commit 5297ac1f upstream. Log tail verification currently only occurs when torn writes are detected at the head of the log. This was introduced because a change in the head block due to torn writes can lead to a change in the tail block (each log record header references the current tail) and the tail block should be verified before log recovery proceeds. Tail corruption is possible outside of torn write scenarios, however. For example, partial log writes can be detected and cleared during the initial head/tail block discovery process. If the partial write coincides with a tail overwrite, the log tail is corrupted and recovery fails. To facilitate correct handling of log tail overwites, update log recovery to always perform tail verification. This is necessary to detect potential tail overwrite conditions when torn writes may not have occurred. This changes normal (i.e., no torn writes) recovery behavior slightly to detect and return CRC related errors near the tail before actual recovery starts.
