I think you have identified the places correctly. I have few
suggestions though.
1.
- if (!ItemPointerEquals(&tuple->t_self, ctid))
+ if (!(ItemPointerEquals(&tuple->t_self, ctid) ||
+ (!ItemPointerValidBlockNumber(ctid) &&
+ (ItemPointerGetOffsetNumber(&tuple->t_self) == /* TODO: Condn.
should be macro? */
+ ItemPointerGetOffsetNumber(ctid)))))
Can't we write this and similar tests as:
ItemPointerValidBlockNumber(ctid) &&
!ItemPointerEquals(&tuple->t_self, ctid)? It will be bit simpler to
understand and serve the purpose.
2.
if (mytup.t_data->t_infomask & HEAP_XMAX_INVALID ||
ItemPointerEquals(&mytup.t_self, &mytup.t_data->t_ctid) ||
+ !HeapTupleHeaderValidBlockNumber(mytup.t_data) ||
HeapTupleHeaderIsOnlyLocked(mytup.t_data))
I think it is better to keep the check for
HeapTupleHeaderValidBlockNumber earlier than ItemPointerEquals as it
will first validate if block number is valid and then only compare the
complete CTID.
