This tightens a couple checks in checking GIN indexes, which might have resulted in incorrect results (false positives/negatives). * The code skipped ordering checks if the entries were for different attributes (for multi-column GIN indexes), possibly missing some cases of data corruption. But the attribute number is part of the ordering, so we can check that. * The root page was skipped when checking entry order, but that is unnecessary. The root page is subject to the same ordering rules, we can process it just like any other page. * The high key on the right-most page was not checked, but that is needed only for inner pages (we don't store the high key for those). For leaf pages we can check the high key just fine. * Correct the detection of split pages. If the page gets split, the cached parent key is greater than the current child key (not less, as the code incorrectly expected). Issues reported by Arseniy Mukhin, along with a proposed patch.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
