Subject: pgsql: Fix error handling in getCopyDataMessage() and pqFunctionCall3()
Date: Tue, 04 Aug 2026 08:09:59 +0000
Message-ID: <E1wrADn-000000008VV-0muk@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)

Fix error handling in getCopyDataMessage() and pqFunctionCall3()

Commit f6f0542266f0 changed getNotify(),
getParameterStatus(), and related libpq message-processing paths to
abandon the connection on out-of-memory errors.

However, getCopyDataMessage() and pqFunctionCall3() did not handle
this new fatal-error state. Both can process asynchronous
NotificationResponse and ParameterStatus messages while waiting for
other responses. If one of those messages triggered a fatal error, these
loops continued processing instead of reporting it immediately.

Fix this by checking for a saved fatal error after processing an
asynchronous message. If the connection has been abandoned, return the
appropriate error immediately instead of continuing to parse input.

Backpatch to v18, where commit f6f0542266f0 introduced this issue.
