Nope. I'll try to explain using some pseudo-code:
XLogRecordAssemble()
{
....
include_image = needs_backup || wal_consistency[rmid];
if (include_image)
{
....
set XLogRecordBlockHeader.fork_flags |= BKPBLOCK_HAS_IMAGE;
if (needs_backup)
set XLogRecordBlockImageHeader.bimg_info
|= BKPIMAGE_IS_REQUIRED_FOR_REDO;
....
}
.....
}
XLogReadBufferForRedoExtended()
{
......
if (XLogRecHasBlockImage() && XLogRecHasBlockImageForRedo())
{
RestoreBlockImage();
....
return BLK_RESTORED;
}
......
}
checkConsistency()
{
....
if (wal_consistency[rmid] && !XLogRecHasBlockImage())
throw error;
.....
}
*XLogRecHasBlockImageForRedo() checks whether bimg_info is set with
BKPIMAGE_IS_REQUIRED_FOR_REDO.
For a backup image any of the followings is possible:
1. consistency should be checked.
2. page should restored.
3. both 1 and 2.
Consistency check can be controlled by a guc parameter. But, standby
should be conveyed whether an image should be restored. For that, we
have used the new flag.
Suggestions?
