Hello, A bug had been introduced in the latest versions of the patch. The order of parameters passed to pglz_decompress was wrong. Please find attached patch with following correction,
Original code, + if (pglz_decompress(block_image, record->uncompressBuf, + bkpb->bkp_len, bkpb->bkp_uncompress_len) == 0) Correction + if (pglz_decompress(block_image, bkpb->bkp_len, + record->uncompressBuf, bkpb->bkp_uncompress_len) == 0) >For example here you should not have a space between the function definition >and the variable declarations: >+{ >+ >+ int orig_len = BLCKSZ - hole_length; >This is as well incorrect in two places: >if(hole_length != 0) >There should be a space between the if and its condition in parenthesis. Also corrected above code format mistakes.

Yes, we would need a additional bit to identify that. We could steal it from length in XLogRecordBlockImageHeader. > Furthermore, when fpw compression is disabled and the hole length is > zero, we seem to be able to save one byte from the header of backup > block. Currently we use 4 bytes for the header, 2 bytes for the length > of backup block, 15 bits for the hole offset and 1 bit for the flag > indicating whether block is compressed or not. But in that case, the > length of backup block doesn't need to be stored because it must be > BLCKSZ. Shouldn't we optimize the header in this way? Thought? If we do it, that's something to tackle even before this patch on HEAD, because you could use the 16th bit of the first 2 bytes of XLogRecordBlockImageHeader to do necessary sanity checks, to actually not reduce record by 1 byte, but 2 bytes as hole-related data is not necessary. I imagine that a patch optimizing that wouldn't be that hard to write as well. > + int page_len = BLCKSZ - hole_length; > + char *scratch_buf; > + if (hole_length != 0) > + { > + scratch_buf = compression_scratch; > + memcpy(scratch_buf, page, hole_offset); > + memcpy(scratch_buf + hole_offset, > + page + (hole_offset + hole_length), > + BLCKSZ - (hole_length + hole_offset)); > + } > + else > + scratch_buf = page; > + > + /* Perform compression of block */ > + if (XLogCompressBackupBlock(scratch_buf, > + page_len, > + regbuf->compressed_page, > + &compress_len)) > + { > + /* compression is done, add record */ > + is_compressed = true; > + } > > You can refactor XLogCompressBackupBlock() and move all the above code > to it for more simplicity.
