Well, how about just keeping original implementation: shutdown atomic write for
those files which are really affect fggc? Since intention of the original
behavior is targeting to abnormal atomic write usage, e.g. open atomic_write
file for very long time, then fggc will be blocked each time when moving its
block. So shutdown it, fggc will recover.

Thanks,
