Thomas Munro bcc93a389c Fix race in SSI interaction with bitmap heap scan.
When performing a bitmap heap scan, we don't want to miss concurrent
writes that occurred after we observed the heap's rs_nblocks, but before
we took predicate locks on index pages.  Therefore, we can't skip
fetching any heap tuples that are referenced by the index, because we
need to test them all with CheckForSerializableConflictOut().  The
old optimization that would ignore any references to blocks >=
rs_nblocks gets in the way of that requirement, because it means that
concurrent writes in that window are ignored.

Removing that optimization shouldn't affect correctness at any isolation
level, because any new tuples shouldn't be visible to an MVCC snapshot.
There also shouldn't be any error-causing references to heap blocks past
the end, because we should have held at least an AccessShareLock on the
table before the index scan.  It can't get smaller while our transaction
is running.  For now, though, we'll keep the optimization at lower
levels to avoid making unnecessary changes in a bug fix.

Back-patch to all supported releases.  In release 11, the code is in a
different place but not fundamentally different.  Fixes one aspect of
bug #17949.

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:

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.
