    Fix NOTIFY to cope with I/O problems, such as out-of-disk-space. · ae90128d
    Tom Lane authored
    The LISTEN/NOTIFY subsystem got confused if SimpleLruZeroPage failed,
    which would typically happen as a result of a write() failure while
    attempting to dump a dirty pg_notify page out of memory.  Subsequently,
    all attempts to send more NOTIFY messages would fail with messages like
    "Could not read from file "pg_notify/nnnn" at offset nnnnn: Success".
    Only restarting the server would clear this condition.  Per reports from
    Kevin Grittner and Christoph Berg.
    
    Back-patch to 9.0, where the problem was introduced during the
    LISTEN/NOTIFY rewrite.
