The following bug has been logged on the website: Bug reference: 13657 Logged by: Maksym Boguk Email address: maxim.boguk@gmail.com PostgreSQL version: 9.4.4 Operating system: Linux Description: Hi, On one of 9.4.4 replica database I had found strange issue with stuck query and stuck wal replay process waiting each other but with no detectable deadlock condtions. Stuck query runs: SELECT schemaname, relname, pg_relation_size(relid) as table_size, pg_indexes_size(relid) as table_indexes_size, seq_scan, coalesce(idx_scan,0) as idx_scan, seq_tup_read, coalesce(idx_tup_fetch,0) as idx_tup_fetch, n_tup_ins as inserted, n_tup_upd as updated, n_tup_del as deleted, n_tup_hot_upd as hot_updated FROM pg_stat_user_tables In pg_stat_activity it's on waiting state. Locks for this query: postgres=# select * from pg_locks where pid=862 order by granted, relation; locktype | database | relation | page | tuple | virtualxid | transactionid | classid | objid | objsubid | virtualtransaction | pid | mode | granted | fastpath ------------+----------+----------+------+-------+------------+---------------+---------+-------+----------+--------------------+-----+-----------------+---------+---------- relation | 16424 | 17987 | | | | | | | | 7/924904 | 862 | AccessShareLock | f | f relation | 16424 | 1259 | | | | | | | | 7/924904 | 862 | AccessShareLock | t | t relation | 16424 | 2610 | | | | | | | | 7/924904 | 862 | AccessShareLock | t | t relation | 16424 | 2615 | | | | | | | | 7/924904 | 862 | AccessShareLock | t | t relation | 16424 | 2662 | | | | | | | | 7/924904 | 862 | AccessShareLock | t | t relation | 16424 | 2663 | | | | | | | | 7/924904 | 862 | AccessShareLock | t | t relation | 16424 | 2678 | | | | | | | | 7/924904 | 862 | AccessShareLock | t | t relation | 16424 | 2679 | | | | | | | | 7/924904 | 862 | AccessShareLock | t | t relation | 16424 | 2684 | | | | | | | | 7/924904 | 862 | AccessShareLock | t | t relation | 16424 | 2685 | | | | | | | | 7/924904 | 862 | AccessShareLock | t | t relation | 16424 | 3455 | | | | | | | | 7/924904 | 862 | AccessShareLock | t | t relation | 16424 | 11221 | | | | | | | | 7/924904 | 862 | AccessShareLock | t | t relation | 16424 | 11236 | | | | | | | | 7/924904 | 862 | AccessShareLock | t | t virtualxid | | | | | 7/924904 | | | | | 7/924904 | 862 | ExclusiveLock | t | t So not granted an single lock on relation 17987 (just common table inside the database). Now lets see whats going on with wal replay: ps -axuww | grep recover postgres 26786 2.5 0.0 177620 76784 ? Ss Sep30 48:27 postgres: startup process recovering 00000001000061A0000000AE waiting So wal replay waiting for something. Lets see what locks wal replay have: postgres=# select * from pg_locks where pid=26786 order by granted, relation; locktype | database | relation | page | tuple | virtualxid | transactionid | classid | objid | objsubid | virtualtransaction | pid | mode | granted | fastpath ------------+----------+----------+------+-------+------------+---------------+---------+-------+----------+--------------------+-------+---------------------+---------+---------- relation | 16424 | 17987 | | | | | | | | 1/0 | 26786 | AccessExclusiveLock | t | f virtualxid | | | | | 1/1 | | | | | 1/0 | 26786 | ExclusiveLock | t | t (2 rows) So wal replay got AccessExclusiveLock on relation 17987 and waiting for something. And query waiting for AccessShareLock on the same relation. Once I killed waiting query, wal replay resume with no issues. So seems there are some king of undetected deadlock condition between query and wal replay. PS: situation reproduced every few hours so it's possible to debug but I have no good idea where to start. Kind Regards, Maksym

The same database replica (server= ), the same monitoring queries, all the same but using PostgreSQL =E2=80=8B9.2.13 = doesn't have that problem.

A deadlock is a different kind of thing that "someone started a transaction and then left on vacation for a month without closing it" Cheers, Jeff

A > deadlock is a different kind of thing that "someone started a transaction > and then left on vacation for a month without closing it" Looking at that more closely... We know that a startup process is the only process in a standby that can take an exclusive lock on a relation, per LockAcquireExtended in lock.c and that this lock is taken after replaying XLOG_STANDBY_LOCK. The deadlock reported by Maxim indicates that the deadlock is showing up in heap_xlog_clean, which may happen in the case of a VACUUM for example. It seems to me that we could have a deadlock if some WAL records had their order swapped. For example, the EXCLUSIVE lock is replayed first and the cleanup of relation pages happens before the lock has been released, freezing the other backend using pg_relation_size on a standby waiting for the access share lock indefinitely. This would indeed prevent recovery conflict to work properly, because we should not hold an exclusive lock on the relation while replaying heap_xlog_clean. Hence it seems to me that we may have an issue with 68a2e52 (XLogInsert multi-slot), and it has been introduced in 9.4. We could perhaps think about adding some safeguards in ResolveRecoveryConflictWithSnapshot. Maxim, are you using commit_delay? It may be possible that this is fixed by bab9599 that has been pushed after 9.4.4 was released. Could you also check if HEAD or the soon-to-be-released 9.4.5 fix your problem? Regards, -- Michael

Right. This may be possible as well. > Although I also haven't yet been able to reproduce the deadlock under this assumption. Yeah, we are a bit blind here. Maxim, did you perform an operation on master that took an exclusive lock on the relation involved here? Was this relation a table, an index? If an index, what kind of index? I think that such information may help us narrowing down a test case. -- Michael

Maxim, did you get the occasion to test your setup with 9.4.5? It seems that your environment is more likely to reproduce this deadlock. -- Michael

I think I also have this issue, but with 9.2.13, today I see dozens of waiting requests at standby (via pgadmin Tools-Server Status).

Thanks! This blows away my previous assumption that this was limited to 9.4~. If you still have the standby in a frozen state, where is the startup process stucked? Could you get a backtrace from it? Perhaps it is replaying a XLOG_HEAP2_CLEAN record. Did you run any queries on the standby that took locks on the renamed relation 16993? Also, segment 0000001000024C5E000000DF may be an important piece of the puzzle as the records replayed may be in an unexpected order. Could it be possible to get a dump of it using xlogdump (Postgres core includes it from 9.3~) around the point where startup process has been waiting? -- Michael

Thanks, I didn't know this one, that's in lazy_truncate_heap. Still I don't think that this would normally deadlock except if the order of the records was somewhat swapped: if the truncation actually happens what is generated is XLOG_SMGR_TRUNCATE and this code path does not perform recovery conflict checks. A XLOG_HEAP2_CLEAN record is generated before the exclusive lock is taken for truncation. -- Michael
