  1. The XLogFindNextRecord() routine find incorrect record start point after a long continuation record

    Andrei Lepikhov <a.lepikhov@postgrespro.ru> — 2019-11-06T02:40:48Z

    I found this in our multimaster project on PostgreSQL 11.5. It is 
difficult to reproduce this error, but I will try to do it if necessary.

The rest of a continuation WAL-record can exactly match the block size. 
In this case, we need to switch targetPagePtr to the next block before 
calculating the starting point of the next WAL-record.
See the patch in attachment for the bug fix.

What's the error you actually saw after reading the record in
xlogreader.c?  If you have past WAL archives, perhaps you are able to
reproduce the problem with a given WAL segment and pg_waldump?

This code rings a bell as of this thread which led to commit bab7823:

I saw the message:
pg_waldump: xlogreader.c:264: XLogReadRecord: <Text in russian> 
"((RecPtr) % 8192 >= (((uintptr_t) ((sizeof(XLogPageHeaderData))) + ((8) 
- 1)) & ~((uintptr_t) ((8) - 1))))" <Text in russian>

Yes, I reproduced error with pg_waldump too. The patch in previous 
letter fixed this problem.

some details:
I have the record:
rmgr: Transaction len (rec/tot): 86/ 86, tx: 0, lsn: 0/11FFFF98, prev 
0/11FFFDA8, desc: COMMIT_PREPARED

The next record occupied the rest of segment No.11 and 8151 bytes of the 
first block of the segment No.12, i.e. its size is 8167 bytes.

Problematic record (I got it by pg_waldump after applying the patch) is:
rmgr: Heap len (rec/tot): 71/ 8167, tx: 1249835485258, lsn: 0/11FFFFF0, 
prev 0/11FFFF98, desc: LOCK off 8: xid 1249835485258: flags 0 LOCK_ONLY 
EXCL_LOCK KEYS_UPDATED , blkref #0: rel 1663/13121/16474 blk 10880 FPW

Good catch!

I created the problematic WAL file artificially by using
pg_logical_emit_message() and sucessfully reproduced
the error. I attached the WAL file that I created. You can
reproduce the issue by

    pg_waldump 000000010000000000000008 -s 0/08002028

The patch looks good to me. Barrying any objection, I will commit it.
XLogFindNextRecord() must return the valid record starting position,
but currently could return the starting position of WAL page
(not valid WAL record) in the case that you described. This is
the cause of the issue.

Good idea.  I didn't know this one.

Assertion failure reproduced here.
