* Skip WAL for new relfilenodes, under wal_level=minimal.Noah Misch2020-03-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Back-patch to 9.5 (all supported versions). This introduces a new WAL record type, XLOG_GIST_ASSIGN_LSN, without bumping XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC. As always, update standby systems before master systems. This changes sizeof(RelationData) and sizeof(IndexStmt), breaking binary compatibility for affected extensions.

* During heap rebuild, lock any TOAST index until end of transaction.Noah Misch2020-03-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | swap_relation_files() calls toast_get_valid_index() to find and lock this index, just before swapping with the rebuilt TOAST index. The latter function releases the lock before returning. Potential for mischief is low; a concurrent session can issue ALTER INDEX ... SET (fillfactor = ...), which is not alarming. Nonetheless, changing pg_class.relfilenode without a lock is unconventional. Back-patch to 9.5 (all supported versions), because another fix needs this.

* Restructure polymorphic-type resolution in funcapi.c.Tom Lane2020-03-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | resolve_polymorphic_tupdesc() and resolve_polymorphic_argtypes() failed to cover the case of having to resolve anyarray given only an anyrange input. The bug was masked if anyelement was also used (as either input or output), which probably helps account for our not having noticed. While looking at this I noticed that resolve_generic_type() would produce the wrong answer if asked to make that same resolution. ISTM that resolve_generic_type() is confusingly defined and overly complex, so rather than fix it, let's just make funcapi.c do the specific lookups it requires for itself. With this change, resolve_generic_type() is not used anywhere, so remove it in HEAD. In the back branches, leave it alone (complete with bug) just in case any external code is using it. While we're here, make some other refactoring adjustments in funcapi.c with an eye to upcoming future expansion of the set of polymorphic types: * Simplify quick-exit tests by adding an overall have_polymorphic_result flag. This is about a wash now but will be a win when there are more flags. * Reduce duplication of code between resolve_polymorphic_tupdesc() and resolve_polymorphic_argtypes(). * Don't bother to validate correct matching of anynonarray or anyenum; the parser should have done that, and even if it didn't, just doing "return false" here would lead to a very confusing, off-point error message. (Really, "return false" in these two functions should only occur if the call_expr isn't supplied or we can't obtain data type info from it.) * For the same reason, throw an elog rather than "return false" if we fail to resolve a polymorphic type. The bug's been there since we added anyrange, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/6093.1584202130@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Fix nextXid tracking bug on standbys (9.5-11 only).Thomas Munro2020-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | RecordKnownAssignedTransactionIds() should never move nextXid backwards. Before this commit, that could happen if some other code path had advanced it without advancing latestObservedXid. One consequence is that a well timed XLOG_CHECKPOINT_ONLINE could cause hot standby feedback messages to get confused and report an xmin from a future epoch, potentially allowing vacuum to run too soon on the primary. Repair, by making sure RecordKnownAssignedTransactionIds() can only move nextXid forwards.

* Fix bug that causes to report waiting in PS display twice, in hot standby.Fujii Masao2020-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously "waiting" could appear twice via PS in case of lock conflict in hot standby mode. Specifically this issue happend when the delay in WAL application determined by max_standby_archive_delay and max_standby_streaming_delay had passed but it took more than 500 msec to cancel all the conflicting transactions. Especially we can observe this easily by setting those delay parameters to -1. The cause of this issue was that WaitOnLock() and ResolveRecoveryConflictWithVirtualXIDs() added "waiting" to the process title in that case.

* Avoid assertion failure with targeted recovery in standby mode.Fujii Masao2020-03-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | At the end of recovery, standby mode is turned off to re-fetch the last valid record from archive or pg_wal. Previously, if recovery target was reached and standby mode was turned off while the current WAL source was stream, recovery could try to retrieve WAL file containing the last valid record unexpectedly from stream even though not in standby mode. This caused an assertion failure. That is, the assertion test confirms that WAL file should not be retrieved from stream if standby mode is not true. This commit moves back the current WAL source to archive if it's stream even though not in standby mode, to avoid that assertion failure. This issue doesn't cause the server to crash when built with assertion disabled. In this case, the attempt to retrieve WAL file from stream not in standby mode just fails. And then recovery tries to retrieve WAL file from archive or pg_wal. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix mesurement of elapsed time during truncating heap in VACUUM.Fujii Masao2020-02-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | VACUUM may truncate heap in several batches. The activity report is logged for each batch, and contains the number of pages in the table before and after the truncation, and also the elapsed time during the truncation. Previously the elapsed time reported in each batch was the total elapsed time since starting the truncation until finishing each batch. For example, if the truncation was processed dividing into three batches, the second batch reported the accumulated time elapsed during both first and second batches. This is strange and confusing because the number of pages in the table reported together is not total. Instead, each batch should report the time elapsed during only that batch. The cause of this issue was that the resource usage snapshot was initialized only at the beginning of the truncation and was never reset later. This commit fixes the issue by changing VACUUM so that the resource usage snapshot is reset at each batch. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Stop demanding that top xact must be seen before subxact in decoding.Amit Kapila2020-02-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Manifested as ERROR: subtransaction logged without previous top-level txn record this check forbids legit behaviours like - First xl_xact_assignment record is beyond reading, i.e. earlier restart_lsn. - After restart_lsn there is some change of a subxact. - After that, there is second xl_xact_assignment (for another subxact) revealing the relationship between top and first subxact. Such a transaction won't be streamed anyway because we hadn't seen it in full. Saying for sure whether xact of some record encountered after the snapshot was deserialized can be streamed or not requires to know whether it wrote something before deserialization point --if yes, it hasn't been seen in full and can't be decoded. Snapshot doesn't have such info, so there is no easy way to relax the check.

* Fix an oversight in commit 4c70098ff.Tom Lane2020-01-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I had supposed that the from_char_seq_search() call sites were all passing the constant arrays you'd expect them to pass ... but on looking closer, the one for DY format was passing the days[] array not days_short[]. This accidentally worked because the day abbreviations in English are all the same as the first three letters of the full day names. However, once we took out the "maximum comparison length" logic, it stopped working. As penance for that oversight, add regression test cases covering this, as well as every other switch case in DCH_from_char() that was not reached according to the code coverage report. Also, fold the DCH_RM and DCH_rm cases into one --- now that seq_search is case independent, there's no need to pass different comparison arrays for those cases. Back-patch, as the previous commit was.
* Clean up formatting.c's logic for matching constant strings.Tom Lane2020-01-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | seq_search(), which is used to match input substrings to constants such as month and day names, had a lot of bizarre and unnecessary behaviors. It was mostly possible to avert our eyes from that before, but we don't want to duplicate those behaviors in the upcoming patch to allow recognition of non-English month and day names. So it's time to clean this up. In particular: * seq_search scribbled on the input string, which is a pretty dangerous thing to do, especially in the badly underdocumented way it was done here. Fortunately the input string is a temporary copy, but that was being made three subroutine levels away, making it something easy to break accidentally. The behavior is externally visible nonetheless, in the form of odd case-folding in error reports about unrecognized month/day names. The scribbling is evidently being done to save a few calls to pg_tolower, but that's such a cheap function (at least for ASCII data) that it's pretty pointless to worry about. In HEAD I switched it to be pg_ascii_tolower to ensure it is cheap in all cases; but there are corner cases in Turkish where this'd change behavior, so leave it as pg_tolower in the back branches. * seq_search insisted on knowing the case form (all-upper, all-lower, or initcap) of the constant strings, so that it didn't have to case-fold them to perform case-insensitive comparisons. This likewise seems like excessive micro-optimization, given that pg_tolower is certainly very cheap for ASCII data. It seems unsafe to assume that we know the case form that will come out of pg_locale.c for localized month/day names, so it's better just to define the comparison rule as "downcase all strings before comparing". (The choice between downcasing and upcasing is arbitrary so far as English is concerned, but it might not be in other locales, so follow citext's lead here.) * seq_search also had a parameter that'd cause it to report a match after a maximum number of characters, even if the constant string were longer than that. This was not actually used because no caller passed a value small enough to cut off a comparison. Replicating that behavior for localized month/day names seems expensive as well as useless, so let's get rid of that too. * from_char_seq_search used the maximum-length parameter to truncate the input string in error reports about not finding a matching name. This leads to rather confusing reports in many cases. Worse, it is outright dangerous if the input string isn't all-ASCII, because we risk truncating the string in the middle of a multibyte character. That'd lead either to delivering an illegible error message to the client, or to encoding-conversion failures that obscure the actual data problem. Get rid of that in favor of truncating at whitespace if any (a suggestion due to Alvaro Herrera). In addition to fixing these things, I const-ified the input string pointers of DCH_from_char and its subroutines, to make sure there aren't any other scribbling-on-input problems. The risk of generating a badly-encoded error message seems like enough of a bug to justify back-patching, so patch all supported branches.

* Fix concurrent indexing operations with temporary tablesMichael Paquier2020-01-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Attempting to use CREATE INDEX, DROP INDEX or REINDEX with CONCURRENTLY on a temporary relation with ON COMMIT actions triggered unexpected errors because those operations use multiple transactions internally to complete their work. Here is for example one confusing error when using ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS: ERROR: index "foo" already contains data Issues related to temporary relations and concurrent indexing are fixed in this commit by enforcing the non-concurrent path to be taken for temporary relations even if using CONCURRENTLY, transparently to the user. Using a non-concurrent path does not matter in practice as locks cannot be taken on a temporary relation by a session different than the one owning the relation, and the non-concurrent operation is more effective. The problem exists with REINDEX since v12 with the introduction of CONCURRENTLY, and with CREATE/DROP INDEX since CONCURRENTLY exists for those commands. In all supported versions, this caused only confusing error messages to be generated. Note that with REINDEX, it was also possible to issue a REINDEX CONCURRENTLY for a temporary relation owned by a different session, leading to a server crash. The idea to enforce transparently the non-concurrent code path for temporary relations comes originally from Andres Freund.

* Fix edge case leading to agg transitions skipping ExecAggTransReparent() calls.Andres Freund2020-01-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code checking whether an aggregate transition value needs to be reparented into the current context has always only compared the transition return value with the previous transition value by datum, i.e. without regard for NULLness. This normally works, because when the transition function returns NULL (via fcinfo->isnull), it'll return a value that won't be the same as its input value. But there's no hard requirement that that's the case. And it turns out, it's possible to hit this case (see discussion or reproducers), leading to a non-null transition value not being reparented, followed by a crash caused by that. Instead of adding another comparison of NULLness, instead have ExecAggTransReparent() ensure that pergroup->transValue ends up as 0 when the new transition value is NULL. That avoids having to add an additional branch to the much more common cases of the transition function returning the old transition value (which is a pointer in this case), and when the new value is different, but not NULL. In branches since 69c3936a149, also deduplicate the reparenting code between the expression evaluation based transitions, and the path for ordered aggregates.

* Repair more failures with SubPlans in multi-row VALUES lists.Tom Lane2020-01-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 9b63c13f0 turns out to have been fundamentally misguided: the parent node's subPlan list is by no means the only way in which a child SubPlan node can be hooked into the outer execution state. As shown in bug #16213 from Matt Jibson, we can also get short-lived tuple table slots added to the outer es_tupleTable list. At this point I have little faith that there aren't other possible connections as well; the long time it took to notice this problem shows that this isn't a heavily-exercised situation. Therefore, revert that fix, returning to the coding that passed a NULL parent plan pointer down to the transiently-built subexpressions. That gives us a pretty good guarantee that they won't hook into the outer executor state in any way. But then we need some other solution to make SubPlans work. Adopt the solution speculated about in the previous commit's log message: do expression initialization at plan startup for just those VALUES rows containing SubPlans, abandoning the goal of reclaiming memory intra-query for those rows. In practice it seems unlikely that queries containing a vast number of VALUES rows would be using SubPlans in them, so this should not give up much. (BTW, this test case also refutes my claim in connection with the prior commit that the issue only arises with use of LATERAL. That was just wrong: some variants of SubLink always produce SubPlans.)

Instead, trap this in the rewriter and report the correct error there. Doing so also allows us to include more useful error detail than the executor check can provide.

Handle the endpoint cases explicitly to fix that. While at it, be more paranoid about the possibility of getting NaN or other silly results from the range type's subdiff function. And improve some comments. Ordinarily we'd probably add a regression test case demonstrating the bug in unpatched code. But it's too hard to get it to crash reliably because of the uninitialized-memory dependence, so skip that. Per bug #16122 from Adam Scott. It's been broken from the beginning, apparently, so backpatch to all supported branches. Diagnosis by Michael Paquier, patch by Andrey Borodin and Tom Lane.

* Fix running out of file descriptors for spill files.Amit Kapila2020-01-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently while decoding changes, if the number of changes exceeds a certain threshold, we spill those to disk.  And this happens for each (sub)transaction.  Now, while reading all these files, we don't close them until we read all the files.  While reading these files, if the number of such files exceeds the maximum number of file descriptors, the operation errors out. Use PathNameOpenFile interface to open these files as that internally has the mechanism to release kernel FDs as needed to get us under the max_safe_fds limit.

* Forbid DROP SCHEMA on temporary namespacesMichael Paquier2019-12-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This operation was possible for the owner of the schema or a superuser. Down to 9.4, doing this operation would cause inconsistencies in a session whose temporary schema was dropped, particularly if trying to create new temporary objects after the drop. A more annoying consequence is a crash of autovacuum on an assertion failure when logging information about an orphaned temp table dropped. Note that because of 246a6c8 (present in v11~), which has made the removal of orphaned temporary tables more aggressive, the failure could be triggered more easily, but it is possible to reproduce down to 9.4.

* Rotate instead of shifting hash join batch number.Thomas Munro2019-12-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Our algorithm for choosing batch numbers turned out not to work effectively for multi-billion key inner relations. We would use more hash bits than we have, and effectively concentrate all tuples into a smaller number of batches than we intended. While ideally we should switch to wider hashes, for now, change the algorithm to one that effectively gives up bits from the bucket number when we don't have enough bits. That means we'll finish up with longer bucket chains than would be ideal, but that's better than having batches that don't fit in work_mem and can't be divided. Batch-patch to all supported releases.

* Fix error reporting for index expressions of prohibited types.Tom Lane2019-12-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If CheckAttributeType() threw an error about the datatype of an index expression column, it would report an empty column name, which is pretty unhelpful and certainly not the intended behavior. I (tgl) evidently broke this in commit cfc5008a5, by not noticing that the column's attname was used above where I'd placed the assignment of it. In HEAD and v12, this is trivially fixable by moving up the assignment of attname. Before v12 the code is a bit more messy; to avoid doing substantial refactoring, I took the lazy way out and just put in two copies of the assignment code. Report and patch by Amit Langote.

* Remove redundant function calls in timestamp[tz]_part().Tom Lane2019-12-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The DTK_DOW/DTK_ISODOW and DTK_DOY switch cases in timestamp_part() and timestamptz_part() contained calls of timestamp2tm() that were fully redundant with the ones done just above the switch. This evidently crept in during commit 258ee1b63, which relocated that code from another place where the calls were indeed needed. Just delete the redundant calls. I (tgl) noted that our test coverage of these functions left quite a bit to be desired, so extend timestamp.sql and timestamptz.sql to cover all the branches. Back-patch to all supported branches, as the previous commit was.

* Fix race condition in our Windows signal emulation.Tom Lane2019-12-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pg_signal_dispatch_thread() responded to the client (signal sender) and disconnected the pipe before actually setting the shared variables that make the signal visible to the backend process's main thread. In the worst case, it seems, effective delivery of the signal could be postponed for as long as the machine has any other work to do. To fix, just move the pg_queue_signal() call so that we do it before responding to the client. This essentially makes pgkill() synchronous, which is a stronger guarantee than we have on Unix. That may be overkill, but on the other hand we have not seen comparable timing bugs on any Unix platform. While at it, add some comments to this sadly underdocumented code. Problem diagnosis and fix by Amit Kapila; I just added the comments. Back-patch to all supported versions, as it appears that this can cause visible NOTIFY timing oddities on all of them, and there might be other misbehavior due to slow delivery of other signals.

* 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 assertion failure with LISTEN in a serializable transaction.Tom Lane2019-11-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If LISTEN is the only action in a serializable-mode transaction, and the session was not previously listening, and the notify queue is not empty, predicate.c reported an assertion failure. That happened because we'd acquire the transaction's initial snapshot during PreCommit_Notify, which was called *after* predicate.c expects any such snapshot to have been established. To fix, just swap the order of the PreCommit_Notify and PreCommit_CheckForSerializationFailure calls during CommitTransaction. This will imply holding the notify-insertion lock slightly longer, but the difference could only be meaningful in serializable mode, which is an expensive option anyway. It appears that this is just an assertion failure, with no consequences in non-assert builds. A snapshot used only to scan the notify queue could not have been involved in any serialization conflicts, so there would be nothing for PreCommit_CheckForSerializationFailure to do except assign it a prepareSeqNo and set the SXACT_FLAG_PREPARED flag. And given no conflicts, neither of those omissions affect the behavior of ReleasePredicateLocks. This admittedly once-over-lightly analysis is backed up by the lack of field reports of trouble. Per report from Mark Dilger. The bug is old, so back-patch to all supported branches; but the new test case only goes back to 9.6, for lack of adequate isolationtester infrastructure before that.

* Defend against self-referential views in relation_is_updatable().Tom Lane2019-11-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While a self-referential view doesn't actually work, it's possible to create one, and it turns out that this breaks some of the information_schema views. Those views call relation_is_updatable(), which neglected to consider the hazards of being recursive. In older PG versions you get a "stack depth limit exceeded" error, but since v10 it'd recurse to the point of stack overrun and crash, because commit a4c35ea1c took out the expression_returns_set() call that was incidentally checking the stack depth. Since this function is only used by information_schema views, it seems like it'd be better to return "not updatable" than suffer an error. Hence, add tracking of what views we're examining, in just the same way that the nearby fireRIRrules() code detects self-referential views. I added a check_stack_depth() call too, just to be defensive. Per private report from Manuel Rigger. Back-patch to all supported versions.

* Further fix dumping of views that contain just VALUES(...).Tom Lane2019-11-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It turns out that commit e9f1c01b7 missed a case: we must print a VALUES clause in long format if get_query_def is given a resultDesc that would require the query's output column name(s) to be different from what the bare VALUES clause would produce. This applies in case an ALTER ... RENAME COLUMN has been done to a view that formerly could be printed in simple format, as shown in the added regression test case. It also explains bug #16119 from Dmitry Telpt, because it turns out that (unlike CREATE VIEW) CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW fails to apply any column aliases it's given to the stored ON SELECT rule. So to get them to be printed, we have to account for the resultDesc renaming. It might be worth changing the matview code so that it creates the ON SELECT rule with the correct aliases; but we'd still need these messy checks in get_simple_values_rte to handle the case of a subsequent column rename, so any such change would be just neatnik-ism not a bug fix.

* Fix timestamp of sent message for write context in logical decodingMichael Paquier2019-11-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When sending data for logical decoding using the streaming replication protocol via a WAL sender, the timestamp of the sent write message is allocated at the beginning of the message when preparing for the write, and actually computed when the write message is ready to be sent. The timestamp was getting computed after sending the message. This impacts anything using logical decoding, causing for example logical replication to report mostly NULL for last_msg_send_time in pg_stat_subscription.

* Avoid logging complaints about abandoned connections when using PAM.Tom Lane2019-11-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For a long time (since commit aed378e8d) we have had a policy to log nothing about a connection if the client disconnects when challenged for a password. This is because libpq-using clients will typically do that, and then come back for a new connection attempt once they've collected a password from their user, so that logging the abandoned connection attempt will just result in log spam. However, this did not work well for PAM authentication: the bottom-level function pam_passwd_conv_proc() was on board with it, but we logged messages at higher levels anyway, for lack of any reporting mechanism. Add a flag and tweak the logic so that the case is silent, as it is for other password-using auth mechanisms. Per complaint from Yoann La Cancellera.
