* Remove unstable test suite added by 525392d57Amit Langote2025-02-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The 'cached-plan-inval' test suite, introduced in 525392d57 under src/test/modules/delay_execution, aimed to verify that cached plan invalidation triggers replanning after deferred locks are taken. However, its ExecutorStart_hook-based approach relies on lock timing assumptions that, in retrospect, are fragile. This instability was exposed by failures on BF animal trilobite, which builds with CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS. One option was to dynamically disable the cache behavior that causes the test suite to fail by setting "debug_discard_caches = 0", but it seems better to remove the suite. The risk of future failures due to other cache flush hazards outweighs the benefit of catching real breakage in the backend behavior it tests.

* Don't lock partitions pruned by initial pruningAmit Langote2025-02-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before executing a cached generic plan, AcquireExecutorLocks() in plancache.c locks all relations in a plan's range table to ensure the plan is safe for execution. However, this locks runtime-prunable relations that will later be pruned during "initial" runtime pruning, introducing unnecessary overhead. This commit defers locking for such relations to executor startup and ensures that if the CachedPlan is invalidated due to concurrent DDL during this window, replanning is triggered. Deferring these locks avoids unnecessary locking overhead for pruned partitions, resulting in significant speedup, particularly when many partitions are pruned during initial runtime pruning. * Changes to locking when executing generic plans: AcquireExecutorLocks() now locks only unprunable relations, that is, those found in PlannedStmt.unprunableRelids (introduced in commit cbc127917e), to avoid locking runtime-prunable partitions unnecessarily. The remaining locks are taken by ExecDoInitialPruning(), which acquires them only for partitions that survive pruning. This deferral does not affect the locks required for permission checking in InitPlan(), which takes place before initial pruning. ExecCheckPermissions() now includes an Assert to verify that all relations undergoing permission checks, none of which can be in the set of runtime-prunable relations, are properly locked. * Plan invalidation handling: Deferring locks introduces a window where prunable relations may be altered by concurrent DDL, invalidating the plan. A new function, ExecutorStartCachedPlan(), wraps ExecutorStart() to detect and handle invalidation caused by deferred locking. If invalidation occurs, ExecutorStartCachedPlan() updates CachedPlan using the new UpdateCachedPlan() function and retries execution with the updated plan. To ensure all code paths that may be affected by this handle invalidation properly, all callers of ExecutorStart that may execute a PlannedStmt from a CachedPlan have been updated to use ExecutorStartCachedPlan() instead. UpdateCachedPlan() replaces stale plans in CachedPlan.stmt_list. A new CachedPlan.stmt_context, created as a child of CachedPlan.context, allows freeing old PlannedStmts while preserving the CachedPlan structure and its statement list. This ensures that loops over statements in upstream callers of ExecutorStartCachedPlan() remain intact. ExecutorStart() and ExecutorStart_hook implementations now return a boolean value indicating whether plan initialization succeeded with a valid PlanState tree in QueryDesc.planstate, or false otherwise, in which case QueryDesc.planstate is NULL. Hook implementations are required to call standard_ExecutorStart() at the beginning, and if it returns false, they should do the same without proceeding. * Testing: To verify these changes, the delay_execution module tests scenarios where cached plans become invalid due to changes in prunable relations after deferred locks. * Note to extension authors: ExecutorStart_hook implementations must verify plan validity after calling standard_ExecutorStart(), as explained earlier. For example: if (prev_ExecutorStart) plan_valid = prev_ExecutorStart(queryDesc, eflags); else plan_valid = standard_ExecutorStart(queryDesc, eflags); if (!plan_valid) return false; <extension-code> return true; Extensions accessing child relations, especially prunable partitions, via ExecGetRangeTableRelation() must now ensure their RT indexes are present in es_unpruned_relids (introduced in commit cbc127917e), or they will encounter an error. This is a strict requirement after this change, as only relations in that set are locked. The idea of deferring some locks to executor startup, allowing locks for prunable partitions to be skipped, was first proposed by Tom Lane.

* Disallow setting bogus GUCs within an extension's reserved namespace.Tom Lane2022-02-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 75d22069e tried to throw a warning for setting a custom GUC whose prefix belongs to a previously-loaded extension, if there is no such GUC defined by the extension. But that caused unstable behavior with parallel workers, because workers don't necessarily load extensions and GUCs in the same order their leader did. To make that work safely, we have to completely disallow the case. We now actually remove any such GUCs at the time of initial extension load, and then throw an error not just a warning if you try to add one later. While this might create a compatibility issue for a few people, the improvement in error-detection capability seems worth it; it's hard to believe that there's any good use-case for choosing such GUC names. This also un-reverts 5609cc01c (Rename EmitWarningsOnPlaceholders() to MarkGUCPrefixReserved()), since that function's old name is now even more of a misnomer.

* Add missing EmitWarningsOnPlaceholders() calls.Tom Lane2021-12-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Extensions that define any custom GUCs should call EmitWarningsOnPlaceholders after doing so, to help catch misspellings. Many of our contrib modules hadn't gotten the memo on that, though. Also add such calls to src/test/modules extensions that have GUCs. While these aren't really user-facing, they should illustrate good practice not faulty practice. Shinya Kato Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/524fa2c0a34f34b68fbfa90d0760d515@oss.nttdata.com

* Support testing of cases where table schemas change after planning.Tom Lane2020-08-07
We have various cases where we allow DDL on tables to be performed with less than full AccessExclusiveLock. This requires concurrent queries to be able to cope with the DDL change mid-flight, but up to now we had no repeatable way to test such cases. To improve that, invent a test module that allows halting a backend after planning and then resuming execution once we've done desired actions in another session. (The same approach could be used to inject delays in other places, if there's a suitable hook available.) This commit includes a single test case, which is meant to exercise the previously-untestable ExecCreatePartitionPruneState code repaired by commit 7a980dfc6. We'd probably not bother with this if that were the only foreseen benefit, but I expect additional test cases will use this infrastructure in the future.
