Robert Haas 1b94f8f232 Avoid using a fake relcache entry to own an SmgrRelation.
If an error occurs before we close the fake relcache entry, the the
fake relcache entry will be destroyed by the SmgrRelation will
survive until end of transaction. Its smgr_owner pointer ends up
pointing to already-freed memory.

The original reason for using a fake relcache entry here was to try
to avoid reusing an SMgrRelation across a relevant invalidation. To
avoid that problem, just call smgropen() again each time we need a
reference to it. Hopefully someday we will come up with a more
elegant approach, but accessing uninitialized memory is bad so let's
do this for now.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
