Backport 1/1 commits from #120451 on behalf of @DrewKimball.

/cc @cockroachdb/release


Due to #97432, it is possible for subquery-hoisting decorrelation rules to hoist a volatile subquery from a CASE expression. This can cause a query to display side effects which were meant to be gated behind a conditional expression, or else were meant to occur in a different order. This is a problem for PL/pgSQL, which relies on expressions being executed in a certain order. While #115826 added a Barrier expression to prevent rules from changing execution order, this doesn't work for hoisting rules that traverse an entire operator subtree, instead of relying on match-and-replace patterns.

This commit makes a targeted fix for PL/pgSQL routines by preventing subquery-hoisting rules from matching if a scalar expression contains a BarrierExpr or a UDFCall with TailCall = true. Either of these conditions indicates that changing execution order would cause incorrect results.

Fixes #120439

Release note (bug fix): Fixed a bug introduced in v23.2 that could cause a PL/pgSQL routine to return incorrect results when there was at least one parameter, and an IF statement with one leak-proof branch, and one branch with side effects.

Thanks for opening a backport.

Please check the backport criteria before merging:

  • Backports should only be created for serious
    issues
    or test-only changes.
  • Backports should not break backwards-compatibility.
  • Backports should change as little code as possible.
  • Backports should not change on-disk formats or node communication protocols.
  • Backports should not add new functionality (except as defined
    here).
  • Backports must not add, edit, or otherwise modify cluster versions; or add version gates.
  • All backports must be reviewed by the owning areas TL and one additional
    TL. For more information as to how that review should be conducted, please consult the backport
    policy
    .
If your backport adds new functionality, please ensure that the following additional criteria are satisfied:
  • There is a high priority need for the functionality that cannot wait until the next release and is difficult to address in another way.
  • The new functionality is additive-only and only runs for clusters which have specifically “opted in” to it (e.g. by a cluster setting).
  • New code is protected by a conditional check that is trivial to verify and ensures that it only runs for opt-in clusters. State changes must be further protected such that nodes running old binaries will not be negatively impacted by the new state (with a mixed version test added).
  • The PM and TL on the team that owns the changed code have signed off that the change obeys the above rules.
  • Your backport must be accompanied by a post to the appropriate Slack
    channel (#db-backports-point-releases or #db-backports-XX-X-release) for awareness and discussion.

Also, please add a brief release justification to the body of your PR to justify this
backport.

Due to #97432, it is possible for subquery-hoisting decorrelation rules
to hoist a volatile subquery from a CASE expression. This can cause a
query to display side effects which were meant to be gated behind a
conditional expression, or else were meant to occur in a different order.
This is a problem for PL/pgSQL, which relies on expressions being executed
in a certain order. While #115826 added a `Barrier` expression to prevent
rules from changing execution order, this doesn't work for hoisting rules
that traverse an entire operator subtree, instead of relying on
match-and-replace patterns.

This commit makes a targeted fix for PL/pgSQL routines by preventing
subquery-hoisting rules from matching if a scalar expression contains a
`BarrierExpr` or a `UDFCall` with `TailCall = true`. Either of these
conditions indicates that changing execution order would cause incorrect
results.

Fixes #120439

Release note (bug fix): Fixed a bug introduced in v23.2 that could cause
a PL/pgSQL routine to return incorrect results when there was at least
one parameter, and an `IF` statement with one leak-proof branch, and one
branch with side effects.
