OK, I agree that having multiple patch sets on the same thread is cumbersome.

So, here are all the patches I posted to date (and one new at the bottom)
for reported and unreported bugs, excluding the one involving
BulkInsertState for which you replied in a new thread.

I'll describe the attached patches in brief:

0001-Fix-a-bug-of-insertion-into-an-internal-partition.patch

Since implicit partition constraints are not inherited, an internal
partition's constraint was not being enforced when targeted directly.
So, include such constraint when setting up leaf partition result
relations for tuple-routing.

0002-Set-ecxt_scantuple-correctly-for-tuple-routing.patch

In 2ac3ef7a01df859c62d0a02333b646d65eaec5ff, we changed things so that
it's possible for a different TupleTableSlot to be used for partitioned
tables at successively lower levels.  If we do end up changing the slot
from the original, we must update ecxt_scantuple to point to the new one
for partition key of the tuple to be computed correctly.

0003-Fix-RETURNING-to-work-correctly-after-tuple-routing.patch

In ExecInsert(), do not switch back to the root partitioned table
ResultRelInfo until after we finish ExecProcessReturning(), so that
RETURNING projection is done using the partition's descriptor.  For
the projection to work correctly, we must initialize the same for
each leaf partition during ModifyTableState initialization.

0004-Fix-some-issues-with-views-and-partitioned-tables.patch

Automatically updatable views failed to handle partitioned tables.
Once that's fixed, WITH CHECK OPTIONS wouldn't work correctly without
the WCO expressions having been suitably converted for each partition
(think applying map_partition_varattnos to Vars in the WCO expressions
just like with partition constraint expressions).

0005-Fix-some-wrong-thinking-in-check_new_partition_bound.patch

Because a given range bound in the PartitionBoundInfo.datums array
is sometimes a range lower bound and upper bound at other times, we
must be careful when assuming which, especially when interpreting
the result of partition_bound_bsearch which returns the index of the
greatest bound that is less than or equal to probe.  Due to an error
in thinking about the same, the relevant code in
check_new_partition_bound() caused invalid partition (index = -1)
to be chosen as the partition being overlapped.

0006-Avoid-tuple-coversion-in-common-partitioning-cases.patch

Currently, the tuple conversion is performed after a tuple is routed,
even if the attributes of a target leaf partition map one-to-one with
those of the root table, which is wasteful.  Avoid that by making
convert_tuples_by_name() return a NULL map for such cases.

0007-Avoid-code-duplication-in-map_partition_varattnos.patch

Code to map attribute numbers in map_partition_varattnos() duplicates
what convert_tuples_by_name_map() does.  Avoid that as pointed out by
Álvaro Herrera.

0008-Avoid-DROP-TABLE-.-CASCADE-in-more-partitioning-test.patch

This is the new one.  There were quite a few commits recently to fix the
breakage in regression tests due to not using ORDER BY in queries on
system catalogs and using DROP TABLE ... CASCADE.  There were still some
instances of the latter in create_table.sql and alter_table.sql.

Thanks,
