Subject: pgsql: Add pruning fast path for all-visible and all-frozen pages
Date: Sun, 22 Mar 2026 19:48:09 +0000
Message-ID: <E1w4OmO-000yfB-1T@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)
Add pruning fast path for all-visible and all-frozen pages
Because of the SKIP_PAGES_THRESHOLD optimization or a stale prune XID,
heap_page_prune_and_freeze() can be invoked for pages with no pruning or
freezing work to do. To avoid this, if a page is already all-frozen or
it is all-visible and no freezing will be attempted, exit early. We
can't exit early if vacuum passed DISABLE_PAGE_SKIPPING, though.
