Subject: Allocate enough shared string memory for stats of auxiliary processes.
X-Git-Tag: REL_10_4~38
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=93b3d43dc1880b2dafb8ccbb16700dab5cc3c6e7;p=postgresql

Allocate enough shared string memory for stats of auxiliary processes.

This fixes a bug whereby the st_appname, st_clienthostname, and
st_activity_raw fields for auxiliary processes point beyond the end of
their respective shared memory segments. As a result, the application_name
of a backend might show up as the client hostname of an auxiliary process.

Backpatch to v10, where this bug was introduced, when the auxiliary
processes were added to the array.
