Prevent handle_sig_alarm from losing control partway through due to a query cancel (either an asynchronous SIGINT, or a cancel triggered by one of the timeout handler functions). That would at least result in failure to schedule any required future interrupt, and might result in actual corruption of timeout.c's data structures, if the interrupt happened while we were updating those. We could still lose control if an asynchronous SIGINT arrives just as the function is entered. This wouldn't break any data structures, but it would have the same effect as if the SIGALRM interrupt had been silently lost: we'd not fire any currently-due handlers, nor schedule any new interrupt. To forestall that scenario, forcibly reschedule any pending timer interrupt during AbortTransaction and AbortSubTransaction. We can avoid any extra kernel call in most cases by not doing that until we've allowed LockErrorCleanup to kill the DEADLOCK_TIMEOUT and LOCK_TIMEOUT events. Another hazard is that some platforms (at least Linux and *BSD) block a signal before calling its handler and then unblock it on return. When we longjmp out of the handler, the unblock doesn't happen, and the signal is left blocked indefinitely. Again, we can fix that by forcibly unblocking signals during AbortTransaction and AbortSubTransaction. These latter two problems do not manifest when the longjmp reaches postgres.c, because the error recovery code there kills all pending timeout events anyway, and it uses sigsetjmp(..., 1) so that the appropriate signal mask is restored. So errors thrown outside any transaction should be OK already, and cleaning up in AbortTransaction and AbortSubTransaction should be enough to fix these issues. (We're assuming that any code that catches a query cancel error and doesn't re-throw it will do at least a subtransaction abort to clean up; but that was pretty much required already by other subsystems.) Lastly, ProcSleep should not clear the LOCK_TIMEOUT indicator flag when disabling that event: if a lock timeout interrupt happened after the lock was granted, the ensuing query cancel is still going to happen at the next CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS, and we want to report it as a lock timeout not a user cancel. Per reports from Dan Wood. Back-patch to 9.3 where the new timeout handling infrastructure was introduced. We may at some point decide to back-patch the signal unblocking changes further, but I'll desist from that until we hear actual field complaints about it. |

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
