 *
 * autoprewarm.c
 *      Periodically dump information about the blocks present in
 *      shared_buffers, and reload them on server restart.
 *
 *      Due to locking considerations, we can't actually begin prewarming
 *      until the server reaches a consistent state.  We need the catalogs
 *      to be consistent so that we can figure out which relation to lock,
 *      and we need to lock the relations so that we don't try to prewarm
 *      pages from a relation that is in the process of being dropped.
 *
 *      While prewarming, autoprewarm will use two workers.  There's a
 *      leader worker that reads and sorts the list of blocks to be
 *      prewarmed and then launches a per-database worker for each
 *      relevant database in turn.  The former keeps running after the
 *      initial prewarm is complete to update the dump file periodically.
