* Fix handling of files that source server removes during pg_rewind is running.Fujii Masao2018-03-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After processing the filemap to build the list of chunks that will be fetched from the source to rewing the target server, it is possible that a file which was previously processed is removed from the source. A simple example of such an occurence is a WAL segment which gets recycled on the target in-between. When the filemap is processed, files not categorized as relation files are first truncated to prepare for its full copy of which is going to be taken from the source, divided into a set of junks. However, for a recycled WAL segment, this would result in a segment which has a zero-byte size. With such an empty file, post-rewind recovery thinks that records are saved but they are actually not because of the truncation which happened when processing the filemap, resulting in data loss. In order to fix the problem, make sure that files which are found as removed on the source when receiving chunks of them are as well deleted on the target server for consistency. Back-patch to 9.5 where pg_rewind was added.

* Empty search_path in Autovacuum and non-psql/pgbench clients.Noah Misch2018-02-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes the client programs behave as documented regardless of the connect-time search_path and regardless of user-created objects. Today, a malicious user with CREATE permission on a search_path schema can take control of certain of these clients' queries and invoke arbitrary SQL functions under the client identity, often a superuser. This is exploitable in the default configuration, where all users have CREATE privilege on schema "public". This changes behavior of user-defined code stored in the database, like pg_index.indexprs and pg_extension_config_dump(). If they reach code bearing unqualified names, "does not exist" or "no schema has been selected to create in" errors might appear. Users may fix such errors by schema-qualifying affected names. After upgrading, consider watching server logs for these errors. The --table arguments of src/bin/scripts clients have been lax; for example, "vacuumdb -Zt pg_am\;CHECKPOINT" performed a checkpoint. That now fails, but for now, "vacuumdb -Zt 'pg_am(amname);CHECKPOINT'" still performs a checkpoint. Back-patch to 9.3 (all supported versions). Reviewed by Tom Lane, though this fix strategy was not his first choice. Reported by Arseniy Sharoglazov. Security: CVE-2018-1058

* pg_rewind: Fix some problems when copying files >2GB.Robert Haas2017-07-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When incrementally updating a file larger than 2GB, the old code could either fail outright (if the client asked the server for bytes beyond the 2GB boundary) or fail to copy all the blocks that had actually been modified (if the server reported a file size to the client in excess of 2GB), resulting in data corruption. Generally, such files won't occur anyway, but they might if using a non-default segment size or if there the directory contains stray files unrelated to PostgreSQL. Fix by a more prudent choice of data types. Even with these improvements, this code still uses a mix of different types (off_t, size_t, uint64, int64) to represent file sizes and offsets, not all of which necessarily have the same width or signedness, so further cleanup might be in order here. However, at least now they all have the potential to be 64 bits wide on 64-bit platforms. Kuntal Ghosh and Michael Paquier, with a tweak by me.

* pg_rewind: Fix busted sanity check.Robert Haas2017-07-21
| | | | | | | | As written, the code would only fail the sanity check if none of the columns returned by the server were of the expected type, but we want it to fail if even one column is not of the expected type.

* Disable synchronous commits in pg_rewind.Heikki Linnakangas2016-10-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If you point pg_rewind to a server that is using synchronous replication, with "pg_rewind --source-server=...", and the replication is not working for some reason, pg_rewind will get stuck because it creates a temporary table, which needs to be replicated. You could call broken replication a pilot error, but pg_rewind is often used in special circumstances, when there are changes to the replication setup. We don't do any "real" updates, and we don't care about fsyncing or replicating the operations on the temporary tables, so fix that by setting synchronous_commit off. Michael Banck, Michael Paquier. Backpatch to 9.5, where pg_rewind was introduced. Discussion: <20161005143938.GA12247@nighthawk.caipicrew.dd-dns.de>
* pg_rewind: Improve some messagesPeter Eisentraut2015-10-01
| | | | | | | The output of a typical pg_rewind run contained a mix of capitalized and not-capitalized and punctuated and not-punctuated phrases for no apparent reason. Make that consistent. Also fix some problems in other messages.
* Fix memory leaks in pg_rewind. Several PQclear() calls were missing.Heikki Linnakangas2015-07-27
| | | | | Originally reported by Vladimir Borodin in the pg_rewind github project, patch by Michael Paquier.
* Fix assorted memory leaks.Tom Lane2015-07-12
| | | | | | | | Per Coverity (not that any of these are so non-obvious that they should not have been caught before commit). The extent of leakage is probably minor to unnoticeable, but a leak is a leak. Back-patch as necessary. Michael Paquier
* Don't choke on files that are removed while pg_rewind runs.Heikki Linnakangas2015-06-28
| | | | | | | | | If a file is removed from the source server, while pg_rewind is running, the invocation of pg_read_binary_file() will fail. Use the just-added missing_ok option to that function, to have it return NULL instead, and handle that gracefully. And similarly for pg_ls_dir and pg_stat_file. Reported by Fujii Masao, fix by Michael Paquier.

* Fix some issues in pg_rewind.Fujii Masao2015-06-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Remove invalid option character "N" from the third argument (valid option string) of getopt_long(). * Use pg_free() or pfree() to free the memory allocated by pg_malloc() or palloc() instead of always using free(). * Assume problem is no disk space if write() fails but doesn't set errno. * Fix several typos. Patch by me. Review by Michael Paquier.
* Minor cleanup of pg_rewind.Heikki Linnakangas2015-04-15
| | | | | | | | | | Update comments and function names to use the terms "source" and "target" consistently. Some places were calling them remote and local instead, which was confusing. Fix incorrect comment in extractPageInfo on database creation record - it was wrong on what happens for databases created in the target that don't exist in source.
* Free leaked result set in pg_rewindHeikki Linnakangas2015-04-12
| | | | | | | It was not significant in practice, it was just one instance of a small result set, but let's pacify Coverity. Michael Paquier
* Fix multiple bugs and infelicities in pg_rewind.Tom Lane2015-03-29
| | | | | | | | | Bugs all spotted by Coverity, including wrong realloc() size request and memory leaks. Cosmetic improvements by me. The usage of the global variable "filemap" here is still pretty awful, but at least I got rid of the gratuitous aliasing in several routines (which was helping to annoy Coverity, as well as being a bug risk).
* Add pg_rewind, for re-synchronizing a master server after failback.Heikki Linnakangas2015-03-23
Earlier versions of this tool were available (and still are) on github. Thanks to Michael Paquier, Alvaro Herrera, Peter Eisentraut, Amit Kapila, and Satoshi Nagayasu for review.
