I broke this with my WAL format refactoring patch. Before that, the metapage
was read from disk, and modified in-place regardless of the LSN. That was
always a bit silly, as there's no need to read the old page version from
disk disk when we're overwriting it anyway. So that was changed in 9.5, but
I failed to add a GinInitPage call to initialize the page-headers correctly.
Usually you wouldn't notice, because the metapage is already in the page
cache and is not zeroed.
One way to reproduce this is to perform a VACUUM on an already vacuumed
table (so that the vacuum has no real work to do), immediately after a
checkpoint, and then perform an immediate shutdown. After recovery, the
page headers of the metapage will be incorrectly all-zeroes.

If data checksums or wal_log_hints is on, and a GIN page is split, the code
to find a new, empty, block was called after having already called
XLogBeginInsert(). That causes an assertion failure or PANIC, if finding the
new block involves updating a FSM page that had not been modified since last
checkpoint, because that update is WAL-logged, which calls XLogBeginInsert
again. Nested XLogBeginInsert calls are not supported.
To fix, rearrange GIN code so that XLogBeginInsert is called later, after
finding the victim buffers.

Use "a" and "an" correctly, mostly in comments. Two error messages were
also fixed (they were just elogs, so no translation work required). Two
function comments in pg_proc.h were also fixed. Etsuro Fujita reported one
of these, but I found a lot more with grep.
Also fix a few other typos spotted while grepping for the a/an typos.
For example, "consists out of ..." -> "consists of ...". Plus a "though"/
"through" mixup reported by Euler Taveira.
Many of these typos were in old code, which would be nice to backpatch to
make future backpatching easier. But much of the code was new, and I didn't
feel like crafting separate patches for each branch. So no backpatching.

For upcoming BRIN opclasses, it's convenient to have strategy numbers
defined in a single place. Since there's nothing appropriate, create
it. The StrategyNumber typedef now lives there, as well as existing
strategy numbers for B-trees (from skey.h) and R-tree-and-friends (from
gist.h). skey.h is forced to include stratnum.h because of the
StrategyNumber typedef, but gist.h is not; extensions that currently
rely on gist.h for rtree strategy numbers might need to add a new
A few .c files can stop including skey.h and/or gist.h, which is a nice
side benefit.

Previously the funcCtx was a child of the tmpCtx, but that was broken
by commit eaa5808e8ec4e82ce1a87103a6b6f687666e4e4c, which made
MemoryContextReset() delete, not reset, child contexts. The behavior of
having a tmpCtx reset also clear the other context seems rather dubious
anyway, so let's just disentangle them. Per report from Erik Rijkers.
In passing, fix badly-inaccurate comments about these contexts.

Per bug #12850 by Walter Nordmann. Backpatch to 9.4 where the leak was
introduced.
|

It was getting tedious to track and release all the different things that
form a scan key. We were leaking at least the queryCategories array, and
possibly more, on a rescan. That was visible if a GIN index was used in a
nested loop join. This also protects from leaks in extractQuery method.
No backpatching, given the lack of complaints from the field. Maybe later,
after this has received more field testing.

The requiredEntries / additionalEntries arrays were not freed in
freeScanKeys() like other per-key stuff.
It's not obvious, but startScanKey() was only ever called after the keys
have been initialized with ginNewScanKey(). That's why it doesn't need to
worry about freeing existing arrays. The ginIsNewKey() test in gingetbitmap
was never true, because ginrescan free's the existing keys, and it's not OK
to call gingetbitmap twice in a row without calling ginrescan in between.
To make that clear, remove the unnecessary ginIsNewKey(). And just to be
extra sure that nothing funny happens if there is an existing key after all,
call freeScanKeys() to free it if it exists. This makes the code more
straightforward.
(I'm seeing other similar leaks in testing a query that rescans an GIN index
scan, but that's a different issue. This just fixes the obvious leak with
those two arrays.)
Backpatch to 9.4, where GIN fast scan was added.

When gin_fuzzy_search_limit was used, we could jump out of startScan()
without calling startScanKey(). That was harmless in 9.3 and below, because
startScanKey()() didn't do anything interesting, but in 9.4 it initializes
information needed for skipping entries (aka GIN fast scans), and you
readily get a segfault if it's not done. Nevertheless, it was clearly wrong
all along, so backpatch all the way to 9.1 where the early return was
introduced.
(AFAICS startScanKey() did nothing useful in 9.3 and below, because the
fields it initialized were already initialized in ginFillScanKey(), but I
don't dare to change that in a minor release. ginFillScanKey() is always
called in gingetbitmap() even though there's a check there to see if the
scan keys have already been initialized, because they never are; ginrescan()
free's them.)
In the passing, remove unnecessary if-check from the second inner loop in
startScan(). We already check in the first loop that the condition is true
for all entries.
Reported by Olaf Gawenda, bug #12694, Backpatch to 9.1 and above, although
AFAICS it causes a live bug only in 9.4.

Each WAL record now carries information about the modified relation and
block(s) in a standardized format. That makes it easier to write tools that
need that information, like pg_rewind, prefetching the blocks to speed up
recovery, etc.
There's a whole new API for building WAL records, replacing the XLogRecData
chains used previously. The new API consists of XLogRegister* functions,
which are called for each buffer and chunk of data that is added to the
record. The new API also gives more control over when a full-page image is
written, by passing flags to the XLogRegisterBuffer function.
This also simplifies the XLogReadBufferForRedo() calls. The function can dig
the relation and block number from the WAL record, so they no longer need to
be passed as arguments.
For the convenience of redo routines, XLogReader now disects each WAL record
after reading it, copying the main data part and the per-block data into
MAXALIGNed buffers. The data chunks are not aligned within the WAL record,
but the redo routines can assume that the pointers returned by XLogRecGet*
functions are. Redo routines are now passed the XLogReaderState, which
contains the record in the already-disected format, instead of the plain
XLogRecord.
The new record format also makes the fixed size XLogRecord header smaller,
by removing the xl_len field. The length of the "main data" portion is now
stored at the end of the WAL record, and there's a separate header after
XLogRecord for it. The alignment padding at the end of XLogRecord is also
removed. This compansates for the fact that the new format would otherwise
be more bulky than the old format.

Since this parameter is only for GIN index, it's better to
add "gin" to the parameter name for easier understanding.

Previously the maximum size of GIN pending list was controlled only by
work_mem. But the reasonable value of work_mem and the reasonable size
of the list are basically not the same, so it was not appropriate to
control both of them by only one GUC, i.e., work_mem. This commit
separates new GUC, pending_list_cleanup_size, from work_mem to allow
users to control only the size of the list.
Also this commit adds pending_list_cleanup_size as new storage parameter
to allow users to specify the size of the list per index. This is useful,
for example, when users want to increase the size of the list only for
the GIN index which can be updated heavily, and decrease it otherwise.

xlog.c is huge, this makes it a little bit smaller, which is nice. Functions
related to putting together the WAL record are in xloginsert.c, and the
lower level stuff for managing WAL buffers and such are in xlog.c.
Also move the definition of XLogRecord to a separate header file. This
causes churn in the #includes of all the files that write WAL records, and
redo routines, but it avoids pulling in xlog.h into most places.

The code that tried to split a page at 75/25 ratio, when appending to the
end of an index, was buggy in two ways. First, there was a silly typo that
caused it to just fill the left page as full as possible. But the logic as
it was intended wasn't correct either, and would actually have given a ratio
closer to 60/40 than 75/25.
Gaetano Mendola spotted the typo. Backpatch to 9.4, where this code was added.

Every redo routine uses the same idiom to determine what to do to a page:
check if there's a backup block for it, and if not read, the buffer if the
block exists, and check its LSN. Refactor that into a common function,
XLogReadBufferForRedo, making all the redo routines shorter and more
readable.
This has no user-visible effect, and makes no changes to the WAL format.

The list of posting lists it's dealing with can contain placeholders for
deleted posting lists. The placeholders are kept around so that they can
be WAL-logged, but we must be careful to not try to access them.

where the compressed data leaf page code was added.

log_newpage is used by many indexams, in addition to heap, but for
historical reasons it's always been part of the heapam rmgr. Starting with
9.3, we have another WAL record type for logging an image of a page,
XLOG_FPI. Simplify things by moving log_newpage and log_newpage_buffer to
xlog.c, and switch to using the XLOG_FPI record type.
Bump the WAL version number because the code to replay the old HEAP_NEWPAGE
records is removed.

The existance of the assert_enabled variable (backing the
debug_assertions GUC) reduced the amount of knowledge some static code
checkers (like coverity and various compilers) could infer from the
existance of the assertion. That could have been solved by optionally
removing the assertion_enabled variable from the Assert() et al macros
at compile time when some special macro is defined, but the resulting
complication doesn't seem to be worth the gain from having
debug_assertions. Recompiling is fast enough.
The debug_assertions GUC is still available, but readonly, as it's
useful when diagnosing problems. The commandline/client startup option
-A, which previously also allowed to enable/disable assertions, has
been removed as it doesn't serve a purpose anymore.
While at it, reduce code duplication in bufmgr.c and localbuf.c
assertions checking for spurious buffer pins. That code had to be
reindented anyway to cope with the assert_enabled removal.

To-be-deleted list pages contain no useful information, as they are being
deleted, but we must still protect the writes from being torn by a crash
after a partial write. To do that, re-initialize the pages on WAL replay.
Jeff Janes caught this with a test program to test partial writes.

This includes removing tabs after periods in C comments, which was
applied to back branches, so this change should not effect backpatching.

In writeListPage, never take a full-page image of the page, because we
have all the information required to re-initialize in the WAL record
anyway. Before this fix, a full-page image was always generated, unless
full_page_writes=off, because when the page is initialized its LSN is
always 0. In stable-branches, keep the code to restore the backup blocks
if they exist, in case that the WAL is generated with an older minor
version, but in master Assert that there are no full-page images.
In the redo routine, add missing "off++". Otherwise the tuples are added
to the page in reverse order. That happens to be harmless because we
always scan and remove all the tuples together, but it was clearly wrong.
Also, it was masked by the first bug unless full_page_writes=off, because
the page was always restored from a full-page image.

of uncompressed items in addition to compressed posting lists. Earlier

This allows squeezing out the unused space in full-page writes. And more
importantly, it can be a useful debugging aid.
In hindsight we should've done this back when GIN was added - we wouldn't
need the 'maxoff' field in the page opaque struct if we had used pd_lower
and pd_upper like on normal pages. But as long as there can be pages in the
index that have been binary-upgraded from pre-9.4 versions, we can't rely
on that, and have to continue using 'maxoff'.
Most of the code churn comes from renaming some macros, now that they're
used on internal pages, too.
This change is completely backwards-compatible, no effect on pg_upgrade.

In some places, the function assumes the left page is valid, and in others,
it checks if it is valid. Remove all the checks.

The entry B-tree pages all follow the standard page layout. The 9.3 code has
this right. I inadvertently changed this at some point during the big
refactorings in git master.

There were a couple of bugs here. First, if the fuzzy limit was exceeded,
the loop in entryGetItem might drop out too soon if a whole block needs to
be skipped because it's < advancePast ("continue" in a while-loop checks the
loop condition too). Secondly, the loop checked when stepping to a new page
that there is at least one offset on the page < advancePast, but we cannot
rely on that on subsequent calls of entryGetItem, because advancePast might
change in between. That caused the skipping loop to read bogus items in the
TbmIterateResult's offset array.

de Royes Mello, by a small variation of Alexander's test query.

Forgot to set the incomplete-split flag on the left page half, in redo of a
page split.
Spotted this by comparing the page contents on master and standby, after
inserting/applying each WAL record.

Also add a regression test for a GIN index with enough items with the same
key, so that a GIN posting tree gets created. Apparently none of the
existing GIN tests were large enough for that.
This code is new, no backpatching required.
|
|
Inserting a downlink to an internal page clears the incomplete-split flag
of the child's left sibling, so the left sibling's LSN also needs to be
updated and it needs to be marked dirty. The codepath for an insertion got
this right, but the case where the internal node is split because of
inserting the new downlink missed that.

We don't use backup blocks with GIN vacuum records anymore, the page is

Inserting (in retail) into the new 9.4 format GIN posting tree created much
larger WAL records than in 9.3. The previous strategy to WAL logging was
basically to log the whole page on each change, with the exception of
completely unmodified segments up to the first modified one. That was not
too bad when appending to the end of the page, as only the last segment had
to be WAL-logged, but per Fujii Masao's testing, even that produced 2x the
WAL volume that 9.3 did.
The new strategy is to keep track of changes to the posting lists in a more
fine-grained fashion, and also make the repacking" code smarter to avoid
decoding and re-encoding segments unnecessarily.

It's more descriptive. Also, get rid of the enum, and use #defines instead,
per Greg Stark's suggestion.

That seems nicer than making it the caller's responsibility to pass a
suitable-sized array. All the callers were just palloc'ing an array anyway.

With the GIN "fast scan" feature, GIN can skip items without fetching all
the keys for them, if it can prove that they don't match regardless of
those keys. So far, it has done the proving by calling the boolean
consistent function with all combinations of TRUE/FALSE for the unfetched
keys, but since that's O(n^2), it becomes unfeasible with more than a few
keys. We can avoid calling consistent with all the combinations, if we can
tell the operator class implementation directly which keys are unknown.
This commit includes a triConsistent function for the built-in array and
tsvector opclasses.
Alexander Korotkov, with some changes by me.

We don't take a full-page image of the GIN metapage; instead, the WAL record
contains all the information required to reconstruct it from scratch. But
to avoid torn page hazards, we must re-initialize it from the WAL record
every time, even if it already has a greater LSN, similar to how normal full
page images are restored.
This was highly unlikely to cause any problems in practice, because the GIN
metapage is small. We rely on an update smaller than a 512 byte disk sector
to be atomic elsewhere, at least in pg_control. But better safe than sorry,
and this would be easy to overlook if more fields are added to the metapage
so that it's no longer small.

The shimTriConstistentFn, which calls the opclass's consistent function with
all combinations of TRUE/FALSE for any MAYBE argument, modifies the entryRes
array passed by the caller. Change startScanKey to re-initialize it between
each call to accommodate that.
It's actually a bad habit by shimTriConsistentFn to modify its argument. But
the only caller that doesn't already re-initialize the entryRes array was
startScanKey, and it's easy for startScanKey to do so. Add a comment to
shimTriConsistentFn about that.
Note: this does not give a free pass to opclass-provided consistent
functions to modify the entryRes argument; shimTriConsistent assumes that
they don't, even though it does it itself.
While at it, refactor startScanKey to allocate the requiredEntries and
additionalEntries after it knows exactly how large they need to be. Saves a
little bit of memory, and looks nicer anyway.
Per complaint by Tom Lane, buildfarm and the pg_trgm regression test.

If you have a GIN query like "rare & frequent", we currently fetch all the
items that match either rare or frequent, call the consistent function for
each item, and let the consistent function filter out items that only match
one of the terms. However, if we can deduce that "rare" must be present for
the overall qual to be true, we can scan all the rare items, and for each
rare item, skip over to the next frequent item with the same or greater TID.
That greatly speeds up "rare & frequent" type queries.
To implement that, introduce the concept of a tri-state consistent function,
where the 3rd value is MAYBE, indicating that we don't know if that term is
present. Operator classes only provide a boolean consistent function, so we
simulate the tri-state consistent function by calling the boolean function
several times, with the MAYBE arguments set to all combinations of TRUE and
FALSE. Testing all combinations is only feasible for a small number of MAYBE
arguments, but it is envisioned that we'll provide a way for operator
classes to provide a native tri-state consistent function, which can be much
more efficient. But that is not included in this patch.
We were already using that trick to for lossy pages, calling the consistent
function with the lossy entry set to TRUE and FALSE. Now that we have the
tri-state consistent function, use it for lossy pages too.
Alexander Korotkov, with fair amount of refactoring by me.

When skipping over some items in a posting tree, re-find the new location

If we're skipping past a certain TID, avoid decoding posting list segments
that only contain smaller TIDs.
Extracted from Alexander Korotkov's fast scan patch, heavily modified.
|
|
In a multi-key search, ie. something like "col @> 'foo' AND col @> 'bar'",
as soon as we find the next item that matches the first criteria, we don't
need to check the second criteria for TIDs smaller the first match. That
saves a lot of effort, especially if one of the terms is rare, while the
second occurs very frequently.
Based on ideas from Alexander Korotkov's fast scan patch.

The maxoff field is not used in the new, compressed page format. Let's
