Tom Lane 632ae6829f Forget about targeting catalog cache invalidations by tuple TID.
The TID isn't stable enough: we might queue an sinval event before a VACUUM
FULL, and then process it afterwards, when the target tuple no longer has
the same TID.  So we must invalidate entries on the basis of hash value
only.  The old coding can be shown to result in various bizarre,
hard-to-reproduce errors in the presence of concurrent VACUUM FULLs on
system catalogs, and could easily result in permanent catalog corruption,
up to and including complete loss of tables.

This commit is just a minimal fix that removes the unsafe comparison.
We should remove transmission of the tuple TID from sinval messages
altogether, and then arrange to suppress the extra message in the common
case of a heap_update that doesn't change the key hashvalue.  But that's
going to be much more invasive, and will only produce a probably-marginal
performance gain, so it doesn't seem like material for a back-patch.

Back-patch to 9.0.  Before that, VACUUM FULL refused to do any tuple moving
if it found any INSERT_IN_PROGRESS or DELETE_IN_PROGRESS tuples (and
CLUSTER would give up altogether), so there was no risk of moving a tuple
that might be the subject of an unsent sinval message.

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:

	http://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.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  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
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
