IIUC, we do check that it should be in multiple of bank size (i.e.)
which is multiple of 2, right? Am I missing something?
/*
* Helper function for GUC check_hook to check whether slru buffers are in
* multiples of SLRU_BANK_SIZE.
*/
bool
check_slru_buffers(const char *name, int *newval)
{
/* Valid values are multiples of SLRU_BANK_SIZE */
if (*newval % SLRU_BANK_SIZE == 0)
return true;
GUC_check_errdetail("\"%s\" must be a multiple of %d", name,
SLRU_BANK_SIZE);
return false;
}
