updater's XID) for both the original tuple, and the successor tuple, missing the XID of the xact that created the original tuple entirely. This only happened when neither tuple from the chain was visible to the transaction's MVCC snapshot. The observable symptoms of this bug were subtle. A pair of transactions could commit, with the later transaction failing to observe the effects of the earlier transaction (because of the confusion created by the update to the non-visible row). This bug dates all the way back to commit dafaa3ef, which added SSI. To fix, make sure that we check the xmin of concurrently inserted tuples that happen to also have been updated concurrently.

* Reconsider nbtree page deletion assertion.Peter Geoghegan2020-05-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 624686abcf8 added an assertion that verified that _bt_search successfully relocated the leaf page undergoing deletion. Page deletion cannot deal with the case where the descent stack is to the right of the page, so this seemed critical (deletion can only handle the case where the descent stack is to the left of the leaf/target page). However, the assertion went a bit too far. Since only a buffer pin is held on the leaf page throughout the call to _bt_search, nothing guarantees that it can't have split during this small window. And if does actually split, _bt_search may end up "relocating" a page to the right of the original target leaf page. This scenario seems extremely unlikely, but it must still be considered. Remove the assertion, and document how we cope in this scenario.

* Avoid killing btree items that are already deadAlvaro Herrera2020-05-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | _bt_killitems marks btree items dead when a scan leaves the page where they live, but it does so with only share lock (to improve concurrency). This was historicall okay, since killing a dead item has no consequences. However, with the advent of data checksums and wal_log_hints, this action incurs a WAL full-page-image record of the page. Multiple concurrent processes would write the same page several times, leading to WAL bloat. The probability of this happening can be reduced by only killing items if they're not already dead, so change the code to do that. The problem could eliminated completely by having _bt_killitems upgrade to exclusive lock upon seeing a killable item, but that would reduce concurrency so it's considered a cure worse than the disease.

* Rename SLRU structures and associated LWLocks.Tom Lane2020-05-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Originally, the names assigned to SLRUs had no purpose other than being shmem lookup keys, so not a lot of thought went into them. As of v13, though, we're exposing them in the pg_stat_slru view and the pg_stat_reset_slru function, so it seems advisable to take a bit more care. Rename them to names based on the associated on-disk storage directories (which fortunately we *did* think about, to some extent; since those are also visible to DBAs, consistency seems like a good thing). Also rename the associated LWLocks, since those names are likewise user-exposed now as wait event names. For the most part I only touched symbols used in the respective modules' SimpleLruInit() calls, not the names of other related objects. This renaming could have been taken further, and maybe someday we will do so. But for now it seems undesirable to change the names of any globally visible functions or structs, so some inconsistency is unavoidable. (But I *did* terminate "oldserxid" with prejudice, as I found that name both unreadable and not descriptive of the SLRU's contents.) Table 27.12 needs re-alphabetization now, but I'll leave that till after the other LWLock renamings I have in mind. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/28683.1589405363@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Collect built-in LWLock tranche names statically, not dynamically.Tom Lane2020-05-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is little point in using the LWLockRegisterTranche mechanism for built-in tranche names. It wastes cycles, it creates opportunities for bugs (since failing to register a tranche name is a very hard-to-detect problem), and the lack of any centralized list of names encourages sloppy nonconformity in name choices. Moreover, since we have a centralized list of the tranches anyway in enum BuiltinTrancheIds, we're certainly not buying any flexibility in return for these disadvantages. Hence, nuke all the backend-internal LWLockRegisterTranche calls, and instead provide a const array of the builtin tranche names.

* Improve management of SLRU statistics collection.Tom Lane2020-05-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of re-identifying which statistics bucket to use for a given SLRU on every counter increment, do it once during shmem initialization. This saves a fair number of cycles, and there's no real cost because we could not have a bucket assignment that varies over time or across backends anyway. Also, get rid of the ill-considered decision to let pgstat.c pry directly into SLRU's shared state; it's cleaner just to have slru.c pass the stats bucket number. In consequence of these changes, there's no longer any need to store an SLRU's LWLock tranche info in shared memory, so get rid of that, making this a net reduction in shmem consumption. (That partly reverts fe702a7b3.) This is basically code review for 28cac71bd, so I also cleaned up some comments, removed a dangling extern declaration, fixed some things that should be static and/or const, etc. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/3618.1589313035@sss.pgh.pa.us

And the complexity would not be saved but instead just transferred to the callers of WALRead, which would have to learn how to throw errors from the open_segment callback in addition of, as currently, from pg_pread.) * segment_open no longer receives the 'segcxt' as a separate argument, since it's part of the XLogReaderState argument.

* Adjust "root of to-be-deleted subtree" function.Peter Geoghegan2020-05-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Restructure the function that locates the root of the to-be-deleted subtree during nbtree page deletion. Handle the conditions that make page deletion unsafe in a slightly more uniform way, and acknowledge the fact that the behavior with incomplete splits on internal pages is different (as pointed out in the nbtree README as of commit 35bc0ec7). Also invent new terminology that avoids ambiguity around which pages are about to be deleted. Consistently use the term "to-be-deleted subtree", not the ambiguous term "branch". We were calling the subtree parent page the "top parent page", but that was quite misleading. The top parent page usually refers to a page unlinked from its siblings and marked deleted (during the second stage of page deletion). There was one kind of top parent page that we merely removed a downlink from, and another kind of top parent page that we actually marked deleted. Eliminate the ambiguity by inventing a new term ("subtree parent page") that refers to the former kind of page only.
* Rework XLogReader callback systemAlvaro Herrera2020-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code review for 0dc8ead46363, prompted by a bug closed by 91c40548d5f7. XLogReader's system for opening and closing segments had gotten too complicated, with callbacks being passed at both the XLogReaderAllocate level (read_page) as well as at the WALRead level (segment_open). This was confusing and hard to follow, so restructure things so that these callbacks are passed together at XLogReaderAllocate time, and add another callback to the set (segment_close) to make it a coherent whole. Also, ensure XLogReaderState is an argument to all the callbacks, so that they can grab at the ->private data if necessary. Document the whole arrangement more clearly.

* Refactor nbtree deletion INCOMPLETE_SPLIT check.Peter Geoghegan2020-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Factor out code common to _bt_lock_branch_parent() and _bt_pagedel() into a new utility function. This new function is used to check that the left sibling of a deletion target page does not have the INCOMPLETE_SPLIT page flag set. If it is set then deletion is unsafe; there won't be a usable pivot tuple (with a downlink) in the parent page that points to the deletion target page. The page deletion algorithm is not prepared to deal with that. Also restructure an existing, related utility function that checks if the right sibling of the target page has the ISHALFDEAD page flag set. This organization highlights the symmetry between the two cases. The goal is to make the design of page deletion clearer. Both functions involve a sibling page with a flag that indicates that there was an interrupted operation (a page split or a page deletion) that resulted in a page pointed to by sibling pages, but not pointed to in the parent. And, both functions indicate if page deletion is unsafe due to the absence of a particular downlink in the parent page.
* Change the display of WAL usage statistics in Explain.Amit Kapila2020-05-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 33e05f89c5, we have added the option to display WAL usage statistics in Explain and auto_explain. The display format used two spaces between each field which is inconsistent with Buffer usage statistics which is using one space between each field. Change the format to make WAL usage statistics consistent with Buffer usage statistics. This commit also changed the usage of "full page writes" to "full page images" for WAL usage statistics to make it consistent with other parts of code and docs.

* Refactor btvacuumpage().Peter Geoghegan2020-05-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove one of the arguments to btvacuumpage(), and give up on the idea that it's a recursive function. We now use the term "backtracking" to refer to the case where an earlier block must be visited to make sure no tuples that need to be removed were missed. Advertising btvacuumpage() as a recursive function was unhelpful. In reality the function always simulates recursion with a loop (it doesn't actually call itself). This wasn't just necessary as a precaution (per the comments mentioning tail recursion), though. There is no reliable natural limit on the number of times we can backtrack. There are important behavioral difference when "recursing"/backtracking, mostly related to page deletion. We don't perform page deletion when backtracking due to the extra complexity. And when we recurse, we're not performing a physical order scan anymore, so we expect fairly different conditions to hold for the page. Structuring the code like this makes it clearer how _bt_pagedel() cooperates with btvacuumpage() and btvacuumscan() (as established in commit b0229f26 and commit 73a076b0).

* Clear up issue with FSM and oldest bpto.xact.Peter Geoghegan2020-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On further reflection, code comments added by commit b0229f26 slightly misrepresented how we determine the oldest bpto.xact for the index. btvacuumpage() does not treat the bpto.xact of a page that it put in the FSM as a candidate to be the oldest deleted page (the delete-marked page that has the oldest bpto.xact XID among all pages encountered). The definition of a deleted page for the purposes of the bpto.xact calculation is different from the definition used by the bulk delete statistics. The bulk delete statistics don't distinguish between pages that were deleted by the current VACUUM, pages deleted by a previous VACUUM operation but not yet recyclable/reusable, and pages that are reusable (though reusable pages are counted separately). Backpatch: 11-, just like commit b0229f26.

* Fix undercounting in VACUUM VERBOSE output.Peter Geoghegan2020-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The logic for determining how many nbtree pages in an index are deleted pages sometimes undercounted pages. Pages that were deleted by the current VACUUM operation (as opposed to some previous VACUUM operation whose deleted pages have yet to be reused) were sometimes overlooked. The final count is exposed to users through VACUUM VERBOSE's "%u index pages have been deleted" output. btvacuumpage() avoided double-counting when _bt_pagedel() deleted more than one page by assuming that only one page was deleted, and that the additional deleted pages would get picked up during a future call to btvacuumpage() by the same VACUUM operation. _bt_pagedel() can legitimately delete pages that the btvacuumscan() scan will not visit again, though, so that assumption was slightly faulty. Fix the accounting by teaching _bt_pagedel() about its caller's requirements. It now only reports on pages that it knows btvacuumscan() won't visit again (including the current btvacuumpage() page), so everything works out in the end. This bug has been around forever. Only backpatch to v11, though, to keep _bt_pagedel() is sync on the branches that have today's bugfix commit b0229f26da. Note that this commit changes the signature of _bt_pagedel(), just like commit b0229f26da.

* Fix bug in nbtree VACUUM "skip full scan" feature.Peter Geoghegan2020-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 857f9c36cda (which taught nbtree VACUUM to skip a scan of the index from btcleanup in situations where it doesn't seem worth it) made VACUUM maintain the oldest btpo.xact among all deleted pages for the index as a whole. It failed to handle all the details surrounding pages that are deleted by the current VACUUM operation correctly (though pages deleted by some previous VACUUM operation were processed correctly). The most immediate problem was that the special area of the page was examined without a buffer pin at one point. More fundamentally, the handling failed to account for the full range of _bt_pagedel() behaviors. For example, _bt_pagedel() sometimes deletes internal pages in passing, as part of deleting an entire subtree with btvacuumpage() caller's page as the leaf level page. The original leaf page passed to _bt_pagedel() might not be the page that it deletes first in cases where deletion can take place. It's unclear how disruptive this bug may have been, or what symptoms users might want to look out for. The issue was spotted during unrelated code review. To fix, push down the logic for maintaining the oldest btpo.xact to _bt_pagedel(). btvacuumpage() is now responsible for pages that were fully deleted by a previous VACUUM operation, while _bt_pagedel() is now responsible for pages that were deleted by the current VACUUM operation (this includes half-dead pages from a previous interrupted VACUUM operation that become fully deleted in _bt_pagedel()). Note that _bt_pagedel() should never encounter an existing deleted page. This commit theoretically breaks the ABI of a stable release by changing the signature of _bt_pagedel(). However, if any third party extension is actually affected by this, then it must already be completely broken (since there are numerous assumptions made in _bt_pagedel() that cannot be met outside of VACUUM). It seems highly unlikely that such an extension actually exists, in any case.
