* Remove unnecessary "head" arguments from some dlist/slist functions.Tom Lane2012-10-18
| | | | | | | | dlist_delete, dlist_insert_after, dlist_insert_before, slist_insert_after do not need access to the list header, and indeed insisting on that negates one of the main advantages of a doubly-linked list. In consequence, revert addition of "cache_bucket" field to CatCTup.
* Code review for inline-list patch.Tom Lane2012-10-18
| | | | | | | Make foreach macros less syntactically dangerous, and fix some typos in evidently-never-tested ones. Add missing slist_next_node and slist_head_node functions. Fix broken dlist_check code. Assorted comment improvements.
* Further tweaking of the readfile() function in pg_ctl.Heikki Linnakangas2012-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | Don't leak a file descriptor if the file is empty or we can't read its size. Expect there to be a newline at the end of the last line, too. If there isn't, ignore anything after the last newline. This makes it a tiny bit more robust in case the file is appended to concurrently, so that we don't return the last line if it hasn't been fully written yet. And this makes the code a bit less obscure, anyway. Per Tom Lane's suggestion. Backpatch to all supported branches.

* Fix planning of non-strict equivalence clauses above outer joins.Tom Lane2012-10-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a potential equivalence clause references a variable from the nullable side of an outer join, the planner needs to take care that derived clauses are not pushed to below the outer join; else they may use the wrong value for the variable. (The problem arises only with non-strict clauses, since if an upper clause can be proven strict then the outer join will get simplified to a plain join.) The planner attempted to prevent this type of error by checking that potential equivalence clauses aren't outerjoin-delayed as a whole, but actually we have to check each side separately, since the two sides of the clause will get moved around separately if it's treated as an equivalence. Bugs of this type can be demonstrated as far back as 7.4, even though releases before 8.3 had only a very ad-hoc notion of equivalence clauses. In addition, we neglected to account for the possibility that such clauses might have nonempty nullable_relids even when not outerjoin-delayed; so the equivalence-class machinery lacked logic to compute correct nullable_relids values for clauses it constructs. This oversight was harmless before 9.2 because we were only using RestrictInfo.nullable_relids for OR clauses; but as of 9.2 it could result in pushing constructed equivalence clauses to incorrect places. (This accounts for bug #7604 from Bill MacArthur.) Fix the first problem by adding a new test check_equivalence_delay() in distribute_qual_to_rels, and fix the second one by adding code in equivclass.c and called functions to set correct nullable_relids for generated clauses. Although I believe the second part of this is not currently necessary before 9.2, I chose to back-patch it anyway, partly to keep the logic similar across branches and partly because it seems possible we might find other reasons why we need valid values of nullable_relids in the older branches. Add regression tests illustrating these problems. In 9.0 and up, also add test cases checking that we can push constants through outer joins, since we've broken that optimization before and I nearly broke it again with an overly simplistic patch for this problem.

* Close un-owned SMgrRelations at transaction end.Tom Lane2012-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If an SMgrRelation is not "owned" by a relcache entry, don't allow it to live past transaction end. This design allows the same SMgrRelation to be used for blind writes of multiple blocks during a transaction, but ensures that we don't hold onto such an SMgrRelation indefinitely. Because an SMgrRelation typically corresponds to open file descriptors at the fd.c level, leaving it open when there's no corresponding relcache entry can mean that we prevent the kernel from reclaiming deleted disk space. (While CacheInvalidateSmgr messages usually fix that, there are cases where they're not issued, such as DROP DATABASE. We might want to add some more sinval messaging for that, but I'd be inclined to keep this type of logic anyway, since allowing VFDs to accumulate indefinitely for blind-written relations doesn't seem like a good idea.) This code replaces a previous attempt towards the same goal that proved to be unreliable. Back-patch to 9.1 where the previous patch was added.
* Revert "Use "transient" files for blind writes, take 2".Tom Lane2012-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit fba105b1099f4f5fa7283bb17cba6fed2baa8d0c. That approach had problems with the smgr-level state not tracking what we really want to happen, and with the VFD-level state not tracking the smgr-level state very well either. In consequence, it was still possible to hold kernel file descriptors open for long-gone tables (as in recent report from Tore Halset), and yet there were also cases of FDs being closed undesirably soon. A replacement implementation will follow.
* Embedded list interfaceAlvaro Herrera2012-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Provide a common implementation of embedded singly-linked and doubly-linked lists. "Embedded" in the sense that the nodes' next/previous pointers exist within some larger struct; this design choice reduces memory allocation overhead. Most of the implementation uses inlineable functions (where supported), for performance. Some existing uses of both types of lists have been converted to the new code, for demonstration purposes. Other uses can (and probably will) be converted in the future. Since dllist.c is unused after this conversion, it has been removed.

* alter_generic regression test cannot run concurrently with privileges test.Tom Lane2012-10-15

* Fix race condition in pg_ctl reading postmaster.pid.Heikki Linnakangas2012-10-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | If postmaster changed postmaster.pid while pg_ctl was reading it, pg_ctl could overrun the buffer it allocated for the file. Fix by reading the whole file to memory with one read() call. initdb contains an identical copy of the readfile() function, but the files that initdb reads are static, not modified concurrently. Nevertheless, add a simple bounds-check there, if only to silence static analysis tools. Per report from Dave Vitek. Backpatch to all supported branches.
* Split up process latch initialization for more-fail-soft behavior.Tom Lane2012-10-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the previous coding, new backend processes would attempt to create their self-pipe during the OwnLatch call in InitProcess. However, pipe creation could fail if the kernel is short of resources; and the system does not recover gracefully from a FATAL error right there, since we have armed the dead-man switch for this process and not yet set up the on_shmem_exit callback that would disarm it. The postmaster then forces an unnecessary database-wide crash and restart, as reported by Sean Chittenden. There are various ways we could rearrange the code to fix this, but the simplest and sanest seems to be to split out creation of the self-pipe into a new function InitializeLatchSupport, which must be called from a place where failure is allowed. For most processes that gets called in InitProcess or InitAuxiliaryProcess, but processes that don't call either but still use latches need their own calls. Back-patch to 9.1, which has only a part of the latch logic that 9.2 and HEAD have, but nonetheless includes this bug.
* Fix oversight in new code for printing rangetable aliases.Tom Lane2012-10-12

| | | | We don't need this hack any more.
* Make equal() ignore CoercionForm fields for better planning with casts.Tom Lane2012-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change ensures that the planner will see implicit and explicit casts as equivalent for all purposes, except in the minority of cases where there's actually a semantic difference (as reflected by having a 3-argument cast function). In particular, this fixes cases where the EquivalenceClass machinery failed to consider two references to a varchar column as equivalent if one was implicitly cast to text but the other was explicitly cast to text, as seen in bug #7598 from Vaclav Juza. We have had similar bugs before in other parts of the planner, so I think it's time to fix this problem at the core instead of continuing to band-aid around it. Remove set_coercionform_dontcare(), which represents the band-aid previously in use for allowing matching of index and constraint expressions with inconsistent cast labeling. (We can probably get rid of COERCE_DONTCARE altogether, but I don't think removing that enum value in back branches would be wise; it's possible there's third party code referring to it.) Back-patch to 9.2. We could go back further, and might want to once this has been tested more; but for the moment I won't risk destabilizing plan choices in long-since-stable branches.

* Fix cross-type case in partial row matching for hashed subplans.Tom Lane2012-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When hashing a subplan like "WHERE (a, b) NOT IN (SELECT x, y FROM ...)", findPartialMatch() attempted to match rows using the hashtable's internal equality operators, which of course are for x and y's datatypes. What we need to use are the potentially cross-type operators for a=x, b=y, etc. Failure to do that leads to wrong answers or even crashes. The scope for problems is limited to cases where we have different types with compatible hash functions (else we'd not be using a hashed subplan), but for example int4 vs int8 can cause the problem. Per bug #7597 from Bo Jensen. This has been wrong since the hashed-subplan code was written, so patch all the way back.
* Improve replication connection timeouts.Heikki Linnakangas2012-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rename replication_timeout to wal_sender_timeout, and add a new setting called wal_receiver_timeout that does the same at the walreceiver side. There was previously no timeout in walreceiver, so if the network went down, for example, the walreceiver could take a long time to notice that the connection was lost. Now with the two settings, both sides of a replication connection will detect a broken connection similarly. It is no longer necessary to manually set wal_receiver_status_interval to a value smaller than the timeout. Both wal sender and receiver now automatically send a "ping" message if more than 1/2 of the configured timeout has elapsed, and it hasn't received any messages from the other end.

* Set procost to 10 for each of the pg_foo_is_visible() functions.Tom Lane2012-10-10
| | | | | | | | | | | The idea here is to make sure the planner will evaluate these functions last not first among the filter conditions in psql pattern search and tab-completion queries. We've discussed this several times, and there was consensus to do it back in August, but we didn't want to do it just before a release. Now seems like a safer time. No catversion bump, since this catalog change doesn't create a backend incompatibility nor any regression test result changes.
* Fix PGXS support for building loadable modules on AIX.Tom Lane2012-10-09
| | | | | | | | | | Building a shlib on AIX requires use of the mkldexport.sh script, but we failed to install that, preventing its use from non-source-tree contexts. Also, Makefile.aix had the wrong idea about where to find the installed copy of the postgres.imp symbol file used by AIX. Per report from John Pierce. Patch all the way back, since this has been broken since the beginning of PGXS.
* Remove unnecessary overhead in backend's large-object operations.Tom Lane2012-10-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Do read/write permissions checks at most once per large object descriptor, not once per lo_read or lo_write call as before. The repeated tests were quite useless in the read case since the snapshot-based tests were guaranteed to produce the same answer every time. In the write case, the extra tests could in principle detect revocation of write privileges after a series of writes has started --- but there's a race condition there anyway, since we'd check privileges before performing and certainly before committing the write. So there's no real advantage to checking every single time, and we might as well redefine it as "only check the first time". On the same reasoning, remove the LargeObjectExists checks in inv_write and inv_truncate. We already checked existence when the descriptor was opened, and checking again doesn't provide any real increment of safety that would justify the cost.

* Fix lo_import and lo_export to return useful error messages more often.Tom Lane2012-10-08
| | | | | | | | | I found that these functions tend to return -1 while leaving an empty error message string in the PGconn, if they suffer some kind of I/O error on the file. The reason is that lo_close, which thinks it's executed a perfectly fine SQL command, clears the errorMessage. The minimum-change workaround is to reorder operations here so that we don't fill the errorMessage until after lo_close.

| | | | lo_export returns -1, not zero, on failure.
* Fix lo_read, lo_write, lo_truncate to cope with "size_t" length parameters.Tom Lane2012-10-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | libpq defines these functions as accepting "size_t" lengths ... but the underlying backend functions expect signed int32 length parameters, and so will misinterpret any value exceeding INT_MAX. Fix the libpq side to throw error rather than possibly doing something unexpected. This is a bug of long standing, but I doubt it's worth back-patching. The problem is really pretty academic anyway with lo_read/lo_write, since any caller expecting sane behavior would have to have provided a multi-gigabyte buffer. It's slightly more pressing with lo_truncate, but still we haven't supported large objects over 2GB until now.

* Fix walsender handling of postmaster shutdown, to not go into endless loop.Heikki Linnakangas2012-10-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This bug was introduced by my patch to use the regular die/quickdie signal handlers in walsender processes. I tried to make walsender exit at next CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() by setting ProcDiePending, but that's not enough, you need to set InterruptPending too. On second thoght, it was not a very good way to make walsender exit anyway, so use proc_exit(0) instead. Also, send a CommandComplete message before exiting; that's what we did before, and you get a nicer error message in the standby that way. Reported by Thom Brown.
* Autoconfiscate selection of 64-bit int type for 64-bit large object API.Tom Lane2012-10-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | Get rid of the fundamentally indefensible assumption that "long long int" exists and is exactly 64 bits wide on every platform Postgres runs on. Instead let the configure script select the type to use for "pg_int64". This is a bit of a pain in the rear since we do not want to pollute client namespace with all the random symbols that pg_config.h defines; instead we have to create a separate generated header file, "pg_config_ext.h". But now that the infrastructure is there, we might have the ability to add some other stuff that's long been wanting in this area.
