We use a hash table to track the parents of inner pages, but when inserting to a leaf page, the caller of gistbufferinginserttuples() must pass a correct block number of the leaf's parent page. Before gistProcessItup() descends to a child page, it checks if the downlink needs to be adjusted to accommodate the new tuple, and updates the downlink if necessary. However, updating the downlink might require splitting the page, which might move the downlink to a page to the right. gistProcessItup() doesn't realize that, so when it descends to the leaf page, it might pass an out-of-date parent block number as a result. Fix that by returning the block a tuple was inserted to from gistbufferinginserttuples(). This fixes the bug reported by Zdeněk Jílovec.

We used to mimic the way a stack is constructed when descending the tree during normal GiST inserts, but that was quite complicated during a buffered build. It was also wrong: in GiST, the left-to-right relationships on different levels might not match each other, so that when you know the parent of a child page, you won't necessarily find the parent of the page to the right of the child page by following the rightlinks at the parent level. This sometimes led to "could not re-find parent" errors while building a GiST index. We now use a simple hash table to track the parent of every internal page. Whenever a page is split, and downlinks are moved from one page to another, we update the hash table accordingly. This is also better for performance than the old method, as we never need to move right to re-find the parent page, which could take a significant amount of time for buffers that were created much earlier in the index build.

There were two bugs here: We forgot to call gistFreeBuildBuffers() function at the end of build, and we passed interXact == true to BufFileCreateTemp, so the file wasn't automatically cleaned up at end-of-transaction either.

The result of (maintenance_work_mem * 1024) / BLCKSZ doesn't fit in a signed 32-bit integer, if maintenance_work_mem >= 2GB. Use double instead. And while we're at it, write the calculations in an easier to understand form, with the intermediary steps written out and commented.

Throwing an error only after we've built the main index fork is pretty unfriendly when the table already contains data. Per gripe from Jay Levitt.

pg_trgm was already doing this unofficially, but the implementation hadn't been thought through very well and leaked memory. Restructure the core GiST code so that it actually works, and document it. Ordinarily this would have required an extra memory context creation/destruction for each GiST index search, but I was able to avoid that in the normal case of a non-rescanned search by finessing the handling of the RBTree. It used to have its own context always, but now shares a context with the scan-lifespan data structures, unless there is more than one rescan call. This should make the added overhead unnoticeable in typical cases.

queuedForEmptying flag correctly on buffer when adding it to the queue. Also, don't add buffer to the queue if it's there already. These were harmless oversights; failing to set the flag just means that a buffer might get added to the queue twice if more tuples are added to it (although that can't actually happen at this point because all the upper buffers have already been emptied), and having the same buffer twice in the emptying queue is harmless. But better be tidy.

When building a GiST index that doesn't fit in cache, buffers are attached to some internal nodes in the index. This speeds up the build by avoiding random I/O that would otherwise be needed to traverse all the way down the tree to the find right leaf page for tuple. Alexander Korotkov
