If a user started a bulk write operation on a fork with existing data to append data in bulk, the bulk_write machinery would zero out all previously written pages up to the last page written by the new bulk_write operation. This is not an issue for PostgreSQL itself, because we never use the bulk_write facility on a non-empty fork. But there are use cases where it makes sense. TimescaleDB extension is known to do that to merge partitions, for example. Backpatch to v17, where the bulk_write machinery was introduced.
