This symptom is shown in the below buildfarm critters:
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=prairiedog&dt=2019-01-28%2005%3A05%3A22
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=lapwing&dt=2019-01-28%2003%3A20%3A02
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=locust&dt=2019-01-28%2003%3A13%3A47
https://buildfarm.postgresql.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=dromedary&dt=2019-01-28%2003%3A07%3A39
All of these seems to run with fsync=off. Is it possible that vacuum has
updated FSM, but the same is not synced to disk and when we try to read it,
we didn't get the required page? This is just a guess.
I have checked all the buildfarm failures and I see only 4 symptoms for
which I have sent some initial analysis. I think you can also once
cross-verify the same.
