Relation forks didn't change anything inside relation files, so no
scanning of relations is required because of that. Neither will the
FSM rewrite. Not sure about DSM yet.
Does it mean, that if you "inject" old data file after catalog
upgrade, then FSM will works without any problem?
Yes. You'll need to construct an FSM, but it doesn't necessarily need to
reflect the reality. You could just fill it with zeros, meaning that
there's no free space anywhere, and let the next vacuum fill it with
real information. Or you could read the old pg_fsm.cache file and fill
the new FSM accordingly.
I think zeroed FSM is good, because new items should not be added on to old
page.
