Description:
Hi，
I'm R&D engineer of HighGo Co. Ltd.
i run the test case as below.
I install the PG at location "D:\highgo\database\", then i create a table
space with "create tablespace spacetest location 'D:\highgo\database\'"
then make the PG crash.
In crash recovery, SyncDataDirectory() will be called in function
StartupXLOG(), in this function will call walkdir() to fsync the dir and its
contents.
Because of that the table space spacetest is point to data dir of PG, here
is 'D:\highgo\database\',
so function walkdir will fall into recursion trap due to lstat is defined to
stat in windows environment when the pg_tblspc is handled.
Due to windows restrict the length of filename to 255, so the recursion will
terminate when the length of file name reach 255.
Although， this issue will not affect the startup of PG but i think this
issue should be considered to fix.
the logs are showed as below.
