Thomas Munro 38763d6778 Fix segment_bins corruption in dsa.c.
If a segment has been freed by dsa.c because it is entirely empty, other
backends must make sure to unmap it before following links to new
segments that might happen to have the same index number, or they could
finish up looking at a defunct segment and then corrupt the segment_bins
lists.  The correct protocol requires checking freed_segment_counter
after acquiring the area lock and before resolving any index number to a
segment.  Add the missing checks and an assertion.

Back-patch to 10, where dsa.c first arrived.

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/.
