* Include RelFileLocator fields individually in BufferTag.Robert Haas2022-08-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is preparatory work for a project to increase the number of bits in a RelFileNumber from 32 to 56. Along the way, introduce static inline accessor functions for a couple of BufferTag fields. Dilip Kumar, reviewed by me. The overall patch series has also had review at various times from Andres Freund, Ashutosh Sharma, Hannu Krosing, Vignesh C, Álvaro Herrera, and Tom Lane.

* Further reduce warnings with -Wshadow=compatible-localDavid Rowley2022-08-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In a similar effort to f01592f91, here we're targetting fixing the warnings that -Wshadow=compatible-local produces that we can fix by moving a variable to an inner scope to stop that variable from being shadowed by another variable declared somewhere later in the function. All of the warnings being fixed here are changing the scope of variables which are being used as an iterator for a "for" loop. In each instance, the fix happens to be changing the for loop to use the C99 type initialization. Much of this code likely pre-dates our use of C99. Reducing the scope of the outer scoped variable seems like the safest way to fix these. Renaming seems more likely to risk patches using the wrong variable. Reducing the scope is more likely to result in a compilation failure after applying some future patch rather than introducing bugs with it. By my count, this takes the warning count from 129 down to 114. Author: Justin Pryzby Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAApHDvrwLGBP%2BYw9vriayyf%3DXR4uPWP5jr6cQhP9au_kaDUhbA%40mail.gmail.com
* When using the WAL-logged CREATE DATABASE strategy, bulk extend.Robert Haas2022-08-18

* Avoid using list_length() to test for empty list.Tom Lane2022-08-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The standard way to check for list emptiness is to compare the List pointer to NIL; our list code goes out of its way to ensure that that is the only representation of an empty list. (An acceptable alternative is a plain boolean test for non-null pointer, but explicit mention of NIL is usually preferable.) Various places didn't get that memo and expressed the condition with list_length(), which might not be so bad except that there were such a variety of ways to check it exactly: equal to zero, less than or equal to zero, less than one, yadda yadda. In the name of code readability, let's standardize all those spellings as "list == NIL" or "list != NIL". (There's probably some microscopic efficiency gain too, though few of these look to be at all performance-critical.) A very small number of cases were left as-is because they seemed more consistent with other adjacent list_length tests that way.

* Avoid using a fake relcache entry to own an SmgrRelation.Robert Haas2022-08-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If an error occurs before we close the fake relcache entry, the the fake relcache entry will be destroyed by the SmgrRelation will survive until end of transaction. Its smgr_owner pointer ends up pointing to already-freed memory. The original reason for using a fake relcache entry here was to try to avoid reusing an SMgrRelation across a relevant invalidation. To avoid that problem, just call smgropen() again each time we need a reference to it. Hopefully someday we will come up with a more elegant approach, but accessing uninitialized memory is bad so let's do this for now. Dilip Kumar, reviewed by Andres Freund and Tom Lane.

* Replace pgwin32_is_junction() with lstat().Thomas Munro2022-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that lstat() reports junction points with S_IFLNK/S_ISLINK(), and unlink() can unlink them, there is no need for conditional code for Windows in a few places. That was expressed by testing for WIN32 or S_ISLNK, which we can now constant-fold. The coding around pgwin32_is_junction() was a bit suspect anyway, as we never checked for errors, and we also know that errors can be spuriously reported because of transient sharing violations on this OS. The lstat()-based code has handling for that. This also reverts 4fc6b6ee on master only. That was done because lstat() didn't previously work for symlinks (junction points), but now it does.

* Simplify replacement code for preadv and pwritev.Thomas Munro2022-08-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | preadv() and pwritev() are not standardized by POSIX, but appeared in NetBSD in 1999 and were adopted by at least OpenBSD, FreeBSD, DragonFlyBSD, Linux, AIX, illumos and macOS. We don't use them much yet, but an active proposal uses them heavily. In 15, we had two replacement implementations for other OSes: one based on lseek() + -v function if available for true vector I/O, and the other based on a loop over p- function. The former would be an obstacle to hypothetical future multi-threaded code sharing file descriptors, while the latter would not, since commit cf112c12. Furthermore, the number of targeted systems that could benefit from the former's potential upside has dwindled to just one niche OS, since macOS added the functions and we de-supported HP-UX. That doesn't seem like a good trade-off. Therefore, drop the lseek()-based variant, and also the pg_ prefix now that the file position portability hazard is gone. At the time of writing, the only systems in our build farm that lack native preadv/pwritev and thus use fallback code are: * Solaris (but not illumos) * macOS before release 11.0 * Windows With this commit, the above systems will now use the *same* fallback code, the version that loops over pread()/pwrite(). Windows already used that (though a later proposal may include true vector I/O for Windows), so this decision really only affects Solaris, until it gets around to adding these system calls. Also remove some useless includes while here. Reviewed-by: Andres Freund <andres@anarazel.de> Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CA+hUKGJ3LHeP9w5Fgzdr4G8AnEtJ=z=p6hGDEm4qYGEUX5B6fQ@mail.gmail.com

* Use TRUNCATE to preserve relfilenode for pg_largeobject + index.Robert Haas2022-07-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 9a974cbcba005256a19991203583a94b4f9a21a9 arranged to preserve the relfilenode of user tables across pg_upgrade, but failed to notice that pg_upgrade treats pg_largeobject as a user table and thus it needs the same treatment. Otherwise, large objects will appear to vanish after a pg_upgrade. Commit d498e052b4b84ae21b3b68d5b3fda6ead65d1d4d fixed this problem by teaching pg_dump to UPDATE pg_class.relfilenode for pg_largeobject and its index. However, because an UPDATE on the catalog rows doesn't change anything on disk, this can leave stray files behind in the new cluster. They will normally be empty, but it's a little bit untidy. Hence, this commit arranges to do the same thing using DDL. Specifically, it makes TRUNCATE work for the pg_largeobject catalog when in binary-upgrade mode, and it then uses that command in binary-upgrade dumps as a way of setting pg_class.relfilenode for pg_largeobject and its index. That way, the old files are removed from the new cluster. Discussion: http://postgr.es/m/CA+TgmoYYMXGUJO5GZk1-MByJGu_bB8CbOL6GJQC8=Bzt6x6vDg@mail.gmail.com

* Fix ReadRecentBuffer for local buffers.Heikki Linnakangas2022-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It incorrectly used GetBufferDescriptor instead of GetLocalBufferDescriptor, causing it to not find the correct buffer in most cases, and performing an out-of-bounds memory read in the corner case that temp_buffers > shared_buffers. It also bumped the usage-count on the buffer, even if it was previously pinned. That won't lead to crashes or incorrect results, but it's different from what the shared-buffer case does, and different from the usual code in LocalBufferAlloc. Fix that too, and make the code ordering match LocalBufferAlloc() more closely, so that it's easier to verify that it's doing the same thing. Currently, ReadRecentBuffer() is only used with non-temp relations, in WAL redo, so the broken code is currently dead code. However, it could be used by extensions.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 4518c798 blocks signals for a short region of code, but it assumed that whatever called it had the signal mask set to UnBlockSig on entry.

The PG_SETMASK() portability macro couldn't be used for that, which is why it wasn't done before.

* Block signals while allocating DSM memory.Thomas Munro2022-07-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On Linux, we call posix_fallocate() on shm_open()'d memory to avoid later potential SIGBUS (see commit 899bd785). Based on field reports of systems stuck in an EINTR retry loop there, there, we made it possible to break out of that loop via slightly odd coding where the CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() call was somewhat removed from the loop (see commit 422952ee). On further reflection, that was not a great choice for at least two reasons: 1. If interrupts were held, the CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() would do nothing and the EINTR error would be surfaced to the user. 2. If EINTR was reported but neither QueryCancelPending nor ProcDiePending was set, then we'd dutifully retry, but with a bit more understanding of how posix_fallocate() works, it's now clear that you can get into a loop that never terminates. posix_fallocate() is not a function that can do some of the job and tell you about progress if it's interrupted, it has to undo what it's done so far and report EINTR, and if signals keep arriving faster than it can complete (cf recovery conflict signals), you're stuck. Therefore, for now, we'll simply block most signals to guarantee progress. SIGQUIT is not blocked (see InitPostmasterChild()), because its expected handler doesn't return, and unblockable signals like SIGCONT are not expected to arrive at a high rate. For good measure, we'll include the ftruncate() call in the blocked region, and add a retry loop. Back-patch to all supported releases.

* Change internal RelFileNode references to RelFileNumber or RelFileLocator.Robert Haas2022-07-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have been using the term RelFileNode to refer to either (1) the integer that is used to name the sequence of files for a certain relation within the directory set aside for that tablespace/database combination; or (2) that value plus the OIDs of the tablespace and database; or occasionally (3) the whole series of files created for a relation based on those values. Using the same name for more than one thing is confusing. Replace RelFileNode with RelFileNumber when we're talking about just the single number, i.e. (1) from above, and with RelFileLocator when we're talking about all the things that are needed to locate a relation's files on disk, i.e. (2) from above. In the places where we refer to (3) as a relfilenode, instead refer to "relation storage". Since there is a ton of SQL code in the world that knows about pg_class.relfilenode, don't change the name of that column, or of other SQL-facing things that derive their name from it. On the other hand, do adjust closely-related internal terminology. For example, the structure member names dbNode and spcNode appear to be derived from the fact that the structure itself was called RelFileNode, so change those to dbOid and spcOid. Likewise, various variables with names like rnode and relnode get renamed appropriately, according to how they're being used in context. Hopefully, this is clearer than before. It is also preparation for future patches that intend to widen the relfilenumber fields from its current width of 32 bits. Variables that store a relfilenumber are now declared as type RelFileNumber rather than type Oid; right now, these are the same, but that can now more easily be changed.

* Revert 019_replslot_limit.pl related debugging aids.Andres Freund2022-07-05

The only thing left is the retry loop in 019_replslot_limit.pl that avoids spurious failures by retrying a couple times. We haven't seen any hard evidence that this is caused by anything but slow process shutdown. We did not find any cases where walsenders did not vanish after waiting for longer. Therefore there's no reason for this debugging code to remain. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20220530190155.47wr3x2prdwyciah@alap3.anarazel.de Backpatch: 15-

* Harden dsm_impl.c against unexpected EEXIST.Thomas Munro2022-07-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, we trusted the OS not to report EEXIST unless we'd passed in IPC_CREAT | IPC_EXCL or O_CREAT | O_EXCL, as appropriate. Solaris's shm_open() can in fact do that, causing us to crash because we didn't ereport and then we blithely assumed the mapping was successful. Let's treat EEXIST just like any other error, unless we're actually trying to create a new segment. This applies to shm_open(), where this behavior has been seen, and also to the equivalent operations for our sysv and mmap modes just on principle. Based on the underlying reason for the error, namely contention on a lock file managed by Solaris librt for each distinct name, this problem is only likely to happen on 15 and later, because the new shared memory stats system produces shm_open() calls for the same path from potentially large numbers of backends concurrently during authentication. Earlier releases only shared memory segments between a small number of parallel workers under one Gather node. You could probably hit it if you tried hard enough though, and we should have been more defensive in the first place. Therefore, back-patch to all supported releases. Per build farm animal margay. This isn't the end of the story, though, it just changes random crashes into random "File exists" errors; more work needed for a green build farm.

* Fix visibility check when XID is committed in CLOG but not in procarray.Heikki Linnakangas2022-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | TransactionIdIsInProgress had a fast path to return 'false' if the single-item CLOG cache said that the transaction was known to be committed. However, that was wrong, because a transaction is first marked as committed in the CLOG but doesn't become visible to others until it has removed its XID from the proc array. That could lead to an error: ERROR: t_xmin is uncommitted in tuple to be updated or for an UPDATE to go ahead without blocking, before the previous UPDATE on the same row was made visible. The window is usually very short, but synchronous replication makes it much wider, because the wait for synchronous replica happens in that window. Another thing that makes it hard to hit is that it's hard to get such a commit-in-progress transaction into the single item CLOG cache. Normally, if you call TransactionIdIsInProgress on such a transaction, it determines that the XID is in progress without checking the CLOG and without populating the cache. One way to prime the cache is to explicitly call pg_xact_status() on the XID. Another way is to use a lot of subtransactions, so that the subxid cache in the proc array is overflown, making TransactionIdIsInProgress rely on pg_subtrans and CLOG checks. This has been broken ever since it was introduced in 2008, but the race condition is very hard to hit, especially without synchronous replication. There were a couple of reports of the error starting from summer 2021, but no one was able to find the root cause then. TransactionIdIsKnownCompleted() is now unused. In 'master', remove it, but I left it in place in backbranches in case it's used by extensions. Also change pg_xact_status() to check TransactionIdIsInProgress(). Previously, it only checked the CLOG, and returned "committed" before the transaction was actually made visible to other queries. Note that this also means that you cannot use pg_xact_status() to reproduce the bug anymore, even if the code wasn't fixed. Report and analysis by Konstantin Knizhnik. Patch by Simon Riggs, with the pg_xact_status() change added by me.

* Don't trust signalfd() on illumos.Thomas Munro2022-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since commit 6a2a70a02, we've used signalfd() to receive latch wakeups when building with WAIT_USE_EPOLL (default for Linux and illumos), and our traditional self-pipe when falling back to WAIT_USE_POLL (default for other Unixes with neither epoll() nor kqueue()). Unexplained hangs and kernel panics have been reported on illumos systems, apparently linked to this use of signalfd(), leading illumos users and build farm members to have to define WAIT_USE_POLL explicitly as a work-around. A bug report exists at https://www.illumos.org/issues/13700 but no fix is available yet. Let's provide a way for illumos users to go back to self-pipes with epoll(), like releases before 14, and choose that by default. No change for Linux users. To help with development/debugging, macros WAIT_USE_{EPOLL,POLL} and WAIT_USE_{SIGNALFD,SELF_PIPE} can be defined explicitly to override the defaults.

* Be more careful about GucSource for internally-driven GUC settings.Tom Lane2022-06-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The original advice for hard-wired SetConfigOption calls was to use PGC_S_OVERRIDE, particularly for PGC_INTERNAL GUCs. However, that's really overkill for PGC_INTERNAL GUCs, since there is no possibility that we need to override a user-provided setting. Instead use PGC_S_DYNAMIC_DEFAULT in most places, so that the value will appear with source = 'default' in pg_settings and thereby not be shown by psql's new \dconfig command. The one exception is that when changing in_hot_standby in a hot-standby session, we still use PGC_S_OVERRIDE, because people felt that seeing that in \dconfig would be a good thing. Similarly use PGC_S_DYNAMIC_DEFAULT for the auto-tune value of wal_buffers (if possible, that is if wal_buffers wasn't explicitly set to -1), and for the typical 2MB value of max_stack_depth. In combination these changes remove four not-very-interesting entries from the typical output of \dconfig, all of which people fingered as "why is that showing up?" in the discussion thread.

* Revert changes to CONCURRENTLY that "sped up" Xmin advanceAlvaro Herrera2022-05-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit d9d076222f5b "VACUUM: ignore indexing operations with CONCURRENTLY". These changes caused indexes created with the CONCURRENTLY option to miss heap tuples that were HOT-updated and HOT-pruned during the index creation. Before these changes, HOT pruning would have been prevented by the Xmin of the transaction creating the index, but because this change was precisely to allow the Xmin to move forward ignoring that backend, now other backends scanning the table can prune them. This is not a problem for VACUUM (which requires a lock that conflicts with a CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY operation), but HOT-prune can definitely occur. In other words, Xmin advancement was sped up, but at the cost of corrupting the resulting index. Regrettably, this means that the new feature in PG14 that RIC/CIC on very large tables no longer force VACUUM to retain very old tuples goes away. We might try to implement it again in a later release, but for now the risk of indexes missing tuples is too high and there's no easy fix. Backpatch to 14, where this change appeared.

* Add a new shmem_request_hook hook.Robert Haas2022-05-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, preloaded libraries are expected to request additional shared memory and LWLocks in _PG_init(). However, it is not unusal for such requests to depend on MaxBackends, which won't be initialized at that time. Such requests could also depend on GUCs that other modules might change. This introduces a new hook where modules can safely use MaxBackends and GUCs to request additional shared memory and LWLocks. Furthermore, this change restricts requests for shared memory and LWLocks to this hook. Previously, libraries could make requests until the size of the main shared memory segment was calculated. Unlike before, we no longer silently ignore requests received at invalid times. Instead, we FATAL if someone tries to request additional shared memory or LWLocks outside of the hook.

* Fix possibility of self-deadlock in ResolveRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin().Andres Freund2022-05-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The tests added in 9f8a050f68d failed nearly reliably on FreeBSD in CI, and occasionally on the buildfarm. That turns out to be caused not by a bug in the test, but by a longstanding bug in recovery conflict handling. The standby timeout handler, used by ResolveRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin(), executed SendRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin() inside a signal handler. A bad idea, because the deadlock timeout handler (or a spurious latch set) could have interrupted ProcWaitForSignal(). If unlucky that could cause a self-deadlock on ProcArrayLock, if the deadlock check is in SendRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin()->CancelDBBackends(). To fix, set a flag in StandbyTimeoutHandler(), and check the flag in ResolveRecoveryConflictWithBufferPin(). Subsequently the recovery conflict tests will be backpatched.
