Our policy since commit ab77a5a45 has been that a plan node having any initplans is automatically not parallel-safe. (This could be relaxed, but not today.) clean_up_removed_plan_level neglected this, and could attach initplans to a parallel-safe child plan node without clearing the plan's parallel-safe flag. That could lead to "subplan was not initialized" errors at runtime, in case an initplan referenced another one and only the referencing one got transmitted to parallel workers. The fix in clean_up_removed_plan_level is trivial enough. materialize_finished_plan also moves initplans from one node to another, but it's okay because it already copies the source node's parallel_safe flag. The other place that does this kind of thing is standard_planner's hack to inject a top-level Gather when debug_parallel_query is active. But that's actually dead code given that we're correctly enforcing the "initplans aren't parallel safe" rule, so just replace it with an Assert that there are no initplans. Also improve some related comments. Normally we'd add a regression test case for this sort of bug. The mistake itself is already reached by existing tests, but there is accidentally no visible problem. The only known test case that creates an actual failure seems too indirect and fragile to justify keeping it as a regression test (not least because it fails to fail in v11, though the bug is clearly present there too). Per report from Justin Pryzby. Back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/ZDVt6MaNWkRDO1LQ@telsasoft.com
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: https://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.
