I thought we already fixed that last month, but that was pg_partition_tree().

Thanks for writing the patch.

 	/* Fetch the top-most parent */
 	ancestors = get_partition_ancestors(relid);

Maybe, the patch should update this comment to say "Fetch the list of
ancestors".

+
+	/*

+	 * return itself.
+	 */

What does "listed partition" mean?  Maybe, you mean "If the input
relation..."?  How about write this as:

If the input relation is itself the top-most parent, just return itself.

Regards,
Amit
