* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup.
@ 2024-05-18 01:41  Thomas Munro <[email protected]>

From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw)

When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would
run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several
important settings.

This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is
also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a
copy to give to the child.

Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the
postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile().  Introduce functions
ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that.
Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach
to the current control file in shared memory.

* [PATCH v9 2/2] handle relation statistics correctly during rewrites
@ 2025-11-04 13:52  Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 267+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2025-11-04 13:52 UTC (permalink / raw)

Now that PGSTAT_KIND_RELATION is keyed by refilenode, we need to handle rewrites.

To do so, this patch:

- Adds PgStat_PendingRewrite, a new struct to track rewrite operations within
a transaction, storing the old locator, new locator, and original locator (for
rewrite chains). This allows stats to be copied from the original location to
the final location at commit time.

- Adds a new function, pgstat_mark_rewrite(), called when a table rewrite begins.
It records the rewrite operation in a local list and detects rewrite chains by
checking if the old_locator matches any existing new_locator, preserving the
chain's original_locator.

- Modifies pgstat_copy_relation_stats(), to accept RelFileLocators instead of
Relations, with a new increment parameter to accumulate stats (needed for rewrite
chains with DML between rewrites).

- Ensures that AtEOXact_PgStat_Relations(), AtPrepare_PgStat_Relations(),
pgstat_twophase_postcommit()/postabort() pgstat_drop_relation() handle the
PgStat_PendingRewrite list correctly.

Note that due to the new flush call in pgstat_twophase_postcommit() we can not
call GetCurrentTransactionStopTimestamp() in pgstat_relation_flush_cb(). So,
adding a check to handle this special case and call GetCurrentTimestamp() instead.
Note that we'd call GetCurrentTimestamp() only if there is a rewrite, so that
the GetCurrentTimestamp() extra cost should be negligible. Another solution
could be to trigger the flush from FinishPreparedTransaction() but that's not
worth the extra complexity.

The new pending_rewrites list is traversed in multiple places. The overhead
should be negligible in comparison to a rewrite and the list should not contain
a lot of rewrites in practice.

The pending_rewrites list is traversed in multiple places. In typical usage,
the list will contain only a few entries so the traversal cost is negligible (
furthermore in comparison to a rewrite).
