Thank you for updating the patch.

I tested the latest version patch.
The followings are my review comments and questions.

* pg_stat_vacuum_progress should have the oid of relation being vacuumed.

When we run "VACUUM;", the all tables of current database will be vacuumed.
So pg_stat_vacuum_progress should have these oid in order to show
which table is vacuumed now.

* progress_message variable in PgBackendStatus is not used at all.
IIRC, progress_message variable is set the description of processing.

* The progress of VACUUM FULL seems wrong.
When I run VACUUM FULL for a table, I got following progress.

postgres(1)=# select * from pg_stat_vacuum_progress ;
-[ RECORD 1 ]-------+------
pid                 | 19190
total_pages         | 1
scanned_pages       | 1
total_heap_pages    | 1
scanned_heap_pages  | 1
total_index_pages   |
scanned_index_pages |
percent_complete    | 100

The table being vacuumed is 400MB, so it's not 1 page table.

* The vacuum by autovacuum is not displayed.
I tested about this by the executing the following queries in a row,
but the vacuum by autovacuum is not displayed,

postgres(1)=# select datname, pid, backend_start, query, state from
pg_stat_activity ;
 datname  |  pid  |         backend_start         |
              query                                   | state
----------+-------+-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+--------
 postgres | 20123 | 2015-09-24 17:44:26.467021+09 | autovacuum: VACUUM
ANALYZE public.hoge                                   | active
 postgres | 19779 | 2015-09-24 17:42:31.57918+09  | select datname,
pid, backend_start, query, state from pg_stat_activity ; | active
(3 rows)

postgres(1)=# selecT * from pg_stat_vacuum_progress ;
 pid | total_pages | scanned_pages | total_heap_pages |
scanned_heap_pages | total_index_pages | scanned_index_pages |
percent_complete

postgres(1)=# select datname, pid, backend_start, query, state from
pg_stat_activity ;
 datname  |  pid  |         backend_start         |
              query                                   | state
----------+-------+-------------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------------------+--------
 postgres | 20123 | 2015-09-24 17:44:26.467021+09 | autovacuum: VACUUM

 postgres | 19779 | 2015-09-24 17:42:31.57918+09  | select datname,

(3 rows)

The vacuuming for hoge table took about 2min, but the progress of
vacuum is never displayed.
Could you check this on your environment?
