Tom Lane f4d7f1adba Fix incorrect order of operations during sinval reset processing.
We have to be sure that we have revalidated each nailed-in-cache relcache
entry before we try to use it to load data for some other relcache entry.
The introduction of "mapped relations" in 9.0 broke this, because although
we updated the state kept in relmapper.c early enough, we failed to
propagate that information into relcache entries soon enough; in
particular, we could try to fetch pg_class rows out of pg_class before
we'd updated its relcache entry's rd_node.relNode value from the map.

This bug accounts for Dave Gould's report of failures after "vacuum full
pg_class", and I believe that there is risk for other system catalogs
as well.

The core part of the fix is to copy relmapper data into the relcache
entries during "phase 1" in RelationCacheInvalidate(), before they'll be
used in "phase 2".  To try to future-proof the code against other similar
bugs, I also rearranged the order in which nailed relations are visited
during phase 2: now it's pg_class first, then pg_class_oid_index, then
other nailed relations.  This should ensure that RelationClearRelation can
apply RelationReloadIndexInfo to all nailed indexes without risking use
of not-yet-revalidated relcache entries.

Back-patch to 9.0 where the relation mapper was introduced.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
