Any transactions found as still prepared by a checkpoint have their state data read from the WAL records generated by PREPARE TRANSACTION before being moved into their new location within pg_twophase/. While reading such records, the WAL reader uses the callback read_local_xlog_page() to read a page, that is shared across various parts of the system. This callback, since1148e22a, has introduced an update of ThisTimeLineID when reading a record while in recovery, which is potentially helpful in the context of cascading WAL senders. This update of ThisTimeLineID interacts badly with the checkpointer if a promotion happens while some 2PC data is read from its record, as, by changing ThisTimeLineID, any follow-up WAL records would be written to an timeline older than the promoted one. This results in consistency issues. For instance, a subsequent server restart would cause a failure in finding a valid checkpoint record, resulting in a PANIC, for instance. This commit changes the code reading the 2PC data to reset the timeline once the 2PC record has been read, to prevent messing up with the static state of the checkpointer. It would be tempting to do the same thing directly in read_local_xlog_page(). However, based on the discussion that has led to1148e22a, users may rely on the updates of ThisTimeLineID when a WAL record page is read in recovery, so changing this callback could break some cases that are working currently. A TAP test reproducing the issue is added, relying on a PITR to precisely trigger a promotion with a prepared transaction still tracked. Per discussion with Heikki Linnakangas, Kyotaro Horiguchi, Fujii Masao and myself.

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/.
