At line 252 of brin_xlog.c, should the UnlockReleaseBuffer(metabuf) be
protected by a BufferIsValid?

XLogReadBufferForRedo says that it might return an invalid buffer under
some situations.  Perhaps it is known that those situations can't apply
here?


Now I am getting segfaults during normal (i.e. no intentional crashes)
operations.  I think I was seeing them sometimes before as well, I just
wasn't looking for them.

The attached script invokes the segfault within a few minutes.  A lot of
the stuff in the script is probably not necessary, I just didn't spend the
time to pair it down to the essentials.  It does not need to be in
parallel, I get the crash when invoked with only one job (perl ~/
brin_crash.pl 1).

I think this is related to having block ranges which have no tuples in them
when they are first summarized.  If I take out the "with t as (delete from
foo returning *) insert into foo select * from t", then I don't see the
crashes
