* Avoid memory leaks when a GatherMerge node is rescanned.Tom Lane2017-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rescanning a GatherMerge led to leaking some memory in the executor's query-lifespan context, because most of the node's working data structures were simply abandoned and rebuilt from scratch. In practice, this might never amount to much, given the cost of relaunching worker processes --- but it's still pretty messy, so let's fix it. We can rearrange things so that the tuple arrays are simply cleared and reused, and we don't need to rebuild the TupleTableSlots either, just clear them. One small complication is that because we might get a different number of workers on each iteration, we can't keep the old convention that the leader's gm_slots[] entry is the last one; the leader might clobber a TupleTableSlot that we need for a worker in a future iteration. Hence, adjust the logic so that the leader has slot 0 always, while the active workers have slots 1..n. Back-patch to v10 to keep all the existing versions of nodeGatherMerge.c in sync --- because of the renumbering of the slots, there would otherwise be a very large risk that any future backpatches in this module would introduce bugs.

* Expand partitioned tables in PartDesc order.Robert Haas2017-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, we expanded the inheritance hierarchy in the order in which find_all_inheritors had locked the tables, but that turns out to block quite a bit of useful optimization. For example, a partition-wise join can't count on two tables with matching bounds to get expanded in the same order. Where possible, this change results in expanding partitioned tables in *bound* order. Bound order isn't well-defined for a list-partitioned table with a null-accepting partition or for a list-partitioned table where the bounds for a single partition are interleaved with other partitions. However, when expansion in bound order is possible, it opens up further opportunities for optimization, such as strength-reducing MergeAppend to Append when the expansion order matches the desired sort order. Patch by me, with cosmetic revisions by Ashutosh Bapat. Discussion: http://postgr.es/m/CA+TgmoZrKj7kEzcMSum3aXV4eyvvbh9WD=c6m=002WMheDyE3A@mail.gmail.com
* Clean up shm_mq cleanup.Tom Lane2017-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The logic around shm_mq_detach was a few bricks shy of a load, because (contrary to the comments for shm_mq_attach) all it did was update the shared shm_mq state. That left us leaking a bit of process-local memory, but much worse, the on_dsm_detach callback for shm_mq_detach was still armed. That means that whenever we ultimately detach from the DSM segment, we'd run shm_mq_detach again for already-detached, possibly long-dead queues. This accidentally fails to fail today, because we only ever re-use a shm_mq's memory for another shm_mq, and multiple detach attempts on the last such shm_mq are fairly harmless. But it's gonna bite us someday, so let's clean it up. To do that, change shm_mq_detach's API so it takes a shm_mq_handle not the underlying shm_mq. This makes the callers simpler in most cases anyway. Also fix a few places in parallel.c that were just pfree'ing the handle structs rather than doing proper cleanup. Back-patch to v10 because of the risk that the revenant shm_mq_detach callbacks would cause a live bug sometime. Since this is an API change, it's too late to do it in 9.6. (We could make a variant patch that preserves API, but I'm not excited enough to do that.) Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/8670.1504192177@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Code review for nodeGatherMerge.c.Tom Lane2017-08-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Comment the fields of GatherMergeState, and organize them a bit more sensibly. Comment GMReaderTupleBuffer more usefully too. Improve assorted other comments that were obsolete or just not very good English. Get rid of the use of a GMReaderTupleBuffer for the leader process; that was confusing, since only the "done" field was used, and that in a way redundant with need_to_scan_locally. In gather_merge_init, avoid calling load_tuple_array for already-known-exhausted workers. I'm not sure if there's a live bug there, but the case is unlikely to be well tested due to timing considerations. Remove some useless code, such as duplicating the tts_isempty test done by TupIsNull. Remove useless initialization of ps.qual, replacing that with an assertion that we have no qual to check. (If we did, the code would fail to check it.) Avoid applying heap_copytuple to a null tuple. While that fails to crash, it's confusing and it makes the code less legible not more so IMO. Propagate a couple of these changes into nodeGather.c, as well. Back-patch to v10, partly because of the possibility that the gather_merge_init change is fixing a live bug, but mostly to keep the branches in sync to ease future bug fixes.
* Separate reinitialization of shared parallel-scan state from ExecReScan.Tom Lane2017-08-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, the parallel executor logic did reinitialization of shared state within the ExecReScan code for parallel-aware scan nodes. This is problematic, because it means that the ExecReScan call has to occur synchronously (ie, during the parent Gather node's ReScan call). That is swimming very much against the tide so far as the ExecReScan machinery is concerned; the fact that it works at all today depends on a lot of fragile assumptions, such as that no plan node between Gather and a parallel-aware scan node is parameterized. Another objection is that because ExecReScan might be called in workers as well as the leader, hacky extra tests are needed in some places to prevent unwanted shared-state resets. Hence, let's separate this code into two functions, a ReInitializeDSM call and the ReScan call proper. ReInitializeDSM is called only in the leader and is guaranteed to run before we start new workers. ReScan is returned to its traditional function of resetting only local state, which means that ExecReScan's usual habits of delaying or eliminating child rescan calls are safe again. As with the preceding commit 7df2c1f8d, it doesn't seem to be necessary to make these changes in 9.6, which is a good thing because the FDW and CustomScan APIs are impacted.

* Force rescanning of parallel-aware scan nodes below a Gather[Merge].Tom Lane2017-08-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The ExecReScan machinery contains various optimizations for postponing or skipping rescans of plan subtrees; for example a HashAgg node may conclude that it can re-use the table it built before, instead of re-reading its input subtree. But that is wrong if the input contains a parallel-aware table scan node, since the portion of the table scanned by the leader process is likely to vary from one rescan to the next. This explains the timing-dependent buildfarm failures we saw after commit a2b70c89c. The established mechanism for showing that a plan node's output is potentially variable is to mark it as depending on some runtime Param. Hence, to fix this, invent a dummy Param (one that has a PARAM_EXEC parameter number, but carries no actual value) associated with each Gather or GatherMerge node, mark parallel-aware nodes below that node as dependent on that Param, and arrange for ExecReScanGather[Merge] to flag that Param as changed whenever the Gather[Merge] node is rescanned. This solution breaks an undocumented assumption made by the parallel executor logic, namely that all rescans of nodes below a Gather[Merge] will happen synchronously during the ReScan of the top node itself. But that's fundamentally contrary to the design of the ExecReScan code, and so was doomed to fail someday anyway (even if you want to argue that the bug being fixed here wasn't a failure of that assumption). A follow-on patch will address that issue. In the meantime, the worst that's expected to happen is that given very bad timing luck, the leader might have to do all the work during a rescan, because workers think they have nothing to do, if they are able to start up before the eventual ReScan of the leader's parallel-aware table scan node has reset the shared scan state. Although this problem exists in 9.6, there does not seem to be any way for it to manifest there. Without GatherMerge, it seems that a plan tree that has a rescan-short-circuiting node below Gather will always also have one above it that will short-circuit in the same cases, preventing the Gather from being rescanned. Hence we won't take the risk of back-patching this change into 9.6. But v10 needs it. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAA4eK1JkByysFJNh9M349u_nNjqETuEnY_y1VUc_kJiU0bxtaQ@mail.gmail.com
* Propagate sort instrumentation from workers back to leader.Robert Haas2017-08-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Up until now, when parallel query was used, no details about the sort method or space used by the workers were available; details were shown only for any sorting done by the leader. Fix that. Commit 1177ab1dabf72bafee8f19d904cee3a299f25892 forced the test case added by commit 1f6d515a67ec98194c23a5db25660856c9aab944 to run without parallelism; now that we have this infrastructure, allow that again, with a little tweaking to make it pass with and without force_parallel_mode.

* Push tuple limits through Gather and Gather Merge.Robert Haas2017-08-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | If we only need, say, 10 tuples in total, then we certainly don't need more than 10 tuples from any single process. Pushing down the limit lets workers exit early when possible. For Gather Merge, there is an additional benefit: a Sort immediately below the Gather Merge can be done as a bounded sort if there is an applicable limit.

* Code review for pushing LIMIT through subqueries.Tom Lane2017-08-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | Minor improvements for commit 1f6d515a6. We do not need the (rather expensive) test for SRFs in the targetlist, because since v10 any such SRFs would appear in separate ProjectSet nodes. Also, make the code look more like the existing cases by turning it into a simple recursion --- the argument that there might be some performance benefit to contorting the code seems unfounded to me, especially since any good compiler should turn the tail-recursion into iteration anyway.

* Hash tables backed by DSA shared memory.Andres Freund2017-08-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add general purpose chaining hash tables for DSA memory. Unlike DynaHash in shared memory mode, these hash tables can grow as required, and cope with being mapped into different addresses in different backends. There is a wide range of potential users for such a hash table, though it's very likely the interface will need to evolve as we come to understand the needs of different kinds of users. E.g support for iterators and incremental resizing is planned for later commits and the details of the callback signatures are likely to change.

* Refactor typcache.c's record typmod hash table.Andres Freund2017-08-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, tuple descriptors were stored in chains keyed by a fixed size array of OIDs.

* Make the planner assume that the entries in a VALUES list are distinct.Tom Lane2017-08-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, if we had to estimate the number of distinct values in a VALUES column, we fell back on the default behavior used whenever we lack statistics, which effectively is that there are Min(# of entries, 200) distinct values. This can be very badly off with a large VALUES list, as noted by Jeff Janes. We could consider actually running an ANALYZE-like scan on the VALUES, but that seems unduly expensive, and anyway it could not deliver reliable info if the entries are not all constants. What seems like a better choice is to assume that the values are all distinct. This will sometimes be just as wrong as the old code, but it seems more likely to be more nearly right in many common cases. Also, it is more consistent with what happens in some related cases, for example WHERE x = ANY(ARRAY[1,2,3,...,n]) and WHERE x = ANY(VALUES (1),(2),(3),...,(n)) now are estimated similarly. This was discussed some time ago, but consensus was it'd be better to slip it in at the start of a development cycle not near the end. (It should've gone into v10, really, but I forgot about it.)

On systems with MAXIMUM_ALIGNOF = 4, such structs still need to be 8-bytes aligned, but the memory returned by shm_toc_allocate() was only 4-bytes aligned. It's quite bogus that we abuse BUFFERALIGN to align the structs for pg_atomic_uint64. It doesn't really have anything to do with buffers. But that's a separate issue.

Therefore, let's fall back to a simpler implementation of work-items that just uses autovacuum's main shared memory segment for storage.

* Avoid out-of-memory in a hash join with many duplicate inner keys.Tom Lane2017-08-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The executor is capable of splitting buckets during a hash join if too much memory is being used by a small number of buckets. However, this only helps if a bucket's population is actually divisible; if all the hash keys are alike, the tuples still end up in the same new bucket. This can result in an OOM failure if there are enough inner keys with identical hash values. The planner's cost estimates will bias it against choosing a hash join in such situations, but not by so much that it will never do so. To mitigate the OOM hazard, explicitly estimate the hash bucket space needed by just the inner side's most common value, and if that would exceed work_mem then add disable_cost to the hash cost estimate. This approach doesn't account for the possibility that two or more common values would share the same hash value. On the other hand, work_mem is normally a fairly conservative bound, so that eating two or more times that much space is probably not going to kill us. If we have no stats about the inner side, ignore this consideration. There was some discussion of making a conservative assumption, but that would effectively result in disabling hash join whenever we lack stats, which seems like an overreaction given how seldom the problem manifests in the field. Per a complaint from David Hinkle. Although this could be viewed as a bug fix, the lack of similar complaints weighs against back- patching; indeed we waited for v11 because it seemed already rather late in the v10 cycle to be making plan choice changes like this one.

* Fix error handling path in autovacuum launcherAlvaro Herrera2017-08-15
| | | | | | | | | | | The original code (since 00e6a16d01) was assuming aborting the transaction in autovacuum launcher was sufficient to release all resources, but in reality the launcher runs quite a lot of code out of any transactions. Re-introduce individual cleanup calls to make abort more robust. Reported-by: Robert Haas Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CA+TgmobQVbz4K_+RSmiM9HeRKpy3vS5xnbkL95gSEnWijzprKQ@mail.gmail.com
* Assorted preparatory refactoring for partition-wise join.Robert Haas2017-08-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of duplicating the logic to search for a matching ParamPathInfo in multiple places, factor it out into a separate function. Pass only the relevant bits of the PartitionKey to partition_bounds_equal instead of the whole thing, because partition-wise join will want to call this without having a PartitionKey available. Adjust allow_star_schema_join and calc_nestloop_required_outer to take relevant Relids rather than the entire Path, because partition-wise join will want to call it with the top-parent relids to determine whether a child join is allowable.

* Simplify plpgsql's check for simple expressions.Tom Lane2017-08-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | plpgsql wants to recognize expressions that it can execute directly via ExecEvalExpr() instead of going through the full SPI machinery. Originally the test for this consisted of recursively groveling through the post-planning expression tree to see if it contained only nodes that plpgsql recognized as safe. That was a major maintenance headache, since it required updating plpgsql every time we added any kind of expression node. It was also kind of expensive, so over time we added various pre-planning checks to try to short-circuit having to do that. Robert Haas pointed out that as of the SRF-processing changes in v10, particularly the addition of Query.hasTargetSRFs, there really isn't any reason to make the recursive scan at all: the initial checks cover everything we really care about. We do have to make sure that those checks agree with what inline_function() considers, so that inlining of a function that formerly wasn't inlined can't cause an expression considered simple to become non-simple. Hence, delete the recursive function exec_simple_check_node(), and tweak those other tests to more exactly agree with inline_function(). Adjust some comments and function naming to match.

* Distinguish wait-for-connection from wait-for-write-ready on Windows.Tom Lane2017-08-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The API for WaitLatch and friends followed the Unix convention in which waiting for a socket connection to complete is identical to waiting for the socket to accept a write. While Windows provides a select(2) emulation that agrees with that, the native WaitForMultipleObjects API treats them as quite different --- and for some bizarre reason, it will report a not-yet-connected socket as write-ready. libpq itself has so far escaped dealing with this because it waits with select(), but in libpqwalreceiver.c we want to wait using WaitLatchOrSocket. The semantics mismatch resulted in replication connection failures on Windows, but only for remote connections (apparently, localhost connections complete immediately, or at least too fast for anyone to have noticed the problem in single-machine testing). To fix, introduce an additional WL_SOCKET_CONNECTED wait flag for WaitLatchOrSocket, which is identical to WL_SOCKET_WRITEABLE on non-Windows, but results in waiting for FD_CONNECT events on Windows. Ideally, we would also distinguish the two conditions in the API for PQconnectPoll(), but changing that API at this point seems infeasible. Instead, cheat by checking for PQstatus() == CONNECTION_STARTED to determine that we're still waiting for the connection to complete. (This is a cheat mainly because CONNECTION_STARTED is documented as an internal state rather than something callers should rely on. Perhaps we ought to change the documentation ... but this patch doesn't.) Per reports from Jobin Augustine and Igor Neyman. Back-patch to v10 where commit 1e8a85009 exposed this longstanding shortcoming.

* Teach adjust_appendrel_attrs(_multilevel) to do multiple translations.Robert Haas2017-08-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, child relations are always base relations, so when we translate parent relids to child relids, we only need to translate a singler relid. However, the proposed partition-wise join feature will create child joins, which will mean we need to translate a set of parent relids to the corresponding child relids. This is preliminary refactoring to make that possible. Ashutosh Bapat. Review and testing of the larger patch set of which this is a part by Amit Langote, Rajkumar Raghuwanshi, Rafia Sabih, Thomas Munro, Dilip Kumar, and me. Some adjustments, mostly cosmetic, by me.
