2023-12-27Doc: specify aclitem syntax more clearly.Tom Lane

2023-12-26Fix failure to verify PGC_[SU_]BACKEND GUCs in pg_file_settings view.Tom Lane
set_config_option() bails out early if it detects that the option to be set is PGC_BACKEND or PGC_SU_BACKEND class and we're reading the config file in a postmaster child; we don't want to apply any new value in such a case. That's fine as far as it goes, but it fails to consider the requirements of the pg_file_settings view: for that, we need to check validity of the value even though we have no intention to apply it. Because we didn't, even very silly values for affected GUCs would be reported as valid by the view. There are only half a dozen such GUCs, which perhaps explains why this got overlooked for so long. Fix by continuing when changeVal is false; this parallels the logic in some other early-exit paths. Also, the check added by commit 924bcf4f1 to prevent GUC changes in parallel workers seems a few bricks shy of a load: it's evidently assuming that ereport(elevel, ...) won't return. Make sure we bail out if it does. The lack of trouble reports suggests that this is only a latent bug, i.e. parallel workers don't actually reach here with elevel < ERROR. (Per the code coverage report, we never reach here at all in the regression suite.) But we clearly don't want to risk proceeding if that does happen. Per report from Rıdvan Korkmaz. These are ancient bugs, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2089235.1703617353@sss.pgh.pa.us

2023-12-26Hide warnings from Python headers when using gcc-compatible compiler.Tom Lane
Like commit 388e80132, use "#pragma GCC system_header" to silence warnings appearing within the Python headers, since newer Python versions no longer worry about some restrictions we still use like -Wdeclaration-after-statement. This patch improves on 388e80132 by inventing a separate wrapper header file, allowing the pragma to be tightly scoped to just the Python headers and not other stuff we have laying about in plpython.h. I applied the same technique to plperl for the same reason: the original patch suppressed warnings for a good deal of our own code, not only the Perl headers.

2023-12-23Set readline-relevant ENV vars in interactive_psql(), not caller.Tom Lane
Commit 664d75753 pulled 010_tab_completion.pl's infrastructure for invoking an interactive psql session out into a generally-useful test function, but it didn't move enough stuff. We need to set up various environment variables that readline will look at, both to ensure stability of test results and to prevent test actions from cluttering the calling user's ~/.psql_history. Expecting calling scripts to remember to do that is too failure-prone: the other existing caller 001_password.pl did not do it. Hence, remove those initialization steps from 010_tab_completion.pl and put them into interactive_psql(). Since interactive_psql was already making a local ENV hash, this has no effect on calling scripts. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/794610.1703182896@sss.pgh.pa.us
2023-12-21Avoid trying to fetch metapage of an SPGist partitioned index.Tom Lane
This is necessary when spgcanreturn() is invoked on a partitioned index, and the failure might be reachable in other scenarios as well. The rest of what spgGetCache() does is perfectly sensible for a partitioned index, so we should allow it to go through. I think the main takeaway from this is that we lack sufficient test coverage for non-btree partitioned indexes. Therefore, I added simple test cases for brin and gin as well as spgist (hash and gist AMs were covered already in indexing.sql). Per bug #18256 from Alexander Lakhin. Although the known test case only fails since v16 (3c569049b), I've got no faith at all that there aren't other ways to reach this problem; so back-patch to all supported branches.

2023-12-21Fix BEFORE ROW trigger handling in cross-partition MERGE update.Dean Rasheed
Fix a bug during MERGE if a cross-partition update is attempted on a partitioned table with a BEFORE DELETE ROW trigger that returns NULL, to prevent the update. This would cause an error to be thrown, or an assert failure in an assert-enabled build. This was an oversight in 9321c79c86, which failed to properly distinguish a DELETE prevented by a trigger from one prevented by a concurrent update. Fix by having ExecDelete() return the TM_Result status to ExecCrossPartitionUpdate(), so that it can distinguish the two cases, and make ExecCrossPartitionUpdate() return the TM_Result status to ExecUpdateAct(), so that it can return the correct status from a concurrent update. In addition, ensure that the command tag is correctly updated by having ExecMergeMatched() pass canSetTag to ExecUpdateAct(), rather than passing false, so that it updates the command tag if it does a cross-partition update, making this code path in ExecMergeMatched() consistent with ExecUpdate(). Per bug #18238 from Alexander Lakhin. Back-patch to v15, where MERGE was introduced. Dean Rasheed, reviewed by Richard Guo and Jian He.

This was leading to a "could not open file" error because partitioned indexes have no physical files, or to a crash with an assertion failure (like on HEAD).

2023-12-15Fix bugs in manipulation of large objects.Tom Lane
In v16 and up (since commit afbfc0298), large object ownership checking has been broken because object_ownercheck() didn't take care of the discrepancy between our object-address representation of large objects (classId == LargeObjectRelationId) and the catalog where their ownership info is actually stored (LargeObjectMetadataRelationId). This resulted in failures such as "unrecognized class ID: 2613" when trying to update blob properties as a non-superuser. Poking around for related bugs, I found that AlterObjectOwner_internal would pass the wrong classId to the PostAlterHook in the no-op code path where the large object already has the desired owner. Also, recordExtObjInitPriv checked for the wrong classId; that bug is only latent because the stanza is dead code anyway, but as long as we're carrying it around it should be less wrong. These bugs are quite old. In HEAD, we can reduce the scope for future bugs of this ilk by changing AlterObjectOwner_internal's API to let the translation happen inside that function, rather than requiring callers to know about it. A more bulletproof fix, perhaps, would be to start using LargeObjectMetadataRelationId as the dependency and object-address classId for blobs. However that has substantial risk of breaking third-party code; even within our own code, it'd create hassles for pg_dump which would have to cope with a version-dependent representation. For now, keep the status quo. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2650449.1702497209@sss.pgh.pa.us

2023-12-12Prevent tuples to be marked as dead in subtransactions on standbysMichael Paquier
Dead tuples are ignored and are not marked as dead during recovery, as it can lead to MVCC issues on a standby because its xmin may not match with the primary. This information is tracked by a field called "xactStartedInRecovery" in the transaction state data, switched on when starting a transaction in recovery. Unfortunately, this information was not correctly tracked when starting a subtransaction, because the transaction state used for the subtransaction did not update "xactStartedInRecovery" based on the state of its parent. This would cause index scans done in subtransactions to return inconsistent data, depending on how the xmin of the primary and/or the standby evolved. This is broken since the introduction of hot standby in efc16ea52067, so backpatch all the way down.

2023-12-11Be more wary about OpenSSL not setting errno on error.Tom Lane
OpenSSL will sometimes return SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL without having set errno; this is apparently a reflection of recv(2)'s habit of not setting errno when reporting EOF. Ensure that we treat such cases the same as read EOF. Previously, we'd frequently report them like "could not accept SSL connection: Success" which is confusing, or worse report them with an unrelated errno left over from some previous syscall. To fix, ensure that errno is zeroed immediately before the call, and report its value only when it's not zero afterwards; otherwise report EOF. For consistency, I've applied the same coding pattern in libpq's pqsecure_raw_read(). Bare recv(2) shouldn't really return -1 without setting errno, but in case it does we might as well cope.

2023-12-11Fix an undetected deadlock due to apply worker.Amit Kapila
The apply worker needs to update the state of the subscription tables to 'READY' during the synchronization phase which requires locking the corresponding subscription. The apply worker also waits for the subscription tables to reach the 'SYNCDONE' state after holding the locks on the subscription and the wait is done using WaitLatch. The 'SYNCDONE' state is changed by tablesync workers again by locking the corresponding subscription. Both the state updates use AccessShareLock mode to lock the subscription, so they can't block each other. However, a backend can simultaneously try to acquire a lock on the same subscription using AccessExclusiveLock mode to alter the subscription. Now, the backend's wait on a lock can sneak in between the apply worker and table sync worker causing deadlock. In other words, apply_worker waits for tablesync worker which waits for backend, and backend waits for apply worker. This is not detected by the deadlock detector because apply worker uses WaitLatch. The fix is to release existing locks in apply worker before it starts to wait for tablesync worker to change the state.

This commit removes the restriction that would not apply filters to the dumps used for comparison in the TAP test of pg_upgrade when using the same base version for the old and new nodes. The previous logic would fail on Windows if loading a dump while using the same set of binaries for the old and new nodes, as the library dependencies updated in the old dump would append CRLFs to the dump file as it is treated as a text file. The dump filtering logic replaces all CRLFs (\r\n) by LFs (\n), which is able to prevent this issue. When the old and new versions of the binaries are the same, AdjustUpgrade removes all blank lines, removes version-based comments generated by pg_dump and replaces CRLFs by LFs.

2023-12-01Check collation when creating partitioned indexPeter Eisentraut
When creating a partitioned index, the partition key must be a subset of the index's columns. But this currently doesn't check that the collations between the partition key and the index definition match. So you can construct a unique index that fails to enforce uniqueness. (This would most likely involve a nondeterministic collation, so it would have to be crafted explicitly and is not something that would just happen by accident.)

2023-11-27Avoid unconditionally filling in missing values with NULL in pgoutput.Amit Kapila
52e4f0cd4 introduced a bug in pgoutput in which missing values in tuples were incorrectly filled in with NULL. The problem was the use of CreateTupleDescCopy where CreateTupleDescCopyConstr was required, as the former drops the constraints in the tuple description (specifically, the default value constraint) on the floor. The bug could result in incorrectness when a table replicated via `REPLICA IDENTITY FULL` underwent a schema change that added a column with a default value. The problem is that in such cases updates fill NULL values in old tuples for missing columns for default values. Then on the subscriber, we failed to find a matching tuple and missed updating the required row.

2023-11-27Fix race condition with BIO methods initialization in libpq with threadsMichael Paquier
The libpq code in charge of creating per-connection SSL objects was prone to a race condition when loading the custom BIO methods needed by my_SSL_set_fd(). As BIO methods are stored as a static variable, the initialization of a connection could fail because it could be possible to have one thread refer to my_bio_methods while it is being manipulated by a second concurrent thread. This error has been introduced by 8bb14cdd33de, that has removed ssl_config_mutex around the call of my_SSL_set_fd(), that itself sets the custom BIO methods used in libpq. Like previously, the BIO method initialization is now protected by the existing ssl_config_mutex, itself initialized earlier for WIN32. While on it, document that my_bio_methods is protected by ssl_config_mutex, as this can be easy to miss.

2023-11-23Fix timing-dependent failure in GSSAPI data transmission.Tom Lane
When using GSSAPI encryption in non-blocking mode, libpq sometimes failed with "GSSAPI caller failed to retransmit all data needing to be retried". The cause is that pqPutMsgEnd rounds its transmit request down to an even multiple of 8K, and sometimes that can lead to not requesting a write of data that was requested to be written (but reported as not written) earlier. That can upset pg_GSS_write's logic for dealing with not-yet-written data, since it's possible the data in question had already been incorporated into an encrypted packet that we weren't able to send during the previous call. We could fix this with a one-or-two-line hack to disable pqPutMsgEnd's round-down behavior, but that seems like making the caller work around a behavior that pg_GSS_write shouldn't expose in this way. Instead, adjust pg_GSS_write to never report a partial write: it either reports a complete write, or reflects the failure of the lower-level pqsecure_raw_write call. The requirement still exists for the caller to present at least as much data as on the previous call, but with the caller-visible write start point not moving there is no temptation for it to present less. We lose some ability to reclaim buffer space early, but I doubt that that will make much difference in practice. This also gets rid of a rather dubious assumption that "any interesting failure condition (from pqsecure_raw_write) will recur on the next try". We've not seen failure reports traceable to that, but I've never trusted it particularly and am glad to remove it. Make the same adjustments to the equivalent backend routine be_gssapi_write(). It is probable that there's no bug on the backend side, since we don't have a notion of nonblock mode there; but we should keep the logic the same to ease future maintenance. Per bug #18210 from Lars Kanis. Back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/18210-4c6d0b14627f2eb8@postgresql.org
2023-11-23Fix resource leak when a FDW's ForeignAsyncRequest function failsHeikki Linnakangas
If an error is thrown after calling CreateWaitEventSet(), the memory of a WaitEventSet is free'd as it's allocated in the short-lived memory context, but the file descriptor (on epoll- or kqueue-based systems) or handles (on Windows) that it contains are leaked. Use PG_TRY-FINALLY to ensure it gets freed. (On master, I will apply a better fix, using ResourceOwners to track the WaitEventSet, but that's not backpatchable.) The added test doesn't check for leaking resources, so it passed even before this commit. But at least it covers the code path. In the passing, fix misleading comment on what the 'nevents' argument to WaitEventSetWait means. Report by Alexander Lakhin, analysis and suggestion for the fix by Tom Lane. Fixes bug #17828. Backpatch to v14 where async execution was introduced, but master gets a different fix.

The DROP STATISTICS code failed to properly lock the table, leading to ERROR: tuple concurrently deleted when executed concurrently with ANALYZE. Fixed by modifying RemoveStatisticsById() to acquire the same lock as ANALYZE. This function is called only by DROP STATISTICS, as ANALYZE calls RemoveStatisticsDataById() directly.
