* Update parallel executor support to reuse the same DSM.Robert Haas2015-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit b0b0d84b3d663a148022e900ebfc164284a95f55 purported to make it possible to relaunch workers using the same parallel context, but it had an unpleasant race condition: we might reinitialize after the workers have sent their last control message but before they have dettached the DSM, leaving to crashes. Repair by introducing a new ParallelContext operation, ReinitializeParallelDSM. Adjust execParallel.c to use this new support, so that we can rescan a Gather node by relaunching workers but without needing to recreate the DSM. Amit Kapila, with some adjustments by me. Extracted from latest parallel sequential scan patch.
* Allow a parallel context to relaunch workers.Robert Haas2015-10-16
| | | | | | | | | This may allow some callers to avoid the overhead involved in tearing down a parallel context and then setting up a new one, which means releasing the DSM and then allocating and populating a new one. I suspect we'll want to revise the Gather node to make use of this new capability, but even if not it may be useful elsewhere and requires very little additional code.
* Fix a problem with parallel workers being unable to restore role.Robert Haas2015-10-16
| | | | | | | | | check_role() tries to verify that the user has permission to become the requested role, but this is inappropriate in a parallel worker, which needs to exactly recreate the master's authorization settings. So skip the check in that case. This fixes a bug in commit 924bcf4f16d54c55310b28f77686608684734f42.

This does four basic things. First, it provides convenience routines to coordinate the startup and shutdown of parallel workers. Second, it synchronizes various pieces of state (e.g. GUCs, combo CID mappings, transaction snapshot) from the parallel group leader to the worker processes. Third, it prohibits various operations that would result in unsafe changes to that state while parallelism is active. Finally, it propagates events that would result in an ErrorResponse, NoticeResponse, or NotifyResponse message being sent to the client from the parallel workers back to the master, from which they can then be sent on to the client.
