Those line numbers don't match my code.
Which commit are you based on?
My tree is (currently) based on 71f996d22125eb6cfdbee6094f44370aa8dec610
Hm, my branch is based on 71f996d22125eb6cfdbee6094f44370aa8dec610 as well.
I merely applied patches
0001-Vacuum-prefetch-buffers-on-backward-scan-v3.patch
and 0002-Vacuum-allow-using-more-than-1GB-work-mem-v3.patch
then ran configure and make as usual.
Am I doing something wrong?
Anyway, I found the problem that had caused segfault.
for (segindex = 0; segindex <= vacrelstats->dead_tuples.last_seg;
tupindex = 0, segindex++)
{
DeadTuplesSegment *seg =
&(vacrelstats->dead_tuples.dead_tuples[segindex]);
int num_dead_tuples = seg->num_dead_tuples;
while (tupindex < num_dead_tuples)
...
You rely on the value of tupindex here, while during the very first pass
the 'tupindex' variable
may contain any garbage. And it happend that on my system there was
negative value
as I found inspecting core dump:
(gdb) info locals
num_dead_tuples = 5
tottuples = 0
tupindex = -1819017215
Which leads to failure in the next line
tblk = ItemPointerGetBlockNumber(&seg->dead_tuples[tupindex]);
The solution is to move this assignment inside the cycle.
I've read the second patch.
1. What is the reason to inline vac_cmp_itemptr() ?
2. +#define LAZY_MIN_TUPLES Max(MaxHeapTuplesPerPage, (128<<20) /
sizeof(ItemPointerData))
What does 128<<20 mean? Why not 1<<27? I'd ask you to replace it with
named constant,
or at least add a comment.
I'll share my results of performance testing it in a few days.
