2025-10-15Fix EvalPlanQual handling of foreign/custom joins in ExecScanFetch.Etsuro Fujita
If inside an EPQ recheck, ExecScanFetch would run the recheck method function for foreign/custom joins even if they aren't descendant nodes in the EPQ recheck plan tree, which is problematic at least in the foreign-join case, because such a foreign join isn't guaranteed to have an alternative local-join plan required for running the recheck method function; in the postgres_fdw case this could lead to a segmentation fault or an assert failure in an assert-enabled build when running the recheck method function. Even if inside an EPQ recheck, any scan nodes that aren't descendant ones in the EPQ recheck plan tree should be normally processed by using the access method function; fix by modifying ExecScanFetch so that if inside an EPQ recheck, it runs the recheck method function for foreign/custom joins that are descendant nodes in the EPQ recheck plan tree as before and runs the access method function for foreign/custom joins that aren't. This fix also adds to postgres_fdw an isolation test for an EPQ recheck that caused issues stated above. Oversight in commit 385f337c9.

2025-01-21Refactor ExecScan() to allow inlining of its core logicAmit Langote
This commit refactors ExecScan() by moving its tuple-fetching, filtering, and projection logic into an inline-able function, ExecScanExtended(), defined in src/include/executor/execScan.h. ExecScanExtended() accepts parameters for EvalPlanQual state, qualifiers (ExprState), and projection (ProjectionInfo). Specialized variants of the execution function of a given Scan node (for example, ExecSeqScan() for SeqScan) can then pass const-NULL for unused parameters. This allows the compiler to inline the logic and eliminate unnecessary branches or checks. Each variant function thus contains only the necessary code, optimizing execution for scans where these features are not needed. The variant function to be used is determined in the ExecInit*() function of the node and assigned to the ExecProcNode function pointer in the node's PlanState, effectively turning runtime checks and conditional branches on the NULLness of epqstate, qual, and projInfo into static ones, provided the compiler successfully eliminates unnecessary checks from the inlined code of ExecScanExtended(). Currently, only ExecSeqScan() is modified to take advantage of this inline-ability. Other Scan nodes might benefit from such specialized variant functions but that is left as future work. Benchmarks performed by Junwang Zhao, David Rowley and myself show up to a 5% reduction in execution time for queries that rely heavily on Seq Scans. The most significant improvements were observed in scenarios where EvalPlanQual, qualifiers, and projection were not required, but other cases also benefit from reduced runtime overhead due to the inlining and removal of unnecessary code paths. The idea for this patch first came from Andres Freund in an off-list discussion. The refactoring approach implemented here is based on a proposal by David Rowley, significantly improving upon the patch I (amitlan) initially proposed.
