When using GSSAPI encryption in non-blocking mode, libpq sometimes failed with "GSSAPI caller failed to retransmit all data needing to be retried". The cause is that pqPutMsgEnd rounds its transmit request down to an even multiple of 8K, and sometimes that can lead to not requesting a write of data that was requested to be written (but reported as not written) earlier. That can upset pg_GSS_write's logic for dealing with not-yet-written data, since it's possible the data in question had already been incorporated into an encrypted packet that we weren't able to send during the previous call. We could fix this with a one-or-two-line hack to disable pqPutMsgEnd's round-down behavior, but that seems like making the caller work around a behavior that pg_GSS_write shouldn't expose in this way. Instead, adjust pg_GSS_write to never report a partial write: it either reports a complete write, or reflects the failure of the lower-level pqsecure_raw_write call. The requirement still exists for the caller to present at least as much data as on the previous call, but with the caller-visible write start point not moving there is no temptation for it to present less. We lose some ability to reclaim buffer space early, but I doubt that that will make much difference in practice. This also gets rid of a rather dubious assumption that "any interesting failure condition (from pqsecure_raw_write) will recur on the next try". We've not seen failure reports traceable to that, but I've never trusted it particularly and am glad to remove it. Make the same adjustments to the equivalent backend routine be_gssapi_write(). It is probable that there's no bug on the backend side, since we don't have a notion of nonblock mode there; but we should keep the logic the same to ease future maintenance. Per bug #18210 from Lars Kanis. Back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/18210-4c6d0b14627f2eb8@postgresql.org |

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: https://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. 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 https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
