Peter Geoghegan 9945ad6e90 Justify nbtree page split locking in code comment.
Delaying unlocking the right child page until after the point that the
left child's parent page has been refound is no longer truly necessary.
Commit 40dae7ec made nbtree tolerant of interrupted page splits.  VACUUM
was taught to avoid deleting a page that happens to be the right half of
an incomplete split.  As long as page splits don't unlock the left child
page until the end of the second/final phase, it should be safe to
unlock the right child page earlier (at the end of the first phase).

It probably isn't actually useful to release the right child's lock
earlier like this (it probably won't improve performance).  Even still,
pointing out that it ought to be safe to do so should make it easier to
understand the overall design.

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/.
