Andres Freund dad50f677c bufmgr: Acquire and clean victim buffer separately
Previously we held buffer locks for two buffer mapping partitions at the same
time to change the identity of buffers.  Particularly for extending relations
needing to hold the extension lock while acquiring a victim buffer is
painful.But it also creates a bottleneck for workloads that just involve
reads.

Now we instead first acquire a victim buffer and write it out, if
necessary. Then we remove that buffer from the old partition with just the old
partition's partition lock held and insert it into the new partition with just
that partition's lock held.

By separating out the victim buffer acquisition, future commits will be able
to change relation extensions to scale better.

On my workstation, a micro-benchmark exercising buffered reads strenuously and
under a lot of concurrency, sees a >2x improvement.

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
