For example, if a slot of internal node of fsm tree has a value
greater than the threshold while the root of leaf node of fsm tree has
a value less than threshold, we want to update the internal node of
fsm tree but we will skip it with your patch. I wonder if this can
happen.

Yes, but the purpose of this patch is to prevent table bloating from
concurrent modifications?
Here is other review comments.
+ /* Tree pruning for partial vacuums */
+ if (threshold)
+ {
+ child_avail = fsm_get_avail(page, slot);
+ if (child_avail >= threshold)
+ continue;
+ }
'child_avail' is a category value while 'threshold' is an actual size
of freespace.
The logic of finding the max_freespace seems not work fine if table
with indices because max_freespace is not updated based on
post-compaction freespace. I think we need to get the max freespace
size during vacuuming heap (i.g. at lazy_vacuum_heap) and use it as
the threshold.
+ vacuum_fsm_every_pages = nblocks / 8;
+ vacuum_fsm_every_pages = Max(vacuum_fsm_every_pages, 1048576);
I think a comment for 1048576 is needed. And perhaps we can define it
as a macro.
