Previously, pg_upgrade would abort copy_file() on a short write without
setting errno, which the caller would report as an error with the
message "Success". We assume ENOSPC in that case, as we do elsewhere in
the code. Also set errno in some other error cases in copy_file() to
avoid bogus "Success" error messages.
This was broken in 6b711cf37c, so 9.2 and
before are OK.
libpgcommon is a new static library to allow sharing code among the
various frontend programs and backend; this lets us eliminate duplicate
implementations of common routines. We avoid libpgport, because that's
intended as a place for porting issues; per discussion, it seems better
to keep them separate.
The first use case, and the only implemented by this patch, is pg_malloc
and friends, which many frontend programs were already using.
At the same time, we can use this to provide palloc emulation functions
for the frontend; this way, some palloc-using files in the backend can
also be used by the frontend cleanly. To do this, we change palloc() in
the backend to be a function instead of a macro on top of
MemoryContextAlloc(). This was previously believed to cause loss of
performance, but this implementation has been tweaked by Tom and Andres
so that on modern compilers it provides a slight improvement over the
previous one.
This lets us clean up some places that were already with
localized hacks.
Most of the pg_malloc/palloc changes in this patch were authored by
Andres Freund. Zoltán Böszörményi also independently provided a form of
that. libpgcommon infrastructure was authored by Álvaro.
existence via open(), rather than collecting a directory listing and
looking up matching relfilenode files with sequential scans of the
array. This speeds up pg_upgrade by 2x for a large number of tables,
e.g. 16k.
Per observation by Ants Aasma.
Error out on out-of-memory, rather than returning -1, which the sole
existing caller wasn't checking for anyway. There doesn't seem to be
any use-case for making the caller check for failure here.
Detect failure return from readdir().
Use a less platform-dependent method of calculating the entrysize.
It's possible, but not yet confirmed, that this explains bug #6733,
in which Mike Wilson reports a pg_upgrade crash that did not occur
in 9.1. (Note that load_directory is effectively new code in 9.2,
at least on platforms that have scandir().)
Fix up comments, avoid uselessly using two counters, reduce the number
of realloc calls to something sane.
add ability to control permissions of created files
have psql echo its queries for easier debugging
output four separate log files, and delete them on success
add -r/--retain option to keep log files after success
make logs file append-only
remove -g/-G/-l logging options
sugggest tailing appropriate log file on failure
enhance -v/--verbose behavior
Add errno-based output to error messages where appropriate, reformat
blocks to about 72 characters per line, use spaces instead of tabs for
indentation, and other style adjustments.
1. Don't reimplement S_ISDIR() and S_ISREG() badly.
2. Don't reimplement access() badly.
This code appears to have been copied from ancient versions of the
corresponding backend routines, and not patched to incorporate subsequent
fixes (see my commits of 2008-03-31 and 2010-01-14 respectively).
It might be a good idea to change it to just *call* those routines,
but for now I'll just transpose these fixes over.
cmp parameter for pg_scandir(). The code failed to support this anyway
for Sun/Windows, so pretending we could accept a parameter other than
NULL was just asking for trouble.
