No, that's correct as-is --- or at least, if it's not correct, there
are a bunch of other places that are also not correct.

Thinking about this further, though, it seems like a more straightforward
solution to the original problem is to not store quals in a Plan's
fdw_private list in the first place.  Putting them there is at best
useless overhead that the finished plan will have to drag around;
and it's not terribly hard to imagine future changes that would make
having never-processed-by-setrefs.c qual trees in a plan be broken in
other ways.  Can't we use a field in the rel's PgFdwRelationInfo to
carry the remote_exprs forward from postgresGetForeignPlan to
postgresPlanDirectModify?

Commits

  1. Avoid transferring parallel-unsafe subplans to parallel workers.

  2. Mark finished Plan nodes with parallel_safe flags.

  3. Simplify handling of remote-qual pass-forward in postgres_fdw.

  4. Handle restriction clause lists more uniformly in postgres_fdw.

  5. Allow parallel workers to execute subplans.
