I tried to mask ctid.ip_blkid if it is set to InvalidBlockId with
following change in heap_mask:
------------- PATCH -------------
diff --git a/src/backend/access/heap/heapam.c b/src/backend/access/heap/heapam.c

*/
if (HeapTupleHeaderIsSpeculative(page_htup))
ItemPointerSet(&page_htup->t_ctid, blkno, off);
+
+ /* TODO : comments ? */
+ if
(!BlockNumberIsValid(BlockIdGetBlockNumber((&((page_htup->t_ctid).ip_blkid)))))
+ BlockIdSet(&((page_htup->t_ctid).ip_blkid), blkno);
}
/*
------------- END -------------
Test script[1] works as expected with this change but I don't have much
confident on it due to lack of knowledge of wal_consistency_checking
routine. Any suggestion/comments will be much appreciated, thanks!
