Commit d88976cfa1302e8d removed this code from ginFreeScanKeys(): - if (entry->list) - pfree(entry->list); evidently in the belief that that ItemPointer array is allocated in the keyCtx and so would be reclaimed by the following MemoryContextReset. Unfortunately, it isn't and it won't. It'd likely be a good idea for that to become so, but as a simple and back-patchable fix in the meantime, restore this code to ginFreeScanKeys(). Also, add a similar pfree to where startScanEntry() is about to zero out entry->list. I am not sure if there are any code paths where this change prevents a leak today, but it seems like cheap future-proofing. In passing, make the initial allocation of so->entries[] use palloc not palloc0. The code doesn't depend on unused entries being zero; if it did, the array-enlargement code in ginFillScanEntry() would be wrong. So using palloc0 initially can only serve to confuse readers about what the invariant is.

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: http://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.
