Disable asynchronous execution if using gating Result nodes.

Etsuro Fujita · Etsuro Fujita · commit 5c854e7a2c8a · 2022-04-28T15:15:00.000+09:00
mark_async_capable_plan(), which is called from create_append_plan() to determine whether subplans are async-capable, failed to take into account that the given subplan created from a given subpath might include a gating Result node if the subpath is a SubqueryScanPath or ForeignPath, causing a segmentation fault there when the subplan created from a SubqueryScanPath includes the Result node, or causing ExecAsyncRequest() to throw an error about an unrecognized node type when the subplan created from a ForeignPath includes the Result node, because in the latter case the Result node was unintentionally considered as async-capable, but we don't currently support executing Result nodes asynchronously. Fix by modifying mark_async_capable_plan() to disable asynchronous execution in such cases. Also, adjust code in the ProjectionPath case in mark_async_capable_plan(), for consistency with other cases, and adjust/improve comments there. is_async_capable_path() added in commit 27e1f14, which was rewritten to mark_async_capable_plan() in a later commit, has the same issue, causing the error at execution mentioned above, so back-patch to v14 where the aforesaid commit went in.
