When releasing an ephemeral replication slot, ReplicationSlotRelease()
drops the slot via ReplicationSlotDropAcquired().
However, after dropping the slot, ReplicationSlotRelease() continued
to use its local "slot" pointer, which still referenced the dropped
slot's former shared-memory entry. It could then update fields such as
effective_xmin in that entry.
Once an ephemeral slot has been dropped (via ReplicationSlotDropAcquired()),
its slot array entry can be reused immediately by another backend
creating a new slot. As a result, those updates could corrupt
the state of an unrelated replication slot.
Fix by skipping those shared-memory updates for phemeral slots and
performing them only for non-ephemeral slots, whose shared-memory
entries remain valid after release.

When reusing an existing WAL receiver after it has reached
WALRCV_WAITING for new instructions, RequestXLogStreaming() copied
PrimaryConnInfo into WalRcv->conninfo before switching the state to
WALRCV_RESTARTING. At that point ready_to_display could still be true,
so pg_stat_wal_receiver could expose the raw connection string,
including sensitive fields, but it should only show the user-displayable
version of the connection string.
WALRCV_RESTARTING does not establish a new connection. The waiting WAL
receiver reuses its existing connection and only needs a new startpoint
and timeline, so there is no need to copy the raw connection string into
shared memory again. Let's only copy conninfo when launching a new WAL
receiver after WALRCV_STOPPED, not while waiting for instructions.
This commit adds coverage for the case fixed by this commit to the
timeline-switch test by verifying that the WAL receiver conninfo remains
consistent across the jump.

Three locations use Assert() to guard against a mismatch between the
number of columns advertised in the RELATION message and the number
actually received in the subsequent INSERT/UPDATE tuple message. Since
these values originate from the publisher, the check must survive into
production builds.
A malicious or buggy publisher can send a RELATION claiming N columns
and an INSERT claiming M < N columns. The subscriber's apply worker
indexes into colvalues[]/colstatus[] using column indices from the
RELATION message's attribute map, causing a heap out-of-bounds read when
the tuple's column array is smaller than expected. We've looked, without
success, for a scenario in which the publisher holds sufficient control
over these out-of-bounds bytes to exploit this or even to reach a
SIGSEGV. Despite not finding one, the code has been fragile. Back-patch

Previously, pg_stat_progress_copy in the subscriber could continue to show
the initial COPY operation for logical replication table synchronization as
active even after the data copy had finished. The stale progress entry
remained visible until synchronization caught up with the publisher.
This happened because the table synchronization code called BeginCopyFrom()
and CopyFrom(), but failed to call EndCopyFrom() afterward.
This commit fixes the issue by adding the missing EndCopyFrom() call so that
the COPY progress state in the subscriber is cleared as soon as the initial
data copy completes.

pg_stat_replication is documented to keep the last measured lag values for
a short time after the standby catches up, and then set them to NULL when
there is no WAL activity. However, previously lag values could become NULL
prematurely even while WAL activity was ongoing, especially in logical
replication.
This happened because the code cleared lag when two consecutive reply messages
indicated that the apply location had caught up with the send location.
It did not verify that the reported positions were unchanged, so lag could be
cleared even when positions had advanced between messages. In logical
replication, where the apply location often quickly catches up, this issue was
more likely to occur.
This commit fixes the issue by clearing lag only when the standby reports that
it has fully replayed WAL (i.e., both flush and apply locations have caught up
with the send location) and the write/flush/apply positions remain unchanged
across two consecutive reply messages.
The second message with unchanged positions typically results from
wal_receiver_status_interval, so lag values are cleared after that interval
when there is no activity. This avoids showing stale lag data while preventing
premature NULL values.
Even with this fix, lag may rarely become NULL during activity if identical
position reports are sent repeatedly. Eliminating such duplicate messages
would address this fully, but that change is considered too invasive for stable
branches and will be handled in master only later.

Previously, when logical replication was running, shutting down
the publisher could cause the logical walsender to enter a busy loop
and prevent the publisher from completing shutdown.
During shutdown, the logical walsender waits for all pending WAL
to be written out. However, some WAL records could remain unflushed,
causing the walsender to wait indefinitely.
The issue occurred because the walsender used XLogBackgroundFlush() to
flush pending WAL. This function does not guarantee that all WAL is written.
For example, WAL generated by a transaction without an assigned
transaction ID that aborts might not be flushed.
This commit fixes the bug by making the logical walsender call XLogFlush()
instead, ensuring that all pending WAL is written and preventing
the busy loop during shutdown.

A race condition could cause a newly created replication slot to become
invalidated between WAL reservation and a checkpoint.
Previously, if the required WAL was removed, we retried the reservation
process. However, the slot could still be invalidated before the retry if
the WAL was not yet removed but the checkpoint advanced the redo pointer
beyond the slot's intended restart LSN and computed the minimum LSN that
needs to be preserved for the slots.
The fix is to acquire an exclusive lock on ReplicationSlotAllocationLock
during WAL reservation, and a shared lock during the minimum LSN
calculation at checkpoints to serialize the process. This ensures that, if
WAL reservation occurs first, the checkpoint waits until restart_lsn is
updated before calculating the minimum LSN. If the checkpoint runs first,
subsequent WAL reservations pick a position at or after the latest
checkpoint's redo pointer.
We used a similar fix in HEAD (via commit 006dd4b2e5) and 18. The
difference is that in 17 and prior branches we need to additionally handle
the race condition with slot's minimum LSN computation during checkpoints.

When processing the "publish" options of an ALTER PUBLICATION command,
we call SplitIdentifierString() to split the options into a List of
strings. Since SplitIdentifierString() modifies the delimiter
character and puts NULs in their place, this would overwrite the memory
of the AlterPublicationStmt. Later in AlterPublicationOptions(), the
modified AlterPublicationStmt is copied for event triggers, which would
result in the event trigger only seeing the first "publish" option
rather than all options that were specified in the command.
To fix this, make a copy of the string before passing to
SplitIdentifierString().
Here we also adjust a similar case in the pgoutput plugin. There's no
known issues caused by SplitIdentifierString() here, so this is being
done out of paranoia.
Thanks to Henson Choi for putting together an example case showing the

Previously, ReplicationSlotsComputeRequiredXmin() computed the oldest
xmin across all slots without holding ProcArrayLock (when
already_locked is false), acquiring the lock just before updating the
replication slot xmin.
This could lead to a race condition: if a backend created a new slot
and updates the global replication slot xmin, another backend
concurrently running ReplicationSlotsComputeRequiredXmin() could
overwrite that update with an invalid or stale value. This happens
because the concurrent backend might have computed the aggregate xmin
before the new slot was accounted for, but applied the update after
the new slot had already updated the global value.
In the reported failure, a walsender for an apply worker computed
InvalidTransactionId as the oldest xmin and overwrote a valid
replication slot xmin value computed by a walsender for a tablesync
worker. Consequently, the tablesync worker computed a transaction ID
via GetOldestSafeDecodingTransactionId() effectively without
considering the replication slot xmin. This led to the error "cannot
build an initial slot snapshot as oldest safe xid %u follows
snapshot's xmin %u", which was an assertion failure prior to commit
240e0dbacd.
To fix this, we acquire ReplicationSlotControlLock in exclusive mode
during slot creation to perform the initial update of the slot
xmin. In ReplicationSlotsComputeRequiredXmin(), we hold
ReplicationSlotControlLock in shared mode until the global slot xmin
is updated in ProcArraySetReplicationSlotXmin(). This prevents
concurrent computations and updates of the global xmin by other
backends during the initial slot xmin update process, while still
permitting concurrent calls to ReplicationSlotsComputeRequiredXmin().

Since ce0fdbfe97, a replication slot and an origin are created by each
tablesync worker, whose information is stored in both a catalog and
shared memory (once the origin is set up in the latter case). The
transaction where the origin is created is the same as the one that runs
the initial COPY, with the catalog state of the origin becoming visible
for other sessions only once the COPY transaction has committed. The
catalog state is coupled with a state in shared memory, initialized at
the same time as the origin created in the catalogs. Note that the
transaction doing the initial data sync can take a long time, time that
depends on the amount of data to transfer from a publication node to its
subscriber node.
Now, when a DROP SUBSCRIPTION is executed, all its workers are stopped
with the origins removed. The removal of each origin relies on a
catalog lookup. A worker still running the initial COPY would fail its
transaction, with the catalog state of the origin rolled back while the
shared memory state remains around. The session running the DROP
SUBSCRIPTION should be in charge of cleaning up the catalog and the
shared memory state, but as there is no data in the catalogs the shared
memory state is not removed. This issue would leave orphaned origin
data in shared memory, leading to a confusing state as it would still
show up in pg_replication_origin_status. Note that this shared memory
data is sticky, being flushed on disk in replorigin_checkpoint at
checkpoint. This prevents other origins from reusing a slot position
in the shared memory data.
To address this problem, the commit moves the creation of the origin at
the end of the transaction that precedes the one executing the initial
COPY, making the origin immediately visible in the catalogs for other
sessions, giving DROP SUBSCRIPTION a way to know about it. A different
solution would have been to clean up the shared memory state using an
abort callback within the tablesync worker. The solution of this commit
is more consistent with the apply worker that creates an origin in a
short transaction.
A test is added in the subscription test 004_sync.pl, which was able to
display the problem. The test fails when this commit is reverted.

Previously, when the replay LSN reported in feedback messages from a standby
stopped advancing, for example, due to a recovery conflict, the write_lag and
flush_lag columns in pg_stat_replication would initially update but then stop
progressing. This prevented users from correctly monitoring replication lag.
The problem occurred because when any LSN stopped updating, the lag tracker's
cyclic buffer became full (the write head reached the slowest read head).
In that state, the lag tracker could no longer compute round-trip lag values
correctly.
This commit fixes the issue by handling the slowest read entry (the one
causing the buffer to fill) as a separate overflow entry and freeing space
so the write and other read heads can continue advancing in the buffer.
As a result, write_lag and flush_lag now continue updating even if the reported
replay LSN remains stalled.

An error happening while a slot data is saved on disk in
SaveSlotToPath() could cause a state.tmp file (temporary file holding
the slot state data, renamed to its permanent name at the end of the
function) to remain around after it has been created. This temporary
file is created with O_EXCL, meaning that if an existing state.tmp is
found, its creation would fail. This would prevent the slot data to be
saved, requiring a manual intervention to remove state.tmp before being
able to save again a slot. Possible scenarios where this temporary file
could remain on disk is for example a ENOSPC case (no disk space) while
writing, syncing or renaming it. The bug reports point to a write
failure as the principal cause of the problems.
Using O_TRUNC has been argued back in 2019 as a potential solution to
discard any temporary file that could exist. This solution was rejected
as O_EXCL can also act as a safety measure when saving the slot state,
crash recovery offering cleanup guarantees post-crash. This commit uses
the alternative approach that has been suggested by Andres Freund back
in 2019. When the temporary state file cannot be written, synced,
closed or renamed (note: not when created!), an unlink() is used to
remove the temporary state file while holding the in-progress I/O
LWLock, so as any follow-up attempts to save a slot's data would not
choke on an existing file that remained around because of a previous
failure.
This problem has been reported a few times across the years, going back
to 2019, but for some reason I have never come back to do something
about it and it has been forgotten. A recent report has reminded me
that this was still a problem.

single-user mode. This commit sets ReplicationSlot->active_pid to
MyProcPid, to let the slot-related logic fall-through, considering the
single process as the one holding the slot.
Some TAP tests are added for various replication slot functions with the

and logical decoding with multiple slot types (temporary, physical vs
logical). These tests are skipped on Windows, as direct calls of
postgres --single would fail on permission failures. There is no

The DROP SUBSCRIPTION command performs several operations: it stops the
subscription workers, removes subscription-related entries from system
catalogs, and deletes the replication slot on the publisher server.
Previously, this command acquired an AccessExclusiveLock on
pg_subscription before initiating these steps.
However, while holding this lock, the command attempts to connect to the
publisher to remove the replication slot. In cases where the connection is
made to a newly created database on the same server as subscriber, the
cache-building process during connection tries to acquire an
AccessShareLock on pg_subscription, resulting in a self-deadlock.
To resolve this issue, we reduce the lock level on pg_subscription during
DROP SUBSCRIPTION from AccessExclusiveLock to RowExclusiveLock. Earlier,
the higher lock level was used to prevent the launcher from starting a new
worker during the drop operation, as a restarted worker could become
orphaned.
Now, instead of relying on a strict lock, we acquire an AccessShareLock on
the specific subscription being dropped and re-validate its existence
after acquiring the lock. If the subscription is no longer valid, the
worker exits gracefully. This approach avoids the deadlock while still
ensuring that orphan workers are not created.

Commit 4909b38af0 introduced logic to distribute invalidation messages
from catalog-modifying transactions to all concurrent in-progress
transactions. However, since each transaction distributes not only its
original invalidation messages but also previously distributed
messages to other transactions, this leads to an exponential increase
in allocation request size for invalidation messages, ultimately
causing memory allocation failure.
This commit fixes this issue by tracking distributed invalidation
messages separately per decoded transaction and not redistributing
these messages to other in-progress transactions. The maximum size of
distributed invalidation messages that one transaction can store is
limited to MAX_DISTR_INVAL_MSG_PER_TXN (8MB). Once the size of the
distributed invalidation messages exceeds this threshold, we
invalidate all caches in locations where distributed invalidation
messages need to be executed.
Back-patch to all supported versions where we introduced the fix by
commit 4909b38af0.
Note that this commit adds two new fields to ReorderBufferTXN to store
the distributed transactions. This change breaks ABI compatibility in
back branches, affecting third-party extensions that depend on the
size of the ReorderBufferTXN struct, though this scenario seems
unlikely.
Additionally, it adds a new flag to the txn_flags field of
ReorderBufferTXN to indicate distributed invalidation message
overflow. This should not affect existing implementations, as it is
unlikely that third-party extensions use unused bits in the txn_flags
field.

The patch fixes the issue with the unexpected removal of old WAL segments
after checkpoint, followed by an immediate restart. The issue occurs when
a slot is advanced after the start of the checkpoint and before old WAL
segments are removed at the end of the checkpoint.
The idea of the patch is to get the minimal restart_lsn at the beginning
of checkpoint (or restart point) creation and use this value when calculating
the oldest LSN for WAL segments removal at the end of checkpoint. This idea
was proposed by Tomas Vondra in the discussion. Unlike 291221c46575, this
fix doesn't affect ABI and is intended for back branches.

Prevent moving the confirmed_flush backwards, as this could lead to data
duplication issues caused by replicating already replicated changes.
This can happen when a client acknowledges an LSN it doesn't have to do
anything for, and thus didn't store persistently. After a restart, the
client can send the prior LSN that it stored persistently as an
acknowledgement, but we need to ignore such an LSN to avoid retreating
confirm_flush LSN.

During logical decoding, we advance catalog_xmin of logical too early in
fast_forward mode, resulting in required catalog data being removed by
vacuum. This mode is normally used to advance the slot without processing
the changes, but we still can't let the slot's xmin to advance to an
incorrect value.
Commit f49a80c481 fixed a similar issue where the logical slot's
catalog_xmin was getting advanced prematurely during non-fast-forward
mode. During xl_running_xacts processing, instead of directly advancing
the slot's xmin to the oldest running xid in the record, it allowed the
xmin to be held back for snapshots that can be used for
not-yet-replayed transactions, as those might consider older txns as
running too. However, it missed the fact that the same problem can happen
during fast_forward mode decoding, as we won't build a base snapshot in
that mode, and the future call to get_changes from the same slot can miss
seeing the required catalog changes leading to incorrect reslts.
This commit allows building the base snapshot even in fast_forward mode to
prevent the early advancement of xmin.

synchronous_standby_names cannot be reloaded safely by backends, and the
checkpointer is in charge of updating a state in shared memory if the
GUC is enabled in WalSndCtl, to let the backends know if they should
wait or not for a given LSN. This provides a strict control on the
timing of the waiting queues if the GUC is enabled or disabled, then
reloaded. The checkpointer is also in charge of waking up the backends
that could be waiting for a LSN when the GUC is disabled.
This logic had a race condition at startup, where it would be possible
for backends to not wait for a LSN even if synchronous_standby_names is
enabled. This would cause visibility issues with transactions that we
should be waiting for but they were not. The problem lasts until the
checkpointer does its initial update of the shared memory state when it
loads synchronous_standby_names.
In order to take care of this problem, the shared memory state in
WalSndCtl is extended to detect if it has been initialized by the
checkpointer, and not only check if synchronous_standby_names is
defined. In WalSndCtlData, sync_standbys_defined is renamed to
sync_standbys_status, a bits8 able to know about two states:
- If the shared memory state has been initialized. This flag is set by
the checkpointer at startup once, and never removed.
- If synchronous_standby_names is known as defined in the shared memory
state. This is the same as the previous sync_standbys_defined in
WalSndCtl.
This method gives a way for backends to decide what they should do until
the shared memory area is initialized, and they now ultimately fall back
to a check on the GUC value in this case, which is the best thing that
can be done.
Fortunately, SyncRepUpdateSyncStandbysDefined() is called immediately by
the checkpointer when this process starts, so the window is very narrow.
It is possible to enlarge the problematic window by making the
checkpointer wait at the beginning of SyncRepUpdateSyncStandbysDefined()
with a hardcoded sleep for example, and doing so has showed that a 2PC
visibility test is indeed failing. On machines slow enough, this bug
would cause spurious failures.
In 17~, we have looked at the possibility of adding an injection point
to have a reproducible test, but as the problematic window happens at
early startup, we would need to invent a way to make an injection point
optionally persistent across restarts when attached, something that
would be fine for this case as it would involve the checkpointer. This
issue is quite old, and can be reproduced on all the stable branches.

Data loss can happen when the DDLs like ALTER PUBLICATION ... ADD TABLE ...
or ALTER TYPE ... that don't take a strong lock on table happens
concurrently to DMLs on the tables involved in the DDL. This happens
because logical decoding doesn't distribute invalidations to concurrent
transactions and those transactions use stale cache data to decode the
changes. The problem becomes bigger because we keep using the stale cache
even after those in-progress transactions are finished and skip the
changes required to be sent to the client.
This commit fixes the issue by distributing invalidation messages from
catalog-modifying transactions to all concurrent in-progress transactions.
This allows the necessary rebuild of the catalog cache when decoding new
changes after concurrent DDL.
We observed performance regression primarily during frequent execution of
*publication DDL* statements that modify the published tables. The
regression is minor or nearly nonexistent for DDLs that do not affect the
published tables or occur infrequently, making this a worthwhile cost to
resolve a longstanding data loss issue.
An alternative approach considered was to take a strong lock on each
affected table during publication modification. However, this would only
address issues related to publication DDLs (but not the ALTER TYPE ...)
and require locking every relation in the database for publications
created as FOR ALL TABLES, which is impractical.
The bug exists in all supported branches, but we are backpatching till 14.
The fix for 13 requires somewhat bigger changes than this fix, so the fix
for that branch is still under discussion.

pgoutput caches the attribute map of a relation, that is free()'d only
when validating a RelationSyncEntry. However, this code path is not
taken when calling any of the SQL functions able to do some logical
decoding, like pg_logical_slot_{get,peek}_changes(), leaking some memory
into CacheMemoryContext on repeated calls.
This is a follow-up of c9b3d4909b, this time for v13 and v14. The
relation attribute map is stored in a dedicated memory context, tracked
with a static variable whose state is reset with a MemoryContext reset
callback attached to PGOutputData->context. This implementation is

The pgoutput module caches publication names in a list and frees it upon
invalidation. However, the code forgot to free the actual publication
names within the list elements, as publication names are pstrdup()'d in
GetPublication(). This would cause memory to leak in
CacheMemoryContext, bloating it over time as this context is not
cleaned.
This is a problem for WAL senders running for a long time, as an
accumulation of invalidation requests would bloat its cache memory
usage. A second case, where this leak is easier to see, involves a
backend calling SQL functions like pg_logical_slot_{get,peek}_changes()
which create a new decoding context with each execution. More
publications create more bloat.
To address this, this commit adds a new memory context within the
logical decoding context and resets it each time the publication names
cache is invalidated, based on a suggestion from Amit Kapila. This
ensures that the lifespan of the publication names aligns with that of
the logical decoding context.
Contrary to the HEAD-only commit f0c569d715 that has changed
PGOutputData to track this new child memory context, the context is
tracked with a static variable whose state is reset with a MemoryContext
reset callback attached to PGOutputData->context, so as ABI
compatibility is preserved in stable branches. This approach is based
on an suggestion from Amit Kapila.

Previously LogicalIncreaseRestartDecodingForSlot() accidentally
accepted any LSN as the candidate_lsn and candidate_valid after the
restart_lsn of the replication slot was updated, so it potentially
caused the restart_lsn to move backwards.
A scenario where this could happen in logical replication is: after a
logical replication restart, based on previous candidate_lsn and
candidate_valid values in memory, the restart_lsn advances upon
receiving a subscriber acknowledgment. Then, logical decoding restarts
from an older point, setting candidate_lsn and candidate_valid based
on an old RUNNING_XACTS record. Subsequent subscriber acknowledgments
then update the restart_lsn to an LSN older than the current value.
In the reported case, after WAL files were removed by a checkpoint,
the retreated restart_lsn prevented logical replication from
restarting due to missing WAL segments.
This change essentially modifies the 'if' condition to 'else if'
condition within the function. The previous code had an asymmetry in
this regard compared to LogicalIncreaseXminForSlot(), which does
almost the same thing for different fields.
The WAL removal issue was reported by Hubert Depesz Lubaczewski.

Now that lstat() reports junction points with S_IFLNK/S_ISLINK(), and
unlink() can unlink them, there is no need for conditional code for
Windows in a few places. That was expressed by testing for WIN32 or

The coding around pgwin32_is_junction() was a bit suspect anyway, as we
never checked for errors, and we also know that errors can be spuriously
reported because of transient sharing violations on this OS. The
lstat()-based code has handling for that.

Commit a4ccc1cef introduced the Generation Context and modified the
logical decoding process to use a Generation Context with a fixed
block size of 8MB for storing tuple data decoded during logical
decoding (i.e., rb->tup_context). Several reports have indicated that
the logical decoding process can be terminated due to
out-of-memory (OOM) situations caused by excessive memory usage in
rb->tup_context.
This issue can occur when decoding a workload involving several
concurrent transactions, including a long-running transaction that
modifies tuples. By design, the Generation Context does not free a
memory block until all chunks within that block are
released. Consequently, if tuples modified by the long-running
transaction are stored across multiple memory blocks, these blocks
remain allocated until the long-running transaction completes, leading
to substantial memory fragmentation. The memory usage during logical
decoding, tracked by rb->size, does not account for memory
fragmentation, resulting in potentially much higher memory consumption
than the value of the logical_decoding_work_mem parameter.
Various improvement strategies were discussed in the relevant
thread. This change reduces the block size of the Generation Context
used in rb->tup_context from 8MB to 8kB. This modification
significantly decreases the likelihood of substantial memory
fragmentation occurring and is relatively straightforward to
backport. Performance testing across multiple platforms has confirmed
that this change will not introduce any performance degradation that
would impact actual operation.

When creating and initializing a logical slot, the restart_lsn is set
to the latest WAL insertion point (or the latest replay point on
standbys). Subsequently, WAL records are decoded from that point to
find the start point for extracting changes in the
DecodingContextFindStartpoint() function. Since the initial
restart_lsn could be in the middle of a transaction, the start point
must be a consistent point where we won't see the data for partial
transactions.
Previously, when not building a full snapshot, serialized snapshots
were restored, and the SnapBuild jumps to the consistent state even
while finding the start point. Consequently, the slot's restart_lsn
and confirmed_flush could be set to the middle of a transaction. This
could lead to various unexpected consequences. Specifically, there
were reports of logical decoding decoding partial transactions, and
assertion failures occurred because only subtransactions were decoded
without decoding their top-level transaction until decoding the commit
record.
To resolve this issue, the changes prevent restoring the serialized
snapshot and jumping to the consistent state while finding the start
point.
On v17 and HEAD, a flag indicating whether snapshot restores should be
skipped has been added to the SnapBuild struct, and SNAPBUILD_VERSION
has been bumpded.
On backbranches, the flag is stored in the LogicalDecodingContext
instead, preserving on-disk compatibility.

In commit 272248a0c, we fixed the catalog lookup due to the wrong snapshot
for transactions and subtransactions during decoding. We failed to
consider the case where top-level xact is already marked as containing
catalog change but its subtransaction is not yet marked as containing
catalog change even though it contained such a change.
This can happen when during decoding, none of the WAL records from the
subtransaction was decoded and top-level xact contains a DDL.
We fix it by marking the transaction and all its subtransactions as
containing catalog changes if the top-level xact contains any catalog
change and it is present in the initial running xacts array.
This fix is required only for 14 and 15 because in prior branches we
already always mark the transaction and all its subtransactions as
containing catalog changes in the same case. In 16 and above, we preserve
the list of transaction IDs and sub-transaction IDs, that have modified
catalogs and are running during snapshot serialization, to the serialized

The apply worker needs to update the state of the subscription tables to
'READY' during the synchronization phase which requires locking the
corresponding subscription. The apply worker also waits for the
subscription tables to reach the 'SYNCDONE' state after holding the locks
on the subscription and the wait is done using WaitLatch. The 'SYNCDONE'
state is changed by tablesync workers again by locking the corresponding
subscription. Both the state updates use AccessShareLock mode to lock the
subscription, so they can't block each other. However, a backend can
simultaneously try to acquire a lock on the same subscription using
AccessExclusiveLock mode to alter the subscription. Now, the backend's
wait on a lock can sneak in between the apply worker and table sync worker
causing deadlock.
In other words, apply_worker waits for tablesync worker which waits for
backend, and backend waits for apply worker. This is not detected by the
deadlock detector because apply worker uses WaitLatch.
The fix is to release existing locks in apply worker before it starts to
wait for tablesync worker to change the state.

This problem doesn't exist in PG16 and HEAD as instead of using
InitialRunningXacts, we added the list of transaction IDs and
sub-transaction IDs, that have modified catalogs and are running during
snapshot serialization, to the serialized snapshot (see commit 7f13ac8123).

Multiple cycles of starting up and shutting down the plugin within a
single session would eventually lead to "out of relcache_callback_list
slots", because pgoutput_startup blindly re-registered its cache
callbacks each time. Fix it to register them only once, as all other
users of cache callbacks already take care to do.
This has been broken all along, so back-patch to all supported branches.

Whe decoding a transactional logical message, logicalmsg_decode called
SnapBuildGetOrBuildSnapshot. But we may not have a consistent snapshot
yet at that point. We don't actually need the snapshot in this case
(during replay we'll have the snapshot from the transaction), so in
practice this is harmless. But in assert-enabled build this crashes.
Fixed by requesting the snapshot only in non-transactional case, where
we are guaranteed to have SNAPBUILD_CONSISTENT.
Backpatch to 11. The issue exists since 9.6.

The drop database command waits for the logical replication sync worker to
accept ProcSignalBarrier and the worker's slot creation waits for the drop
database to finish which leads to a deadlock. This happens because the
tablesync worker holds interrupts while creating a slot.
We prevent cancel/die interrupts while creating a slot in the table sync
worker because it is possible that before the server finishes this
command, a concurrent drop subscription happens which would complete
without removing this slot and that leads to the slot existing until the
end of walsender. However, the slot will eventually get dropped at the
walsender exit time, so there is no danger of the dangling slot.
This patch reallows cancel/die interrupts while creating a slot and
modifies the test to wait for slots to become zero to prevent finding an
ephemeral slot.
The reported hang doesn't happen in PG14 as the drop database starts to
wait for ProcSignalBarrier with PG15 (commits 4eb2176318 and e2f65f4255)
but it is good to backpatch this till PG14 as it is not a good idea to
prevent interrupts during a network call that could block indefinitely.
