From acc1b7f7a5e04f43d6487444a9f15952e9d922df Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jelte Fennema-Nio Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2024 16:25:16 +0100 Subject: [PATCH v11 11/14] Add GUC contexts for protocol extensions This patch adds two new GUC contexts: PGC_PROTOCOL and PGC_SU_PROTOCOL. These new GUC contexts are intended to be used by protocol extension parameters. Any intermediary component that works at the protocol level, such as clients libraries or connection poolsers, should be notified when changes to such parameters are made because these parameters control the behaviour and interpretation of the protocol. If changes are made without these intermediary components realizing they might interpret protocol messages incorrectly. It's also possible that such intermediary components themselves have certain requirements on the value of such parameters to be able to function correctly. So they might want to block certain changes, or modify the requested value before sending it to the PostgreSQL server. Having these protocol extension parameters use PGC_BACKEND is also not an option, because then these parameters would be unchangable once the connection is set up. Which would limit the ways in which they could be used, especially when considering connection poolers that might want to change the protocol parameters based on the client that the server connection is assigned to. --- src/backend/tcop/postgres.c | 19 ++++++++++-- src/backend/utils/misc/guc.c | 48 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- src/backend/utils/misc/guc_tables.c | 2 ++ src/include/utils/guc.h | 2 ++ 4 files changed, 68 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/backend/tcop/postgres.c b/src/backend/tcop/postgres.c index 30d4732eaa2..5f66e089d7e 100644 --- a/src/backend/tcop/postgres.c +++ b/src/backend/tcop/postgres.c @@ -4876,18 +4876,33 @@ PostgresMain(const char *dbname, const char *username) { const char *parameter_name; const char *parameter_value; + struct config_generic *config; forbidden_in_wal_sender(firstchar); parameter_name = pq_getmsgstring(&input_message); parameter_value = pq_getmsgstring(&input_message); + pq_getmsgend(&input_message); - start_xact_command(); + config = find_option(parameter_name, false, false, ERROR); + if (config->context == PGC_PROTOCOL || config->context == PGC_SU_PROTOCOL) + { + if (IsTransactionOrTransactionBlock()) + { + ereport(ERROR, + (errcode(ERRCODE_ACTIVE_SQL_TRANSACTION), + errmsg("parameter \"%s\" cannot be changed within a transaction", parameter_name))); + } + } + else + { + start_xact_command(); + } SetConfigOption( parameter_name, parameter_value, - (superuser() ?
