Good idea. I've updated the comment. I also explain why this new
approach works in the commit message and reference the commit which
added the previous approach.

Ah, yes. Now that it has two callers, and since it is exclusively an
output parameter, it is quite ugly to initialize it in both callers.
Fixed in the attached.

I have changed this.

I've investigated vacuumlazy.c and pruneheap.c and looked at the
commit that added the retry loop (8523492d4e349) to see everywhere it
added comments and don't see anywhere else that needs updating.

I have updated lazy_scan_prune()'s function header comment to describe
the nature of the in-out and output parameters and the contract.

Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] Rebrand LVPagePruneState as PruneResult

With this rename, and relocation to heapam.h, we can use PruneResult as
an output parameter for on-access pruning as well. It also makes it
harder to confuse with PruneState.

We'll be adding and removing PruneResult fields in future commits, but
this rename and relocation is separate to make the diff easier to
understand.

Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] Reuse heap_page_prune() tuple visibility statuses

heap_page_prune() obtains the HTSV_Result (tuple visibility status)
returned from HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum() for every tuple on the page and
stores them in an array. By making this array available to
heap_page_prune()'s caller lazy_scan_prune(), we can avoid an additional
call to HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum() when freezing the tuples and
recording LP_DEAD items for vacuum. This saves resources and eliminates
the possibility that vacuuming corrupted data results in a hang due to
endless retry looping.

This replaces the retry mechanism introduced in 8523492d4 to handle cases in
which a tuple's inserting transaction aborted between the visibility check in
heap_page_prune() and lazy_scan_prune()'s call to HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum() --
rendering it dead but without a dead line pointer. We can instead reuse the
tuple's original visibility status, circumventing any disagreements.

We pass the HTSV array from heap_page_prune() back to lazy_scan_prune() in
PruneResult. It is convenient to move heap_page_prune()'s other output
parameters into the PruneResult.

I spent a bunch of time today looking at this, thinking maybe I could
commit it. But then I got cold feet.

With these patches applied, PruneResult ends up being declared in
heapam.h, with a comment that says /* State returned from pruning */.
But that comment isn't accurate. The two new members that get added to
the structure by 0002, namely nnewlpdead and htsv, are in fact state
that is returned from pruning. But the other 5 members aren't. They're
just initialized to constant values by pruning and then filled in for
real by the vacuum logic. That's extremely weird. It would be fine if
heap_page_prune() just grew a new output argument that only returned
the HTSV results, or perhaps it could make sense to bundle any
existing out parameters together into a struct and then add new things
to that struct instead of adding even more parameters to the function
itself. But there doesn't seem to be any good reason to muddle
together the new output parameters for heap_page_prune() with a bunch
of state that is currently internal to vacuumlazy.c.

I realize that the shape of the patches probably stems from the fact
that they started out life as part of a bigger patch set. But to be
committed independently, they need to be shaped in a way that makes
sense independently, and I don't think this qualifies. On the plus
side, it seems to me that it's probably not that much work to fix this
issue and that the result would likely be a smaller patch than what
you have now, which is something.

Yeah, I think this is a fair concern. I have addressed it in the
attached patches.

I thought a lot about whether or not adding a PruneResult which
contains only the output parameters and result of heap_page_prune() is
annoying since we have so many other *Prune* data structures. I
decided it's not annoying. In some cases, four outputs don't merit a
new structure. In this case, I think it declutters the code a bit --
independent of any other patches I may be writing :)

Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] Move heap_page_prune output parameters into struct

Add PruneResult, a structure containing the output parameters and result
of heap_page_prune(). Reorganizing the results of heap_page_prune() into
a struct simplifies the function signature and provides a location for
future commits to store additional output parameters.

Note that heap_page_prune() no longer NULL checks off_loc, the current
tuple's offset in the line pointer array. It will never be NULL now that
it is a member of a required output parameter, PruneResult.

Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAAKRu_br124qsGJieuYA0nGjywEukhK1dKBfRdby_4yY3E9SXA%40mail.gmail.com

Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] Reuse heap_page_prune() tuple visibility statuses

heap_page_prune() obtains the HTSV_Result (tuple visibility status)
returned from HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum() for every tuple on the page and
stores them in an array. By making this array available to
heap_page_prune()'s caller lazy_scan_prune(), we can avoid an additional
call to HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum() when freezing the tuples and
recording LP_DEAD items for vacuum. This saves resources and eliminates
the possibility that vacuuming corrupted data results in a hang due to
endless retry looping.

This replaces the retry mechanism introduced in 8523492d4 to handle cases in
which a tuple's inserting transaction aborted between the visibility check in
heap_page_prune() and lazy_scan_prune()'s call to HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum() --
rendering it dead but without a dead line pointer. We can instead reuse the
tuple's original visibility status, circumventing any disagreements.

I took a look at 0001 and I think that it's incorrect. In the existing
code, *off_loc gets updated before each call to
heap_prune_satisfies_vacuum(). This means that if an error occurs in
heap_prune_satisfies_vacuum(), *off_loc will as of that moment contain
the relevant offset number. In your version, the relevant offset
number will only be stored in some local structure to which the caller
doesn't yet have access. The difference is meaningful. lazy_scan_prune
passes off_loc as vacrel->offnum, which means that if an error
happens, vacrel->offnum will have the right value, and so when the
error context callback installed by heap_vacuum_rel() fires, namely
vacuum_error_callback(), it can look at vacrel->offnum and know where
the error happened. With your patch, I think that would no longer
work.

I haven't run the regression suite with 0001 applied. I'm guessing
that you did, and that they passed, which if true means that we don't
have a test for this, which is a shame, although writing such a test
might be a bit tricky. If there is a test case for this and you didn't
run it, woops. This is also why I think it's *extremely* important for
the header comment of a function that takes pointer parameters to
document the semantics of those pointers. Normally they are in
parameters or out parameters or in-out parameters, but here it's
something even more complicated. The existing header comment says
"off_loc is the offset location required by the caller to use in error
callback," which I didn't really understand until I actually looked at
what the code is doing, so I consider that somebody could've done a
better job writing this comment, but in theory you could've also
noticed that, at least AFAICS, there's no way for the function to
return with *off_loc set to anything other than InvalidOffsetNumber.
That means that the statements which set *off_loc to other values must
have some other purpose.

You are right. That is a major problem. Thank you for finding that. I
was able to confirm the breakage by patching in an error to
heap_page_prune() after we have set off_loc and confirming that the
error context has the offset in master and is missing it with my patch
applied.

I can fix it by changing the type of PruneResult->off_loc to be an
OffsetNumber pointer. This does mean that PruneResult will be
initialized partially by heap_page_prune() callers. I wonder if you
think that undermines the case for making a new struct.

I still want to eliminate the NULL check of off_loc in
heap_page_prune() by making it a required parameter. Even though
on-access pruning does not have an error callback mechanism which uses
the offset, it seems better to have a pointless local variable in
heap_page_prune_opt() than to do a NULL check for every tuple pruned.

There is no test coverage for the vacuum error callback context
currently (tests passed for me). I looked into how we might add such a
test. First, I investigated what kind of errors might occur during
heap_prune_satisfies_vacuum(). Some of the multixact functions called

I think that it undermines the case for including that particular
argument in the struct. It's not really a Prune*Result* if the caller
initializes it in part. It seems fairly reasonable to still have a
PruneResult struct for the other stuff, though, at least to me. How do
you see it?

(One could also argue that this is a somewhat more byzantine way of
doing error reporting than would be desirable, but fixing that problem
doesn't seem too straightforward so perhaps it's prudent to leave it
well enough alone.)

It doesn't seem important to me unless it improves performance. If
it's just stylistic, I don't object, but I also don't really see a
reason to care.

004_verify_heapam.pl has some tests that intentionally corrupt pages
and then use pg_amcheck to detect the corruption. Such an approach
could probably also be used here. But it's a pain to get such tests
right, because any change to the page format due to endianness,
different block size, or whatever can make carefully-written tests go
boom.

Yes, I think off_loc probably didn't belong in PruneResult to begin with.
It is inherently not a result of pruning since it will only be used in
the event that pruning doesn't complete (it errors out).

In the attached v4 patch set, I have both PruneResult and off_loc as
parameters to heap_page_prune(). I have also added a separate commit
which adds comments both above heap_page_prune()'s call site in
lazy_scan_prune() and in the heap_page_prune() function header
clarifying the various points we discussed.

I did some performance testing but, as expected, I couldn't concoct a
scenario where the overhead was noticeable in a profile. So much else
is happening in that code, the NULL check basically doesn't matter
(even though it isn't optimized out).

I mostly wanted to remove the NULL checks because I found them
distracting (so, a stylistic complaint). However, upon further
reflection, I actually think it is better if heap_page_prune_opt()
passes NULL. heap_page_prune() has no error callback mechanism that
could use it, and passing a valid value implies otherwise. Also, as
you said, off_loc will always be InvalidOffsetNumber when
heap_page_prune() returns normally, so having heap_page_prune_opt()
pass a dummy value might actually be more confusing for future
programmers.

Cool! I hadn't examined how these tests work until now. I took a stab
at writing a test in the existing 0004_verify_heapam.pl. The simplest
thing would be if we could just vacuum the corrupted table ("test")
after running pg_amcheck and compare the error context to our
expectation. I found that this didn't work, though. In an assert
build, vacuum trips an assert before it hits an error while vacuuming
a corrupted tuple in the "test" table. There might be a way of
modifying the existing test code to avoid this, but I tried the next
easiest thing -- corrupting a tuple in the other existing table in the
file, "junk". This is possible to do, but we have to repeat a lot of
the setup code done for the "test" table to get the line pointer array
and loop through and corrupt a tuple. In order to do this well, I
would want to refactor some of the boilerplate into a function. There
are other fiddly bits as well that I needed to consider. I think a
test like this could be useful coverage of the some of the possible
errors that could happen in heap_prune_satisfies_vacuum(), but it
definitely isn't coverage of pg_amcheck (and thus shouldn't go in that
file) and a whole new test which spins up a Postgres to cover
vacuum_error_callback() seemed like a bit much.

Subject: [PATCH v4 2/3] Move heap_page_prune output parameters into struct

Add PruneResult, a structure containing the output parameters and result
of heap_page_prune(). Reorganizing the results of heap_page_prune() into
a struct simplifies the function signature and provides a location for
future commits to store additional output parameters.

Subject: [PATCH v4 3/3] Reuse heap_page_prune() tuple visibility statuses

heap_page_prune() obtains the HTSV_Result (tuple visibility status)
returned from HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum() for every tuple on the page and
stores them in an array. By making this array available to
heap_page_prune()'s caller lazy_scan_prune(), we can avoid an additional
call to HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum() when freezing the tuples and
recording LP_DEAD items for vacuum. This saves resources and eliminates
the possibility that vacuuming corrupted data results in a hang due to
endless retry looping.

This replaces the retry mechanism introduced in 8523492d4 to handle cases in
which a tuple's inserting transaction aborted between the visibility check in
heap_page_prune() and lazy_scan_prune()'s call to HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum() --
rendering it dead but without a dead line pointer. We can instead reuse the
tuple's original visibility status, circumventing any disagreements.

Subject: [PATCH v4 1/3] Clarify usage of heap_page_prune parameter off_loc

heap_page_prune() takes an optional parameter, off_loc, where it saves
the current offset while pruning. Vacuum passes the address of
vacrel->offnum, which is used by vacuum_error_callback() to populate the
error context message. On-access pruning has no such callback mechanism,
so it passes NULL. When off_loc is not provided the error message
context simply omits the offset. Because vacrel->offnum is specifically
used by vacuum_error_callback(), it is required that it be passed to
heap_page_prune() for the error message to be correctly populated.
Clarify this requirement in a comment in lazy_scan_prune() before
calling heap_page_prune().

While we are at it, provide some additional detail about off_loc in
heap_page_prune()'s function header comment.

I'll look at the new patches more next week, but I wanted to comment
on this point. I think this is kind of six of one, half a dozen of the
other. It's not that hard to spot a variable that's only used in a
function call and never initialized beforehand or used afterward, and
if someone really feels the need to hammer home the point, they could
always name it dummy or dummy_loc or whatever. So this point doesn't
really carry a lot of weight with me. I actually think that the
proposed change is probably better, but it seems like such a minor
improvement that I get slightly reluctant to make it, only because
churning the source code for arguable points sometimes annoys other
developers.

But I also had the thought that maybe it wouldn't be such a terrible
idea if heap_page_prune_opt() actually used off_loc for some error
reporting goodness. I mean, if HOT pruning fails, and we don't get the
detail as to which tuple caused the failure, we can always run VACUUM
and it will give us that information, assuming of course that the same
failure happens again. But is there any reason why HOT pruning
shouldn't include that error detail? If it did, then off_loc would be
passed by all callers, at which point we surely would want to get rid
of the branches.

This is a good idea. I will work on a separate patch set to add an
error context callback for on-access HOT pruning.

I think it might be worth making the names a bit less ambiguous than they
were. It's a bit odd that one has "new" in the name, the other doesn't,
despite both being about newly marked things. And "deleted" seems somewhat
ambiguous, it could also be understood as marking things LP_DEAD. Maybe
nnewunused?

Hm, do we really want to pass this explicitly to a bunch of functions? Seems
like it might be better to either pass the PruneResult around or to have a
pointer in PruneState?

I think we should assert that we have a valid HTSV_Result here, i.e. not
-1. You could wrap the cast and Assert into an inline funciton as well.

I like it the better the way Melanie did it. The current name may not
be for the best, but that can be changed some other time, in a
separate patch, if someone likes. For now, changing the name seems
like a can of worms we don't need to open; the existing names have
precedent on their side if nothing else.

As far as I can see, 0002 adds it to one function (heap_page_pune) and
0003 adds it to one more (heap_prune_chain). That's not much of a
bunch.

This isn't a bad idea, although I don't find it completely necessary either.

I didn't read this carefully enough. Actually, heap_prune_chain() is
the *only* function that gets int8 *htsv as an argument. I don't
understand how that's a bunch ... unless there are later patches not
shown here that you're worried abot. What happens in 0002 is a
function getting PruneResult * as an argument, not int8 *htsv.

Honestly I think 0002 and 0003 are ready to commit, if you're not too
opposed to them, or if we can find some relatively small changes that
would address your objections.

Attached v5 does this. Even though a value of -1 would hit the default
switch case and error out, I can see the argument for this validation
-- as all other places switching on an HTSV_Result are doing so on a
value which was always an HTSV_Result.

Once I started writing the function comment, however, I felt a bit
awkward. In order to make the function available to both pruneheap.c
and vacuumlazy.c, I had to put it in a header file. Writing a
function, available to anyone including heapam.h, which takes an int
and returns an HTSV_Result feels a bit odd. Do we want it to be common
practice to use an int value outside the valid enum range to store
"status not yet computed" for HTSV_Results?

Anyway, on a tactical note, I added the inline function to heapam.h
below the PruneResult definition since it is fairly tightly coupled to
the htsv array in PruneResult. All of the function prototypes are
under a comment that says "function prototypes for heap access method"
-- which didn't feel like an accurate description of this function. I
wonder if it makes sense to have pruneheap.c include vacuum.h and move
pruning specific stuff like this helper and PruneResult over there? I
can't remember why I didn't do this before, but maybe there is a
reason not to? I also wasn't sure if I needed to forward declare the
inline function or not.

Oh, and, one more note. I've dropped the former patch 0001 which
changed the function comment about off_loc above heap_page_prune(). I
have plans to write a separate patch adding an error context callback
for HOT pruning with the offset number and would include such a change
in that patch.

Subject: [PATCH v5 2/2] Reuse heap_page_prune() tuple visibility statuses

heap_page_prune() obtains the HTSV_Result (tuple visibility status)
returned from HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum() for every tuple on the page and
stores them in an array. By making this array available to
heap_page_prune()'s caller lazy_scan_prune(), we can avoid an additional
call to HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum() when freezing the tuples and
recording LP_DEAD items for vacuum. This saves resources and eliminates
the possibility that vacuuming corrupted data results in a hang due to
endless retry looping.

This replaces the retry mechanism introduced in 8523492d4 to handle cases in
which a tuple's inserting transaction aborted between the visibility check in
heap_page_prune() and lazy_scan_prune()'s call to HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum() --
rendering it dead but without a dead line pointer. We can instead reuse the
tuple's original visibility status, circumventing any disagreements.

Subject: [PATCH v5 1/2] Move heap_page_prune output parameters into struct

Add PruneResult, a structure containing the output parameters and result
of heap_page_prune(). Reorganizing the results of heap_page_prune() into
a struct simplifies the function signature and provides a location for
future commits to store additional output parameters.

I noticed the awkwardness of that return convention when I reviewed
the first version of this patch, but I decided it wasn't worth
spending time discussing. To avoid it, we'd either need to add a new
HTSV_Result that is only used here, or add a new type
HTSV_Result_With_An_Extra_Value and translate between the two, or pass
back a boolean + an enum instead of an array of int8. And all of those
seem to me to suck -- the first two are messy and the third would make
the return value much wider. So, no, I don't really like this, but
also, what would actually be any better? Also, IMV at least, it's more
of an issue of it being sort of ugly than of anything becoming common
practice, because how many callers of heap_page_prune() are there ever
going to be? AFAIK, we've only ever had two since forever, and even if
we grow one or two more at some point, that's still not that many.

I went ahead and committed 0001. If Andres still wants to push for
more renaming there, that can be a follow-up patch. And we can see if
he or anyone else has any comments on this new version of 0002. To me
we're down into the level of details that probably don't matter very
much one way or the other, but others may disagree.

Yep. I have been procrastinating on swapping all this back into my
brain. I'll start working on it today. I think I just take the
reverted test and make the UPDATE a DELETE, set mwm 64 kB, make the
table have 9000 rows and maybe consider using your:

delete from test where ctid::text like '%,2__)';

But, unfortunately, to be able to commit it, I'll have to remember
everything about this. I'll begin now...

(Swapping this part back in my brain as well...) I actually don't
think we need that where clause anymore since mwm can be super low
now, and it's a bit mysterious what it was trying to accomplish. Maybe
we can just use the lowest fill factor to reduce WAL -- having a few
dozen pages should push it over the memory limit, regardless of how
many dead tuples are on each pages.

Test in attached patch seems to do the job on 32 bit and 64 bit when tested.

Subject: [PATCH] Test that vacuum removes tuples older than OldestXmin

If vacuum fails to prune a tuple killed before OldestXmin, it will
decide to freeze its xmax and later error out in pre-freeze checks.

Add a test reproducing this scenario to the recovery suite which creates
a table on a primary, updates the table to generate dead tuples for
vacuum, and then, during the vacuum, uses a replica to force
GlobalVisState->maybe_needed on the primary to move backwards and
precede the value of OldestXmin set at the beginning of vacuuming the
table.

This test is coverage for a case fixed in 83c39a1f7f3. The test was
originally committed to master in aa607980aee but later reverted in
efcbb76efe4 due to test instability.

The test requires multiple index passes. In Postgres 17+, vacuum uses a
TID store for the dead TIDs that is very space efficient. With the old
minimum maintenance_work_mem of 1 MB, it required a large number of dead
rows to generate enough dead TIDs to force multiple index
vacuuming passes. Once the source code changes were made to allow a
minimum maintenance_work_mem value of 64kB, the test could be made much
faster and more stable.

I don't see this on pg16 -- If this is good to have, maybe worth
calling out in the commit message as a difference?

Minor quibble: I wouldn't say it is deliberately optimized (at least
not on local memory) -- it's more of a consequence of pointer-sizes
and the somewhat arbitrary choice to set the slab block sizes to hold
about X number of chunks. For v19, it might be good to hard-code the
block sizes to reduce the possibility of difference and allow a
smaller table.

+my $nrows = 9000;

Running the queries in isolation on an -m32 build shows running 5
index scans, and I found 4000 runs 3 index scans both with and without
asserts. Of course, I'm only using the normal 8kB block sizes. In any
case, 9000 is already a lot less than 200000, so we can go with that
for v17 and v18.

Yea, I'm not 100% sure how useful it is because with
hot_standby_feedback on (which we need for the standby to hold the
horizon back when it is connected) we shouldn't really see recovery
conflicts. I think I added it at some point for debugging issues while
writing the test. Perhaps I'll remove it now, as it may be more
confusing than anything else.

Thanks for the clarification. I'll clean this comment up in the next
version I post after resolving the issue I mention below.

What's odd is that I'm seeing now that I need at least 8000 tuples to
get > 1 pass of index vacuuming locally with a 64-bit assert build --
which is more than you are reporting and more than I remember having
needed for 64-bit builds when I tested this last year with your patch
applied.

What's even odder is that I tested on a 32-bit build as well (
-Dc_args='-m32' -Dc_link_args='-m32' --auto-features=disabled) and it
doesn't require any more than 8000 tuples to get > 1 pass of index
vacuuming.

So, currently, on both 32 and 64 bit builds and nrows == 8000, I get 2
passes of index vacuuming.

I can't tell what I'm doing wrong. Could you give your full build
details? There's no chance that you made a change to the TIDStore that
would make it possible for any configuration to have the same size
TIDStore on a 32 and 64 bit build, right?

Thanks for providing this! I actually did see the same number of index
scans as you with 9000 rows.

So, I think I figured out why I was seeing the test hang waiting for
pg_stat_progress_vacuum to report an index count.

Using auto_explain, I determined that the cursor was using an index-only
scan with lower row counts. That meant it pinned an index leaf page instead
of a heap page and the first round of index vacuuming couldn't complete
because btree index vacuuming requires we acquire a cleanup lock on every
leaf page.

I solved this by disabling all index scans in the cursor's session.

I attached the updated patch which passes for me on 32 and 64-bit builds.
We've managed to reduce the row count so low (1000-2000 rows) that I'm not
sure it matters if we have a 64-bit and 32-bit case. However, since we have
the large block comment about the required number of rows, I figured we
might as well have the two different nrows.

I'll have to do some more research on 14-16 to see if this could be a
problem there.

I also disabled prefetching, concurrent IO, and read combining for vacuum
-- it didn't cause a problem in my local tests, but I could see it
interfering with the test and potentially causing flakes/failures on some
machines/configurations. That means I'll have to do a slightly different
patch for 17 than 18 (17 doesn't have io_combine_limit).

Finally, I disabled parallelism as a future-proofing for having heap vacuum
parallelism -- wouldn't want a mysterious failure in this test in the
future.

Subject: [PATCH v2] Test that vacuum removes tuples older than OldestXmin

If vacuum fails to prune a tuple killed before OldestXmin, it will
decide to freeze its xmax and later error out in pre-freeze checks.

Add a test reproducing this scenario to the recovery suite which creates
a table on a primary, updates the table to generate dead tuples for
vacuum, and then, during the vacuum, uses a replica to force
GlobalVisState->maybe_needed on the primary to move backwards and
precede the value of OldestXmin set at the beginning of vacuuming the
table.

This test is coverage for a case fixed in 83c39a1f7f3. The test was
originally committed to master in aa607980aee but later reverted in
efcbb76efe4 due to test instability.

The test requires multiple index passes. In Postgres 17+, vacuum uses a
TID store for the dead TIDs that is very space efficient. With the old
minimum maintenance_work_mem of 1 MB, it required a large number of dead
rows to generate enough dead TIDs to force multiple index
vacuuming passes. Once the source code changes were made to allow a
minimum maintenance_work_mem value of 64kB, the test could be made much
faster and more stable.

Interesting find! I wondered how it would look if the cursor referred
to a extra non-indexed column, but the above seems fine and the whole
thing probably easier to reason about with only a single column.

> I attached the updated patch which passes for me on 32 and 64-bit builds. We've managed to reduce the row count so low (1000-2000 rows) that I'm not sure it matters if we have a 64-bit and 32-bit case. However, since we have the large block comment about the required number of rows, I figured we might as well have the two different nrows.

It seems backwards to have the comment influence the code -- the
comment should document decisions around the code. 2000 is already
100x smaller than pg16, so it's not really buying us much to be
platform-aware. The first two sentences in the comment seem fine.
After that, I'd just say:

# We choose the number of rows to make sure we exceed
maintenance_work_mem on all platforms we support, but we also want it
to be small so that the test runtime is short.

Last I checked, our regression tests fail on block sizes other than
8kB. If we ever need to cater to that, this comment covers that
eventuality as well.

Maybe it's possible to phrase this so it's true regardless of whether
we adopt that or not?
"PARALLEL 0 shouldn't be necessary, but guards against the possibility
of parallel heap vacuuming"

Yea, it was a fun little investigation. We could eliminate the
possibility of an index-only scan by adding another column and
referring to it, but I think forcing a sequential scan explicitly
makes the test clearer.

You're right. It is odd to have the location of the comment affect the
code :). I've changed it as you suggested.

I've adopted this phrasing.

Attached v3 has all of the above. I think the only thing that is
needed to be changed for the backpatch to 17 is removing
io_combine_limit.

Subject: [PATCH v3] Test that vacuum removes tuples older than OldestXmin

If vacuum fails to prune a tuple killed before OldestXmin, it will
decide to freeze its xmax and later error out in pre-freeze checks.

Add a test reproducing this scenario to the recovery suite which creates
a table on a primary, updates the table to generate dead tuples for
vacuum, and then, during the vacuum, uses a replica to force
GlobalVisState->maybe_needed on the primary to move backwards and
precede the value of OldestXmin set at the beginning of vacuuming the
table.

This test is coverage for a case fixed in 83c39a1f7f3. The test was
originally committed to master in aa607980aee but later reverted in
efcbb76efe4 due to test instability.

The test requires multiple index passes. In Postgres 17+, vacuum uses a
TID store for the dead TIDs that is very space efficient. With the old
minimum maintenance_work_mem of 1 MB, it required a large number of dead
rows to generate enough dead TIDs to force multiple index
vacuuming passes. Once the source code changes were made to allow a
minimum maintenance_work_mem value of 64kB, the test could be made much
faster and more stable.

Okay, pushed to 17 (which does have io_combine_limit, I forgot) and
master. Now, let's see if the buildfarm is happy. Thanks for all your
help!

* [PATCH v25 2/4] Refactor index_concurrently_create_copy() for use with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

This patch moves the code to index_create_copy() and adds a "concurrently"
parameter so it can be used by REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

With the CONCURRENTLY option, REPACK cannot simply swap the heap file and
rebuild its indexes. Instead, it needs to build a separate set of indexes
(including system catalog entries) *before* the actual swap, to reduce the
time AccessExclusiveLock needs to be held for.

* [PATCH v25 2/4] Refactor index_concurrently_create_copy() for use with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

This patch moves the code to index_create_copy() and adds a "concurrently"
parameter so it can be used by REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

With the CONCURRENTLY option, REPACK cannot simply swap the heap file and
rebuild its indexes. Instead, it needs to build a separate set of indexes
(including system catalog entries) *before* the actual swap, to reduce the
time AccessExclusiveLock needs to be held for.

* [PATCH 2/4] Refactor index_concurrently_create_copy() for use with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2025-12-04 17:20 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2025-12-04 17:20 UTC (permalink / raw)

This patch moves the code to index_create_copy() and adds a "concurrently"
parameter so it can be used by REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

With the CONCURRENTLY option, REPACK cannot simply swap the heap file and
rebuild its indexes. Instead, it needs to build a separate set of indexes
(including system catalog entries) *before* the actual swap, to reduce the
time AccessExclusiveLock needs to be held for.

* [PATCH 2/6] Refactor index_concurrently_create_copy() for use with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

From: Antonin Houska @ 2025-12-13 18:27 UTC (permalink / raw)

This patch moves the code to index_create_copy() and adds a "concurrently"
parameter so it can be used by REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

With the CONCURRENTLY option, REPACK cannot simply swap the heap file and
rebuild its indexes. Instead, it needs to build a separate set of indexes
(including system catalog entries) *before* the actual swap, to reduce the
time AccessExclusiveLock needs to be held for.

* [PATCH 2/6] Refactor index_concurrently_create_copy() for use with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-01-08 16:47 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-01-08 16:47 UTC (permalink / raw)

This patch moves the code to index_create_copy() and adds a "concurrently"
parameter so it can be used by REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

With the CONCURRENTLY option, REPACK cannot simply swap the heap file and
rebuild its indexes. Instead, it needs to build a separate set of indexes
(including system catalog entries) *before* the actual swap, to reduce the
time AccessExclusiveLock needs to be held for.

* [PATCH 2/6] Refactor index_concurrently_create_copy() for use with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-01-12 16:30 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-01-12 16:30 UTC (permalink / raw)

This patch moves the code to index_create_copy() and adds a "concurrently"
parameter so it can be used by REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

With the CONCURRENTLY option, REPACK cannot simply swap the heap file and
rebuild its indexes. Instead, it needs to build a separate set of indexes
(including system catalog entries) *before* the actual swap, to reduce the
time AccessExclusiveLock needs to be held for.

* [PATCH 2/6] Refactor index_concurrently_create_copy() for use with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

This patch moves the code to index_create_copy() and adds a "concurrently"
parameter so it can be used by REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

With the CONCURRENTLY option, REPACK cannot simply swap the heap file and
rebuild its indexes. Instead, it needs to build a separate set of indexes
(including system catalog entries) *before* the actual swap, to reduce the
time AccessExclusiveLock needs to be held for.

* [PATCH 2/6] Refactor index_concurrently_create_copy() for use with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

This patch moves the code to index_create_copy() and adds a "concurrently"
parameter so it can be used by REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

With the CONCURRENTLY option, REPACK cannot simply swap the heap file and
rebuild its indexes. Instead, it needs to build a separate set of indexes
(including system catalog entries) *before* the actual swap, to reduce the
time AccessExclusiveLock needs to be held for.

* [PATCH 2/6] Refactor index_concurrently_create_copy() for use with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

This patch moves the code to index_create_copy() and adds a "concurrently"
parameter so it can be used by REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

With the CONCURRENTLY option, REPACK cannot simply swap the heap file and
rebuild its indexes. Instead, it needs to build a separate set of indexes
(including system catalog entries) *before* the actual swap, to reduce the
time AccessExclusiveLock needs to be held for.

* [PATCH v35 2/5] Refactor index_concurrently_create_copy() for use with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-02-16 19:49 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 70+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-02-16 19:49 UTC (permalink / raw)

This patch moves the code to index_create_copy() and adds a "concurrently"
parameter so it can be used by REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

With the CONCURRENTLY option, REPACK cannot simply swap the heap file and
rebuild its indexes. Instead, it needs to build a separate set of indexes
(including system catalog entries) *before* the actual swap, to reduce the
time AccessExclusiveLock needs to be held for.

* [PATCH 2/5] Refactor index_concurrently_create_copy() for use with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-02-27 18:01 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-02-27 18:01 UTC (permalink / raw)

This patch moves the code to index_create_copy() and adds a "concurrently"
parameter so it can be used by REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

With the CONCURRENTLY option, REPACK cannot simply swap the heap file and
rebuild its indexes. Instead, it needs to build a separate set of indexes
(including system catalog entries) *before* the actual swap, to reduce the
time AccessExclusiveLock needs to be held for.

This patch moves the code to index_create_copy() and adds a "concurrently"
parameter so it can be used by REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

With the CONCURRENTLY option, REPACK cannot simply swap the heap file and
rebuild its indexes. Instead, it needs to build a separate set of indexes
(including system catalog entries) *before* the actual swap, to reduce the
time AccessExclusiveLock needs to be held for.

* [PATCH 2/4] Refactor index_concurrently_create_copy() for use with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

This patch moves the code to index_create_copy() and adds a "concurrently"
parameter so it can be used by REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

With the CONCURRENTLY option, REPACK cannot simply swap the heap file and
rebuild its indexes. Instead, it needs to build a separate set of indexes
(including system catalog entries) *before* the actual swap, to reduce the
time AccessExclusiveLock needs to be held for.

This patch moves the code to index_create_copy() and adds a "concurrently"
parameter so it can be used by REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

With the CONCURRENTLY option, REPACK cannot simply swap the heap file and
rebuild its indexes. Instead, it needs to build a separate set of indexes
(including system catalog entries) *before* the actual swap, to reduce the
time AccessExclusiveLock needs to be held for.

* [PATCH 2/5] Refactor index_concurrently_create_copy() for use with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-05 18:58 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 70+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-05 18:58 UTC (permalink / raw)

This patch moves the code to index_create_copy() and adds a "concurrently"
parameter so it can be used by REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

With the CONCURRENTLY option, REPACK cannot simply swap the heap file and
rebuild its indexes. Instead, it needs to build a separate set of indexes
(including system catalog entries) *before* the actual swap, to reduce the
time AccessExclusiveLock needs to be held for.

* [PATCH 2/5] Refactor index_concurrently_create_copy() for use with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

This patch moves the code to index_create_copy() and adds a "concurrently"
parameter so it can be used by REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

With the CONCURRENTLY option, REPACK cannot simply swap the heap file and
rebuild its indexes. Instead, it needs to build a separate set of indexes
(including system catalog entries) *before* the actual swap, to reduce the
time AccessExclusiveLock needs to be held for.

* [PATCH v40 1/4] Refactor index_concurrently_create_copy() for use with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

This patch moves the code to index_create_copy() and adds a "concurrently"
parameter so it can be used by REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

With the CONCURRENTLY option, REPACK cannot simply swap the heap file and
rebuild its indexes. Instead, it needs to build a separate set of indexes
(including system catalog entries) *before* the actual swap, to reduce the
time AccessExclusiveLock needs to be held for.

This patch moves the code to index_create_copy() and adds a "concurrently"
parameter so it can be used by REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

With the CONCURRENTLY option, REPACK cannot simply swap the heap file and
rebuild its indexes. Instead, it needs to build a separate set of indexes
(including system catalog entries) *before* the actual swap, to reduce the
time AccessExclusiveLock needs to be held for.

* [PATCH 1/7] Refactor index_concurrently_create_copy() for use with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

This patch moves the code to index_create_copy() and adds a "concurrently"
parameter so it can be used by REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

With the CONCURRENTLY option, REPACK cannot simply swap the heap file and
rebuild its indexes. Instead, it needs to build a separate set of indexes
(including system catalog entries) *before* the actual swap, to reduce the
time AccessExclusiveLock needs to be held for.

* [PATCH v43 1/7] Refactor index_concurrently_create_copy() for use with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-11 13:15 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-11 13:15 UTC (permalink / raw)

This patch moves the code to index_create_copy() and adds a "concurrently"
parameter so it can be used by REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

With the CONCURRENTLY option, REPACK cannot simply swap the heap file and
rebuild its indexes. Instead, it needs to build a separate set of indexes
(including system catalog entries) *before* the actual swap, to reduce the
time AccessExclusiveLock needs to be held for.

(including system catalog entries) *before* the actual swap, to reduce the
time AccessExclusiveLock needs to be held for.

* [PATCH 1/5] Refactor index_concurrently_create_copy() for use with REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).
@ 2026-03-11 13:15 Antonin Houska <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 70+ messages in thread

From: Antonin Houska @ 2026-03-11 13:15 UTC (permalink / raw)

This patch moves the code to index_create_copy() and adds a "concurrently"
parameter so it can be used by REPACK (CONCURRENTLY).

With the CONCURRENTLY option, REPACK cannot simply swap the heap file and
rebuild its indexes. Instead, it needs to build a separate set of indexes
(including system catalog entries) *before* the actual swap, to reduce the
time AccessExclusiveLock needs to be held for.
