Attached quick-and-dirty prototype patch shows how this could work. It fully avoids calling BufferGetLSNAtomic() from _bt_readpage() during index-only scans. I find that "meson test" passes with the patch applied (I'm reasonably confident that this general approach is correct). Does this patch of mine actually fix the regressions that you're concerned about? -- Peter Geoghegan
