I apologize for not being active on this thread. However, I have now
returned to the thread and confirmed that the inconsistency is still
present in the latest code. I believe it’s crucial to address this
issue, and I am currently submitting the v5 version of the patch. The
v4 version had addressed the feedback from Bharath, Kyotaro, Andres,
and Robert. The current version has been rebased to incorporate
Vignesh’s suggestions. In response to Michael’s comments, I’ve moved
the new ‘slru_written’ column from the ‘pg_stat_bgwriter’ view to the
‘pg_stat_checkpointer’ in the attached patch.
To summarize our discussions, we’ve reached a consensus to correct the
mismatch between the information on buffers written as displayed in
the ‘pg_stat_checkpointer’ view and the checkpointer log message.
We’ve also agreed to separate the SLRU buffers data from the buffers
written and present the SLRU buffers data in a distinct field.
I have created the new commitfest entry here
https://commitfest.postgresql.org/49/5130/.
Kindly share if any comments.
