I forgot to mention the cause of the problem.

if (istate->schunkptr < istate->nchunks)
{  PagetableEntry *chunk = &ptbase[idxchunks[istate->schunkptr]];   PagetableEntry *page =
&ptbase[idxpages[istate->spageptr]];  BlockNumber chunk_blockno;
 

In above if condition we have only checked istate->schunkptr <
istate->nchunks that means we have some chunk left so we are safe to
access idxchunks,  But just after that we are accessing
ptbase[idxpages[istate->spageptr]] without checking that accessing
idxpages is safe or not.

tbm_iterator already handling this case, I broke it in tbm_shared_iterator.
