From dbca84f04ed5debe748029699aa44fa86beca32d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Lane Date: Sat, 4 Mar 2017 16:09:33 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] In rebuild_relation(), don't access an already-closed relcache entry. This reliably fails with -DRELCACHE_FORCE_RELEASE, as reported by Andrew Dunstan, and could sometimes fail in normal operation, resulting in a wrong persistence value being used for the transient table. It's not immediately clear to me what effects that might have beyond the risk of a crash while accessing OldHeap->rd_rel->relpersistence, but it's probably not good. Bug introduced by commit f41872d0c, and made substantially worse by commit 85b506bbf, which added a second such access significantly later than the heap_close. I doubt the first reference could fail in a production scenario, but the second one definitely could.
