# Test deadlock resolution with parallel process groups. # It's fairly hard to get parallel worker processes to block on locks, # since generally they don't want any locks their leader didn't already # take. We cheat like mad here by making a function that takes a lock, # and is incorrectly marked parallel-safe so that it can execute in a worker. # Note that we explicitly override any global settings of isolation level # or force_parallel_mode, to ensure we're testing what we intend to. # Otherwise, this is morally equivalent to deadlock-soft.spec: # Four-process deadlock with two hard edges and two soft edges. # d2 waits for e1 (soft edge), e1 waits for d1 (hard edge), # d1 waits for e2 (soft edge), e2 waits for d2 (hard edge). # The deadlock detector resolves the deadlock by reversing the d1-e2 edge, # unblocking d1. # However ... it's not actually that well-defined whether the deadlock # detector will prefer to unblock d1 or d2. It depends on which backend # is first to run DeadLockCheck after the deadlock condition is created: # that backend will search outwards from its own wait condition, and will # first find a loop involving the *other* lock. We encourage that to be # one of the d2a1 parallel workers, which will therefore unblock d1a2 # workers, by setting a shorter deadlock_timeout in session d2. But on # slow machines, one or more d1a2 workers may not yet have reached their # lock waits, so that they're not unblocked by the first DeadLockCheck. # The next DeadLockCheck may choose to unblock the d2a1 workers instead, # which would allow d2a1 to complete before d1a2, causing the test to # freeze up because isolationtester isn't expecting that completion order. # (In effect, we have an undetectable deadlock because d2 is waiting for # d1's completion, but on the client side.) To fix this, introduce an # additional lock (advisory lock 3), which is initially taken by d1 and # then d2a1 will wait for it after completing the main part of the test. # In this way, the deadlock detector can see that d1 must be completed # first, regardless of timing. setup { create function lock_share(int,int) returns int language sql as 'select pg_advisory_xact_lock_shared($1); select 1;' parallel safe; create function lock_excl(int,int) returns int language sql as 'select pg_advisory_xact_lock($1); select 1;' parallel safe; create table bigt as select x from generate_series(1, 10000) x; analyze bigt; } teardown { drop function lock_share(int,int); drop function lock_excl(int,int); drop table bigt; } session d1 setup { BEGIN isolation level repeatable read; SET force_parallel_mode = off; SET deadlock_timeout = '10s'; } # these locks will be taken in the leader, so they will persist: step d1a1 { SELECT lock_share(1,x), lock_excl(3,x) FROM bigt LIMIT 1; } # this causes all the parallel workers to take locks: step d1a2 { SET force_parallel_mode = on; SET parallel_setup_cost = 0; SET parallel_tuple_cost = 0; SET min_parallel_table_scan_size = 0; SET parallel_leader_participation = off; SET max_parallel_workers_per_gather = 3; SELECT sum(lock_share(2,x)) FROM bigt; } step d1c { COMMIT; } session d2 setup { BEGIN isolation level repeatable read; SET force_parallel_mode = off; SET deadlock_timeout = '10ms'; } # this lock will be taken in the leader, so it will persist: step d2a2 { select lock_share(2,x) FROM bigt LIMIT 1; } # this causes all the parallel workers to take locks; # after which, make the leader take lock 3 to prevent client-driven deadlock step d2a1 { SET force_parallel_mode = on; SET parallel_setup_cost = 0; SET parallel_tuple_cost = 0; SET min_parallel_table_scan_size = 0; SET parallel_leader_participation = off; SET max_parallel_workers_per_gather = 3; SELECT sum(lock_share(1,x)) FROM bigt; SET force_parallel_mode = off; RESET parallel_setup_cost; RESET parallel_tuple_cost; SELECT lock_share(3,x) FROM bigt LIMIT 1; } step d2c { COMMIT; } session e1 setup { BEGIN isolation level repeatable read; SET force_parallel_mode = on; SET deadlock_timeout = '10s'; } # this lock will be taken in a parallel worker, but we don't need it to persist step e1l { SELECT lock_excl(1,x) FROM bigt LIMIT 1; } step e1c { COMMIT; } session e2 setup { BEGIN isolation level repeatable read; SET force_parallel_mode = on; SET deadlock_timeout = '10s'; } # this lock will be taken in a parallel worker, but we don't need it to persist step e2l { SELECT lock_excl(2,x) FROM bigt LIMIT 1; } step e2c { COMMIT; } permutation d1a1 d2a2 e1l e2l d1a2 d2a1 d1c e1c d2c e2c
