29 * System interrupt and critical section handling
31 * There are two types of interrupts that a running backend needs to accept
32 * without messing up its state: QueryCancel (SIGINT) and ProcDie (SIGTERM).
33 * In both cases, we need to be able to clean up the current transaction
34 * gracefully, so we can't respond to the interrupt instantaneously ---
35 * there's no guarantee that internal data structures would be self-consistent
36 * if the code is interrupted at an arbitrary instant. Instead, the signal
37 * handlers set flags that are checked periodically during execution.
39 * The CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() macro is called at strategically located spots
40 * where it is normally safe to accept a cancel or die interrupt. In some
41 * cases, we invoke CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() inside low-level subroutines that
42 * might sometimes be called in contexts that do *not* want to allow a cancel
43 * or die interrupt. The HOLD_INTERRUPTS() and RESUME_INTERRUPTS() macros
44 * allow code to ensure that no cancel or die interrupt will be accepted,
45 * even if CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() gets called in a subroutine. The interrupt
46 * will be held off until CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() is done outside any
47 * HOLD_INTERRUPTS() ... RESUME_INTERRUPTS() section.
49 * Special mechanisms are used to let an interrupt be accepted when we are
50 * waiting for a lock or when we are waiting for command input (but, of
51 * course, only if the interrupt holdoff counter is zero). See the
52 * related code for details.
54 * A related, but conceptually distinct, mechanism is the "critical section"
55 * mechanism. A critical section not only holds off cancel/die interrupts,
56 * but causes any ereport(ERROR) or ereport(FATAL) to become ereport(PANIC)
57 * --- that is, a system-wide reset is forced. Needless to say, only really
58 * *critical* code should be marked as a critical section! Currently, this
59 * mechanism is only used for XLOG-related code.
