Message-ID: <E1wqFbb-00000001GaE-2vmH@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)

Add a comment to distinguish backend types

The data checksums entries were seemingly auxiliary processes from
reading the code, but they are in fact background workers.  Add a
comment to clarify.  Backpatch down to v19 where online checksums
were introduced.
