Most of the replay functions for WAL record types that modify more than
one page failed to ensure that those pages were locked correctly to ensure
that concurrent queries could not see inconsistent page states. This is
a hangover from coding decisions made long before Hot Standby was added,
when it was hardly necessary to acquire buffer locks during WAL replay
at all, let alone hold them for carefully-chosen periods.
The key problem was that RestoreBkpBlocks was written to hold lock on each
page restored from a full-page image for only as long as it took to update
that page. This was guaranteed to break any WAL replay function in which
there was any update-ordering constraint between pages, because even if the
nominal order of the pages is the right one, any mixture of full-page and
non-full-page updates in the same record would result in out-of-order
updates. Moreover, it wouldn't work for situations where there's a
requirement to maintain lock on one page while updating another. Failure
to honor an update ordering constraint in this way is thought to be the
cause of bug #7648 from Daniel Farina: what seems to have happened there
is that a btree page being split was rewritten from a full-page image
before the new right sibling page was written, and because lock on the
original page was not maintained it was possible for hot standby queries to
try to traverse the page's right-link to the not-yet-existing sibling page.
To fix, get rid of RestoreBkpBlocks as such, and instead create a new
function RestoreBackupBlock that restores just one full-page image at a
time. This function can be invoked by WAL replay functions at the points
where they would otherwise perform non-full-page updates; in this way, the
physical order of page updates remains the same no matter which pages are
replaced by full-page images. We can then further adjust the logic in
individual replay functions if it is necessary to hold buffer locks
for overlapping periods. A side benefit is that we can simplify the
handling of concurrency conflict resolution by moving that code into the
record-type-specfic functions; there's no more need to contort the code
layout to keep conflict resolution in front of the RestoreBkpBlocks call.
In connection with that, standardize on zero-based numbering rather than
one-based numbering for referencing the full-page images. In HEAD, I
removed the macros XLR_BKP_BLOCK_1 through XLR_BKP_BLOCK_4. They are
still there in the header files in previous branches, but are no longer
used by the code.
In addition, fix some other bugs identified in the course of making these
changes:
spgRedoAddNode could fail to update the parent downlink at all, if the
parent tuple is in the same page as either the old or new split tuple and
we're not doing a full-page image: it would get fooled by the LSN having
been advanced already. This would result in permanent index corruption,
not just transient failure of concurrent queries.
Also, ginHeapTupleFastInsert's "merge lists" case failed to mark the old
tail page as a candidate for a full-page image; in the worst case this
could result in torn-page corruption.
heap_xlog_freeze() was inconsistent about using a cleanup lock or plain
exclusive lock: it did the former in the normal path but the latter for a
full-page image. A plain exclusive lock seems sufficient, so change to
that.
Also, remove gistRedoPageDeleteRecord(), which has been dead code since
VACUUM FULL was rewritten.
Back-patch to 9.0, where hot standby was introduced. Note however that 9.0
had a significantly different WAL-logging scheme for GIST index updates,
and it doesn't appear possible to make that scheme safe for concurrent hot
standby queries, because it can leave inconsistent states in the index even
between WAL records. Given the lack of complaints from the field, we won't
work too hard on fixing that branch.

This back-ports commits c8ba697a4bdb934f0c51424c654e8db6133ea255 and
e5db11c5582b469c04a11f217a0f32c827da5dd7, which fix one definite and one
speculative bug in gistchoose, and make the code a lot more intelligible as
well. In 9.2 only, this also affects the largely-copied-and-pasted logic
in gistRelocateBuildBuffersOnSplit.
The impact of the bugs was that the functions might make poor decisions
as to which index tree branch to push a new entry down into, resulting in
GiST index bloat and poor performance. The fixes rectify these decisions
for future insertions, but a REINDEX would be needed to clean up any
existing index bloat.

We use a hash table to track the parents of inner pages, but when inserting
to a leaf page, the caller of gistbufferinginserttuples() must pass a
correct block number of the leaf's parent page. Before gistProcessItup()
descends to a child page, it checks if the downlink needs to be adjusted to
accommodate the new tuple, and updates the downlink if necessary. However,
updating the downlink might require splitting the page, which might move the
downlink to a page to the right. gistProcessItup() doesn't realize that, so
when it descends to the leaf page, it might pass an out-of-date parent block
number as a result. Fix that by returning the block a tuple was inserted to
from gistbufferinginserttuples().
This fixes the bug reported by Zdeněk Jílovec.

We used to mimic the way a stack is constructed when descending the tree
during normal GiST inserts, but that was quite complicated during a buffered
build. It was also wrong: in GiST, the left-to-right relationships on
different levels might not match each other, so that when you know the
parent of a child page, you won't necessarily find the parent of the page to
the right of the child page by following the rightlinks at the parent level.
This sometimes led to "could not re-find parent" errors while building a
GiST index.
We now use a simple hash table to track the parent of every internal page.
Whenever a page is split, and downlinks are moved from one page to another,
we update the hash table accordingly. This is also better for performance
than the old method, as we never need to move right to re-find the parent
page, which could take a significant amount of time for buffers that were
created much earlier in the index build.

There were two bugs here: We forgot to call gistFreeBuildBuffers() function
at the end of build, and we passed interXact == true to BufFileCreateTemp,
so the file wasn't automatically cleaned up at end-of-transaction either.

The result of (maintenance_work_mem * 1024) / BLCKSZ doesn't fit in a signed
32-bit integer, if maintenance_work_mem >= 2GB. Use double instead. And
while we're at it, write the calculations in an easier to understand form,
with the intermediary steps written out and commented.

When we create a temporary copy of the old node buffer, in stack, we mustn't
leak that into any of the long-lived data structures. Before this patch,
when we called gistPopItupFromNodeBuffer(), it got added to the array of
"loaded buffers". After gistRelocateBuildBuffersOnSplit() exits, the
pointer added to the loaded buffers array points to garbage. Often that goes
unnotied, because when we go through the array of loaded buffers to unload
them, buffers with a NULL pageBuffer are ignored, which can often happen by
accident even if the pointer points to garbage.
This patch fixes that by marking the temporary copy in stack explicitly as
temporary, and refrain from adding buffers marked as temporary to the array
of loaded buffers.
While we're at it, initialize nodeBuffer->pageBlocknum to InvalidBlockNumber
and improve comments a bit. This isn't strictly necessary, but makes
debugging easier.

When inserting the downlinks for a split gist page, we used hold the locks
on the child pages until the insertion into the parent - and recursively its
parent if it had to be split too - were all completed. Change that so that
the locks on child pages are released after the insertion in the immediate
parent is done, before recursing further up the tree.
This reduces the number of lwlocks that are held simultaneously. Holding
many locks is bad for concurrency, and in extreme cases you can even hit
the limit of 100 simultaneously held lwlocks in a backend. If you're really
unlucky, you can hit the limit while in a critical section, which brings
down the whole system.
This fixes bug #6629 reported by Tom Forbes. Backpatch to 9.1. The page
splitting code was rewritten in 9.1, and the old code did not have this
problem.

Previously it was thought that it's impossible as the code stands, because
insertions create buffers as tuples are cascaded downwards, and index
split also creaters buffers eagerly for all halves. But the example from
Jay Levitt demonstrates that it can happen, when the root page is split.
It's in fact OK if the buffer doesn't exist, so we just need to remove the
sanity check. In fact, we've been discussing the possibility of destroying
empty buffers to conserve memory, which would render the sanity check
completely useless anyway.

Throwing an error only after we've built the main index fork is pretty
unfriendly when the table already contains data. Per gripe from Jay

Use of a randomly chosen large value was never exactly graceful, and
now that there are penalty functions that are intentionally using infinity,
it doesn't seem like a good idea for null-vs-not-null to be using something
less.

The original idea of this patch was to make box picksplit run faster, by
eliminating unnecessary palloc() overhead, but that was obsoleted by the new
double-sorting split algorithm that doesn't call these functions so heavily
anymore. Nevertheless, the code looks better this way.
Original patch by me, reviewed and tidied up after the double-sorting patch
by Kevin Grittner.

pg_trgm was already doing this unofficially, but the implementation hadn't
been thought through very well and leaked memory. Restructure the core
GiST code so that it actually works, and document it. Ordinarily this
would have required an extra memory context creation/destruction for each
GiST index search, but I was able to avoid that in the normal case of a
non-rescanned search by finessing the handling of the RBTree. It used to
have its own context always, but now shares a context with the
scan-lifespan data structures, unless there is more than one rescan call.
This should make the added overhead unnoticeable in typical cases.

This oversight led to a massive memory leak --- upwards of 10KB per tuple
--- during creation-time verification of an exclusion constraint based on a
GIST index. In most other scenarios it'd just be a leak of 10KB that would
be recovered at end of query, so not too significant; though perhaps the
leak would be noticeable in a situation where a GIST index was being used
in a nestloop inner indexscan. In any case, it's a real leak of long
standing, so patch all supported branches. Per report from Harald Fuchs.

queuedForEmptying flag correctly on buffer when adding it to the queue.
Also, don't add buffer to the queue if it's there already. These were
harmless oversights; failing to set the flag just means that a buffer might
get added to the queue twice if more tuples are added to it (although that
can't actually happen at this point because all the upper buffers have
already been emptied), and having the same buffer twice in the emptying
queue is harmless. But better be tidy.

When building a GiST index that doesn't fit in cache, buffers are attached
to some internal nodes in the index. This speeds up the build by avoiding
random I/O that would otherwise be needed to traverse all the way down the
tree to the find right leaf page for tuple.

GISTInsertStack.childoffnum used to mean "offset of the downlink in this
node, pointing to the child node in the stack". It's now replaced with
downlinkoffnum, which means "offset of the downlink in the parent of this
node". gistFindPath() already used childoffnum with this new meaning, and
had an extra step at the end to pull all the childoffnum values down one
node in the stack, to adjust the stack for the meaning that childoffnum had
elsewhere. That's no longer required.
The reason to do this now is this new representation is more convenient for
the GiST fast build patch that Alexander Korotkov is working on.
While we're at it, replace the linked list used in gistFindPath with a
standard List, and make gistFindPath() static.

First, when following a right-link, we incorrectly marked the current page
as the parent of the right sibling. In reality, the parent of the right page
is the same as the parent of the current page (or some page to the right of
it, gistFindCorrectParent() will sort that out).
Secondly, when we follow a right-link, we must prepend, not append, the right
page to our list of pages to visit. That's because we assume that once we
hit a leaf page in the list, all the rest are leaf pages too, and give up.
To hit these bugs, you need concurrent actions and several unlucky accidents.
Another backend must split the root page, while you're in process of
splitting a lower-level page. Furthermore, while you scan the internal nodes
to re-find the parent, another backend needs to again split some more internal
pages. Even then, the bugs don't necessarily manifest as user-visible errors
or index corruption.
While we're at it, make the error reporting a bit better if gistFindPath()
fails to re-find the parent. It used to be an assertion, but an elog() seems
more appropriate.
Backpatch to all supported branches.

Apparently sane-looking penalty code might return small negative values,
for example because of roundoff error. This will confuse places like
gistchoose(). Prevent problems by clamping negative penalty values to
zero. (Just to be really sure, I also made it force NaNs to zero.)

Experimentation with contrib/btree_gist shows that the majority of the GIST
support functions potentially need collation information. Safest policy
seems to be to pass it to all of them, instead of making assumptions about
which ones could possibly need it.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Since collation is effectively an argument, not a property of the function,
FmgrInfo is really the wrong place for it; and this becomes critical in
cases where a cached FmgrInfo is used for varying purposes that might need
different collation settings. Fix by passing it in FunctionCallInfoData
instead. In particular this allows a clean fix for bug #5970 (record_cmp
not working). This requires touching a bit more code than the original
method, but nobody ever thought that collations would not be an invasive
patch...

The contents of an unlogged table are WAL-logged; thus, they are not
available on standby servers and are truncated whenever the database
system enters recovery. Indexes on unlogged tables are also unlogged.
Unlogged GiST indexes are not currently supported.

cleanup stage to finish incomplete inserts or splits anymore. There was two
reasons for the cleanup step:
1. When a new tuple was inserted to a leaf page, the downlink in the parent
needed to be updated to contain (ie. to be consistent with) the new key.
Updating the parent in turn might require recursively updating the parent of
the parent. We now handle that by updating the parent while traversing down
the tree, so that when we insert the leaf tuple, all the parents are already
consistent with the new key, and the tree is consistent at every step.
2. When a page is split, we need to insert the downlink for the new right
page(s), and update the downlink for the original page to not include keys
that moved to the right page(s). We now handle that by setting a new flag,
F_FOLLOW_RIGHT, on the non-rightmost pages in the split. When that flag is
set, scans always follow the rightlink, regardless of the NSN mechanism used
to detect concurrent page splits. That way the tree is consistent right after
split, even though the downlink is still missing. This is very similar to the
way B-tree splits are handled. When the downlink is inserted in the parent,
the flag is cleared. To keep the insertion algorithm simple, when an
insertion sees an incomplete split, indicated by the F_FOLLOW_RIGHT flag, it
finishes the split before doing anything else.
These changes allow removing the whole "invalid tuple" mechanism, but I
retained the scan code to still follow invalid tuples correctly. While we
don't create any such tuples anymore, we want to handle them gracefully in
case you pg_upgrade a GiST index that has them. If we encounter any on an
insert, though, we just throw an error saying that you need to REINDEX.
The issue that got me into doing this is that if you did a checkpoint while
an insert or split was in progress, and the checkpoint finishes quickly so
that there is no WAL record related to the insert between RedoRecPtr and the
checkpoint record, recovery from that checkpoint would not know to finish
the incomplete insert. IOW, we have the same issue we solved with the
rm_safe_restartpoint mechanism during normal operation too. It's highly
unlikely to happen in practice, and this fix is far too large to backpatch,
so we're just going to live with in previous versions, but this refactoring
fixes it going forward.
With this patch, you don't get the annoying
'index "FOO" needs VACUUM or REINDEX to finish crash recovery' notices
anymore if you crash at an unfortunate moment.

This commit replaces pg_class.relistemp with pg_class.relpersistence;
and also modifies the RangeVar node type to carry relpersistence rather
than istemp. It also removes removes rd_istemp from RelationData and
instead performs the correct computation based on relpersistence.
For clarity, we add three new macros: RelationNeedsWAL(),
RelationUsesLocalBuffers(), and RelationUsesTempNamespace(), so that we
can clarify the purpose of each check that previous depended on
rd_istemp.
This is intended as infrastructure for the upcoming unlogged tables
patch, as well as for future possible work on global temporary tables.

1. Complain, rather than silently doing nothing, if an "invalid" tuple
is found on a leaf page. Per off-list discussion with Heikki.
2. Fix oversight in code that removes a GISTSearchItem from the search
queue: we have to reset lastHeap if this was the last heap item in the
parent GISTSearchTreeItem. Otherwise subsequent additions will do the
wrong thing. This was probably masked in early testing because in typical
cases the parent item would now be completely empty and would be deleted on
next call. You'd need a queued non-leaf page at exactly the same distance
as a heap tuple to expose the bug.

This commit represents a rather heavily editorialized version of
Teodor's builtin_knngist_itself-0.8.2 and builtin_knngist_proc-0.8.1
patches. I redid the opclass API to add a separate Distance method
instead of turning the Consistent method into an illogical mess,
fixed some bit-rot in the rbtree interfaces, and generally worked over
the code style and comments.
There's still no non-code documentation to speak of, but I'll work on
that separately. Some contrib-module changes are also yet to come
(right now, point <-> point is the only KNN-ified operator).

This is a heavily revised version of builtin_knngist_core-0.9. The
ordering operators are no longer mixed in with actual quals, which would
have confused not only humans but significant parts of the planner.
Instead, ordering operators are carried separately throughout planning and
execution.
Since the API for ambeginscan and amrescan functions had to be changed
anyway, this commit takes the opportunity to rationalize that a bit.
RelationGetIndexScan no longer forces a premature index_rescan call;
instead, callers of index_beginscan must call index_rescan too. Aside from
making the AM-side initialization logic a bit less peculiar, this has the
advantage that we do not make a useless extra am_rescan call when there are
runtime key values. AMs formerly could not assume that the key values
passed to amrescan were actually valid; now they can.

temporary indexes are not WAL-logged. We used a constant LSN for temporary
indexes, on the assumption that we don't need to worry about concurrent page
splits in temporary indexes because they're only visible to the current
session. But that assumption is wrong, it's possible to insert rows and
split pages in the same session, while a scan is in progress. For example,
by opening a cursor and fetching some rows, and INSERTing new rows before
fetching some more.
Fix by generating fake increasing LSNs, used in place of real LSNs in
temporary GiST indexes.
