Add pg_plan_advice contrib module.

future planning cycles, it will force those key decisions to be made in
the same way. Not all planner decisions can be controlled using advice;
for example, decisions about how to perform aggregation are currently
out of scope, as is choice of sort order. Plan advice can also be edited
by the user, or even written from scratch in simple cases, making it
possible to generate outcomes that the planner would not have produced.
Partial advice can be provided to control some planner outcomes but not
others.
Currently, plan advice is focused only on specific outcomes, such as
the choice to use a sequential scan for a particular relation, and not
on estimates that might contribute to those outcomes, such as a
possibly-incorrect selectivity estimate. While it would be useful to
users to be able to provide plan advice that affects selectivity
estimates or other aspects of costing, that is out of scope for this

Convert NOT IN sublinks to anti-joins when safe
The planner has historically been unable to convert "x NOT IN (SELECT
y ...)" sublinks into anti-joins. This is because standard SQL
semantics for NOT IN require that if the comparison "x = y" returns
NULL, the "NOT IN" expression evaluates to NULL (effectively false),
causing the row to be discarded. In contrast, an anti-join preserves
the row if no match is found. Due to this semantic mismatch regarding
NULL handling, the conversion was previously considered unsafe.
However, if we can prove that neither side of the comparison can yield
NULL values, and further that the operator itself cannot return NULL
for non-null inputs, the behavior of NOT IN and anti-join becomes
identical. Enabling this conversion allows the planner to treat the
sublink as a first-class relation rather than an opaque SubPlan
filter. This unlocks global join ordering optimization and permits
the selection of the most efficient join algorithm based on cost,
often yielding significant performance improvements for large
datasets.
This patch verifies that neither side of the comparison can be NULL
and that the operator is safe regarding NULL results before performing
the conversion.
To verify operator safety, we require that the operator be a member of
a B-tree or Hash operator family. This serves as a proxy for standard
boolean behavior, ensuring the operator does not return NULL on valid
non-null inputs, as doing so would break index integrity.
For operand non-nullability, this patch makes use of several existing
mechanisms. It leverages the outer-join-aware-Var infrastructure to
verify that a Var does not come from the nullable side of an outer
join, and consults the NOT-NULL-attnums hash table to efficiently
verify schema-level NOT NULL constraints. Additionally, it employs
find_nonnullable_vars to identify Vars forced non-nullable by qual
clauses, and expr_is_nonnullable to deduce non-nullability for other
expression types.
The logic for verifying the non-nullability of the subquery outputs
was adapted from prior work by David Rowley and Tom Lane.

Require share-exclusive lock to set hint bits and to flush
At the moment hint bits can be set with just a share lock on a page (and,
until
45f658dacb9, in one case even without any lock). Because of this we need
to copy pages while writing them out, as otherwise the checksum could be
corrupted.
The need to copy the page is problematic to implement AIO writes:
1) Instead of just needing a single buffer for a copied page we need one for
each page that's potentially undergoing I/O
2) To be able to use the "worker" AIO implementation the copied page needs to
reside in shared memory
It also causes problems for using unbuffered/direct-IO, independent of AIO:
Some filesystems, raid implementations, ... do not tolerate the data being
written out to change during the write. E.g. they may compute internal
checksums that can be invalidated by concurrent modifications, leading e.g. to
filesystem errors (as the case with btrfs).
It also just is plain odd to allow modifications of buffers that are just
share locked.
To address these issues, this commit changes the rules so that modifications
to pages are not allowed anymore while holding a share lock. Instead the new
share-exclusive lock (introduced in
fcb9c977aa5) allows at most one backend to
modify a buffer while other backends have the same page share locked. An
existing share-lock can be upgraded to a share-exclusive lock, if there are no
conflicting locks. For that BufferBeginSetHintBits()/BufferFinishSetHintBits()
and BufferSetHintBits16() have been introduced.
To prevent hint bits from being set while the buffer is being written out,
writing out buffers now requires a share-exclusive lock.
The use of share-exclusive to gate setting hint bits means that from now on
only one backend can set hint bits at a time. To allow multiple backends to
set hint bits would require more complicated locking: For setting hint bits
we'd need to store the count of backends currently setting hint bits and we
would need another lock-level for I/O conflicting with the lock-level to set
hint bits. Given that the share-exclusive lock for setting hint bits is only
held for a short time, that backends would often just set the same hint bits
and that the cost of occasionally not setting hint bits in hotly accessed
pages is fairly low, this seems like an acceptable tradeoff.
The biggest change to adapt to this is in heapam. To avoid performance
regressions for sequential scans that need to set a lot of hint bits, we need
to amortize the cost of BufferBeginSetHintBits() for cases where hint bits are
set at a high frequency. To that end HeapTupleSatisfiesMVCCBatch() uses the
new SetHintBitsExt(), which defers BufferFinishSetHintBits() until all hint
bits on a page have been set. Conversely, to avoid regressions in cases where
we can't set hint bits in bulk (because we're looking only at individual
tuples), use BufferSetHintBits16() when setting hint bits without batching.
Several other places also need to be adapted, but those changes are
comparatively simpler.
After this we do not need to copy buffers to write them out anymore. That
change is done separately however.

Introduce the REPACK command
REPACK absorbs the functionality of VACUUM FULL and CLUSTER in a single
command. Because this functionality is completely different from
regular VACUUM, having it separate from VACUUM makes it easier for users
to understand; as for CLUSTER, the term is heavily overloaded in the
IT world and even in Postgres itself, so it's good that we can avoid it.
We retain those older commands, but de-emphasize them in the
documentation, in favor of REPACK; the difference between VACUUM FULL
and CLUSTER (namely, the fact that tuples are written in a specific
ordering) is neatly absorbed as two different modes of REPACK.
This allows us to introduce further functionality in the future that
works regardless of whether an ordering is being applied, such as (and
especially) a concurrent mode.

Allow extensions to mark an individual index as disabled.
Up until now, the only way for a loadable module to disable the use of a
particular index was to use build_simple_rel_hook (or, previous to
yesterday's commit, get_relation_info_hook) to remove it from the index
list. While that works, it has some disadvantages. First, the index
becomes invisible for all purposes, and can no longer be used for
optimizations such as self-join elimination or left join removal, which
can severely degrade the resulting plan.
Second, if the module attempts to compel the use of a certain index
by removing all other indexes from the index list and disabling
other scan types, but the planner is unable to use the chosen index
for some reason, it will fall back to a sequential scan, because that
is only disabled, whereas the other indexes are, from the planner's
point of view, completely gone. While this situation ideally shouldn't
occur, it's hard for a loadable module to be completely sure whether
the planner will view a certain index as usable for a certain query.
If it isn't, it may be better to fall back to a scan using a disabled
index rather than falling back to an also-disabled sequential scan.

Consider startup cost as a figure of merit for partial paths.
Previously, the comments stated that there was no purpose to considering
startup cost for partial paths, but this is not the case: it's perfectly
reasonable to want a fast-start path for a plan that involves a LIMIT
(perhaps over an aggregate, so that there is enough data being processed
to justify parallel query but yet we don't want all the result rows).
Accordingly, rewrite add_partial_path and add_partial_path_precheck to
consider startup costs. This also fixes an independent bug in
add_partial_path_precheck: commit
e22253467942fdb100087787c3e1e3a8620c54b2

add_partial_path_precheck do the cost comparisons in the same way as

Prevent restore of incremental backup from bloating VM fork.
When I (rhaas) wrote the WAL summarizer code, I incorrectly believed
that XLOG_SMGR_TRUNCATE truncates all forks to the same length. In
fact, what other parts of the code do is compute the truncation length
for the FSM and VM forks from the truncation length used for the main
fork. But, because I was confused, I coded the WAL summarizer to set the
limit block for the VM fork to the same value as for the main fork.
(Incremental backup always copies FSM forks in full, so there is no
similar issue in that case.)
Doing that doesn't directly cause any data corruption, as far as I can
see. However, it does create a serious risk of consuming a large amount
of extra disk space, because pg_combinebackup's reconstruct.c believes
that the reconstructed file should always be at least as long as the
limit block value. We might want to be smarter about that at some point
in the future, because it's always safe to omit all-zeroes blocks at the
end of the last segment of a relation, and doing so could save disk
space, but the current algorithm will rarely waste enough disk space to
worry about unless we believe that a relation has been truncated to a
length much longer than its actual length on disk, which is exactly what
happens as a result of the problem mentioned in the previous paragraph.
To fix, create a new visibilitymap helper function and use it to include
the right limit block in the summary files. Incremental backups taken
with existing summary files will still have this issue, but this should
improve the situation going forward.

Fix size underestimation of DSA pagemap for odd-sized segments
When make_new_segment() creates an odd-sized segment, the pagemap was
only sized based on a number of usable_pages entries, forgetting that a
segment also contains metadata pages, and that the FreePageManager uses
absolute page indices that cover the entire segment. This
miscalculation could cause accesses to pagemap entries to be out of
bounds. During subsequent reuse of the allocated segment, allocations
landing on pages with indices higher than usable_pages could cause
out-of-bounds pagemap reads and/or writes. On write, 'span' pointers
are stored into the data area, corrupting the allocated objects. On
read (aka during a dsa_free), garbage is interpreted as a span pointer,
typically crashing the server in dsa_get_address().
The normal geometric path correctly sizes the pagemap for all pages in
the segment. The odd-sized path needs to do the same, but it works
forward from usable_pages rather than backward from total_size.
This commit fixes the sizing of the odd-sized case by adding pagemap
entries for the metadata pages after the initial metadata_bytes
calculation, using an integer ceiling division to compute the exact
number of additional entries needed in one go, avoiding any iteration in
the calculation.
An assertion is added in the code path for odd-sized segments, ensuring
that the pagemap includes the metadata area, and that the result is
appropriately sized.
This problem would show up depending on the size requested for the
allocation of a DSA segment. The reporter has noticed this issue when a
parallel hash join makes a DSA allocation large enough to trigger the
odd-sized segment path, but it could happen for anything that does a DSA
allocation.
A regression test is added to test_dsa, down to v17 where the test
module has been introduced. This adds a set of cheap tests to check the
problem, the new assertion being useful for this purpose. Sami has
proposed a test that took a longer time than what I have done here; the
test committed is faster and good enough to check the odd-sized
allocation path.

Refactor tests for catalog diff comparisons in stats_import.sql

the comparison of a source relation and a target relation, used for the
copy of the stats data with the restore functions:
- pg_statistic
- pg_stats_ext
- pg_stats_ext_exprs
This commit refactors the tests to reduce the bloat of such differential
queries, by creating a set of objects that make the differential queries
smaller:
- View for a base relation type.
- First function to retrieve stats data, that returns a type based on
the view previously created.
- Second function that checks the difference, based on two calls of the
first function.
This change leads to a nice reduction of stats_import.sql, with a larger

While on it, this adds some sanity checks for the three catalogs, to
warn developers that the stats import facilities may need to be updated

Fix invalid boolean if-test
We were testing the truth value of the array of booleans (which is
always true) instead of the boolean element specific to the affected
table column.
This causes a binary-upgrade dump fail to omit the name of a constraint;
that is, the correct constraint name is always printed, even when it's
not needed. The affected case is a binary-upgrade dump of a not-null
constraint in an inherited column, which must in addition have no
comment.
Another point is that in order for this to make a difference, the
constraint must have the default name in the child table. That is, the
constraint must have been created _in the parent table_ with the name
that it would have in the child table, like so:
CREATE TABLE parent (a int CONSTRAINT child_a_not_null NOT NULL);
CREATE TABLE child () INHERITS (parent);
Otherwise, the correct name must be printed by binary-upgrade pg_dump
anyway, since it wouldn't match the name produced at the parent.
Moreover, when it does hit, the pre-18-compatibility code (which has to
work with a constraint that has no name) gets involved and uses the
UPDATE on pg_constraint using the conkey instead of column name ... and
so everything ends up working correctly AFAICS.
I think it might cause a problem if the table and column names are
overly long, but I didn't want to spend time investigating further.
Still, it's wrong code, and static analyzers have twice complained about

libpq: Introduce PQAUTHDATA_OAUTH_BEARER_TOKEN_V2
For the libpq-oauth module to eventually make use of the
PGoauthBearerRequest API, it needs some additional functionality: the
derived Issuer ID for the authorization server needs to be provided, and
error messages need to be built without relying on PGconn internals.
These features seem useful for application hooks, too, so that they
don't each have to reinvent the wheel.
The original plan was for additions to PGoauthBearerRequest to be made
without a version bump to the PGauthData type. Applications would simply
check a LIBPQ_HAS_* macro at compile time to decide whether they could
use the new features. That theoretically works for applications linked
against libpq, since it's not safe to downgrade libpq from the version
you've compiled against.
We've since found that this strategy won't work for plugins, due to a
complication first noticed during the libpq-oauth module split: it's
normal for a plugin on disk to be *newer* than the libpq that's loading
it, because you might have upgraded your installation while an
application was running. (In other words, a plugin architecture causes
the compile-time and run-time dependency arrows to point in opposite
directions, so plugins won't be able to rely on the LIBPQ_HAS_* macros
to determine what APIs are available to them.)
Instead, extend the original PGoauthBearerRequest (now retroactively
referred to as "v1" in the code) with a v2 subclass-style struct. When
an application implements and accepts PQAUTHDATA_OAUTH_BEARER_TOKEN_V2,
it may safely cast the base request pointer it receives in its callbacks
to v2 in order to make use of the new functionality. libpq will query
the application for a v2 hook first, then v1 to maintain backwards
compatibility, before giving up and using the builtin flow.

Support grouping-expression references and GROUPING() in subqueries.
Until now, substitute_grouped_columns and its predecessor
check_ungrouped_columns intentionally did not cope with references
to GROUP BY expressions (anything more complex than a Var) within
subqueries of the query having GROUP BY. Because they didn't try to
match subexpressions of subqueries to the GROUP BY list, they'd drill
down to raw Vars of the grouping level and then fail with "subquery
uses ungrouped column from outer query". There have been remarkably
few complaints about this deficiency, so nobody ever did anything
about it.
The reason for not wanting to deal with it is that within a subquery,
Vars will have varlevelsup different from zero and will thus not be
equal() to the expressions seen in the outer query. We recognized
this at least as far back as
96ca8ffeb, although I think the comment
I added about it then was just documenting a pre-existing deficiency.
It looks like at the time, the solutions I considered were
(1) write a version of equal() that permits an offset in varlevelsup,
or (2) dynamically apply IncrementVarSublevelsUp at each
subexpression. (1) would require an amount of new code that seems
rather out of proportion to the benefit, while (2) would add an
exponential amount of cost to the matching process. But rethinking
it now, what seems attractive is (3) apply IncrementVarSublevelsUp to
the groupingClause list not the subexpressions, and do so only once
per subquery depth level. Then we can still use plain equal() to
check for matches, and we're not incurring cost proportional to some
power of the subquery's complexity.
This patch continues to use the old logic when the GROUP BY list is
all Vars. We could discard the special comparison logic for that and
always do it the more general way, but that would be a good deal
slower. (Micro-benchmarking just parse analysis suggests it's about
50% slower than the Vars-only path. But we've not heard complaints
about the speed of matching within the main query, so I doubt that
applying the same matching logic within subqueries will be a problem.)
The lack of complaints suggests strongly that this is a very minority
use-case, so I don't want to make the typical case slower to fix it.
While testing that, I was surprised to discover a nearby bug:
GROUPING() within a subquery fails to match GROUP BY Vars that are
join alias Vars. It tries to apply flatten_join_alias_vars to make
such cases work, but that fails to work inside a subquery because
varlevelsup is wrong. Therefore, this patch invents a new entry point
flatten_join_alias_for_parser() that allows specification of a
sublevels_up offset. (It seems cleaner to give the parser its own
entry point rather than abuse the planner's conventions even further.)
While this is pretty clearly a bug fix, I'm hesitant to take the risk
of back-patching, seeing that the existing behavior has stood for so
long with so few complaints. Maybe we can reconsider once this patch
has baked awhile in master.

Fix publisher shutdown hang caused by logical walsender busy loop.
Previously, when logical replication was running, shutting down
the publisher could cause the logical walsender to enter a busy loop
and prevent the publisher from completing shutdown.
During shutdown, the logical walsender waits for all pending WAL
to be written out. However, some WAL records could remain unflushed,
causing the walsender to wait indefinitely.
The issue occurred because the walsender used XLogBackgroundFlush() to
flush pending WAL. This function does not guarantee that all WAL is written.
For example, WAL generated by a transaction without an assigned
transaction ID that aborts might not be flushed.
This commit fixes the bug by making the logical walsender call XLogFlush()
instead, ensuring that all pending WAL is written and preventing
the busy loop during shutdown.

Add system view pg_stat_recovery
This commit introduces pg_stat_recovery, that exposes at SQL level the
state of recovery as tracked by XLogRecoveryCtlData in shared memory,
maintained by the startup process. This new view includes the following
fields, that are useful for monitoring purposes on a standby, once it
has reached a consistent state (making the execution of the SQL function
possible):
- Last-successfully replayed WAL record LSN boundaries and its timeline.
- Currently replaying WAL record end LSN and its timeline.
- Current WAL chunk start time.
- Promotion trigger state.
- Timestamp of latest processed commit/abort.
- Recovery pause state.
Some of this data can already be recovered from different system
functions, but not all of it. See pg_get_wal_replay_pause_state or
pg_last_xact_replay_timestamp. This new view offers a stronger
consistency guarantee, by grabbing the recovery state for all fields
through one spinlock acquisition.
The system view relies on a new function, called pg_stat_get_recovery().
Querying this data requires the pg_read_all_stats privilege. The view
returns no rows if the node is not in recovery.
This feature originates from a suggestion I have made while discussion
the addition of a CONNECTING state to the WAL receiver's shared memory
state, because we lacked access to some of the state data. The author
has taken the time to implement it, so thanks for that.

Simplify creation of built-in functions with non-default ACLs.
Up to now, to create such a function, one had to make a pg_proc.dat
entry and then modify it with GRANT/REVOKE commands, which we put in
system_functions.sql. That seems a little ugly though, because it
violates the idea of having a single source of truth about the initial
contents of pg_proc, and it results in leaving dead rows in the
initial contents of pg_proc.
This patch improves matters by allowing aclitemin to work during early
bootstrap, before pg_authid has been loaded. On the same principle
that we use for early access to pg_type details, put a table of known
built-in role names into bootstrap.c, and use that in bootstrap mode.
To create a built-in function with a non-default ACL, one should write
the desired ACL list in its pg_proc.dat entry, using a simplified
version of aclitemout's notation: omit the grantor (if it is the
bootstrap superuser, which it pretty much always should be) and spell
the bootstrap superuser's name as POSTGRES, similarly to the notation
used elsewhere in src/include/catalog. This results in entries like
proacl => '{POSTGRES=X,pg_monitor=X}'
which shows that we've revoked public execute permissions and instead
granted that to pg_monitor.
In addition to fixing up pg_proc.dat entries, I got rid of some
role grants that had been stuck into system_functions.sql,
and instead put them into a new file pg_auth_members.dat;
that seems like a far less random place to put the information.
The correctness of the data changes can be verified by comparing the
initial contents of pg_proc and pg_auth_members before and after.
pg_proc should match exactly, but the OID column of pg_auth_members
will probably be different because those OIDs now get assigned a
little earlier in bootstrap. (I forced a catversion bump out of
caution, but it wasn't really necessary.)

Move definition of XLogRecoveryCtlData to xlogrecovery.h
XLogRecoveryCtlData is the structure that stores the shared-memory state
of WAL recovery, including information such as promotion requests, the
timeline ID (TLI), and the LSNs of replayed records.
This refactoring is independently useful because it allows code outside
of core to access the recovery state in live. It will be used by an
upcoming patch that introduces a SQL function for querying this
information, that can be accessed on a standby once a consistent state
has been reached. This only moves code around, changing nothing

Fix rare instability in recovery TAP test 004_timeline_switch
This fixes a problem similar to
ad8c86d22cbd. In this case, the test
could fail under the following circumstances:
- The primary is stopped with teardown_node(), meaning that it may not
be able to send all its WAL records to standby_1 and standby_2.
- If standby_2 receives more records than standby_1, attempting to
reconnect standby_2 to the promoted standby_1 would fail because of a
timeline fork.
This race condition is fixed with a simple trick: instead of tearing
down the primary, it is stopped cleanly so as all the WAL records of the
primary are received and flushed by both standby_1 and standby_2. Once
we do that, there is no need for a wait_for_catchup() before stopping
the node. The test wants to check that a timeline jump can be achieved
when reconnecting a standby to a promoted standby in the same cluster,
hence an immediate stop of the primary is not required.
This failure is harder to reach than the previous instability of
009_twophase, still the buildfarm has been able to detect this failure
at least once. I have tried Alexander Lakhin's test trick with the
bgwriter and very aggressive standby snapshots, but I could not
reproduce it directly. It is reachable, as the buildfarm has proved.
Backpatch down to all supported branches, and this problem can lead to
spurious failures in the buildfarm.

Change default value of default_toast_compression to "lz4", take two
The default value for default_toast_compression was "pglz". The main
reason for this choice is that this option is always available, pglz
code being embedded in Postgres. However, it is known that LZ4 is more
efficient than pglz: less CPU required, more compression on average. As
of this commit, the default value of default_toast_compression becomes
"lz4", if available. By switching to LZ4 as the default, users should
see natural speedups on TOAST data reads and/or writes.
Support for LZ4 in TOAST compression was added in Postgres v14, or 5
releases ago. This should be long enough to consider this feature as
stable.
While at it, quotes are removed from default_toast_compression in
postgresql.conf.sample. Quotes are not required in this case. The
in-place value replacement done by initdb if the build supports LZ4
would not use them in the postgresql.conf file added to a
freshly-initialized cluster.
Note that this is a version lighter than
7c1849311e49, that included a
replacement of --with-lz4 by --without-lz4 in configure builds, forcing
a requirement for LZ4 in all environments. The buildfarm did not like
it, at all. This commit switches default_toast_compression to lz4 as
default only when --with-lz4 is defined, which should keep the buildfarm
at bay while still allowing users to benefit from LZ4 compression in
TOAST as long as the code is compiled with it.

7c1849311e49, due to the fact that more than 60% of
the buildfarm members do not have lz4 installed. As we are in the last
commit fest of the development cycle, and that it could take a couple
of weeks to stabilize things, this change is reverted for now.
This commit will be reworked in a lighter version, as
default_toast_compression's default can be changed to "lz4" without the
switch from --with-lz4 to --without-lz4. This approach will keep the
buildfarm at bay, and still allow builds to take advantage of LZ4 in
TOAST by default, as long as the code is compiled with LZ4 support.

Fix estimate_hash_bucket_stats's correction for skewed data.
The previous idea was "scale up the bucketsize estimate by the ratio
of the MCV's frequency to the average value's frequency". But we
should have been suspicious of that plan, since it frequently led to
impossible (> 1) values which we had to apply an ad-hoc clamp to.
Joel Jacobson demonstrated that it sometimes leads to making the
wrong choice about which side of the hash join should be inner.
Instead, drop the whole business of estimating average frequency, and
just clamp the bucketsize estimate to be at least the MCV's frequency.
This corresponds to the bucket size we'd get if only the MCV appears
in a bucket, and the MCV's frequency is not affected by the
WHERE-clause filters. (We were already making the latter assumption.)
This also matches the coding used since
4867d7f62 in the case where
only a default ndistinct estimate is available.
Interestingly, this change affects no existing regression test cases.
Add one to demonstrate that it helps pick the smaller table to be
hashed when the MCV is common enough to affect the results.
This leaves estimate_hash_bucket_stats not considering the effects of
null join keys at all, which we should probably improve. However,
I have a different patch in the queue that will change the executor's
handling of null join keys, so it seems appropriate to wait till
that's in before doing anything more here.

Fix rare instability in recovery TAP test 009_twophase
The phase of the test where we want to check that 2PC transactions
prepared on a primary can be committed on a promoted standby relied on
an immediate stop of the primary. This logic has a race condition: it
could be possible that some records (most likely standby snapshot
records) are generated on the primary before it finishes its shutdown,
without the promoted standby know about them. When the primary is
recycled as new standby, the test could fail because of a timeline fork
as an effect of these extra records.
This fix takes care of the instability by doing a clean stop of the
primary instead of a teardown (aka immediate stop), so as all records
generated on the primary are sent to the promoted standby and flushed
there. There is no need for a teardown of the primary in this test
scenario: the commit of 2PC transactions on a promoted standby do not
care about the state of the primary, only of the standby.
This race is very hard to hit in practice, even slow buildfarm members
like skink have a very low rate of reproduction. Alexander Lakhin has
come up with a recipe to improve the reproduction rate a lot:
- Enable -DWAL_DEBUG.
- Patch the bgwriter so as standby snapshots are generated every
milliseconds.
- Run 009_twophase tests under heavy parallelism.
With this method, the failure appears after a couple of iterations.
With the fix in place, I have been able to run more than 50 iterations
of the parallel test sequence, without seeing a failure.
Issue introduced in
30820982b295, due to a copy-pasto coming from the
surrounding tests. Thanks also to Hayato Kuroda for digging into the
details of the failure. He has proposed a fix different than the one of
this commit. Unfortunately, it relied on injection points, feature only
available in v17. The solution of this commit is simpler, and can be
