When starting WAL replay from an online checkpoint, the last replayed WAL record variable was initialized using the checkpoint record's location, even though the records between the REDO location and the checkpoint record had not been replayed yet. That was noted as "slightly confusing" but harmless in the comment, but in some cases, it fooled CheckRecoveryConsistency to incorrectly conclude that we had already reached a consistent state immediately at the beginning of WAL replay. That caused the system to accept read-only connections in hot standby mode too early, and also PANICs with message "WAL contains references to invalid pages". Fix by initializing the variables to the REDO location instead. In 9.2 and above, change CheckRecoveryConsistency() to use lastReplayedEndRecPtr variable when checking if backup end location has been reached. It was inconsistently using EndRecPtr for that check, but lastReplayedEndRecPtr when checking min recovery point. It made no difference before this patch, because in all the places where CheckRecoveryConsistency was called the two variables were the same, but it was always an accident waiting to happen, and would have been wrong after this patch anyway. Report and analysis by Tomonari Katsumata, bug #8686. Backpatch to 9.0, where hot standby was introduced.
