Pushed. I see a BF which is not related with this commit but a
previous commit for the work in this thread.
See LOGs [1]:
regress_log_035_conflicts
-----------------------------------
[11:16:47.604](0.015s) not ok 24 - the deleted column is removed
[11:16:47.605](0.002s) # Failed test 'the deleted column is removed'
# at /home/bf/bf-build/kestrel/HEAD/pgsql/src/test/subscription/t/035_conflicts.pl
line 562.
Then the corresponding subscriber LOG:
025-09-15 11:16:47.600 CEST [1888170][client backend][1/13:0] INFO:
vacuuming "postgres.public.tab"
2025-09-15 11:16:47.600 CEST [1888170][client backend][1/13:0] INFO:
finished vacuuming "postgres.public.tab": index scans: 0
pages: 0 removed, 1 remain, 1 scanned (100.00% of total), 0 eagerly scanned
tuples: 0 removed, 1 remain, 0 are dead but not yet removable
tuples missed: 1 dead from 1 pages not removed due to cleanup lock contention
removable cutoff: 787, which was 0 XIDs old when operation ended
...
This indicates that the Vacuum is not able to remove the row even
after the slot is advanced because some other background process holds
a lock/pin on the page. I think that is possible because the page was
dirty due to apply of update operation and bgwriter/checkpointer could
try to write such a page.
I'll analyze more tomorrow and share if I have any new findings.
