Thanks!
So, I created the patches for back-patching from 10 to 14. (With
fixed a silly bug of the v1-pg14 that HaveVirtualXIDsDelayingChkpt and
HaveVirtualXIDsDelayingChkptEnd are inverted..)
They revert delayChkpt-related changes made by the patch and add
delayChkptEnd stuff. I compared among every pair of the patches for
neighbouring versions, to make sure not making the same change in
different way and they have the same set of hunks.
This version takes the way sharing the common static function
(*ChkptGuts) between the functions *Chkpt() and *ChkptEnd().
regards.
