2024-07-20Correctly check updatability of columns targeted by INSERT...DEFAULT.Tom Lane
If a view has some updatable and some non-updatable columns, we failed to verify updatability of any columns for which an INSERT or UPDATE on the view explicitly specifies a DEFAULT item (unless the view has a declared default for that column, which is rare anyway, and one would almost certainly not write one for a non-updatable column). This would lead to an unexpected "attribute number N not found in view targetlist" error rather than the intended error. Per bug #18546 from Alexander Lakhin. This bug is old, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/18546-84a292e759a9361d@postgresql.org

2024-07-19Test that vacuum removes tuples older than OldestXminMelanie Plageman
If vacuum fails to prune a tuple killed before OldestXmin, it will later find that tuple dead in lazy_scan_prune() and loop infinitely. Add a test reproducing this scenario to the recovery suite which creates a table on a primary, updates the table to generate dead tuples for vacuum, and then, during the vacuum, uses a replica to force GlobalVisState->maybe_needed on the primary to move backwards and precede the value of OldestXmin set at the beginning of vacuuming the table. This commit is separate from the fix in case there are test stability issues.

2024-07-19Ensure vacuum removes all visibly dead tuples older than OldestXminMelanie Plageman
If vacuum fails to remove a tuple with xmax older than VacuumCutoffs->OldestXmin and younger than GlobalVisState->maybe_needed, it will loop infinitely in lazy_scan_prune(), which compares tuples' visibility information to OldestXmin. Starting in version 14, which uses GlobalVisState for visibility testing during pruning, it is possible for GlobalVisState->maybe_needed to precede OldestXmin if maybe_needed is forced to go backward while vacuum is running. This can happen if a disconnected standby with a running transaction older than VacuumCutoffs->OldestXmin reconnects to the primary after vacuum initially calculates GlobalVisState and OldestXmin. Fix this by having vacuum always remove tuples older than OldestXmin during pruning. This is okay because the standby won't replay the tuple removal until the tuple is removable. Thus, the worst that can happen is a recovery conflict.

2024-07-19Propagate query IDs of utility statements in functionsMichael Paquier
For utility statements defined within a function, the query tree is copied to a PlannedStmt as utility commands do not require planning. However, the query ID was missing from the information passed down. This leads to plugins relying on the query ID like pg_stat_statements to not be able to track utility statements within function calls. Tests are added to check this behavior, depending on pg_stat_statements.track. This is an old bug. Now, query IDs for utilities are compiled using their parsed trees rather than the query string since v16 (3db72ebcbe20), leading to less bloat with utilities, so backpatch down only to this version.

2024-07-14Avoid unhelpful internal error for incorrect recursive-WITH queries.Tom Lane
checkWellFormedRecursion would issue "missing recursive reference" if a WITH RECURSIVE query contained a single self-reference but that self-reference was inside a top-level WITH, ORDER BY, LIMIT, etc, rather than inside the second arm of the UNION as expected. We already intended to throw more-on-point errors for such cases, but those error checks must be done before examining the UNION arm in order to have the desired results.

2024-07-13Don't lose partitioned table reltuples=0 after relhassubclass=f.Noah Misch
ANALYZE sets relhassubclass=f when a partitioned table no longer has partitions. An ANALYZE doing that proceeded to apply the inplace update of pg_class.reltuples to the old pg_class tuple instead of the new tuple, losing that reltuples=0 change if the ANALYZE committed. Non-partitioning inheritance trees were unaffected. Back-patch to v14, where commit 375aed36ad83f0e021e9bdd3a0034c0c992c66dc introduced maintenance of partitioned table pg_class.reltuples.

2024-07-13Fix lost Windows socket EOF events.Thomas Munro
Winsock only signals an FD_CLOSE event once if the other end of the socket shuts down gracefully. Because each WaitLatchOrSocket() call constructs and destroys a new event handle every time, with unlucky timing we can lose it and hang. We get away with this only if the other end disconnects non-gracefully, because FD_CLOSE is repeatedly signaled in that case. To fix this design flaw in our Windows socket support fundamentally, we'd probably need to rearchitect it so that a single event handle exists for the lifetime of a socket, or switch to completely different multiplexing or async I/O APIs. That's going to be a bigger job and probably wouldn't be back-patchable. This brute force kludge closes the race by explicitly polling with MSG_PEEK before sleeping. Back-patch to all supported releases. This should hopefully clear up some random build farm and CI hang failures reported over the years. It might also allow us to try using graceful shutdown in more places again (reverted in commit 29992a6) to fix instability in the transmission of FATAL error messages, but that isn't done by this commit.

2024-07-12Fix ALTER TABLE DETACH for inconsistent indexesAlvaro Herrera
When a partitioned table has an index that doesn't support a constraint, but a partition has an equivalent index that does, then a DETACH operation would misbehave: a crash in assertion-enabled systems (because we fail to find the constraint in the parent that we expect to), or a broken coninhcount value (-1) in production systems (because we blindly believe that we've successfully detached the parent). While we should reject an ATTACH of a partition with such an index, we have failed to do so in existing releases, so adding an error in stable releases might break the (unlikely) existing applications that rely on this behavior. At this point I don't even want to reject them in master, because it'd break pg_upgrade if such databases exist, and there would be no easy way to fix existing databases without expensive index rebuilds. (Later on we could add ALTER TABLE ... ADD CONSTRAINT USING INDEX to partitioned tables, which would allow the user to fix such patterns. At that point we could add more restrictions to prevent the problem from its root.) Also, add a test case that leaves one table in this condition, so that we can verify that pg_upgrade continues to work if we later decide to change the policy on the master branch.

2024-07-11Fix possibility of logical decoding partial transaction changes.Masahiko Sawada
When creating and initializing a logical slot, the restart_lsn is set to the latest WAL insertion point (or the latest replay point on standbys). Subsequently, WAL records are decoded from that point to find the start point for extracting changes in the DecodingContextFindStartpoint() function. Since the initial restart_lsn could be in the middle of a transaction, the start point must be a consistent point where we won't see the data for partial transactions. Previously, when not building a full snapshot, serialized snapshots were restored, and the SnapBuild jumps to the consistent state even while finding the start point. Consequently, the slot's restart_lsn and confirmed_flush could be set to the middle of a transaction. This could lead to various unexpected consequences. Specifically, there were reports of logical decoding decoding partial transactions, and assertion failures occurred because only subtransactions were decoded without decoding their top-level transaction until decoding the commit record. To resolve this issue, the changes prevent restoring the serialized snapshot and jumping to the consistent state while finding the start point. On v17 and HEAD, a flag indicating whether snapshot restores should be skipped has been added to the SnapBuild struct, and SNAPBUILD_VERSION has been bumpded. On backbranches, the flag is stored in the LogicalDecodingContext instead, preserving on-disk compatibility. Backpatch to all supported versions.

2024-07-10Make our back branches compatible with libxml2 2.13.x.Tom Lane
This back-patches HEAD commits 066e8ac6e, 6082b3d5d, e7192486d, and 896cd266f into supported branches. Changes: * Use xmlAddChildList not xmlAddChild in XMLSERIALIZE (affects v16 and up only). This was a flat-out coding mistake that we got away with due to lax checking in previous versions of xmlAddChild. * Use xmlParseInNodeContext not xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory. This is to dodge a bug in xmlParseBalancedChunkMemory in libxm2 releases 2.13.0-2.13.2. While that bug is now fixed upstream and will probably never be seen in any production-oriented distro, it is currently a problem on some more-bleeding-edge-friendly platforms. * Suppress "chunk is not well balanced" errors from libxml2, unless it is the only error. This eliminates an error-reporting discrepancy between 2.13 and older releases. This error is almost always redundant with previous errors, if not flat-out inappropriate, which is why 2.13 changed the behavior and why nobody's likely to miss it.

2024-07-08Fix scale clamping in numeric round() and trunc().Dean Rasheed

2024-07-08Fix right-anti-joins when the inner relation is proven uniqueRichard Guo
For an inner_unique join, we always assume that the executor will stop scanning for matches after the first match. Therefore, for a mergejoin that is inner_unique and whose mergeclauses are sufficient to identify a match, we set the skip_mark_restore flag to true, indicating that the executor need not do mark/restore calls. However, merge-right-anti-join did not get this memo and continues scanning the inner side for matches after the first match. If there are duplicates in the outer scan, we may incorrectly skip matching some inner tuples, which can lead to wrong results. Here we fix this issue by ensuring that merge-right-anti-join also advances to next outer tuple after the first match in inner_unique cases. This also saves cycles by avoiding unnecessary scanning of inner tuples after the first match. Although hash-right-anti-join does not suffer from this wrong results issue, we apply the same change to it as well, to help save cycles for the same reason. Per bug #18522 from Antti Lampinen, and bug #18526 from Feliphe Pozzer. Back-patch to v16 where right-anti-join was introduced.

2024-07-06Fix incorrect sentinel byte logic in GenerationRealloc()David Rowley
This only affects MEMORY_CONTEXT_CHECKING builds. This fixes an off-by-one issue in GenerationRealloc() where the fast-path code which tries to reuse the existing allocation if the existing chunk is >= the new requested size. The code there thought it was always ok to use the existing chunk, but when oldsize == size there isn't enough space to store the sentinel byte. If both sizes matched exactly set_sentinel() would overwrite the first byte beyond the chunk and then subsequent GenerationRealloc() calls could then fail the Assert(chunk->requested_size < oldsize) check which is trying to ensure the chunk is large enough to store the sentinel. The same issue does not exist in aset.c as the sentinel checking code only adds a sentinel byte if there's enough space in the chunk.

2024-07-06Cope with <regex.h> name clashes.Thomas Munro
macOS 15's SDK pulls in headers related to <regex.h> when we include <xlocale.h>. This causes our own regex_t implementation to clash with the OS's regex_t implementation. Luckily our function names already had pg_ prefixes, but the macros and typenames did not. Include <regex.h> explicitly on all POSIX systems, and fix everything that breaks. Then we can prove that we are capable of fully hiding and replacing the system regex API with our own. 1. Deal with standard-clobbering macros by undefining them all first. POSIX says they are "symbolic constants". If they are macros, this allows us to redefine them. If they are enums or variables, our macros will hide them. 2. Deal with standard-clobbering types by giving our types pg_ prefixes, and then using macros to redirect xxx_t -> pg_xxx_t. After including our "regex/regex.h", the system <regex.h> is hidden, because we've replaced all the standard names. The PostgreSQL source tree and extensions can continue to use standard prefix-less type and macro names, but reach our implementation, if they included our "regex/regex.h" header.

2024-07-01Preserve CurrentMemoryContext across notify and sinval interrupts.Tom Lane
ProcessIncomingNotify is called from the main processing loop that normally runs in MessageContext. That outer-loop code assumes that whatever it allocates will be cleaned up when we're done processing the current client message --- but if we service a notify interrupt, then whatever gets allocated before the next switch into MessageContext will be permanently leaked in TopMemoryContext, because CommitTransactionCommand sets CurrentMemoryContext to TopMemoryContext. There are observable leaks associated with (at least) encoding conversion of incoming queries and parameters attached to Bind messages. sinval catchup interrupts have a similar problem. There might be others, but I've not identified any other clear cases. To fix, take care to save and restore CurrentMemoryContext across the Start/CommitTransactionCommand calls in these functions.

2024-06-27Lock before setting relhassubclass on RELKIND_PARTITIONED_INDEX.Noah Misch
Commit 5b562644fec696977df4a82790064e8287927891 added a comment that SetRelationHasSubclass() callers must hold this lock. When commit 17f206fbc824d2b4b14480199ca9ff7dea417eda extended use of this column to partitioned indexes, it didn't take the lock. As the latter commit message mentioned, we currently never reset a partitioned index to relhassubclass=f. That largely avoids harm from the lock omission. The cause for fixing this now is to unblock introducing a rule about locks required to heap_update() a pg_class row. This might cause more deadlocks. It gives minor user-visible benefits: - If an ALTER INDEX SET TABLESPACE runs concurrently with ALTER TABLE ATTACH PARTITION or CREATE PARTITION OF, one transaction blocks instead of failing with "tuple concurrently updated". (Many cases of DDL concurrency still fail that way.) - Match ALTER INDEX ATTACH PARTITION in choosing to lock the index.

2024-06-27Avoid crashing when a JIT-inlined backend function throws an error.Tom Lane
errfinish() assumes that the __FUNC__ and __FILE__ arguments it's passed are compile-time constant strings that can just be pointed to rather than physically copied. However, it's possible for LLVM to generate code in which those pointers point into a dynamically loaded code segment. If that segment gets unloaded before we're done with the ErrorData struct, we have dangling pointers that will lead to SIGSEGV. In simple cases that won't happen, because we won't unload LLVM code before end of transaction. But it's possible to happen if the error is thrown within end-of-transaction code run by _SPI_commit or _SPI_rollback, because since commit 2e517818f those functions clean up by ending the transaction and starting a new one. Rather than fixing this by adding pstrdup() overhead to every elog/ereport sequence, let's fix it by copying the risky pointers in CopyErrorData(). That solves it for _SPI_commit/_SPI_rollback because they use that function to preserve the error data across the transaction end/restart sequence; and it seems likely that any other code doing something similar would need to do that too. I'm suspicious that this behavior amounts to an LLVM bug (or a bug in our use of it?), because it implies that string constant references that should be pointer-equal according to a naive understanding of C semantics will sometimes not be equal. However, even if it is a bug and someday gets fixed, we'll have to cope with the current behavior for a long time to come. Report and patch by me. Back-patch to all supported branches.

2024-06-27Fix MVCC bug with prepared xact with subxacts on standbyHeikki Linnakangas
We did not recover the subtransaction IDs of prepared transactions when starting a hot standby from a shutdown checkpoint. As a result, such subtransactions were considered as aborted, rather than in-progress. That would lead to hint bits being set incorrectly, and the subtransactions suddenly becoming visible to old snapshots when the prepared transaction was committed. To fix, update pg_subtrans with prepared transactions's subxids when starting hot standby from a shutdown checkpoint. The snapshots taken from that state need to be marked as "suboverflowed", so that we also check the pg_subtrans. Backport to all supported versions.

2024-06-27Fix overflow with pgstats DSA reference countMichael Paquier
When pgstats is initialized for a backend, it uses dsa_attach_in_place() without a "segment" provided. Hence, no callback is registered to automatically release the DSA attached once a backend exits. Not doing any cleanup causes the reference count of the pgstats DSA to continuously increment, at some point overflowing it (the more the number of connections, the faster it is to reach this state). Once the reference count overflows and then gets back to 0, new backends are not able to attach to the pgstats DSA, failing startup. This issue is resolved by adding in the pgstats shutdown hook a call to dsa_release_in_place(), ensuring that the DSA attached at backend startup is correctly released, keeping the reference count at bay. The author of this patch has been able to see this issue on a server with a long uptime and a high connection turnover. Issue introduced by 5891c7a8ed8f, so backpatch down to 15.

1. TruncateMultiXact() performs the SLRU truncations in a critical section. Deleting the SLRU segments calls ForwardSyncRequest(), which will try to compact the request queue if it's full (CompactCheckpointerRequestQueue()). That in turn allocates memory, which is not allowed in a critical section.

That covers the above call path, as well as any other similar cases where RegisterSyncRequest might be called in a critical section. 2. After fixing that, another problem became apparent: Autovacuum process doing that truncation can deadlock with the checkpointer process. TruncateMultiXact() sets "MyProc->delayChkptFlags |= DELAY_CHKPT_START". If the sync request queue is full and cannot be compacted, the process will repeatedly sleep and retry, until there is room in the queue. However, if the checkpointer is trying to start a checkpoint at the same time, and is waiting for the DELAY_CHKPT_START processes to finish, the queue will never shrink.

2024-06-24Fix partition pruning setup during DETACH CONCURRENTLYAlvaro Herrera
When detaching partition in concurrent mode, it's possible for partition descriptors to not match the set that was recently seen when the plan was made, causing an assertion failure or (in production builds) failure to construct a working plan. The case that was reported involves prepared statements, but I think it may be possible to hit this bug without that too. The problem is that CreatePartitionPruneState is constructing a PartitionPruneState under the assumption that new partitions can be added, but never removed, but it turns out that this isn't true: a prepared statement gets replanned when the DETACH CONCURRENTLY session sends out its invalidation message, but if the invalidation message arrives after ExecInitAppend started, we would build a partition descriptor without the partition, and then CreatePartitionPruneState would refuse to work with it. CreatePartitionPruneState already contains code to deal with the new descriptor having more partitions than before (and behaving for the extra partitions as if they had been pruned), but doesn't have code to deal with less partitions than before, and it is naïve about the case where the number of partitions is the same. We could simply add that a new stanza for less partitions than before, and in simple testing it works to do that; but it's possible to press the test scripts even further and hit the case where one partition is added and a partition is removed quickly enough that we see the same number of partitions, but they don't actually match, causing hangs during execution. To cope with both these problems, we now memcmp() the arrays of partition OIDs, and do a more elaborate mapping (relying on the fact that both OID arrays are in partition-bounds order) if they're not identical. Backpatch to 14, where DETACH CONCURRENTLY appeared.

2024-06-20Don't throw an error if a queued AFTER trigger no longer exists.Tom Lane
afterTriggerInvokeEvents and AfterTriggerExecute have always treated it as an error if the trigger OID mentioned in a queued after-trigger event can't be found. However, that fails to account for the edge case where the trigger's been dropped in the current transaction since queueing the event. There seems no very good reason to disallow that case, so instead silently do nothing if the trigger OID can't be found. This does give up a little bit of bug-detection ability, but I don't recall that these error messages have ever actually revealed a bug, so it seems mostly theoretical. Alternatives such as marking pending events DONE at the time of dropping a trigger would be complicated and perhaps introduce bugs of their own. Per bug #18517 from Alexander Lakhin.

2024-06-19Fix possible Assert failure in cost_memoize_rescanDavid Rowley
In cost_memoize_rescan(), when calculating the hit_ratio using the calls and ndistinct estimations, if the value that was set in MemoizePath.calls had not been processed through clamp_row_est(), then it was possible that it was set to some non-integer value which could result in ndistinct being 1 higher than calls due to estimate_num_groups() performing clamp_row_est() on its input_rows. This could result in hit_ratio values slightly below 0.0, which would cause an Assert failure. The value of MemoizePath.calls comes from the final parameter in the create_memoize_path() function, of which we only have one true caller of. That caller passes outer_path->rows. All the core code I looked at always seems to call clamp_row_est() on the Path.rows, so there might have been no issues with any core Paths causing troubles here. The bug report was about a CustomPath with a non-clamped row estimated. The misbehavior as a result of this seems to be mostly limited to the Assert() failing. Aside from that, it seems the Memoize costs would just come out slightly higher than they should have, which is likely fairly harmless.

2024-06-17Fix insertion of SP-GiST REDIRECT tuples during REINDEX CONCURRENTLY.Tom Lane
Reconstruction of an SP-GiST index by REINDEX CONCURRENTLY may insert some REDIRECT tuples. This will typically happen in a transaction that lacks an XID, which leads either to assertion failure in spgFormDeadTuple or to insertion of a REDIRECT tuple with zero xid. The latter's not good either, since eventually VACUUM will apply GlobalVisTestIsRemovableXid() to the zero xid, resulting in either an assertion failure or a garbage answer. In practice, since REINDEX CONCURRENTLY locks out index scans till it's done, it doesn't matter whether it inserts REDIRECTs or PLACEHOLDERs; and likewise it doesn't matter how soon VACUUM reduces such a REDIRECT to a PLACEHOLDER. So in non-assert builds there's no observable problem here, other than perhaps a little index bloat. But it's not behaving as intended. To fix, remove the failing Assert in spgFormDeadTuple, acknowledging that we might sometimes insert a zero XID; and guard VACUUM's GlobalVisTestIsRemovableXid() call with a test for valid XID, ensuring that we'll reduce such a REDIRECT the first time VACUUM sees it. (Versions before v14 use TransactionIdPrecedes here, which won't fail on zero xid, so they really have no bug at all in non-assert builds.) Another solution could be to not create REDIRECTs at all during REINDEX CONCURRENTLY, making the relevant code paths treat that case like index build (which likewise knows that no concurrent index scans can be happening). That would allow restoring the Assert in spgFormDeadTuple, but we'd still need the VACUUM change because redirection tuples with zero xid may be out there already. But there doesn't seem to be a nice way for spginsert() to tell that it's being called in REINDEX CONCURRENTLY without some API changes, so we'll leave that as a possible future improvement. In HEAD, also rename the SpGistState.myXid field to redirectXid, which seems less misleading (since it might not in fact be our transaction's XID) and is certainly less uninformatively generic.

2024-06-14Clean out column-level pg_init_privs entries when dropping tables.Tom Lane
DeleteInitPrivs did not get the memo about how, when dropping a whole object (with subid == 0), you should drop entries relating to its sub-objects too. This is visible in the test_pg_dump test case if one drops the extension at the end: the entry for GRANT SELECT(col1) ON regress_pg_dump_table TO public; was still present in pg_init_privs afterwards, although it was pointing to a dangling table OID. Noted while fooling with a fix for REASSIGN OWNED for pg_init_privs entries. This bug is aboriginal in the pg_init_privs feature though, and there seems no reason not to back-patch the fix.
2024-06-13Fix parsing of ignored operators in websearch_to_tsquery().Tom Lane
The manual says clearly that punctuation in the input of websearch_to_tsquery() is ignored, except for the special cases of dashes and quotes. However, this failed for cases like "(foo bar) or something", or in general an ISOPERATOR character in front of the "or". We'd switch back to WAITOPERAND state, then ignore the operator character while remaining in that state, and then reach the "or" in WAITOPERAND state which (intentionally) makes us treat it as data. The fix is simple enough: if we see an ISOPERATOR character while in WAITOPERATOR state, we have to skip it while staying in that state. (We don't need to worry about other punctuation characters: those will be consumed as though they were words, but then rejected by lexizing.) In v14 and up (since commit eb086056f) we can simplify the code a bit more too, because there is no longer a reason for the WAITOPERAND state to distinguish between quoted and unquoted operands.

2024-06-13When replanning a plpgsql "simple expression", check it's still simple.Tom Lane
The previous coding here assumed that we didn't need to recheck any of the querytree tests made in exec_simple_check_plan(). I think we supposed that those properties were fully determined by the syntax of the source text and hence couldn't change. That is true for most of them, but at least hasTargetSRFs and hasAggs can change by dint of forcibly dropping an originally-referenced function and recreating it with new properties. That leads to "unexpected plan node type" or similar failures. These tests are pretty cheap compared to the cost of replanning, so rather than sweat over exactly which properties need to be rechecked, let's just recheck them all. Hence, factor out those tests into a new function exec_is_simple_query(), and rearrange callers as needed. A second problem in the same area was that if we failed during replanning or during exec_save_simple_expr(), we'd potentially leave behind now-dangling pointers to the old simple expression, potentially resulting in crashes later. To fix, clear those pointers before replanning. The v12 code looks quite different in this area but still has the bug about needing to recheck query simplicity. I chose to back-patch all of the plpgsql_simple.sql test script, which formerly didn't exist in this branch. Per bug #18497 from Nikita Kalinin. Back-patch to all supported branches.
