From 6077acc68ac944d0fee83fe20b6abd85ebaab686 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mats Kindahl Date: Sat, 23 May 2026 16:09:44 +0200 Subject: pg_rewind: use UUIDs to detect independent same-TLI promotions Two PostgreSQL standbys can independently promote to the same timeline ID if their primary stopped before either had a chance to promote. In that situation both clusters share a timeline history prefix that looks identical to pg_rewind: same TLI numbers and same begin/end LSNs. The existing same-TLI shortcut therefore treated the source as a valid rewind target and skipped the rewind entirely, leaving the target's diverged WAL intact. Fix this by embedding a UUIDv7 value in every timeline history file entry at promotion time. Each promotion generates a fresh UUID, so two independent promotions to the same TLI will carry different UUIDs even though the TLI number and begin LSN are identical. When loading the timeline history, pg_rewind uses these UUIDs in two places: 1. findCommonAncestorTimeline checks that the TLI and UUID in each entry match. A mismatch signals independent promotions and the search continues to earlier entries to find the true common ancestor. 2. The same-TLI shortcut (source and target on the same current TLI) compares the UUID stored in the last completed history entry and a mismatch forces a full rewind instead of a no-op. UUIDs are zero for clusters that predate this change, and the comparison function treats a zero UUID on either side as different from a UUID since that promotion has to be from a different server (it had a pre-change version server that was promoted, so it cannot be the same as a post-change version server that was promoted). Two new tests in t/005_same_timeline.pl cover both detection paths. The first covers the same-TLI shortcut: two standbys independently promote to TLI2 and TLI2', each with a distinct UUID. The second covers the ancestor search: the target goes through TLI1 -> TLI2 -> TLI3 while the source independently promoted so that it has a timeline with TLI1 -> TLI2' -> TLI3'. The test ensures that findCommonAncestorTimeline backs up to TLI1 as the true common ancestor rather than accepting the numerically matching TLI2 entry. --- src/backend/access/transam/timeline.c | 79 ++++- src/backend/access/transam/xlog.c | 15 + src/backend/utils/adt/uuid.c | 15 +- src/bin/pg_rewind/pg_rewind.c | 112 +++++++- src/bin/pg_rewind/t/005_same_timeline.pl | 352 +++++++++++++++++++++++ src/bin/pg_rewind/timeline.c | 47 ++- src/include/access/timeline.h | 5 +- src/include/access/xlog_internal.h | 1 + src/include/utils/uuid.h | 10 +- 9 files changed, 613 insertions(+), 23 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/backend/access/transam/timeline.c b/src/backend/access/transam/timeline.c index 68e5f692d26..df161dcc0d5 100644 --- a/src/backend/access/transam/timeline.c +++ b/src/backend/access/transam/timeline.c @@ -42,6 +42,8 @@ #include "pgstat.h" #include "storage/fd.h" #include "utils/wait_event.h" +#include "utils/fmgrprotos.h" +#include "utils/uuid.h" /* * Copies all timeline history files with id's between 'begin' and 'end' @@ -110,8 +112,12 @@ readTimeLineHistory(TimeLineID targetTLI) ereport(FATAL, (errcode_for_file_access(), errmsg("could not open file \"%s\": %m", path))); - /* Not there, so assume no parents */ - entry = palloc_object(TimeLineHistoryEntry); + + /* + * Not there, so assume no parents.
