Various places were supposing that errno could be expected to hold still
within an ereport() nest or similar contexts. This isn't true necessarily,
though in some cases it accidentally failed to fail depending on how the
compiler chanced to order the subexpressions. This class of thinko
explains recent reports of odd failures on clang-built versions, typically
missing or inappropriate HINT fields in messages.
Problem identified by Christian Kruse, who also submitted the patch this
commit is based on. (I fixed a few issues in his patch and found a couple
of additional places with the same disease.)
Back-patch as appropriate to all supported branches.

In the platform that doesn't support Unix-domain socket, when
neither host nor hostaddr are specified, the default host
'localhost' is used to connect to the server and PQhost() must
return that, but it didn't. This patch fixes PQhost() so that
it returns the default host in that case.
Also this patch fixes PQhost() so that it doesn't return
Unix-domain socket directory path in the platform that doesn't
support Unix-domain socket.
Back-patch to all supported versions.

A while back, 2c92edad48796119c83d7dbe6c33425d1924626d allowed
type_func_name_keywords to be used in more places, including role
identifiers. Unfortunately, that commit missed out on cases where
name_list was used for lists-of-roles, eg: for DROP ROLE. This
resulted in the unfortunate situation that you could CREATE a role
with a type_func_name_keywords-allowed identifier, but not DROP it
(directly- ALTER could be used to rename it to something which
could be DROP'd).
This extends allowing type_func_name_keywords to places where role
lists can be used.
Back-patch to 9.0, as 2c92edad48796119c83d7dbe6c33425d1924626d was.

All these constructs generate parse trees consisting of a Const and
a run-time type coercion (perhaps a FuncExpr or a CoerceViaIO). Modify
the raw parse output so that we end up with the original token's location
attached to the type coercion node while the Const has location -1;
before, it was the other way around. This makes no difference in terms
of what exprLocation() will say about the parse tree as a whole, so it
should not have any user-visible impact. The point of changing it is that
we do not want contrib/pg_stat_statements to treat these constructs as
replaceable constants. It will do the right thing if the Const has
location -1 rather than a valid location.
This is a pretty ugly hack, but then this code is ugly already; we should
someday replace this translation with special-purpose parse node(s) that
would allow ruleutils.c to reconstruct the original query text.
(See also commit 5d3fcc4c2e137417ef470d604fee5e452b22f6a7, which also
hacked location assignment rules for the benefit of pg_stat_statements.)
Back-patch to 9.2 where pg_stat_statements grew the ability to recognize
replaceable constants.

We've always allowed CREATE TABLE to create tables in the database's default
tablespace without checking for CREATE permissions on that tablespace.
Unfortunately, the original implementation of ALTER TABLE ... SET TABLESPACE
didn't pick up on that exception.
This changes ALTER TABLE ... SET TABLESPACE to allow the database's default
tablespace without checking for CREATE rights on that tablespace, just as
CREATE TABLE works today. Users could always do this through a series of
commands (CREATE TABLE ... AS SELECT * FROM ...; DROP TABLE ...; etc), so
let's fix the oversight in SET TABLESPACE's original implementation.

The psql Makefile was not creating $(datadir) before installing
psqlrc.sample there.

Primarily, explain where to find the system-wide psqlrc file, per recent

Also adjust psqlrc.sample so its comments about file location are somewhat

but whatever.)

In ordinary operation, VACUUM must be careful to take a cleanup lock on
each leaf page of a btree index; this ensures that no indexscans could
still be "in flight" to heap tuples due to be deleted. (Because of
possible index-tuple motion due to concurrent page splits, it's not enough
to lock only the pages we're deleting index tuples from.) In Hot Standby,
the WAL replay process must likewise lock every leaf page. There were
several bugs in the code for that:
* The replay scan might come across unused, all-zero pages in the index.
While btree_xlog_vacuum itself did the right thing (ie, nothing) with
such pages, xlogutils.c supposed that such pages must be corrupt and
would throw an error. This accounts for various reports of replication
failures with "PANIC: WAL contains references to invalid pages". To
fix, add a ReadBufferMode value that instructs XLogReadBufferExtended
not to complain when we're doing this.
* btree_xlog_vacuum performed the extra locking if standbyState ==
STANDBY_SNAPSHOT_READY, but that's not the correct test: we won't open up
for hot standby queries until the database has reached consistency, and
we don't want to do the extra locking till then either, for fear of reading
corrupted pages (which bufmgr.c would complain about). Fix by exporting a
new function from xlog.c that will report whether we're actually in hot
standby replay mode.
* To ensure full coverage of the index in the replay scan, btvacuumscan
would emit a dummy WAL record for the last page of the index, if no
vacuuming work had been done on that page. However, if the last page
of the index is all-zero, that would result in corruption of said page,
since the functions called on it weren't prepared to handle that case.
There's no need to lock any such pages, so change the logic to target
the last normal leaf page instead.
The first two of these bugs were diagnosed by Andres Freund, the other one
by me. Fixes based on ideas from Heikki Linnakangas and myself.
This has been wrong since Hot Standby was introduced, so back-patch to 9.0.

Per reports from Andres Freund and Luke Campbell, a server failure during
set_pglocale_pgservice results in a segfault rather than a useful error
message, because the infrastructure needed to use ereport hasn't been
initialized; specifically, MemoryContextInit hasn't been called.
One known cause of this is starting the server in a directory it
doesn't have permission to read.
We could try to prevent set_pglocale_pgservice from using anything that
depends on palloc or elog, but that would be messy, and the odds of future
breakage seem high. Moreover there are other things being called in main.c
that look likely to use palloc or elog too --- perhaps those things
shouldn't be there, but they are there today. The best solution seems to
be to move the call of MemoryContextInit to very early in the backend's
real main() function. I've verified that an elog or ereport occurring
immediately after that is now capable of sending something useful to
stderr.
I also added code to elog.c to print something intelligible rather than
just crashing if MemoryContextInit hasn't created the ErrorContext.
This could happen if MemoryContextInit itself fails (due to malloc
failure), and provides some future-proofing against someone trying to
sneak in new code even earlier in server startup.
Back-patch to all supported branches. Since we've only heard reports of
this type of failure recently, it may be that some recent change has made
it more likely to see a crash of this kind; but it sure looks like it's
broken all the way back.

The standard typanalyze functions skip over values whose detoasted size
exceeds WIDTH_THRESHOLD (1024 bytes), so as to limit memory bloat during
ANALYZE. However, we (I think I, actually :-() failed to consider the
possibility that *every* non-null value in a column is too wide. While
compute_minimal_stats() seems to behave reasonably anyway in such a case,
compute_scalar_stats() just fell through and generated no pg_statistic
entry at all. That's unnecessarily pessimistic: we can still produce
valid stanullfrac and stawidth values in such cases, since we do include
too-wide values in the average-width calculation. Furthermore, since the
general assumption in this code is that too-wide values are probably all
distinct from each other, it seems reasonable to set stadistinct to -1
("all distinct").
Per complaint from Kadri Raudsepp. This has been like this since roughly
neolithic times, so back-patch to all supported branches.

In commit c1352052ef1d4eeb2eb1d822a207ddc2d106cb13, I implemented an
optimization that assumed that a function's argument expressions would
either always return a set (ie multiple rows), or always not. This is
wrong however: we allow CASE expressions in which some arms return a set
of some type and others just return a scalar of that type. There may be
other examples as well. To fix, replace the run-time test of whether an
argument returned a set with a static precheck (expression_returns_set).
This adds a little bit of query startup overhead, but it seems barely
measurable.
Per bug #8228 from David Johnston. This has been broken since 8.0,
so patch all supported branches.

If pause_at_recovery_target is set, recovery pauses *before* applying the
target record, even if recovery_target_inclusive is set. If you then
continue with pg_xlog_replay_resume(), it will apply the target record
before ending recovery. In other words, if you log in while it's paused
and verify that the database looks OK, ending recovery changes its state
again, possibly destroying data that you were tring to salvage with PITR.
Backpatch to 9.1, this has been broken since pause_at_recovery_target was
added.

When starting WAL replay from an online checkpoint, the last replayed WAL
record variable was initialized using the checkpoint record's location, even
though the records between the REDO location and the checkpoint record had
not been replayed yet. That was noted as "slightly confusing" but harmless
in the comment, but in some cases, it fooled CheckRecoveryConsistency to
incorrectly conclude that we had already reached a consistent state
immediately at the beginning of WAL replay. That caused the system to accept
read-only connections in hot standby mode too early, and also PANICs with
message "WAL contains references to invalid pages".
Fix by initializing the variables to the REDO location instead.
In 9.2 and above, change CheckRecoveryConsistency() to use
lastReplayedEndRecPtr variable when checking if backup end location has
been reached. It was inconsistently using EndRecPtr for that check, but
lastReplayedEndRecPtr when checking min recovery point. It made no
difference before this patch, because in all the places where
CheckRecoveryConsistency was called the two variables were the same, but
it was always an accident waiting to happen, and would have been wrong
after this patch anyway.

And the same for do_pg_stop_backup. The code in do_pg_* is not allowed
to access the catalogs. For manual base backups, the permissions
check can be handled in the calling function, and for streaming
base backups only users with the required permissions can get past
the authentication step in the first place.

Several previous commits have added columns to various \d queries without
updating their translate_columns[] arrays, leading to potentially incorrect
translations in NLS-enabled builds. Offenders include commit 893686762
(added prosecdef to \df+), c9ac00e6e (added description to \dc+) and
3b17efdfd (added description to \dC+). Fix those cases back to 9.3 or
9.2 as appropriate.
Since this is evidently more easily missed than one would like, in HEAD
also add an Assert that the supplied array is long enough. This requires
an API change for printQuery(), so it seems inappropriate for back
branches, but presumably all future changes will be tested in HEAD anyway.
In HEAD and 9.3, also clean up a whole lot of sloppiness in the emitted
SQL for \dy (event triggers): lack of translatability due to failing to
pass words-to-be-translated through gettext_noop(), inadequate schema
qualification, and sloppy formatting resulting in unnecessarily ugly
-E output.

There was an apparent attempt to limit the target database for
pg_restore to version 7.1.0 or later. Due to a leading zero this
was interpreted as an octal number, which allowed targets with
version numbers down to 2.87.36. The lowest actual release above
that was 6.0.0, so that was effectively the limit.
Since the success of the restore attempt will depend primarily on
on what statements were generated by the dump run, we don't want
pg_restore trying to guess whether a given target should be allowed
based on version number. Allow a connection to any version. Since
it is very unlikely that anyone would be using a recent version of
pg_restore to restore to a pre-6.0 database, this has little to no
practical impact, but it makes the code less confusing to read.

Instead of looking for characters that aren't valid in JSON numbers, we
simply pass the output string through the JSON number parser, and if it
fails the string is quoted. This means among other things that money and
domains over money will be quoted correctly and generate valid JSON.

Fix an oversight in commit b3aaf9081a1a95c245fd605dcf02c91b3a5c3a29: we do
indeed need to process the planner's append_rel_list when copying RTE
subqueries, because if any of them were flattenable UNION ALL subqueries,
the append_rel_list shows which subquery RTEs were pulled up out of which
other ones. Without this, UNION ALL subqueries aren't correctly inserted
into the update plans for inheritance child tables after the first one,
typically resulting in no update happening for those child table(s).
Per report from Victor Yegorov.
Experimentation with this case also exposed a fault in commit
a7b965382cf0cb30aeacb112572718045e6d4be7: if an inherited UPDATE/DELETE
was proven totally dummy by constraint exclusion, we might arrive at
add_rtes_to_flat_rtable with root->simple_rel_array being NULL. This
should be interpreted as not having any RelOptInfos. I chose to code
the guard as a check against simple_rel_array_size, so as to also
provide some protection against indexing off the end of the array.
Back-patch to 9.2 where the faulty code was added.

This prevents a possible longjmp out of the signal handler if a timeout
or SIGINT occurs while something within the handler has transiently set
ImmediateInterruptOK. For safety we must hold off the timeout or cancel
error until we're back in mainline, or at least till we reach the end of
the signal handler when ImmediateInterruptOK was true at entry. This
syncs these functions with the logic now present in handle_sig_alarm.
AFAICT there is no live bug here in 9.0 and up, because I don't think we
currently can wait for any heavyweight lock inside these functions, and
there is no other code (except read-from-client) that will turn on
ImmediateInterruptOK. However, that was not true pre-9.0: in older
branches ProcessIncomingNotify might block trying to lock pg_listener, and
then a SIGINT could lead to undesirable control flow. It might be all
right anyway given the relatively narrow code ranges in which NOTIFY
interrupts are enabled, but for safety's sake I'm back-patching this.

Make the COPY test, which loads most of the large static tables used in
the tests, also explicitly ANALYZE those tables. This allows us to get
rid of various ad-hoc, and rather redundant, ANALYZE commands that had
gotten stuck into various test scripts over time to ensure we got
consistent plan choices. (We could have done a database-wide ANALYZE,
but that would cause stats to get attached to the small static tables
too, which results in plan changes compared to the historical behavior.
I'm not sure that's a good idea, so not going that far for now.)
Back-patch to 9.0, since 9.0 and 9.1 are currently sometimes failing
regression tests for lack of an "ANALYZE tenk1" in the subselect test.
There's no need for this in 8.4 since we didn't print any plans back
then.

An expression such as WHERE (... x IN (SELECT ...) ...) IN (SELECT ...)
could produce an invalid plan that results in a crash at execution time,
if the planner attempts to flatten the outer IN into a semi-join.
This happens because convert_testexpr() was not expecting any nested
SubLinks and would wrongly replace any PARAM_SUBLINK Params belonging
to the inner SubLink. (I think the comment denying that this case could
happen was wrong when written; it's certainly been wrong for quite a long
time, since very early versions of the semijoin flattening logic.)

Current OpenSSL code includes a BIO_clear_retry_flags() step in the
sock_write() function. Either we failed to copy the code correctly, or
they added this since we copied it. In any case, lack of the clear step
appears to be the cause of the server lockup after connection loss reported
in bug #8647 from Valentine Gogichashvili. Assume that this is correct
coding for all OpenSSL versions, and hence back-patch to all supported

Insertion to a non-leaf GIN page didn't make a full-page image of the page,
which is wrong. The code used to do it correctly, but was changed (commit
853d1c3103fa961ae6219f0281885b345593d101) because the redo-routine didn't
track incomplete splits correctly when the page was restored from a full
page image. Of course, that was not right way to fix it, the redo routine
should've been fixed instead. The redo-routine was surreptitiously fixed
in 2010 (commit 4016bdef8aded77b4903c457050622a5a1815c16), so all we need
to do now is revert the code that creates the record to its original form.
This doesn't change the format of the WAL record.

The backpatch of a95335b544d9c8377e9dc7a399d8e9a155895f82 to 9.2, 9.1
and 9.0 was incomplete, missing changes to xlog.c, primarily the call
to TrimMultiXact(). Testing presumably didn't show a problem without
these changes because TrimMultiXact() performs defense-in-depth work,
which is not strictly necessary.
It also missed moving StartupMultiXact() which would have been
problematic if a restartpoing happened in exactly the wrong moment,
causing a transient error.

pg_dumpall's charter is to be able to recreate a database cluster's
contents in a virgin installation, but it was failing to honor that
contract if the cluster had any ALTER DATABASE SET
default_transaction_read_only settings. By including a SET command
for the connection for each connection opened by pg_dumpall output,
errors are avoided and the source cluster is successfully
recreated.
There was discussion of whether to also set this for the connection
applying pg_dump output, but it was felt that it was both less
appropriate in that context, and far easier to work around.

Commit 9dc842f08 of 8.2 era prevented MultiXact truncation during crash
recovery, because there was no guarantee that enough state had been
setup, and because it wasn't deemed to be a good idea to remove data
during crash recovery anyway. Since then, due to Hot-Standby, streaming
replication and PITR, the amount of time a cluster can spend doing crash
recovery has increased significantly, to the point that a cluster may
even never come out of it. This has made not truncating the content of
pg_multixact/ not defensible anymore.
To fix, take care to setup enough state for multixact truncation before
crash recovery starts (easy since checkpoints contain the required
information), and move the current end-of-recovery actions to a new
TrimMultiXact() function, analogous to TrimCLOG().
At some later point, this should probably done similarly to the way
clog.c is doing it, which is to just WAL log truncations, but we can't
do that for the back branches.
Back-patch to 9.0. 8.4 also has the problem, but since there's no hot
standby there, it's much less pressing. In 9.2 and earlier, this patch
is simpler than in newer branches, because multixact access during
recovery isn't required. Add appropriate checks to make sure that's not
happening.

Ensure that the invocation command for postgres or pg_ctl runservice
double-quotes the executable's pathname; failure to do this leads to
trouble when the path contains spaces.
Also, ensure that the path ends in ".exe" in both cases and uses
backslashes rather than slashes as directory separators. The latter issue
is reported to confuse some third-party tools such as Symantec Backup Exec.
Also, rewrite the function to avoid buffer overrun issues by using a
PQExpBuffer instead of a fixed-size static buffer. Combinations of
very long executable pathnames and very long data directory pathnames
could have caused trouble before, for example.
Back-patch to all active branches, since this code has been like this
for a long while.

The various places that transferred fast-path locks to the main lock table
neglected to release the PGPROC's backendLock if SetupLockInTable failed
due to being out of shared memory. In most cases this is no big deal since
ensuing error cleanup would release all held LWLocks anyway. But there are
some hot-standby functions that don't consider failure of
FastPathTransferRelationLocks to be a hard error, and in those cases this
oversight could lead to system lockup. For consistency, make all of these
places look the same as FastPathTransferRelationLocks.
Noted while looking for the cause of Dan Wood's bugs --- this wasn't it,
but it's a bug anyway.

We have for a long time checked the head pointer of each of the backend's
proclock lists and skipped acquiring the corresponding locktable partition
lock if the head pointer was NULL. This was safe enough in the days when
proclock lists were changed only by the owning backend, but it is pretty
questionable now that the fast-path patch added cases where backends add
entries to other backends' proclock lists. However, we don't really wish
to revert to locking each partition lock every time, because in simple
transactions that would add a lot of useless lock/unlock cycles on
already-heavily-contended LWLocks. Fortunately, the only way that another
backend could be modifying our proclock list at this point would be if it
was promoting a formerly fast-path lock of ours; and any such lock must be
one that we'd decided not to delete in the previous loop over the locallock
table. So it's okay if we miss seeing it in this loop; we'd just decide
not to delete it again. However, once we've detected a non-empty list,
we'd better re-fetch the list head pointer after acquiring the partition
lock. This guards against possibly fetching a corrupt-but-non-null pointer
if pointer fetch/store isn't atomic. It's not clear if any practical
architectures are like that, but we've never assumed that before and don't
wish to start here. In any case, the situation certainly deserves a code
comment.
While at it, refactor the partition traversal loop to use a for() construct
instead of a while() loop with goto's.
Back-patch, just in case the risk is real and not hypothetical.
|

When acquiring a lock in fast-path mode, we must reset the locallock
object's lock and proclock fields to NULL. They are not necessarily that
way to start with, because the locallock could be left over from a failed
lock acquisition attempt earlier in the transaction. Failure to do this
led to all sorts of interesting misbehaviors when LockRelease tried to
clean up no-longer-related lock and proclock objects in shared memory.
Per report from Dan Wood.
In passing, modify LockRelease to elog not just Assert if it doesn't find
lock and proclock objects for a formerly fast-path lock, matching the code
in FastPathGetRelationLockEntry and LockRefindAndRelease. This isn't a
bug but it will help in diagnosing any future bugs in this area.
Also, modify FastPathTransferRelationLocks and FastPathGetRelationLockEntry
to break out of their loops over the fastpath array once they've found the
sole matching entry. This was inconsistently done in some search loops
and not others.
Improve assorted related comments, too.
Back-patch to 9.2 where the fast-path mechanism was introduced.

Vacuum recognizes that it can update relfrozenxid by checking whether it has
processed all pages of a relation. Unfortunately it performed that check
after truncating the dead pages at the end of the relation, and used the new
number of pages to decide whether all pages have been scanned. If the new
number of pages happened to be smaller or equal to the number of pages
scanned, it incorrectly decided that all pages were scanned.
This can lead to relfrozenxid being updated, even though some pages were
skipped that still contain old XIDs. That can lead to data loss due to xid
wraparounds with some rows suddenly missing. This likely has escaped notice
so far because it takes a large number (~2^31) of xids being used to see the
effect, while a full-table vacuum before that would fix the issue.
The incorrect logic was introduced by commit
b4b6923e03f4d29636a94f6f4cc2f5cf6298b8c8. Backpatch this fix down to 8.4,
like that commit.

variables is varchar. This fixes this test case:

{
exec sql begin declare section;
varchar a[50], b[50];

Since varchars are internally turned into custom structs and
the type name is emitted for these variable declarations,
the preprocessed code previously had:
struct varchar_1 { ... } a _,_ struct varchar_2 { ... } b ;

The previous coding labeled expressions such as pg_index.indkey[1:3] as
being of int2vector type; which is not right because the subscript bounds
of such a result don't, in general, satisfy the restrictions of int2vector.
To fix, implicitly promote the result of slicing int2vector to int2[],
or oidvector to oid[]. This is similar to what we've done with domains
over arrays, which is a good analogy because these types are very much
like restricted domains of the corresponding regular-array types.
A side-effect is that we now also forbid array-element updates on such
columns, eg while "update pg_index set indkey[4] = 42" would have worked
before if you were superuser (and corrupted your catalogs irretrievably,
no doubt) it's now disallowed. This seems like a good thing since, again,
some choices of subscripting would've led to results not satisfying the
restrictions of int2vector. The case of an array-slice update was
rejected before, though with a different error message than you get now.
We could make these cases work in future if we added a cast from int2[]
to int2vector (with a cast function checking the subscript restrictions)
but it seems unlikely that there's any value in that.
Per report from Ronan Dunklau. Back-patch to all supported branches

If logging is enabled, either ereport() or fprintf() might stomp on errno
internally, causing this function to return the wrong result. That might
only end in a misleading error report, but in any code that's examining
errno to decide what to do next, the consequences could be far graver.
This has been broken since the very first version of this file in 2006
... it's a bit astonishing that we didn't identify this long ago.

A pointer to a C string was treated as a pointer to a "name" datum and
passed to SPI_execute_plan(). This pointer would then end up being
passed through datumCopy(), which would try to copy the entire 64 bytes
of name data, thus running past the end of the C string. Fix by
converting the string to a proper name structure.

pullup_replace_vars()'s decisions about whether a pulled-up replacement
expression needs to be wrapped in a PlaceHolderVar depend on the assumption
that what looks like a Var behaves like a Var. However, if the Var is a
join alias reference, later flattening of join aliases might replace the
Var with something that's not a Var at all, and should have been wrapped.
To fix, do a forcible pass of flatten_join_alias_vars() on the subquery
targetlist before we start to copy items out of it. We'll re-run that
processing on the pulled-up expressions later, but that's harmless.
Per report from Ken Tanzer; the added regression test case is based on his
example. This bug has been there since the PlaceHolderVar mechanism was
invented, but has escaped detection because the circumstances that trigger
it are fairly narrow. You need a flattenable query underneath an outer
join, which contains another flattenable query inside a join of its own,
with a dangerous expression (a constant or something else non-strict)
in that one's targetlist.
Having seen this, I'm wondering if it wouldn't be prudent to do all
alias-variable flattening earlier, perhaps even in the rewriter.
But that would probably not be a back-patchable change.

These bugs can cause data loss on standbys started with hot_standby=on at
the moment they start to accept read only queries, by marking committed
transactions as uncommited. The likelihood of such corruptions is small
unless the primary has a high transaction rate.
5a031a5556ff83b8a9646892715d7fef415b83c3 fixed bugs in HS's startup logic
by maintaining less state until at least STANDBY_SNAPSHOT_PENDING state
was reached, missing the fact that both clog and subtrans are written to
before that. This only failed to fail in common cases because the usage
of ExtendCLOG in procarray.c was superflous since clog extensions are
actually WAL logged.
f44eedc3f0f347a856eea8590730769125964597/I then tried to fix the missing
extensions of pg_subtrans due to the former commit's changes - which are
not WAL logged - by performing the extensions when switching to a state
> STANDBY_INITIALIZED and not performing xid assignments before that -
again missing the fact that ExtendCLOG is unneccessary - but screwed up
twice: Once because latestObservedXid wasn't updated anymore in that
state due to the earlier commit and once by having an off-by-one error in
the loop performing extensions. This means that whenever a
CLOG_XACTS_PER_PAGE (32768 with default settings) boundary was crossed
between the start of the checkpoint recovery started from and the first
xl_running_xact record old transactions commit bits in pg_clog could be
overwritten if they started and committed in that window.
Fix this mess by not performing ExtendCLOG() in HS at all anymore since
it's unneeded and evidently dangerous and by performing subtrans
extensions even before reaching STANDBY_SNAPSHOT_PENDING.
Analysis and patch by Andres Freund. Reported by Christophe Pettus.
Backpatch down to 9.0, like the previous commit that caused this.
