    Don't try to set InvalidXid as page pruning hint · c235a6a5
    Alvaro Herrera authored
    If a transaction updates/deletes a tuple just before aborting, and a
    concurrent transaction tries to prune the page concurrently, the pruner
    may see HeapTupleSatisfiesVacuum return HEAPTUPLE_DELETE_IN_PROGRESS,
    but a later call to HeapTupleGetUpdateXid() return InvalidXid.  This
    would cause an assertion failure in development builds, but would be
    otherwise Mostly Harmless.
    
    Fix by checking whether the updater Xid is valid before trying to apply
    it as page prune point.
