Hi Karl,

I've attached the v15 of the patch that applies your changes/fixes and
remove the call to strtok().

I've not applied patch patch_pg_current_logfile-v14.diff.backoff to
prevent constant call of logfile_writename() on a busy system (errno =
ENFILE | EMFILE). I think this can be done quite simply by testing if
log rotate is still enabled. This is possible because function
logfile_rotate() is already testing if  errno = ENFILE | EMFILE and in
this case rotation_disabled is set to true. So the following test should
do the work:

               if (log_metainfo_stale && !rotation_disabled)
                       logfile_writename();

This is included in v15 patch.

I've also not added patches
patch_pg_current_logfile-v14.diff.conditional,
patch_pg_current_logfile-v14.diff.logdest_change and
patch_pg_current_logfile-v14.diff.logdest_change-part2 because the case
your are trying to fix with lot of code can not appears. You said that
when csv logging is turned back on, the stale csv path is written to
current_logfiles. This is not the case, last_csv_file_name is
immediately changed when the log file is open, see open_csvlogfile().
After running your use case I was not able to reproduce the bug you are
describing.

Again, patches patch_pg_current_logfile-v14.diff.doc_linux_default-v2
have not been included because I don't see any reason to talk especially
about systemd. If you talk about systemd you must talk about other
stderr handler by all systems. IMO saying that current_logfile is
present only if logging_collector is enabled and log_destination include
stderr or/and csvlog is enough, no need to talk about systemd and
behavior of Linux distributions.

Regards
