When predicate-locking btrees, we have a special case for completely
empty btrees, since there is no page to lock. This was racy, because,
without buffer lock held, a matching key could be inserted between the
_bt_search() and the PredicateLockRelation() calls.
Fix, by rechecking _bt_search() after taking the relation-level SIREAD
lock, if using SERIALIZABLE isolation and an empty btree is discovered.

Commit f24523672d fixed a memory leak by moving the modifiedCols bitmap
into the per-row memory context. In the case of AFTER UPDATE triggers,
the bitmap is however referenced from an event kept until the end of the

Fixed by copying the bitmap into the AfterTriggerEvents memory context,
which is the one where we keep the trigger events. There's only one
place that needs to do the copy, but the memory context may not exist
yet. Doing that in a separate function seems more readable.

The Incremental Sort had a couple issues, resulting in leaking memory
during rescans, possibly triggering OOM. The code had a couple of
related flaws:
1. During rescans, the sort states were reset but then also set to NULL
(despite the comment saying otherwise). ExecIncrementalSort then
sees NULL and initializes a new sort state, leaking the memory used
by the old one.
2. Initializing the sort state also automatically rebuilt the info about
presorted keys, leaking the already initialized info. presorted_keys
was also unnecessarily reset to NULL.

The logic that introduced partitioned indexes missed a few things when
invalidating a partitioned index when these are created, still the code
is written to handle recursions:
1) If created from scratch because a mapping index could not be found,
the new index created could be itself invalid, if for example it was a
partitioned index with one of its leaves invalid.
2) A CCI was missing when indisvalid is set for a parent index, leading
to inconsistent trees when recursing across more than one level for a
partitioned index creation if an invalidation of the parent was
required.
This could lead to the creation of a partition index tree where some of
the partitioned indexes are marked as invalid, but some of the parents
are marked valid, which is not something that should happen (as
validatePartitionedIndex() defines, indisvalid is switched to true for a
partitioned index iff all its partitions are themselves valid).
This patch makes sure that indisvalid is set to false on a partitioned
index if at least one of its partition is invalid. The flag is set to
true if *all* its partitions are valid.
The regression test added in this commit abuses of a failed concurrent
index creation, marked as invalid, that maps with an index created on
its partitioned table afterwards.

while the temporary relation was registering a correct dependency to the

If the given composite datum is toasted out-of-line,
DatumGetHeapTupleHeader will perform database accesses to detoast it.
That can invalidate the result of get_cached_rowtype, as documented
(perhaps not plainly enough) in that function's API spec; which leads
to strange errors or crashes when we try to use the TupleDesc to read
the tuple. In short then, trying to update a field of a composite
column could fail intermittently if the overall column value is wide
enough to require toasting.
We can fix the bug at no cost by just changing the order of
operations, since we don't need the TupleDesc until after detoasting.
(Other callers of get_cached_rowtype appear to get this right already,
so there's only one bug.)
Note that the added regression test case reveals this bug reliably
only with debug_discard_caches/CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS.

It was walking into the ColumnDef->compression field, which is not a
node but a string. This code is currently not reachable (because the
compression field is only set in situations that don't go through
raw_expression_tree_walker()), but if it had been, this could have
behaved erratically.
A portion of ALTER TABLE .. ATTACH PARTITION is to ensure that the
partition being attached to the partitioned table has a correct set of
indexes, so as there is a consistent index mapping between the
partitioned table and its new-to-be partition. However, as introduced
in 8b08f7d, the current logic could choose an invalid index as a match,
which is something that can exist when dealing with more than two levels
of partitioning, like attaching a partitioned table (that has
partitions, with an index created by CREATE INDEX ON ONLY) to another
partitioned table.
A partitioned index with indisvalid set to false is equivalent to an
incomplete partition tree, meaning that an invalid partitioned index
does not have indexes defined in all its partitions. Hence, choosing an
invalid partitioned index can create inconsistent partition index trees,
where the parent attaching to is valid, but its partition may be
invalid.
In the report from Alexander Lakhin, this showed up as an assertion
failure when validating an index. Without assertions enabled, the
partition index tree would be actually broken, as indisvalid should
be switched to true for a partitioned index once all its partitions are
themselves valid. With two levels of partitioning, the top partitioned
table used a valid index and was able to link to an invalid index stored
on its partition, itself a partitioned table.
I have studied a few options here (like the possibility to switch
indisvalid to false for the parent), but came down to the conclusion
that we'd better rely on a simple rule: invalid indexes had better never
be chosen, so as the partition attached uses and creates indexes that
the parent expects. Some regression tests are added to provide some
coverage. Note that the existing coverage is not impacted.
This is a problem since partitioned indexes exist, so backpatch all the
way down to v11.

If the inner-side expressions contain PARAM_EXEC Params, we must

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

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.

A new-style SQL function can contain a parse-time dependency
on a unique index, much as views and matviews can (such cases
arise from GROUP BY and ON CONFLICT clauses, for example).
To dump and restore such a function successfully, pg_dump must
postpone the function until after the unique index is created,
which will happen in the post-data part of the dump. Therefore
we have to remove the normal constraint that functions are
dumped in pre-data. Add code similar to the existing logic

Avoid "right sibling's left-link doesn't match" 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 error was seen in the field from time to time (it's more than a
theoretical risk), so giving VACUUM the ability to press on like this
has real value. Nothing short of a REINDEX is expected to fix the
underlying index corruption, so giving up (by throwing an error) risks
making a bad situation far worse. Anything that blocks forward progress
by VACUUM like this might go unnoticed for a long time. This could
eventually lead to a wraparound/xidStopLimit outage.
Note that _bt_unlink_halfdead_page() has always been able to bail on
page deletion when the target page's left sibling page was in an
inconsistent state. It now does the same thing (returns false to back
out of the second phase of deletion) when it notices sibling link
corruption in the target page's right sibling page.
This is similar to the work from commit 5b861baa (later backpatched as
commit 43e409ce), which taught nbtree to press on with vacuuming an
index when page deletion fails to "re-find" a downlink in the target
page's parent page. The "re-find" check seems to make VACUUM bail on
page deletion more often in practice, but there is no reason to take any
chances here.

Backpatch: 11- (all supported versions).
The idea of EvalPlanQual is that we replace the query's scan of the
result relation with a single injected tuple, and see if we get a
tuple out, thereby implying that the injected tuple still passes the
query quals. (In join cases, other relations in the query are still
scanned normally.) This logic was not updated when commit 86dc90056
made it possible for a single DML query plan to have multiple result
relations, when the query target relation has inheritance or partition
children. We replaced the output for the current result relation
successfully, but other result relations were still scanned normally;
thus, if any other result relation contained a tuple satisfying the
quals, we'd think the EPQ check passed, even if it did not pass for
the injected tuple itself. This would lead to update or delete
actions getting performed when they should have been skipped due to
a conflicting concurrent update in READ COMMITTED isolation mode.
Fix by blocking all sibling result relations from emitting tuples
during an EvalPlanQual recheck. In the back branches, the fix is
complicated a bit by the need to not change the size of struct
EPQState (else we'd have ABI-breaking changes in offsets in
struct ModifyTableState). Like the back-patches of 3f7836ff6
and 4b3e37993, add a separately palloc'd struct to avoid that.
The logic is the same as in HEAD otherwise.
This is only a live bug back to v14 where 86dc90056 came in.
However, I chose to back-patch the test cases further, on the
grounds that this whole area is none too well tested. I skipped
doing so in v11 though because none of the test applied cleanly,
and it didn't quite seem worth extra work for a branch with only
six months to live.

Commits 681d9e462 et al added a test case in namespace.sql that
implicitly relied on there not being a table "public.abc".
However, the concurrently-run transactions.sql test creates precisely
such a table, so with the right timing you'd get a failure.
Creating a table named as generically as "abc" in a common schema
seems like bad practice, so fix this by changing the name of
transactions.sql's table. (Compare 2cf8c7aa4.)

Non-leaf pages of GiST indexes contain key attributes, leaf pages
contain both key and non-key attributes, and gist_page_items() ignored
the handling of non-key attributes. This caused a few problems when
using gist_page_items() on a GiST index with INCLUDE:
- On a non-leaf page, the function would crash.
- On a leaf page, the function would work, but miss to display all the
values for included attributes.
This commit fixes gist_page_items() to handle such cases in a more
appropriate way, and now displays the values of key and non-key
attributes for each item separately in a style consistent with what
ruleutils.c would generate for the attribute list, depending on the page
type dealt with. In a way similar to how a record is displayed, values
would be double-quoted for key or non-key attributes if required.
ruleutils.c did not provide a routine able to control if non-key
attributes should be displayed, so an extended() routine for index
definitions is added to work around the leaf and non-leaf page
differences.
While on it, this commit fixes a third problem related to the amount of
data reported for key attributes. The code originally relied on
BuildIndexValueDescription() (used for error reports on constraints)
that would not print all the data stored in the index but the index
opclass's input type, so this limited the amount of information
available. This switch makes gist_page_items() much cheaper as there is
no need to run ACL checks for each item printed, which is not an issue
anyway as superuser rights are required to execute the functions of
pageinspect. Opclasses whose data cannot be displayed can rely on
gist_page_items_bytea().
The documentation of this function was slightly incorrect for the
output results generated on HEAD and v15, so adjust it on these
branches.
