Thanks. Here are some comments on v55 patch:
1. A nit:
+
+ /*
+ * We also skip decoding in 'fast_forward' mode. In passing set the
+ * 'processing_required' flag to indicate, were it not for this mode,
+ * processing *would* have been required.
+ */
How about "We also skip decoding in fast_forward mode. In passing set
the processing_required flag to indicate that if it were not for
fast_forward mode, processing would have been required."?
2. Don't we need InvalidateSystemCaches() after FreeDecodingContext()?
+ /* Clean up */
+ FreeDecodingContext(ctx);
3. Don't we need to put CreateDecodingContext in PG_TRY-PG_CATCH with
InvalidateSystemCaches() in PG_CATCH block? I think we need to clear
all timetravel entries with InvalidateSystemCaches(), no?
4. The following assertion better be an error? Or we ensure that
binary_upgrade_slot_has_caught_up isn't called for an invalidated slot
at all?
+
+ /* Slots must be valid as otherwise we won't be able to scan the WAL */
+ Assert(MyReplicationSlot->data.invalidated == RS_INVAL_NONE);
5. This better be an error instead of returning false? IMO, null value
for slot name is an error.
+ /* Quick exit if the input is NULL */
+ if (PG_ARGISNULL(0))
+ PG_RETURN_BOOL(false);
6. A nit: how about is_decodable_txn or is_decodable_change or some
other instead of just a plain name processing_required?
+ /* Do we need to process any change in 'fast_forward' mode? */
+ bool processing_required;
7. Can the following pg_fatal message be consistent and start with
lowercase letter something like "expected 0 logical replication slots
...."?
+ pg_fatal("Expected 0 logical replication slots but found %d.",
+ nslots_on_new);
8. s/problem/problematic - "A list of problematic slots is in the file:\n"
+ "A list of the problem slots is in the file:\n"
9. IMO, binary_upgrade_logical_replication_slot_has_caught_up seems
better, meaningful and consistent despite a bit long than just
binary_upgrade_slot_has_caught_up.
10. How about an assert that the passed-in replication slot is logical
in binary_upgrade_slot_has_caught_up?
11. How about adding CheckLogicalDecodingRequirements too in
binary_upgrade_slot_has_caught_up after CheckSlotPermissions just in
case?
12. Not necessary but adding ReplicationSlotValidateName(slot_name,
ERROR); for the passed-in slotname in
binary_upgrade_slot_has_caught_up may be a good idea, at least in
assert builds to help with input validations.
13. Can the functionality of LogicalReplicationSlotHasPendingWal be
moved to binary_upgrade_slot_has_caught_up and get rid of a separate
function LogicalReplicationSlotHasPendingWal? Or is it that the
function exists in logical.c to avoid extra dependencies between
logical.c and pg_upgrade_support.c?
14. I think it's better to check if the old cluster contains the
necessary function binary_upgrade_slot_has_caught_up instead of just
relying on major version.
+ /* Logical slots can be migrated since PG17. */
+ if (GET_MAJOR_VERSION(old_cluster.major_version) <= 1600)
+ return;
