* Fix DROP {DATABASE,TABLESPACE} on Windows.Thomas Munro2022-02-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, it was possible for DROP DATABASE, DROP TABLESPACE and ALTER DATABASE SET TABLESPACE to fail because other backends still had file handles open for dropped tables. Windows won't allow a directory containing unlinked-but-still-open files to be unlinked. Tackle this problem by forcing all backends to close all smgr fds. No change for Unix systems, which don't suffer from the problem, but the new code path can be tested by Unix-based developers by defining USE_BARRIER_SMGRRELEASE explicitly. It's possible that PROCSIGNAL_BARRIER_SMGRRELEASE will have more bug-fixing applications soon (under discussion). Note that this is the first user of the ProcSignalBarrier mechanism from commit 16a4e4aec. It could in principle be back-patched as far as 14, but since field complaints are rare and ProcSignalBarrier hasn't been battle-tested, that seems like a bad idea. Fix in master only, where these failures have started to show up in automated testing due to new tests.

* Add function to log the memory contexts of specified backend process.Fujii Masao2021-04-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 3e98c0bafb added pg_backend_memory_contexts view to display the memory contexts of the backend process. However its target process is limited to the backend that is accessing to the view. So this is not so convenient when investigating the local memory bloat of other backend process. To improve this situation, this commit adds pg_log_backend_memory_contexts() function that requests to log the memory contexts of the specified backend process. This information can be also collected by calling MemoryContextStats(TopMemoryContext) via a debugger. But this technique cannot be used in some environments because no debugger is available there. So, pg_log_backend_memory_contexts() allows us to see the memory contexts of specified backend more easily. Only superusers are allowed to request to log the memory contexts because allowing any users to issue this request at an unbounded rate would cause lots of log messages and which can lead to denial of service. On receipt of the request, at the next CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS(), the target backend logs its memory contexts at LOG_SERVER_ONLY level, so that these memory contexts will appear in the server log but not be sent to the client. It logs one message per memory context. Because if it buffers all memory contexts into StringInfo to log them as one message, which may require the buffer to be enlarged very much and lead to OOM error since there can be a large number of memory contexts in a backend. When a backend process is consuming huge memory, logging all its memory contexts might overrun available disk space. To prevent this, now this patch limits the number of child contexts to log per parent to 100. As with MemoryContextStats(), it supposes that practical cases where the log gets long will typically be huge numbers of siblings under the same parent context; while the additional debugging value from seeing details about individual siblings beyond 100 will not be large. There was another proposed patch to add the function to return the memory contexts of specified backend as the result sets, instead of logging them, in the discussion. However that patch is not included in this commit because it had several issues to address.

* Avoid potential spinlock in a signal handler as part of global barriers.Andres Freund2020-06-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On platforms without support for 64bit atomic operations where we also cannot rely on 64bit reads to have single copy atomicity, such atomics are implemented using a spinlock based fallback. That means it's not safe to even read such atomics from within a signal handler (since the signal handler might run when the spinlock already is held). To avoid this issue defer global barrier processing out of the signal handler. Instead of checking local / shared barrier generation to determine whether to set ProcSignalBarrierPending, introduce PROCSIGNAL_BARRIER and always set ProcSignalBarrierPending when receiving such a signal. Additionally avoid redundant work in ProcessProcSignalBarrier if ProcSignalBarrierPending is unnecessarily. Also do a small amount of other polishing.

* Extend the ProcSignal mechanism to support barriers.Robert Haas2019-12-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A new function EmitProcSignalBarrier() can be used to emit a global barrier which all backends that participate in the ProcSignal mechanism must absorb, and a new function WaitForProcSignalBarrier() can be used to wait until all relevant backends have in fact absorbed the barrier. This can be used to coordinate global state changes, such as turning checksums on while the system is running. There's no real client of this mechanism yet, although two are proposed, but an enum has to have at least one element, so this includes a placeholder type (PROCSIGNAL_BARRIER_PLACEHOLDER) which should be replaced by the first real client of this mechanism to get committed.

* Phase 2 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments following #endif to not obey the general rule. Commit e3860ffa4dd0dad0dd9eea4be9cc1412373a8c89 wasn't actually using the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of code. The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's code there. BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs. So the net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed one tab stop left of before. This is better all around: it leaves more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after. Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else. That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

* Prevent possibility of panics during shutdown checkpoint.Andres Freund2017-06-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the checkpointer writes the shutdown checkpoint, it checks afterwards whether any WAL has been written since it started and throws a PANIC if so. At that point, only walsenders are still active, so one might think this could not happen, but walsenders can also generate WAL, for instance in BASE_BACKUP and logical decoding related commands (e.g. via hint bits). So they can trigger this panic if such a command is run while the shutdown checkpoint is being written. To fix this, divide the walsender shutdown into two phases. First, checkpointer, itself triggered by postmaster, sends a PROCSIG_WALSND_INIT_STOPPING signal to all walsenders. If the backend is idle or runs an SQL query this causes the backend to shutdown, if logical replication is in progress all existing WAL records are processed followed by a shutdown. Otherwise this causes the walsender to switch to the "stopping" state. In this state, the walsender will reject any further replication commands. The checkpointer begins the shutdown checkpoint once all walsenders are confirmed as stopping. When the shutdown checkpoint finishes, the postmaster sends us SIGUSR2. This instructs walsender to send any outstanding WAL, including the shutdown checkpoint record, wait for it to be replicated to the standby, and then exit.

* Remove set_latch_on_sigusr1 flag.Robert Haas2015-10-09
| | | | | | | | | This flag has proven to be a recipe for bugs, and it doesn't seem like it can really buy anything in terms of performance. So let's just *always* set the process latch when we receive SIGUSR1 instead of trying to do it only when needed. Per my recent proposal on pgsql-hackers.
* Create an infrastructure for parallel computation in PostgreSQL.Robert Haas2015-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This does four basic things. First, it provides convenience routines to coordinate the startup and shutdown of parallel workers. Second, it synchronizes various pieces of state (e.g. GUCs, combo CID mappings, transaction snapshot) from the parallel group leader to the worker processes. Third, it prohibits various operations that would result in unsafe changes to that state while parallelism is active. Finally, it propagates events that would result in an ErrorResponse, NoticeResponse, or NotifyResponse message being sent to the client from the parallel workers back to the master, from which they can then be sent on to the client.

* Split work of bgwriter between 2 processes: bgwriter and checkpointer.Simon Riggs2011-11-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | bgwriter is now a much less important process, responsible for page cleaning duties only. checkpointer is now responsible for checkpoints and so has a key role in shutdown. Later patches will correct doc references to the now old idea that bgwriter performs checkpoints. Has beneficial effect on performance at high write rates, but mainly refactoring to more easily allow changes for power reduction by simplifying previously tortuous code around required to allow page cleaning and checkpointing to time slice in the same process.

| | | | | | | | process. If startup waits on a buffer pin we send a request to all backends to cancel themselves if they are holding the buffer pin required and they are also waiting on a lock.

* Create a multiplexing structure for signals to Postgres child processes.Tom Lane2009-07-31
This patch gets us out from under the Unix limitation of two user-defined signal types. We already had done something similar for signals directed to the postmaster process; this adds multiplexing for signals directed to backends and auxiliary processes (so long as they're connected to shared memory). As proof of concept, replace the former usage of SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 for backends with use of the multiplexing mechanism. There are still some hard-wired definitions of SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2 for other process types, but getting rid of those doesn't seem interesting at the moment. Fujii Masao
