2025-05-02Fix memory leak in _gin_parallel_mergeTomas Vondra
To insert the merged GIN entries in _gin_parallel_merge, the leader calls ginEntryInsert(). This may allocate memory, e.g. for a new leaf tuple. This was allocated in the PortalContext, and kept until the end of the index build. For most GIN indexes the amount of leaked memory is negligible, but for custom opclasses with large keys it may cause OOMs. Fixed by calling ginEntryInsert() in a temporary memory context, reset after each insert. Other ginEntryInsert() callers do this too, except that the context is reset after batches of inserts. More frequent resets don't seem to hurt performance, it may even help it a bit. Report and fix by Vinod Sridharan.

2025-05-02Don't use a tuplestore if we don't have to for SQL-language functions.Tom Lane
We only need a tuplestore if we're actually going to accumulate multiple result tuples. Obviously then we don't need one for non-set- returning functions; but even a SRF doesn't need one if we decide to use "lazyEval" (one row at a time) mode. In these cases, it's sufficient to use the junkfilter's result slot to hold the single row that's due to be returned. We just need to "materialize" that slot to ensure it holds onto the data past shutdown of the sub-executor. The original intent of this patch was partially to save a few cycles (by not putting tuples into a tuplestore only to pull them back out immediately), but mostly to ensure that we don't use a tuplestore in non-set-returning functions. That's because I had concerns about whether a tuplestore is safe to keep across queries, which was possible for functions invoked via long-lived FmgrInfos such as those kept in the typcache. There are no cases where SRFs are called that way, so getting rid of the tuplestore in non-SRFs should make things safer. However, it emerges that running fmgr_sql in a short-lived context (as 595d1efed made it do) makes the existing coding unsafe anyway: we can end up with a long-lived TupleTableSlot holding a freeable reference to a short-lived tuple, resulting in a double-free crash. Not trying to pull tuples out of the tuplestore using that slot dodges the problem, so I'm going to commit this now rather than invent a band-aid solution for v18.

2025-05-02Handle self-referencing FKs correctly in partitioned tablesÁlvaro Herrera
For self-referencing foreign keys in partitioned tables, we weren't handling creation of pg_constraint rows during CREATE TABLE PARTITION AS as well as ALTER TABLE ATTACH PARTITION. This is an old bug -- mostly, we broke this in 614a406b4ff1 while trying to fix it (so 12.13, 13.9, 14.6 and 15.0 and up all behave incorrectly). This commit reverts part of that with additional fixes for full correctness, and installs more tests to verify the parts we broke, not just the catalog contents but also the user-visible behavior. Backpatch to all live branches. In branches 13 and 14, commit 46a8c27a7226 changed the behavior during DETACH to drop a FK constraint rather than trying to repair it, because the complete fix of repairing catalog constraints was problematic due to lack of previous fixes. For this reason, the test behavior in those branches is a bit different. However, as best as I can tell, the fix works correctly there. In release notes we have to recommend that all self-referencing foreign keys on partitioned tables be recreated if partitions have been created or attached after the FK was created, keeping in mind that violating rows might already be present on the referencing side.

2025-05-02Make "directory" setting work with extension_control_pathPeter Eisentraut
The extension_control_path setting (commit 4f7f7b03758) did not support extensions that set a custom "directory" setting in their control file. Very few extensions use that and during the discussion on the previous commit it was suggested to maybe remove that functionality. But a fix was easier than initially thought, so this just adds that support. The fix is to use the control->control_dir as a share dir to return the path of the extension script files. To make this work more sensibly overall, the directory suffix "extension" is no longer to be included in the extension_control_path value. To quote the patch, it would be -extension_control_path = '/usr/local/share/postgresql/extension:/home/my_project/share/extension:$system' +extension_control_path = '/usr/local/share/postgresql:/home/my_project/share:$system' During the initial patch, there was some discussion on which of these two approaches would be better, and the committed patch was a 50/50 decision. But the support for the "directory" setting pushed it the other way, and also it seems like many people didn't like the previous behavior much.

2025-05-01Doc: stop implying recommendation of insecure search_path value.Noah Misch
SQL "SET search_path = 'pg_catalog, pg_temp'" is silently equivalent to "SET search_path = pg_temp, pg_catalog, "pg_catalog, pg_temp"" instead of the intended "SET search_path = pg_catalog, pg_temp". (The intent was a two-element search path. With the single quotes, it instead specifies one element with a comma and a space in the middle of the element.) In addition to the SET statement, this affects SET clauses of CREATE FUNCTION, ALTER ROLE, and ALTER DATABASE. It does not affect the set_config() SQL function. Though the documentation did not show an insecure command, remove single quotes that could entice a reader to write an insecure command. Back-patch to v13 (all supported versions).

2025-05-01oauth: Move the builtin flow into a separate moduleJacob Champion
The additional packaging footprint of the OAuth Curl dependency, as well as the existence of libcurl in the address space even if OAuth isn't ever used by a client, has raised some concerns. Split off this dependency into a separate loadable module called libpq-oauth. When configured using --with-libcurl, libpq.so searches for this new module via dlopen(). End users may choose not to install the libpq-oauth module, in which case the default flow is disabled. For static applications using libpq.a, the libpq-oauth staticlib is a mandatory link-time dependency for --with-libcurl builds. libpq.pc has been updated accordingly. The default flow relies on some libpq internals. Some of these can be safely duplicated (such as the SIGPIPE handlers), but others need to be shared between libpq and libpq-oauth for thread-safety. To avoid exporting these internals to all libpq clients forever, these dependencies are instead injected from the libpq side via an initialization function. This also lets libpq communicate the offsets of PGconn struct members to libpq-oauth, so that we can function without crashing if the module on the search path came from a different build of Postgres. (A minor-version upgrade could swap the libpq-oauth module out from under a long-running libpq client before it does its first load of the OAuth flow.) This ABI is considered "private". The module has no SONAME or version symlinks, and it's named libpq-oauth-<major>.so to avoid mixing and matching across Postgres versions. (Future improvements may promote this "OAuth flow plugin" to a first-class concept, at which point we would need a public API to replace this anyway.) Additionally, NLS support for error messages in b3f0be788a was incomplete, because the new error macros weren't being scanned by xgettext. Fix that now. Per request from Tom Lane and Bruce Momjian. Based on an initial patch by Daniel Gustafsson, who also contributed docs changes. The "bare" dlopen() concept came from Thomas Munro. Many people reviewed the design and implementation; thank you!

Add a documentation warning to ts_headline() pointing out that, when working with untrusted input documents, the output is not guaranteed to be safe for direct inclusion in web pages. This is because, while it does remove some XML tags from the input, it doesn't remove all HTML markup, and so the result may be unsafe (e.g., it might permit XSS attacks). To guard against that, all HTML markup should be removed from the input, making it plain text, or the output should be passed through an HTML sanitizer. In addition, document precisely what the default text search parser recognises as valid XML tags, since that's what determines which XML tags ts_headline() will remove.

2025-04-30vacuumdb: Don't skip empty relations in --missing-stats-only mode.Nathan Bossart
Presently, --missing-stats-only skips relations with reltuples set to 0 because empty relations don't get optimizer statistics. However, before v14, a reltuples value of 0 was ambiguous: it could either mean the relation is empty, or it could mean that it hadn't yet been vacuumed or analyzed. (Commit 3d351d916b taught v14 and newer to use -1 for the latter case.) This ambiguity can cause --missing-stats-only to inadvertently skip relations that need optimizer statistics after upgrades to v18 and newer (since reltuples is now transferred from the old cluster). To fix, simply remove the check for reltuples != 0. This will cause --missing-stats-only to analyze some empty tables, but that doesn't seem too terrible a trade-off.

Adjust a comment from the subsequent patch 6d0154196, and tweak the wording in runtime.sgml to make it clear that changing SEMMNI/SEMMNS is no longer even a little bit optional on these platforms.

2025-04-29Fix assertion failure during decoding from synced slots.Amit Kapila
The slot synchronization skips updating the confirmed_flush LSN of the local slot if the local slot has a newer catalog_xmin or restart_lsn, but still allows updating the two_phase and two_phase_at fields of the slot. This opens up a window for the prepared transactions between old confirmed_flush LSN and two_phase_at to unexpectedly get decoded and sent to the downstream after promotion. Then, while decoding the commit prepared the assert will fail, which expects that the prepare hasn't been sent to the downstream. The fix is to skip updating the other slot fields when we are skipping to update the confirmed_flush LSN of the slot. We didn't backpatch this commit as two_phase_at was not synced in back branches, which means prepared transactions won't be unexpectedly sent to downstream. We discovered this problem while analyzing BF failure reported in the discussion link. Reliably reproducing this issue without a debugger is difficult. Given its rarity, adding specific injection point to test it doesn't seem worthwhile, so we won't be adding a dedicated test case.

2025-04-28Add maintenance_io_concurrency flag to some read stream usersMelanie Plageman
Index vacuuming and [auto]prewarm AIO concurrency should be governed by maintenance_io_concurrency. As such, pass those read stream users the READ_STREAM_MAINTENANCE flag which will calculate their read stream distance with maintenance_io_concurrency instead of effective_io_concurrency. This was an oversight in the original commits making those operations use the read stream API.

2025-04-28Fix obsolete nbtree array advancement comment.Peter Geoghegan
Checking if another primitive scan is required after all once the next leaf page was moved from _bt_checkkeys to its _bt_readpage caller by commit 9a2e2a28. Update a comment that incorrectly described the recheck mechanism as something that takes place in _bt_checkkeys. Also fix an older typo in related code comments.
2025-04-28Make NULL tuple values always advance skip arrays.Peter Geoghegan
_bt_check_compare neglected to handle a case that can arise when the scan's keys are temporarily treated as nonrequired, as an optimization: whenever a NULL tuple value was encountered that had a skip array whose current element wasn't already NULL, _bt_check_compare failed to advance the array to the NULL element. This allowed _bt_check_compare to fail to return matching tuples containing a NULL value (though only with an array column that came before a skip array column with NULLs, and only during _bt_readpage calls that set pstate.forcenonrequired=true on a page where the higher-order column also had to advance). To fix, teach _bt_check_compare to handle this case just like any other case where a skip array key is unsatisfied and must be advanced directly (due to the key being considered a nonrequired key). Oversight in commit 8a510275, which optimized nbtree search scan key comparisons with skip arrays.

2025-04-28Fix pg_dump for inherited validated not-null constraintsÁlvaro Herrera
When a child constraint is validated and the parent constraint it derives from isn't, pg_dump must be coerced into printing the child constraint; failing to do would result in a dump that restores the constraint as not valid, which would be incorrect.

2025-04-28Fix xmin advancement during fast_forward decoding.Amit Kapila
During logical decoding, we advance catalog_xmin of logical too early in fast_forward mode, resulting in required catalog data being removed by vacuum. This mode is normally used to advance the slot without processing the changes, but we still can't let the slot's xmin to advance to an incorrect value. Commit f49a80c481 fixed a similar issue where the logical slot's catalog_xmin was getting advanced prematurely during non-fast-forward mode. During xl_running_xacts processing, instead of directly advancing the slot's xmin to the oldest running xid in the record, it allowed the xmin to be held back for snapshots that can be used for not-yet-replayed transactions, as those might consider older txns as running too. However, it missed the fact that the same problem can happen during fast_forward mode decoding, as we won't build a base snapshot in that mode, and the future call to get_changes from the same slot can miss seeing the required catalog changes leading to incorrect reslts. This commit allows building the base snapshot even in fast_forward mode to prevent the early advancement of xmin.
