Hi,
I encountered the following assertion failure when I changed
logical_decoding_work_mem to lower value while logical replication
is running. This happend in the master branch.
TRAP: FailedAssertion("rb->size < logical_decoding_work_mem * 1024L", File: "reorderbuffer.c", Line: 2403)

ReorderBufferCheckMemoryLimit() explains that it relies on
the following (commented) assumption. But this seems incorrect
when logical_decoding_work_mem is decreased. I wonder if we may
need to keep evicting the transactions until we don't exceed
memory limit.
/*
* And furthermore, evicting the transaction should get us below the
* memory limit again - it is not possible that we're still exceeding the
* memory limit after evicting the transaction.
*
* This follows from the simple fact that the selected transaction is at
* least as large as the most recent change (which caused us to go over
* the memory limit). So by evicting it we're definitely back below the
* memory limit.
*/
Assert(rb->size < logical_decoding_work_mem * 1024L);
