Richard Yen reported that pg_upgrade failed if the target cluster had force_parallel_mode = on, because binary_upgrade_create_empty_extension() is marked parallel restricted, allowing it to be executed in parallel mode, which complains because it tries to acquire an XID. In general, no function that might try to modify database data should be considered parallel safe or restricted, since execution of it might force XID acquisition. We found several other examples of this mistake. Furthermore, functions that execute user-supplied SQL queries or query fragments, or pull data from user-supplied cursors, had better be marked both volatile and parallel unsafe, because we don't know what the supplied query or cursor might try to do. There were several tsquery and XML functions that had the wrong proparallel marking for this, and some of them were even mislabeled as to volatility. All these bugs are old, dating back to 9.6 for the proparallel mistakes and much further for the provolatile mistakes. We can't force a catversion bump in the back branches, but we can at least ensure that installations initdb'd in future have the right values.

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. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
