Thanks for the patch!

I did not look at the code yet but did a few tests.
I can see diff between pg_stat_wal and pg_stat_io, for example:

"
postgres=# select pg_stat_reset_shared();
 pg_stat_reset_shared
----------------------

(1 row)

postgres=# insert into bdt select a from generate_series(1,200000) a ;
INSERT 0 200000

postgres=# select wal_bytes,stats_reset from pg_stat_wal;
 wal_bytes |          stats_reset
-----------+-------------------------------
  11800088 | 2025-01-24 14:17:28.507994+00
(1 row)

postgres=# select sum(write_bytes),stats_reset from pg_stat_io where object = 'wal' group by stats_reset;
   sum    |          stats_reset
----------+-------------------------------
 12853248 | 2025-01-24 14:17:28.507988+00
(1 row)

Is that expected?
