* pg_rewind: Fetch small files according to new size.Daniel Gustafsson2022-04-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a race condition if a file changes in the source system after we have collected the file list. If the file becomes larger, we only fetched up to its original size. That can easily result in a truncated file. That's not a problem for relation files, files in pg_xact, etc. because any actions on them will be replayed from the WAL. However, configuration files are affected. This commit mitigates the race condition by fetching small files in whole, even if they have grown. A test is added in which an extra file copied is concurrently grown with the output of pg_rewind thus guaranteeing it to have changed in size during the operation. This is not a full fix: we still believe the original file size for files larger than 1 MB. That should be enough for configuration files, and doing more than that would require big changes to the chunking logic in libpq_source.c. This mitigates the race condition if the file is modified between the original scan of files and copying the file, but there's still a race condition if a file is changed while it's being copied. That's a much smaller window, though, and pg_basebackup has the same issue. This race can be seen with pg_auto_failover, which frequently uses ALTER SYSTEM, which updates postgresql.auto.conf. Often, pg_rewind will fail, because the postgresql.auto.conf file changed concurrently and a partial version of it was copied to the target. The partial file would fail to parse, preventing the server from starting up.

* pg_rewind: Refactor the abstraction to fetch from local/libpq source.Heikki Linnakangas2020-11-04
This makes the abstraction of a "source" server more clear, by introducing a common abstract class, borrowing the object-oriented programming term, that represents all the operations that can be done on the source server. There are two implementations of it, one for fetching via libpq, and another to fetch from a local directory. This adds some code, but makes it easier to understand what's going on. The copy_executeFileMap() and libpq_executeFileMap() functions contained basically the same logic, just calling different functions to fetch the source files. Refactor so that the common logic is in one place, in a new function called perform_rewind().
