For parallel btree scan to work for array of scan keys, it should reach
BTPARALLEL_DONE state once for every distinct combination of array keys.
This is required to ensure that the parallel workers don't try to seize
blocks at the same time for different scan keys. We missed to update this
state when we discovered that the scan keys can't be satisfied.

Since commit fd5942c18f97 (2012, 9.3-era), walsender has been sending
completion tags for certain replication commands twice -- and they're
not even consistent. Apparently neither libpq nor JDBC have a problem
with it, but it's not kosher. Fix by remove the EndCommand() call in
the common code path for them all, and inserting specific calls to
EndReplicationCommand() specifically in those places where it's needed.
EndReplicationCommand() is a new simple function to send the completion
tag for replication commands. Do this instead of sending a generic
SELECT completion tag for them all, which was also pretty bogus (if
innocuous). While at it, change StartReplication() to use
EndReplicationCommand() instead of pg_puttextmessage().
In commit 2f9661311b83, I failed to realize that replication commands
are not close-enough kin of regular SQL commands, so the
DROP_REPLICATION_SLOT tag I added is undeserved and a type pun. Take it
out.
Backpatch to 13, where the latter commit appeared. The duplicate tag
has been sent since 9.3, but since nothing is broken, it doesn't seem
worth fixing.

Commit d114cc53 overlooked the fact that pg_upgrade'd B-Tree indexes
have leaf page high keys whose offset numbers do not match the one from
the copy of the tuple one level up (the copy stored with a downlink for
leaf page's right sibling page). This led to false positive reports of
corruption from bt_index_parent_check() when it was called to verify a
pg_upgrade'd index.
To fix, skip comparing the offset number on pg_upgrade'd B-Tree indexes.

Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16619-aaba10f83fdc1c3c@postgresql.org
Backpatch: 13-, where child check was enhanced.
If a partitioned table's column is already marked NOT NULL, there is
no need to examine its partitions, because we can rely on previous
DDL to have enforced that the child columns are NOT NULL as well.
(Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for traditional inheritance,
so for now we have to restrict the optimization to partitioned tables.)
Hence, we may skip recursing to child tables in this situation.
The reason this case is worth worrying about is that when pg_dump dumps
a partitioned table having a primary key, it will include the requisite
NOT NULL markings in the CREATE TABLE commands, and then add the
primary key as a separate step. The primary key addition generates a
SET NOT NULL as a subcommand, just to be sure. So the situation where
a SET NOT NULL is redundant does arise in the real world.
Skipping the recursion does more than just save a few cycles: it means
that a command such as "ALTER TABLE ONLY partition_parent ADD PRIMARY
KEY" will take locks only on the partition parent table, not on the
partitions. It turns out that parallel pg_restore is effectively
assuming that that's true, and has little choice but to do so because
the dependencies listed for such a TOC entry don't include the
partitions. pg_restore could thus issue this ALTER while data restores
on the partitions are still in progress. Taking unnecessary locks on
the partitions not only hurts concurrency, but can lead to actual
deadlock failures, as reported by Domagoj Smoljanovic.
(A contributing factor in the deadlock is that TRUNCATE on a child
partition wants a non-exclusive lock on the parent. This seems
likewise unnecessary, but the fix for it is more invasive so we
won't consider back-patching it. Fortunately, getting rid of one
of these two poor behaviors is enough to remove the deadlock.)
Although support for partitioned primary keys came in with v11,
this patch is dependent on the SET NOT NULL refactoring done by
commit f4a3fdfbd, so we can only patch back to v12.
Patch by me; thanks to Alvaro Herrera and Amit Langote for review.

The code recorded cache invalidation events by zeroing the "localreloid"
field of affected cache entries. However, it's possible for an inval
event to occur even while we have the entry open and locked. So an
ill-timed inval could result in "cache lookup failed for relation 0"
errors, if the worker's code tried to use the cleared field. We can
fix that by creating a separate bool field to record whether the entry
needs to be revalidated. (In the back branches, cram the bool into
what had been padding space, to avoid an ABI break in the somewhat
unlikely event that any extension is looking at this struct.)
Also, rearrange the logic in logicalrep_rel_open so that it
does the right thing in cases where table_open would fail.
We should retry the lookup by name in that case, but we didn't.
The real-world impact of this is probably small. In the first place,
the error conditions are very low probability, and in the second place,
the worker would just exit and get restarted. We only noticed because
in a CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS build, the failure can occur repeatedly,
preventing the worker from making progress. Nonetheless, it's clearly
a bug, and it impedes a useful type of testing; so back-patch to v10
where this code was introduced.

Previously, it was based on nBlocksAllocated to account for tapes with
open write buffers that may not have made it to the BufFile yet.
That was unnecessary, because callers do not need to get the number of
blocks while a tape has an open write buffer; and it also conflicted
with the preallocation logic added for HashAgg.

ALTER TABLE commands in an extension script are added to an event
trigger command list; but starting with commit b5810de3f4 they do so in
a memory context that's too short-lived, so when execution ends and time
comes to use the entries, they've already been freed.
(This would also be a problem with ALTER TABLE commands in a
multi-command query string, but these serendipitously end in
PortalContext -- which probably explains why it took so long for this to
be reported.)
Fix by using the memory context specifically set for that, instead.

transformCreateStmt() adjusts the transformed statement's RangeVar
to specify the target schema explicitly, for the express reason
of making sure that auxiliary statements derived by parse
transformation operate on the right table. But the refactoring
I did in commit 502898192 got this wrong and passed the untransformed
RangeVar to expandTableLikeClause(). This could lead to assertion

Bring the signal handling for startup-packet collection into line
with the policy established in commits bedadc732 and 8e19a8264,
namely don't risk running atexit callbacks when handling SIGQUIT.
Ideally, we'd not do so for SIGTERM or timeout interrupts either,
but that change seems a bit too risky for the back branches.
For now, just improve the comments in this area to describe the risk.
Also relocate where BackendInitialize re-disables these interrupts,
to minimize the code span where they're active. This doesn't buy
a whole lot of safety, but it can't hurt.
In passing, rename startup_die() to remove confusion about whether
it is for the startup process.

Commit 8e19a8264 changed the SIGQUIT handlers of almost all server
processes not to run atexit callbacks. The archiver process was
skipped, perhaps because it's not connected to shared memory; but
it's just as true here that running atexit callbacks in a signal
handler is unsafe. So let's make it work like the rest.
In HEAD and v13, we can use the common SignalHandlerForCrashExit
handler. Before that, just tweak pgarch_exit to use _exit(2)
explicitly.

Commit 15cb2bd27 neglected to make the running text match the
tables, leaving the reader with the strong impression that
we cannot count. Also, don't drop an unrelated para between
a table and the para describing it.
Partitioning tuple route code assumes that the partition chosen while
descending the partition hierarchy is always the correct one. This is
true except when the partition is the default partition and another
partition has been added concurrently: the partition constraint changes
and we don't recheck it. This can lead to tuples mistakenly being added
to the default partition that should have been rejected.
Fix by rechecking the default partition constraint while descending the
hierarchy.

This is duplicative of an lstat that was just done by the calling
function (traverse_datadir), besides which we weren't really doing
anything with the results. There's not much point in checking to
see if someone removed the file since the previous lstat, since the
FILE_ACTION_REMOVE code would have to deal with missing-file cases
anyway. Moreover, the "exists = false" assignment was a dead store;
nothing was done with that value later.

I happened to notice that the new test case I added in b55b4dad9
falls over if one runs "make check" repeatedly; though not in branches
after v10. That's because it was assuming that tmp_check/pgpass
wouldn't exist already. However, it's only been since v11 that the
Makefiles forcibly remove all of tmp_check/ before starting a TAP run.
This fix to unlink the file is therefore strictly necessary only in
v10 ... but it seems wisest to do it across the board, rather than
let the test rely on external logic to get the conditions right.
Commit 3f60f690f only partially fixed the broken-status-tracking
issue in LogicalRepApplyLoop: we need ping_sent to have the same
lifetime as last_recv_timestamp. The effects are much less serious
than what that commit fixed, though. AFAICS this would just lead to
extra ping requests being sent, once per second until the sender
responds. Still, it's a bug, so backpatch to v10 as before.

Fix by Fabrízio de Royes Mello
Backpatch to release 12 where the bug was introduced.
The "DROP ACCESS METHOD gist2" test will require locking the index
to be dropped and then its table; while most ordinary operations
lock a table first then its index. While no concurrent test scripts
should be touching fast_emp4000, autovacuum might chance to be
processing that table when the DROP runs, resulting in a deadlock
failure. This is pretty rare but we see it in the buildfarm from
time to time.
To fix, acquire a lock on fast_emp4000 before issuing the DROP.
Since the point of the exercise is mostly to prevent buildfarm
failures, back-patch to 9.6 where this test was introduced.

Because sigsetjmp() will restore the initial state with signals blocked,
the code path in bgworker.c for reporting an error and exiting would
execute that way. Usually this is fairly harmless; but if a parallel
worker had an error message exceeding the shared-memory communication
buffer size (16K) it would lock up, because it would wait for a
resume-sending signal from its parallel leader which it would never
detect.
To fix, just unblock signals at the appropriate point.
This can be shown to fail back to 9.6. The lack of parallel query
infrastructure makes it difficult to provide a simple test case for
9.5; but I'm pretty sure the issue exists in some form there as well,
so apply the code change there too.
