* Rename snapmgmt.c/h to snapmgr.c/h, for consistency with other files.Alvaro Herrera2008-03-26
| | | | Per complaint from Tom Lane.
* Separate snapshot management code from tuple visibility code, create aAlvaro Herrera2008-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | snapmgmt.c file for the former. The header files have also been reorganized in three parts: the most basic snapshot definitions are now in a new file snapshot.h, and the also new snapmgmt.h keeps the definitions for snapmgmt.c. tqual.h has been reduced to the bare minimum. This patch is just a first step towards managing live snapshots within a transaction; there is no functionality change. Per my proposal to pgsql-patches on 20080318191940.GB27458@alvh.no-ip.org and subsequent discussion.
* Make TransactionIdIsInProgress check transam.c's single-item XID status cacheTom Lane2008-03-11
| | | | | | | | before it goes groveling through the ProcArray. In situations where the same recently-committed transaction ID is checked repeatedly by tqual.c, this saves a lot of shared-memory searches. And it's cheap enough that it shouldn't hurt noticeably when it doesn't help. Concept and patch by Simon, some minor tweaking and comment-cleanup by Tom.

* Replace the former method of determining snapshot xmax --- to wit, callingTom Lane2007-09-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ReadNewTransactionId from GetSnapshotData --- with a "latestCompletedXid" variable that is updated during transaction commit or abort. Since latestCompletedXid is written only in places that had to lock ProcArrayLock exclusively anyway, and is read only in places that had to lock ProcArrayLock shared anyway, it adds no new locking requirements to the system despite being cluster-wide. Moreover, removing ReadNewTransactionId from snapshot acquisition eliminates the need to take both XidGenLock and ProcArrayLock at the same time. Since XidGenLock is sometimes held across I/O this can be a significant win. Some preliminary benchmarking suggested that this patch has no effect on average throughput but can significantly improve the worst-case transaction times seen in pgbench. Concept by Florian Pflug, implementation by Tom Lane.
* Support an optional asynchronous commit mode, in which we don't flush WALTom Lane2007-08-01

| | | | | | | | the AMI_OVERRIDE flag. The fact that TransactionLogFetch treats BootstrapTransactionId as always committed is sufficient to make bootstrap work, and getting rid of extra tests in heavily used code paths seems like a win. The files produced by initdb are demonstrably the same after this change.

Along the way, eliminate SubTransXidsHaveCommonAncestor, which isn't really needed and could not give a trustworthy result anyway under the lookback restriction. In an unrelated but nearby change, #ifdef out GetUndoRecPtr, which has been dead code since 2001 and seems unlikely to ever be resurrected.

| | | | | | | | | | | buffer manager with 'pg_clog', a specialized access method modeled on pg_xlog. This simplifies startup (don't need to play games to open pg_log; among other things, OverrideTransactionSystem goes away), should improve performance a little, and opens the door to recycling commit log space by removing no-longer-needed segments of the commit log. Actual recycling is not there yet, but I felt I should commit this part separately since it'd still be useful if we chose not to do transaction ID wraparound.

* XLOG (and related) changes:Tom Lane2001-03-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Store two past checkpoint locations, not just one, in pg_control. On startup, we fall back to the older checkpoint if the newer one is unreadable. Also, a physical copy of the newest checkpoint record is kept in pg_control for possible use in disaster recovery (ie, complete loss of pg_xlog). Also add a version number for pg_control itself. Remove archdir from pg_control; it ought to be a GUC parameter, not a special case (not that it's implemented yet anyway). * Suppress successive checkpoint records when nothing has been entered in the WAL log since the last one. This is not so much to avoid I/O as to make it actually useful to keep track of the last two checkpoints. If the things are right next to each other then there's not a lot of redundancy gained... * Change CRC scheme to a true 64-bit CRC, not a pair of 32-bit CRCs on alternate bytes. Polynomial borrowed from ECMA DLT1 standard. * Fix XLOG record length handling so that it will work at BLCKSZ = 32k. * Change XID allocation to work more like OID allocation. (This is of dubious necessity, but I think it's a good idea anyway.) * Fix a number of minor bugs, such as off-by-one logic for XLOG file wraparound at the 4 gig mark. * Add documentation and clean up some coding infelicities; move file format declarations out to include files where planned contrib utilities can get at them. * Checkpoint will now occur every CHECKPOINT_SEGMENTS log segments or every CHECKPOINT_TIMEOUT seconds, whichever comes first. It is also possible to force a checkpoint by sending SIGUSR1 to the postmaster (undocumented feature...) * Defend against kill -9 postmaster by storing shmem block's key and ID in postmaster.pid lockfile, and checking at startup to ensure that no processes are still connected to old shmem block (if it still exists). * Switch backends to accept SIGQUIT rather than SIGUSR1 for emergency stop, for symmetry with postmaster and xlog utilities. Clean up signal handling in bootstrap.c so that xlog utilities launched by postmaster will react to signals better. * Standalone bootstrap now grabs lockfile in target directory, as added insurance against running it in parallel with live postmaster.

* Modify heap_open()/heap_openr() API per pghackers discussion of 11 July.Tom Lane2000-08-03
| | | | | | | | | These two routines will now ALWAYS elog() on failure, whether you ask for a lock or not. If you really want to get a NULL return on failure, call the new routines heap_open_nofail()/heap_openr_nofail(). By my count there are only about three places that actually want that behavior. There were rather more than three places that were missing the check they needed to make under the old convention :-(.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | additional argument specifying the kind of lock to acquire/release (or 'NoLock' to do no lock processing). Ensure that all relations are locked with some appropriate lock level before being examined --- this ensures that relevant shared-inval messages have been processed and should prevent problems caused by concurrent VACUUM. Fix several bugs having to do with mismatched increment/decrement of relation ref count and mismatched heap_open/close (which amounts to the same thing). A bogus ref count on a relation doesn't matter much *unless* a SI Inval message happens to arrive at the wrong time, which is probably why we got away with this sloppiness for so long. Repair missing grab of AccessExclusiveLock in DROP TABLE, ALTER/RENAME TABLE, etc, as noted by Hiroshi. Recommend 'make clean all' after pulling this update; I modified the Relation struct layout slightly. Will post further discussion to pghackers list shortly.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | and possibly for other cases too: DO NOT cache status of transaction in unknown state (i.e. non-committed and non-aborted ones) Example: T1 reads row updated/inserted by running T2 and cache T2 status. T2 commits. Now T1 reads a row updated by T2 and with HEAP_XMAX_COMMITTED in t_infomask (so cached T2 status is not changed). Now T1 EvalPlanQual gets updated row version without HEAP_XMIN_COMMITTED -> TransactionIdDidCommit(t_xmin) and TransactionIdDidAbort(t_xmin) return FALSE and T2 decides that t_xmin is not committed and gets ERROR above. It's too late to find more smart way to handle such cases and so I just changed xact status caching and got rid TransactionIdFlushCache() from code. Changed: transam.c, xact.c, lmgr.c and transam.h - last three just because of TransactionIdFlushCache() is removed. 2. heapam.c: T1 marked a row for update. T2 waits for T1 commit/abort. T1 commits. T3 updates the row before T2 locks row page. Now T2 sees that new row t_xmax is different from xact id (T1) T2 was waiting for. Old code did Assert here. New one goes to HeapTupleSatisfiesUpdate. Obvious changes too. 3. Added Assert to vacuum.c 4. bufmgr.c: break Assert(buf->r_locks == 0 && !buf->ri_lock) into two Asserts.
