Subject: pgsql: Test that VM clear registers VM buffers

Message-ID: <E1wk7Ox-000M7y-0t@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)

Test that VM clear registers VM buffers

The WAL summarizer only tracks registered buffers, so unregistered VM
clears are ommitted from incremental backups, corrupting the restored
visibility map. Test those cases are now fixed.
