Subject: pgsql: Unify src/common/'s definitions of MaxAllocSize.
Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 12:19:40 +0000
Message-ID: <E1wMPbo-0002dY-0q@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)

Unify src/common/'s definitions of MaxAllocSize.

Define MaxAllocSize in src/include/common/fe_memutils.h rather
than having several copies of it in different src/common/*.c files.
This also provides an opportunity to document it better.

Back-patch of commit 11b7de4a7, needed now because assorted security
fixes are adding additional references to MaxAllocSize in frontend
code.

Backpatch-through: 14-17
Security: CVE-2026-6473

Branch
------
REL_15_STABLE
