This means that the page must be read first, before recalculating the
record pointer to be the first one after the page header. This is done
a little bit after in ReadRecord():
pageHeaderSize = XLogPageHeaderSize((XLogPageHeader) readBuf);
targetRecOff = RecPtr->xrecoff % XLOG_BLCKSZ;
if (targetRecOff == 0)
{
/*
* At page start, so skip over page header. The Assert checks that
* we're not scribbling on caller's record pointer; it's OK because we
* can only get here in the continuing-from-prev-record case, since
* XRecOffIsValid rejected the zero-page-offset case otherwise.
*/
Assert(RecPtr == &tmpRecPtr);
RecPtr->xrecoff += pageHeaderSize;
targetRecOff = pageHeaderSize;
}
And XLogPageHeaderSize() makes the difference between a long a short header.
