Subject: pgsql: postgres_fdw: Fix handling of abort-cleanup-failed connections.
Date: Tue, 05 May 2026 09:58:36 +0000
Message-ID: <E1wKCY0-000RS9-0Z@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)

postgres_fdw: Fix handling of abort-cleanup-failed connections.

As connections that failed abort cleanup can't safely be further used,
if a remote query tries to get such a connection, we reject it.
Previously, this rejection involved dropping the connection if it was
open, without accounting for the possibility of open cursors using it,
causing a server crash when such an open cursor tried to use an
already-dropped connection, as a cursor-handling function
(create_cursor, fetch_more_data, or close_cursor) was called on a freed
PGconn.  To fix, delay dropping failed connections until abort cleanup
of the main transaction, to ensure open cursors using such a connection
can safely refer to the PGconn for it.

Oversight in commit 8bf58c0d9.
