Fix memory leak in Incremental Sort rescans
Tomas Vondra <tomas.vondra@postgresql.org>
Fix memory leak in Incremental Sort rescans The Incremental Sort had a couple issues, resulting in leaking memory during rescans, possibly triggering OOM. The code had a couple of related flaws: 1. During rescans, the sort states were reset but then also set to NULL (despite the comment saying otherwise). ExecIncrementalSort then sees NULL and initializes a new sort state, leaking the memory used by the old one. 2. Initializing the sort state also automatically rebuilt the info about presorted keys, leaking the already initialized info. presorted_keys was also unnecessarily reset to NULL. Patch by James Coleman, based on patches by Laurenz Albe and Tom Lane. Backpatch to 13, where Incremental Sort was introduced.
