Bug reference: 14615
Logged by: bret shao
Email address: bret.shao@outlook.com
PostgreSQL version: 9.6.2
Operating system: linux
Description:
MemSet(replication_states, 0, ReplicationOriginShmemSize()); in function
ReplicationOriginShmemInit cause cross-border,because that start address of
the share memory allocated is replication_states_ctl, but call MemSet to
initialize this memory start from replication_states which is variable
states's address in struct ReplicationStateCtl.so call MemSet to set 0 with
the total size of this share memory will cross border of this share memory.
Although, this cross-border will not caused the system failure due to share
memory allocation strategy after my analysis. but i still believe we
shouldn't do like this.
Fix suggestion:
change to MemSet(replication_states_ctl, 0, ReplicationOriginShmemSize()); then move
to the beginning of if statement.
