2009-12-03Fix bug in temporary file management with subtransactions. A cursor openedHeikki Linnakangas
in a subtransaction stays open even if the subtransaction is aborted, so any temporary files related to it must stay alive as well. With the patch, we use ResourceOwners to track open temporary files and don't automatically close them at subtransaction end (though in the normal case temporary files are registered with the subtransaction resource owner and will therefore be closed). At end of top transaction, we still check that there's no temporary files marked as close-at-end-of-transaction open, but that's now just a debugging cross-check as the resource owner cleanup should've closed them already.
2009-12-02Ignore attempts to set "application_name" in the connection startup packet.Tom Lane
This avoids a useless connection retry and complaint in the postmaster log when receiving a connection from 8.5 or later libpq. Backpatch in all supported branches, but of course *not* HEAD.
2009-11-30Avoid core dump on empty thesaurus dictionary.Tom Lane
Per report from Robert Gravsjö.
2009-11-29Fix session-lifespan memory leak when a plperl function is redefined:Tom Lane
we have to tell Perl it can release its compiled copy of the function text. Noted by Alexey Klyukin. Back-patch to 8.2 --- the problem exists further back, but this patch won't work without modification, and it's probably not worth the trouble.
2009-11-27Remove */ characters from declare cursor statements before putting them into aMichael Meskes
comment.
2009-11-23Fix an old bug in multixact and two-phase commit. Prepared transactions canHeikki Linnakangas
be part of multixacts, so allocate a slot for each prepared transaction in the "oldest member" array in multixact.c. On PREPARE TRANSACTION, transfer the oldest member value from the current backends slot to the prepared xact slot. Also save and recover the value from the 2pc state file. The symptom of the bug was that after a transaction prepared, a shared lock still held by the prepared transaction was sometimes ignored by other transactions. Fix back to 8.1, where both 2PC and multixact were introduced.
2009-11-21Refactor ecpg grammar so that it uses the core grammar's unreserved_keywordTom Lane
list, minus a few specific words that have to be treated specially. This replaces a hard-wired list of keywords that would have needed manual maintenance, and was not getting it. The 8.4 coding was already missing these words, causing ecpg to incorrectly treat them as reserved words: CALLED, CATALOG, DEFINER, ENUM, FOLLOWING, INVOKER, OPTIONS, PARTITION, PRECEDING, RANGE, SECURITY, SERVER, UNBOUNDED, WRAPPER. In HEAD we were additionally missing COMMENTS, FUNCTIONS, SEQUENCES, TABLES. Per gripe from Bosco Rama.
2009-11-20Fix display and dumping of UPDATE OR TRUNCATE triggers (a bizarre combinationTom Lane
maybe, but we should get it right). Bug noted while reviewing TRIGGER WHEN patch. Already fixed in HEAD.
2009-11-19Typo: dump -> restorePeter Eisentraut
fixed in 8.4 and 8.5 Author: Guillaume Lelarge <guillaume@lelarge.info>
2009-11-19Fix memory leak in syslogger: logfile_rotate() would leak a copy of theTom Lane
output filename if CSV logging was enabled and only one of the two possible output files got rotated during a particular call (which would, in fact, typically be the case during a size-based rotation). This would amount to about MAXPGPATH (1KB) per rotation, and it's been there since the CSV code was put in, so it's surprising that nobody noticed it before. Per bug #5196 from Thomas Poindessous.
2009-11-16While doing the final setrefs.c pass over a plan tree, try to match upTom Lane
non-Var sort/group expressions using ressortgroupref labels instead of depending entirely on equal()-ity of the upper node's tlist expressions to the lower node's. This avoids emitting the wrong outputs in cases where there are textually identical volatile sort/group expressions, as for example select distinct random(),random() from generate_series(1,10); Per report from Andrew Gierth. Backpatch to 8.4. Arguably this is wrong all the way back, but the only known case where there's an observable problem is when using hash aggregation to implement DISTINCT, which is new as of 8.4. So for the moment I'll refrain from backpatching further.
2009-11-15Make text search parser accept underscores in XML attributes (bug #5075)Peter Eisentraut
2009-11-14Add inheritable ACE when creating a restricted token for execution onMagnus Hagander
Win32. Also refactor the code around it to be more clear. Jesse Morris
2009-11-13A better fix for the "ARRAY[...]::domain" problem. The previous patch worked,Heikki Linnakangas
but the transformed ArrayExpr claimed to have a return type of "domain", even though the domain constraint was only checked by the enclosing CoerceToDomain node. With this fix, the ArrayExpr is correctly labeled with the base type of the domain. Per gripe by Tom Lane.
2009-11-13When you do "ARRAY[...]::domain", where domain is a domain over an array type,Heikki Linnakangas
we need to check domain constraints. We used to do it correctly, but 8.4 introduced a separate code path for the "ARRAY[]::arraytype" case to infer the type of an empty ARRAY construct from the cast target, and forgot to take domains into account. Per report from Florian G. Pflug.
2009-11-13Fix multicolumn GIN's wrong results with fastupdate enabled.Teodor Sigaev
User-defined consistent functions believes the check array contains at least one true element which was not a true for scanning pending list. Per report from Yury Don <yura@vpcit.ru>
2009-11-10Do not build psql's flex module on its own, but instead include it inTom Lane
mainloop.c. This ensures that postgres_fe.h is read before including any system headers, which is necessary to avoid problems on some platforms where we make nondefault selections of feature macros for stdio.h or other headers. We have had this policy for flex modules in the backend for many years, but for some reason it was not applied to psql. Per trouble report from Alexandra Roy and diagnosis by Albe Laurenz.
2009-11-10Fix longstanding problems in VACUUM caused by untimely interruptionsAlvaro Herrera
In VACUUM FULL, an interrupt after the initial transaction has been recorded as committed can cause postmaster to restart with the following error message: PANIC: cannot abort transaction NNNN, it was already committed This problem has been reported many times. In lazy VACUUM, an interrupt after the table has been truncated by lazy_truncate_heap causes other backends' relcache to still point to the removed pages; this can cause future INSERT and UPDATE queries to error out with the following error message: could not read block XX of relation 1663/NNN/MMMM: read only 0 of 8192 bytes The window to this race condition is extremely narrow, but it has been seen in the wild involving a cancelled autovacuum process. The solution for both problems is to inhibit interrupts in both operations until after the respective transactions have been committed. It's not a complete solution, because the transaction could theoretically be aborted by some other error, but at least fixes the most common causes of both problems.
2009-11-05Allow binary-coercible cases in ri_HashCompareOp; there are some such casesTom Lane
that are not handled by find_coercion_pathway, notably composite->RECORD. Now that 8.4 supports composites as primary keys, it's worth dealing with this case.
2009-11-03Fix obscure segfault condition in PL/PythonPeter Eisentraut
In PLy_output(), when the elog() call in the TRY branch throws an exception (this can happen when a statement timeout kicks in, for example), the PyErr_SetString() call in the CATCH branch can cause a segfault, because the Py_XDECREF(so) call before it releases memory that is still used by the sv variable that PyErr_SetString() uses as argument, because sv points into memory owned by so. Backpatched back to 8.0, where this code was introduced. I also threw in a couple of volatile declarations for variables that are used before and after the TRY. I don't think they caused the crash that I observed, but they could become issues.
2009-11-01Dept of second thoughts: after studying index_getnext() a bit more I realizeTom Lane
that it can scribble on scan->xs_ctup.t_self while following HOT chains, so we can't rely on that to stay valid between hashgettuple() calls. Introduce a private variable in HashScanOpaque, instead.
2009-11-01Fix two serious bugs introduced into hash indexes by the 8.4 patch that madeTom Lane
hash indexes keep entries sorted by hash value. First, the original plans for concurrency assumed that insertions would happen only at the end of a page, which is no longer true; this could cause scans to transiently fail to find index entries in the presence of concurrent insertions. We can compensate by teaching scans to re-find their position after re-acquiring read locks. Second, neither the bucket split nor the bucket compaction logic had been fixed to preserve hashvalue ordering, so application of either of those processes could lead to permanent corruption of an index, in the sense that searches might fail to find entries that are present. This patch fixes the split and compaction logic to preserve hashvalue ordering, but it cannot do anything about pre-existing corruption. We will need to recommend reindexing all hash indexes in the 8.4.2 release notes. To buy back the performance loss hereby induced in split and compaction, fix them to use PageIndexMultiDelete instead of retail PageIndexDelete operations. We might later want to do something with qsort'ing the page contents rather than doing a binary search for each insertion, but that seemed more invasive than I cared to risk in a back-patch. Per bug #5157 from Jeff Janes and subsequent investigation.
2009-10-31Ensure the previous Perl interpreter selection is restored upon exit fromTom Lane
plperl_call_handler, in both the normal and error-exit paths. Per report from Alexey Klyukin.
2009-10-30Make the overflow guards in ExecChooseHashTableSize be more protective.Tom Lane
The original coding ensured nbuckets and nbatch didn't exceed INT_MAX, which while not insane on its own terms did nothing to protect subsequent code like "palloc(nbatch * sizeof(BufFile *))". Since enormous join size estimates might well be planner error rather than reality, it seems best to constrain the initial sizes to be not more than work_mem/sizeof(pointer), thus ensuring the allocated arrays don't exceed work_mem. We will allow nbatch to get bigger than that during subsequent ExecHashIncreaseNumBatches calls, but we should still guard against integer overflow in those palloc requests. Per bug #5145 from Bernt Marius Johnsen. Although the given test case only seems to fail back to 8.2, previous releases have variants of this issue, so patch all supported branches.
2009-10-28Fix \df to re-allow regexp special characters in the function name pattern.Tom Lane
This has always worked, up until somebody's thinko here: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-committers/2009-04/msg00233.php Per bug #5143 from Piotr Wolinski.
2009-10-27Fix AfterTriggerSaveEvent to use a test and elog, not just Assert, to checkTom Lane
that it's called within an AfterTriggerBeginQuery/AfterTriggerEndQuery pair. The RI cascade triggers suppress that overhead on the assumption that they are always run non-deferred, so it's possible to violate the condition if someone mistakenly changes pg_trigger to mark such a trigger deferred. We don't really care about supporting that, but throwing an error instead of crashing seems desirable. Per report from Marcelo Costa.
2009-10-27Make FOR UPDATE/SHARE in the primary query not propagate into WITH queries;Tom Lane
for example in WITH w AS (SELECT * FROM foo) SELECT * FROM w, bar ... FOR UPDATE the FOR UPDATE will now affect bar but not foo. This is more useful and consistent than the original 8.4 behavior, which tried to propagate FOR UPDATE into the WITH query but always failed due to assorted implementation restrictions. Even though we are in process of removing those restrictions, it seems correct on philosophical grounds to not let the outer query's FOR UPDATE affect the WITH query. In passing, fix isLockedRel which frequently got things wrong in nested-subquery cases: "FOR UPDATE OF foo" applies to an alias foo in the current query level, not subqueries. This has been broken for a long time, but it doesn't seem worth back-patching further than 8.4 because the actual consequences are minimal. At worst the parser would sometimes get RowShareLock on a relation when it should be AccessShareLock or vice versa. That would only make a difference if someone were using ExclusiveLock concurrently, which no standard operation does, and anyway FOR UPDATE doesn't result in visible changes so it's not clear that the someone would notice any problem. Between that and the fact that FOR UPDATE barely works with subqueries at all in existing releases, I'm not excited about worrying about it.
2009-10-16Rewrite pam_passwd_conv_proc to be more robust: avoid assuming that theTom Lane
pam_message array contains exactly one PAM_PROMPT_ECHO_OFF message. Instead, deal with however many messages there are, and don't throw error for PAM_ERROR_MSG and PAM_TEXT_INFO messages. This logic is borrowed from openssh 5.2p1, which hopefully has seen more real-world PAM usage than we have. Per bug #5121 from Ryan Douglas, which turned out to be caused by the conv_proc being called with zero messages. Apparently that is normal behavior given the combination of Linux pam_krb5 with MS Active Directory as the domain controller. Patch all the way back, since this code has been essentially untouched since 7.4. (Surprising we've not heard complaints before.)
2009-10-16FREEZE and VERBOSE options were in wrong order in the VACUUM command thatHeikki Linnakangas
vacuumdb produces. Per report by Thom Brown.
2009-10-14Rename the new MAX_AUTH_TOKEN_LENGTH #define to PG_MAX_AUTH_MAX_TOKEN_LENGTH,Heikki Linnakangas
to make it more obvious that it's a PostgreSQL internal limit, not something that comes from system header files.
2009-10-14Raise the maximum authentication token (Kerberos ticket) size in GSSAPIHeikki Linnakangas
and SSPI athentication methods. While the old 2000 byte limit was more than enough for Unix Kerberos implementations, tickets issued by Windows Domain Controllers can be much larger. Ian Turner
2009-10-13Fix ts_stat's failure on empty tsvector.Tom Lane
Also insert a couple of Asserts that check for stack overflow. Bogus coding appears to be new in 8.4 --- older releases had a much simpler algorithm here. Per bug #5111.
2009-10-08Fix off-by-one bug in bitncmp(): When comparing a number of bits divisible byHeikki Linnakangas
8, bitncmp() may dereference a pointer one byte out of bounds. Chris Mikkelson (bug #5101)
2009-10-07Fix snapshot management, take two.Alvaro Herrera
Partially revert the previous patch I installed and replace it with a more general fix: any time a snapshot is pushed as Active, we need to ensure that it will not be modified in the future. This means that if the same snapshot is used as CurrentSnapshot, it needs to be copied separately. This affects serializable transactions only, because CurrentSnapshot has already been copied by RegisterSnapshot and so PushActiveSnapshot does not think it needs another copy. However, CommandCounterIncrement would modify CurrentSnapshot, whereas ActiveSnapshots must not have their command counters incremented. I say "partially" because the regression test I added for the previous bug has been kept. (This restores 8.3 behavior, because before snapmgr.c existed, any snapshot set as Active was copied.) Per bug report from Stuart Bishop in 6bc73d4c0910042358k3d1adff3qa36f8df75198ecea@mail.gmail.com
2009-10-06Change CREATE TABLE so that column default expressions coming from differentTom Lane
inheritance parent tables are compared using equal(), instead of doing strcmp() on the nodeToString representation. The old implementation was always a tad cheesy, and it finally fails completely as of 8.4, now that the node tree might contain syntax location information. equal() knows it's supposed to ignore those fields, but strcmp() hardly can. Per recent report from Scott Ribe.
2009-10-03Fix assorted memory leaks in pg_hba.conf parsing. Over a sufficientlyTom Lane
large number of SIGHUP cycles, these would have run the postmaster out of memory. Noted while testing memory-leak scenario in postgresql.conf configuration-change-printing patch.
2009-10-02Fix an oversight in an 8.3-era patch: pgstat_initstats should allow statsTom Lane
to be collected for sequences. Report and fix by Akira Kurosawa
2009-10-02Make sure that GIN fast-insert and regular code paths enforce the sameTom Lane
tuple size limit. Improve the error message for index-tuple-too-large so that it includes the actual size, the limit, and the index name. Sync with the btree occurrences of the same error. Back-patch to 8.4 because it appears that the out-of-sync problem is occurring in the field. Teodor and Tom
2009-10-02Fix erroneous handling of shared dependencies (ie dependencies on roles)Tom Lane
in CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION. The original code would update pg_shdepend as if a new function was being created, even if it wasn't, with two bad consequences: pg_shdepend might record the wrong owner for the function, and any dependencies for roles mentioned in the function's ACL would be lost. The fix is very easy: just don't touch pg_shdepend at all when doing a function replacement. Also update the CREATE FUNCTION reference page, which never explained exactly what changes and doesn't change in a function replacement. In passing, fix the CREATE VIEW reference page similarly; there's no code bug there, but the docs didn't say what happens.
2009-10-02Ensure that a cursor has an immutable snapshot throughout its lifespan.Alvaro Herrera
The old coding was using a regular snapshot, referenced elsewhere, that was subject to having its command counter updated. Fix by creating a private copy of the snapshot exclusively for the cursor. Backpatch to 8.4, which is when the bug was introduced during the snapshot management rewrite.
2009-09-29Fix equivclass.c's not-quite-right strategy for handling X=X clauses.Tom Lane
The original coding correctly noted that these aren't just redundancies (they're effectively X IS NOT NULL, assuming = is strict). However, they got treated that way if X happened to be in a single-member EquivalenceClass already, which could happen if there was an ORDER BY X clause, for instance. The simplest and most reliable solution seems to be to not try to process such clauses through the EquivalenceClass machinery; just throw them back for traditional processing. The amount of work that'd be needed to be smarter than that seems out of proportion to the benefit. Per bug #5084 from Bernt Marius Johnsen, and analysis by Andrew Gierth.
2009-09-28Convert a perl array to a postgres array when returned by Set Returning ↵Andrew Dunstan
Functions as well as non SRFs. Backpatch to 8.1 where these facilities were introduced. with a little help from Abhijit Menon-Sen.
2009-09-26Fix RelationCacheInitializePhase2 (Phase3, in HEAD) to cope with theTom Lane
possibility of shared-inval messages causing a relcache flush while it tries to fill in missing data in preloaded relcache entries. There are actually two distinct failure modes here: 1. The flush could delete the next-to-be-processed cache entry, causing the subsequent hash_seq_search calls to go off into the weeds. This is the problem reported by Michael Brown, and I believe it also accounts for bug #5074. The simplest fix is to restart the hashtable scan after we've read any new data from the catalogs. It appears that pre-8.4 branches have not suffered from this failure, because by chance there were no other catalogs sharing the same hash chains with the catalogs that RelationCacheInitializePhase2 had work to do for. However that's obviously pretty fragile, and it seems possible that derivative versions with additional system catalogs might be vulnerable, so I'm back-patching this part of the fix anyway. 2. The flush could delete the *current* cache entry, in which case the pointer to the newly-loaded data would end up being stored into an already-deleted Relation struct. As long as it was still deleted, the only consequence would be some leaked space in CacheMemoryContext. But it seems possible that the Relation struct could already have been recycled, in which case this represents a hard-to-reproduce clobber of cached data structures, with unforeseeable consequences. The fix here is to pin the entry while we work on it. In passing, also change RelationCacheInitializePhase2 to Assert that formrdesc() set up the relation's cached TupleDesc (rd_att) with the correct type OID and hasoids values. This is more appropriate than silently updating the values, because the original tupdesc might already have been copied into the catcache. However this part of the patch is not in HEAD because it fails due to some questionable recent changes in formrdesc :-(. That will be cleaned up in a subsequent patch.
2009-09-22Fix crash if a DROP is attempted on an internally-dependent object.Tom Lane
Introduced in 8.4 rewrite of dependency.c. Per bug #5072 from Amit Khandekar.
2009-09-21fsync test filesBruce Momjian
Prevent creation of 16GB files during fsync testing; only create 16MB files; backpatch to 8.4.X.
2009-09-18Fix incorrect arguments for gist_box_penalty call. The bug could be observedTeodor Sigaev
only for secondary page split (i.e. for non-first columns of index) Patch by Paul Ramsey <pramsey@opengeo.org>
2009-09-15Fix two distinct errors in creation of GIN_INSERT_LISTPAGE xlog records.Tom Lane
In practice these mistakes were always masked when full_page_writes was on, because XLogInsert would always choose to log the full page, and then ginRedoInsertListPage wouldn't try to do anything. But with full_page_writes off a WAL replay failure was certain. The GIN_INSERT_LISTPAGE record type could probably be eliminated entirely in favor of using XLOG_HEAP_NEWPAGE, but I refrained from doing that now since it would have required a significantly more invasive patch. In passing do a little bit of code cleanup, including making the accounting for free space on GIN list pages more precise. (This wasn't a bug as the errors were always in the conservative direction.) Per report from Simon. Back-patch to 8.4 which contains the identical code.
2009-09-13Don't error out if recycling or removing an old WAL segment fails at the endHeikki Linnakangas
of checkpoint. Although the checkpoint has been written to WAL at that point already, so that all data is safe, and we'll retry removing the WAL segment at the next checkpoint, if such a failure persists we won't be able to remove any other old WAL segments either and will eventually run out of disk space. It's better to treat the failure as non-fatal, and move on to clean any other WAL segment and continue with any other end-of-checkpoint cleanup. We don't normally expect any such failures, but on Windows it can happen with some anti-virus or backup software that lock files without FILE_SHARE_DELETE flag. Also, the loop in pgrename() to retry when the file is locked was broken. If a file is locked on Windows, you get ERROR_SHARE_VIOLATION, not ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED, at least on modern versions. Fix that, although I left the check for ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED in there as well (presumably it was correct in some environment), and added ERROR_LOCK_VIOLATION to be consistent with similar checks in pgwin32_open(). Reduce the timeout on the loop from 30s to 10s, on the grounds that since it's been broken, we've effectively had a timeout of 0s and no-one has complained, so a smaller timeout is actually closer to the old behavior. A longer timeout would mean that if recycling a WAL file fails because it's locked for some reason, InstallXLogFileSegment() will hold ControlFileLock for longer, potentially blocking other backends, so a long timeout isn't totally harmless. While we're at it, set errno correctly in pgrename(). Backpatch to 8.2, which is the oldest version supported on Windows. The xlog.c changes would make sense on other platforms and thus on older versions as well, but since there's no such locking issues on other platforms, it's not worth it.
2009-09-12Fix assertion failure when a SELECT DISTINCT ON expression is volatile.Tom Lane
In this case we generate two PathKey references to the expression (one for DISTINCT and one for ORDER BY) and they really need to refer to the same EquivalenceClass. However get_eclass_for_sort_expr was being overly paranoid and creating two different EC's. Correct behavior is to use the SortGroupRef index to decide whether two references to volatile expressions that are equal() (ie textually equivalent) should be considered the same. Backpatch to 8.4. Possibly this should be changed in 8.3 as well, but I'll refrain in the absence of evidence of a visible failure in that branch. Per bug #5049.
