Обсуждение: pg_read_file() with virtual files returns empty string
Since pg11 pg_read_file() and friends can be used with absolute paths as long as
the user is superuser or explicitly granted the role pg_read_server_files.
I noticed that when trying to read a virtual file, e.g.:
SELECT pg_read_file('/proc/self/status');
the returned result is a zero length string.
However this works fine:
SELECT pg_read_file('/proc/self/status', 127, 128);
The reason for that is pg_read_file_v2() sets bytes_to_read=-1 if no offset and
length are supplied as arguments when it is called. It passes bytes_to_read down
to read_binary_file().
When the latter function sees bytes_to_read < 0 it tries to read the entire file
by getting the file size via stat, which returns 0 for a virtual file size.
The attached patch fixes this for me. I think it ought to be backpatched through
pg11.

1. Doesn't seem to be accounting for the possibility of an error in fread().
2. Don't we want to remove the stat() call altogether, if we're not
going to believe its length?
3. This bit might need to cast the RHS to int64:
if (bytes_to_read > (MaxAllocSize - VARHDRSZ))
otherwise it might be treated as an unsigned comparison.
Or you could check for bytes_to_read < 0 separately.
4. appendStringInfoString seems like quite the wrong thing to use
when the input is binary data.
5. Don't like the comment. Whether the file is virtual or not isn't
very relevant here.
6. If the file size exceeds 1GB, I fear we'll get some rather opaque
failure from the stringinfo infrastructure. It'd be better to
check for that here and give a file-too-large error.

All good stuff -- I believe the attached checks all the boxes.
I noted while at this, that the current code can never hit this case:
! if (bytes_to_read < 0)
! {
! if (seek_offset < 0)
! bytes_to_read = -seek_offset;
The intention here seems to be that if you pass bytes_to_read = -1 with a
negative offset, it will give you the last offset bytes of the file.
But all of the SQL exposed paths disallow an explicit negative value for
bytes_to_read. This was also not documented as far as I can tell so I eliminated
that case in the attached. Is that actually a case I should fix/support instead?
Separately, it seems to me that a two argument version of pg_read_file() would
be useful:
pg_read_file('filename', offset)
In that case bytes_to_read = -1 could be passed down in order to read the entire
file after the offset. In fact I think that would nicely handle the negative
offset case as well.

Looks okay to me, except I think you want
! if (bytes_to_read > 0)
to be
! if (bytes_to_read >= 0)
As it stands, a zero request will be treated like -1 (read all the
rest of the file) while ISTM it ought to be an expensive way to
read zero bytes --- perhaps useful to check the filename and seek
offset validity?

I think it's just trying to convert bytes_to_read = -1 into an explicit
positive length-to-read in all cases. We don't need that anymore with
this code, so dropping it is fine.

I did some performance testing of the worst case/largest possible file and found that skipping the stat and bulk read does cause a significant regression. Current HEAD takes about 400ms on my desktop, and with that version of the patch more like 1100ms. In the attached patch I was able to get most of the performance degradation back -- ~600ms. Hopefully you don't think what I did was "too cute by half" :-). Do you think this is good enough or should we go back to using the stat file size when it is > 0? As noted in the comment, the downside of that method is that the largest supported file size is 1 byte smaller when "reading the entire file" versus "reading a specified size" due to StringInfo reserving the last byte for a trailing null.

Yeah, I was wondering a little bit if that'd be an issue.

I don't think it's unreasonable to "get in bed" with the innards of the
StringInfo; plenty of other places do already, such as pqformat.h or
pgp_armor_decode, just to name the first couple that I came across in a
quick grep.
However, if we're going to get in bed with it, let's get all the way in
and just read directly into the StringInfo's buffer, as per attached.
This saves all the extra memcpy'ing and reduces the number of fread calls
to at most log(N).
(This also fixes a bug in your version, which is that it captured
the buf.data pointer before any repalloc that might happen.)

A quick test shows that this gets performance back on par with HEAD.
The only downside is that the max filesize is reduced to (MaxAllocSize -
MIN_READ_SIZE - 1) compared to MaxAllocSize with the old method.
But anyone pushing that size limit is going to run into other issues anyway. I.e
(on pg11):
8<---------------
select length(pg_read_binary_file('/tmp/rbftest4.bin'));
length
------------
1073737726
(1 row)
select pg_read_binary_file('/tmp/rbftest4.bin');
ERROR: invalid memory alloc request size 2147475455
8<---------------
So probably not worth worrying about.

Hm, I was expecting that the last successful iteration of
enlargeStringInfo would increase the buffer size to MaxAllocSize,
so that we'd really only be losing one byte (which we can't avoid
if we use stringinfo). But you're right that it's most likely moot
since later manipulations of such a result would risk hitting overflows.
I marked the CF entry as RFC.

Sorry to open this can of worms again, but I couldn't get my head past the fact that reading the entire file would have a different size limit than reading the exact number of bytes in the file. So, inspired by what you did (and StringInfo itself) I came up with the attached. This version performs equivalently to your patch (and HEAD), and allows files up to and including (MaxAllocSize - VARHDRSZ) -- i.e. exactly the same as the specified-length case and legacy behavior for the full file read.

Are you sure there actually is any such limit in the other code,
after accounting for the way that stringinfo.c will enlarge its
buffer? That is, I believe that the limit is MaxAllocSize minus
five bytes, not something less.

I find this way overcomplicated for what it accomplishes. In the
real world there's not much difference between MaxAllocSize minus
five and MaxAllocSize minus four.

Huh, I wonder why it's not max - 5. Probably not worth worrying about,

Well this part:
+ rbytes = fread(sbuf.data + sbuf.len, 1,
+ (size_t) (sbuf.maxlen - sbuf.len - 1), file);
could actually be:
+ rbytes = fread(sbuf.data + sbuf.len, 1,
+ (size_t) (sbuf.maxlen - sbuf.len), file);
because there is no actual need to reserve a byte for the trailing null, since
we are not using appendBinaryStringInfo() anymore, and that is where the
trailing NULL gets written.
With that change (and some elog(NOTICE,...) calls) we have:
select length(pg_read_binary_file('/tmp/rbftest2.bin'));

Or max - 5, so we got our byte back :-)
In fact, in principle there is no reason we can't get to max - 4 with this code
except that when the filesize is exactly 1073741819, we need to try to read one
more byte to find the EOF that way I did in my patch. I.e.:
-- use 1073741819 byte file

Because we read the last byte, but not beyond, EOF is not reached, so on the
next loop iteration we continue and fail on max size rather than exit the loop.
But I am guessing that test in particular was what you thought too complicated
for what it accomplishes?

No, I'd put a big -1 on that, because so far as stringinfo.c is concerned
you're violating the invariant that len must be less than maxlen. The fact
that you happen to not hit any assertions right at the moment does not
make this code okay.

Ah, right, *that* is where the extra byte is lost: we need a buffer
workspace one byte more than the file size, or we won't ever actually
see the EOF indication.
I still can't get excited about contorting the code to remove that
issue.

It doesn't seem much worse than the oom test that was there before -- see attached. In any case I will give you the last word and then quit bugging you about it ;-) Are we in agreement that whatever gets pushed should be backpatched through pg11 (see start of thread)?

I changed the new error message to "file length too large" instead of "requested length too large" since that seems more descriptive of what is actually happening there. I also changed the corresponding error code to match the one enlargeStringInfo() would have used because I thought it was more apropos. Thanks for all the help with this!

Hi Joe Thanks for addressing this. But I noticed that cfbot is now populating with failures like: https://travis-ci.org/github/postgresql-cfbot/postgresql/builds/704898559 genfile.c: In function ‘read_binary_file’: genfile.c:192:5: error: ignoring return value of ‘fread’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Werror=unused-result] fread(rbuf, 1, 1, file); ^ cc1: all warnings being treated as errors <builtin>: recipe for target 'genfile.o' failed -- Justin

Yeah, some of the pickier buildfarm members (eg spurfowl) are showing
that as a warning, too. Maybe make it like
if (fread(rbuf, 1, 1, file) != 0 || !feof(file))
ereport(ERROR,
Probably the feof test is redundant this way, but I'd be inclined to
leave it in anyhow.
