* Fix race condition leading to hanging logical slot creation.Andres Freund2017-05-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The snapshot assembly during the creation of logical slots relied waiting for transactions in xl_running_xacts to end, by checking for their commit/abort records. Unfortunately, despite locking, it is possible to see an xl_running_xact record listing transactions as ready, that have already WAL-logged an commit/abort record, as the locking just prevents the ProcArray to be adjusted, and the commit record has to be logged first. That lead to either delayed or hanging snapshot creation, because snapbuild.c would wait "forever" to see commit/abort records for some transactions. That hang resolved only if a xl_running_xacts record without any running transactions happened to be logged, far from certain on a busy server. It's impractical to prevent that via more heavyweight locking, the likelihood of deadlocks and significantly increased contention would be too big. Instead change the initial snapshot creation to be solely based on tracking the oldest running transaction via xl_running_xacts->oldestRunningXid - that actually ends up significantly simplifying the code. That has two disadvantages: 1) Because we cannot fully "trust" the contents of xl_running_xacts, we cannot use it to build the initial snapshot. Instead we have to wait twice for all running transactions to finish. 2) Previously a slot, unless the race occurred, could be created when the all transaction perceived as running based on commit/abort records, now we have to wait for the next xl_running_xacts record. To address that, trigger logging new xl_running_xacts record from within snapbuild.c exactly when necessary. Unfortunately snabuild.c's SnapBuild is stored on disk, one of the stupider ideas of a certain Mr Freund, so we can't change it in a minor release. As this is going to be backpatched, we have to hack around a bit to keep on-disk compatibility. A later commit will rejigger that on master.

* Remove direct uses of ItemPointer.{ip_blkid,ip_posid}Alvaro Herrera2017-03-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are no functional changes here; this simply encapsulates knowledge of the ItemPointerData struct so that a future patch can change things without more breakage. All direct users of ip_blkid and ip_posid are changed to use existing macros ItemPointerGetBlockNumber and ItemPointerGetOffsetNumber respectively. For callers where that's inappropriate (because they Assert that the itempointer is is valid-looking), add ItemPointerGetBlockNumberNoCheck and ItemPointerGetOffsetNumberNoCheck, which lack the assertion but are otherwise identical.

* Use the new "Slab" context for some allocations in reorderbuffer.h.Andres Freund2017-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Note that this change alone does not yet fully address the performance problems triggering this work, a large portion of the slowdown is triggered by the tuple allocator, which isn't converted to the new allocator. It would be possible to do so, but using evenly sized objects, like both the current implementation in reorderbuffer.c and slab.c, wastes a fair amount of memory. A later patch by Tomas will introduce a better approach. Author: Tomas Vondra Reviewed-By: Andres Freund Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/d15dff83-0b37-28ed-0809-95a5cc7292ad@2ndquadrant.com

* Correct logical decoding restore behaviour for subtransactions.Andres Freund2016-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before initializing iteration over a subtransaction's changes, the last few changes were not spilled to disk. That's correct if the transaction didn't spill to disk, but otherwise... This bug can lead to missed or misorderd subtransaction contents when they were spilled to disk. Move spilling of the remaining in-memory changes to ReorderBufferIterTXNInit(), where it can easily be applied to the top transaction and, if present, subtransactions. Since this code had too many bugs already, noticeably increase test coverage.

* Add macros to make AllocSetContextCreate() calls simpler and safer.Tom Lane2016-08-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I found that half a dozen (nearly 5%) of our AllocSetContextCreate calls had typos in the context-sizing parameters. While none of these led to especially significant problems, they did create minor inefficiencies, and it's now clear that expecting people to copy-and-paste those calls accurately is not a great idea. Let's reduce the risk of future errors by introducing single macros that encapsulate the common use-cases. Three such macros are enough to cover all but two special-purpose contexts; those two calls can be left as-is, I think. While this patch doesn't in itself improve matters for third-party extensions, it doesn't break anything for them either, and they can gradually adopt the simplified notation over time. In passing, change TopMemoryContext to use the default allocation parameters. Formerly it could only be extended 8K at a time. That was probably reasonable when this code was written; but nowadays we create many more contexts than we did then, so that it's not unusual to have a couple hundred K in TopMemoryContext, even without considering various dubious code that sticks other things there. There seems no good reason not to let it use growing blocks like most other contexts. Back-patch to 9.6, mostly because that's still close enough to HEAD that it's easy to do so, and keeping the branches in sync can be expected to avoid some future back-patching pain. The bugs fixed by these changes don't seem to be significant enough to justify fixing them further back. Discussion: <21072.1472321324@sss.pgh.pa.us>

* Emit invalidations to standby for transactions without xid.Andres Freund2016-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | So far, when a transaction with pending invalidations, but without an assigned xid, committed, we simply ignored those invalidation messages. That's problematic, because those are actually sent for a reason. Known symptoms of this include that existing sessions on a hot-standby replica sometimes fail to notice new concurrently built indexes and visibility map updates. The solution is to WAL log such invalidations in transactions without an xid. We considered to alternatively force-assign an xid, but that'd be problematic for vacuum, which might be run in systems with few xids. Important: This adds a new WAL record, but as the patch has to be back-patched, we can't bump the WAL page magic. This means that standbys have to be updated before primaries; otherwise "PANIC: standby_redo: unknown op code 32" errors can be encountered.

* Fix core dump in ReorderBufferRestoreChange on alignment-picky platforms.Tom Lane2016-04-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When re-reading an update involving both an old tuple and a new tuple from disk, reorderbuffer.c was careless about whether the new tuple is suitably aligned for direct access --- in general, it isn't. We'd missed seeing this in the buildfarm because the contrib/test_decoding tests exercise this code path only a few times, and by chance all of those cases have old tuples with length a multiple of 4, which is usually enough to make the access to the new tuple's t_len safe. For some still-not-entirely-clear reason, however, Debian's sparc build gets a bus error, as reported by Christoph Berg; perhaps it's assuming 8-byte alignment of the pointer? The lack of previous field reports is probably because you need all of these conditions to trigger a crash: an alignment-picky platform (not Intel), a transaction large enough to spill to disk, an update within that xact that changes a primary-key field and has an odd-length old tuple, and of course logical decoding tracing the transaction. Avoid the alignment assumption by using memcpy instead of fetching t_len directly, and add a test case that exposes the crash on picky platforms. Back-patch to 9.4 where the bug was introduced.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Coverity and inspection for the issue addressed in fd45d16f found some questionable code. Specifically coverity noticed that the wrong length was added in ReorderBufferSerializeChange() - without immediate negative consequences as the variable isn't used afterwards. During code-review and testing I noticed that a bit of space was wasted when allocating tuple bufs in several places. Thirdly, the debug memset()s in ReorderBufferGetTupleBuf() reduce the error checking valgrind can do. Backpatch: 9.4, like c8f621c43.

That happens to currently not cause active problems on a number of platforms because the affected pointer is already aligned, but others, like ppc and hppa, trigger this in the regression test, due to a debug memset clearing memory. Fix that. Backpatch: 9.4, like the previous commit.
* logical decoding: Fix handling of large old tuples with replica identity full.Andres Freund2016-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When decoding the old version of an UPDATE or DELETE change, and if that tuple was bigger than MaxHeapTupleSize, we either Assert'ed out, or failed in more subtle ways in non-assert builds. Normally individual tuples aren't bigger than MaxHeapTupleSize, with big datums toasted. But that's not the case for the old version of a tuple for logical decoding; the replica identity is logged as one piece. With the default replica identity btree limits that to small tuples, but that's not the case for FULL. Change the tuple buffer infrastructure to separate allocate over-large tuples, instead of always going through the slab cache. This unfortunately requires changing the ReorderBufferTupleBuf definition, we need to store the allocated size someplace. To avoid requiring output plugins to recompile, don't store HeapTupleHeaderData directly after HeapTupleData, but point to it via t_data; that leaves rooms for the allocated size. As there's no reason for an output plugin to look at ReorderBufferTupleBuf->t_data.header, remove the field. It was just a minor convenience having it directly accessible.

* logical decoding: old/newtuple in spooled UPDATE changes was switched around.Andres Freund2016-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Somehow I managed to flip the order of restoring old & new tuples when de-spooling a change in a large transaction from disk. This happens to only take effect when a change is spooled to disk which has old/new versions of the tuple. That only is the case for UPDATEs where he primary key changed or where replica identity is changed to FULL. The tests didn't catch this because either spooled updates, or updates that changed primary keys, were tested; not both at the same time. Found while adding tests for the following commit.

* logical decoding: Tell reorderbuffer about all xids.Andres Freund2016-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Logical decoding's reorderbuffer keeps transactions in an LSN ordered list for efficiency. To make that's efficiently possible upper-level xids are forced to be logged before nested subtransaction xids. That only works though if these records are all looked at: Unfortunately we didn't do so for e.g. row level locks, which are otherwise uninteresting for logical decoding. This could lead to errors like: "ERROR: subxact logged without previous toplevel record". It's not sufficient to just look at row locking records, the xid could appear first due to a lot of other types of records (which will trigger the transaction to be marked logged with MarkCurrentTransactionIdLoggedIfAny). So invent infrastructure to tell reorderbuffer about xids seen, when they'd otherwise not pass through reorderbuffer.c.

The bug fortunately does not have any impact besides speed. A change could end up being in the wrong segment (last instead of next), but since we read all files to the end, that's just ugly, not really problematic. It's not a problem to upgrade, since transaction spill files do not persist across restarts.

* Add support for INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING/UPDATE.Andres Freund2015-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The newly added ON CONFLICT clause allows to specify an alternative to raising a unique or exclusion constraint violation error when inserting. ON CONFLICT refers to constraints that can either be specified using a inference clause (by specifying the columns of a unique constraint) or by naming a unique or exclusion constraint. DO NOTHING avoids the constraint violation, without touching the pre-existing row. DO UPDATE SET ... [WHERE ...] updates the pre-existing tuple, and has access to both the tuple proposed for insertion and the existing tuple; the optional WHERE clause can be used to prevent an update from being executed. The UPDATE SET and WHERE clauses have access to the tuple proposed for insertion using the "magic" EXCLUDED alias, and to the pre-existing tuple using the table name or its alias. This feature is often referred to as upsert. This is implemented using a new infrastructure called "speculative insertion". It is an optimistic variant of regular insertion that first does a pre-check for existing tuples and then attempts an insert. If a violating tuple was inserted concurrently, the speculatively inserted tuple is deleted and a new attempt is made. If the pre-check finds a matching tuple the alternative DO NOTHING or DO UPDATE action is taken. If the insertion succeeds without detecting a conflict, the tuple is deemed inserted. To handle the possible ambiguity between the excluded alias and a table named excluded, and for convenience with long relation names, INSERT INTO now can alias its target table.

* Introduce replication progress tracking infrastructure.Andres Freund2015-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When implementing a replication solution ontop of logical decoding, two related problems exist: * How to safely keep track of replication progress * How to change replication behavior, based on the origin of a row; e.g. to avoid loops in bi-directional replication setups The solution to these problems, as implemented here, consist out of three parts: 1) 'replication origins', which identify nodes in a replication setup. 2) 'replication progress tracking', which remembers, for each replication origin, how far replay has progressed in a efficient and crash safe manner. 3) The ability to filter out changes performed on the behest of a replication origin during logical decoding; this allows complex replication topologies. E.g. by filtering all replayed changes out. Most of this could also be implemented in "userspace", e.g. by inserting additional rows contain origin information, but that ends up being much less efficient and more complicated. We don't want to require various replication solutions to reimplement logic for this independently. The infrastructure is intended to be generic enough to be reusable. This infrastructure also replaces the 'nodeid' infrastructure of commit timestamps. It is intended to provide all the former capabilities, except that there's only 2^16 different origins; but now they integrate with logical decoding. Additionally more functionality is accessible via SQL. Since the commit timestamp infrastructure has also been introduced in 9.5 (commit 73c986add) changing the API is not a problem. For now the number of origins for which the replication progress can be tracked simultaneously is determined by the max_replication_slots GUC. That GUC is not a perfect match to configure this, but there doesn't seem to be sufficient reason to introduce a separate new one. Bumps both catversion and wal page magic.

* Fix assertion failure in logical decoding.Heikki Linnakangas2015-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Logical decoding set SnapshotData's regd_count field to avoid the snapshot manager from prematurely freeing snapshots that are generated by the decoding system. That was always an abuse of the field, as it was never supposed to be used outside the snapshot manager. Commit 94028691 made snapshot manager's tracking of the snapshots smarter, and that scheme fell apart. The snapshot manager got confused and hit the assertion, when a snapshot that was marked with regd_count==1 was not found in the heap, where the snapshot manager tracks registered the snapshots. To fix, don't abuse the regd_count field like that. Logical decoding still abuses the active_count field for similar purposes, but that's currently harmless.

* Improve hash_create's API for selecting simple-binary-key hash functions.Tom Lane2014-12-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, if you wanted anything besides C-string hash keys, you had to specify a custom hashing function to hash_create(). Nearly all such callers were specifying tag_hash or oid_hash; which is tedious, and rather error-prone, since a caller could easily miss the opportunity to optimize by using hash_uint32 when appropriate. Replace this with a design whereby callers using simple binary-data keys just specify HASH_BLOBS and don't need to mess with specific support functions. hash_create() itself will take care of optimizing when the key size is four bytes. This nets out saving a few hundred bytes of code space, and offers a measurable performance improvement in tidbitmap.c (which was not exploiting the opportunity to use hash_uint32 for its 4-byte keys). There might be some wins elsewhere too, I didn't analyze closely. In future we could look into offering a similar optimized hashing function for 8-byte keys. Under this design that could be done in a centralized and machine-independent fashion, whereas getting it right for keys of platform-dependent sizes would've been notationally painful before. For the moment, the old way still works fine, so as not to break source code compatibility for loadable modules. Eventually we might want to remove tag_hash and friends from the exported API altogether, since there's no real need for them to be explicitly referenced from outside dynahash.c.

* Revamp the WAL record format.Heikki Linnakangas2014-11-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Each WAL record now carries information about the modified relation and block(s) in a standardized format. That makes it easier to write tools that need that information, like pg_rewind, prefetching the blocks to speed up recovery, etc. There's a whole new API for building WAL records, replacing the XLogRecData chains used previously. The new API consists of XLogRegister* functions, which are called for each buffer and chunk of data that is added to the record. The new API also gives more control over when a full-page image is written, by passing flags to the XLogRegisterBuffer function. This also simplifies the XLogReadBufferForRedo() calls. The function can dig the relation and block number from the WAL record, so they no longer need to be passed as arguments. For the convenience of redo routines, XLogReader now disects each WAL record after reading it, copying the main data part and the per-block data into MAXALIGNed buffers. The data chunks are not aligned within the WAL record, but the redo routines can assume that the pointers returned by XLogRecGet* functions are. Redo routines are now passed the XLogReaderState, which contains the record in the already-disected format, instead of the plain XLogRecord. The new record format also makes the fixed size XLogRecord header smaller, by removing the xl_len field. The length of the "main data" portion is now stored at the end of the WAL record, and there's a separate header after XLogRecord for it. The alignment padding at the end of XLogRecord is also removed. This compansates for the fact that the new format would otherwise be more bulky than the old format.

* Fix and improve cache invalidation logic for logical decoding.Andres Freund2014-11-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are basically three situations in which logical decoding needs to perform cache invalidation. During/After replaying a transaction with catalog changes, when skipping a uninteresting transaction that performed catalog changes and when erroring out while replaying a transaction. Unfortunately these three cases were all done slightly differently - partially because 8de3e410fa, which greatly simplifies matters, got committed in the midst of the development of logical decoding. The actually problematic case was when logical decoding skipped transaction commits (and thus processed invalidations). When used via the SQL interface cache invalidation could access the catalog - bad, because we didn't set up enough state to allow that correctly. It'd not be hard to setup sufficient state, but the simpler solution is to always perform cache invalidation outside a valid transaction. Also make the different cache invalidation cases look as similar as possible, to ease code review. This fixes the assertion failure reported by Antonin Houska in 53EE02D9.7040702@gmail.com. The presented testcase has been expanded into a regression test. Backpatch to 9.4, where logical decoding was introduced.

* Fix decoding of MULTI_INSERTs when rows other than the last are toasted.Andres Freund2014-07-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When decoding the results of a HEAP2_MULTI_INSERT (currently only generated by COPY FROM) toast columns for all but the last tuple weren't replaced by their actual contents before being handed to the output plugin. The reassembled toast datums where disregarded after every REORDER_BUFFER_CHANGE_(INSERT|UPDATE|DELETE) which is correct for plain inserts, updates, deletes, but not multi inserts - there we generate several REORDER_BUFFER_CHANGE_INSERTs for a single xl_heap_multi_insert record. To solve the problem add a clear_toast_afterwards boolean to ReorderBufferChange's union member that's used by modifications. All row changes but multi_inserts always set that to true, but multi_insert sets it only for the last change generated. Add a regression test covering decoding of multi_inserts - there was none at all before. Backpatch to 9.4 where logical decoding was introduced. Bug found by Petr Jelinek.
* Rename logical decoding's pg_llog directory to pg_logical.Andres Freund2014-07-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The old name wasn't very descriptive as of actual contents of the directory, which are historical snapshots in the snapshots/ subdirectory and mappingdata for rewritten tuples in mappings/. There's been a fair amount of discussion what would be a good name. I'm settling for pg_logical because it's likely that further data around logical decoding and replication will need saving in the future. Also add the missing entry for the directory into storage.sgml's list of PGDATA contents. Bumps catversion as the data directories won't be compatible.
