Or actually, maybe we should just drop the lstat call altogether? AFAICS it's 99.99% redundant with the lstat that traverse_datadir has done nanoseconds before. Yeah, maybe somebody managed to drop the file in between, but the FILE_ACTION_REMOVE code would have to deal with such cases anyway in case a drop occurs later. regards, tom lane
