The error handling here was a mess, as a result of a fundamentally bad design (relying on errno to keep its value much longer than is safe to assume) as well as a lot of just plain sloppiness, both as to noticing errors at all and as to reporting the correct errno. Moreover, the recent addition of LZ4 compression broke things completely, because liblz4 doesn't use errno to report errors. To improve matters, keep the error state in the DirectoryMethodData or TarMethodData struct, and add a string field so we can handle cases that don't set errno. (The tar methods already had a version of this, but it can be done more efficiently since all these cases use a constant error string.) Make the dir and tar methods handle errors in basically identical ways, which they didn't before. This requires copying errno into the state struct in a lot of places, which is a bit tedious, but it has the virtue that we can get rid of ad-hoc code to save and restore errno in a number of places ... not to mention that it fixes other places that should've saved/restored errno but neglected to. In passing, fix some pointlessly static buffers to be ordinary local variables. There remains an issue about exactly how to handle errors from fsync(), but that seems like material for its own patch. While the LZ4 problems are new, all the rest of this is fixes for old bugs, so backpatch to v10 where walmethods.c was introduced. Patch by me; thanks to Michael Paquier for review.

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/.
