So IIUC, we must pass the per-child PlannerInfo here, because that's what
would have been used for the planning join between the child (ft1 in your
example) and the other table (ft2 in your example). So that's where the
RelOptInfo's corresponding to planning for the child, including that for
the pushed-down join, would be stored.
Just to clarify, does this problem only arise because there is a pushed
down join involving the child? That is, does the problem only occur as of
the following commit:
commit 1bc0100d270e5bcc980a0629b8726a32a497e788

postgres_fdw: Push down UPDATE/DELETE joins to remote servers.
In other words, do we need to back-patch this up to 9.5 which added
foreign table inheritance?
Anyway, the patch and tests it adds look good.
Thanks,
Amit
