Not a problem with unsetting MyBEEntry. But the search for problems made me
reread the following comment:
/*
* There's no need for a lock around pgstat_begin_read_activity /
* pgstat_end_read_activity here as it's only called from
* pg_stat_get_activity which is already protected, or from the same
* backend which means that there won't be concurrent writes.
*/
I don't understand the pg_stat_get_activity() part of this comment?
pgstat_get_my_query_id() hardcodes MyBEEntry->st_query_id, so it can't be
useful to pg_stat_get_activity(), nor is it used there?
I assume it's just a remnant from an earlier iteration of the code?
