Commit 27e1f1456 failed to process a pending asynchronous request made
for a given ForeignScan node in postgresReScanForeignScan() (if any) in
cases where we would only reset the next_tuple counter in that function,
contradicting the assumption that there should be no pending
asynchronous requests that have been made for async-capable subplans for
the parent Append node after ReScan. This led to an assert failure in
an assert-enabled build. I think this would also lead to mis-rewinding
the cursor in that function in the case where we have already fetched
one batch for the ForeignScan node and the asynchronous request has been
made for the second batch, because even in that case we would just reset
the counter when called from that function, so we would fail to execute
MOVE BACKWARD ALL.
To fix, modify that function to process the asynchronous request before
restarting the scan.
While at it, add a comment to a function to match other places.
Per bug #17344 from Alexander Lakhin. Back-patch to v14 where the
aforesaid commit came in.
Patch by me. Test case by Alexander Lakhin, adjusted by me. Reviewed
and tested by Alexander Lakhin and Dmitry Dolgov.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
