I think this can be useful. One minor comment: + elog(DEBUG1, "got new catalog_xmin %u at %X/%X", xmin, + (uint32) (current_lsn >> 32), (uint32) current_lsn);
Isn't it better to use LSN_FORMAT_ARGS for current_lsn?
Thanks for reminding me about that. :).
Attached revised patch.
Also, there doesn't seem to be any urgency for adding this, so you can register it for the next CF so that we can add this when the branch opens for PG-15.
It's there in CF. I am fine with PG-15. It will be good to patch the back-branches to have this extra diagnostic information available.
