We've heard a couple of reports of people having trouble with multi-gigabyte-sized query-texts files. It occurred to me that on 32-bit platforms, there could be an issue with integer overflow of calculations associated with the total query text size. Address that with several changes: 1. Limit pg_stat_statements.max to INT_MAX / 2 not INT_MAX. The hashtable code will bound it to that anyway unless "long" is 64 bits. We still need overflow guards on its use, but this helps. 2. Add a check to prevent extending the query-texts file to more than MaxAllocHugeSize. If it got that big, qtext_load_file would certainly fail, so there's not much point in allowing it. Without this, we'd need to consider whether extent, query_offset, and related variables shouldn't be off_t not size_t. 3. Adjust the comparisons in need_gc_qtexts() to be done in 64-bit arithmetic on all platforms. It appears possible that under duress those multiplications could overflow 32 bits, yielding a false conclusion that we need to garbage-collect the texts file, which could lead to repeatedly garbage-collecting after every hash table insertion. Per report from Bruno da Silva. I'm not convinced that these issues fully explain his problem; there may be some other bug that's contributing to the query-texts file becoming so large in the first place. But it did get that big, so #2 is a reasonable defense, and #3 could explain the reported performance difficulties. (See also commit 8bbe4cbd9, which addressed some related bugs. The second Discussion: link is the thread that led up to that.) This issue is old, and is primarily a problem for old platforms, so back-patch.

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/.
