Subject: Fix some more bugs in signal handlers and process shutdown logic.
X-Git-Tag: REL9_3_3~44
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6f1a4077310e97fe32379263918a31b95f85e2ed;p=postgresql

Fix some more bugs in signal handlers and process shutdown logic.

WalSndKill was doing things exactly backwards: it should first clear
MyWalSnd (to stop signal handlers from touching MyWalSnd->latch),
then disown the latch, and only then mark the WalSnd struct unused by
clearing its pid field.

Also, WalRcvSigUsr1Handler and worker_spi_sighup failed to preserve
errno, which is surely a requirement for any signal handler.

Per discussion of recent buildfarm failures.  Back-patch as far
as the relevant code exists.
