Hi,
I noticed that FlushUnlockedBuffer() accepts io_object and io_context, but then ignores them and hardcodes
IOOBJECT_RELATIONandIOCONTEXT_NORMAL instead:
```
static void
FlushUnlockedBuffer(BufferDesc *buf, SMgrRelation reln,
IOObject io_object, IOContext io_context)
{
Buffer buffer = BufferDescriptorGetBuffer(buf);
BufferLockAcquire(buffer, buf, BUFFER_LOCK_SHARE_EXCLUSIVE);
FlushBuffer(buf, reln, IOOBJECT_RELATION, IOCONTEXT_NORMAL); // <== HERE
BufferLockUnlock(buffer, buf);
}
```
Unless I am missing something, if a function accepts these parameters, they should generally be used.
FlushBuffer() seems to have the same issue. It takes both io_object and io_context:
```
static void
FlushBuffer(BufferDesc *buf, SMgrRelation reln, IOObject io_object,
IOContext io_context)
```
but while io_context is used, io_object is ignored:
```
pgstat_count_io_op_time(IOOBJECT_RELATION, io_context,
IOOP_WRITE, io_start, 1, BLCKSZ);
```
For comparison, in AsyncReadBuffers(), where io_object is also available locally, it is passed through and used
directly:
```
pgstat_count_io_op_time(io_object, io_context, IOOP_READ,
io_start, 1, io_buffers_len * BLCKSZ);
```
I raised the same point while reviewing patch [1], but that patch has not been updated yet.
This tiny patch just makes FlushUnlockedBuffer() and FlushBuffer() use the io_object and io_context values passed in by
thecaller.
