Hi @reshke , I suggest not rushing to cherry-pick the commits to the REL_2_STABLE branch. We can do that in a batch with the next release. |
Okay. So, what will be the batch size? Is it all 14.4 - 14.20 commits, all commits that did make it to main, or 14.4 - 14.5 portion (maybe some other rule?). I will update this PR incrementally, then. And before next release, we will rebase & commit |
It sounds make sense. Thanks. |

Sorry, I don't see here commit eacd9c7 It is relevant REL_2_STABLE, could we merge it to REL_2_STABLE too? |
We were not updating the partition map cache in the subscriber even when the corresponding remote rel is changed. Due to this data was getting incorrectly replicated for partition tables after the publisher has changed the table schema. Fix it by resetting the required entries in the partition map cache after receiving a new relation mapping from the publisher.

In logical replication, we will check if the target table on the subscriber is updatable by comparing the replica identity of the table on the publisher with the table on the subscriber. When the target table is a partitioned table, we only check its replica identity but not for the partition tables. This leads to assertion failure while applying changes for update/delete as we expect those to succeed only when the corresponding partition table has a primary key or has a replica identity defined. Fix it by checking the replica identity of the partition table while applying changes.

We build the partition map entries on subscribers while applying the changes for update/delete on partitions. The component relation in each entry is closed after its use so we need to update it on successive use of cache entries. This problem was there since the original commit f1ac27b that introduced this code but we didn't notice it till the recent commit 26b3455 started to use the component relation of partition map cache entry.

SPI_commit previously left it up to the caller to recover from any error occurring during commit. Since that's complicated and requires use of low-level xact.c facilities, it's not too surprising that no caller got it right. Let's move the responsibility for cleanup into spi.c. Doing that requires redefining SPI_commit as starting a new transaction, so that it becomes equivalent to SPI_commit_and_chain except that you get default transaction characteristics instead of preserving the prior transaction's characteristics. We can make this pretty transparent API-wise by redefining SPI_start_transaction() as a no-op. Callers that expect to do something in between might be surprised, but available evidence is that no callers do so. Having made that API redefinition, we can fix this mess by having SPI_commit[_and_chain] trap errors and start a new, clean transaction before re-throwing the error. Likewise for SPI_rollback[_and_chain]. Some cleanup is also needed in AtEOXact_SPI, which was nowhere near smart enough to deal with SPI contexts nested inside a committing context. While plperl and pltcl need no changes beyond removing their now-useless SPI_start_transaction() calls, plpython needs some more work because it hadn't gotten the memo about catching commit/rollback errors in the first place. Such an error resulted in longjmp'ing out of the Python interpreter, which leaks Python stack entries at present and is reported to crash Python 3.11 altogether. Add the missing logic to catch such errors and convert them into Python exceptions. This is a back-patch of commit 2e51781. That's now aged long enough to reduce the concerns about whether it will break something, and we do need to ensure that supported branches will work with Python 3.11.

If a cluster uses a non-core extension with a background worker that does not auto-restart, this could create a denial of service with respect to that background worker.

Since commit 6a2a70a, we've used signalfd() to receive latch wakeups when building with WAIT_USE_EPOLL (default for Linux and illumos), and our traditional self-pipe when falling back to WAIT_USE_POLL (default for other Unixes with neither epoll() nor kqueue()). Unexplained hangs and kernel panics have been reported on illumos systems, apparently linked to this use of signalfd(), leading illumos users and build farm members to have to define WAIT_USE_POLL explicitly as a work-around. A bug report exists at https://www.illumos.org/issues/13700 but no fix is available yet. Let's provide a way for illumos users to go back to self-pipes with epoll(), like releases before 14, and choose that by default. No change for Linux users. To help with development/debugging, macros WAIT_USE_{EPOLL,POLL} and WAIT_USE_{SIGNALFD,SELF_PIPE} can be defined explicitly to override the defaults.

TransactionIdIsInProgress had a fast path to return 'false' if the
single-item CLOG cache said that the transaction was known to be
committed. However, that was wrong, because a transaction is first
marked as committed in the CLOG but doesn't become visible to others
until it has removed its XID from the proc array. That could lead to an
error:
ERROR: t_xmin is uncommitted in tuple to be updated
or for an UPDATE to go ahead without blocking, before the previous
UPDATE on the same row was made visible.
The window is usually very short, but synchronous replication makes it
much wider, because the wait for synchronous replica happens in that
window.
Another thing that makes it hard to hit is that it's hard to get such
a commit-in-progress transaction into the single item CLOG cache.
Normally, if you call TransactionIdIsInProgress on such a transaction,
it determines that the XID is in progress without checking the CLOG
and without populating the cache. One way to prime the cache is to
explicitly call pg_xact_status() on the XID. Another way is to use a
lot of subtransactions, so that the subxid cache in the proc array is
overflown, making TransactionIdIsInProgress rely on pg_subtrans and
CLOG checks.
This has been broken ever since it was introduced in 2008, but the race
condition is very hard to hit, especially without synchronous
replication. There were a couple of reports of the error starting from
summer 2021, but no one was able to find the root cause then.
TransactionIdIsKnownCompleted() is now unused. In 'master', remove it,
but I left it in place in backbranches in case it's used by extensions.
Also change pg_xact_status() to check TransactionIdIsInProgress().
Previously, it only checked the CLOG, and returned "committed" before
the transaction was actually made visible to other queries. Note that
this also means that you cannot use pg_xact_status() to reproduce the
bug anymore, even if the code wasn't fixed.

the pg_xact_status() change added by me.

ecpglib has been calling it once per SQL query and once per EXEC SQL GET DESCRIPTOR. Instead, if newlocale() has not succeeded before, call it while establishing a connection. This mitigates three problems: - If newlocale() failed in EXEC SQL GET DESCRIPTOR, the command silently proceeded without the intended locale change. - On AIX, each newlocale()+freelocale() cycle leaked memory. - newlocale() CPU usage may have been nontrivial. Fail the connection attempt if newlocale() fails. Rearrange ecpg_do_prologue() to validate the connection before its uselocale(). The sort of program that may regress is one running in an environment where newlocale() fails. If that program establishes connections without running SQL statements, it will stop working in response to this change. I'm betting against the importance of such an ECPG use case. Most SQL execution (any using ECPGdo()) has long required newlocale() success, so there's little a connection could do without newlocale(). Back-patch to v10 (all supported versions).

We were going into IDLE state too soon when executing queries via PQsendQuery in pipeline mode, causing several scenarios to misbehave in different ways -- most notably, as reported by Daniele Varrazzo, that a warning message is produced by libpq: message type 0x33 arrived from server while idle But it is also possible, if queries are sent and results consumed not in lockstep, for the expected mediating NULL result values from PQgetResult to be lost (a problem which has not been reported, but which is more serious). Fix this by introducing two new concepts: one is a command queue element PGQUERY_CLOSE to tell libpq to wait for the CloseComplete server response to the Close message that is sent by PQsendQuery. Because the application is not expecting any PGresult from this, the mechanism to consume it is a bit hackish. The other concept, authored by Horiguchi-san, is a PGASYNC_PIPELINE_IDLE state for libpq's state machine to differentiate "really idle" from merely "the idle state that occurs in between reading results from the server for elements in the pipeline". This makes libpq not go fully IDLE when the libpq command queue contains entries; in normal cases, we only go IDLE once at the end of the pipeline, when the server response to the final SYNC message is received. (However, there are corner cases it doesn't fix, such as terminating the query sequence by PQsendFlushRequest instead of PQpipelineSync; this sort of scenario is what requires PGQUERY_CLOSE bit above.) This last bit helps make the libpq state machine clearer; in particular we can get rid of an ugly hack in pqParseInput3 to avoid considering IDLE as such when the command queue contains entries. A new test mode is added to libpq_pipeline.c to tickle some related problematic cases.

When we changed some built-in functions to use anycompatiblearray instead of anyarray, we created a dump/restore hazard for user-defined operators and aggregates relying on those functions: the user objects have to be modified to change their signatures similarly.

Justin Pryzby reported that some scenarios could cause gathering of extended statistics to spend many seconds in an un-cancelable qsort() operation. To fix, invent qsort_interruptible(), which is just like qsort_arg() except that it will also do CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS every so often. This bloats the backend by a couple of kB, which seems like a good investment. (We considered just enabling CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS in the existing qsort and qsort_arg functions, but there are some callers for which that'd demonstrably be unsafe. Opt-in seems like a better way.) For now, just apply qsort_interruptible() in statistics collection. There's probably more places where it could be useful, but we can always change other call sites as we find problems. Back-patch to v14. Before that we didn't have extended stats on expressions, so that the problem was less severe. Also, this patch depends on the sort_template infrastructure introduced in v14.

Due to lack of concern for the case in the dependency code, it's possible to drop a column of a composite type even though stored queries have references to the dropped column via functions-in-FROM that return the composite type. There are "soft" references, namely FROM-clause aliases for such columns, and "hard" references, that is actual Vars referring to them. The right fix for hard references is to add dependencies preventing the drop; something we've known for many years and not done (and this commit still doesn't address it). A "soft" reference shouldn't prevent a drop though. We've been around on this before (cf. 9b35ddc, 2c4debb), but nobody had noticed that the current behavior can result in dump/reload failures, because ruleutils.c can print more column aliases than the underlying composite type now has. So we need to rejigger the column-alias-handling code to treat such columns as dropped and not print aliases for them. Rather than writing new code for this, I used expandRTE() which already knows how to figure out which function result columns are dropped. I'd initially thought maybe we could use expandRTE() in all cases, but that fails for EXPLAIN's purposes, because the planner strips a lot of RTE infrastructure that expandRTE() needs. So this patch just uses it for unplanned function RTEs and otherwise does things the old way. If there is a hard reference (Var), then removing the column alias causes us to fail to print the Var, since there's no longer a name to print. Failing seems less desirable than printing a made-up name, so I made it print "?dropped?column?" instead. Per report from Timo Stolz. Back-patch to all supported branches.

It incorrectly used GetBufferDescriptor instead of GetLocalBufferDescriptor, causing it to not find the correct buffer in most cases, and performing an out-of-bounds memory read in the corner case that temp_buffers > shared_buffers. It also bumped the usage-count on the buffer, even if it was previously pinned. That won't lead to crashes or incorrect results, but it's different from what the shared-buffer case does, and different from the usual code in LocalBufferAlloc. Fix that too, and make the code ordering match LocalBufferAlloc() more closely, so that it's easier to verify that it's doing the same thing. Currently, ReadRecentBuffer() is only used with non-temp relations, in WAL redo, so the broken code is currently dead code. However, it could be used by extensions.

If this approach makes sense, we could also keep this PR and use it as the cherry-pick PR for the next release. |
same as #1567
