OK, thanks!

Do I understand correctly that this is bugfix that needs to be back-patched?
Thus we should not refactor 4 identical *PagePrecedes(int page1, int page2) into 1 generic function?
Since functions are not symmetric anymore, maybe we should have better names for arguments than "page1" and "page2"? At least in dev branch.

Is it common practice to embed tests into assert checking like in SlruPagePrecedesUnitTests()?

SLRU seems no near simple, BTW. The only simple place is naive caching algorithm. I remember there was a thread to do relations from SLRUs.

Best regards, Andrey Borodin.
