Maybe there are not many things I can point out through reviewing the patch, so I ran the performance test against v17
patchesinstead of reviewing codes.
 
There are already a lot of tests about partition pruning case and we confirmed performance improves in those cases. In
thistime, I tested about accessing all partitions case.
 

I tested with master, master + 0001, master + 0001 + 0002, ..., master + 0001 + 0002 + 0003 + 0004.
I ran pgbench 3 times in each test case and below results are average of those.

[postgresql.conf]
max_parallel_workers = 0
max_parallel_workers_per_gather = 0

[partition table definitions(8192 partitions case)]
create table rt (a int, b int, c int) partition by range (a)
create table rt_1 partition of rt for values from (1) to (2);
...
create table rt_8192 partition of rt for values from (8191) to (8192);

[pgbench commands]
pgbench -n -f update.sql -T 30 postgres

[update.sql(updating partkey case)]
update rt set a = 1;

[update.sql(updating non-partkey case)]
update rt set b = 1;

Looking at the results, if we only apply 0001 or 0001 + 0002 and if number of partition is few like 1 or 2, performance
degradescompare to master(A maximum reduction is about 5%, which is 8863->8421).
 
In all other cases, performance improves compare to master.
