Subject: pgsql: Fix sequence synchronization failure on a concurrent refresh.
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 06:09:13 +0000
Message-ID: <E1x9GAL-00000000sAK-1qET@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)

Fix sequence synchronization failure on a concurrent refresh.

A sequencesync worker builds its list of sequences and then processes them
in batches. If ALTER SUBSCRIPTION ... REFRESH PUBLICATION removes one of
those sequences in the meantime, the worker updated the local sequence and
then failed while marking it READY, because its catalog row was gone. That
rolled back the batch, and with disable_on_error the entire subscription
was disabled.

The worker now checks that the sequence is still part of the subscription
before updating it, and skips it if not. The check is done under the lock
on the subscription that the refresh also takes, so the row cannot go away
in between.
