In addition to the added functions, the pg_buffercache_evict() function now shows whether the buffer was flushed. pg_buffercache_evict_relation(): Evicts all shared buffers in a relation at once. pg_buffercache_evict_all(): Evicts all shared buffers at once. Both functions provide mechanism to evict multiple shared buffers at once. They are designed to address the inefficiency of repeatedly calling pg_buffercache_evict() for each individual buffer, which can be time-consuming when dealing with large shared buffer pools. (e.g., ~477ms vs. ~2576ms for 16GB of fully populated shared buffers). These functions are intended for developer testing and debugging purposes and are available to superusers only. Minimal tests for the new functions are included. Also, there was no test for pg_buffercache_evict(), test for this added too. No new extension version is needed, as it was already increased this release by ba2a3c2302f.

Test extensions and libraries ============================= src/test/modules contains PostgreSQL extensions that are primarily or entirely intended for testing PostgreSQL and/or to serve as example code. The extensions here aren't intended to be installed in a production server and aren't suitable for "real work". Furthermore, while you can do "make install" and "make installcheck" in this directory or its children, it is NOT ADVISABLE to do so with a server containing valuable data. Some of these tests may have undesirable side-effects on roles or other global objects within the tested server. "make installcheck-world" at the top level does not recurse into this directory. Most extensions have their own pg_regress tests or isolationtester specs. Some are also used by tests elsewhere in the tree. If you're adding new hooks or other functionality exposed as C-level API this is where to add the tests for it.
