okay, I have added the checks for meta page as well. Please refer to
attached patch.

Yes, knowing that we deal with raw pages as in brin index it would be
good to use raw page instead of pageinspect to maintain the
consistency in the error message.

Corrected. Please check the attached patch.

Yes, there are two reasons behind it.

Firstly, we need metapage to identify the bitmap page that holds the
information about the overflow page passed as an input to this
function.

Secondly, we will have to input overflow block number as an input to
this function so as to determine the overflow bit number which can be
used further to identify the bitmap page.

+ /* Read the metapage so we can determine which bitmap page to use */
+ metabuf = _hash_getbuf(indexRel, HASH_METAPAGE, HASH_READ, LH_META_PAGE);
+ metap = HashPageGetMeta(BufferGetPage(metabuf));
+
+ /* Identify overflow bit number */
+ ovflbitno = _hash_ovflblkno_to_bitno(metap, ovflblkno);
+
+ bitmappage = ovflbitno >> BMPG_SHIFT(metap);
+ bitmapbit = ovflbitno & BMPG_MASK(metap);
+
+ if (bitmappage >= metap->hashm_nmaps)
+ ereport(ERROR,
+ (errcode(ERRCODE_INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE),
+ errmsg("invalid overflow bit number %u", ovflbitno)));
+
+ bitmapblkno = metap->hashm_mapp[bitmappage];

Yes, we should free it. We have used 5 as a multiplier instead of 4
because of ' ' character.

Apart from above comments, the attached patch also handles all the
comments from Mithun.
