In MDEV-11369 (instant ADD COLUMN) in MariaDB Server 10.3,
we introduced the hidden metadata record that must be the
first record in the clustered index if and only if
index->is_instant() holds.
To catch MDEV-19783, in
commit ed0793e096 and
commit 99dc40d6ac
we added some assertions to find cases where
the metadata record is missing while it should not be, or a
record exists when it should not. Those assertions were invalid
when traversing the PAGE_FREE list. That list can contain anything;
we must only be able to determine the successor and the size of
each garbage record in it.
page_validate(), page_simple_validate_old(), page_simple_validate_new():
Do not invoke page_rec_get_next_const() for traversing the PAGE_FREE
list, but instead use a lower-level accessor that does not attempt to
validate the REC_INFO_MIN_REC_FLAG.
page_copy_rec_list_end_no_locks(),
page_copy_rec_list_start(), page_delete_rec_list_start():
Add assertions.
btr_page_get_split_rec_to_left(): Remove a redundant return value,
and make the output parameter the return value.
btr_page_get_split_rec_to_right(), btr_page_split_and_insert(): Clean up.
