    Fix bug in gistRelocateBuildBuffersOnSplit(). · 1d27dcf5
    Heikki Linnakangas authored
    When we create a temporary copy of the old node buffer, in stack, we mustn't
    leak that into any of the long-lived data structures. Before this patch,
    when we called gistPopItupFromNodeBuffer(), it got added to the array of
    "loaded buffers". After gistRelocateBuildBuffersOnSplit() exits, the
    pointer added to the loaded buffers array points to garbage. Often that goes
    unnotied, because when we go through the array of loaded buffers to unload
    them, buffers with a NULL pageBuffer are ignored, which can often happen by
    accident even if the pointer points to garbage.
    
    This patch fixes that by marking the temporary copy in stack explicitly as
    temporary, and refrain from adding buffers marked as temporary to the array
    of loaded buffers.
    
    While we're at it, initialize nodeBuffer->pageBlocknum to InvalidBlockNumber
    and improve comments a bit. This isn't strictly necessary, but makes
    debugging easier.
