Andres Freund 3a01f68e35 Check for interrupts inside the nbtree page deletion code. 
When deleting pages the nbtree code has to walk through siblings of a
tree node. When those sibling links are corrupted that can lead to
endless loops - which are currently not interruptible.  This is
especially problematic if autovacuum is repeatedly blocked on such
indexes, as it can be hard to get out of that situation without
resorting to single user mode.

Thus add interrupt checks to appropriate places in such
loops. Unfortunately in one of the cases it's it's not easy to do so.

Between 9.3 and 9.4 the page deletion (and page split) code changed
significantly. Before it was significantly less robust against
interruptions. Therefore don't backpatch to 9.3.

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/.
