When an update moves a row between partitions (supported since 2f178441044b), our normal logic for following update chains in READ COMMITTED mode doesn't work anymore. Cross partition updates are modeled as an delete from the old and insert into the new partition. No ctid chain exists across partitions, and there's no convenient space to introduce that link. Not throwing an error in a partitioned context when one would have been thrown without partitioning is obviously problematic. This commit introduces infrastructure to detect when a tuple has been moved, not just plainly deleted. That allows to throw an error when encountering a deletion that's actually a move, while attempting to following a ctid chain. The row deleted as part of a cross partition update is marked by pointing it's t_ctid to an invalid block, instead of self as a normal update would. That was deemed to be the least invasive and most future proof way to represent the knowledge, given how few infomask bits are there to be recycled (there's also some locking issues with using infomask bits). External code following ctid chains should be updated to check for moved tuples. The most likely consequence of not doing so is a missed error.

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: https://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. 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 https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
