Subject: Fix variable initialization when using buffering build with GiST
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fa19a08d71fbeefc39415d9c6c70128460d41f94;p=postgresql

Fix variable initialization when using buffering build with GiST

This can cause valgrind to complain, as the flag marking a buffer as a
temporary copy was not getting initialized.

While on it, fill in with zeros newly-created buffer pages.  This does
not matter when loading a block from a temporary file, but it makes the
push of an index tuple into a new buffer page safer.

This has been introduced by 1d27dcf, so backpatch all the way down to
9.4.
