Commit4909b38af0
introduced logic to distribute invalidation messages from catalog-modifying transactions to all concurrent in-progress transactions. However, since each transaction distributes not only its original invalidation messages but also previously distributed messages to other transactions, this leads to an exponential increase in allocation request size for invalidation messages, ultimately causing memory allocation failure. This commit fixes this issue by tracking distributed invalidation messages separately per decoded transaction and not redistributing these messages to other in-progress transactions. The maximum size of distributed invalidation messages that one transaction can store is limited to MAX_DISTR_INVAL_MSG_PER_TXN (8MB). Once the size of the distributed invalidation messages exceeds this threshold, we invalidate all caches in locations where distributed invalidation messages need to be executed. Back-patch to all supported versions where we introduced the fix by commit4909b38af0
. Note that this commit adds two new fields to ReorderBufferTXN to store the distributed transactions. This change breaks ABI compatibility in back branches, affecting third-party extensions that depend on the size of the ReorderBufferTXN struct, though this scenario seems unlikely. Additionally, it adds a new flag to the txn_flags field of ReorderBufferTXN to indicate distributed invalidation message overflow. This should not affect existing implementations, as it is unlikely that third-party extensions use unused bits in the txn_flags field.
