 *
 * smgr.c
 *    public interface routines to storage manager switch.
 *
 * All file system operations on relations dispatch through these routines.
 * An SMgrRelation represents physical on-disk relation files that are open
 * for reading and writing.
 *
 * When a relation is first accessed through the relation cache, the
 * corresponding SMgrRelation entry is opened by calling smgropen(), and the
 * reference is stored in the relation cache entry.
 *
 * Accesses that don't go through the relation cache open the SMgrRelation
 * directly.  That includes flushing buffers from the buffer cache, as well as
 * all accesses in auxiliary processes like the checkpointer or the WAL redo
 * in the startup process.
 *
 * Operations like CREATE, DROP, ALTER TABLE also hold SMgrRelation references
 * independent of the relation cache.  They need to prepare the physical files
 * before updating the relation cache.
 *
 * There is a hash table that holds all the SMgrRelation entries in the
 * backend.  If you call smgropen() twice for the same rel locator, you get a
 * reference to the same SMgrRelation. The reference is valid until the end of
 * transaction.  This makes repeated access to the same relation efficient,
 * and allows caching things like the relation size in the SMgrRelation entry.
 *
 * At end of transaction, all SMgrRelation entries that haven't been pinned
 * are removed.  An SMgrRelation can hold kernel file system descriptors for
 * the underlying files, and we'd like to close those reasonably soon if the
 * file gets deleted.  The SMgrRelations references held by the relcache are
 * pinned to prevent them from being closed.
 *
 * There is another mechanism to close file descriptors early:
 * PROCSIGNAL_BARRIER_SMGRRELEASE.  It is a request to immediately close all
 * file descriptors.  Upon receiving that signal, the backend closes all file
 * descriptors held open by SMgrRelations, but because it can happen in the
 * middle of a transaction, we cannot destroy the SMgrRelation objects
 * themselves, as there could pointers to them in active use.  See
 * smgrrelease() and smgrreleaseall().

 *
 * This is to be used only for updating already-existing blocks of a
 * relation (ie, those before the current EOF).  To extend a relation,
 * use smgrextend().
 *
 * This is not a synchronous write -- the block is not necessarily
 * on disk at return, only dumped out to the kernel.  However,
 * provisions will be made to fsync the write before the next checkpoint.
 *
 * NB: The mechanism to ensure fsync at next checkpoint assumes that there is
 * something that prevents a concurrent checkpoint from "racing ahead" of the
 * write.  One way to prevent that is by holding a lock on the buffer; the
 * buffer manager's writes are protected by that.  The bulk writer facility
 * in bulk_write.c checks the redo pointer and calls smgrimmedsync() if a
 * checkpoint happened; that relies on the fact that no other backend can be
 * concurrently modifying the page.
 *
 * skipFsync indicates that the caller will make other provisions to
 * fsync the relation, so we needn't bother.  Temporary relations also
 * do not require fsync.
