The documentation of the required privileges for maintenance
commands (i.e., VACUUM, ANALYZE, CLUSTER, LOCK TABLE, REFRESH
MATERIALIZED VIEW, and REINDEX) is redundant, inaccurate, and
difficult to read. This commit fixes and simplifies this
documentation by removing references to ownership, superuser, and
the pg_maintain role. In addition, this removes notes about
database-wide VACUUM and ANALYZE, clarifies matters for REINDEX on
partitioned indexes and tables, and strengthens the description of
the pg_maintain role.

ff9618e82a introduced has_partition_ancestor_privs(), which is used
to check whether a user has MAINTAIN on any partition ancestors.
This involves syscache lookups, and presently this function does
not take any relation locks, so it is likely subject to the same
kind of cache lookup failures that were fixed by 19de0ab23c.
To fix this problem, this commit partially reverts ff9618e82a.
Specifically, it removes the partition-related changes, including
the has_partition_ancestor_privs() function mentioned above. This
means that MAINTAIN on a partitioned table is no longer sufficient
to perform maintenance commands on its partitions. This is more
like how privileges for maintenance commands work on supported
versions. Privileges are checked for each partition, so a command
that flows down to all partitions might refuse to process them
(e.g., if the current user doesn't have MAINTAIN on the partition).
In passing, adjust a few related comments and error messages, and
add a test for the privilege checks for CLUSTER on a partitioned
table.

Avoid "right sibling %u of block %u is not next child" errors when
vacuuming a corrupt nbtree index. Just LOG the issue and press on.
That way VACUUM will have a decent chance of finishing off all required
processing for the index (and for the table as a whole).
This is similar to recent work from commit 5abff197, as well as work
from commit 5b861baa (later backpatched as commit 43e409ce), which
taught nbtree VACUUM to keep going when its "re-find" check fails. The

Backpatch: 11- (all supported versions).
exec_parse_message() wants to create a cached plan in all cases,
including for empty input. The empty-input path does not have
a test for being in an aborted transaction, making it possible
that plancache.c will fail due to trying to do database lookups
even though there's no real work to do.
One solution would be to throw an aborted-transaction error in
this path too, but it's not entirely clear whether the lack of
such an error was intentional or whether some clients might be
relying on non-error behavior. Instead, let's hack plancache.c
so that it treats empty statements with the same logic it
already had for transaction control commands, ensuring that it
can soldier through even in an already-aborted transaction.

This partially reverts 68cb5af, as using archiving to enforce the
rename of the last partial segment of the old timeline at promotion to

As showed by the logs gathered by the CI in the tests that failed, a new

This problem would manifest as a run timeout with 009_twophase.pl, as

If the inner-side expressions contain PARAM_EXEC Params, we must
re-hash whenever the values of those Params change. The executor
mechanism for that exists already, but we failed to invoke it because
finalize_plan() neglected to search the Hash.hashkeys field for
Params. This allowed a previous scan's hash table to be re-used
when it should not be, leading to rows missing from the join's output.
(I believe incorrectly-included join rows are impossible however,
since checking the real hashclauses would reject false matches.)
This bug is very ancient, dating probably to d24d75ff1 of 7.4.
Sadly, this simple fix depends on the plan representational changes

I removed the delay_upper_joins mechanism in commit b448f1c8d,
reasoning that it was only needed when we have a single-table
(SELECT ... WHERE) as the immediate RHS child of a left join,
and we could get rid of that by hoisting the WHERE condition into
the parent join's quals. However that new code missed a case:
we could have "foo LEFT JOIN ((SELECT ... WHERE) LEFT JOIN bar)",
and if the two left joins can be commuted then we now have the
problematic query shape. We can fix this too easily enough,
by allowing the syntactically-lower left join to pass through
its parent qual location pointer recursively. That lets
prepjointree.c discard the SELECT by temporarily hoisting the
WHERE condition into the ancestor join's qual.

It turns out that the fixes we applied in commits bfd332b3f
and 63e4f13d2 were not nearly enough to solve the problem.
We'd focused narrowly on subquery RTEs with lateral references,
but lateral references can occur in several other RTE kinds
such as function RTEs. Putting the same hack into half a dozen
code paths seems quite unattractive. Hence, revert the code changes
(but not the test cases) from those commits and instead solve it
centrally in identify_current_nestloop_params(), as Richard proposed
originally. This is a bit annoying because it could mask erroneous
nullingrels in nestloop params that are generated from non-LATERAL
parameterized paths; but on balance I don't see a better way.
Maybe at some future time we'll be motivated to find a more rigorous
approach to nestloop params, but that's not happening for beta2.

Starting with 4d330a61bb we can use posix_fallocate() to extend
files. Unfortunately in some situation, e.g. on tmpfs filesystems, EINTR may
be returned. See also 4518c798b2.
To fix, add a retry path to FileFallocate(). In contrast to 4518c798b2 the
amount we extend by is limited and the extending may happen at a high
frequency, so disabling signals does not appear to be the correct path here.
Also add retry paths to other file operations currently lacking them (around
fdatasync(), fsync(), ftruncate(), posix_fadvise(), sync_file_range(),
truncate()) - they are all documented or have been observed to return EINTR.
Even though most of these functions used in the back branches, it does not
seem worth the risk to backpatch - outside of the new-to-16 case of
posix_fallocate() I am not aware of problem reports due to the lack of

Here we adjust relation_has_unique_index_for() so that it no longer makes

use these as the predicates used by check_index_predicates() to set
predOK makes use of not only baserestrictinfo quals as proofs, but also
qual from join conditions. For relation_has_unique_index_for()'s case, we
need to know the relation is unique for a given set of columns before any
joins are evaluated, so if predOK was only set to true due to some join
qual, then it's unsafe to use such indexes in
relation_has_unique_index_for(). The final plan may not even make use
of that index, which could result in reading tuples that are not as

Since commit b448f1c8d, we've been able to remove left joins
(that are otherwise removable) even when they are underneath
other left joins, a case that was previously prevented by a
delay_upper_joins check. This is a clear improvement, but
it has a surprising side-effect: it's now possible that there
are EquivalenceClasses whose relid sets mention the removed
baserel and/or outer join. If we fail to clean those up,
we may drop essential join quals due to not having any join
level that appears to satisfy their relid sets.
(It's not quite 100% clear that this was impossible before.
But the lack of complaints since we added join removal a dozen
years ago strongly suggests that it was impossible.)

This applies the new error message API from commit 0873b2d354 to the
changes introduced by bbf9c282ce. The latter was committed shortly
after the former, so it probably didn't get the news in time.
As gist__int_ops stands in intarray, it is possible to store GiST
entries for leaf pages that can cause corruptions when decompressed.
Leaf nodes are stored as decompressed all the time by the compression
method, and the decompression method should map with that, retrieving
the contents of the page without doing any decompression. However, the
code authorized the insertion of leaf page data with a higher number of
array items than what can be supported, generating a NOTICE message to
inform about this matter (199 for a 8k page, for reference). When
calling the decompression method, a decompression would be attempted on
this leaf node item but the contents should be retrieved as they are.
The NOTICE message generated when dealing with the compression of a leaf
page and too many elements in the input array for gist__int_ops has been
introduced by 08ee64e, removing the marker stored in the array to track
if this is actually a leaf node. However, it also missed the fact that
the decompression path should do nothing for a leaf page. Hence, as the
code stand, a too-large array would be stored as uncompressed but the
decompression path would attempt a decompression rather that retrieving
the contents as they are.
This leads to various problems. First, even if 08ee64e tried to address
that, it is possible to do out-of-bound chunk writes with a large input
array, with the backend informing about that with WARNINGs. On
decompression, retrieving the stored leaf data would lead to incorrect
memory reads, leading to crashes or even worse.
Perhaps somebody would be interested in expanding the number of array
items that can be handled in a leaf page for this operator in the
future, which would require revisiting the choice done in 08ee64e, but
based on the lack of reports about this problem since 2005 it does not
look so. For now, this commit prevents the insertion of data for leaf
pages when using more array items that the code can handle on
decompression, switching the NOTICE message to an ERROR. If one wishes
to use more array items, gist__intbig_ops is an optional choice.
While on it, use ERRCODE_PROGRAM_LIMIT_EXCEEDED as error code when a
limit is reached, because that's what the module is facing in such
cases.
