I've seen this twice now, the checksum failure was both times for the
block
labelled "next" in the redo record.  Is this another case where the block
needs to be reinitialized upon replay?


Hmm, it looks like I fumbled the numbering of the backup blocks in the
b-tree split WAL record (in 9.4). I blame the comments; the comments where
the record is generated numbers the backup blocks starting from 1, but
XLR_BKP_BLOCK(x) and RestoreBackupBlock(...) used in replay number them
starting from 0.

Attached is a patch that I think fixes them. In addition to the
rnext-reference, clearing the incomplete-split flag in the child page, had
a similar numbering mishap.


The seems to have fixed it.

Okay, thanks, committed.

Your torn-page generator seems to be very good at finding bugs - any chance you could publish it?

I wonder if it could've caught the similar mishap in the clearing of the incomplete-split flag. I think you'd a checkpoint to begin in the very narrow window between splitting a page and inserting the parent pointer.
