From: Michael Paquier Date: Fri, 4 Jul 2025 06:10:19 +0000 (+0900) Subject: Disable commit timestamps during bootstrap X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=refs%2Fheads%2FREL_17_STABLE;p=thirdparty%2Fpostgresql.git Disable commit timestamps during bootstrap Attempting to use commit timestamps during bootstrapping leads to an assertion failure, that can be reached for example with an initdb -c that enables track_commit_timestamp. It makes little sense to register a commit timestamp for a BootstrapTransactionId, so let's disable the activation of the module in this case. This problem has been independently reported once by each author of this commit. Each author has proposed basically the same patch, relying on IsBootstrapProcessingMode() to skip the use of commit_ts during bootstrap. The test addition is a suggestion by me, and is applied down to v16.
