From c556b29a1199babc672b81065fe74fb50657c451 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Neil Conway Date: Wed, 8 Aug 2007 18:07:05 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Fix a gradual memory leak in ExecReScanAgg(). Because the aggregation hash table is allocated in a child context of the agg node's memory context, MemoryContextReset() will reset but *not* delete the child context. Since ExecReScanAgg() proceeds to build a new hash table from scratch (in a new sub-context), this results in leaking the header for the previous memory context. Therefore, use MemoryContextResetAndDeleteChildren() instead. Credit: My colleague Sailesh Krishnamurthy at Truviso for isolating the cause of the leak. --- src/backend/executor/nodeAgg.c | 12 +++++++++--- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/backend/executor/nodeAgg.c b/src/backend/executor/nodeAgg.c index d9e26d1d19..644268b635 100644 --- a/src/backend/executor/nodeAgg.c +++ b/src/backend/executor/nodeAgg.c @@ -61,7 +61,7 @@ * Portions Copyright (c) 1994, Regents of the University of California * * IDENTIFICATION - * $PostgreSQL: pgsql/src/backend/executor/nodeAgg.c,v 1.152 2007/04/02 03:49:38 tgl Exp $ + * $PostgreSQL: pgsql/src/backend/executor/nodeAgg.c,v 1.153 2007/08/08 18:07:05 neilc Exp $ * *------------------------------------------------------------------------- */ @@ -1646,8 +1646,14 @@ ExecReScanAgg(AggState *node, ExprContext *exprCtxt) MemSet(econtext->ecxt_aggvalues, 0, sizeof(Datum) * node->numaggs); MemSet(econtext->ecxt_aggnulls, 0, sizeof(bool) * node->numaggs); - /* Release all temp storage */ - MemoryContextReset(node->aggcontext); + /* + * Release all temp storage.
