create extension postgis raises out of memory if pg_store_plans in installed

[danielwestermann]

Hi,

on RedHat 7.7:

[root@rhel77 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.7 (Maipo)

... with this packages installed:

[root@rhel77 ~]# rpm -qa | egrep "postgres|postgis|store_plan"
postgresql12-server-12.3-5PGDG.rhel7.x86_64
postgresql12-contrib-12.3-5PGDG.rhel7.x86_64
postgresql12-12.3-5PGDG.rhel7.x86_64
postgis30_12-3.0.1-5.rhel7.x86_64
pg_store_plans12-1.4-1.el7.x86_64
postgresql12-libs-12.3-5PGDG.rhel7.x86_64
postgresql12-llvmjit-12.3-5PGDG.rhel7.x86_64

Once pg_store_plans is in shared_preload_libraries this does not work anymore:

-bash-4.2$ psql -p 5500
psql (12.3)
Type "help" for help.

postgres=# select version();
                                                 version

(1 row)

postgres=# create extension postgis;
server closed the connection unexpectedly
        This probably means the server terminated abnormally
        before or while processing the request.
The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Failed.

OOM kicks in and kills the process. Can someone please have a look at this?

Thanks in advance Daniel

Hi. Thanks for your report. I confirmed and could reproduce this problem.

When issue CREATE EXTENSION, pg_store_plans parses the query string for entire script per execute each query in the script. So, consume huge memory and killed by OOM-Killer. This problem became apparent because the PostGIS script contains a lot of queries

Since the execution plans of the queries executed by CREATE/ALTER EXTENSION is not very important, we may want to ignore getting the execution plan of these operations.

I'll PR the patch to solve this problem. Best regards,

Hi Kasahara,

thanks for working on that.

Best regards Daniel
