4 * This program acts as a clearing house for requests to the
5 * POSTGRES system. Frontend programs send a startup message
6 * to the Postmaster and the postmaster uses the info in the
7 * message to setup a backend process.
9 * The postmaster also manages system-wide operations such as
10 * startup, shutdown, and periodic checkpoints. The postmaster
11 * itself doesn't do those operations, mind you --- it just forks
12 * off a subprocess to do them at the right times. It also takes
13 * care of resetting the system if a backend crashes.
15 * The postmaster process creates the shared memory and semaphore
16 * pools during startup, but as a rule does not touch them itself.
17 * In particular, it is not a member of the PGPROC array of backends
18 * and so it cannot participate in lock-manager operations. Keeping
19 * the postmaster away from shared memory operations makes it simpler
20 * and more reliable. The postmaster is almost always able to recover
21 * from crashes of individual backends by resetting shared memory;
22 * if it did much with shared memory then it would be prone to crashing
23 * along with the backends.
25 * When a request message is received, we now fork() immediately.
26 * The child process performs authentication of the request, and
27 * then becomes a backend if successful. This allows the auth code
28 * to be written in a simple single-threaded style (as opposed to the
29 * crufty "poor man's multitasking" code that used to be needed).
30 * More importantly, it ensures that blockages in non-multithreaded
31 * libraries like SSL or PAM cannot cause denial of service to other

45 * The Postmaster sets up a few shared memory data structures
46 * for the backends. It should at the very least initialize the
50 * The Postmaster shares memory with the backends but should avoid
51 * touching shared memory, so as not to become stuck if a crashing
52 * backend screws up locks or shared memory. Likewise, the Postmaster
53 * should never block on messages from frontend clients.
56 * The Postmaster cleans up after backends if they have an emergency
57 * exit and/or core dump.
