libpq: pipeline mode might desynchronize client and server

От

Hi!

This is a follow up on 
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/17948-fcace7557e449957@postgresql.org.

Libpq in pipeline mode considers '< 2TDCEZ' a sufficient response to
'> BDESS', when according to specification one more 'Z' is expected.
This leads to client <-> server desynchronization, when libpq parses the 
very next message server sends (which is Z, as expected).

A bit more context and a MRE: 
https://github.com/itrofimow/libpq_protocol_desync

I'm pretty sure that this branch 
https://github.com/postgres/postgres/blob/3af101ce8be8eeb0e8adc61e293b5d12989f68be/src/interfaces/libpq/fe-exec.c#L2124

should be adjusted to handle the case and do not match error response 
against sync query.

Is this the same bug as discussed on this other thread?  Why is there
a need for a second thread?

Could you attach the test case to the original thread please (assuming
that this is the same problem)?  If this data is deleted by github,
then any data making a problem reproducible would be lost.

FWIW I started looking at this problem a couple of days ago.  I had not
noticed the previous thread.
