From 272c2ab9fd0a604e3200030b1ea26fd464c44935 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alvaro Herrera Date: Tue, 9 Jan 2018 15:54:39 -0300 Subject: Change some bogus PageGetLSN calls to BufferGetLSNAtomic MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit As src/backend/access/transam/README says, PageGetLSN may only be called by processes holding either exclusive lock on buffer, or a shared lock on buffer plus buffer header lock. Therefore any place that only holds a shared buffer lock must use BufferGetLSNAtomic instead of PageGetLSN, which internally obtains buffer header lock prior to reading the LSN. A few callsites failed to comply with this rule. This was detected by running all tests under a new (not committed) assertion that verifies PageGetLSN locking contract. All but one of the callsites that failed the assertion are fixed by this patch. Remaining callsites were inspected manually and determined not to need any change. The exception (unfixed callsite) is in TestForOldSnapshot, which only has a Page argument, making it impossible to access the corresponding Buffer from it. Fixing that seems a much larger patch that will have to be done separately; and that's just as well, since it was only introduced in 9.6 and other bugs are much older. Some of these bugs are ancient; backpatch all the way back to 9.3.
