Per recommendation from Andres.
2014-07-21Defend against bad relfrozenxid/relminmxid/datfrozenxid/datminmxid values.Tom Lane
In commit a61daa14d56867e90dc011bbba52ef771cea6770, we fixed pg_upgrade so that it would install sane relminmxid and datminmxid values, but that does not cure the problem for installations that were already pg_upgraded to 9.3; they'll initially have "1" in those fields. This is not a big problem so long as 1 is "in the past" compared to the current nextMultiXact counter. But if an installation were more than halfway to the MXID wrap point at the time of upgrade, 1 would appear to be "in the future" and that would effectively disable tracking of oldest MXIDs in those tables/databases, until such time as the counter wrapped around. While in itself this isn't worse than the situation pre-9.3, where we did not manage MXID wraparound risk at all, the consequences of premature truncation of pg_multixact are worse now; so we ought to make some effort to cope with this. We discussed advising users to fix the tracking values manually, but that seems both very tedious and very error-prone. Instead, this patch adopts two amelioration rules. First, a relminmxid value that is "in the future" is allowed to be overwritten with a full-table VACUUM's actual freeze cutoff, ignoring the normal rule that relminmxid should never go backwards. (This essentially assumes that we have enough defenses in place that wraparound can never occur anymore, and thus that a value "in the future" must be corrupt.) Second, if we see any "in the future" values then we refrain from truncating pg_clog and pg_multixact. This prevents loss of clog data until we have cleaned up all the broken tracking data. In the worst case that could result in considerable clog bloat, but in practice we expect that relfrozenxid-driven freezing will happen soon enough to fix the problem before clog bloat becomes intolerable. (Users could do manual VACUUM FREEZEs if not.) Note that this mechanism cannot save us if there are already-wrapped or already-truncated-away MXIDs in the table; it's only capable of dealing with corrupt tracking values. But that's the situation we have with the pg_upgrade bug. For consistency, apply the same rules to relfrozenxid/datfrozenxid. There are not known mechanisms for these to get messed up, but if they were, the same tactics seem appropriate for fixing them.

2014-07-19Partial fix for dropped columns in functions returning composite.Tom Lane
When a view has a function-returning-composite in FROM, and there are some dropped columns in the underlying composite type, ruleutils.c printed junk in the column alias list for the reconstructed FROM entry. Before 9.3, this was prevented by doing get_rte_attribute_is_dropped tests while printing the column alias list; but that solution is not currently available to us for reasons I'll explain below. Instead, check for empty-string entries in the alias list, which can only exist if that column position had been dropped at the time the view was made. (The parser fills in empty strings to preserve the invariant that the aliases correspond to physical column positions.) While this is sufficient to handle the case of columns dropped before the view was made, we have still got issues with columns dropped after the view was made. In particular, the view could contain Vars that explicitly reference such columns! The dependency machinery really ought to refuse the column drop attempt in such cases, as it would do when trying to drop a table column that's explicitly referenced in views. However, we currently neglect to store dependencies on columns of composite types, and fixing that is likely to be too big to be back-patchable (not to mention that existing views in existing databases would not have the needed pg_depend entries anyway). So I'll leave that for a separate patch. Pre-9.3, ruleutils would print such Vars normally (with their original column names) even though it suppressed their entries in the RTE's column alias list. This is certainly bogus, since the printed view definition would fail to reload, but at least it didn't crash. However, as of 9.3 the printed column alias list is tightly tied to the names printed for Vars; so we can't treat columns as dropped for one purpose and not dropped for the other. This is why we can't just put back the get_rte_attribute_is_dropped test: it results in an assertion failure if the view in fact contains any Vars referencing the dropped column. Once we've got dependencies preventing such cases, we'll probably want to do it that way instead of relying on the empty-string test used here. This fix turned up a very ancient bug in outfuncs/readfuncs, namely that T_String nodes containing empty strings were not dumped/reloaded correctly: the node was printed as "<>" which is read as a string value of <>. Since (per SQL) we disallow empty-string identifiers, such nodes don't occur normally, which is why we'd not noticed. (Such nodes aren't used for literal constants, just identifiers.) Per report from Marc Schablewski. Back-patch to 9.3 which is where the rule printing behavior changed. The dangling-variable case is broken all the way back, but that's not what his complaint is about.
2014-07-18Fix two low-probability memory leaks in regular expression parsing.Tom Lane
If pg_regcomp failed after having invoked markst/cleanst, it would leak any "struct subre" nodes it had created. (We've already detected all regex syntax errors at that point, so the only likely causes of later failure would be query cancel or out-of-memory.) To fix, make sure freesrnode knows the difference between the pre-cleanst and post-cleanst cleanup procedures. Add some documentation of this less-than-obvious point. Also, newlacon did the wrong thing with an out-of-memory failure from realloc(), so that the previously allocated array would be leaked. Both of these are pretty low-probability scenarios, but a bug is a bug, so patch all the way back. Per bug #10976 from Arthur O'Dwyer.
2014-07-16Fix bugs in SP-GiST search with range type's -|- (adjacent) operator.Heikki Linnakangas
The consistent function contained several bugs: * The "if (which2) { ... }" block was broken. It compared the argument's lower bound against centroid's upper bound, while it was supposed to compare the argument's upper bound against the centroid's lower bound (the comment was correct, code was wrong). Also, it cleared bits in the "which1" variable, while it was supposed to clear bits in "which2". * If the argument's upper bound was equal to the centroid's lower bound, we descended to both halves (= all quadrants). That's unnecessary, searching the right quadrants is sufficient. This didn't lead to incorrect query results, but was clearly wrong, and slowed down queries unnecessarily. * In the case that argument's lower bound is adjacent to the centroid's upper bound, we also don't need to visit all quadrants. Per similar reasoning as previous point. * The code where we compare the previous centroid with the current centroid should match the code where we compare the current centroid with the argument. The point of that code is to redo the calculation done in the previous level, to see if we were supposed to traverse left or right (or up or down), and if we actually did. If we moved in the different direction, then we know there are no matches for bound. Refactor the code and adds comments to make it more readable and easier to reason about. Backpatch to 9.3 where SP-GiST support for range types was introduced.
2014-07-15pg_basebackup: Add more information about --max-rate option to help outputPeter Eisentraut
It was previously not clear what unit the option argument should have.
2014-07-15json_build_object and json_build_array are stable, not immutable.Andrew Dunstan
These functions indirectly invoke output functions, so they can't be immutable. Backpatch to 9.4 where they were introduced. Catalog version bumped.
2014-07-15Fix REASSIGN OWNED for text search objectsAlvaro Herrera
Trying to reassign objects owned by a user that had text search dictionaries or configurations used to fail with: ERROR: unexpected classid 3600 or ERROR: unexpected classid 3602 Fix by adding cases for those object types in a switch in pg_shdepend.c. Both REASSIGN OWNED and text search objects go back all the way to 8.1, so backpatch to all supported branches. In 9.3 the alter-owner code was made generic, so the required change in recent branches is pretty simple; however, for 9.2 and older ones we need some additional reshuffling to enable specifying objects by OID rather than name. Text search templates and parsers are not owned objects, so there's no change required for them. Per bug #9749 reported by Michal Novotný
2014-07-15Detect presence of SSL_get_current_compressionMagnus Hagander
Apparently we still build against OpenSSL so old that it doesn't have this function, so add an autoconf check for it to make the buildfarm happy. If the function doesn't exist, always return that compression is disabled, since presumably the actual compression functionality is always missing. For now, hardcode the function as present on MSVC, since we should hopefully be well beyond those old versions on that platform.
2014-07-15Add missing source files to nls.mkPeter Eisentraut
These are files under common/ that have been moved around. Updating these manually is not satisfactory, but it's the only solution at the moment.
2014-07-15Include SSL compression status in psql banner and connection loggingMagnus Hagander
Both the psql banner and the connection logging already included SSL status, cipher and bitlength, this adds the information about compression being on or off.
2014-07-15Add missing serial commasPeter Eisentraut

2014-07-14Prevent bitmap heap scans from showing unnecessary block info in EXPLAIN ↵Fujii Masao
ANALYZE. EXPLAIN ANALYZE shows the information of the numbers of exact/lossy blocks which bitmap heap scan processes. But, previously, when those numbers were both zero, it displayed only the prefix "Heap Blocks:" in TEXT output format. This is strange and would confuse the users. So this commit suppresses such unnecessary information. Backpatch to 9.4 where EXPLAIN ANALYZE was changed so that such information was displayed. Etsuro Fujita
2014-07-12Fix decoding of consecutive MULTI_INSERTs emitted by one heap_multi_insert().Andres Freund
Commit 1b86c81d2d fixed the decoding of toasted columns for the rows contained in one xl_heap_multi_insert record. But that's not actually enough, because heap_multi_insert() will actually first toast all passed in rows and then emit several *_multi_insert records; one for each page it fills with tuples. Add a XLOG_HEAP_LAST_MULTI_INSERT flag which is set in xl_heap_multi_insert->flag denoting that this multi_insert record is the last emitted by one heap_multi_insert() call. Then use that flag in decode.c to only set clear_toast_afterwards in the right situation. Expand the number of rows inserted via COPY in the corresponding regression test to make sure that more than one heap page is filled with tuples by one heap_multi_insert() call. Backpatch to 9.4 like the previous commit.
2014-07-12Add autocompletion of locale keywords for CREATE DATABASEMagnus Hagander
Adds support for autocomplete of LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE to the CREATE DATABASE command in psql.
2014-07-11Fix bug with whole-row references to append subplans.Tom Lane
ExecEvalWholeRowVar incorrectly supposed that it could "bless" the source TupleTableSlot just once per query. But if the input is coming from an Append (or, perhaps, other cases?) more than one slot might be returned over the query run. This led to "record type has not been registered" errors when a composite datum was extracted from a non-blessed slot. This bug has been there a long time; I guess it escaped notice because when dealing with subqueries the planner tends to expand whole-row Vars into RowExprs, which don't have the same problem. It is possible to trigger the problem in all active branches, though, as illustrated by the added regression test.
2014-07-09Rename logical decoding's pg_llog directory to pg_logical.Andres Freund
The old name wasn't very descriptive as of actual contents of the directory, which are historical snapshots in the snapshots/ subdirectory and mappingdata for rewritten tuples in mappings/. There's been a fair amount of discussion what would be a good name. I'm settling for pg_logical because it's likely that further data around logical decoding and replication will need saving in the future. Also add the missing entry for the directory into storage.sgml's list of PGDATA contents. Bumps catversion as the data directories won't be compatible. Backpatch to 9.4, which I missed to do as Michael Paquier luckily noticed. As there already has been a catversion bump after 9.4beta1, there's no reasons for having 9.4 diverge from master.
2014-07-08Don't assume a subquery's output is unique if there's a SRF in its tlist.Tom Lane
While the x output of "select x from t group by x" can be presumed unique, this does not hold for "select x, generate_series(1,10) from t group by x", because we may expand the set-returning function after the grouping step. (Perhaps that should be re-thought; but considering all the other oddities involved with SRFs in targetlists, it seems unlikely we'll change it.) Put a check in query_is_distinct_for() so it's not fooled by such cases. Back-patch to all supported branches. David Rowley
2014-07-06Fix decoding of MULTI_INSERTs when rows other than the last are toasted.Andres Freund
When decoding the results of a HEAP2_MULTI_INSERT (currently only generated by COPY FROM) toast columns for all but the last tuple weren't replaced by their actual contents before being handed to the output plugin. The reassembled toast datums where disregarded after every REORDER_BUFFER_CHANGE_(INSERT|UPDATE|DELETE) which is correct for plain inserts, updates, deletes, but not multi inserts - there we generate several REORDER_BUFFER_CHANGE_INSERTs for a single xl_heap_multi_insert record. To solve the problem add a clear_toast_afterwards boolean to ReorderBufferChange's union member that's used by modifications. All row changes but multi_inserts always set that to true, but multi_insert sets it only for the last change generated. Add a regression test covering decoding of multi_inserts - there was none at all before. Backpatch to 9.4 where logical decoding was introduced. Bug found by Petr Jelinek.
2014-07-06Consistently pass an "unsigned char" to ctype.h functions.Noah Misch
The isxdigit() calls relied on undefined behavior. The isascii() call was well-defined, but our prevailing style is to include the cast. Back-patch to 9.4, where the isxdigit() calls were introduced.
2014-07-03Don't cache per-group context across the whole query in orderedsetaggs.c.Tom Lane
Although nodeAgg.c currently uses the same per-group memory context for all groups of a query, that might change in future. Avoid assuming it. This costs us an extra AggCheckCallContext() call per group, but that's pretty cheap and is probably good from a safety standpoint anyway. Back-patch to 9.4 in case any third-party code copies this logic. Andrew Gierth
2014-07-03Redesign API presented by nodeAgg.c for ordered-set and similar aggregates.Tom Lane
The previous design exposed the input and output ExprContexts of the Agg plan node, but work on grouping sets has suggested that we'll regret doing that. Instead provide more narrowly-defined APIs that can be implemented in multiple ways, namely a way to get a short-term memory context and a way to register an aggregate shutdown callback. Back-patch to 9.4 where the bad APIs were introduced, since we don't want third-party code using these APIs and then having to change in 9.5. Andrew Gierth
2014-07-02Use a separate temporary directory for the Unix-domain socketPeter Eisentraut
Creating the Unix-domain socket in the build directory can run into name-length limitations. Therefore, create the socket file in the default temporary directory of the operating system. Keep the temporary data directory etc. in the build tree.
2014-07-02Support vpath builds in TAP testsPeter Eisentraut
2014-07-02Smooth reporting of commit/rollback statistics.Kevin Grittner
If a connection committed or rolled back any transactions within a PGSTAT_STAT_INTERVAL pacing interval without accessing any tables, the reporting of those statistics would be held up until the connection closed or until it ended a PGSTAT_STAT_INTERVAL interval in which it had accessed a table. This could result in under- reporting of transactions for an extended period, followed by a spike in reported transactions. While this is arguably a bug, the impact is minimal, primarily affecting, and being affected by, monitoring software. It might cause more confusion than benefit to change the existing behavior in released stable branches, so apply only to master and the 9.4 beta. Gurjeet Singh, with review and editing by Kevin Grittner, incorporating suggested changes from Abhijit Menon-Sen and Tom Lane.
2014-07-02pg_upgrade: preserve database and relation minmxid valuesBruce Momjian
Also set these values for pre-9.3 old clusters that don't have values to preserve. Analysis by Alvaro Backpatch through 9.3
2014-07-02Add some errdetail to checkRuleResultList().Tom Lane
This function wasn't originally thought to be really user-facing, because converting a table to a view isn't something we expect people to do manually. So not all that much effort was spent on the error messages; in particular, while the code will complain that you got the column types wrong it won't say exactly what they are. But since we repurposed the code to also check compatibility of rule RETURNING lists, it's definitely user-facing. It now seems worthwhile to add errdetail messages showing exactly what the conflict is when there's a mismatch of column names or types. This is prompted by bug #10836 from Matthias Raffelsieper, which might have been forestalled if the error message had reported the wrong column type as being "record". Back-patch to 9.4, but not into older branches where the set of translatable error strings is supposed to be stable.
2014-07-02Prevent psql from issuing BEGIN before ALTER SYSTEM when AUTOCOMMIT is off.Fujii Masao
The autocommit-off mode works by issuing an implicit BEGIN just before any command that is not already in a transaction block and is not itself a BEGIN or other transaction-control command, nor a command that cannot be executed inside a transaction block. This commit prevents psql from issuing such an implicit BEGIN before ALTER SYSTEM because it's not allowed inside a transaction block. Backpatch to 9.4 where ALTER SYSTEM was added. Report by Feike Steenbergen
2014-06-30Check interrupts during logical decoding more frequently.Andres Freund
When reading large amounts of preexisting WAL during logical decoding using the SQL interface we possibly could fail to check interrupts in due time. Similarly the same could happen on systems with a very high WAL volume while creating a new logical replication slot, independent of the used interface. Previously these checks where only performed in xlogreader's read_page callbacks, while waiting for new WAL to be produced. That's not sufficient though, if there's never a need to wait. Walsender's send loop already contains a interrupt check. Backpatch to 9.4 where the logical decoding feature was introduced.
2014-06-30Revert the assertion of no palloc's in critical section.Heikki Linnakangas
Per discussion, it still fires too often to be safe to enable in production. Keep it in master, so that we find the issues, but disable it in the stable branch.
2014-06-29Remove use_json_as_text options from json_to_record/json_populate_record.Tom Lane
The "false" case was really quite useless since all it did was to throw an error; a definition not helped in the least by making it the default. Instead let's just have the "true" case, which emits nested objects and arrays in JSON syntax. We might later want to provide the ability to emit sub-objects in Postgres record or array syntax, but we'd be best off to drive that off a check of the target field datatype, not a separate argument. For the functions newly added in 9.4, we can just remove the flag arguments outright. We can't do that for json_populate_record[set], which already existed in 9.3, but we can ignore the argument and always behave as if it were "true". It helps that the flag arguments were optional and not documented in any useful fashion anyway.
2014-06-27Have multixact be truncated by checkpoint, not vacuumAlvaro Herrera
Instead of truncating pg_multixact at vacuum time, do it only at checkpoint time. The reason for doing it this way is twofold: first, we want it to delete only segments that we're certain will not be required if there's a crash immediately after the removal; and second, we want to do it relatively often so that older files are not left behind if there's an untimely crash. Per my proposal in http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20140626044519.GJ7340@eldon.alvh.no-ip.org we now execute the truncation in the checkpointer process rather than as part of vacuum. Vacuum is in only charge of maintaining in shared memory the value to which it's possible to truncate the files; that value is stored as part of checkpoints also, and so upon recovery we can reuse the same value to re-execute truncate and reset the oldest-value-still-safe-to-use to one known to remain after truncation. Per bug reported by Jeff Janes in the course of his tests involving bug #8673. While at it, update some comments that hadn't been updated since multixacts were changed. Backpatch to 9.3, where persistency of pg_multixact files was introduced by commit 0ac5ad5134f2.
2014-06-27Don't allow relminmxid to go backwards during VACUUM FULLAlvaro Herrera
We were allowing a table's pg_class.relminmxid value to move backwards when heaps were swapped by VACUUM FULL or CLUSTER. There is a similar protection against relfrozenxid going backwards, which we neglected to clone when the multixact stuff was rejiggered by commit 0ac5ad5134f276. Backpatch to 9.3, where relminmxid was introduced. As reported by Heikki in http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/52401AEA.9000608@vmware.com
2014-06-27Fix broken Assert() introduced by 8e9a16ab8f7f0e58Alvaro Herrera
Don't assert MultiXactIdIsRunning if the multi came from a tuple that had been share-locked and later copied over to the new cluster by pg_upgrade. Doing that causes an error to be raised unnecessarily: MultiXactIdIsRunning is not open to the possibility that its argument came from a pg_upgraded tuple, and all its other callers are already checking; but such multis cannot, obviously, have transactions still running, so the assert is pointless. Noticed while investigating the bogus pg_multixact/offsets/0000 file left over by pg_upgrade, as reported by Andres Freund in http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20140530121631.GE25431@alap3.anarazel.de Backpatch to 9.3, as the commit that introduced the buglet.
2014-06-27Disallow pushing volatile qual expressions down into DISTINCT subqueries.Tom Lane
A WHERE clause applied to the output of a subquery with DISTINCT should theoretically be applied only once per distinct row; but if we push it into the subquery then it will be evaluated at each row before duplicate elimination occurs. If the qual is volatile this can give rise to observably wrong results, so don't do that. While at it, refactor a little bit to allow subquery_is_pushdown_safe to report more than one kind of restrictive condition without indefinitely expanding its argument list. Although this is a bug fix, it seems unwise to back-patch it into released branches, since it might de-optimize plans for queries that aren't giving any trouble in practice. So apply to 9.4 but not further back.
2014-06-26Get rid of bogus separate pg_proc entries for json_extract_path operators.Tom Lane
These should not have existed to begin with, but there was apparently some misunderstanding of the purpose of the opr_sanity regression test item that checks for operator implementation functions with their own comments. The idea there is to check for unintentional violations of the rule that operator implementation functions shouldn't be documented separately .... but for these functions, that is in fact what we want, since the variadic option is useful and not accessible via the operator syntax. Get rid of the extra pg_proc entries and fix the regression test and documentation to be explicit about what we're doing here.
2014-06-26Forward-patch regression test for "could not find pathkey item to sort".Tom Lane
Commit a87c729153e372f3731689a7be007bc2b53f1410 already fixed the bug this is checking for, but the regression test case it added didn't cover this scenario. Since we managed to miss the fact that there was a bug at all, it seems like a good idea to propagate the extra test case forward to HEAD.
2014-06-25Rationalize error messages within jsonfuncs.c.Tom Lane
I noticed that the functions in jsonfuncs.c sometimes printed error messages that claimed I'd called some other function. Investigation showed that this was from repurposing code into "worker" functions without taking much care as to whether it would mention the right SQL-level function if it threw an error. Moreover, there was a weird mismash of messages that contained a fixed function name, messages that used %s for a function name, and messages that constructed a function name out of spare parts, like "json%s_populate_record" (which, quite aside from being ugly as sin, wasn't even sufficient to cover all the cases). This would put an undue burden on our long-suffering translators. Standardize on inserting the SQL function name with %s so as to reduce the number of translatable strings, and pass function names around as needed to make sure we can report the right one. Fix up some gratuitous variations in wording, too.
2014-06-25Cosmetic improvements in jsonfuncs.c.Tom Lane
Re-pgindent, remove a lot of random vertical whitespace, remove useless (if not counterproductive) inline markings, get rid of unnecessary zero-padding of strings for hashtable searches. No functional changes.
2014-06-24Fix handling of nested JSON objects in json_populate_recordset and friends.Tom Lane
populate_recordset_object_start() improperly created a new hash table (overwriting the link to the existing one) if called at nest levels greater than one. This resulted in previous fields not appearing in the final output, as reported by Matti Hameister in bug #10728. In 9.4 the problem also affects json_to_recordset. This perhaps missed detection earlier because the default behavior is to throw an error for nested objects: you have to pass use_json_as_text = true to see the problem. In addition, fix query-lifespan leakage of the hashtable created by json_populate_record(). This is pretty much the same problem recently fixed in dblink: creating an intended-to-be-temporary context underneath the executor's per-tuple context isn't enough to make it go away at the end of the tuple cycle, because MemoryContextReset is not MemoryContextResetAndDeleteChildren. Michael Paquier and Tom Lane
2014-06-24Don't allow foreign tables with OIDs.Heikki Linnakangas
The syntax doesn't let you specify "WITH OIDS" for foreign tables, but it was still possible with default_with_oids=true. But the rest of the system, including pg_dump, isn't prepared to handle foreign tables with OIDs properly. Backpatch down to 9.1, where foreign tables were introduced. It's possible that there are databases out there that already have foreign tables with OIDs. There isn't much we can do about that, but at least we can prevent them from being created in the future. Patch by Etsuro Fujita, reviewed by Hadi Moshayedi.
2014-06-20Do all-visible handling in lazy_vacuum_page() outside its critical section.Andres Freund
Since fdf9e21196a lazy_vacuum_page() rechecks the all-visible status of pages in the second pass over the heap. It does so inside a critical section, but both visibilitymap_test() and heap_page_is_all_visible() perform operations that should not happen inside one. The former potentially performs IO and both potentially do memory allocations. To fix, simply move all the all-visible handling outside the critical section. Doing so means that the PD_ALL_VISIBLE on the page won't be included in the full page image of the HEAP2_CLEAN record anymore. But that's fine, the flag will be set by the HEAP2_VISIBLE logged later. Backpatch to 9.3 where the problem was introduced. The bug only came to light due to the assertion added in 4a170ee9 and isn't likely to cause problems in production scenarios. The worst outcome is a avoidable PANIC restart. This also gets rid of the difference in the order of operations between master and standby mentioned in 2a8e1ac5. Per reports from David Leverton and Keith Fiske in bug #10533.
2014-06-19Avoid leaking memory while evaluating arguments for a table function.Tom Lane
ExecMakeTableFunctionResult evaluated the arguments for a function-in-FROM in the query-lifespan memory context. This is insignificant in simple cases where the function relation is scanned only once; but if the function is in a sub-SELECT or is on the inside of a nested loop, any memory consumed during argument evaluation can add up quickly. (The potential for trouble here had been foreseen long ago, per existing comments; but we'd not previously seen a complaint from the field about it.) To fix, create an additional temporary context just for this purpose. Per an example from MauMau. Back-patch to all active branches.
2014-06-19Fix calculation of PREDICATELOCK_MANAGER_LWLOCK_OFFSET.Kevin Grittner
Commit ea9df812d8502fff74e7bc37d61bdc7d66d77a7f failed to include NUM_BUFFER_PARTITIONS in this offset, resulting in a bad offset. Ultimately this threw off NUM_FIXED_LWLOCKS which is based on earlier offsets, leading to memory allocation problems. It seems likely to have also caused increased LWLOCK contention when serializable transactions were used, because lightweight locks used for that overlapped others. Reported by Amit Kapila with analysis and fix. Backpatch to 9.4, where the bug was introduced.
2014-06-19Don't allow data_directory to be set in postgresql.auto.conf by ALTER SYSTEM.Fujii Masao
data_directory could be set both in postgresql.conf and postgresql.auto.conf so far. This could cause some problematic situations like circular definition. To avoid such situations, this commit forbids a user to set data_directory in postgresql.auto.conf. Backpatch this to 9.4 where ALTER SYSTEM command was introduced. Amit Kapila, reviewed by Abhijit Menon-Sen, with minor adjustments by me.
2014-06-18Remove unnecessary check for jbvBinary in convertJsonbValue.Andrew Dunstan
The check was confusing and is a condition that should never in fact happen. Per gripe from Dmitry Dolgov.
