Subject: Fix incorrect "return NULL" in BumpAllocLarge().
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a05cf22e0540e55fb34e26e6e98a8a76b76d1cbd;p=thirdparty%2Fpostgresql.git

Fix incorrect "return NULL" in BumpAllocLarge().

This must be "return MemoryContextAllocationFailure(context, size, flags)"
instead.  The effect of this oversight is that if we got a malloc
failure right here, the code would act as though MCXT_ALLOC_NO_OOM
had been specified, whether it was or not.  That would likely lead
to a null-pointer-dereference crash at the unsuspecting call site.

Noted while messing with a patch to improve our Valgrind leak
detection support.  Back-patch to v17 where this code came in.
