Reading the code, I think
- the issue might occur not only in refiltering, but also the first filtering
with --split and --work-dir option (forced non-cyclic mode).
- pefer to gather things for --split option into writeout_multiple_dumpfiles()
if we can, for readability.
So does the following patch work for you and your test?
I could not have reproduced the issue yet.
diff --git a/makedumpfile.c b/makedumpfile.c
index b9e9dfbd45ba..674c6a00e2dd 100644
--- a/makedumpfile.c
+++ b/makedumpfile.c
@@ -10091,6 +10091,10 @@ writeout_multiple_dumpfiles(void)
info->split_start_pfn = SPLITTING_START_PFN(i);
info->split_end_pfn = SPLITTING_END_PFN(i);
+ if (!info->flag_cyclic) {
+ info->bitmap1->fd = info->fd_bitmap;
+ info->bitmap2->fd = info->fd_bitmap;
+ }
if (!reopen_dump_memory())
exit(1);
if ((status = writeout_dumpfile()) == FALSE)
BTW, what do you see when the issue occurs? an error or broken dump?
