* [PATCH v7 4/5] Remove useless calls to flush some stats
@ 2026-01-06 11:06 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 12+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-01-06 11:06 UTC (permalink / raw)

Now that some stats can be flushed outside of transaction boundaries, remove
useless calls to report/flush some stats. Those calls were in place because
before commit <XXXX> stats were flushed only at transaction boundaries.

Note that:

- it reverts 039549d70f6 (it just keeps its tests)
- it can't be done for checkpointer and bgworker for example because they don't
have a flush callback to call
- it can't be done for auxiliary process (walsummarizer for example) because they
currently do not register the new timeout handler

* [PATCH v4 3/4] Remove useless calls to flush some stats
@ 2026-01-06 11:06 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 12+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-01-06 11:06 UTC (permalink / raw)

Now that some stats can be flushed outside of transaction boundaries, remove
useless calls to report/flush some stats. Those calls were in place because
before commit <XXXX> stats were flushed only at transaction boundaries.

Note that:

- it reverts 039549d70f6 (it just keeps its tests)
- it can't be done for checkpointer and bgworker for example because they don't
have a flush callback to call
- it can't be done for auxiliary process (walsummarizer for example) because they
currently do not register the new timeout handler

* [PATCH v8 4/5] Remove useless calls to flush some stats
@ 2026-01-06 11:06 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 12+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-01-06 11:06 UTC (permalink / raw)

Now that some stats can be flushed outside of transaction boundaries, remove
useless calls to report/flush some stats. Those calls were in place because
before commit <XXXX> stats were flushed only at transaction boundaries.

Note that:

- it reverts 039549d70f6 (it just keeps its tests)
- it can't be done for checkpointer and bgworker for example because they don't
have a flush callback to call
- it can't be done for auxiliary process (walsummarizer for example) because they
currently do not register the new timeout handler

* [PATCH v10 4/5] Remove useless calls to flush some stats
@ 2026-01-06 11:06 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-01-06 11:06 UTC (permalink / raw)

Now that some stats can be flushed outside of transaction boundaries, remove
useless calls to report/flush some stats. Those calls were in place because
before commit <XXXX> stats were flushed only at transaction boundaries.

Note that:

- it reverts 039549d70f6 (it just keeps its tests)
- it can't be done for checkpointer and bgworker for example because they don't
have a flush callback to call
- it can't be done for auxiliary process (walsummarizer for example) because they
currently do not register the new timeout handler

* [PATCH v3 2/3] Remove useless calls to flush some stats
@ 2026-01-06 11:06 Bertrand Drouvot <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 12+ messages in thread

From: Bertrand Drouvot @ 2026-01-06 11:06 UTC (permalink / raw)

Now that some stats can be flushed outside of transaction boundaries, remove
useless calls to report/flush some stats. Those calls were in place because
before commit <XXXX> stats were flushed only at transaction boundaries.

Note that:

- it reverts 039549d70f6 (it just keeps its tests)
- it can't be done for checkpointer and bgworker for example because they don't
have a flush callback to call
- it can't be done for auxiliary process (walsummarizer for example) because they
currently do not register the new timeout handler
