Thanks for the patch, my comments from the initial review:
1) Since we have changed the macros to inline functions, should we
change the function names similar to the other inline functions in the
same file like: ClearBufferTag, InitBufferTag & BufferTagsEqual:
-#define BUFFERTAGS_EQUAL(a,b) \
-( \
- RelFileLocatorEquals((a).rlocator, (b).rlocator) && \
- (a).blockNum == (b).blockNum && \
- (a).forkNum == (b).forkNum \
-)
+static inline void
+CLEAR_BUFFERTAG(BufferTag *tag)
+{
+ tag->rlocator.spcOid = InvalidOid;
+ tag->rlocator.dbOid = InvalidOid;
+ tag->rlocator.relNumber = InvalidRelFileNumber;
+ tag->forkNum = InvalidForkNumber;
+ tag->blockNum = InvalidBlockNumber;
+}
2) We could move this macros along with the other macros at the top of the file:
+/*
+ * The freeNext field is either the index of the next freelist entry,
+ * or one of these special values:
+ */
+#define FREENEXT_END_OF_LIST (-1)
+#define FREENEXT_NOT_IN_LIST (-2)
3) typo thn should be then:
+ * can raise it as necessary if we end up with more mapped relations. For
+ * now, we just pick a round number that is modestly larger thn the expected
+ * number of mappings.
+ */
4) There is one whitespace issue:
git am v10-0004-Widen-relfilenumber-from-32-bits-to-56-bits.patch
Applying: Widen relfilenumber from 32 bits to 56 bits
.git/rebase-apply/patch:1500: space before tab in indent.
(relfilenumber)))); \
