Rename lazy_scan_skip() to heap_vac_scan_next_block() and move more code into the function, so that the caller doesn't need to know about ranges or skipping anymore. heap_vac_scan_next_block() returns the next block to process, and the logic for determining that block is all within the function. This makes the skipping logic easier to understand, as it's all in the same function, and makes the calling code easier to understand as it's less cluttered. The state variables needed to manage the skipping logic are moved to LVRelState. heap_vac_scan_next_block() now manages its own VM buffer separately from the caller's vmbuffer variable. The caller's vmbuffer holds the VM page for the current block its processing, while heap_vac_scan_next_block() keeps a pin on the VM page for the next unskippable block. Most of the time they are the same, so we hold two pins on the same buffer, but it's more convenient to manage them separately. For readability inside heap_vac_scan_next_block(), move the logic of finding the next unskippable block to separate function, and add some comments. This refactoring will also help future patches to switch to using a streaming read interface, and eventually AIO (https://postgr.es/m/CA%2BhUKGJkOiOCa%2Bmag4BF%2BzHo7qo%3Do9CFheB8%3Dg6uT5TUm2gkvA%40mail.gmail.com) Author: Melanie Plageman, Heikki Linnakangas Reviewed-by: Andres Freund (older version) Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAAKRu_Yf3gvXGcCnqqfoq0Q8LX8UM-e-qbm_B1LeZh60f8WhWA%40mail.gmail.com
