[HACKERS] Set of fixes for WAL consistency check facility

Hi all,

Beginning a new thread to raise awareness... As already reported here,
I had a look at what has been committed in a507b869:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CAB7nPqRzCQb=vdfHvMtP0HMLBHU6z1aGdo4GJsUP-HP8jx+Pkw@mail.gmail.com

Here are a couple of things I have noticed while looking at the code:

+ * Portions Copyright (c) 2016, PostgreSQL Global Development Group
s/2016/2017/ in bufmask.c and bufmask.h.

+       if (ItemIdIsNormal(iid))
+       {
+
+           HeapTupleHeader page_htup = (HeapTupleHeader) page_item;
Unnecessary newline here.

+        * Read the contents from the backup copy, stored in WAL record and
+        * store it in a temporary page. There is not need to allocate a new
+        * page here, a local buffer is fine to hold its contents and a mask
+        * can be directly applied on it.
s/not need/no need/.

In checkXLogConsistency(), FPWs that have the flag BKPIMAGE_APPLY set
will still be checked, resulting in a FPW being compared to itself. I
think that those had better be bypassed.

Please find attached a patch with those fixes. I am attaching as well
this patch to next CF.
Regards,
