WAL-log inplace update before revealing it to other sessions.
A buffer lock won't stop a reader having already checked tuple
visibility. If a vac_update_datfrozenid() and then a crash happened
during inplace update of a relfrozenxid value, datfrozenxid could
overtake relfrozenxid. That could lead to "could not access status of
transaction" errors.
Back-patch to v14 - v17. This is a back-patch of commits:
-
8e7e672cdaa6bfec85d4d5dd9be84159df23bb41
(main change, on master, before v18 branched)
-
818013665259d4242ba641aad705ebe5a3e2db8e
(defect fix, on master, before v18 branched)
It reverses commit
bc6bad88572501aecaa2ac5d4bc900ac0fd457d5, my revert
of the original back-patch.
In v14, this also back-patches the assertion removal from commit
7fcf2faf9c7dd473208fd6d5565f88d7f733782b.
