* Cope with inplace update making catcache stale during TOAST fetch.Noah Misch2024-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This extends ad98fb14226ae6456fbaed7990ee7591cbe5efd2 to invals of inplace updates. Trouble requires an inplace update of a catalog having a TOAST table, so only pg_database was at risk. (The other catalog on which core code performs inplace updates, pg_class, has no TOAST table.) Trouble would require something like the inplace-inval.spec test. Consider GRANT ... ON DATABASE fetching a stale row from cache and discarding a datfrozenxid update that vac_truncate_clog() has already relied upon. Back-patch to v12 (all supported versions).

| | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit eae7be600be7, following a discussion with Tom Lane, due to concerns that this impacts the decisions made by the planner for the number of workers spawned based on the inlining and const-folding of index expressions and predicate for cases that would have worked until this commit.

* Fix parallel-safety check of expressions and predicate for index buildsMichael Paquier2024-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As coded, the planner logic that calculates the number of parallel workers to use for a parallel index build uses expressions and predicates from the relcache, which are flattened for the planner by eval_const_expressions(). As reported in the bug, an immutable parallel-unsafe function flattened in the relcache would become a Const, which would be considered as parallel-safe, even if the predicate or the expressions including the function are not safe in parallel workers. Depending on the expressions or predicate used, this could cause the parallel build to fail. Tests are included that check parallel index builds with parallel-unsafe predicate and expressions. Two routines are added to lsyscache.h to be able to retrieve expressions and predicate of an index from its pg_index data.

* Cope with catcache entries becoming stale during detoasting.Tom Lane2024-01-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We've long had a policy that any toasted fields in a catalog tuple should be pulled in-line before entering the tuple in a catalog cache. However, that requires access to the catalog's toast table, and we'll typically do AcceptInvalidationMessages while opening the toast table. So it's possible that the catalog tuple is outdated by the time we finish detoasting it. Since no cache entry exists yet, we can't mark the entry stale during AcceptInvalidationMessages, and instead we'll press forward and build an apparently-valid cache entry. The upshot is that we have a race condition whereby an out-of-date entry could be made in a backend's catalog cache, and persist there indefinitely causing indeterminate misbehavior. To fix, use the existing systable_recheck_tuple code to recheck whether the catalog tuple is still up-to-date after we finish detoasting it. If not, loop around and restart the process of searching the catalog and constructing cache entries from the top. The case is rare enough that this shouldn't create any meaningful performance penalty, even in the SearchCatCacheList case where we need to tear down and reconstruct the whole list. Indeed, the case is so rare that AFAICT it doesn't occur during our regression tests, and there doesn't seem to be any easy way to build a test that would exercise it reliably. To allow testing of the retry code paths, add logic (in USE_ASSERT_CHECKING builds only) that randomly pretends that the recheck failed about one time out of a thousand. This is enough to ensure that we'll pass through the retry paths during most regression test runs. By adding an extra level of looping, this commit creates a need to reindent most of SearchCatCacheMiss and SearchCatCacheList. I'll do that separately, to allow putting those changes in .git-blame-ignore-revs. Patch by me; thanks to Alexander Lakhin for having built a test case to prove the bug is real, and to Xiaoran Wang for review.

* Avoid unnecessary plancache revalidation of utility statements.Tom Lane2023-08-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Revalidation of a plancache entry (after a cache invalidation event) requires acquiring a snapshot. Normally that is harmless, but not if the cached statement is one that needs to run without acquiring a snapshot. We were already aware of that for TransactionStmts, but for some reason hadn't extrapolated to the other statements that PlannedStmtRequiresSnapshot() knows mustn't set a snapshot. This can lead to unexpected failures of commands such as SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL. We can fix it in the same way, by excluding those command types from revalidation. However, we can do even better than that: there is no need to revalidate for any statement type for which parse analysis, rewrite, and plan steps do nothing interesting, which is nearly all utility commands. To mechanize this, invent a parser function stmt_requires_parse_analysis() that tells whether parse analysis does anything beyond wrapping a CMD_UTILITY Query around the raw parse tree. If that's what it does, then rewrite and plan will just skip the Query, so that it is not possible for the same raw parse tree to produce a different plan tree after cache invalidation. stmt_requires_parse_analysis() is basically equivalent to the existing function analyze_requires_snapshot(), except that for obscure reasons that function omits ReturnStmt and CallStmt. It is unclear whether those were oversights or intentional. I have not been able to demonstrate a bug from not acquiring a snapshot while analyzing these commands, but at best it seems mighty fragile. It seems safer to acquire a snapshot for parse analysis of these commands too, which allows making stmt_requires_parse_analysis and analyze_requires_snapshot equivalent. In passing this fixes a second bug, which is that ResetPlanCache would exclude ReturnStmts and CallStmts from revalidation. That's surely *not* safe, since they contain parsable expressions. Per bug #18059 from Pavel Kulakov. Back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/18059-79c692f036b25346@postgresql.org
* Add indisreplident to fields refreshed by RelationReloadIndexInfo()Michael Paquier2023-07-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | RelationReloadIndexInfo() is a fast-path used for index reloads in the relation cache, and it has always forgotten about updating indisreplident, which is something that would happen after an index is selected for a replica identity. This can lead to incorrect cache information provided when executing a command in a transaction context that updates indisreplident. None of the code paths currently on HEAD that need to check upon pg_index.indisreplident fetch its value from the relation cache, always relying on a fresh copy on the syscache. Unfortunately, this may not be the case of out-of-core code, that could see out-of-date value.

* Avoid Assert failure when processing empty statement in aborted xact.Tom Lane2023-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | exec_parse_message() wants to create a cached plan in all cases, including for empty input. The empty-input path does not have a test for being in an aborted transaction, making it possible that plancache.c will fail due to trying to do database lookups even though there's no real work to do. One solution would be to throw an aborted-transaction error in this path too, but it's not entirely clear whether the lack of such an error was intentional or whether some clients might be relying on non-error behavior. Instead, let's hack plancache.c so that it treats empty statements with the same logic it already had for transaction control commands, ensuring that it can soldier through even in an already-aborted transaction.

* Fix CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY for the newest prepared transactions.Noah Misch2021-10-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The purpose of commit 8a54e12a38d1545d249f1402f66c8cde2837d97c was to fix this, and it sufficed when the PREPARE TRANSACTION completed before the CIC looked for lock conflicts. Otherwise, things still broke. As before, in a cluster having used CIC while having enabled prepared transactions, queries that use the resulting index can silently fail to find rows. It may be necessary to reindex to recover from past occurrences; REINDEX CONCURRENTLY suffices. Fix this for future index builds by making CIC wait for arbitrarily-recent prepared transactions and for ordinary transactions that may yet PREPARE TRANSACTION. As part of that, have PREPARE TRANSACTION transfer locks to its dummy PGPROC before it calls ProcArrayClearTransaction(). Back-patch to 9.6 (all supported versions).

* Reduce overhead of cache-clobber testing in LookupOpclassInfo().Tom Lane2021-07-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 03ffc4d6d added logic to bypass all caching behavior in LookupOpclassInfo when CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS is enabled. It doesn't look like I stopped to think much about what that would cost, but recent investigation shows that the cost is enormous: it roughly doubles the time needed for cache-clobber test runs. There does seem to be value in this behavior when trying to test the opclass-cache loading logic itself, but for other purposes the cost is excessive. Hence, let's back off to doing this only when debug_invalidate_system_caches_always is at least 3; or in older branches, when CLOBBER_CACHE_RECURSIVELY is defined. While here, clean up some other minor issues in LookupOpclassInfo. Re-order the code so we aren't left with broken cache entries (leading to later core dumps) in the unlikely case that we suffer OOM while trying to allocate space for a new entry. (That seems to be my oversight in 03ffc4d6d.) Also, in >= v13, stop allocating one array entry too many. That's evidently left over from sloppy reversion in 851b14b0c.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In 9.4 I added support to use a historical snapshot in ScanPgRelation(), while adding logical decoding. Unfortunately a conflict with the concurrent removal of SnapshotNow was incorrectly resolved, leading to an unregistered snapshot being used. It is not correct to use an unregistered (or non-active) snapshot for anything non-trivial, because catalog invalidations can cause the snapshot to be invalidated. Luckily it seems unlikely to actively cause problems in practice, as ScanPgRelation() requires that we already have a lock on the relation, we only look for a single row, and we don't appear to rely on the result's tid to be correct. It however is clearly wrong and potential negative consequences would likely be hard to find. So it seems worth backpatching the fix, even without a concrete hazard.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now, only selected bulk operations (e.g. COPY) did this. If a given relfilenode received both a WAL-skipping COPY and a WAL-logged operation (e.g. INSERT), recovery could lose tuples from the COPY. See src/backend/access/transam/README section "Skipping WAL for New RelFileNode" for the new coding rules. Maintainers of table access methods should examine that section. To maintain data durability, just before commit, we choose between an fsync of the relfilenode and copying its contents to WAL. A new GUC, wal_skip_threshold, guides that choice. If this change slows a workload that creates small, permanent relfilenodes under wal_level=minimal, try adjusting wal_skip_threshold. Users setting a timeout on COMMIT may need to adjust that timeout, and log_min_duration_statement analysis will reflect time consumption moving to COMMIT from commands like COPY. Internally, this requires a reliable determination of whether RollbackAndReleaseCurrentSubTransaction() would unlink a relation's current relfilenode. Introduce rd_firstRelfilenodeSubid. Amend the specification of rd_createSubid such that the field is zero when a new rel has an old rd_node. Make relcache.c retain entries for certain dropped relations until end of transaction.

* Fix CheckAttributeType's handling of collations for ranges.Tom Lane2020-01-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit fc7695891 changed CheckAttributeType to recurse into ranges, but made it pass down the wrong collation (always InvalidOid, since ranges as such have no collation). This would result in guaranteed failure when considering a range type whose subtype is collatable. Embarrassingly, we lack any regression tests that would expose such a problem (but fortunately, somebody noticed before we shipped this bug in any release). Fix it to pass down the range's subtype collation property instead, and add some regression test cases to exercise collatable-subtype ranges a bit more. Back-patch to all supported branches, as the previous patch was.

* Fix misbehavior with expression indexes on ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS tables.Tom Lane2019-12-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We implement ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS by truncating tables marked that way, which requires also truncating/rebuilding their indexes. But RelationTruncateIndexes asks the relcache for up-to-date copies of any index expressions, which may cause execution of eval_const_expressions on them, which can result in actual execution of subexpressions. This is a bad thing to have happening during ON COMMIT. Manuel Rigger reported that use of a SQL function resulted in crashes due to expectations that ActiveSnapshot would be set, which it isn't. The most obvious fix perhaps would be to push a snapshot during PreCommit_on_commit_actions, but I think that would just open the door to more problems: CommitTransaction explicitly expects that no user-defined code can be running at this point. Fortunately, since we know that no tuples exist to be indexed, there seems no need to use the real index expressions or predicates during RelationTruncateIndexes. We can set up dummy index expressions instead (we do need something that will expose the right data type, as there are places that build index tupdescs based on this), and just ignore predicates and exclusion constraints. In a green field it'd likely be better to reimplement ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS using the same "init fork" infrastructure used for unlogged relations. That seems impractical without catalog changes though, and even without that it'd be too big a change to back-patch. So for now do it like this. Per private report from Manuel Rigger. This has been broken forever, so back-patch to all supported branches.

* Avoid catalog lookups in RelationAllowsEarlyPruning().Thomas Munro2019-08-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | RelationAllowsEarlyPruning() performed a catalog scan, but is used in two contexts where that was a bad idea: 1. In heap_page_prune_opt(), which runs very frequently in some large scans. This caused major performance problems in a field report that was easy to reproduce. 2. In TestForOldSnapshot(), which runs while we hold a buffer content lock. It's not clear if this was guaranteed to be free of buffer deadlock risk. The check was introduced in commit 2cc41acd8 and defended against a real problem: 9.6's hash indexes have no page LSN and so we can't allow early pruning (ie the snapshot-too-old feature). We can remove the check from all later releases though: hash indexes are now logged, and there is no way to create UNLOGGED indexes on regular logged tables. If a future release allows such a combination, it might need to put a similar check in place, but it'll need some more thought. Back-patch to 10.

* Fix plpgsql to re-look-up composite type names at need.Tom Lane2019-08-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 4b93f5799 rearranged things in plpgsql to make it cope better with composite types changing underneath it intra-session. However, I failed to consider the case of a composite type being dropped and recreated entirely. In my defense, the previous coding didn't consider that possibility at all either --- but it would accidentally work so long as you didn't change the type's field list, because the built-at-compile-time list of component variables would then still match the type's new definition. The new coding, however, occasionally tries to re-look-up the type by OID, and then fails to find the dropped type. To fix this, we need to save the TypeName struct, and then redo the type OID lookup from that. Of course that's expensive, so we don't want to do it every time we need the type OID. This can be fixed in the same way that 4b93f5799 dealt with changes to composite types' definitions: keep an eye on the type's typcache entry to see if its tupledesc has been invalidated. (Perhaps, at some point, this mechanism should be generalized so it can work for non-composite types too; but for now, plpgsql only tries to cope with intra-session redefinitions of composites.) I'm slightly hesitant to back-patch this into v11, because it changes the contents of struct PLpgSQL_type as well as the signature of plpgsql_build_datatype(), so in principle it could break code that is poking into the innards of plpgsql. However, the only popular extension of that ilk is pldebugger, and it doesn't seem to be affected. Since this is a regression for people who were relying on the old behavior, it seems worth taking the small risk of causing compatibility issues. Per bug #15913 from Daniel Fiori. Back-patch to v11 where 4b93f5799 came in. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/15913-a7e112e16dedcffc@postgresql.org

* Rework the pg_statistic_ext catalogTomas Vondra2019-06-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since extended statistic got introduced in PostgreSQL 10, there was a single catalog pg_statistic_ext storing both the definitions and built statistic. That's however problematic when a user is supposed to have access only to the definitions, but not to user data. Consider for example pg_dump on a database with RLS enabled - if the pg_statistic_ext catalog respects RLS (which it should, if it contains user data), pg_dump would not see any records and the result would not define any extended statistics. That would be a surprising behavior. Until now this was not a pressing issue, because the existing types of extended statistic (functional dependencies and ndistinct coefficients) do not include any user data directly. This changed with introduction of MCV lists, which do include most common combinations of values. The easiest way to fix this is to split the pg_statistic_ext catalog into two - one for definitions, one for the built statistic values. The new catalog is called pg_statistic_ext_data, and we're maintaining a 1:1 relationship with the old catalog - either there are matching records in both catalogs, or neither of them. Bumped CATVERSION due to changing system catalog definitions.

* Clean up the behavior and API of catalog.c's is-catalog-relation tests.Tom Lane2019-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The right way for IsCatalogRelation/Class to behave is to return true for OIDs less than FirstBootstrapObjectId (not FirstNormalObjectId), without any of the ad-hoc fooling around with schema membership. The previous code was wrong because (1) it claimed that information_schema tables were not catalog relations but their toast tables were, which is silly; and (2) if you dropped and recreated information_schema, which is a supported operation, the behavior changed. That's even sillier. With this definition, "catalog relations" are exactly the ones traceable to the postgres.bki data, which seems like what we want. With this simplification, we don't actually need access to the pg_class tuple to identify a catalog relation; we only need its OID. Hence, replace IsCatalogClass with "IsCatalogRelationOid(oid)". But keep IsCatalogRelation as a convenience function. This allows fixing some arguably-wrong semantics in contrib/sepgsql and ReindexRelationConcurrently, which were using an IsSystemNamespace test where what they really should be using is IsCatalogRelationOid. The previous coding failed to protect toast tables of system catalogs, and also was not on board with the general principle that user-created tables do not become catalogs just by virtue of being renamed into pg_catalog. We can also get rid of a messy hack in ReindexMultipleTables. While we're at it, also rename IsSystemNamespace to IsCatalogNamespace, because the previous name invited confusion with the more expansive semantics used by IsSystemRelation/Class. Also improve the comments in catalog.c. There are a few remaining places in replication-related code that are special-casing OIDs below FirstNormalObjectId. I'm inclined to think those are wrong too, and if there should be any special case it should just extend to FirstBootstrapObjectId. But first we need to debate whether a FOR ALL TABLES publication should include information_schema.

* Fix reindexing of pg_class indexes some more.Tom Lane2019-05-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commits 3dbb317d3 et al failed under CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS testing. Investigation showed that to reindex pg_class_oid_index, we must suppress accesses to the index (via SetReindexProcessing) before we call RelationSetNewRelfilenode, or at least before we do CommandCounterIncrement therein; otherwise, relcache reloads happening within the CCI may try to fetch pg_class rows using the index's new relfilenode value, which is as yet an empty file. Of course, the point of 3dbb317d3 was that that ordering didn't work either, because then RelationSetNewRelfilenode's own update of the index's pg_class row cannot access the index, should it need to. There are various ways we might have got around that, but Andres Freund came up with a brilliant solution: for a mapped index, we can really just skip the pg_class update altogether. The only fields it was actually changing were relpages etc, but it was just setting them to zeroes which is useless make-work. (Correct new values will be installed at the end of index build.) All pg_class indexes are mapped and probably always will be, so this eliminates the problem by removing work rather than adding it, always a pleasant outcome. Having taught RelationSetNewRelfilenode to do it that way, we can revert the code reordering in reindex_index. (But I left the moved setup code where it was; there seems no reason why it has to run without use of the old index. If you're trying to fix a busted pg_class index, you'll have had to disable system index use altogether to get this far.) Moreover, this means we don't need RelationSetIndexList at all, because reindex_relation's hacking to make "REINDEX TABLE pg_class" work is likewise now unnecessary. We'll leave that code in place in the back branches, but a follow-on patch will remove it in HEAD. In passing, do some minor cleanup for commit 5c1560606 (in HEAD only), notably removing a duplicate newrnode assignment. Patch by me, using a core idea due to Andres Freund.

* Fix several recently introduced issues around handling new relation forks.Andres Freund2019-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most of these stem from d25f519107 "tableam: relation creation, VACUUM FULL/CLUSTER, SET TABLESPACE.". 1) To pass data to the relation_set_new_filenode() RelationSetNewRelfilenode() was made to update RelationData.rd_rel directly. That's not OK however, as it makes the relcache entries temporarily inconsistent. Which among other scenarios is a problem if a REINDEX targets an index on pg_class - the CatalogTupleUpdate() in RelationSetNewRelfilenode(). Presumably that was introduced because other places in the code do so - while those aren't "good practice" they don't appear to be actively buggy (e.g. because system tables may not be targeted). I (Andres) should have caught this while reviewing and signficantly evolving the code in that commit, mea culpa. Fix that by instead passing in the new RelFileNode as separate argument to relation_set_new_filenode() and rely on the relcache to update the catalog entry. Also revert that the RelationMapUpdateMap() call was changed to immediate, and undo some other more unnecessary changes. 2) Document that the relation_set_new_filenode cannot rely on the whole relcache entry to be valid. It might be worthwhile to refactor the code to never have to rely on that, but given the way heap_create() is currently coded, that'd be a large change. 3) ATExecSetTableSpace() shouldn't do FlushRelationBuffers() itself. A table AM might not use shared buffers at all. Move to index_copy_data() and heapam_relation_copy_data(). 4) heapam_relation_set_new_filenode() previously sometimes accessed rel->rd_rel->relpersistence rather than the `persistence` argument. Code movement mistake. 5) Previously heapam_relation_set_new_filenode() re-opened the smgr relation to create the init for, if necesary. Instead have RelationCreateStorage() return the SMgrRelation and use it to create the init fork. 6) Add a note about the danger of modifying the relcache directly to ATExecSetTableSpace() - it's currently not a bug because there's a check ERRORing for catalog tables. Regression tests and assertion improvements that together trigger the bug described in 1) will be added in a later commit, as there is a related bug on all branches.
