Right. Interestingly, there are 2 SLRU flush related wait events
WAIT_EVENT_SLRU_SYNC ("Waiting for SLRU data to reach durable storage
following a page write") and WAIT_EVENT_SLRU_FLUSH_SYNC ("Waiting for
SLRU data to reach durable storage during a checkpoint or database
shutdown"). And, we're counting the SLRU flushes in two of these
places into one single stat variable. These two events look confusing
and may be useful if shown in an aggregated way.

A possible way is to move existing pgstat_count_slru_flush in
SimpleLruWriteAll closer to pg_fsync and WAIT_EVENT_SLRU_SYNC in
SlruPhysicalWritePage, remove WAIT_EVENT_SLRU_FLUSH_SYNC completely,
use WAIT_EVENT_SLRU_SYNC in SlruSyncFileTag and count the flushes in
SlruSyncFileTag. This aggregated way is much simpler IMV.

Another possible way is to have separate stat variables for each of
the SLRU flushes WAIT_EVENT_SLRU_SYNC and WAIT_EVENT_SLRU_FLUSH_SYNC
and expose them separately in pg_stat_slru. I don't like this
approach.

Thanks. Indeed it contains mechanical changes.

I think these column names are a good fit in this context as we can't
just call timed/requested/write/sync and having "checkpoint" makes the
column names long unnecessarily. FWIW, I see some of the user-exposed
field names starting with num_* (num_nonnulls, num_nulls, num_lwlocks,
num_transactions).

+1. Changed in the attached v10-0001.

+1. Changed in the attached v10-001. FWIW, having a test case in
stats.sql emitting this error message and hint would have helped here.
If okay, I can add one.

PS: I'll park the SLRU flush related patch aside until the approach is
finalized. I'm posting the pg_stat_checkpointer patch as v10-0001.

Subject: [PATCH v10] Introduce a new view for checkpointer related stats

pg_stat_bgwriter view currently reports checkpointer stats as
well. It has been that way so far because historically
checkpointer was part of bgwriter until the commits 806a2ae and
bf405ba separated them out way back in PG 9.2.

It is time for us to separate checkpointer stats to its own view
called pg_stat_checkpointer.

Bump catalog version.
