* The attached patch improves pg_ctl's win32 service code to eliminateBruce Momjian2004-08-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | some possible causes of the stale postmaster.pid problem that some users have reported. - The service did not properly report that it accepts SERVICE_CONTROL_SHUTDOWN events, thus it's possible the SCM simply killed the postmaster on shutdown. - 'WaitHints' are now given to the SCM to prevent it timing out if pg_ctl doesn't respond to a control event quickly enough. - During shutdown, the service checkpoint counter is incremented every five seconds for up to a minute to prevent the SCM timing out and assuming the service is not responding.

Please find attached a small patch against current CVS head that fixes pgport library installation so that it goes to libdir instead of pkglibdir. It works for me. Fabien Coelho

* Rearrange order of operations in heap_drop_with_catalog and index_dropTom Lane2004-08-28
| | | | | | | | | | so that we close and flush the doomed relation's relcache entry before we start to delete the underlying catalog rows, rather than afterwards. For awhile yesterday I thought that an unexpected relcache entry rebuild partway through this sequence might explain the infrequent parallel regression failures we were chasing. It doesn't, mainly because there's no CommandCounterIncrement in the sequence and so the deletions aren't "really" done yet. But it sure seems like trouble waiting to happen.

* Fix relcache to account properly for subtransaction status of 'new'Tom Lane2004-08-28
| | | | | | | | | relcache entries. Also, change TransactionIdIsCurrentTransactionId() so that if consulted during transaction abort, it will not say that the aborted xact is still current. (It would be better to ensure that it's never called at all during abort, but I'm not sure we can easily guarantee that.) In combination, these fix a crash we have seen occasionally during parallel regression tests of 8.0.
* Further tightening of the array literal parser. Prevent junkJoe Conway2004-08-28

* Introduce local hash table for lock state, as per recent proposal.Tom Lane2004-08-27
| | | | | | | | | PROCLOCK structs in shared memory now have only a bitmask for held locks, rather than counts (making them 40 bytes smaller, which is a good thing). Multiple locks within a transaction are counted in the local hash table instead, and we have provision for tracking which ResourceOwner each count belongs to. Solves recently reported problem with memory leakage within long transactions.

* Revise ResourceOwner code to avoid accumulating ResourceOwner objectsTom Lane2004-08-25
| | | | | | | | | | for every command executed within a transaction. For long transactions this was a significant memory leak. Instead, we can delete a portal's or subtransaction's ResourceOwner immediately, if we physically transfer the information about its locks up to the parent owner. This does not fully solve the leak problem; we need to do something about counting multiple acquisitions of the same lock in order to fix it. But it's a necessary step along the way.

| | | | | | | updates are no longer WAL-logged nor even fsync'd; we do not need to, since after a crash no old pg_subtrans data is needed again. We truncate pg_subtrans to RecentGlobalXmin at each checkpoint. slru.c's API is refactored a little bit to separate out the necessary decisions.

| | | | | | | | | | RecentXmin (== MyProc->xmin). This ensures that it will be safe to truncate pg_subtrans at RecentGlobalXmin, which should largely eliminate any fear of bloat. Along the way, eliminate SubTransXidsHaveCommonAncestor, which isn't really needed and could not give a trustworthy result anyway under the lookback restriction. In an unrelated but nearby change, #ifdef out GetUndoRecPtr, which has been dead code since 2001 and seems unlikely to ever be resurrected.
