Pushed as commit 714bd9e. The failure so far is
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=skink&dt=2025-04-20%2015%3A36%3A35
with these highlights:
pg_ctl: server does not shut down
2025-04-20 17:27:35.735 UTC [1576688][postmaster][:0] LOG: received immediate shutdown request
2025-04-20 17:27:35.969 UTC [1577386][archiver][:0] FATAL: archive command was terminated by signal 3: Quit
2025-04-20 17:27:35.969 UTC [1577386][archiver][:0] DETAIL: The failed archive command was: cp
"pg_wal/00000001000000000000006D"
"/home/bf/bf-build/skink-master/HEAD/pgsql.build/testrun/recovery/045_archive_restartpoint/data/t_045_archive_restartpoint_primary_data/archives/00000001000000000000006D"
The checkpoints and WAL creation took 30s, but archiving was only 20% done
(based on file name 00000001000000000000006D) at the 360s PGCTLTIMEOUT. I can
reproduce this if I test with valgrind --trace-children=yes. With my normal
valgrind settings, the whole test file takes only 18s. I recommend one of
these changes to skink:
- Add --trace-children-skip='/bin/*,/usr/bin/*' so valgrind doesn't instrument
"sh" and "cp" commands.
- Remove --trace-children=yes
Andres, what do you think about making one of those skink configuration
changes? Alternatively, I could make the test poll until archiving catches
up. However, that would take skink about 30min, and I expect little value
from 30min of valgrind instrumenting the "cp" command.
