Ugh, that seems like a silly oversight. Does it fix the reported problem?
If I understand correctly, the commit message would be something like this:
==
Don't auto-restart per-database autoprewarm workers.
We should try to prewarm each database only once. Otherwise, if
prewarming fails for some reason, it will just keep retrying in an
infnite loop. The existing code was intended to implement this
behavior, but because it neglected to set worker.bgw_restart_time, the
per-database workers keep restarting, contrary to what was intended.
