* When replanning a plpgsql "simple expression", check it's still simple.Tom Lane2024-06-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous coding here assumed that we didn't need to recheck any of the querytree tests made in exec_simple_check_plan(). I think we supposed that those properties were fully determined by the syntax of the source text and hence couldn't change. That is true for most of them, but at least hasTargetSRFs and hasAggs can change by dint of forcibly dropping an originally-referenced function and recreating it with new properties. That leads to "unexpected plan node type" or similar failures. These tests are pretty cheap compared to the cost of replanning, so rather than sweat over exactly which properties need to be rechecked, let's just recheck them all. Hence, factor out those tests into a new function exec_is_simple_query(), and rearrange callers as needed. A second problem in the same area was that if we failed during replanning or during exec_save_simple_expr(), we'd potentially leave behind now-dangling pointers to the old simple expression, potentially resulting in crashes later. To fix, clear those pointers before replanning. The v12 code looks quite different in this area but still has the bug about needing to recheck query simplicity. I chose to back-patch all of the plpgsql_simple.sql test script, which formerly didn't exist in this branch. Per bug #18497 from Nikita Kalinin. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Clamp result of MultiXactMemberFreezeThresholdHeikki Linnakangas2024-06-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | The purpose of the function is to reduce the effective autovacuum_multixact_freeze_max_age if the multixact members SLRU is approaching wraparound, to make multixid freezing more aggressive.

* Fix infer_arbiter_indexes() to not assume resultRelation is 1.Tom Lane2024-06-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | infer_arbiter_indexes failed to renumber varnos in index expressions or predicates that it got from the catalogs. This escaped detection up to now because the stored varnos in such trees will be 1, and an INSERT's result relation is usually the first rangetable entry, so that that was fine. However, in cases such as inserting through an updatable view, it's not fine, leading to failure to match the expressions to the query with ensuing "there is no unique or exclusion constraint matching the ON CONFLICT specification" errors.

* Fix creation of partition descriptor during concurrent detachAlvaro Herrera2024-06-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a partition is being detached in concurrent mode, it is possible for find_inheritance_children_extended() to return that partition in the list, and immediately after that receive an invalidation message that sets its relpartbound to NULL just before we read it. (This can happen because table_open() reads invalidation messages.) Currently we raise an error ERROR: missing relpartbound for relation %u about the situation, but that's bogus because the table is no longer a partition, so we shouldn't be complaining about it. A better reaction is to retry the find_inheritance_children_extended call to get a new list, which will no longer have the partition being detached. Noticed while investigating bug #18377. Backpatch to 14, where DETACH CONCURRENTLY appeared. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/202405201616.y4ht2qe5ihoy@alvherre.pgsql
* Tighten test_predtest's input checks, and improve error messages.Tom Lane2024-06-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | test_predtest() neglected to consider the possibility that SPI_plan_get_cached_plan would return NULL.

* Reject modifying a temp table of another session with ALTER TABLE.Tom Lane2024-06-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Normally this case isn't even reachable by non-superusers, since permissions checks prevent naming such a table. However, it is possible to make it happen by altering a parent table whose child is another session's temp table. We definitely can't support any such ALTER that requires modifying the contents of such a table, since we lack access to the other session's temporary-buffer pool. But there seems no good reason to allow it even if it'd only require changing catalog contents. One reason not to allow it is that we'd rather not expose the implementation-dependent behavior of whether a specific ALTER requires touching the table contents. Another is that there may be (in future, even if not today) optimizations that assume that a session's own temp tables won't be modified by other sessions. Hence, add a RELATION_IS_OTHER_TEMP() check to all the places where ALTER TABLE currently does CheckTableNotInUse(). (I looked through all other callers of CheckTableNotInUse(), and they seem OK already.) Per bug #18492 from Alexander Lakhin. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix behavior of stable functions called from a CALL's argument list.Tom Lane2024-06-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the CALL is within an atomic context (e.g. there's an outer transaction block), _SPI_execute_plan should acquire a fresh snapshot to execute any such functions with. We failed to do that and instead passed them the Portal snapshot, which had been acquired at the start of the current SQL command. This'd lead to seeing stale values of rows modified since the start of the command. This is arguably a bug in 84f5c2908: I failed to see that "are we in non-atomic mode" needs to be defined the same way as it is further down in _SPI_execute_plan, i.e. check !_SPI_current->atomic not just options->allow_nonatomic. Alternatively the blame could be laid on plpgsql, which is unconditionally passing allow_nonatomic = true for CALL/DO even when it knows it's in an atomic context. However, fixing it in spi.c seems like a better idea since that will also fix the problem for any extensions that may have copied plpgsql's coding pattern. While here, update an obsolete comment about _SPI_execute_plan's snapshot management. Per report from Victor Yegorov. Back-patch to all supported versions.

* postgres_fdw: Refuse to send FETCH FIRST WITH TIES to remote servers.Etsuro Fujita2024-06-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, when considering LIMIT pushdown, postgres_fdw failed to check whether the query has this clause, which led to pushing false LIMIT clauses, causing incorrect results. This clause has been supported since v13, so we need to do a remote-version check before deciding that it will be safe to push such a clause, but we do not currently have a way to do the check (without accessing the remote server); disable pushing such a clause for now. Oversight in commit 357889eb1. Back-patch to v13, where that commit added the support. Per bug #18467 from Onder Kalaci.

* Fix failure with SQL-procedure polymorphic output arguments in v12.Tom Lane2024-06-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before the v13-era commit 913bbd88d, check_sql_fn_retval fails to resolve polymorphic output types and then just throws up its hands and assumes the check will be made at runtime. I think that's true for ordinary functions returning RECORD, but it doesn't happen in CALL, potentially resulting in crashes if the actual output of the SQL procedure's SELECT doesn't match the type inferred from polymorphism. With a little bit of rearrangement, we can use get_call_result_type instead of get_func_result_type and thereby infer the correct types. I'm still unwilling to back-patch all of 913bbd88d, so if the types don't match you'll get an error rather than perhaps silently inserting a cast as v13 and later can. That's consistent with prior behavior though, so it seems fine. Prior to 70ffb27b2, you'd typically get other errors due to other shortcomings of CALL's management of polymorphism. Nonetheless, this is an independent bug. Although there is no bug in v13 and up, it seems prudent to add the test case for this to the newer branches too. It's clearly an under-tested area. Per report from Andrew Bille. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAJnzarw9EeWHAQRm76dXd=7j+rgw6ERqC=nCay8jeFqTwKwhqQ@mail.gmail.com

* Fix pl/tcl's handling of errors from Tcl_ListObjGetElements().Tom Lane2024-06-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In a procedure or function returning tuple, we use that function to parse the Tcl script's result, which is supposed to be a Tcl list. If it isn't, you get an error. Commit 26abb50c4 incautiously supposed that we could use throw_tcl_error() to report such an error. That doesn't actually work, because low-level functions like Tcl_ListObjGetElements() don't fill Tcl's errorInfo variable. The result is either a null-pointer-dereference crash or emission of misleading context information describing the previous Tcl error. Back off to just reporting the interpreter's result string, and improve throw_tcl_error()'s comment to explain when to use it. Also, although the similar code in pltcl_trigger_handler() avoided this mistake, it was using a fairly confusing wording of the error message. Improve that while we're here. Per report from A.

* Remove race conditions between ECPGdebug() and ecpg_log().Tom Lane2024-05-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Coverity complains that ECPGdebug is accessing debugstream without holding debug_mutex, which is a fair complaint: we should take debug_mutex while changing the settings ecpg_log looks at. In some branches it also complains about unlocked use of simple_debug. I think it's intentional and safe to have a quick unlocked check of simple_debug at the start of ecpg_log, since that early exit will always be taken in non-debug cases. But we should recheck simple_debug after acquiring the mutex. In the worst case, calling ECPGdebug concurrently with ecpg_log in another thread could result in a null-pointer dereference due to debugstream transiently being NULL while simple_debug isn't 0. This is largely hypothetical, since it's unlikely anybody uses ECPGdebug() at all in the field, and our own regression tests don't seem to be hitting the theoretical race conditions either. Still, if we're going to the trouble of having mutexes here, we ought to be using them in a way that's actually safe not just almost safe. Hence, back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix handling of extended expression statistics in CREATE TABLE LIKE.Tom Lane2024-05-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | transformTableLikeClause believed that it could process extended statistics immediately because "the representation of CreateStatsStmt doesn't depend on column numbers". That was true when extended stats were first introduced, but it was falsified by the addition of extended stats on expressions: the parsed expression tree is fed forward by the LIKE option, and that will contain Vars. So if the new table doesn't have attnums identical to the old one's (typically because there are some dropped columns in the old one), that doesn't work. The CREATE goes through, but it emits invalid statistics objects that will cause problems later. Fortunately, we already have logic that can adapt expression trees to the possibly-new column numbering. To use it, we have to delay processing of CREATE_TABLE_LIKE_STATISTICS into expandTableLikeClause, just as for other LIKE options that involve expressions. Per bug #18468 from Alexander Lakhin. Back-patch to v14 where extended statistics on expressions were added. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/18468-f5add190e3fa5902@postgresql.org
* Account for optimized MinMax aggregates during SS_finalize_plan.Tom Lane2024-05-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We are capable of optimizing MIN() and MAX() aggregates on indexed columns into subqueries that exploit the index, rather than the normal thing of scanning the whole table. When we do this, we replace the Aggref node(s) with Params referencing subquery outputs. Such Params really ought to be included in the per-plan-node extParam/allParam sets computed by SS_finalize_plan. However, we've never done so up to now because of an ancient implementation choice to perform that substitution during set_plan_references, which runs after SS_finalize_plan, so that SS_finalize_plan never sees these Params. The cleanest fix would be to perform a separate tree walk to do these substitutions before SS_finalize_plan runs. That seems unattractive, first because a whole-tree mutation pass is expensive, and second because we lack infrastructure for visiting expression subtrees in a Plan tree, so that we'd need a new function knowing as much as SS_finalize_plan knows about that. I also considered swapping the order of SS_finalize_plan and set_plan_references, but that fell foul of various assumptions that seem tricky to fix. So the approach adopted here is to teach SS_finalize_plan itself to check for such Aggrefs. I refactored things a bit in setrefs.c to avoid having three copies of the code that does that. Back-patch of v17 commits d0d44049d and 779ac2c74. When d0d44049d went in, there was no evidence that it was fixing a reachable bug, so I refrained from back-patching. Now we have such evidence.

* Fix handling of polymorphic output arguments for procedures.Tom Lane2024-05-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most of the infrastructure for procedure arguments was already okay with polymorphic output arguments, but it turns out that CallStmtResultDesc() was a few bricks shy of a load here. It thought all it needed to do was call build_function_result_tupdesc_t, but that function specifically disclaims responsibility for resolving polymorphic arguments. Failing to handle that doesn't seem to be a problem for CALL in plpgsql, but CALL from plain SQL would get errors like "cannot display a value of type anyelement", or even crash outright. In v14 and later we can simply examine the exposed types of the CallStmt.outargs nodes to get the right type OIDs. But it's a lot more complicated to fix in v12/v13, because those versions don't have CallStmt.outargs, nor do they do expand_function_arguments until ExecuteCallStmt runs. We have to duplicatively run expand_function_arguments, and then re-determine which elements of the args list are output arguments. Per bug #18463 from Drew Kimball.

* Fix pg_sequence_last_value() for unlogged sequences on standbys.Nathan Bossart2024-05-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Presently, when this function is called for an unlogged sequence on a standby server, it will error out with a message like ERROR: could not open file "base/5/16388": No such file or directory Since the pg_sequences system view uses pg_sequence_last_value(), it can error similarly. To fix, modify the function to return NULL for unlogged sequences on standby servers. Since this bug is present on all versions since v15, this approach is preferable to making the ERROR nicer because we need to repair the pg_sequences view without modifying its definition on released versions. For consistency, this commit also modifies the function to return NULL for other sessions' temporary sequences. The pg_sequences view already appropriately filters out such sequences, so there's no bug there, but we might as well offer some defense in case someone invokes this function directly. Unlogged sequences were first introduced in v15, but temporary sequences are much older, so while the fix for unlogged sequences is only back-patched to v15, the temporary sequence portion is back-patched to all supported versions. We could also remove the privilege check in the pg_sequences view definition in v18 if we modify this function to return NULL for sequences for which the current user lacks privileges, but that is left as a future exercise for when v18 development begins.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we recursed to a new call of the same function, with a different coldeflist (AS clause), it would fail because the inner call would overwrite the outer call's idea of what to return.

We can fix it at basically zero cost by doing the computation at the end of each call instead of the start.

* Fix overread in JSON parsing errors for incomplete byte sequencesMichael Paquier2024-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | json_lex_string() relies on pg_encoding_mblen_bounded() to point to the end of a JSON string when generating an error message, and the input it uses is not guaranteed to be null-terminated. It was possible to walk off the end of the input buffer by a few bytes when the last bytes consist of an incomplete multi-byte sequence, as token_terminator would point to a location defined by pg_encoding_mblen_bounded() rather than the end of the input. This commit switches token_terminator so as the error uses data up to the end of the JSON input. More work should be done so as this code could rely on an equivalent of report_invalid_encoding() so as incorrect byte sequences can show in error messages in a readable form. This requires work for at least two cases in the JSON parsing API: an incomplete token and an invalid escape sequence. A more complete solution may be too invasive for a backpatch, so this is left as a future improvement, taking care of the overread first. A test is added on HEAD as test_json_parser makes this issue straight-forward to check. Note that pg_encoding_mblen_bounded() no longer has any callers. This will be removed on HEAD with a separate commit, as this is proving to encourage unsafe coding.

* Don't corrupt plpython's "TD" dictionary in a recursive trigger call.Tom Lane2024-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a plpython-language trigger caused another one to be invoked, the "TD" dictionary created for the inner one would overwrite the outer one's "TD" dictionary. This is more or less the same problem that 1d2fe56e4 fixed for ordinary functions in plpython, so fix it the same way, by saving and restoring "TD" during a recursive invocation. This fix makes an ABI-incompatible change in struct PLySavedArgs. I'm not too worried about that because it seems highly unlikely that any extension is messing with those structs. We could imagine doing something weird to preserve nominal ABI compatibility in the back branches, like keeping the saved TD object in an extra element of namedargs[]. However, that would only be very nominal compatibility: if anything *is* touching PLySavedArgs, it would likely do the wrong thing due to not knowing about the additional value. So I judge it not worth the ugliness to do something different there. (I also changed struct PLyProcedure, but its added field fits into formerly-padding space, so that should be safe.)

* Disallow converting a table to a view within an outer SQL command.Tom Lane2024-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have long disallowed all forms of ALTER TABLE if the table is already opened by some outer SQL command in the same session. This has the same purpose as obtaining AccessExclusiveLock, but since a session's own locks don't conflict the lock only blocks use of the table by other sessions, not our own. Without this check, the ALTER might confuse the outer SQL command since any previous inspection of the table would potentially become invalid. However, the RelisBecomingView code path in DefineQueryRewrite never got that memo, and assumed that AccessExclusiveLock is sufficient for performing something morally equivalent to a rather invasive ALTER TABLE. Unsurprisingly, this can confuse an outer command that is trying to do something with the table. This was submitted as a security issue, but the security team has been unable to identify any consequence worse than a null pointer dereference (from trying to access rd_tableam methods that the relation no longer has). Therefore, in accordance with our usual policy, it's not security material and should just be fixed as a routine bug. Fix by disallowing the operation if the table is open locally, exactly as ALTER TABLE does it. Per an anonymous security researcher, via Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik. Patch v12-v15 only. In v16 and later, we removed this code altogether (cf. commit b23cd185f), so that there's no issue.
* Close race condition between datfrozen and relfrozen updates.Noah Misch2024-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | vac_update_datfrozenxid() did multiple loads of relfrozenxid and relminmxid from buffer memory, and it assumed each would get the same value. Not so if a concurrent vac_update_relstats() did an inplace update. Commit 2d2e40e3befd8b9e0d2757554537345b15fa6ea2 fixed the same kind of bug in vac_truncate_clog(). Today's bug could cause the rel-level field and XIDs in the rel's rows to precede the db-level field. A cluster having such values should VACUUM affected tables.

* Throw a more on-point error for functions depending on columns.Tom Lane2024-04-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ALTER COLUMN TYPE wasn't expecting to find any pg_proc objects depending on the column whose type is to be altered. That indeed wasn't possible when this code was written, but it is possible since we introduced new-style SQL function bodies. It's about as difficult to fix this case as it is to fix dependent views, and we've been punting on those for years, so I don't feel too awful about punting for functions too. (I sure wouldn't risk back-patching such code.) So just throw a more user-facing error. Also, adjust some of the existing comments to reflect that these are all pretty much the same issue. (This patch also fixes it so we will tolerate finding such a dependency during ALTER COLUMN SET EXPRESSION; in that, we need not do anything to the function, so no error is wanted. That problem is new in HEAD.) Per bug #18449 from Alexander Lakhin. Back-patch to v14 where we added new-style SQL functions. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/18449-f8248467aaa294d5@postgresql.org
* Detect more overflows in timestamp[tz]_pl_interval.Tom Lane2024-04-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In commit 25cd2d640 I (tgl) opined that "The additions of the months and microseconds fields could also overflow, of course. However, I believe we need no additional checks there; the existing range checks should catch such cases". This is demonstrably wrong however for the microseconds field, and given that discovery it seems prudent to be paranoid about the months addition as well. Report and patch by Joseph Koshakow. As before, back-patch to all supported branches. (However, the test case doesn't work before v15 because we didn't allow wider-than-int32 numbers in interval literals. A variant test could probably be built that fits within that restriction, but it didn't seem worth the trouble.)

* Make postgres_fdw request remote time zone 'GMT' not 'UTC'.Tom Lane2024-04-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This should have the same results for all practical purposes. The advantage of selecting 'GMT' is that it's guaranteed to work even when the remote system's timezone database is missing entries, because pg_tzset() hard-wires handling of that, at least in 9.2 and later. (It seems like it would be a good idea to similarly hard-wire correct handling of 'UTC', but that'll be a little more invasive than I want to consider back-patching. Leave that for another day when we're not in feature freeze.) Per trouble report from Adnan Dautovic. Back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix assorted bugs in ecpg's macro mechanism.Tom Lane2024-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code associated with EXEC SQL DEFINE was unreadable and full of bugs, notably: * It'd attempt to free a non-malloced string if the ecpg program tries to redefine a macro that was defined on the command line. * Possible memory stomp if user writes "-D=foo". * Undef'ing or redefining a macro defined on the command line would change the state visible to the next file, when multiple files are specified on the command line. (While possibly that could have been an intentional choice, the code clearly intends to revert to the original macro state; it's just failing to consider this interaction.) * Missing "break" in defining a new macro meant that redefinition of an existing name would cause an extra entry to be added to the definition list. While not immediately harmful, a subsequent undef would result in the prior entry becoming visible again. * The interactions with input buffering are subtle and were entirely undocumented. It's not that surprising that we hadn't noticed these bugs, because there was no test coverage at all of either the -D command line switch or multiple input files. This patch adds such coverage (in a rather hacky way I guess). In addition to the code bugs, the user documentation was confused about whether the -D switch defines a C macro or an ecpg one, and it failed to mention that you can write "-Dsymbol=value". These problems are old, so back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/998011.1713217712@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Fix generation of EC join conditions at the wrong plan level.Tom Lane2024-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | get_baserel_parampathinfo previously assumed without checking that the results of generate_join_implied_equalities "necessarily satisfy join_clause_is_movable_into". This turns out to be wrong in the presence of outer joins, because the generated clauses could include Vars that mustn't be evaluated below a relevant outer join. That led to applying clauses at the wrong plan level and possibly getting incorrect query results. We must check each clause's nullable_relids, and really the right thing to do is test join_clause_is_movable_into. However, trying to fix it that way exposes an oversight in equivclass.c: it wasn't careful about marking join clauses for appendrel children with the correct clause_relids. That caused the modified get_baserel_parampathinfo code to reject some clauses it still needs to accept. (See parallel commit for HEAD/v16 for more commentary about that.) Per bug #18429 from Benoît Ryder. This misbehavior existed for a long time before commit 2489d76c4, so patch v12-v15 this way. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/18429-8982d4a348cc86c6@postgresql.org
* xml2: Replace deprecated routines with recommended onesMichael Paquier2024-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some functions are used in the tree and are currently marked as deprecated by upstream. This commit refreshes the code to use the recommended functions, leading to the following changes: - xmlSubstituteEntitiesDefault() is gone, and needs to be replaced with XML_PARSE_NOENT for the paths doing the parsing. - xmlParseMemory() -> xmlReadMemory(). These functions, as well as more functions setting global states, have been officially marked as deprecated by upstream in August 2022. Their replacements exist since the 2001-ish area, as far as I have checked, so that should be safe. This has been originally applied as 65c5864d7fac without a backpatch, and this has come up as well when working on 400928b83. Per request from Tom Lane, for new buildfarm member indri that is able to see deprecation warnings with xmlSubstituteEntitiesDefault() in 16 and older stable branches.

* Fix type-checking of RECORD-returning functions in FROM, redux.Tom Lane2024-04-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 2ed8f9a01 intended to institute a policy that if a RangeTblFunction has a coldeflist, then the function return type is certainly RECORD, and we should use the coldeflist as the source of truth about what the columns of the record type are. When the original function has been folded to a constant, inspection of the constant might give a different answer. This situation will lead to a tuple-type-mismatch error at execution, but up until that point we need to consistently believe the coldeflist, or we'll have problems from different bits of code reaching different conclusions. expandRTE didn't get that memo though, and would try to produce a tupdesc based on the constant in this situation, leading to an assertion failure. (Desultory testing suggests that non-assert builds often manage to give the expected error, although I also saw a "cache lookup failed for type 0" error, and it seems at least possible that a crash could happen.) Some other callers of get_expr_result_type and get_expr_result_tupdesc were also being incautious about this. While none of them seem to have actual bugs, they're working harder than necessary in this case, besides which it seems safest to have an explicit policy of not using those functions on an RTE with a coldeflist. Adjust the code accordingly, and add commentary to funcapi.c about this policy. Also fix an obsolete comment that claimed "get_expr_result_type() doesn't know how to extract type info from a RECORD constant". That hasn't been true since commit d57534740. Per bug #18422 from Alexander Lakhin. As with the previous commit, back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/18422-89ca86c8eac5246d@postgresql.org
* Update nbits_set in brin_bloom_unionTomas Vondra2024-04-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Properly update the number of bits set in the bitmap after merging the filters in brin_bloom_union. This is mostly harmless, as the counter is used only in the output function, which means pageinspect may show incorrect information about the BRIN summary. The counter does not affect correctness. Discovered while adding a regression test comparing indexes built with and without parallelism. The parallel index builds exercise the union procedure when merging results from workers, which is otherwise very hard to do in a test. Which is why this went unnoticed until now.
