* Use FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER in struct varlena.Tom Lane2015-02-20
| | | | | | | This forces some minor coding adjustments in tuptoaster.c and inv_api.c, but the new coding there is cleaner anyway. Michael Paquier

* Add defenses against running with a wrong selection of LOBLKSIZE.Tom Lane2014-06-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's critical that the backend's idea of LOBLKSIZE match the way data has actually been divided up in pg_largeobject. While we don't provide any direct way to adjust that value, doing so is a one-line source code change and various people have expressed interest recently in changing it. So, just as with TOAST_MAX_CHUNK_SIZE, it seems prudent to record the value in pg_control and cross-check that the backend's compiled-in setting matches the on-disk data. Also tweak the code in inv_api.c so that fetches from pg_largeobject explicitly verify that the length of the data field is not more than LOBLKSIZE. Formerly we just had Asserts() for that, which is no protection at all in production builds. In some of the call sites an overlength data value would translate directly to a security-relevant stack clobber, so it seems worth one extra runtime comparison to be sure. In the back branches, we can't change the contents of pg_control; but we can still make the extra checks in inv_api.c, which will offer some amount of protection against running with the wrong value of LOBLKSIZE.
* pgindent run for 9.4Bruce Momjian2014-05-06
| | | | | This includes removing tabs after periods in C comments, which was applied to back branches, so this change should not effect backpatching.

| | | | | Update all files in head, and files COPYRIGHT and legal.sgml in all back branches.
* Fix snapshot leak if lo_open called on non-existent object.Heikki Linnakangas2013-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | lo_open registers the currently active snapshot, and checks if the large object exists after that. Normally, snapshots registered by lo_open are unregistered at end of transaction when the lo descriptor is closed, but if we error out before the lo descriptor is added to the list of open descriptors, it is leaked. Fix by moving the snapshot registration to after checking if the large object exists. Reported by Pavel Stehule. Backpatch to 8.4. The snapshot registration system was introduced in 8.4, so prior versions are not affected (and not supported, anyway).
* Use an MVCC snapshot, rather than SnapshotNow, for catalog scans.Robert Haas2013-07-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SnapshotNow scans have the undesirable property that, in the face of concurrent updates, the scan can fail to see either the old or the new versions of the row. In many cases, we work around this by requiring DDL operations to hold AccessExclusiveLock on the object being modified; in some cases, the existing locking is inadequate and random failures occur as a result. This commit doesn't change anything related to locking, but will hopefully pave the way to allowing lock strength reductions in the future. The major issue has held us back from making this change in the past is that taking an MVCC snapshot is significantly more expensive than using a static special snapshot such as SnapshotNow. However, testing of various worst-case scenarios reveals that this problem is not severe except under fairly extreme workloads. To mitigate those problems, we avoid retaking the MVCC snapshot for each new scan; instead, we take a new snapshot only when invalidation messages have been processed. The catcache machinery already requires that invalidation messages be sent before releasing the related heavyweight lock; else other backends might rely on locally-cached data rather than scanning the catalog at all. Thus, making snapshot reuse dependent on the same guarantees shouldn't break anything that wasn't already subtly broken. Patch by me. Review by Michael Paquier and Andres Freund.

* Remove unnecessary overhead in backend's large-object operations.Tom Lane2012-10-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Do read/write permissions checks at most once per large object descriptor, not once per lo_read or lo_write call as before. The repeated tests were quite useless in the read case since the snapshot-based tests were guaranteed to produce the same answer every time. In the write case, the extra tests could in principle detect revocation of write privileges after a series of writes has started --- but there's a race condition there anyway, since we'd check privileges before performing and certainly before committing the write. So there's no real advantage to checking every single time, and we might as well redefine it as "only check the first time". On the same reasoning, remove the LargeObjectExists checks in inv_write and inv_truncate. We already checked existence when the descriptor was opened, and checking again doesn't provide any real increment of safety that would justify the cost.
* Code review for 64-bit-large-object patch.Tom Lane2012-10-08
| | | | | | | Fix broken-on-bigendian-machines byte-swapping functions, add missed update of alternate regression expected file, improve error reporting, remove some unnecessary code, sync testlo64.c with current testlo.c (it seems to have been cloned from a very old copy of that), assorted cosmetic improvements.
* Add API for 64-bit large object access. Now users can access up toTatsuo Ishii2012-10-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | 4TB large objects (standard 8KB BLCKSZ case). For this purpose new libpq API lo_lseek64, lo_tell64 and lo_truncate64 are added. Also corresponding new backend functions lo_lseek64, lo_tell64 and lo_truncate64 are added. inv_api.c is changed to handle 64-bit offsets. Patch contributed by Nozomi Anzai (backend side) and Yugo Nagata (frontend side, docs, regression tests and example program). Reviewed by Kohei Kaigai. Committed by Tatsuo Ishii with minor editings.
* Extend object access hook framework to support arguments, and DROP.Robert Haas2012-03-09
| | | | | | | | | This allows loadable modules to get control at drop time, perhaps for the purpose of performing additional security checks or to log the event. The initial purpose of this code is to support sepgsql, but other applications should be possible as well. KaiGai Kohei, reviewed by me.
* Classify DROP operations by whether or not they are user-initiated.Robert Haas2012-01-26
| | | | | | | This doesn't do anything useful just yet, but is intended as supporting infrastructure for allowing sepgsql to sensibly check DROP permissions. KaiGai Kohei and Robert Haas

* Change inv_truncate() to not repeat its systable_getnext_ordered() scan.Tom Lane2011-01-26
| | | | | | | | | | In the case where the initial call of systable_getnext_ordered() returned NULL, this function would nonetheless call it again. That's undefined behavior that only by chance failed to not give visibly incorrect results. Put an if-test around the final loop to prevent that, and in passing improve some comments. No back-patch since there's no actual failure. Per report from YAMAMOTO Takashi.

* Object access hook framework, with post-creation hook.Robert Haas2010-11-25
| | | | | | | | | | After a SQL object is created, we provide an opportunity for security or logging plugins to get control; for example, a security label provider could use this to assign an initial security label to newly created objects. The basic infrastructure is (hopefully) reusable for other types of events that might require similar treatment. KaiGai Kohei, with minor adjustments.

* Fix a couple of snapshot management bugs in the new ResourceOwner world:Alvaro Herrera2008-12-04
| | | | | | | | | | | non-writable large objects need to have their snapshots registered on the transaction resowner, not the current portal's, because it must persist until the large object is closed (which the portal does not). Also, ensure that the serializable snapshot is recorded by the transaction resource owner too, even when a subtransaction has changed the current resource owner before serializable is taken. Per bug reports from Pavan Deolasee.
* Remove all uses of the deprecated functions heap_formtuple, heap_modifytuple,Tom Lane2008-11-02
| | | | | | | | | | | and heap_deformtuple in favor of the newer functions heap_form_tuple et al (which do the same things but use bool control flags instead of arbitrary char values). Eliminate the former duplicate coding of these functions, reducing the deprecated functions to mere wrappers around the newer ones. We can't get rid of them entirely because add-on modules probably still contain many instances of the old coding style. Kris Jurka
* Improve our #include situation by moving pointer types away from theAlvaro Herrera2008-06-19
| | | | | | | corresponding struct definitions. This allows other headers to avoid including certain highly-loaded headers such as rel.h and relscan.h, instead using just relcache.h, heapam.h or genam.h, which are more lightweight and thus cause less unnecessary dependencies.
* Improve snapshot manager by keeping explicit track of snapshots.Alvaro Herrera2008-05-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | There are two ways to track a snapshot: there's the "registered" list, which is used for arbitrary long-lived snapshots; and there's the "active stack", which is used for the snapshot that is considered "active" at any time. This also allows users of snapshots to stop worrying about snapshot memory allocation and freeing, and about using PG_TRY blocks around ActiveSnapshot assignment. This is all done automatically now. As a consequence, this allows us to reset MyProc->xmin when there are no more snapshots registered in the current backend, reducing the impact that long-running transactions have on VACUUM.
* Create new routines systable_beginscan_ordered, systable_getnext_ordered,Tom Lane2008-04-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | systable_endscan_ordered that have API similar to systable_beginscan etc (in particular, the passed-in scankeys have heap not index attnums), but guarantee ordered output, unlike the existing functions. For the moment these are just very thin wrappers around index_beginscan/index_getnext/etc. Someday they might need to get smarter; but for now this is just a code refactoring exercise to reduce the number of direct callers of index_getnext, in preparation for changing that function's API. In passing, remove index_getnext_indexitem, which has been dead code for quite some time, and will have even less use than that in the presence of run-time-lossy indexes.
* Move the HTSU_Result enum definition into snapshot.h, to avoid includingAlvaro Herrera2008-03-26
| | | | | | tqual.h into heapam.h. This makes all inclusion of tqual.h explicit. I also sorted alphabetically the includes on some source files.
* Rename snapmgmt.c/h to snapmgr.c/h, for consistency with other files.Alvaro Herrera2008-03-26
| | | | Per complaint from Tom Lane.
* Separate snapshot management code from tuple visibility code, create aAlvaro Herrera2008-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | snapmgmt.c file for the former. The header files have also been reorganized in three parts: the most basic snapshot definitions are now in a new file snapshot.h, and the also new snapmgmt.h keeps the definitions for snapmgmt.c. tqual.h has been reduced to the bare minimum. This patch is just a first step towards managing live snapshots within a transaction; there is no functionality change. Per my proposal to pgsql-patches on 20080318191940.GB27458@alvh.no-ip.org and subsequent discussion.
* Fix another place that was assuming that a local variable declared asTom Lane2008-03-01
| | | | | | | | "struct varlena" would be at least word-aligned. Per buildfarm results from gypsy_moth. I did a little bit of trawling for other instances of this coding pattern, and didn't find any; but if we turn up any more of them I think we'd better revert the "char [4]" patch and find another way of making tuptoaster.c alignment-safe.

* Support varlena fields with single-byte headers and unaligned storage.Tom Lane2007-04-06
| | | | | | | | | This commit breaks any code that assumes that the mere act of forming a tuple (without writing it to disk) does not "toast" any fields. While all available regression tests pass, I'm not totally sure that we've fixed every nook and cranny, especially in contrib. Greg Stark with some help from Tom Lane

* Replace direct assignments to VARATT_SIZEP(x) with SET_VARSIZE(x, len).Tom Lane2007-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | Get rid of VARATT_SIZE and VARATT_DATA, which were simply redundant with VARSIZE and VARDATA, and as a consequence almost no code was using the longer names. Rename the length fields of struct varlena and various derived structures to catch anyplace that was accessing them directly; and clean up various places so caught. In itself this patch doesn't change any behavior at all, but it is necessary infrastructure if we hope to play any games with the representation of varlena headers. Greg Stark and Tom Lane

This fixes race conditions in which someone else commits a change to the relation's catalog entries while we are in process of doing relcache load. Problems of that ilk have been reported sporadically for years, but it was not really practical to fix until recently --- for instance, the recent addition of WAL-log support for in-place updates helped. Along the way, remove pg_am.amconcurrent: all AMs are now expected to support concurrent update.

* Revise large-object access routines to avoid running with CurrentMemoryContextTom Lane2006-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | set to the large object context ("fscxt"), as this is inevitably a source of transaction-duration memory leaks. Not sure why we'd not noticed it before; maybe people weren't touching a whole lot of LOs in the same transaction before the 8.1 pg_dump changes. Per report from Wayne Conrad. Backpatched as far as 8.1, but the problem doubtless goes all the way back. I'm disinclined to spend the time to try to verify that the older branches would still work if patched, seeing that this code was significantly modified for 8.0 and again for 8.1, and that we don't have any trouble reports before 8.1. (Maybe the leaks were smaller before?)
