Patch on barrier seems too complicated to me right now. I’d propose to focus on KnowAssignedXidsNext patch: it’s clean, simple and effective.

I’ve rebased the patch so that it does not depend on previous step. Please check out it’s current state, if you are OK with it - let’s mark the patch Ready for Committer. Just maybe slightly better commit message would make the patch easier to understand.

Thanks! Best regards, Andrey Borodin.
