Doesn't look right to me. There's no padding after the first line 
pointer, hence the first MAXALIGN shouldn't be there.

BTW, looking at hashinsert.c where it's used, we're actually passing a 
pointer to the meta page to HashMaxItemSize(). So the PageGetPageSize() 
call on that is quite bogus, since it's not the meta page that the tuple 
is going to be inserted to. It's academical, because all pages are the 
same size anyway, but doesn't look right. I think I'd go with BLKCSZ 
instead.

I think this is the way it should be:

#define HashMaxItemSize \
	(BLCKSZ - \
	 SizeOfPageHeaderData - \
	 MAXALIGN(sizeof(HashPageOpaqueData)) - \
	 sizeof(ItemIdData))
