Good catch! I agree that this is a bug.

Thanks for the patch! It basically looks good to me.

It's a bit waste of cycles to calculate and update the number of scanned
blocks every cycles. So I'm inclined to change the code as follows.
Thought?

+ BlockNumber prev_cblock = InvalidBlockNumber;
<snip>
+ if (prev_cblock != heapScan->rs_cblock)
+ {
+ pgstat_progress_update_param(PROGRESS_CLUSTER_HEAP_BLKS_SCANNED,
+ (heapScan->rs_cblock +
+ heapScan->rs_nblocks -
+ heapScan->rs_startblock
+ ) % heapScan->rs_nblocks + 1);
+ prev_cblock = heapScan->rs_cblock;
+ }
