Avoid potential deadlock during catalog cache initialization
|

|
(Nikhil Sontakke)
|
||||||
|
</para>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<para>
|
||||||
|
In some cases the cache loading code would acquire share lock on a
|
||||||
|
system index before locking the index's catalog. This could deadlock
|
||||||
|
against processes trying to acquire exclusive locks in the other,
|
||||||
|
more standard order.

uses for such a structure, they don't seem compelling enough to

justify the effort required to make sure it always works safely.

However, if your installation was upgraded from a previous major
|

|
release by running <application>pg_upgrade</>, you should take
|
||||||
|
action to prevent possible data loss due to a now-fixed bug in
|
||||||
|
<application>pg_upgrade</>. The recommended solution is to run
|
||||||
|
<command>VACUUM FREEZE</> on all TOAST tables.

||||||

Fix <application>pg_upgrade</>'s handling of TOAST tables

The <structname>pg_class</>.<structfield>relfrozenxid</> value for

|
TOAST tables was not correctly copied into the new installation
|
||||||

during <application>pg_upgrade</>. This could later result in

needed to validate tuples in the TOAST tables, leading to

This error poses a significant risk of data loss for installations
|
||||||
|
that have been upgraded with <application>pg_upgrade</>. This patch
|
||||||
|
corrects the problem for future uses of <application>pg_upgrade</>,
|
||||||
|
but does not in itself cure the issue in installations that have been
|
||||||
|
processed with a buggy version of <application>pg_upgrade</>.

This prevents scenarios wherein the server could recurse infinitely

In some cases the cache loading code would acquire share lock on a

However, if your installation was upgraded from a previous major

|
release by running <application>pg_upgrade</>, you should take
|
||||||
|
action to prevent possible data loss due to a now-fixed bug in
|

<application>pg_upgrade</>. The recommended solution is to run
|
||||||
|
<command>VACUUM FREEZE</> on all TOAST tables.

Fix <application>pg_upgrade</>'s handling of TOAST tables

The <structname>pg_class</>.<structfield>relfrozenxid</> value for

TOAST tables was not correctly copied into the new installation

during <application>pg_upgrade</>. This could later result in

This error poses a significant risk of data loss for installations

|
that have been upgraded with <application>pg_upgrade</>. This patch
|
||||||
|
corrects the problem for future uses of <application>pg_upgrade</>,
|

|
but does not in itself cure the issue in installations that have been
|
||||||
|
processed with a buggy version of <application>pg_upgrade</>.
