GIN stuck in loop during PITR

От
Andreas Seltenreich
Дата:
I'm just experimenting a bit with GIN, and it is occasionally getting
stuck looping in findParents() during WAL replay.

The attached patch seems to fix it. I also had to set ptr->off as
advertised in the comment above the function to avoid triggering
assertions.

GIN isn't fully transparent to me yet, so it is quite likely that I am
missing something...

regards,
andreas

Thanks a lot, applied. Can you describe test suite? It may be useful for test 
more...

GIN is young code and it needs to independently tests.

Here's a shell script that triggers the bug when I revert the patch.

Just tried the script on HEAD, and it was triggering an assertion. I
guess it is because we are still returning InvalidOffsetNumber in the
trivial case (looks like a typo to me). I've attached a patch.
