This covers all the SQL-standard trigger types supported for regular
tables; it does not cover constraint triggers. The approach for
acquiring the old row mirrors that for view INSTEAD OF triggers. For
AFTER ROW triggers, we spool the foreign tuples to a tuplestore.
This changes the FDW API contract; when deciding which columns to
populate in the slot returned from data modification callbacks, writable
FDWs will need to check for AFTER ROW triggers in addition to checking
for a RETURNING clause.
In support of the feature addition, refactor the TriggerFlags bits and
the assembly of old tuples in ModifyTable.

exclusion disregarding a CHECK constraint validated by an ALTER TABLE

The special feature the XLogInsert slots had over regular LWLocks is the
insertingAt value that was updated atomically with releasing backends
waiting on it. Add new functions to the LWLock API to do that, and replace
the slots with LWLocks. This reduces the amount of duplicated code.
(There's still some duplication, but at least it's all in lwlock.c now.)

The previous method was overly complex and underly correct; in particular,
by assigning the default value with PGC_S_OVERRIDE, it prevented later
attempts to change the setting in postgresql.conf, as noted by Jeff Janes.
We should just assign the default value with source PGC_S_DYNAMIC_DEFAULT,
which will have the desired priority relative to the boot_val as well as
user-set values.
There is still a gap in this method: if there's an explicit assignment of
effective_cache_size = -1 in the postgresql.conf file, and that assignment
appears before shared_buffers is assigned, the code will substitute 4 times
the bootstrap default for shared_buffers, and that value will then persist
(since it will have source PGC_S_FILE). I don't see any very nice way
to avoid that though, and it's not a case to be expected in practice.
The existing comments in guc-file.l look forward to a redesign of the
DYNAMIC_DEFAULT mechanism; if that ever happens, we should consider this
case as one of the things we'd like to improve.
With this in place, a session blocking behind another one because of
tuple locks will get a context line mentioning the relation name, tuple
TID, and operation being done on tuple. For example:
LOG: process 11367 still waiting for ShareLock on transaction 717 after 1000.108 ms
DETAIL: Process holding the lock: 11366. Wait queue: 11367.
CONTEXT: while updating tuple (0,2) in relation "foo"
STATEMENT: UPDATE foo SET value = 3;
Most usefully, the new line is displayed by log entries due to
log_lock_waits, although of course it will be printed by any other log
message as well.

For a regex containing backrefs, pg_regexec() might fail to free all the

587359479a. Per report from Sandro Santilli;

It is no longer used, none of the resource managers have multi-record

Also don't allow rm_cleanup to write WAL records, it's also no longer
required. Move the call to rm_cleanup routines to make it more symmetric
with rm_startup.
Splitting a page consists of two separate steps: splitting the child page,
and inserting the downlink for the new right page to the parent. Previously,
we handled the case that you crash in between those steps with a cleanup
routine after the WAL recovery had finished, which finished the incomplete
split. However, that doesn't help if the page split is interrupted but the
database doesn't crash, so that you don't perform WAL recovery. That could
happen for example if you run out of disk space.
Remove the end-of-recovery cleanup step. Instead, when a page is split, the
left page is marked with a new INCOMPLETE_SPLIT flag, and when the downlink
is inserted to the parent, the flag is cleared again. If an insertion sees
a page with the flag set, it knows that the split was interrupted for some
reason, and inserts the missing downlink before proceeding.
I used the same approach to fix GIN and GiST split algorithms earlier. This
was the last WAL cleanup routine, so we could get rid of that whole
machinery now, but I'll leave that for a separate patch.

One path through the loop over indexes forgot to do index_close(). Rather

Per report from YAMAMOTO Takashi, though this is a bit different from his

Revise the original decision to expose a uint64-based interface and
use Size everywhere possible. Avoid assuming that MAXIMUM_ALIGNOF is
8, or making any assumption about the relationship between that value
and sizeof(Size). If MAXIMUM_ALIGNOF is bigger, we'll now insert
padding after the length word; if it's smaller, we are now prepared
to read and write the length word in chunks.

The new function dsm_detach_all() can be used either by postmaster
children that don't wish to take any risk of accidentally corrupting
shared memory; or by forked children of regular backends with

already do PGSharedMemoryDetach() to do dsm_detach_all() as well.

The recently-fixed bug in WAL replay could result in not finding a parent
tuple for a heap-only tuple. The existing code would either Assert or
generate an invalid index entry, neither of which is desirable. Throw a
regular error instead.
On clean shutdown, walsender waits for all WAL to be replicated to a standby,
and exits. It determined whether that replication had been completed by
checking whether its sent location had been equal to a standby's flush
location. Unfortunately this condition never becomes true when the standby
such as pg_receivexlog which always returns an invalid flush location is
connecting to walsender, and then walsender waits forever.
This commit changes walsender so that it just checks a standby's write
location if a flush location is invalid.
Back-patch to 9.1 where enough infrastructure for this exists.
I discovered the hard way that on some old shells, the locution

FOO=""; unset FOO

spelling it different ways on adjacent lines.
This got broken relatively recently, in commit c737a2e56, so the lack of
field reports to date doesn't represent a lot of evidence that the problem
is rare.
"8" was correct back when "disable" was the longest allowed value, but
since "verify-full" was added, it should be "12". Given the lack of
complaints, I wouldn't be surprised if nobody is actually using these
values ... but still, if they're in the API, they should be right.
Noticed while pursuing a different problem. It's been wrong for quite

Noted by Stephen Frost, though a different solution than his suggestion
In short, we don't allow a page to be deleted if it's the rightmost child
of its parent, but that situation can change after we check for it.
Problem
-------
We check that the page to be deleted is not the rightmost child of its
parent, and then lock its left sibling, the page itself, its right sibling,
and the parent, in that order. However, if the parent page is split after
the check but before acquiring the locks, the target page might become the
rightmost child, if the split happens at the right place. That leads to an
error in vacuum (I reproduced this by setting a breakpoint in debugger):
ERROR: failed to delete rightmost child 41 of block 3 in index "foo_pkey"
We currently re-check that the page is still the rightmost child, and throw
the above error if it's not. We could easily just give up rather than throw
an error, but that approach doesn't scale to half-dead pages. To recap,
although we don't normally allow deleting the rightmost child, if the page
is the *only* child of its parent, we delete the child page and mark the
parent page as half-dead in one atomic operation. But before we do that, we
check that the parent can later be deleted, by checking that it in turn is
not the rightmost child of the grandparent (potentially recursing all the
way up to the root). But the same situation can arise there - the
grandparent can be split while we're not holding the locks. We end up with
a half-dead page that we cannot delete.
To make things worse, the keyspace of the deleted page has already been
transferred to its right sibling. As the README points out, the keyspace at
the grandparent level is "out-of-whack" until the half-dead page is deleted,
and if enough tuples with keys in the transferred keyspace are inserted, the
page might get split and a downlink might be inserted into the grandparent
that is out-of-order. That might not cause any serious problem if it's
transient (as the README ponders), but is surely bad if it stays that way.
Solution
--------
This patch changes the page deletion algorithm to avoid that problem. After
checking that the topmost page in the chain of to-be-deleted pages is not
the rightmost child of its parent, and then deleting the pages from bottom
up, unlink the pages from top to bottom. This way, the intermediate stages
are similar to the intermediate stages in page splitting, and there is no
transient stage where the keyspace is "out-of-whack". The topmost page in
the to-be-deleted chain doesn't have a downlink pointing to it, like a page
split before the downlink has been inserted.
This also allows us to get rid of the cleanup step after WAL recovery, if we
crash during page deletion. The deletion will be continued at next VACUUM,
but the tree is consistent for searches and insertions at every step.
This bug is old, all supported versions are affected, but this patch is too
big to back-patch (and changes the WAL record formats of related records).
We have not heard any reports of the bug from users, so clearly it's not
easy to bump into. Maybe backpatch later, after this has had some field
testing.

Arguably, the real problem here is auth.c's willingness to turn on
ImmediateInterruptOK while executing fairly wide swaths of backend code.
We may well need to work at narrowing the code ranges in which the
authentication_timeout interrupt is enabled. For the moment, though,
this is a cheap and reasonably noninvasive fix for a field-reported
failure; the other approach would be complex and not necessarily
bug-free itself.

Previously, psql would print the "COPY nnn" command status only for COPY
commands executed server-side. Now it will print that for frontend copies
too (including \copy). However, we continue to suppress the command status
for COPY TO STDOUT, since in that case the copy data has been routed to the
same place that the command status would go, and there is a risk of the
status line being mistaken for another line of COPY data. Doing that would
break existing scripts, and it doesn't seem worth the benefit --- this case
seems fairly analogous to SELECT, for which we also suppress the command
status.

Use TransactionIdIsInProgress, then TransactionIdDidCommit, to distinguish
whether a NOTIFY message's originating transaction is in progress,
committed, or aborted. The previous coding could accept a message from a
transaction that was still in-progress according to the PGPROC array;
if the client were fast enough at starting a new transaction, it might fail
to see table rows added/updated by the message-sending transaction. Which
of course would usually be the point of receiving the message. We noted
this type of race condition long ago in tqual.c, but async.c overlooked it.
The race condition probably cannot occur unless there are multiple NOTIFY
senders in action, since an individual backend doesn't send NOTIFY signals
until well after it's done committing. But if two senders commit in close
succession, it's certainly possible that we could see the second sender's
message within the race condition window while responding to the signal
from the first one.
Per bug #9557 from Marko Tiikkaja. This patch is slightly more invasive
than what he proposed, since it removes the now-redundant
TransactionIdDidAbort call.
Back-patch to 9.0, where the current NOTIFY implementation was introduced.
