Thanks, but you still need to test your patch:
- You need to check your patch with "make check", because it requires
adjustments in "rule" test; Your pg_stat_transaction_function is the
longest name in the system catalog.
- You need to configure postgres with --enable-cassert to enable internal
varidations. The attached test case failed with the following TRAP.
TRAP: FailedAssertion("!(entry->trans == ((void *)0))", File: "pgstat.c", Line:
715)
TRAP: FailedAssertion("!(tabstat->trans == trans)", File: "pgstat.c", Line:
1758)

For the above trap, we can see the comment:
/* Shouldn't have any pending transaction-dependent counts */
We don't expect to read stats entries during transactions. I'm not sure
whether accessing transitional stats during transaction is safe or not.
We might need to go other directions, for example:
- Use "session stats" instead "transaction stats". You can see the same
information in difference of counters between before and after the
transaction.
- Export pgBufferUsage instead of relation counters. They are
buffer counters for all relations, but we can obviously export
them because they are just plain variables.
