Previously, compaction could stall indefinitely if the provided
until_addresswas equal tohlog.begin_address. This could occur, if called from an existing test whenauto_compactionisfalse. In this case,pages_availableremained permanentlytrue, causing compaction threads to spin and preventingLightEpochfrom draining pending GC callbacks (as reported in #944).The changes in this PR ensure we validate the compaction range upfront (
until_address>hlog.begin_address). If the range is invalid, we now skip compaction. When the call originates from theF2Kvclass, a warning is logged before skipping.
