debbie crashing on PostgreSQL 9.6 builds

Reported by: robe Owned by: robe
Priority: blocker Milestone: PostGIS PostgreSQL
Component: build Version: master
Keywords: postgresql 9.6 Cc:

Description

I thought this was just a fluke, but its been happening for past couple of runs. Given that winnie is doing okay and she builds for PostgreSQL 9.6beta3, I'm suspecting its something in PostgreSQL 9.6 that changed recently since debbie builds against PostgreSQL 9.6 head.

— last fail is this https://debbie.postgis.net/job/PostGIS_Regress/4232/consoleFull

Further information looking at the failures, started failing after these changes in PostgreSQL 9.6 repo:

Add missing casts in information schema (Commit 6a9e09c49e1405c47b0870de73fec5748302f92d by peter_e)

Add missing casts in information schema 
  From: Clément Prévost)

Do not let PostmasterContext survive into background workers.
( Commit ef1b5af82339a49564037be656a3ff657fb2a246 by Tom Lane)

Make INSERT-from-multiple-VALUES-rows handle targetlist indirection (Commit a3c7a993d5eb29df4d33075b83c75ae25f257897 by Tom Lane)

Prevent "snapshot too old" from trying to return pruned TOAST tuples. (Commit 3e2f3c2e423b3ae906668c186bac79522b8e3e29 by rhaas)

doc: Move indexterms to avoid whitespace issue in man pages (Commit 81568a971f2634bc447af2788eafee899f2db2a1 by peter_e)

The last one we can rule out since it's just a doc change.

I built latest postgresql git branch under mingw and was also able to achieve a crash.

Log shows this:

DETAIL:  Failed process was running: CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW geography_columns AS

			current_database() AS f_table_catalog, 
			n.nspname AS f_table_schema,

	        AND a.attrelid = c.oid
	        AND c.relnamespace = n.oid
	        AND NOT pg_is_other_temp_schema(c.relnamespace)
	        AND has_table_privilege( c.oid, 'SELECT'::text );
HINT:  See C include file "ntstatus.h" for a description of the hexadecimal value.
LOG:  terminating any other active server processes
WARNING:  terminating connection because of crash of another server process
DETAIL:  The postmaster has commanded this server process to roll back the current transaction and exit, because another server process exited abnormally and possibly corrupted shared memory.

What's interesting is that the crash doesn't happen if installing via extension. Only old fashioned make check triggers this

-- so this works
make check RUNTESTFLAGS=--extension

-- so this crashes
make check


I think the culprit might be:


{{{
Prevent "snapshot too old" from trying to return pruned TOAST tuples. (Commit 3e2f3c2e423b3ae906668c186bac79522b8e3e29 by rhaas)
}}}

Because the earlier likely cause Tom Lane's commit (run that included that was successful).  Might have been a fluke which is why I haven't ruled that out.

Milestone: PostGIS 2.3.0PostGIS PostgreSQL
Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

Tom Lane reports should be fixed now. Will rerun to confirm and reopen if it isn't.

comment:8 by robe, 8 years ago

well it's crashing somewhere else now so I think it's a different issue though the original might have been fixed now it's segfaulting everywhere particularly bitmap index scan

Even build of PostgreSQL 9.6 is segfaulting.

purging the source folder and repulling from git.postgresql.org seems to have fixed this issue.
