Fix the pg_shdepend rows, guard the drop, and rewrite the large object migration. - #62

Conversation
Creating a large object recorded a pg_shdepend row whose classId was the OID of lolor.pg_largeobject, an ordinary table rather than a catalog the dependency machinery can describe. DROP ROLE on any role that had created one failed with "unrecognized object class", and the rows were never removed. Stop recording the entry and delete those left behind. Objects in lolor storage cannot take part in pg_shdepend at all, so add lolor.check_orphans() to list objects whose owner, grantee or grantor is gone and lolor.fix_orphans() to repair them the way REASSIGN OWNED would. Dropping the extension used to migrate every object back to native storage inside the drop. Replace that with an object access hook that refuses DROP EXTENSION, DROP SCHEMA lolor CASCADE and DROP OWNED BY while lolor is enabled or any object remains, so the user runs lolor.migrate_to_native() first; lolor.allow_unsafe_drop lets a superuser discard what is stored. The hook has to be present in every backend, so lolor now refuses to load on demand and must be listed in shared_preload_libraries. The regression suite therefore runs in a temporary instance configured that way (make installcheck). lolor.enable(), lolor.disable() and lolor.is_enabled() probe exact function signatures in pg_catalog; matching on proname across every schema let any user with CREATE on a schema wedge lolor into an inconsistent state that also blocked the drop. Both refuse while other sessions are connected, since a renamed function keeps its OID and other sessions cannot be made to see the switch, and refuse to run from anything but a client session, so replicated DDL cannot execute them in an apply worker.

The event trigger that fires for DROP EXTENSION, DROP SCHEMA lolor CASCADE and DROP OWNED BY calls lolor.disable() to rename the native functions back. disable() refuses while other sessions are connected, because a renamed function keeps its OID and other sessions keep calling the previous implementation, and refuses to run outside a client session. The drop therefore inherited both requirements but reported a refusal as a failure to disable. Check them in the trigger first, under the drop's own name, only while lolor is enabled since a disabled drop renames nothing, and document that dropping the extension has the same requirements as disable(). The documentation said every lo_* call refuses when lolor is loaded on demand. Only loading the library does: CREATE EXTENSION lolor, LOAD 'lolor' and the first call that reaches one of lolor's functions. The native pg_catalog.lo_* functions are unaffected while lolor is not installed or is disabled. t/008 now asserts the drop refusal, and waits for the background session's backend to exit before calling disable(); a backend that was still shutting down could be counted as a connected session.

@ibrarahmad Can you change the upgrade from 1.2.3? |
The 1.2.3 release on the v1_STABLE branch ships lolor--1.2.2--1.2.3.sql, a script with no statements, since that release changed no SQL. main's only script into 1.3.0 starts at 1.2.2, so an installation at 1.2.3 has nowhere to go: ALTER EXTENSION lolor UPDATE fails with 'extension "lolor" has no update path from version "1.2.3" to version "1.3.0"'. Add the 1.2.2--1.2.3 script to main as released and rename the 1.3.0 script to start from 1.2.3. Installations at 1.2.2 reach 1.3.0 through 1.2.3, and a fresh install follows the same chain. The upgrade test steps through 1.2.3 and checks the version, and the release notes gain the 1.2.3 entry from the stable branch.

Reading PR:
DROP EXTENSION lolor, DROP SCHEMA lolor CASCADE and DROP OWNED BY are refused while lolor is enabled
It seems like the PR description promises more than provides:
CREATE ROLE lolor_creator SUPERUSER NOLOGIN;
SET ROLE lolor_creator;
SELECT lo_from_bytea(0, 'Native object');
RESET ROLE;
create extension lolor;
SELECT lolor.enable();
SELECT coalesce(string_agg(a.rolname || ':' || d.deptype::text, ', '
ORDER BY d.deptype DESC, a.rolname), '<none>')
FROM pg_shdepend d
JOIN pg_authid a ON a.oid = d.refobjid
WHERE d.dbid = (SELECT oid FROM pg_database WHERE datname = current_database())
AND d.classid = 'pg_largeobject'::regclass;
CREATE ROLE lolor_migrator SUPERUSER NOLOGIN;
SET ROLE lolor_migrator;
SELECT lolor.migrate_from_native();
SELECT lolor.migrate_to_native();
RESET ROLE;
SELECT coalesce(string_agg(a.rolname || ':' || d.deptype::text, ', '
ORDER BY d.deptype DESC, a.rolname), '<none>')
FROM pg_shdepend d
JOIN pg_authid a ON a.oid = d.refobjid
WHERE d.dbid = (SELECT oid FROM pg_database WHERE datname = current_database())
AND d.classid = 'pg_largeobject'::regclass;
SELECT count(*) FROM pg_catalog.pg_largeobject;
DROP OWNED BY lolor_migrator;
SELECT count(*) FROM pg_catalog.pg_largeobject;I see the LO has been dropped, although another user initially created and owned it.

Confirmed, and the cause is the migration, not the drop guard. The plpgsql migrate_to_native() created each object with lo_create_orig(), which records the caller in pg_shdepend, then patched lomowner with a raw catalog UPDATE. So after your script lomowner said lolor_creator while pg_shdepend said lolor_migrator:o, and DROP OWNED BY lolor_migrator took the object with it: Fixed in 72482e8. migrate_to_native() is now a relation copy: the metadata tuple keeps its lomowner and lomacl, and recordDependencyOnOwner() and recordDependencyOnNewAcl() are called for the original owner and the grantees. Same script now: It is in the regression suite. The sentence you quoted is about dropping the extension; your DROP OWNED BY does not reach it, so nothing was refused there. |

The stale "(and therefore DROP EXTENSION lolor)" in README.md and docs/index.md is removed in ee4e4db. |
lo_create_orig() records the migrating user as the owner in pg_shdepend, and the raw update of lomowner that followed did not correct it, so DROP OWNED BY the migrating user took every migrated object with it. ALTER LARGE OBJECT OWNER TO goes through changeDependencyOnOwner(), so pg_shdepend follows the real owner. A dead owner is reported with a hint instead of failing inside the ALTER.

changed the title
Reverse migration rewrote every object through the large object API, on the premise that inserting into pg_catalog.pg_largeobject was not allowed. It is, for the superuser both migration functions already require. Both directions become a tuple copy between the two relations, in C: pages are copied verbatim so sparse objects stay sparse, ownership and ACLs are recorded in pg_shdepend rather than set by a raw catalog UPDATE that DROP ROLE could not see, comments survive the round trip in a parking table, native objects are removed through the same deletion path DROP uses, and the layouts are verified against the running server rather than assumed. Migration no longer goes through the renamed _orig functions, so migrate_to_native() works while lolor is disabled. The copy holds ShareRowExclusiveLock on both stores until commit. Ordinary large object access takes RowExclusiveLock, which does not conflict with itself, so a concurrent lo_write() could otherwise commit between the copy of a page and the emptying of the source store and be lost with no error. Each row gets its own memory context, so millions of pages do not exhaust the backend. Migration refuses up front while any object refers to a dropped role, instead of dying part-way with "role N was concurrently dropped"; it refuses while other sessions are connected or when run from anything but a client session; and migrate_from_native(peer_oids) turns the documented cross-node OID collision into a pre-flight refusal, with lolor.digest() and lolor.native_lo_oids() for checking convergence.

performMultipleDeletions() takes an AccessExclusiveLock on every large object and holds it to commit, so a database with more objects than the lock table has room for failed with "out of shared memory" after the copy; 38000 objects did on default settings. Do the same bookkeeping by hand instead: the catalog rows, pg_shdepend, pg_description, pg_seclabel and the drop hook. The caller holds ShareRowExclusiveLock on both native catalogs, so no writer can get in. The event trigger now checks lolor storage before it renames anything, with the hook's own message, so a refused drop names the real blocker and leaves the function names alone. lolor.allow_unsafe_drop skips the trigger as well and warns when the native names stay parked. DROP OWNED BY ... CASCADE for the schema's owner is recognised as a drop of the extension. Share the OID reporting between the two pre-flight checks, use truncate_lolor_table() for the parked comments, and cast the count passed to errmsg_plural().

lolor keeps large objects in two ordinary tables of its own instead of the
pg_catalogtables PostgreSQL normally uses. That is what makes them replicable, but PostgreSQL's own bookkeeping knows nothing about those rows, and several things break because of it.Problem
A user
alicecreates a large object while lolor is enabled. LaterDROP ROLE alicefails withERROR: unrecognized object class: 16519, and alice cannot be dropped until somebody deletes a row frompg_shdependby hand. lolor wrote a dependency row that points at its own table rather than at a catalog, so PostgreSQL cannot read it, and lolor never deletes it. The opposite case goes wrong too: once alice's object is in lolor storage,DROP ROLE alicesucceeds without a warning, the object is left owned by a role that no longer exists, and there is no way to list or repair such objects.A DBA runs
DROP SCHEMA lolor CASCADE. Every large object in lolor storage is destroyed, andlo_open(),loread()and the rest stay renamed tolo_open_orig()and so on, so large objects stop working in that database. OnlyDROP EXTENSION lolorruns the cleanup; the other ways of removing the extension do not.Any user who may create a function in some schema runs
CREATE FUNCTION public.lolor_lo_open(oid, int4) RETURNS int4 AS 'SELECT 1' LANGUAGE sql. From then onlolor.is_enabled()reportslolor is in inconsistent stateandDROP EXTENSION lolorfails for everyone, because the state checks look the functions up by name across all schemas.lolor.disable()also renames thepg_catalogfunctions while other sessions are connected; those sessions keep calling the old implementation, because they cached the function OIDs when they first used them.The migration between the two storages went through the large object API one object at a time.
migrate_to_native()created each native object withlo_create_orig(), which records the user running the migration as the owner inpg_shdepend, then patchedlomownerandlomaclwith raw catalog updates that leftpg_shdependas it was.DROP OWNED BYthe user who ran a migration therefore dropped every migrated object, whoever owned it, andDROP ROLEcould not see a grantee. Sparse objects were rewritten page by page and lost their holes, and comments were lost on the first migration. It also ran automatically insideDROP EXTENSION.An installation running the released 1.2.3 cannot move to 1.3.0 at all:
ALTER EXTENSION lolor UPDATEfails withno update path from version "1.2.3" to version "1.3.0", because the only script into 1.3.0 started at 1.2.2 and main has no 1.2.3 script.Fix
lolor no longer writes the
pg_shdependrow, and the upgrade script deletes the ones already present in the database.lolor.check_orphans()lists every object in lolor storage whose owner, grantee or grantor has been dropped, andlolor.fix_orphans(new_owner)reassigns them the wayREASSIGN OWNEDwould, keeping grants the dead role made, dropping ACL entries that still name it, and building one ACL entry per (grantee, grantor) with the grant option kept per privilege.Removing the extension is guarded by an object access hook.
DROP EXTENSION lolor,DROP SCHEMA lolor CASCADEandDROP OWNED BYthe extension owner are refused while lolor is enabled (Run lolor.disable() first) or while any object is still in lolor storage (Run lolor.migrate_to_native() first). A superuser can setlolor.allow_unsafe_drop = onto drop regardless: it skips every check, discards what is stored and leaves the function names as they are. The event trigger fires for all three commands and forDROP OWNED BY ... CASCADEof the schema owner, no longer migrates anything, and only restores the native function names. It refuses for remaining objects before renaming anything, and while lolor is enabled it applies the same checks aslolor.disable()first, under its own name. The hook has to exist in every backend, so lolor must be listed inshared_preload_libraries:CREATE EXTENSION lolor,LOAD 'lolor'and any call that reaches one of lolor's functions fail withlolor must be loaded via "shared_preload_libraries"when it is loaded on demand. The nativepg_catalog.lo_*functions are not affected while lolor is not installed or is disabled.lolor.enable(),lolor.disable()andlolor.is_enabled()check exact function signatures inpg_catalogwithto_regprocedure().enable(),disable()and both migration functions refuse while another session is connected to the database and refuse to run from anything other than a client session, so replicated DDL cannot execute them inside an apply worker.Migration is a direct relation-to-relation copy in C (
lolor.migrate_storage()), called fromlolor.migrate_from_native(peer_oids oid[] DEFAULT NULL)andlolor.migrate_to_native(). Tuples are copied with their owner and ACL,recordDependencyOnOwner()andrecordDependencyOnNewAcl()are called for the original owner and grantees on the way to native storage, data pages are copied verbatim so sparse objects stay sparse, and comments are parked inlolor.pg_largeobject_descriptionwhile an object is in lolor storage. Native objects are removed with the same bookkeeping asDROPbut without its per-object locks, so a database with more large objects than the lock table can hold migrates without raisingmax_locks_per_transaction. Both directions holdShareRowExclusiveLockon both stores until commit, verify the storage layouts against the running server, and refuse up front on an OID conflict;migrate_from_native()also refuses while a large object carries a security label, andmigrate_to_native()while an object refers to a dropped role.migrate_to_native()works whether or not lolor is enabled and is the step to run before dropping the extension.lolor.native_lo_oids()andlolor.digest()support the cross-node checks a node-local migration needs;peer_oidsturns a cross-node OID collision into a refusal.The released
lolor--1.2.2--1.2.3.sqlis added as it is onv1_STABLE, and the 1.3.0 script islolor--1.2.3--1.3.0.sql. An installation at 1.2.2 reaches 1.3.0 through 1.2.3, one at 1.2.3 upgrades directly, and a fresh install follows the same chain.Because the regression suite needs a server that preloads lolor,
make installcheckstarts its own instance:REGRESS_OPTS = --temp-instance=./tmp_check --temp-config=regress.conf. Every TAP cluster and the docker CI nodes preload lolor.
