Some more comments
1.
ReorderBufferSequenceIsTransactional and ReorderBufferSequenceGetXid
are duplicated except the first one is just confirming whether
relfilelocator was created in the transaction or not and the other is
returning the XID as well so I think these two could be easily merged
so that we can avoid duplicate codes.
2.
/*
+ * ReorderBufferTransferSequencesToParent
+ * Copy the relfilenode entries to the parent after assignment.
+ */
+static void
+ReorderBufferTransferSequencesToParent(ReorderBuffer *rb,
+ ReorderBufferTXN *txn,
+ ReorderBufferTXN *subtxn)
If we agree with my comment in the previous email (i.e. the first WAL
by a subxid will always include topxid) then we do not need this
function at all and always add relfilelocator directly to the top
transaction and we never need to transfer.
That is all I have for now while first pass of 0001, later I will do a
more detailed review and will look into other patches also.
