Memory leaks in BufFileOpenShared()
Memory is allocated twice for "file" and "files" variables. Possible fix:

Good catch. Thanks.

Now I see that BufFileCreateShared() has similar problem with file->name.
More generic problem I see is that the common initialization of BufFile is
repeated a few times. The attached patch tries to improve that (it also fixes
the duplicate allocation of file->name).

Right.

The changes were made by this commit to add infrastructure for sharing
temporary files between backends, according to the author (Thomas
Munro).
https://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/dc6c4c9dc2a111519b76b22daaaac86c5608223b
Your proposal looks reasonable but I would like to hear from Thomas's
opinion as well.
Thomas?

o.k. He can actually have different feeling about details, e.g. if a new
function makeBufFileCommon() should be introduced or if makeBufFile() should
do the common settings. In the latter case, BufFileCreateTemp() would have to
do more work than it does now.

Thanks for finding these accidental duplications, and to Ishii-san for
committing the fix. Oops.
+1 for this refactoring.
