Glad I could help.

Commits

  1. Combine FSM updates for prune and no-prune cases.

  2. Remove LVPagePruneState.

  3. Move VM update code from lazy_scan_heap() to lazy_scan_prune().

  4. Optimize vacuuming of relations with no indexes.

  5. Be more consistent about whether to update the FSM while vacuuming.

  6. Remove hastup from LVPagePruneState.

  7. Use scanned_pages to decide when to failsafe check.

  8. Simplify lazy_scan_heap's handling of scanned pages.

  9. While vacuuming a large table, update upper-level FSM data every so often.
