60 * RelationGetBufferForTuple
62 * Returns pinned and exclusive-locked buffer of a page in given relation
63 * with free space >= given len.
65 * If otherBuffer is not InvalidBuffer, then it references a previously
66 * pinned buffer of another page in the same relation; on return, this
67 * buffer will also be exclusive-locked. (This case is used by heap_update;
68 * the otherBuffer contains the tuple being updated.)
70 * The reason for passing otherBuffer is that if two backends are doing
71 * concurrent heap_update operations, a deadlock could occur if they try
72 * to lock the same two buffers in opposite orders. To ensure that this
73 * can't happen, we impose the rule that buffers of a relation must be
74 * locked in increasing page number order. This is most conveniently done
75 * by having RelationGetBufferForTuple lock them both, with suitable care
76 * for ordering.
78 * NOTE: it is unlikely, but not quite impossible, for otherBuffer to be the
79 * same buffer we select for insertion of the new tuple (this could only
80 * happen if space is freed in that page after heap_update finds there's not
81 * enough there). In that case, the page will be pinned and locked only once.
83 * If use_fsm is true (the normal case), we use FSM to help us find free
84 * space. If use_fsm is false, we always append a new empty page to the
85 * end of the relation if the tuple won't fit on the current target page.
86 * This can save some cycles when we know the relation is new and doesn't
87 * contain useful amounts of free space.
89 * The use_fsm = false case is also useful for non-WAL-logged additions to a
90 * relation, if the caller holds exclusive lock and is careful to invalidate
91 * relation->rd_targblock before the first insertion --- that ensures that
92 * all insertions will occur into newly added pages and not be intermixed
93 * with tuples from other transactions. That way, a crash can't risk losing
94 * any committed data of other transactions. (See heap_insert's comments
95 * for additional constraints needed for safe usage of this behavior.)
97 * We always try to avoid filling existing pages further than the fillfactor.
98 * This is OK since this routine is not consulted when updating a tuple and
99 * keeping it on the same page, which is the scenario fillfactor is meant
100 * to reserve space for.
102 * ereport(ERROR) is allowed here, so this routine *must* be called
103 * before any (unlogged) changes are made in buffer pool.
