Heikki Linnakangas 6264cd3d69 In multi-insert, don't go into infinite loop on a huge tuple and fillfactor.
If a tuple is larger than page size minus space reserved for fillfactor,
heap_multi_insert would never find a page that it fits in and repeatedly ask
for a new page from RelationGetBufferForTuple. If a tuple is too large to
fit on any page, taking fillfactor into account, RelationGetBufferForTuple
will always expand the relation. In a normal insert, heap_insert will accept
that and put the tuple on the new page. heap_multi_insert, however, does a
fillfactor check of its own, and doesn't accept the newly-extended page
RelationGetBufferForTuple returns, even though there is no other choice to
make the tuple fit.

Fix that by making the logic in heap_multi_insert more like the heap_insert
logic. The first tuple is always put on the page RelationGetBufferForTuple
gives us, and the fillfactor check is only applied to the subsequent tuples.

Report from David Gould, although I didn't use his patch.

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:

	http://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.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  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
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
