Heikki Linnakangas 93d888232e Don't throw a warning if vacuum sees PD_ALL_VISIBLE flag set on a page that 
contains newly-inserted tuples that according to our OldestXmin are not
yet visible to everyone. The value returned by GetOldestXmin() is conservative,
and it can move backwards on repeated calls, so if we see that contradiction
between the PD_ALL_VISIBLE flag and status of tuples on the page, we have to
assume it's because an earlier vacuum calculated a higher OldestXmin value,
and all the tuples really are visible to everyone.

We have received several reports of this bug, with the "PD_ALL_VISIBLE flag
was incorrectly set in relation ..." warning appearing in logs. We were
finally able to hunt it down with David Gould's help to run extra diagnostics
in an environment where this happened frequently.

Also reword the warning, per Robert Haas' suggestion, to not imply that the
PD_ALL_VISIBLE flag is necessarily at fault, as it might also be a symptom
of corruption on a tuple header.

Backpatch to 8.4, where the PD_ALL_VISIBLE flag was introduced.

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/.
