Thomas Munro 9ffb10f183 Re-bin segment when memory pages are freed.
It's OK to be lazy about re-binning memory segments when allocating,
because that can only leave segments in a bin that's too high.  We'll
search higher bins if necessary while allocating next time, and
also eventually re-bin, so no memory can become unreachable that way.

However, when freeing memory, the largest contiguous range of free pages
might go up, so we should re-bin eagerly to make sure we don't leave the
segment in a bin that is too low for get_best_segment() to find.

The re-binning code is moved into a function of its own, so it can be
called whenever free pages are returned to the segment's free page map.

Back-patch to all supported releases.

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/.
