From 3d6a98457d8e21d85bed86cfd3e1d1df1b260721 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andres Freund Date: Wed, 5 Apr 2023 08:19:39 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Don't initialize page in {vm,fsm}_extend(), not needed The read path needs to be able to initialize pages anyway, as relation extensions are not durable. By avoiding initializing pages, we can, in a future patch, extend the relation by multiple blocks at once. Using smgrextend() for {vm,fsm}_extend() is not a good idea in general, as at least one page of the VM/FSM will be read immediately after, always causing a cache miss, requiring us to read content we just wrote.
