Kept looking at 0002 and found a couple of things to improve or change
my thoughts about. I decided to move the permission check from fast
path cache entry creation into ri_FastPathBatchFlush(), alongside the
snapshot, so that permission changes between flushes are respected
rather than checked once at batch start; the check happens for every
row in the SPI and non-batched fast path. Also, improved comments in
a few places to mention design decisions better.
0001 is mostly unchanged from v11 except I updated its commit message
to explain why only RI_FKey_check is covered and not the action
triggers as the topic has come up in previous threads about this
topic.
Still planning to commit 0001 tomorrow.
