Subject: [PATCH v3 3/4] Add invalidation-based retry loop for Alter/Drop Subscription
Date: Fri, 3 Jul 2026 14:03:13 +0000
Following the approach of RangeVarGetRelidExtended() for relations, add a
retry loop that includes name resolution, ownership check, and lock
acquisition in AlterSubscription() and DropSubscription().
The loop records SharedInvalidMessageCounter, resolves the subscription name
to an OID, checks ownership, then locks the subscription. If the invalidation
counter changed (indicating concurrent DDL), we save the current OID and
retry. On the next iteration, if the name still resolves to the same OID,
we're done (already holding the correct lock). If it resolves to a different
OID, we release the old lock and acquire the new one.
This mirrors RangeVarGetRelidExtended()'s behavior: the lock is kept across
retries to avoid a window where another session could have committed concurrent
DDL modifying the ownership and/or the name resolution.
