Allow autovacuum to reload the config file more often so that cost-based delay parameters can take effect while VACUUMing a relation. Previously, autovacuum workers only reloaded the config file once per relation vacuumed, so config changes could not take effect until beginning to vacuum the next table. Now, check if a reload is pending roughly once per block, when checking if we need to delay. In order for autovacuum workers to safely update their own cost delay and cost limit parameters without impacting performance, we had to rethink when and how these values were accessed. Previously, an autovacuum worker's wi_cost_limit was set only at the beginning of vacuuming a table, after reloading the config file. Therefore, at the time that autovac_balance_cost() was called, workers vacuuming tables with no cost-related storage parameters could still have different values for their wi_cost_limit_base and wi_cost_delay. Now that the cost parameters can be updated while vacuuming a table, workers will (within some margin of error) have no reason to have different values for cost limit and cost delay (in the absence of cost-related storage parameters). This removes the rationale for keeping cost limit and cost delay in shared memory. Balancing the cost limit requires only the number of active autovacuum workers vacuuming a table with no cost-based storage parameters.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download/ See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
