Thomas Munro 8fa2478b40 Fix race in Parallel Hash Join batch cleanup.
With very unlucky timing and parallel_leader_participation off, PHJ
could attempt to access per-batch state just as it was being freed.
There was code intended to prevent that by checking for a cleared
pointer, but it was buggy.

Fix, by introducing an extra barrier phase.  The new phase
PHJ_BUILD_RUNNING means that it's safe to access the per-batch state to
find a batch to help with, and PHJ_BUILD_DONE means that it is too late.
The last to detach will free the array of per-batch state as before, but
now it will also atomically advance the phase at the same time, so that
late attachers can avoid the hazard, without the data race.  This
mirrors the way per-batch hash tables are freed (see phases
PHJ_BATCH_PROBING and PHJ_BATCH_DONE).

Revealed by a one-off build farm failure, where BarrierAttach() failed a
sanity check assertion, because the memory had been clobbered by
dsa_free().

Back-patch to 11, where the code arrived.

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:

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.
