Peter Geoghegan cd8c73a38a Refactor nbtree deletion INCOMPLETE_SPLIT check.
Factor out code common to _bt_lock_branch_parent() and _bt_pagedel()
into a new utility function.  This new function is used to check that
the left sibling of a deletion target page does not have the
INCOMPLETE_SPLIT page flag set.  If it is set then deletion is unsafe;
there won't be a usable pivot tuple (with a downlink) in the parent page
that points to the deletion target page.  The page deletion algorithm is
not prepared to deal with that.  Also restructure an existing, related
utility function that checks if the right sibling of the target page has
the ISHALFDEAD page flag set.

This organization highlights the symmetry between the two cases.  The
goal is to make the design of page deletion clearer.  Both functions
involve a sibling page with a flag that indicates that there was an
interrupted operation (a page split or a page deletion) that resulted in
a page pointed to by sibling pages, but not pointed to in the parent.
And, both functions indicate if page deletion is unsafe due to the
absence of a particular downlink in the parent page.

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
