I believe there is a bug with PageIsAllVisible(page) && visibilitymap_clear(). But I cannot prove it with an injection point test. Because injections points rely on CondVar, that per se creates corruption in critical section. So I'm reading this discussion and wonder if CondVar will be fixed in some clever way or I'd better invent new injection point wait mechanism.
