Here it is(fd.c).
/* * If performing this write will increase the file size, then abort if it will * exceed temp_file_limit */if
(temp_file_limit>= 0 && VfdCache[file].fdstate & FD_TEMPORARY){ if (VfdCache[file].seekPos + amount >=
VfdCache[file].fileSize) { increaseSize = true; if ((temporary_files_size + (double)amount) / 1024.0 >
(double)temp_file_limit) ereport(ERROR, (errcode(ERRCODE_QUERY_CANCELED),
errmsg("aborting due to exceeding temp file limit, current usage %dkB, requested size %dkB, thus it will
exceedtemp file limit %dkB", (int)(temporary_files_size/1024),
amount, temp_file_limit))); }}
I also attached the whole patch against fd.c at the point when Mark
proposed the changes.
