Is it safe to assume that, under "#ifdef LWLOCK_STATS", a call to LWLockAcquire will always precede any calls to LWLockWaitUntilFree when a new process is started, to calloc the stats assays? I guess it is right now, because the only user is WALWrite, which would never be acquired before WALInsert is at least once. But this doesn't seem very future proof. I guess the same complain could be logged against LWLockConditionalAcquire. Since people wouldn't be expected to define LWLOCK_STATS on production builds, perhaps this issue is ignorable.
