Up to now, only ECONNRESET (and EPIPE, in most but not quite all places) received special treatment in our error handling logic. This patch changes things so that related error codes such as ECONNABORTED are also recognized as indicating that the connection's dead and unlikely to come back. We continue to think, however, that only ECONNRESET and EPIPE should be reported as probable server crashes; the other cases indicate network connectivity problems but prove little about the server's state. Thus, there's no change in the error message texts that are output for such cases. The key practical effect is that errcode_for_socket_access() will report ERRCODE_CONNECTION_FAILURE rather than ERRCODE_INTERNAL_ERROR for a network failure. It's expected that this will fix buildfarm member lorikeet's failures since commit 32a9c0bdf, as that seems to be due to not treating ECONNABORTED equivalently to ECONNRESET. The set of errnos treated this way now includes ECONNABORTED, EHOSTDOWN, EHOSTUNREACH, ENETDOWN, ENETRESET, and ENETUNREACH. Several of these were second-class citizens in terms of their handling in places like get_errno_symbol(), so upgrade the infrastructure where necessary. As committed, this patch assumes that all these symbols are defined everywhere. POSIX specifies all of them except EHOSTDOWN, but that seems to exist on all platforms of interest; we'll see what the buildfarm says about that. Probably this should be back-patched, but let's see what the buildfarm thinks of it first. Fujii Masao and Tom Lane Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2621622.1602184554@sss.pgh.pa.us

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.
