SI invalidation events, rather than indirectly through the relcache. In the previous coding, we had to flush a composite-type typcache entry whenever we discarded the corresponding relcache entry. This caused problems at least when testing with RELCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE, as shown in recent report from Jeff Davis, and might result in real-world problems given the kind of unexpected relcache flush that that test mechanism is intended to model. The new coding decouples relcache and typcache management, which is a good thing anyway from a structural perspective. The cost is that we have to search the typcache linearly to find entries that need to be flushed. There are a couple of ways we could avoid that, but at the moment it's not clear it's worth any extra trouble, because the typcache contains very few entries in typical operation. Back-patch to 8.2, the same as some other recent fixes in this general area. The patch could be carried back to 8.0 with some additional work, but given that it's only hypothetical whether we're fixing any problem observable in the field, it doesn't seem worth the work now. |
