If the source and destination partitions don't have identical
rowtypes (for example, one has dropped columns the other lacks),
then the planSlot contents will be different because of that.
If the query has a RETURNING list that tries to return resjunk
columns out of the planSlot, that is columns from tables that
were joined to the target table, we'd get errors or wrong answers.
That's because we used the RETURNING list generated for the
destination partition, which expects a planSlot matching that
partition's subplan.
The most practical fix seems to be to convert the updated destination
tuple back to the source partition's rowtype, and then apply the
RETURNING list generated for the source partition. This avoids making
fragile assumptions about whether the per-subpartition subplans
generated all the resjunk columns in the same order.
This has been broken since v11 introduced cross-partition UPDATE.
The lack of field complaints shows that non-identical partitions
aren't a common case; therefore, don't stress too hard about
making the conversion efficient.
There's no such bug in HEAD, because commit 86dc90056 got rid of
per-target-relation variance in the contents of the planSlot.
Hence, patch v11-v13 only.

An oversight introduced by the incremental-sort patches caused
"could not find pathkey item to sort" errors in some situations
where a sort key involves an aggregate or window function.
The basic problem here is that find_em_expr_usable_for_sorting_rel
isn't properly modeling what prepare_sort_from_pathkeys will do
later. Rather than hoping we can keep those functions in sync,
let's refactor so that they actually share the code for
identifying a suitable sort expression.
With this refactoring, tlist.c's tlist_member_ignore_relabel
is unused. I removed it in HEAD but left it in place in v13,
in case any extensions are using it.

In order to avoid getting old logfile contents certain functions in
PostgresNode were doing one of two things. On Windows it rotated the
logfile and restarted the server, while elsewhere it truncated the log
file. Both of these are unnecessary. We borrow from the buildfarm which
does this instead: note the size of the logfile before we start, and
then when fetching the logfile skip to that position before accumulating
contents. This is spelled differently on Windows but the effect is the
same. This is largely centralized in TestLib's slurp_file function,
which has a new optional parameter, the offset to skip to before
starting to reading the file. Code in the client becomes much neater.

Most GUC check hooks that inspect database state have special checks
that prevent them from throwing hard errors for state-dependent issues
when source == PGC_S_TEST. This allows, for example,
"ALTER DATABASE d SET default_text_search_config = foo" when the "foo"
configuration hasn't been created yet. Without this, we have problems
during dump/reload or pg_upgrade, because pg_dump has no idea about
possible dependencies of GUC values and can't ensure a safe restore
ordering.
However, check_role() and check_session_authorization() hadn't gotten
the memo about that, and would throw hard errors anyway. It's not
entirely clear what is the use-case for "ALTER ROLE x SET role = y",
but we've now heard two independent complaints about that bollixing
an upgrade, so apparently some people are doing it.
Hence, fix these two functions to act more like other check hooks
with similar needs. (But I did not change their insistence on
being inside a transaction, as it's still not apparent that setting
either GUC from the configuration file would be wise.)
Also fix check_temp_buffers, which had a different form of the disease
of making state-dependent checks without any exception for PGC_S_TEST.
A cursory survey of other GUC check hooks did not find any more issues
of this ilk. (There are a lot of interdependencies among
PGC_POSTMASTER and PGC_SIGHUP GUCs, which may be a bad idea, but
they're not relevant to the immediate concern because they can't be
set via ALTER ROLE/DATABASE.)

Previously, get_cached_rowtype() cached a pointer to a reference-counted
tuple descriptor from the typcache, relying on the ExprContextCallback
mechanism to release the tupdesc refcount when the expression tree
using the tupdesc was destroyed. This worked fine when it was designed,
but the introduction of within-DO-block COMMITs broke it. The refcount
is logged in a transaction-lifespan resource owner, but plpgsql won't
destroy simple expressions made within the DO block (before its first
commit) until the DO block is exited. That results in a warning about
a leaked tupdesc refcount when the COMMIT destroys the original resource
owner, and then an error about the active resource owner not holding a
matching refcount when the expression is destroyed.
To fix, get rid of the need to have a shutdown callback at all, by
instead caching a pointer to the relevant typcache entry. Those
survive for the life of the backend, so we needn't worry about the
pointer becoming stale. (For registered RECORD types, we can still
cache a pointer to the tupdesc, knowing that it won't change for the
life of the backend.) This mechanism has been in use in plpgsql
and expandedrecord.c since commit 4b93f5799, and seems to work well.
This change requires modifying the ExprEvalStep structs used by the
relevant expression step types, which is slightly worrisome for
back-patching. However, there seems no good reason for extensions
to be familiar with the details of these particular sub-structs.

heap_update needs to clear any existing "all visible" flag on
the old tuple's page (and on the new page too, if different).
Per coding rules, to do this it must acquire pin on the appropriate
visibility-map page while not holding exclusive buffer lock;
which creates a race condition since someone else could set the
flag whenever we're not holding the buffer lock. The code is
supposed to handle that by re-checking the flag after acquiring
buffer lock and retrying if it became set. However, one code
path through heap_update itself, as well as one in its subroutine
RelationGetBufferForTuple, failed to do this. The end result,
in the unlikely event that a concurrent VACUUM did set the flag
while we're transiently not holding lock, is a non-recurring
"PANIC: wrong buffer passed to visibilitymap_clear" failure.
This has been seen a few times in the buildfarm since recent VACUUM
changes that added code paths that could set the all-visible flag
while holding only exclusive buffer lock. Previously, the flag
was (usually?) set only after doing LockBufferForCleanup, which
would insist on buffer pin count zero, thus preventing the flag
from becoming set partway through heap_update. However, it's
clear that it's heap_update not VACUUM that's at fault here.
What's less clear is whether there is any hazard from these bugs
in released branches. heap_update is certainly violating API
expectations, but if there is no code path that can set all-visible
without a cleanup lock then it's only a latent bug. That's not
100% certain though, besides which we should worry about extensions
or future back-patch fixes that could introduce such code paths.
I chose to back-patch to v12. Fixing RelationGetBufferForTuple
before that would require also back-patching portions of older
fixes (notably 0d1fe9f74), which is more code churn than seems
prudent to fix a hypothetical issue.

There are hacks in parse_coerce.c to push down a requested coercion
to below any CollateExpr that may appear. However, we did that even
if the requested data type is non-collatable, leading to an invalid
expression tree in which CollateExpr is applied to a non-collatable
type. The fix is just to drop the CollateExpr altogether, reasoning
that it's useless.
This bug is ten years old, dating to the original addition of
COLLATE support. The lack of field complaints suggests that there
aren't a lot of user-visible consequences. We noticed the problem
because it would trigger an assertion in DefineVirtualRelation if
the invalid structure appears as an output column of a view; however,
in a non-assert build, you don't see a crash just a (subtly incorrect)
complaint about applying collation to a non-collatable type. I found
that by putting the incorrect structure further down in a view, I could
make a view definition that would fail dump/reload, per the added
regression test case. But CollateExpr doesn't do anything at run-time,
so this likely doesn't lead to any really exciting consequences.

Currently, parallel vacuum workers don't use any buffer access strategy.
We can fix it either by propagating the access strategy from a leader or
allow each worker to use BAS_VACUUM access strategy type. We don't see
much use in propagating this information from leader as both leader and
workers are supposed to use the same strategy. We might want to use a
different access strategy for leader and workers but that would be a

Using Roman numbers (via "RM" or "rm") for a conversion to calculate a

where a conversion could easily cause out-of-bound memory accesses. The
conversions in themselves were not completely consistent either, as
specifying 12 would result in NULL, but it should mean XII.
This commit reworks the conversion calculation to have a more

- If the number of months and years is 0, return NULL.
- If the number of months is positive, return the exact month number.
- If the number of months is negative, do a backward calculation, with

The code in bringetbitmap() simply added the whole matching page range
to the TID bitmap, as determined by pages_per_range, even if some of the
pages were beyond the end of the heap. The query then might fail with
an error like this:
ERROR: could not open file "base/20176/20228.2" (target block
262144): previous segment is only 131021 blocks
In this case, the relation has 262093 pages (131072 and 131021 pages),
but we're trying to acess block 262144, i.e. first block of the 3rd
segment. At that point _mdfd_getseg() notices the preceding segment is
incomplete, and fails.
Hitting this in practice is rather unlikely, because:
* Most indexes use power-of-two ranges, so segments and page ranges
align perfectly (segment end is also a page range end).
* The table size has to be just right, with the last segment being
almost full - less than one page range from full segment, so that the
last page range actually crosses the segment boundary.
* Prefetch has to be enabled. The regular page access checks that
pages are not beyond heap end, but prefetch does not. On older
releases (before 12) the execution stops after hitting the first
non-existent page, so the prefetch distance has to be sufficient
to reach the first page in the next segment to trigger the issue.
Since 12 it's enough to just have prefetch enabled, the prefetch
distance does not matter.
Fixed by not adding non-existent pages to the TID bitmap. Backpatch
all the way back to 9.6 (BRIN indexes were introduced in 9.5, but that

At this situation, if other process was invoked and the PGPROC entry that

spg_box_quad_leaf_consistent unconditionally returned the leaf
datum as leafValue, even though in its usage for poly_ops that
value is of completely the wrong type.
In versions before 12, that was harmless because the core code did
nothing with leafValue in non-index-only scans ... but since commit
2a6368343, if we were doing a KNN-style scan, spgNewHeapItem would
unconditionally try to copy the value using the wrong datatype
parameters. Said copying is a waste of time and space if we're not
going to return the data, but it accidentally failed to fail until
I fixed the datatype confusion in ac9099fc1.
Hence, change spgNewHeapItem to not copy the datum unless we're
actually going to return it later. This saves cycles and dodges
the question of whether lossy opclasses are returning the right
type. Also change spg_box_quad_leaf_consistent to not return
data that might be of the wrong type, as insurance against
somebody introducing a similar bug into the core code in future.

Despite the clear comments pointing out that the duplicative code
segments in ReadHead() and _discoverArchiveFormat() needed to be
in sync, they were not: the latter did not bother to apply any of
the sanity checks in the former. We'd missed noticing this partly
because none of those checks would fail in scenarios we customarily
test, and partly because the oversight would be masked if both
segments execute, which they would in cases other than needing to
autodetect the format of a non-seekable stdin source. However,
in a case meeting all these requirements --- for example, trying
to read a newer-than-supported archive format from non-seekable
stdin --- pg_restore missed applying the version check and would
likely dump core or otherwise misbehave.
The whole thing is silly anyway, because there seems little reason
to duplicate the logic beyond the one-line verification that the
file starts with "PGDMP". There seems to have been an undocumented
assumption that multiple major formats (major enough to require
separate reader modules) would nonetheless share the first half-dozen
fields of the custom-format header. This seems unlikely, so let's
fix it by just nuking the duplicate logic in _discoverArchiveFormat().
Also get rid of the pointless attempt to seek back to the start of
the file after successful autodetection. That wastes cycles and
it means we have four behaviors to verify not two.

Jasen Betts reported yet another unintended side effect of commit
85c54287a: reconnecting with "\c service=whatever" did not have the
expected results. The reason is that starting from the output of
PQconndefaults() effectively allows environment variables (such
as PGPORT) to override entries in the service file, whereas the
normal priority is the other way around.
Not using PQconndefaults at all would require yet a third main code
path in do_connect's parameter setup, so I don't really want to fix
it that way. But we can have the logic effectively ignore all the
default values for just a couple more lines of code.
This patch doesn't change the behavior for "\c -reuse-previous=on

85c54287a, because many more parameters will be re-used, and thus
not be possible for service entries to replace. But I think this

Although that exact scenario does not crash in v13, I think that's

reported by several users of Postgres 13, this is causing concurrency
issues when manipulating WAL segments, mostly in the shape of the
following error:
LOG: could not rename file "pg_wal/000000XX000000YY000000ZZ":
Permission denied
This moves back to a logic where a single rename() (well, pgrename() for
Windows) is used. This issue has proved to be hard to hit when I tested
it, facing it only once with an archive_command that was not able to do
its work, so it is environment-sensitive. The reporters of this issue
have been able to confirm that the situation improved once we switched
back to a single rename(). In order to check things, I have provided to
the reporters a patched build based on 13.2 with aaa3aed reverted, to
test if the error goes away, and an unpatched build of 13.2 to test if
the error still showed up (just to make sure that I did not mess up my
build process).
Extra thanks to Fujii Masao for pointing out what looked like the
culprit commit, and to all the reporters for taking the time to test
what I have sent them.

The test added by 595b9cb forgot that on Windows it is necessary to set
up pg_hba.conf (see PostgresNode::set_replication_conf) with a specific
entry or base backups fail. Any node that requires to support
replication just needs to pass down allows_streaming at initialization.
This updates the test to do so. Simplify things a bit while on it.
Per buildfarm member fairywren. Any Windows hosts running this test
would have failed, and I have reproduced the problem as well.

Any transactions found as still prepared by a checkpoint have their
state data read from the WAL records generated by PREPARE TRANSACTION
before being moved into their new location within pg_twophase/. While
reading such records, the WAL reader uses the callback
read_local_xlog_page() to read a page, that is shared across various
parts of the system. This callback, since 1148e22a, has introduced an
update of ThisTimeLineID when reading a record while in recovery, which
is potentially helpful in the context of cascading WAL senders.
This update of ThisTimeLineID interacts badly with the checkpointer if a
promotion happens while some 2PC data is read from its record, as, by
changing ThisTimeLineID, any follow-up WAL records would be written to
an timeline older than the promoted one. This results in consistency
issues. For instance, a subsequent server restart would cause a failure
in finding a valid checkpoint record, resulting in a PANIC, for
instance.
This commit changes the code reading the 2PC data to reset the timeline
once the 2PC record has been read, to prevent messing up with the static
state of the checkpointer. It would be tempting to do the same thing
directly in read_local_xlog_page(). However, based on the discussion
that has led to 1148e22a, users may rely on the updates of
ThisTimeLineID when a WAL record page is read in recovery, so changing
this callback could break some cases that are working currently.
A TAP test reproducing the issue is added, relying on a PITR to
precisely trigger a promotion with a prepared transaction still
tracked.
Per discussion with Heikki Linnakangas, Kyotaro Horiguchi, Fujii Masao
and myself.

While back-patching e0e569e1d, I noted that there were some other
places where we ought to be applying DH_free(); namely, where we
load some DH parameters from a file and then reject them as not
being sufficiently secure. While it seems really unlikely that
anybody would hit these code paths in production, let alone do
so repeatedly, let's fix it for consistency.
Back-patch to v10 where this code was introduced.

We leaked the error report from PQconninfoParse, when there was
one. It seems unlikely that real usage patterns would repeat
the failure often enough to create serious bloat, but let's
back-patch anyway to keep the code similar in all branches.
Found via valgrind testing.

Because guc.c prefers to keep all its string values in malloc'd
not palloc'd storage, it has to be more careful than usual to
avoid leaks. Error exits out of string GUC hook checks failed
to clear the proposed value string, and error exits out of
ProcessGUCArray() failed to clear the malloc'd results of
ParseLongOption().
Found via valgrind testing.
This problem is ancient, so back-patch to all supported branches.

The text search cache mechanisms assume that we can clean up
an invalidated dictionary cache entry simply by resetting the
associated long-lived memory context. However, that does not work
for ispell affixes that make use of regular expressions, because
the regex library deals in plain old malloc. Hence, we leaked
compiled regex(es) any time we dropped such a cache entry. That
could quickly add up, since even a fairly trivial regex can use up
tens of kB, and a large one can eat megabytes. Add a memory context
callback to ensure that a regex gets freed when its owning cache
entry is cleared.
