Re: pg15b3: recovery fails with wal prefetch enabled

Some more details, in case they're important:

First: the server has wal_compression=zstd (I wonder if something
doesn't allow/accomodate compressed FPI?)

I thought to mention that after compiling pg15 locally and forgetting to
use --with-zstd.

I compiled it to enable your debug logging, which wrote these during
recovery:

< 2022-08-31 21:17:01.807 CDT >NOTICE: suppressing prefetch in relation 1663/16888/165958212 from block 156 until 1201/1C3965A0 is replayed, which truncates the relation
< 2022-08-31 21:17:01.903 CDT >NOTICE: suppressing prefetch in relation 1663/16888/165958523 from block 23 until 1201/1C39CC98 is replayed, which truncates the relation

Also, pg_waldump seems to fail early with -w:

Also, the VM has crashed with OOM before, while runnning pg15, with no issue in
recovery. I haven't been able to track down the cause..

The VM is running: kernel-3.10.0-1160.66.1.el7.x86_64

pgsql is an ext4 FS (no tablespaces), which is a qemu block device
exposed like:

<driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none' io='native'/>
<target dev='vdg' bus='virtio'/>

It's nowhere near full:

/dev/vdc 96G 51G 46G 53% /var/lib/pgsql
