Message-ID: <E1t7GgB-003cVj-Va@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)
Move I/O before the index_update_stats() buffer lock region.
Commit a07e03fd8fa7daf4d1356f7cb501ffe784ea6257 enlarged the work done
here under the pg_class heap buffer lock. Two preexisting actions are
best done before holding that lock. Both RelationGetNumberOfBlocks()
and visibilitymap_count() do I/O, and the latter might exclusive-lock a
visibility map buffer. Moving these reduces contention and risk of
undetected LWLock deadlock. Back-patch to v12, like that commit.
