Well, actually it needs to be a bit earlier than that or it won't stop
non-pageatatime scans (cf the return at line 230 in HEAD). I was
thinking to place it at the point where we hold no buffer pin, just to
save a couple cycles in error cleanup:
diff --git a/src/backend/access/heap/heapam.c b/src/backend/access/heap/heapam.c
index 0d6fe3f0acd38a87af759bd3d5196da504202486..0c67156390a6a1bf1fee0bb39b96e0da8cd55dbb 100644
*** a/src/backend/access/heap/heapam.c
--- b/src/backend/access/heap/heapam.c
*************** heapgetpage(HeapScanDesc scan, BlockNumb
*** 222,227 ****
--- 222,234 ----
scan->rs_cbuf = InvalidBuffer;
}
+ /*
+ * Be sure to check for interrupts at least once per page. Checks at
+ * higher code levels won't be able to stop a seqscan that encounters
+ * many pages' worth of consecutive dead tuples.
+ */
+ CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS();
+
/* read page using selected strategy */
scan->rs_cbuf = ReadBufferExtended(scan->rs_rd, MAIN_FORKNUM, page,
RBM_NORMAL, scan->rs_strategy);
But thanks for verifying that a check in this function does fix the
issue for you.
regards, tom lane
