* Prevent excess SimpleLruTruncate() deletion.Noah Misch2021-01-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Every core SLRU wraps around. With the exception of pg_notify, the wrap point can fall in the middle of a page. Account for this in the PagePrecedes callback specification and in SimpleLruTruncate()'s use of said callback. Update each callback implementation to fit the new specification. This changes SerialPagePrecedesLogically() from the style of asyncQueuePagePrecedes() to the style of CLOGPagePrecedes(). (Whereas pg_clog and pg_serial share a key space, pg_serial is nothing like pg_notify.) The bug fixed here has the same symptoms and user followup steps as 592a589a04bd456410b853d86bd05faa9432cbbb.

* Rename wal_keep_segments to wal_keep_size.Fujii Masao2020-07-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | max_slot_wal_keep_size that was added in v13 and wal_keep_segments are the GUC parameters to specify how much WAL files to retain for the standby servers. While max_slot_wal_keep_size accepts the number of bytes of WAL files, wal_keep_segments accepts the number of WAL files. This difference of setting units between those similar parameters could be confusing to users. To alleviate this situation, this commit renames wal_keep_segments to wal_keep_size, and make users specify the WAL size in it instead of the number of WAL files. There was also the idea to rename max_slot_wal_keep_size to max_slot_wal_keep_segments, in the discussion. But we have been moving away from measuring in segments, for example, checkpoint_segments was replaced by max_wal_size. So we concluded to rename wal_keep_segments to wal_keep_size. Back-patch to v13 where max_slot_wal_keep_size was added.

* Fix misuse of table_index_fetch_tuple_check().Peter Geoghegan2020-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 0d861bbb, which added deduplication to nbtree, had _bt_check_unique() pass a TID to table_index_fetch_tuple_check() that isn't safe to mutate. table_index_fetch_tuple_check()'s tid argument is modified when the TID in question is not the latest visible tuple in a hot chain, though this wasn't documented.

* Adjust max_slot_wal_keep_size behavior per reviewAlvaro Herrera2020-06-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In pg_replication_slot, change output from normal/reserved/lost to reserved/extended/unreserved/ lost, which better expresses the possible states particularly near the time where segments are no longer safe but checkpoint has not run yet. Under the new definition, reserved means the slot is consuming WAL that's still under the normal WAL size constraints; extended means it's consuming WAL that's being protected by wal_keep_segments or the slot itself, whose size is below max_slot_wal_keep_size; unreserved means the WAL is no longer safe, but checkpoint has not yet removed those files. Such as slot is in imminent danger, but can still continue for a little while and may catch up to the reserved WAL space. Also, there were some bugs in the calculations used to report the status; fixed those. Backpatch to 13.

* Fix deduplication "single value" strategy bug.Peter Geoghegan2020-06-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It was possible for deduplication's single value strategy to mistakenly believe that a very small duplicate tuple counts as one of the six large tuples that it aims to leave behind after the page finally splits. This could cause slightly suboptimal space utilization with very low cardinality indexes, though only under fairly narrow conditions. To fix, be particular about what kind of tuple counts as a maxpostingsize-capped tuple. This avoids confusion in the event of a small tuple that gets "wedged" between two large tuples, where all tuples on the page are duplicates of the same value.

* Fix crash in WAL sender when starting physical replicationMichael Paquier2020-06-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since database connections can be used with WAL senders in 9.4, it is possible to use physical replication. This commit fixes a crash when starting physical replication with a WAL sender using a database connection, caused by the refactoring done in 850196b. There have been discussions about forbidding the use of physical replication in a database connection, but this is left for later, taking care only of the crash new to 13. While on it, add a test to check for a failure when attempting logical replication if the WAL sender does not have a database connection.

* Rename SLRU structures and associated LWLocks.Tom Lane2020-05-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Originally, the names assigned to SLRUs had no purpose other than being shmem lookup keys, so not a lot of thought went into them. As of v13, though, we're exposing them in the pg_stat_slru view and the pg_stat_reset_slru function, so it seems advisable to take a bit more care. Rename them to names based on the associated on-disk storage directories (which fortunately we *did* think about, to some extent; since those are also visible to DBAs, consistency seems like a good thing). Also rename the associated LWLocks, since those names are likewise user-exposed now as wait event names. For the most part I only touched symbols used in the respective modules' SimpleLruInit() calls, not the names of other related objects. This renaming could have been taken further, and maybe someday we will do so. But for now it seems undesirable to change the names of any globally visible functions or structs, so some inconsistency is unavoidable. (But I *did* terminate "oldserxid" with prejudice, as I found that name both unreadable and not descriptive of the SLRU's contents.) Table 27.12 needs re-alphabetization now, but I'll leave that till after the other LWLock renamings I have in mind. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/28683.1589405363@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Improve management of SLRU statistics collection.Tom Lane2020-05-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of re-identifying which statistics bucket to use for a given SLRU on every counter increment, do it once during shmem initialization. This saves a fair number of cycles, and there's no real cost because we could not have a bucket assignment that varies over time or across backends anyway. Also, get rid of the ill-considered decision to let pgstat.c pry directly into SLRU's shared state; it's cleaner just to have slru.c pass the stats bucket number. In consequence of these changes, there's no longer any need to store an SLRU's LWLock tranche info in shared memory, so get rid of that, making this a net reduction in shmem consumption. (That partly reverts fe702a7b3.) This is basically code review for 28cac71bd, so I also cleaned up some comments, removed a dangling extern declaration, fixed some things that should be static and/or const, etc. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/3618.1589313035@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Adjust walsender usage of xlogreader, simplify APIsAlvaro Herrera2020-05-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Have both physical and logical walsender share a 'xlogreader' state struct for tracking state. This replaces the existing globals sendSeg and sendCxt. * Change WALRead not to receive XLogReaderState->seg and ->segcxt as separate arguments anymore; just use the ones from 'state'. This is made possible by the above change. * have the XLogReader segment_open contract require the callbacks to install the file descriptor in the state struct themselves instead of returning it. xlogreader was already ignoring any possible failed return from the callbacks, relying solely on them never returning. (This point is not altogether excellent, as it means the callbacks have to know more of XLogReaderState; but to really improve on that we would have to pass back error info from the callbacks to xlogreader. And the complexity would not be saved but instead just transferred to the callers of WALRead, which would have to learn how to throw errors from the open_segment callback in addition of, as currently, from pg_pread.) * segment_open no longer receives the 'segcxt' as a separate argument, since it's part of the XLogReaderState argument.

* Adjust "root of to-be-deleted subtree" function.Peter Geoghegan2020-05-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Restructure the function that locates the root of the to-be-deleted subtree during nbtree page deletion. Handle the conditions that make page deletion unsafe in a slightly more uniform way, and acknowledge the fact that the behavior with incomplete splits on internal pages is different (as pointed out in the nbtree README as of commit 35bc0ec7). Also invent new terminology that avoids ambiguity around which pages are about to be deleted. Consistently use the term "to-be-deleted subtree", not the ambiguous term "branch". We were calling the subtree parent page the "top parent page", but that was quite misleading. The top parent page usually refers to a page unlinked from its siblings and marked deleted (during the second stage of page deletion). There was one kind of top parent page that we merely removed a downlink from, and another kind of top parent page that we actually marked deleted. Eliminate the ambiguity by inventing a new term ("subtree parent page") that refers to the former kind of page only.

XLogReader's system for opening and closing segments had gotten too complicated, with callbacks being passed at both the XLogReaderAllocate level (read_page) as well as at the WALRead level (segment_open). This was confusing and hard to follow, so restructure things so that these callbacks are passed together at XLogReaderAllocate time, and add another callback to the set (segment_close) to make it a coherent whole. Also, ensure XLogReaderState is an argument to all the callbacks, so that they can grab at the ->private data if necessary. Document the whole arrangement more clearly.

* Get rid of trailing semicolons in C macro definitions.Tom Lane2020-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Writing a trailing semicolon in a macro is almost never the right thing, because you almost always want to write a semicolon after each macro call instead. (Even if there was some reason to prefer not to, pgindent would probably make a hash of code formatted that way; so within PG the rule should basically be "don't do it".) Thus, if we have a semi inside the macro, the compiler sees "something;;". Much of the time the extra empty statement is harmless, but it could lead to mysterious syntax errors at call sites. In perhaps an overabundance of neatnik-ism, let's run around and get rid of the excess semicolons whereever possible. The only thing worse than a mysterious syntax error is a mysterious syntax error that only happens in the back branches; therefore, backpatch these changes where relevant, which is most of them because most of these mistakes are old. (The lack of reported problems shows that this is largely a hypothetical issue, but still, it could bite us in some future patch.)

* Fix undercounting in VACUUM VERBOSE output.Peter Geoghegan2020-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The logic for determining how many nbtree pages in an index are deleted pages sometimes undercounted pages. Pages that were deleted by the current VACUUM operation (as opposed to some previous VACUUM operation whose deleted pages have yet to be reused) were sometimes overlooked. The final count is exposed to users through VACUUM VERBOSE's "%u index pages have been deleted" output. btvacuumpage() avoided double-counting when _bt_pagedel() deleted more than one page by assuming that only one page was deleted, and that the additional deleted pages would get picked up during a future call to btvacuumpage() by the same VACUUM operation. _bt_pagedel() can legitimately delete pages that the btvacuumscan() scan will not visit again, though, so that assumption was slightly faulty. Fix the accounting by teaching _bt_pagedel() about its caller's requirements. It now only reports on pages that it knows btvacuumscan() won't visit again (including the current btvacuumpage() page), so everything works out in the end. This bug has been around forever. Only backpatch to v11, though, to keep _bt_pagedel() is sync on the branches that have today's bugfix commit b0229f26da. Note that this commit changes the signature of _bt_pagedel(), just like commit b0229f26da.

* Fix bug in nbtree VACUUM "skip full scan" feature.Peter Geoghegan2020-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 857f9c36cda (which taught nbtree VACUUM to skip a scan of the index from btcleanup in situations where it doesn't seem worth it) made VACUUM maintain the oldest btpo.xact among all deleted pages for the index as a whole. It failed to handle all the details surrounding pages that are deleted by the current VACUUM operation correctly (though pages deleted by some previous VACUUM operation were processed correctly). The most immediate problem was that the special area of the page was examined without a buffer pin at one point. More fundamentally, the handling failed to account for the full range of _bt_pagedel() behaviors. For example, _bt_pagedel() sometimes deletes internal pages in passing, as part of deleting an entire subtree with btvacuumpage() caller's page as the leaf level page. The original leaf page passed to _bt_pagedel() might not be the page that it deletes first in cases where deletion can take place. It's unclear how disruptive this bug may have been, or what symptoms users might want to look out for. The issue was spotted during unrelated code review. To fix, push down the logic for maintaining the oldest btpo.xact to _bt_pagedel(). btvacuumpage() is now responsible for pages that were fully deleted by a previous VACUUM operation, while _bt_pagedel() is now responsible for pages that were deleted by the current VACUUM operation (this includes half-dead pages from a previous interrupted VACUUM operation that become fully deleted in _bt_pagedel()). Note that _bt_pagedel() should never encounter an existing deleted page. This commit theoretically breaks the ABI of a stable release by changing the signature of _bt_pagedel(). However, if any third party extension is actually affected by this, then it must already be completely broken (since there are numerous assumptions made in _bt_pagedel() that cannot be met outside of VACUUM). It seems highly unlikely that such an extension actually exists, in any case.

* Fix handling of WAL segments ready to be archived during crash recoveryMichael Paquier2020-04-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 78ea8b5 has fixed an issue related to the recycling of WAL segments on standbys depending on archive_mode. However, it has introduced a regression with the handling of WAL segments ready to be archived during crash recovery, causing those files to be recycled without getting archived. This commit fixes the regression by tracking in shared memory if a live cluster is either in crash recovery or archive recovery as the handling of WAL segments ready to be archived is different in both cases (those WAL segments should not be removed during crash recovery), and by using this new shared memory state to decide if a segment can be recycled or not. Previously, it was not possible to know if a cluster was in crash recovery or archive recovery as the shared state was able to track only if recovery was happening or not, leading to the problem. A set of TAP tests is added to close the gap here, making sure that WAL segments ready to be archived are correctly handled when a cluster is in archive or crash recovery with archive_mode set to "on" or "always", for both standby and primary.

* Harmonize nbtree page split point code.Peter Geoghegan2020-04-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An nbtree split point can be thought of as a point between two adjoining tuples from an imaginary version of the page being split that includes the incoming/new item (in addition to the items that really are on the page). These adjoining tuples are called the lastleft and firstright tuples. The variables that represent split points contained a field called firstright, which is an offset number of the first data item from the original page that goes on the new right page. The corresponding tuple from origpage was usually the same thing as the actual firstright tuple, but not always: the firstright tuple is sometimes the new/incoming item instead. This situation seems unnecessarily confusing. Make things clearer by renaming the origpage offset returned by _bt_findsplitloc() to "firstrightoff". We now have a firstright tuple and a firstrightoff offset number which are comparable to the newitem/lastleft tuples and the newitemoff/lastleftoff offset numbers respectively. Also make sure that we are consistent about how we describe nbtree page split point state. Push the responsibility for dealing with pg_upgrade'd !heapkeyspace indexes down to lower level code, relieving _bt_split() from dealing with it directly. This means that we always have a palloc'd left page high key on the leaf level, no matter what. This enables simplifying some of the code (and code comments) within _bt_split(). Finally, restructure the page split code to make it clearer why suffix truncation (which only takes place during leaf page splits) is completely different to the first data item truncation that takes place during internal page splits. Tuples are marked as having fewer attributes stored in both cases, and the firstright tuple is truncated in both cases, so it's easy to imagine somebody missing the distinction.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Bump XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC, since this introduces XLOG_GIST_ASSIGN_LSN. Future servers accept older WAL, so this bump is discretionary.

* Add infrastructure to track WAL usage.Amit Kapila2020-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows gathering the WAL generation statistics for each statement execution. The three statistics that we collect are the number of WAL records, the number of full page writes and the amount of WAL bytes generated. This helps the users who have write-intensive workload to see the impact of I/O due to WAL. This further enables us to see approximately what percentage of overall WAL is due to full page writes. In the future, we can extend this functionality to allow us to compute the the exact amount of WAL data due to full page writes. This patch in itself is just an infrastructure to compute WAL usage data. The upcoming patches will expose this data via explain, auto_explain, pg_stat_statements and verbose (auto)vacuum output.

* Implement operator class parametersAlexander Korotkov2020-03-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PostgreSQL provides set of template index access methods, where opclasses have much freedom in the semantics of indexing. These index AMs are GiST, GIN, SP-GiST and BRIN. There opclasses define representation of keys, operations on them and supported search strategies. So, it's natural that opclasses may be faced some tradeoffs, which require user-side decision. This commit implements opclass parameters allowing users to set some values, which tell opclass how to index the particular dataset. This commit doesn't introduce new storage in system catalog. Instead it uses pg_attribute.attoptions, which is used for table column storage options but unused for index attributes. In order to evade changing signature of each opclass support function, we implement unified way to pass options to opclass support functions. Options are set to fn_expr as the constant bytea expression. It's possible due to the fact that opclass support functions are executed outside of expressions, so fn_expr is unused for them. This commit comes with some examples of opclass options usage. We parametrize signature length in GiST. That applies to multiple opclasses: tsvector_ops, gist__intbig_ops, gist_ltree_ops, gist__ltree_ops, gist_trgm_ops and gist_hstore_ops. Also we parametrize maximum number of integer ranges for gist__int_ops. However, the main future usage of this feature is expected to be json, where users would be able to specify which way to index particular json parts. Catversion is bumped.

* Improve handling of parameter differences in physical replicationPeter Eisentraut2020-03-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When certain parameters are changed on a physical replication primary, this is communicated to standbys using the XLOG_PARAMETER_CHANGE WAL record. The standby then checks whether its own settings are at least as big as the ones on the primary. If not, the standby shuts down with a fatal error. The correspondence of settings between primary and standby is required because those settings influence certain shared memory sizings that are required for processing WAL records that the primary might send. For example, if the primary sends a prepared transaction, the standby must have had max_prepared_transaction set appropriately or it won't be able to process those WAL records. However, fatally shutting down the standby immediately upon receipt of the parameter change record might be a bit of an overreaction. The resources related to those settings are not required immediately at that point, and might never be required if the activity on the primary does not exhaust all those resources. If we just let the standby roll on with recovery, it will eventually produce an appropriate error when those resources are used. So this patch relaxes this a bit. Upon receipt of XLOG_PARAMETER_CHANGE, we still check the settings but only issue a warning and set a global flag if there is a problem. Then when we actually hit the resource issue and the flag was set, we issue another warning message with relevant information. At that point we pause recovery, so a hot standby remains usable. We also repeat the last warning message once a minute so it is harder to miss or ignore.

* Set wal_receiver_create_temp_slot PGC_POSTMASTERAlvaro Herrera2020-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 329730827848 gave walreceiver the ability to create and use a temporary replication slot, and made it controllable by a GUC (enabled by default) that can be changed with SIGHUP. That's useful but has two problems: one, it's possible to cause the origin server to fill its disk if the slot doesn't advance in time; and also there's a disconnect between state passed down via the startup process and GUCs that walreceiver reads directly. We handle the first problem by setting the option to disabled by default. If the user enables it, its on their head to make sure that disk doesn't fill up. We handle the second problem by passing the flag via startup rather than having walreceiver acquire it directly, and making it PGC_POSTMASTER (which ensures a walreceiver always has the fresh value). A future commit can relax this (to PGC_SIGHUP again) by having the startup process signal walreceiver to shutdown whenever the value changes.

* Prefer standby promotion over recovery pause.Fujii Masao2020-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously if a promotion was triggered while recovery was paused, the paused state continued. Also recovery could be paused by executing pg_wal_replay_pause() even while a promotion was ongoing. That is, recovery pause had higher priority over a standby promotion. But this behavior was not desirable because most users basically wanted the recovery to complete as soon as possible and the server to become the master when they requested a promotion. This commit changes recovery so that it prefers a promotion over recovery pause. That is, if a promotion is triggered while recovery is paused, the paused state ends and a promotion continues. Also this commit makes recovery pause functions like pg_wal_replay_pause() throw an error if they are executed while a promotion is ongoing. Internally, this commit adds new internal function PromoteIsTriggered() that returns true if a promotion is triggered. Since the name of this function and the existing function IsPromoteTriggered() are confusingly similar, the commit changes the name of IsPromoteTriggered() to IsPromoteSignaled, as more appropriate name.

* Introduce macros for typalign and typstorage constants.Tom Lane2020-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Our usual practice for "poor man's enum" catalog columns is to define macros for the possible values and use those, not literal constants, in C code. But for some reason lost in the mists of time, this was never done for typalign/attalign or typstorage/attstorage. It's never too late to make it better though, so let's do that. The reason I got interested in this right now is the need to duplicate some uses of the TYPSTORAGE constants in an upcoming ALTER TYPE patch. But in general, this sort of change aids greppability and readability, so it's a good idea even without any specific motivation. I may have missed a few places that could be converted, and it's even more likely that pending patches will re-introduce some hard-coded references. But that's not fatal --- there's no expectation that we'd actually change any of these values. We can clean up stragglers over time. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16457.1583189537@sss.pgh.pa.us
