I've reviewed the patch. Here is one comment:
if (vacrel->num_index_scans == 0 &&
- vacrel->rel_pages <= FAILSAFE_MIN_PAGES)
+ vacrel->rel_pages <= FAILSAFE_EVERY_PAGES)
return false;
Since there is the condition "vacrel->num_index_scans == 0" we could
enter the failsafe mode even if the table is less than 4GB, if we
enter lazy_check_wraparound_failsafe() after executing more than one
index scan. Whereas a vacuum on the table that is less than 4GB and
has no index never enters the failsafe mode. I think we can remove
this condition since I don't see the reason why we don't allow to
enter the failsafe mode only when the first-time index scan in the
case of such tables. What do you think?
