The function posix_fallocate is protected against EINTR.

| do
| {
|     rc = posix_fallocate(fd, 0, size);
| } while (rc == EINTR && !(ProcDiePending || QueryCancelPending));

But not for ftruncate and write. Don't we need to protect them from
ENTRI as the attached?

We don't handle EINTR for write() generally because that's not
supposed to be necessary on local files (local disks are not "slow
devices", and we document that if you're using something like NFS you
should use its "hard" mount option so that it behaves that way too).
As for ftruncate(), you'd think it'd be similar, and I can't think of
a more local filesystem than tmpfs (where POSIX shmem lives on Linux),
but I can't seem to figure that out from reading man pages; maybe I'm
reading the wrong ones.  Perhaps in low memory situations, an I/O wait
path reached by ftruncate() can return EINTR here rather than entering
D state (non-interruptable sleep) or restarting due to our SA_RESTART
flag... anyone know?

Another thought: is there some way for the posix_fallocate() retry
loop to exit because (ProcDiePending || QueryCancelPending), but then
for CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() to do nothing, so that we fall through to
reporting the EINTR?

So that seems to be a bug, correct?
Just to confirm, I am not using NFS, it is directly on disk.

Other than that, is there a particular option we can set in the postgres.conf to mitigate the issue?

Thanks a lot for your help.

The only change we made on the disk, is the encryption at OS level.

Hi Nicola,

Yeah, I think it's a bug.  We're not sure exactly where yet.
