Fix pushdown of degenerate HAVING clauses
67a54b9e8 taught the planner to push down HAVING clauses even when
grouping sets are present, as long as the clause does not reference
any columns that are nullable by the grouping sets. However, there
was an oversight: if any empty grouping sets are present, the
aggregation node can produce a row that did not come from the input,
and pushing down a HAVING clause in this case may cause us to fail to
filter out that row.
Currently, non-degenerate HAVING clauses are not pushed down when
empty grouping sets are present, since the empty grouping sets would
nullify the vars they reference. However, degenerate (variable-free)
HAVING clauses are not subject to this restriction and may be
incorrectly pushed down.
To fix, explicitly check for the presence of empty grouping sets and
retain degenerate clauses in HAVING when they are present. This
ensures that we don't emit a bogus aggregated row. A copy of each
such clause is also put in WHERE so that query_planner() can use it in
a gating Result node.
To facilitate this check, this patch expands the groupingSets tree of
the query to a flat list of grouping sets before applying the HAVING
pushdown optimization. This does not add any additional planning
overhead, since we need to do this expansion anyway.
In passing, make a small tweak to preprocess_grouping_sets() by
reordering its initial operations a bit.

(1) We only use gzgetc() when trying to read a manually-compressed

Fix hashjoin memory balancing logic
Commit a1b4f289beec improved the hashjoin sizing to also consider the
memory used by BufFiles for batches. The code however had multiple
issues, making it ineffective or not working as expected in some cases.
* The amount of memory needed by buffers was calculated using uint32,
so it would overflow for nbatch >= 262144. If this happened the loop
would exit prematurely and the memory usage would not be reduced.
The nbatch overflow is fixed by reworking the condition to not use a
multiplication at all, so there's no risk of overflow. An explicit
cast was added to a similar calculation in ExecHashIncreaseBatchSize.
* The loop adjusting the nbatch value used hash_table_bytes to calculate
the old/new size, but then updated only space_allowed. The consequence
is the total memory usage was not reduced, but all the memory saved by
reducing the number of batches was used for the internal hash table.
This was fixed by using only space_allowed. This is also more correct,
because hash_table_bytes does not account for skew buckets.
* The code was also doubling multiple parameters (e.g. the number of
buckets for hash table), but was missing overflow protections.
The loop now checks for overflow, and terminates if needed. It'd be
possible to cap the value and continue the loop, but it's not worth
the complexity. And the overflow implies the in-memory hash table is
already very large anyway.
While at it, rework the comment explaining how the memory balancing
works, to make it more concise and easier to understand.

of bringing that number roughly into line.
With compress = none you get data blocks the same sizes as the
table rows, which seems potentially problematic for narrow tables.
Introduce a layer of buffering to make that case match the others.
Comments in compress_io.h and 002_pg_dump.pl suggest that if
we increase DEFAULT_IO_BUFFER_SIZE then we need to increase the
amount of data fed through the tests in order to improve coverage.
I've not done that here, leaving it for a separate patch.

Fix EPQ crash from missing partition directory in EState
EvalPlanQualStart() failed to propagate es_partition_directory into
the child EState used for EPQ rechecks. When execution time partition
pruning ran during the EPQ scan, executor code dereferenced a NULL
partition directory and crashed.
Previously, propagating es_partition_directory into the EPQ EState was
unnecessary because CreatePartitionPruneState(), which sets it on
demand, also initialized the exec-pruning context. After commit d47cbf474, CreatePartitionPruneState() now initializes only the init-
time pruning context, leaving exec-pruning context initialization to
ExecInitNode(). Since EvalPlanQualStart() runs only ExecInitNode() and
not CreatePartitionPruneState(), it can encounter a NULL
es_partition_directory. Other executor fields initialized during
CreatePartitionPruneState() are already copied into the child EState
thanks to commit 8741e48e5d, but es_partition_directory was missed.
Fix by borrowing the parent estate's es_partition_directory in
EvalPlanQualStart(), and by clearing that field in EvalPlanQualEnd()
so the parent remains responsible for freeing the directory.
Add an isolation test permutation that triggers EPQ with execution-
time partition pruning, the case that reproduces this crash.

Fix lookup code for REINDEX INDEX.

extremely unlikely race condition involving concurrent OID reuse.
In short, if REINDEX INDEX is executed at the same time that the
index is re-created with the same name and OID but a different
parent table OID, we might lock the wrong parent table. To fix,
simply detect when this happens and emit an ERROR. Unfortunately,
we can't gracefully handle this situation because we will have
already locked the index, and we must lock the parent table before
the index to avoid deadlocks.
While at it, I've replaced all but one early return in this

habit of memmove'ing all the remaining buffered data after each read

Fortunately, AFAICT the only way to get to this problem is to

Fix poor buffering logic in pg_dump's lz4 and zstd compression code.
Both of these modules dumped each bit of output that they got from
the underlying compression library as a separate "data block" in
the emitted archive file. In the case of zstd this'd frequently
result in block sizes well under 100 bytes; lz4 is a little better
but still produces blocks around 300 bytes, at least in the test
case I tried. This bloats the archive file a little bit compared
to larger block sizes, but the real problem is that when pg_restore
has to skip each data block rather than seeking directly to some
target data, tiny block sizes are enormously inefficient.
Fix both modules so that they fill their allocated buffer reasonably
well before dumping a data block. In the case of lz4, also delete
some redundant logic that caused the lz4 frame header to be emitted
as a separate data block. (That saves little, but I see no reason
to expend extra code to get worse results.)
I fixed the "stream API" code too. In those cases, feeding small

In passing, remove unnecessary "extra paranoia" check in

Fix issue with reading zero bytes in Gzip_read.
pg_dump expects a read request of zero bytes to be a no-op; see for
example ReadStr(). Gzip_read got this wrong and falsely supposed
that the resulting gzret == 0 indicated an error. We could complicate
that error-checking logic some more, but it seems best to just fall
out immediately when passed size == 0.
This bug breaks the nominally-supported case of manually gzip'ing

Restore test coverage of LZ4Stream_gets().
In commit a45c78e32 I removed the only regression test case that
reaches this function, because it turns out that we only use it
if reading an LZ4-compressed blobs.toc file in a directory dump,
and that is a state that has to be created manually. That seems
like a bad thing to not test, not so much for LZ4Stream_gets()
itself as because it means the squirrely eol_flag logic in
LZ4Stream_read_internal() is not tested.
The reason for the change was that I thought the lz4 program did not
have any way to perform compression without explicit specification
of the output file name. However, it turns out that the syntax
synopsis in its man page is a lie, and if you read enough of the
man page you find out that with "-m" it will do what's needful.

Stop creating constraints during DETACH CONCURRENTLY
Commit 71f4c8c6f74b (which implemented DETACH CONCURRENTLY) added code
to create a separate table constraint when a table is detached
concurrently, identical to the partition constraint, on the theory that
such a constraint was needed in case the optimizer had constructed any
query plans that depended on the constraint being there. However, that
theory was apparently bogus because any such plans would be invalidated.
For hash partitioning, those constraints are problematic, because their
expressions reference the OID of the parent partitioned table, to which
the detached table is no longer related; this causes all sorts of
problems (such as inability of restoring a pg_dump of that table, and
the table no longer working properly if the partitioned table is later
dropped).
We'd like to get rid of all those constraints. In fact, for branch
master, do that -- no longer create any substitute constraints.
However, out of fear that some users might somehow depend on these
constraints for other partitioning strategies, for stable branches
(back to 14, which added DETACH CONCURRENTLY), only do it for hash
partitioning.
(If you repeatedly DETACH CONCURRENTLY and then ATTACH a partition, then
with this constraint addition you don't need to scan the table in the
ATTACH step, which presumably is good. But if users really valued this
feature, they would have requested that it worked for non-concurrent
DETACH also.)

Remove state.tmp when failing to save a replication slot
An error happening while a slot data is saved on disk in
SaveSlotToPath() could cause a state.tmp file (temporary file holding
the slot state data, renamed to its permanent name at the end of the
function) to remain around after it has been created. This temporary
file is created with O_EXCL, meaning that if an existing state.tmp is
found, its creation would fail. This would prevent the slot data to be
saved, requiring a manual intervention to remove state.tmp before being
able to save again a slot. Possible scenarios where this temporary file
could remain on disk is for example a ENOSPC case (no disk space) while
writing, syncing or renaming it. The bug reports point to a write
failure as the principal cause of the problems.
Using O_TRUNC has been argued back in 2019 as a potential solution to
discard any temporary file that could exist. This solution was rejected
as O_EXCL can also act as a safety measure when saving the slot state,
crash recovery offering cleanup guarantees post-crash. This commit uses
the alternative approach that has been suggested by Andres Freund back
in 2019. When the temporary state file cannot be written, synced,
closed or renamed (note: not when created!), an unlink() is used to
remove the temporary state file while holding the in-progress I/O
LWLock, so as any follow-up attempts to save a slot's data would not
choke on an existing file that remained around because of a previous
failure.
This problem has been reported a few times across the years, going back
to 2019, but for some reason I have never come back to do something
about it and it has been forgotten. A recent report has reminded me
that this was still a problem.

Clean up memory leakage that occurs in context callback functions.
An error context callback function might leak some memory into
ErrorContext, since those functions are run with ErrorContext as
current context. In the case where the elevel is ERROR, this is
no problem since the code level that catches the error should do
FlushErrorState to clean up, and that will reset ErrorContext.
However, if the elevel is less than ERROR then no such cleanup occurs.
In principle, repeated leaks while emitting log messages or client
notices could accumulate arbitrarily much leaked data, if no ERROR
occurs in the session.
To fix, let errfinish() perform an ErrorContext reset if it is
at the outermost error nesting level. (If it isn't, we'll delay
cleanup until the outermost nesting level is exited.)
The only actual leakage of this sort that I've been able to observe
within our regression tests was recently introduced by commit f727b63e8. While it seems plausible that there are other such
leaks not reached in the regression tests, the lack of field
reports suggests that they're not a big problem. Accordingly,

bufmgr: Don't lock buffer header in StrategyGetBuffer()
Previously StrategyGetBuffer() acquired the buffer header spinlock for every
buffer, whether it was reusable or not. If reusable, it'd be returned, with
the lock held, to GetVictimBuffer(), which then would pin the buffer with
PinBuffer_Locked(). That's somewhat violating the spirit of the guidelines for
holding spinlocks (i.e. that they are only held for a few lines of consecutive
code) and necessitates using PinBuffer_Locked(), which scales worse than
PinBuffer() due to holding the spinlock. This alone makes it worth changing
the code.
However, the main reason to change this is that a future commit will make
PinBuffer_Locked() slower (due to making UnlockBufHdr() slower), to gain
scalability for the much more common case of pinning a pre-existing buffer. By
pinning the buffer with a single atomic operation, iff the buffer is reusable,
we avoid any potential regression for miss-heavy workloads. There strictly are
fewer atomic operations for each potential buffer after this change.
The price for this improvement is that freelist.c needs two CAS loops and
needs to be able to set up the resource accounting for pinned buffers. The
latter is achieved by exposing a new function for that purpose from bufmgr.c,
that seems better than exposing the entire private refcount infrastructure.
