commit d5706ad7b70a03c53d06abff019d4cc56342ab09
Author: Thomas Munro <tmunro@postgresql.org>
Date: Tue Dec 01 00:46:27 2020 +0000
First released in: 14.0, 9.5.25, 9.6.21, 10.16, 11.11, 12.6, 13.2
Free disk space for dropped relations on commit.
When committing a transaction that dropped a relation, we previously
truncated only the first segment file to free up disk space (the one
that won't be unlinked until the next checkpoint).
Truncate higher numbered segments too, even though we unlink them on
commit. This frees the disk space immediately, even if other backends
have open file descriptors and might take a long time to get around to
handling shared invalidation events and closing them. Also extend the
same behavior to the first segment, in recovery.
Back-patch to all supported releases.
