From f1056e0793812118c462a2338ff2ca5ab5ce55ce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fujii Masao Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 14:50:48 +0900 Subject: [PATCH v1] pgbench: fix verbose error message corruption with multiple threads When pgbench runs with multiple threads and verbose error reporting is enabled (--verbose-errors), multiple clients can build verbose error messages concurrently. Previously, a function-local static PQExpBuffer was used for these messages, causing the buffer to be shared across threads. This was not thread-safe and could result in corrupted or incorrect log output. Fix this by using a local PQExpBufferData instead of a static buffer. This keeps verbose error messages correct during concurrent execution. Backpatch to v15, where this issue was introduced. --- src/bin/pgbench/pgbench.c | 23 +++++++++++------------ 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/bin/pgbench/pgbench.c b/src/bin/pgbench/pgbench.c index 80d14108c28..dc0c48f86f0 100644 --- a/src/bin/pgbench/pgbench.c +++ b/src/bin/pgbench/pgbench.c @@ -3586,23 +3586,20 @@ getTransactionStatus(PGconn *con) static void printVerboseErrorMessages(CState *st, pg_time_usec_t *now, bool is_retry) { - static PQExpBuffer buf = NULL; + PQExpBufferData buf; - if (buf == NULL) - buf = createPQExpBuffer(); - else - resetPQExpBuffer(buf); + initPQExpBuffer(&buf); - printfPQExpBuffer(buf, "client %d ", st->id); - appendPQExpBuffer(buf, "%s", + printfPQExpBuffer(&buf, "client %d ", st->id); + appendPQExpBuffer(&buf, "%s", (is_retry ?
