2025-06-21Doc: improve documentation about width_bucket().Tom Lane
Specify whether the bucket bounds are inclusive or exclusive, and improve some other vague language. Explain the behavior that occurs when the "low" bound is greater than the "high" bound. Make width_bucket_numeric's comment more like that for width_bucket_float8, in particular noting that infinite bounds are rejected (since they became possible in v14).

2025-06-20Remove planner's have_dangerous_phv() join-order restriction.Tom Lane
Commit 85e5e222b, which added (a forerunner of) this logic, argued that Adding the necessary complexity to make this work doesn't seem like it would be repaid in significantly better plans, because in cases where such a PHV exists, there is probably a corresponding join order constraint that would allow a good plan to be found without using the star-schema exception. The flaw in this claim is that there may be other join-order restrictions that prevent us from finding a join order that doesn't involve a "dangerous" PHV. In particular we now recognize that small join_collapse_limit or from_collapse_limit could prevent it. Therefore, let's bite the bullet and make the case work. We don't have to extend the executor's support for nestloop parameters as I thought at the time, because we can instead push the evaluation of the placeholder's expression into the left-hand input of the NestLoop node. So there's not really a lot of downside to this solution, and giving the planner more join-order flexibility should have value beyond just avoiding failure. Having said that, there surely is a nonzero risk of introducing new bugs. Since this failure mode escaped detection for ten years, such cases don't seem common enough to justify a lot of risk. Therefore, let's put this fix into master but leave the back branches alone (for now anyway).

2025-06-20Use SnapshotDirty when checking for conflicting index names.Tom Lane
While choosing an autogenerated name for an index, look for pre-existing relations using a SnapshotDirty snapshot, instead of the previous behavior that considered only committed-good pg_class rows. This allows us to detect and avoid conflicts against indexes that are still being built. It's still possible to fail due to a race condition, but the window is now just the amount of time that it takes DefineIndex to validate all its parameters, call smgrcreate(), and enter the index's pg_class row. Formerly the race window covered the entire time needed to create and fill an index, which could be very long if the table is large. Worse, if the conflicting index creation is part of a larger transaction, it wouldn't be visible till COMMIT. So this isn't a complete solution, but it should greatly ameliorate the problem, and the patch is simple enough to be back-patchable. It might at some point be useful to do the same for pg_constraint entries (cf. ChooseConstraintName, ConstraintNameExists, and related functions). However, in the absence of field complaints, I'll leave that alone for now. The relation-name test should be good enough for index-based constraints, while foreign-key constraints seem to be okay since they require exclusive locks to create.

2025-06-19Improve runtime and output of tests for replication slots checkpointing.Alexander Korotkov
The TAP tests that verify logical and physical replication slot behavior during checkpoints (046_checkpoint_logical_slot.pl and 047_checkpoint_physical_slot.pl) inserted two batches of 2 million rows each, generating approximately 520 MB of WAL. On slow machines, or when compiled with '-DRELCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE -DCATCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE', this caused the tests to run for 8-9 minutes and occasionally time out, as seen on the buildfarm animal prion. This commit modifies the mentioned tests to utilize the $node->advance_wal() function, thereby reducing runtime. Once we do not use the generated data, the proposed function is a good alternative, which cuts the total wall-clock run time. While here, remove superfluous '\n' characters from several note() calls; these appeared literally in the build-farm logs and looked odd. Also, remove excessive 'shared_preload_libraries' GUC from the config and add a check for 'injection_points' extension availability.

2025-06-17amcheck: Fix checks of entry order for GIN indexesTomas Vondra
This tightens a couple checks in checking GIN indexes, which might have resulted in incorrect results (false positives/negatives). * The code skipped ordering checks if the entries were for different attributes (for multi-column GIN indexes), possibly missing some cases of data corruption. But the attribute number is part of the ordering, so we can check that. * The root page was skipped when checking entry order, but that is unnecessary. The root page is subject to the same ordering rules, we can process it just like any other page. * The high key on the right-most page was not checked, but that is needed only for inner pages (we don't store the high key for those). For leaf pages we can check the high key just fine. * Correct the detection of split pages. If the page gets split, the cached parent key is greater than the current child key (not less, as the code incorrectly expected). Issues reported by Arseniy Mukhin, along with a proposed patch.

2025-06-17Fix re-distributing previously distributed invalidation messages during ↵Masahiko Sawada
logical decoding. Commit 4909b38af0 introduced logic to distribute invalidation messages from catalog-modifying transactions to all concurrent in-progress transactions. However, since each transaction distributes not only its original invalidation messages but also previously distributed messages to other transactions, this leads to an exponential increase in allocation request size for invalidation messages, ultimately causing memory allocation failure. This commit fixes this issue by tracking distributed invalidation messages separately per decoded transaction and not redistributing these messages to other in-progress transactions. The maximum size of distributed invalidation messages that one transaction can store is limited to MAX_DISTR_INVAL_MSG_PER_TXN (8MB). Once the size of the distributed invalidation messages exceeds this threshold, we invalidate all caches in locations where distributed invalidation messages need to be executed. Back-patch to all supported versions where we introduced the fix by commit 4909b38af0. Note that this commit adds two new fields to ReorderBufferTXN to store the distributed transactions. This change breaks ABI compatibility in back branches, affecting third-party extensions that depend on the size of the ReorderBufferTXN struct, though this scenario seems unlikely. Additionally, it adds a new flag to the txn_flags field of ReorderBufferTXN to indicate distributed invalidation message overflow. This should not affect existing implementations, as it is unlikely that third-party extensions use unused bits in the txn_flags field.

2025-06-16aio: Add missing memory barrier when waiting for IO handleAndres Freund
Previously there was no memory barrier enforcing correct memory ordering when waiting for a free IO handle. However, in the much more common case of waiting for IO to complete, memory barriers already were present. On strongly ordered architectures like x86 this had no negative consequences, but on some armv8 hardware (observed on Apple hardware), it was possible for the update, in the IO worker, to PgAioHandle->state to become visible before ->distilled_result becoming visible, leading to rather confusing assertion failures. The failures were rare enough that the bug sometimes took days to reproduce when running 027_stream_regress in a loop. Once finally debugged, it was easy enough to come up with a much quicker repro: Trigger a lot of very fast IO by limiting io_combine_limit to 1 and ensure that we always have to wait for a free handle by setting io_max_concurrency to 1. Triggering lots of concurrent seqscans in that setup triggers the issue within seconds. One reason this was hard to debug was that the assertion failure most commonly happened in WaitReadBuffers(), rather than in the AIO subsystem itself. The assertions added in this commit make problems like this easier to understand. Also add a comment to the IO worker explaining that we rely on the lwlock acquisition for correct memory ordering. I think it'd be good to add a tap test that stress tests buffer IO, but that's material for a separate patch. Thanks a lot to Alexander and Konstantin for all the debugging help.

2025-06-15Sync typedefs.list with the buildfarm.Tom Lane
Our maintenance of typedefs.list has been a little haphazard (and apparently we can't alphabetize worth a darn). Replace the file with the authoritative list from our buildfarm, and run pgindent using that. I also updated the additions/exclusions lists in pgindent where necessary to keep pgindent from messing things up significantly. Notably, now that regex_t and some related names are macros not real typedefs, we have to whitelist them explicitly. The exclusions list has also drifted noticeably, presumably due to changes of system headers on the buildfarm animals that contribute to the list. Unlike in prior years, I've not manually added typedef names that are missing from the buildfarm's list because they are not used to declare any variables or fields. So there are a few places where the typedef declaration itself is formatted worse than before, e.g. typedef enum IoMethod. I could preserve the names that were manually added to the list previously, but I'd really prefer to find a less manual way of dealing with these cases. A quick grep finds about 75 such symbols, most of which have never gotten any special treatment. Per discussion among pgsql-release, doing this now seems appropriate even though we're still a week or two away from making the v18 branch.

This commit updates \conninfo to display the full protocol version (e.g., 3.2). Since support for new version 3.2 was added in v18, and the server supports both 3.0 and 3.2, showing the complete version helps users understand exactly which protocol version the current session is using. Although this is a minor behavior change, it's considered a fix for an oversight in the original patch and is included in v18. Author: Fujii Masao <masao.fujii@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: David G.

2025-06-14Add TAP tests to check replication slot advance during the checkpointAlexander Korotkov
The new tests verify that logical and physical replication slots are still valid after an immediate restart on checkpoint completion when the slot was advanced during the checkpoint. This commit introduces two new injection points to make these tests possible: * checkpoint-before-old-wal-removal - triggered in the checkpointer process just before old WAL segments cleanup; * logical-replication-slot-advance-segment - triggered in LogicalConfirmReceivedLocation() when restart_lsn was changed enough to point to the next WAL segment.

2025-06-14Keep WAL segments by slot's last saved restart LSNAlexander Korotkov
The patch fixes the issue with the unexpected removal of old WAL segments after checkpoint, followed by an immediate restart. The issue occurs when a slot is advanced after the start of the checkpoint and before old WAL segments are removed at the end of the checkpoint. The patch introduces a new in-memory state for slots: last_saved_restart_lsn, which is used to calculate the oldest LSN for removing WAL segments. This state is updated every time with the current restart_lsn at the moment when the slot is saved to disk. This fix changes the shared memory layout. It's applied to HEAD only because we don't have to preserve ABI compatibility during the beta stage. Another fix that doesn't affect the ABI is committed to back branches.

2025-06-13nbtree: _bt_readnextpage doesn't affect markPos.Peter Geoghegan
_bt_readnextpage expects so->currPos.buf to be InvalidBuffer (and for the position's page to be unlocked) when called. However, it does not expect there to be no pins held on any page. In particular, so->markPos might hold a separate pin, both before and after the call. Fix some comments that seemed to suggest otherwise. Follow-up commit to commit 7c319f54, which made _bt_killitems drop pins it acquired itself.

2025-06-13psql: Forbid use of COPY and \copy while in a pipelineMichael Paquier
Running COPY within a pipeline can break protocol synchronization in multiple ways. psql is limited in terms of result processing if mixing COPY commands with normal queries while controlling a pipeline with the new meta-commands, as an effect of the following reasons: - In COPY mode, the backend ignores additional Sync messages and will not send a matching ReadyForQuery expected by the frontend. Doing a \syncpipeline just after COPY will leave the frontend waiting for a ReadyForQuery message that won't be sent, leaving psql out-of-sync. - libpq automatically sends a Sync with the Copy message which is not tracked in the command queue, creating an unexpected synchronisation point that psql cannot really know about. While it is possible to track such activity for a \copy, this cannot really be done sanely with plain COPY queries. Backend failures during a COPY would leave the pipeline in an aborted state while the backend would be in a clean state, ready to process commands. At the end, fixing those issues would require modifications in how libpq handles pipeline and COPY. So, rather than implementing workarounds in psql to shortcut the libpq internals (with command queue handling for one), and because meta-commands for pipelines in psql are a new feature with COPY in a pipeline having a limited impact compared to other queries, this commit forbids the use of COPY within a pipeline to avoid possible break of protocol synchronisation within psql. If there is a use-case for COPY support within pipelines in libpq, this could always be added in the future, if necessary. Most of the changes of this commit impacts the tests for psql pipelines, removing the tests related to COPY. Some TAP tests still exist for COPY TO/FROM and \copy to/from, to check that that connections are aborted when this operation is attempted.
