Nice post, BTW. I think you should just submit a patch. There was a
similar problem sometime recently with counting mapped files incorrectly
towards the dirty ratio, so your issue has both clear error and
similar-ish precedent.

My comments are slightly tangential, but nonetheless relevant. I don't
think we will be listened to if we have unresolved issues in that area,
if you say you are from PGDG and want it fixed.

Maybe if I said nothing, it would help with LKML, but I say what I see.
Find me a person that thinks our memory management is easy to tune in
comparison to other DBMS.
