David Rowley 16dfe253e3 Fix hypothetical bug in heap backward scans 
Both heapgettup() and heapgettup_pagemode() incorrectly set the first page
to scan in a backward scan in which the number of pages to scan was
specified by heap_setscanlimits().  The code incorrectly started the scan
at the end of the relation when startBlk was 0, or otherwise at
startBlk - 1, neither of which is correct when only scanning a subset of
pages.

The fix here checks if heap_setscanlimits() has changed the number of
pages to scan and if so we set the first page to scan as the final page in
the specified range during backward scans.

Proper adjustment of this code was forgotten when heap_setscanlimits() was
added in 7516f5259 back in 9.5.  However, practice, nowhere in core code
performs backward scans after having used heap_setscanlimits(), yet, it is
possible an extension uses the heap functions in this way, hence
backpatch.

An upcoming patch does use heap_setscanlimits() with backward scans, so
this must be fixed before that can go in.

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/.
