+ * visibilitymap_clear - clear a bit in the visibility map
+ * visibilitymap_pin - pin a map page for setting a bit
+ * visibilitymap_set - set a bit in a previously pinned page
+ * visibilitymap_test - test if a bit is set
+ *
+ * NOTES
+ *
+ * The visibility map is a bitmap with one bit per heap page. A set bit means
+ * that all tuples on the page are visible to all transactions, and doesn't
+ * therefore need to be vacuumed. The map is conservative in the sense that we
+ * make sure that whenever a bit is set, we know the condition is true, but if
+ * a bit is not set, it might or might not be.
+ *
+ * There's no explicit WAL logging in the functions in this file. The callers
+ * must make sure that whenever a bit is cleared, the bit is cleared on WAL
+ * replay of the updating operation as well. Setting bits during recovery
+ * isn't necessary for correctness.
+ *
+ * Currently, the visibility map is only used as a hint, to speed up VACUUM.
+ * A corrupted visibility map won't cause data corruption, although it can
+ * make VACUUM skip pages that need vacuuming, until the next anti-wraparound
+ * vacuum. The visibility map is not used for anti-wraparound vacuums, because
+ * an anti-wraparound vacuum needs to freeze tuples and observe the latest xid
+ * present in the table, also on pages that don't have any dead tuples.
+ *
+ * Although the visibility map is just a hint at the moment, the PD_ALL_VISIBLE
+ * flag on heap pages *must* be correct.
+ *
+ * LOCKING
+ *
+ * In heapam.c, whenever a page is modified so that not all tuples on the
+ * page are visible to everyone anymore, the corresponding bit in the
+ * visibility map is cleared. The bit in the visibility map is cleared
+ * after releasing the lock on the heap page, to avoid holding the lock
+ * over possible I/O to read in the visibility map page.
+ *
+ * To set a bit, you need to hold a lock on the heap page. That prevents
+ * the race condition where VACUUM sees that all tuples on the page are
+ * visible to everyone, but another backend modifies the page before VACUUM
+ * sets the bit in the visibility map.
+ *
+ * When a bit is set, the LSN of the visibility map page is updated to make
+ * sure that the visibility map update doesn't get written to disk before the
+ * WAL record of the changes that made it possible to set the bit is flushed.
+ * But when a bit is cleared, we don't have to do that because it's always OK
+ * to clear a bit in the map from correctness point of view.
+ *
+ * TODO
+ *
+ * It would be nice to use the visibility map to skip visibility checkes in
+ * index scans.
+ *
+ * Currently, the visibility map is not 100% correct all the time.
+ * During updates, the bit in the visibility map is cleared after releasing
+ * the lock on the heap page. During the window after releasing the lock
+ * and clearing the bit in the visibility map, the bit in the visibility map
+ * is set, but the new insertion or deletion is not yet visible to other
+ * backends.
+ *
+ * That might actually be OK for the index scans, though. The newly inserted
+ * tuple wouldn't have an index pointer yet, so all tuples reachable from an
+ * index would still be visible to all other backends, and deletions wouldn't
+ * be visible to other backends yet.
+ *
+ * There's another hole in the way the PD_ALL_VISIBLE flag is set. When
+ * vacuum observes that all tuples are visible to all, it sets the flag on
+ * the heap page, and also sets the bit in the visibility map. If we then
+ * crash, and only the visibility map page was flushed to disk, we'll have
+ * a bit set in the visibility map, but the corresponding flag on the heap
+ * page is not set. If the heap page is then updated, the updater won't
+ * know to clear the bit in the visibility map.
