Message-ID: <E1w59Ls-001IWC-13@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)
WAL log VM setting for empty pages in XLOG_HEAP2_PRUNE_VACUUM_SCAN
As part of removing XLOG_HEAP2_VISIBLE records, phase I of VACUUM now
marks empty pages all-visible and all-frozen in a
XLOG_HEAP2_PRUNE_VACUUM_SCAN record.
This has no real independent benefit, but empty pages were the last user
of XLOG_HEAP2_VISIBLE, so by making this change we can next remove all
of the XLOG_HEAP2_VISIBLE code.
