* Fix ruleutils.c for domain-over-array cases, too.Tom Lane2017-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Further investigation shows that ruleutils isn't quite up to speed either for cases where we have a domain-over-array: it needs to be prepared to look past a CoerceToDomain at the top level of field and element assignments, else it decompiles them incorrectly. Potentially this would result in failure to dump/reload a rule, if it looked like the one in the new test case. (I also added a test for EXPLAIN; that output isn't broken, but clearly we need more test coverage here.) Like commit b1cb32fb6, this bug is reachable in cases we already support, so back-patch all the way.
* Reduce memory usage of tsvector type analyze function.Heikki Linnakangas2017-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | compute_tsvector_stats() detoasted and kept in memory every tsvector value in the sample, but that can be a lot of memory. The original bug report described a case using over 10 gigabytes, with statistics target of 10000 (the maximum). To fix, allocate a separate copy of just the lexemes that we keep around, and free the detoasted tsvector values as we go. This adds some palloc/pfree overhead, when you have a lot of distinct lexemes in the sample, but it's better than running out of memory. Fixes bug #14654 reported by James C. Reviewed by Tom Lane. Backport to all supported versions. Discussion: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20170514200602.1451.46797@wrigleys.postgresql.org

* Avoid integer overflow while sifting-up a heap in tuplesort.c.Tom Lane2017-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the number of tuples in the heap exceeds approximately INT_MAX/2, this loop's calculation "2*i+1" could overflow, resulting in a crash. Fix it by using unsigned int rather than int for the relevant local variables; that shouldn't cost anything extra on any popular hardware. Per bug #14722 from Sergey Koposov. Original patch by Sergey Koposov, modified by me per a suggestion from Heikki Linnakangas to use unsigned int not int64. Back-patch to 9.4, where tuplesort.c grew the ability to sort as many as INT_MAX tuples in-memory (commit 263865a48). Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20170629161637.1478.93109@wrigleys.postgresql.org

* Fix ordering of operations in SyncRepWakeQueue to avoid assertion failure.Heikki Linnakangas2017-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 14e8803f1 removed the locking in SyncRepWaitForLSN, but that introduced a race condition, where SyncRepWaitForLSN might see syncRepState already set to SYNC_REP_WAIT_COMPLETE, but the process was not yet removed from the queue. That tripped the assertion, that the process should no longer be in the uqeue. Reorder the operations in SyncRepWakeQueue to remove the process from the queue first, and update syncRepState only after that, and add a memory barrier in between to make sure the operations are made visible to other processes in that order. Fixes bug #14721 reported by Const Zhang. Analysis and fix by Thomas Munro. Backpatch down to 9.5, where the locking was removed.

* Fix multiple assignments to a column of a domain type.Tom Lane2017-07-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We allow INSERT and UPDATE commands to assign to the same column more than once, as long as the assignments are to subfields or elements rather than the whole column. However, this failed when the target column was a domain over array rather than plain array. Fix by teaching process_matched_tle() to look through CoerceToDomain nodes, and add relevant test cases. Also add a group of test cases exercising domains over array of composite. It's doubtless accidental that CREATE DOMAIN allows this case while not allowing straight domain over composite; but it does, so we'd better make sure we don't break it. (I could not find any documentation mentioning either side of that, so no doc changes.) It's been like this for a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches.

* On Windows, retry process creation if we fail to reserve shared memory.Tom Lane2017-07-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We've heard occasional reports of backend launch failing because pgwin32_ReserveSharedMemoryRegion() fails, indicating that something has already used that address space in the child process. It's not very clear what, given that we disable ASLR in Windows builds, but suspicion falls on antivirus products. It'd be better if we didn't have to disable ASLR, anyway. So let's try to ameliorate the problem by retrying the process launch after such a failure, up to 100 times. Patch by me, based on previous work by Amit Kapila and others. This is a longstanding issue, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAA4eK1+R6hSx6t_yvwtx+NRzneVp+MRqXAdGJZChcau8Uij-8g@mail.gmail.com

* Fix walsender to exit promptly if client requests shutdown.Tom Lane2017-06-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's possible for WalSndWaitForWal to be asked to wait for WAL that doesn't exist yet. That's fine, in fact it's the normal situation if we're caught up; but when the client requests shutdown we should not keep waiting.

* Second try at fixing tcp_keepalives_idle option on Solaris.Tom Lane2017-06-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Buildfarm evidence shows that TCP_KEEPALIVE_THRESHOLD doesn't exist after all on Solaris < 11. This means we need to take positive action to prevent the TCP_KEEPALIVE code path from being taken on that platform. I've chosen to limit it with "&& defined(__darwin__)", since it's unclear that anyone else would follow Apple's precedent of spelling the symbol that way. Also, follow a suggestion from Michael Paquier of eliminating code duplication by defining a couple of intermediate symbols for the socket option. In passing, make some effort to reduce the number of translatable messages by replacing "setsockopt(foo) failed" with "setsockopt(%s) failed", etc, throughout the affected files. And update relevant documentation so that it doesn't claim to provide an exhaustive list of the possible socket option names.

* Do not require 'public' to exist for pg_dump -cStephen Frost2017-06-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 330b84d8c4 didn't contemplate the case where the public schema has been dropped and introduced a query which fails when there is no public schema into pg_dump (when used with -c). Adjust the query used by pg_dump to handle the case where the public schema doesn't exist and add tests to check that such a case no longer fails. Back-patch the specific fix to 9.6, as the prior commit was. Adding tests for this case involved adding support to the pg_dump TAP tests to work with multiple databases, which, while not a large change, is a bit much to back-patch, so that's only done in master.

* Support tcp_keepalives_idle option on Solaris.Tom Lane2017-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Turns out that the socket option for this is named TCP_KEEPALIVE_THRESHOLD, at least according to the tcp(7P) man page for Solaris 11. (But since that text refers to "SunOS", it's likely pretty ancient.) It appears that the symbol TCP_KEEPALIVE does get defined on that platform, but it doesn't seem to represent a valid protocol-level socket option. This leads to bleats in the postmaster log, and no tcp_keepalives_idle functionality. Per bug #14720 from Andrey Lizenko, as well as an earlier report from Dhiraj Chawla that nobody had followed up on. The issue's been there since we added the TCP_KEEPALIVE code path in commit 5acd417c8, so back-patch to all supported branches.

* Re-allow SRFs and window functions within sub-selects within aggregates.Tom Lane2017-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | check_agg_arguments_walker threw an error upon seeing a SRF or window function, but that is too aggressive: if the function is within a sub-select then it's perfectly fine. I broke the SRF case in commit 0436f6bde by copying the logic for window functions ... but that was broken too, and had been since commit eaccfded9. Repair both cases in HEAD, and the window function case back to 9.3. 9.2 gets this right.
* Reduce wal_retrieve_retry_interval in applicable TAP tests.Tom Lane2017-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By default, wal_retrieve_retry_interval is five seconds, which is far more than is needed in any of our TAP tests, leaving the test cases just twiddling their thumbs for significant stretches. Moreover, because it's so large, we get basically no testing of the retry-before- master-is-ready code path. Hence, make PostgresNode::init set up wal_retrieve_retry_interval = '500ms' as part of its customization of test clusters' postgresql.conf. This shaves quite a few seconds off the runtime of the recovery TAP tests. Back-patch into 9.6. We have wal_retrieve_retry_interval in 9.5, but the test infrastructure isn't there.

* Don't lose walreceiver start requests due to race condition in postmaster.Tom Lane2017-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a walreceiver dies, the startup process will notice that and send a PMSIGNAL_START_WALRECEIVER signal to the postmaster, asking for a new walreceiver to be launched. There's a race condition, which at least in HEAD is very easy to hit, whereby the postmaster might see that signal before it processes the SIGCHLD from the walreceiver process. In that situation, sigusr1_handler() just dropped the start request on the floor, reasoning that it must be redundant. Eventually, after 10 seconds (WALRCV_STARTUP_TIMEOUT), the startup process would make a fresh request --- but that's a long time if the connection could have been re-established almost immediately. Fix it by setting a state flag inside the postmaster that we won't clear until we do launch a walreceiver. In cases where that results in an extra walreceiver launch, it's up to the walreceiver to realize it's unwanted and go away --- but we have, and need, that logic anyway for the opposite race case. I came across this through investigating unexpected delays in the src/test/recovery TAP tests: it manifests there in test cases where a master server is stopped and restarted while leaving streaming slaves active. This logic has been broken all along, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/21344.1498494720@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Ignore old stats file timestamps when starting the stats collector.Tom Lane2017-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The stats collector disregards inquiry messages that bear a cutoff_time before when it last wrote the relevant stats file. That's fine, but at startup when it reads the "permanent" stats files, it absorbed their timestamps as if they were the times at which the corresponding temporary stats files had been written. In reality, of course, there's no data out there at all. This led to disregarding inquiry messages soon after startup if the postmaster had been shut down and restarted within less than PGSTAT_STAT_INTERVAL; which is a pretty common scenario, both for testing and in the field. Requesting backends would hang for 10 seconds and then report failure to read statistics, unless they got bailed out by some other backend coming along and making a newer request within that interval. I came across this through investigating unexpected delays in the src/test/recovery TAP tests: it manifests there because the autovacuum launcher hangs for 10 seconds when it can't get statistics at startup, thus preventing a second shutdown from occurring promptly. We might want to do some things in the autovac code to make it less prone to getting stuck that way, but this change is a good bug fix regardless. In passing, also fix pgstat_read_statsfiles() to ensure that it re-zeroes its global stats variables if they are corrupted by a short read from the stats file. (Other reads in that function go into temp variables, so that the issue doesn't arise.) This has been broken since we created the separation between permanent and temporary stats files in 8.4, so back-patch to all supported branches.

Also, reset errno before strtol() call, to defend against the possibility that it was already ERANGE at entry. (The lack of complaints says that it generally isn't, but this is at least a latent bug.) Very minor stylistic improvements as well. Victor Drobny noted the obsolete comment, I noted the errno issue.

* Fix possibility of creating a "phantom" segment after promotion.Andres Freund2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When promoting a standby just after a XLOG_SWITCH record was replayed, and next segment(s) are already are locally available (via walsender, restore_command + trigger/recovery target), that segment could accidentally be recycled onto the past of the new timeline. Later checkpointer would create a .ready file for it, assuming there was an error during creation, and it would get archived. That causes trouble if another standby is later brought up from a basebackup from before the timeline creation, because it would try to read the segment, because XLogFileReadAnyTLI just tries all possible timelines, which doesn't have valid contents. Thus replay would fail. The problem, if already occurred, can be fixed by removing the segment and/or having restore_command filter it out. The reason for the creation of such "phantom" segments was, that after an XLOG_SWITCH record the EndOfLog variable points to the beginning of the next segment, and RemoveXlogFile() used XLByteToPrevSeg(). Normally RemoveXlogFile() doing so is harmless, because the last segment will still exist preventing InstallXLogFileSegment() from causing harm, but just after promotion there's no previous segment on the new timeline. Fix that by using XLByteToSeg() instead of XLByteToPrevSeg().

* pg_upgrade: start/stop new server after pg_resetwalBruce Momjian2017-06-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When commit 0f33a719fdbb5d8c43839ea0d2c90cd03e2af2d2 removed the instructions to start/stop the new cluster before running rsync, it was now possible for pg_resetwal/pg_resetxlog to leave the final WAL record at wal_level=minimum, preventing upgraded standby servers from reconnecting. This patch fixes that by having pg_upgrade unconditionally start/stop the new cluster after pg_resetwal/pg_resetxlog has run.

* Avoid regressions in foreign-key-based selectivity estimates.Tom Lane2017-06-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | David Rowley found that the "use the smallest per-column selectivity" heuristic applied in some cases by get_foreign_key_join_selectivity() was badly off if the FK columns are independent, producing estimates much worse than we got before that code was added in 9.6. One case where that heuristic was used was for LEFT and FULL outer joins with the referenced rel on the outside of the join. But we should not really need to special-case those here. eqjoinsel() never has had such a special case; the correction is applied by calc_joinrel_size_estimate() instead. Let's just estimate such cases like inner joins and rely on that later adjustment. (I think there was something of a thinko here, in that the comments seem to be thinking about the selectivity as defined for semi/anti joins; but that shouldn't apply to left/full joins.) Add a regression test exercising such a case to show that this is sane in at least some cases. The other case where we used that heuristic was for SEMI/ANTI outer joins, either if the referenced rel was on the outside, or if it was on the inside but was part of a join within the RHS. In either case, the FK doesn't give us a lot of traction towards estimating the selectivity. To ensure that we don't have regressions from what happened before 9.6, let's punt by ignoring the FK in such cases and applying the traditional selectivity calculation. (We might be able to improve on that later, but for now I just want to be sure it's not worse than 9.5.) Report and patch by David Rowley, simplified a bit by me.

* Fix low-probability leaks of PGresult objects in the backend.Tom Lane2017-06-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We had three occurrences of essentially the same coding pattern wherein we tried to retrieve a query result from a libpq connection without blocking. In the case where PQconsumeInput failed (typically indicating a lost connection), all three loops simply gave up and returned, forgetting to clear any previously-collected PGresult object. Since those are malloc'd not palloc'd, the oversight results in a process-lifespan memory leak. One instance, in libpqwalreceiver, is of little significance because the walreceiver process would just quit anyway if its connection fails. But we might as well fix it. The other two instances, in postgres_fdw, are somewhat more worrisome because at least in principle the scenario could be repeated, allowing the amount of memory leaked to build up to something worth worrying about. Moreover, in these cases the loops contain CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS calls, as well as other calls that could potentially elog(ERROR), providing another way to exit without having cleared the PGresult. Here we need to add PG_TRY logic similar to what exists in quite a few other places in postgres_fdw. Coverity noted the libpqwalreceiver bug; I found the other two cases by checking all calls of PQconsumeInput. Back-patch to all supported versions as appropriate (9.2 lacks postgres_fdw, so this is really quite unexciting for that branch). Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/22620.1497486981@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Assert that we don't invent relfilenodes or type OIDs in binary upgrade.Tom Lane2017-06-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During pg_upgrade's restore run, all relfilenode choices should be overridden by commands in the dump script. If we ever find ourselves choosing a relfilenode in the ordinary way, someone blew it. Likewise for pg_type OIDs. Since pg_upgrade might well succeed anyway, if there happens not to be a conflict during the regression test run, we need assertions here to keep us on the straight and narrow. We might someday be able to remove the assertion in GetNewRelFileNode, if pg_upgrade is rewritten to remove its assumption that old and new relfilenodes always match. But it's hard to see how to get rid of the pg_type OID constraint, since those OIDs are embedded in user tables in some cases. Back-patch as far as 9.5, because of the risk of back-patches breaking something here even if it works in HEAD. I'd prefer to go back further, but 9.4 fails both assertions due to get_rel_infos()'s use of a temporary table. We can't use the later-branch solution of a CTE for compatibility reasons (cf commit 5d16332e9), and it doesn't seem worth inventing some other way to do the query. (I did check, by dint of changing the Asserts to elog(WARNING), that there are no other cases of unwanted OID assignments during 9.4's regression test run.)

* Clear auth context correctly when re-connecting after failed auth attempt.Heikki Linnakangas2017-06-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If authentication over an SSL connection fails, with sslmode=prefer, libpq will reconnect without SSL and retry. However, we did not clear the variables related to GSS, SSPI, and SASL authentication state, when reconnecting. Because of that, the second authentication attempt would always fail with a "duplicate GSS/SASL authentication request" error. pg_SSPI_startup did not check for duplicate authentication requests like the corresponding GSS and SASL functions, so with SSPI, you would leak some memory instead. Another way this could manifest itself, on version 10, is if you list multiple hostnames in the "host" parameter. If the first server requests Kerberos or SCRAM authentication, but it fails, the attempts to connect to the other servers will also fail with "duplicate authentication request" errors. To fix, move the clearing of authentication state from closePGconn to pgDropConnection, so that it is cleared also when re-connecting. Patch by Michael Paquier, with some kibitzing by me. Backpatch down to 9.3. 9.2 has the same bug, but the code around closing the connection is somewhat different, so that this patch doesn't apply. To fix this in 9.2, I think we would need to back-port commit 210eb9b743 first, and then apply this patch. However, given that we only bumped into this in our own testing, we haven't heard any reports from users about this, and that 9.2 will be end-of-lifed in a couple of months anyway, it doesn't seem worth the risk and trouble.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because walsender and normal backends share the same main loop it's problematic to have two different flag variables, set in signal handlers, indicating a pending configuration reload. Only certain walsender commands reach code paths checking for the variable (START_[LOGICAL_]REPLICATION, CREATE_REPLICATION_SLOT ... LOGICAL, notably not base backups). This is a bug present since the introduction of walsender, but has gotten worse in releases since then which allow walsender to do more. A later patch, not slated for v10, will similarly unify SIGHUP handling in other types of processes as well.

* 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.

* Have walsenders participate in procsignal infrastructure.Andres Freund2017-06-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The non-participation in procsignal was a problem for both changes in master, e.g. parallelism not working for normal statements run in walsender backends, and older branches, e.g. recovery conflicts and catchup interrupts not working for logical decoding walsenders. This commit thus replaces the previous WalSndXLogSendHandler with procsignal_sigusr1_handler. In branches since db0f6cad48 that can lead to additional SetLatch calls, but that only rarely seems to make a difference.

* Fix record length computation in pg_waldump/xlogdump.Andres Freund2017-06-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current method of computing the record length (excluding the lenght of full-page images) has been wrong since the WAL format has been revamped in 2c03216d831160bedd72d45f712601b6f7d03f1c. Only the main record's length was counted, but that can be significantly too little if there's data associated with further blocks. Fix by computing the record length as total_lenght - fpi_length.

* Allow parallelism in COPY (query) TO ...;Andres Freund2017-06-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously this was not allowed, as copy.c didn't set the CURSOR_OPT_PARALLEL_OK flag when planning the query. Set it. While the lack of parallel query for COPY isn't strictly speaking a bug, it does prevent parallelism from being used in a facility commonly used to run long running queries. Thus backpatch to 9.6.

* Always use -fPIC, not -fpic, when building shared libraries with gcc.Tom Lane2017-06-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On some platforms, -fpic fails for sufficiently large shared libraries. We've mostly not hit that boundary yet, but there are some extensions such as Citus and pglogical where it's becoming a problem. A bit of research suggests that the penalty for -fPIC is small, in the single-digit-percentage range --- and there's none at all on popular platforms such as x86_64. So let's just default to -fPIC everywhere and provide one less thing for extension developers to worry about. Per complaint from Christoph Berg. Back-patch to all supported branches. (I did not bother to touch the recently-removed Makefiles for sco and unixware in the back branches, though. We'd have no way to test that it doesn't break anything on those platforms.)

* Prevent running pg_resetwal/pg_resetxlog against wrong-version data dirs.Tom Lane2017-05-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pg_resetwal (formerly pg_resetxlog) doesn't insist on finding a matching version number in pg_control, and that seems like an important thing to preserve since recovering from corrupt pg_control is a prime reason to need to run it. However, that means you can try to run it against a data directory of a different major version, which is at best useless and at worst disastrous. So as to provide some protection against that type of pilot error, inspect PG_VERSION at startup and refuse to do anything if it doesn't match. PG_VERSION is read-only after initdb, so it's unlikely to get corrupted, and even if it were corrupted it would be easy to fix by hand. This hazard has been there all along, so back-patch to all supported branches.

* Allow NumericOnly to be "+ FCONST".Tom Lane2017-05-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The NumericOnly grammar production accepted ICONST, + ICONST, - ICONST, FCONST, and - FCONST, but for some reason not + FCONST. This led to strange inconsistencies like regression=# set random_page_cost = +4; SET regression=# set random_page_cost = 4000000000; SET regression=# set random_page_cost = +4000000000; ERROR: syntax error at or near "4000000000" (because 4000000000 is too large to be an ICONST). While there's no actual functional reason to need to write a "+", if we allow it for integers it seems like we should allow it for numerics too. It's been like that forever, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/30908.1496006184@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Fix pg_dump to not emit invalid SQL for an empty operator class.Tom Lane2017-05-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If an operator class has no operators or functions, and doesn't need a STORAGE clause, we emitted "CREATE OPERATOR CLASS ... AS ;" which is syntactically invalid. Fix by forcing a STORAGE clause to be emitted anyway in this case. (At some point we might consider changing the grammar to allow CREATE OPERATOR CLASS without an opclass_item_list. But probably we'd want to omit the AS in that case, so that wouldn't fix this pg_dump issue anyway.) It's been like this all along, so back-patch to all supported branches.

* Tighten checks for whitespace in functions that parse identifiers etc.Tom Lane2017-05-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch replaces isspace() calls with scanner_isspace() in functions that are likely to be presented with non-ASCII input. isspace() has the small advantage that it will correctly recognize no-break space in single-byte encodings (such as LATIN1); but it cannot work successfully for any multibyte character, and depending on platform it might return false positive results for some fragments of multibyte characters. That's disastrous for functions that are trying to discard whitespace between valid strings, as noted in bug #14662 from Justin Muise. Even treating no-break space as whitespace is pretty questionable for the usages touched here, because the core scanner would think it is an identifier character. Affected functions are parse_ident(), parseNameAndArgTypes (underlying regprocedurein() and siblings), SplitIdentifierString (used for parsing GUCs and options that are qualified names or lists of names), and SplitDirectoriesString (used for parsing GUCs that are lists of directories). All the functions adjusted here are parsing SQL identifiers and similar constructs, so it's reasonable to insist that their definition of whitespace match the core scanner. So we can hope that this won't cause many backwards-compatibility problems. I've left alone isspace() calls in places that aren't really expecting any non-ASCII input characters, such as float8in(). Back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/10129.1495302480@sss.pgh.pa.us
