- * return -1. The caller is expected to allow that only in permissible cases,
- * i.e. when the infomask lets it presuppose that the tuple had been
- * share-locked before a pg_upgrade; this means that the HEAP_XMAX_LOCK_ONLY
- * needs to be set, but HEAP_XMAX_KEYSHR_LOCK and HEAP_XMAX_EXCL_LOCK are not
- * set.

- * Other border conditions, such as trying to read a value that's larger than
- * the value currently known as the next to assign, raise an error. Previously
- * these also returned -1, but since this can lead to the wrong visibility
- * results, it is dangerous to do that.
+ * Return the set of MultiXactMembers that make up a MultiXactId
+ *
+ * Return value is the number of members found, or -1 if there are none,
+ * and *members is set to a newly palloc'ed array of members. It's the
+ * caller's responsibility to free it when done with it.
+ *
+ * from_pgupgrade must be passed as true if and only if only the multixact
+ * corresponds to a value from a tuple that was locked in a 9.2-or-older
+ * installation and later pg_upgrade'd (that is, the infomask is
+ * HEAP_LOCKED_UPGRADED). In this case, we know for certain that no members
+ * can still be running, so we return -1 just like for an empty multixact
+ * without any further checking. It would be wrong to try to resolve such a
+ * multixact: either the multixact is within the current valid multixact
+ * range, in which case the returned result would be bogus, or outside that
+ * range, in which case an error would be raised.
+ *
+ * In all other cases, the passed multixact must be within the known valid
+ * range, that is, greater to or equal than oldestMultiXactId, and less than
+ * nextMXact. Otherwise, an error is raised.
*
* onlyLock must be set to true if caller is certain that the given multi
* is used only to lock tuples; can be false without loss of correctness,
