Tom Lane 271cb7eaa7 Fix memory leakage in postgres_fdw's DirectModify code path.
postgres_fdw tries to use PG_TRY blocks to ensure that it will
eventually free the PGresult created by the remote modify command.
However, it's fundamentally impossible for this scheme to work
reliably when there's RETURNING data, because the query could fail
in between invocations of postgres_fdw's DirectModify methods.
There is at least one instance of exactly this situation in the
regression tests, and the ensuing session-lifespan leak is visible
under Valgrind.

We can improve matters by using a memory context reset callback
attached to the ExecutorState context.  That ensures that the
PGresult will be freed when the ExecutorState context is torn
down, even if control never reaches postgresEndDirectModify.

I have little faith that there aren't other potential PGresult
leakages in the backend modules that use libpq.  So I think it'd
be a good idea to apply this concept universally by creating
infrastructure that attaches a reset callback to every PGresult
generated in the backend.  However, that seems too invasive for
v18 at this point, let alone the back branches.  So for the
moment, apply this narrow fix that just makes DirectModify safe.
I have a patch in the queue for the more general idea, but it
will have to wait for v19.

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:

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
