I noticed the "vacuum" regression test taking really significantly longer
than it used to on a slow machine. Investigation pointed the finger at
commit e415b469b33ba328765e39fd62edcd28f30d9c3c, which added creation of
an index using an extremely expensive index function. That function was
evidently meant to be applied only twice ... but the test re-used an
existing test table, which up till a couple lines before that had had over
two thousand rows. Depending on timing of the concurrent regression tests,
the intervening VACUUMs might have been unable to remove those
recently-dead rows, and then the index build would need to create index
entries for them too, leading to the wrap_do_analyze() function being
executed 2000+ times not twice. Avoid this by using a different table
that is guaranteed to have only the intended two rows in it.
Back-patch to 9.0, like the commit that created the problem.

Back in ed0b409, PGPROC was split and moved to static variables in
procarray.c, with procs in ProcArrayStruct replaced by an array of
integers representing process numbers (pgprocnos), with -1 indicating a
dead process which has yet to be removed. Access to procArray is
generally done under ProcArrayLock and therefore most code does not have
to concern itself with -1 entries.
However, MinimumActiveBackends intentionally does not take
ProcArrayLock, which means it has to be extra careful when accessing
procArray. Prior to ed0b409, this was handled by checking for a NULL
in the pointer array, but that check was no longer valid after the
split. Coverity pointed out that the check could never happen and so
it was removed in 5592eba. That didn't make anything worse, but it
didn't fix the issue either.
The correct fix is to check for pgprocno == -1 and skip over that entry
if it is encountered.
Back-patch to 9.2, since there can be attempts to access the arrays
prior to their start otherwise. Note that the changes prior to 9.4 will
look a bit different due to the change in 5592eba.
Note that MinimumActiveBackends only returns a bool for heuristic
purposes and any pre-array accesses are strictly read-only and so there
is no security implication and the lack of fields complaints indicates
it's very unlikely to run into issues due to this.

Darwin --enable-nls builds use a substitute setlocale() that may start a
thread. Buildfarm member orangutan experienced BackendList corruption
on account of different postmaster threads executing signal handlers
simultaneously. Furthermore, a multithreaded postmaster risks undefined
behavior from sigprocmask() and fork(). Emit LOG messages about the
problem and its workaround. Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).

Typical server invocations already achieved that. Invalid locale
settings in the initial postmaster environment interfered, as could
malloc() failure. Setting "LC_MESSAGES=pt_BR.utf8 LC_ALL=invalid" in
the postmaster environment will now choose C-locale messages, not
Brazilian Portuguese messages. Most localized programs, including all
PostgreSQL frontend executables, do likewise. Users are unlikely to
observe changes involving locale categories other than LC_MESSAGES.
CheckMyDatabase() ensures that we successfully set LC_COLLATE and
LC_CTYPE; main() sets the remaining three categories to locale "C",
which almost cannot fail. Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions).

vacuum()'s static variable handling makes it non-reentrant; an ensuing

The corner case where a relcache invalidation tried to rebuild the
entry for a referenced relation but couldn't find it in the catalog
wasn't correct.
The code tried to RelationCacheDelete/RelationDestroyRelation the
entry. That didn't work when assertions are enabled because the latter
contains an assertion ensuring the refcount is zero. It's also more
generally a bad idea, because by virtue of being referenced somebody
might actually look at the entry, which is possible if the error is
trapped and handled via a subtransaction abort.
Instead just error out, without deleting the entry. As the entry is
marked invalid, the worst that can happen is that the invalid (and at
some point unused) entry lingers in the relcache.

There should be no way to hit this case < 9.4 where logical decoding
introduced a bug that can hit this. But since the code for handling
the corner case is there it should do something halfway sane, so
backpatch all the the way back. The logical decoding bug will be
handled in a separate commit.

As every error in mark_file_as_archived() will lead to a failure of
pg_basebackup the FD leak couldn't ever lead to a real problem. It
seems better to fix the leak anyway though, rather than silence
Coverity, as the usage of the function might get extended or copied at
some point in the future.
Pointed out by Coverity.
Backpatch to 9.2, like the relevant part of the previous patch.

WAL (and timeline history) files created by pg_basebackup did not
maintain the new base backup's archive status. That's currently not a
problem if the new node is used as a standby - but if that node is
promoted all still existing files can get archived again. With a high
wal_keep_segment settings that can happen a significant time later -
which is quite confusing.
Change both the backend (for the -x/-X fetch case) and pg_basebackup
(for -X stream) itself to always mark WAL/timeline files included in
the base backup as .done. That's in line with walreceiver.c doing so.
The verbosity of the pg_basebackup changes show pretty clearly that it
needs some refactoring, but that'd result in not be backpatchable
changes.
Backpatch to 9.1 where pg_basebackup was introduced.

For simple boolean variables such as ON_ERROR_STOP, psql has for a long
time recognized variant spellings of "on" and "off" (such as "1"/"0"),
and it also made a point of warning you if you'd misspelled the setting.
But these conveniences did not exist for other keyword-valued variables.
In particular, though ECHO_HIDDEN and ON_ERROR_ROLLBACK include "on" and
"off" as possible values, none of the alternative spellings for those were
recognized; and to make matters worse the code would just silently assume
"on" was meant for any unrecognized spelling. Several people have reported
getting bitten by this, so let's fix it. In detail, this patch:
* Allows all spellings recognized by ParseVariableBool() for ECHO_HIDDEN
and ON_ERROR_ROLLBACK.
* Reports a warning for unrecognized values for COMP_KEYWORD_CASE, ECHO,
ECHO_HIDDEN, HISTCONTROL, ON_ERROR_ROLLBACK, and VERBOSITY.
* Recognizes all values for all these variables case-insensitively;
previously there was a mishmash of case-sensitive and case-insensitive
behaviors.
Back-patch to all supported branches. There is a small risk of breaking
existing scripts that were accidentally failing to malfunction; but the
consensus is that the chance of detecting real problems and preventing
future mistakes outweighs this.

For some reason this seems to have been missed when the lists in
src/timezone/tznames/ were first constructed. We can't put it in Default
because of the conflict with US CST, but we should certainly list it among
the alternative entries in Asia.txt. (I checked for other oversights, but
all the other abbreviations that are in current use according to the IANA
files seem to be accounted for.) Noted while responding to bug #12326.

In LWLockRelease() (and in 9.4+ LWLockUpdateVar()) we release enqueued
waiters using PGSemaphoreUnlock(). As there are other sources of such
unlocks backends only wake up if MyProc->lwWaiting is set to false;
which is only done in the aforementioned functions.
Before this commit there were dangers because the store to lwWaitLink
could become visible before the store to lwWaitLink. This could both
happen due to compiler reordering (on most compilers) and on some
platforms due to the CPU reordering stores.
The possible consequence of this is that a backend stops waiting
before lwWaitLink is set to NULL. If that backend then tries to
acquire another lock and has to wait there the list could become
corrupted once the lwWaitLink store is finally performed.
Add a write memory barrier to prevent that issue.
Unfortunately the barrier support has been only added in 9.2. Given
that the issue has not knowingly been observed in praxis it seems
sufficient to prohibit compiler reordering using volatile for 9.0 and
9.1. Actual problems due to compiler reordering are more likely
anyway.

Back-patch to 9.0 (all supported versions). This is mere
future-proofing in the context of the master branch, but commit
f6dc6dd5ba54d52c0733aaafc50da2fbaeabb8b0 requires it of older branches.

When starting up from a basebackup taken off a standby extra logic has
to be applied to compute the point where the data directory is
consistent. Normal base backups use a WAL record for that purpose, but
that isn't possible on a standby.
That logic had a error check ensuring that the cluster's control file
indicates being in recovery. Unfortunately that check was too strict,
disregarding the fact that the control file could also indicate that
the cluster was shut down while in recovery.
That's possible when the a cluster starting from a basebackup is shut
down before the backup label has been removed. When everything goes
well that's a short window, but when either restore_command or
primary_conninfo isn't configured correctly the window can get much
wider. That's because inbetween reading and unlinking the label we
restore the last checkpoint from WAL which can need additional WAL.
To fix simply also allow starting when the control file indicates
"shutdown in recovery". There's nicer fixes imaginable, but they'd be
more invasive.
Backpatch to 9.2 where support for taking basebackups from standbys
was added.

MapArrayTypeName would copy up to NAMEDATALEN-1 bytes of the base type
name, which of course is wrong: after prepending '_' there is only room for
NAMEDATALEN-2 bytes. Aside from being the wrong result, this case would
lead to overrunning the statically allocated work buffer. This would be a
security bug if the function were ever used outside bootstrap mode, but it
isn't, at least not in any currently supported branches.
Aside from fixing the off-by-one loop logic, this patch gets rid of the
static work buffer by having MapArrayTypeName pstrdup its result; the sole
caller was already doing that, so this just requires moving the pstrdup
call. This saves a few bytes but mainly it makes the API a lot cleaner.
Back-patch on the off chance that there is some third-party code using
MapArrayTypeName with less-secure input. Pushing pstrdup into the function
should not cause any serious problems for such hypothetical code; at worst
there might be a short term memory leak.

Ordinarily we can omit checking of a WHERE condition that matches a partial
index's condition, when we are using an indexscan on that partial index.
However, in SELECT FOR UPDATE we must include the "redundant" filter
condition in the plan so that it gets checked properly in an EvalPlanQual
recheck. The planner got this mostly right, but improperly omitted the
filter condition if the index in question was on an inheritance child
table. In READ COMMITTED mode, this could result in incorrectly returning
just-updated rows that no longer satisfy the filter condition.
The cause of the error is using get_parse_rowmark() when get_plan_rowmark()
is what should be used during planning. In 9.3 and up, also fix the same
mistake in contrib/postgres_fdw. It's currently harmless there (for lack
of inheritance support) but wrong is wrong, and the incorrect code might
get copied to someplace where it's more significant.
Report and fix by Kyotaro Horiguchi. Back-patch to all supported branches.
|
|
In READ COMMITTED mode, if a SELECT FOR UPDATE discovers it has to redo
WHERE-clause checking on rows that have been updated since the SELECT's
snapshot, it invokes EvalPlanQual processing to do that. If this first
occurs within a non-first child table of an inheritance tree, the previous
coding could accidentally re-return a matching row from an earlier,
already-scanned child table. (And, to add insult to injury, I think this
could make it miss returning a row that should have been returned, if the
updated row that this happens on should still have passed the WHERE qual.)
Per report from Kyotaro Horiguchi; the added isolation test is based on his
test case.
This has been broken for quite awhile, so back-patch to all supported
branches.

We were not checking to see if the supplied dscale was valid for the given
digit array when receiving binary-format numeric values. While dscale can
validly be more than the number of nonzero fractional digits, it shouldn't
be less; that case causes fractional digits to be hidden on display even
though they're there and participate in arithmetic.
Bug #12053 from Tommaso Sala indicates that there's at least one broken
client library out there that sometimes supplies an incorrect dscale value,
leading to strange behavior. This suggests that simply throwing an error
might not be the best response; it would lead to failures in applications
that might seem to be working fine today. What seems the least risky fix
is to truncate away any digits that would be hidden by dscale. This
preserves the existing behavior in terms of what will be printed for the
transmitted value, while preventing subsequent arithmetic from producing
results inconsistent with that.
In passing, throw a specific error for the case of dscale being outside
the range that will fit into a numeric's header. Before you got "value
overflows numeric format", which is a bit misleading.

Coverity complained that the "else" added to fillPGconn() was unreachable,
which it was. Remove the dead code. In passing, rearrange the tests so as
not to bother trying to fetch values for options that can't be assigned.
Pre-9.3 did not have that issue, but it did have a "return" that should be
"goto oom_error" to ensure that a suitable error message gets filled in.

If the "dbname" attribute in PQconnectDBParams contained a connection string
or URI (and expand_dbname = TRUE), the database name from the connection
string could not be overridden by a subsequent "dbname" keyword in the
array. That was not intentional; all other options can be overridden.
Furthermore, any subsequent "dbname" caused the connection string from the
first dbname value to be processed again, overriding any values for the same
options that were given between the connection string and the second dbname
option.
In the passing, clarify in the docs that only the first dbname option in the
array is parsed as a connection string.

postgres_fdw would send query conditions involving system columns to the
remote server, even though it makes no effort to ensure that system
columns other than CTID match what the remote side thinks. tableoid,
in particular, probably won't match and might have some use in queries.
Hence, prevent sending conditions that include non-CTID system columns.
Also, create_foreignscan_plan neglected to check local restriction
conditions while determining whether to set fsSystemCol for a foreign
scan plan node. This again would bollix the results for queries that
test a foreign table's tableoid.
Back-patch the first fix to 9.3 where postgres_fdw was introduced.
Back-patch the second to 9.2. The code is probably broken in 9.1 as
well, but the patch doesn't apply cleanly there; given the weak state
of support for FDWs in 9.1, it doesn't seem worth fixing.

The regression test cases added in commits b2cbced9e et al depended in part
on the Russian timezone offset changes of Oct 2014. While this is of no
particular concern for a default Postgres build, it was possible for a
build using --with-system-tzdata to fail the tests if the system tzdata
database wasn't au courant. Bjorn Munch and Christoph Berg both complained
about this while packaging 9.4rc1, so we probably shouldn't insist on the
system tzdata being up-to-date. Instead, make an equivalent test using a
zone change that occurred in Venezuela in 2007. With this patch, the
regression tests should pass using any tzdata set from 2012 or later.
(I can't muster much sympathy for somebody using --with-system-tzdata
on a machine whose system tzdata is more than three years out-of-date.)

Unlogged relations are only reset when performing a unclean
restart. That means they have to be synced to disk during clean
shutdowns. During normal processing that's achieved by registering a
buffer's file to be fsynced at the next checkpoint when flushed. But
ResetUnloggedRelations() doesn't go through the buffer manager, so
nothing will force reset relations to disk before the next shutdown
checkpoint.
So just make ResetUnloggedRelations() fsync the newly created main
forks to disk.

Unlogged relations are reset at the end of crash recovery as they're
only synced to disk during a proper shutdown. Unfortunately that and
later steps can fail, e.g. due to running out of space. This reset
was, up to now performed after marking the database as having finished
crash recovery successfully. As out of space errors trigger a crash
restart that could lead to the situation that not all unlogged
relations are reset.
Once that happend usage of unlogged relations could yield errors like
"could not open file "...": No such file or directory". Luckily
clusters that show the problem can be fixed by performing a immediate
shutdown, and starting the database again.
To fix, just call ResetUnloggedRelations(UNLOGGED_RELATION_INIT)
earlier, before marking the database as having successfully recovered.

Fix breakage induced by commits d8d3d2a4f37f6df5d0118b7f5211978cca22091a
and 463f2625a5fb183b6a8925ccde98bb3889f921d9: pg_dumpall has crashed when
attempting to dump from pre-8.1 servers since then, due to faulty
construction of the query used for dumping roles from older servers.
The query was erroneous as of the earlier commit, but it wasn't exposed
unless you tried to use --binary-upgrade, which you presumably wouldn't
with a pre-8.1 server. However commit 463f2625a made it fail always.
In HEAD, also fix additional breakage induced in the same query by
commit 491c029dbc4206779cf659aa0ff986af7831d2ff, which evidently wasn't
tested against pre-8.1 servers either.
The bug is only latent in 9.1 because 463f2625a hadn't landed yet, but
it seems best to back-patch all branches containing the faulty query.

There was a window in RestoreBackupBlock where a page would be zeroed out,
but not yet locked. If a backend pinned and locked the page in that window,
it saw the zeroed page instead of the old page or new page contents, which
could lead to missing rows in a result set, or errors.
To fix, replace RBM_ZERO with RBM_ZERO_AND_LOCK, which atomically pins,
zeroes, and locks the page, if it's not in the buffer cache already.
In stable branches, the old RBM_ZERO constant is renamed to RBM_DO_NOT_USE,
to avoid breaking any 3rd party extensions that might use RBM_ZERO. More
importantly, this avoids renumbering the other enum values, which would
cause even bigger confusion in extensions that use ReadBufferExtended, but
haven't been recompiled.
Backpatch to all supported versions; this has been racy since hot standby
was introduced.

This only happens if a client issues a Parse message with an empty query
string, which is a bit odd; but since it is explicitly called out as legal
by our FE/BE protocol spec, we'd probably better continue to allow it.
Fix by adding tests everywhere that the raw_parse_tree field is passed to
functions that don't or shouldn't accept NULL. Also make it clear in the
relevant comments that NULL is an expected case.
This reverts commits a73c9dbab0165b3395dfe8a44a7dfd16166963c4 and
2e9650cbcff8c8fb0d9ef807c73a44f241822eee, which fixed specific crash
symptoms by hacking things at what now seems to be the wrong end, ie the
callee functions. Making the callees allow NULL is superficially more
robust, but it's not always true that there is a defensible thing for the
callee to do in such cases. The caller has more context and is better
able to decide what the empty-query case ought to do.
Per followup discussion of bug #11335. Back-patch to 9.2. The code
before that is sufficiently different that it would require development
of a separate patch, which doesn't seem worthwhile for what is believed
to be an essentially cosmetic change.

When the recursive search in dependency.c visits a column and then later
visits the whole table containing the column, it needs to propagate the
drop-context flags for the table to the existing target-object entry for
the column. Otherwise we might refuse the DROP (if not CASCADE) on the
incorrect grounds that there was no automatic drop pathway to the column.
Remarkably, this has not been reported before, though it's possible at
least when an extension creates both a datatype and a table using that
datatype.
Rather than just marking the column as allowed to be dropped, it might
seem good to skip the DROP COLUMN step altogether, since the later DROP
of the table will surely get the job done. The problem with that is that
the datatype would then be dropped before the table (since the whole
situation occurred because we visited the datatype, and then recursed to
the dependent column, before visiting the table). That seems pretty risky,
and the case is rare enough that it doesn't seem worth expending a lot of
effort or risk to make the drops happen in a safe order. So we just play
dumb and delete the column separately according to the existing drop
ordering rules.
Per report from Petr Jelinek, though this is different from his proposed
patch.
Back-patch to 9.1, where extensions were introduced. There's currently
no evidence that such cases can arise before 9.1, and in any case we would
also need to back-patch cb5c2ba2d82688d29b5902d86b993a54355cad4d to 9.0
if we wanted to back-patch this.

At one time it wasn't terribly important what column names were associated
with the fields of a composite Datum, but since the introduction of
operations like row_to_json(), it's important that looking up the rowtype
ID embedded in the Datum returns the column names that users would expect.
However, that doesn't work terribly well: you could get the column names
of the underlying table, or column aliases from any level of the query,
depending on minor details of the plan tree. You could even get totally
empty field names, which is disastrous for cases like row_to_json().
It seems unwise to change this behavior too much in stable branches,
however, since users might not have noticed that they weren't getting
the least-unintuitive choice of field names. Therefore, in the back
branches, only change the results when the child plan has returned an
actually-empty field name. (We assume that can't happen with a named
rowtype, so this also dodges the issue of possibly producing RECORD-typed
output from a Var with a named composite result type.) As in the sister
patch for HEAD, we can get a better name to use from the Var's
corresponding RTE. There is no need to touch the RowExpr code since it
was already using a copy of the RTE's alias list for RECORD cases.
Back-patch as far as 9.2. Before that we did not have row_to_json()
so there were no core functions potentially affected by bogus field
names. While 9.1 and earlier do have contrib's hstore(record) which
is also affected, those versions don't seem to produce empty field names
(at least not in the known problem cases), so we'll leave them alone.

dict_thesaurus stored phrase IDs in uint16 fields, so it would get confused
and even crash if there were more than 64K entries in the configuration
file. It turns out to be basically free to widen the phrase IDs to uint32,
so let's just do so.
This was complained of some time ago by David Boutin (in bug #7793);
he later submitted an informal patch but it was never acted on.
We now have another complaint (bug #11901 from Luc Ouellette) so it's
time to make something happen.
This is basically Boutin's patch, but for future-proofing I also added a
defense against too many words per phrase. Note that we don't need any
explicit defense against overflow of the uint32 counters, since before that
happens we'd hit array allocation sizes that repalloc rejects.
Back-patch to all supported branches because of the crash risk.

Previously .ready file was created for the timeline history file at the end

The previous coding assumed that we could just let buffers for the
database's old tablespace age out of the buffer arena naturally.
The folly of that is exposed by bug #11867 from Marc Munro: the user could
later move the database back to its original tablespace, after which any
still-surviving buffers would match lookups again and appear to contain
valid data. But they'd be missing any changes applied while the database
was in the new tablespace.
This has been broken since ALTER SET TABLESPACE was introduced, so
back-patch to all supported branches.

As noted by Noah Misch, my initial cut at fixing bug #11638 didn't cover
all cases where ANALYZE might be invoked in an unsafe context. We need to
test the result of IsInTransactionChain not IsTransactionBlock; which is
notationally a pain because IsInTransactionChain requires an isTopLevel
flag, which would have to be passed down through several levels of callers.
I chose to pass in_outer_xact (ie, the result of IsInTransactionChain)
rather than isTopLevel per se, as that seemed marginally more apropos
for the intermediate functions to know about.

VACUUM and ANALYZE update the target table's pg_class row in-place, that is
nontransactionally. This is OK, more or less, for the statistical columns,
which are mostly nontransactional anyhow. It's not so OK for the DDL hint
flags (relhasindex etc), which might get changed in response to
transactional changes that could still be rolled back. This isn't a
problem for VACUUM, since it can't be run inside a transaction block nor
in parallel with DDL on the table. However, we allow ANALYZE inside a
transaction block, so if the transaction had earlier removed the last
index, rule, or trigger from the table, and then we roll back the
transaction after ANALYZE, the table would be left in a corrupted state
with the hint flags not set though they should be.
To fix, suppress the hint-flag updates if we are InTransactionBlock().
This is safe enough because it's always OK to postpone hint maintenance
some more; the worst-case consequence is a few extra searches of pg_index
et al. There was discussion of instead using a transactional update,
but that would change the behavior in ways that are not all desirable:
in most scenarios we're better off keeping ANALYZE's statistical values
even if the ANALYZE itself rolls back. In any case we probably don't want
to change this behavior in back branches.
Per bug #11638 from Casey Shobe. This has been broken for a good long
time, so back-patch to all supported branches.

If you call PQreset() repeatedly, and the connection cannot be
re-established, the error messages from the failed connection attempts
kept accumulating in the error string.
Fixes bug #11455 reported by Caleb Epstein. Backpatch to all supported
versions.

1. The comparison for matching terms used only the CRC to decide if there's
a match. Two different terms with the same CRC gave a match.
2. It assumed that if the second operand has more terms than the first, it's
never a match. That assumption is bogus, because there can be duplicate
terms in either operand.
Rewrite the implementation in a way that doesn't have those bugs.
Backpatch to all supported versions.

Since we taught btree to handle ScalarArrayOpExpr quals natively (commit
9e8da0f75731aaa7605cf4656c21ea09e84d2eb1), the planner has always included
ScalarArrayOpExpr quals in index conditions if possible. However, if the
qual is for a non-first index column, this could result in an inferior plan
because we can no longer take advantage of index ordering (cf. commit
807a40c551dd30c8dd5a0b3bd82f5bbb1e7fd285). It can be better to omit the
ScalarArrayOpExpr qual from the index condition and let it be done as a
filter, so that the output doesn't need to get sorted. Indeed, this is
true for the query introduced as a test case by the latter commit.
To fix, restructure get_index_paths and build_index_paths so that we
consider paths both with and without ScalarArrayOpExpr quals in non-first
index columns. Redesign the API of build_index_paths so that it reports
what it found, saving useless second or third calls.
Report and patch by Andrew Gierth (though rather heavily modified by me).
Back-patch to 9.2 where this code was introduced, since the issue can
result in significant performance regressions compared to plans produced
by 9.1 and earlier.

Windows has one a locale whose name contains a non-ASCII character:
"Norwegian (Bokmål)" (that's an 'a' with a ring on top). That causes
trouble; when passing it setlocale(), it's not clear what encoding the
argument should be in. Another problem is that the locale name is stored in
pg_database catalog table, and the encoding used there depends on what
server encoding happens to be in use when the database is created. For
example, if you issue the CREATE DATABASE when connected to a UTF-8
database, the locale name is stored in pg_database in UTF-8. As long as all
locale names are pure ASCII, that's not a problem.
To work around that, map the troublesome locale name to a pure-ASCII alias
of the same locale, "norwegian-bokmal".
Now, this doesn't change the existing values that are already in
pg_database and in postgresql.conf. Old clusters will need to be fixed
manually. Instructions for that need to be put in the release notes.
This fixes bug #11431 reported by Alon Siman-Tov. Backpatch to 9.2;
backpatching further would require more work than seems worth it.

Don't crash if an ispell dictionary definition contains flags but not
any compound affixes. (This isn't a security issue since only superusers
can install affix files, but still it's a bad thing.)
Also, be more careful about detecting whether an affix-file FLAG command
is old-format (ispell) or new-format (myspell/hunspell). And change the
error message about mixed old-format and new-format commands into something
intelligible.
Per bug #11770 from Emre Hasegeli. Back-patch to all supported branches.

Previously the archive recovery always created .ready file for
the last WAL file of the old timeline at the end of recovery even when
it's restored from the archive and has .done file. That is, there was
the case where the WAL file had both .ready and .done files.
This caused the already-archived WAL file to be archived again.
This commit prevents the archive recovery from creating .ready file
for the last WAL file if it has .done file, in order to prevent it from
being archived again.
This bug was added when cascading replication feature was introduced,
i.e., the commit 5286105800c7d5902f98f32e11b209c471c0c69c.
So, back-patch to 9.2, where cascading replication was added.
