Peter Geoghegan 02d647bbf0 Don't test HEAP_XMAX_INVALID when freezing xmax.
We shouldn't ever need to rely on whether HEAP_XMAX_INVALID is set in
t_infomask when considering whether or not an xmax should be deemed
already frozen, since that status flag is just a hint.  The only
acceptable representation for an "xmax_already_frozen" raw xmax field is
the transaction ID value zero (also known as InvalidTransactionId).

Adjust code that superficially appeared to rely on HEAP_XMAX_INVALID to
make the rule about xmax_already_frozen clear.  Also avoid needlessly
rereading the tuple's raw xmax.

Oversight in bugfix commit d2599ecf.  There is no evidence that this
ever led to incorrect behavior, so no backpatch.  The worst consequence
of this bug was that VACUUM could hypothetically fail to notice and
report on certain kinds of corruption, which seems fairly benign.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
