This is weird as well. What is this supposed to do? Just locking and
unlocking a buffer header doesn't do squat? There's no guarantee that
the flags haven't changed by this point, so you could just as well not
acquire the buffer header lock.
Also, why are pages without a valid tag ignored? I can follow the
argument for skipping it in the DIRTY case, but that doesn't apply for
BM_TAG_VALID?
Greetings,
Andres Freund
