I encountered an error when I fast shutdown 8.1.1 on Win2k:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    FATAL:  semctl(1672698088, 12, SETVAL, 0) failed:  A blocking operation
 | 
						|
    was interrupted by a call to WSACancelBlockingCall.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
A similar error on 8.1/win2003 was reported on pgsql-general (sorry, I can't
 | 
						|
dig out the
 | 
						|
original post from our web archives):

    2005-12-12 20:30:00 FATAL:  semctl(50884184, 15, SETVAL, 0) failed: A
 | 
						|
    non-blocking socket operation could not be completed immediately.
 | 
						|
 |

 | 
						|
 | 
						|
There are two problems here:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
(1) Why a socket error?
 | 
						|
In port/win32.h, we have
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#undef EAGAIN
 | 
						|
#undef EINTR
 | 
						|
#define EINTR WSAEINTR
 | 
						|
#define EAGAIN WSAEWOULDBLOCK
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
What's the rationale of doing so?
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
(2) What's happened here?
 | 
						|
It may come from PGSemaphoreReset(), and win32 semop() looks like this:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  ret = WaitForMultipleObjectsEx(2, wh, FALSE, (sops[0].sem_flg &
 | 
						|
IPC_NOWAIT) ? 0 : INFINITE, TRUE);
 | 
						|
  ...
 | 
						|
  else if (ret == WAIT_OBJECT_0 + 1 || ret == WAIT_IO_COMPLETION)
 | 
						|
  {
 | 
						|
   pgwin32_dispatch_queued_signals();
 | 
						|
   errno = EINTR;
 | 
						|
  }
 | 
						|
  else if (ret == WAIT_TIMEOUT)
 | 
						|
   errno = EAGAIN;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
So it seems the EINTR is caused by an incoming signal, the EAGAIN is caused
 | 
						|
by a TIMEOUT ... any ideas?
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

We did this so that our code could refer to EINTR/EAGAIN without
 | 
						|
port-specific tests.

I looked at the documentation for the function:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dllproc/base/waitformultipleobjectsex.asp
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
and it isn't clear what return failure values it has.  We certainly
 | 
						|
could loop on WSAEINTR.  Can you test it?

AFAICS, by doing so, the EINTR/EAGAIN will be translated into
 | 
						|
WSAINTR/WSAEWOULDBLOCK through *all* the backend code. That's seems not
 | 
						|
appropriate for the code not involving any socket stuff ... I think we need
 | 
						|
a fix here.

Yeah, looking at other code of using semop(), we could plug in a loop in the
 | 
						|
win32 semctl():
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   /* Quickly lock/unlock the semaphore (if we can) */
 | 
						|
+ do
 | 
						|
+ {
 | 
						|
+    errStatus = semop(semId, &sops, 1);
 | 
						|
+ } while (errStatus < 0 && errno == EINTR);
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
   if (semop(semId, &sops, 1) < 0)
 | 
						|
    return -1;
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
But:
 | 
						|
(1) The EINTR problem happens rather rare, so testing it is difficult;
 | 
						|
(2)  I would rather not doing the above changes before we understand what's
 | 
						|
happened here, especially when we have seen a EAGAIN reported here.

Uh, how do we handle it now?  I thought we did just that.

OK, so how do we find the answer?
