Unintentionally and it is a good idea, will add back.

Because this is prefetch and fixing the pages is only a side effect of reading them without any latch, it does not serve any purpose besides increasing buffer pool pressure temporarily a tiny bit (the fixing is until the end of fake changes trx, so I expect it to be short).

In both cases the pages still might get evicted from LRU before the real transaction comes that uses those pages, which is a workload timing issue, not really fixable at the code level.

I will add a comment.

Bad habit :)
