From 15fc5e15811337f5a81d4ae44c6149256f6dd15f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Lane Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2016 13:59:56 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Clean up handling of anonymous mmap'd shared-memory segment. Fix detaching of the mmap'd segment to have its own on_shmem_exit callback, rather than piggybacking on the one for detaching from the SysV segment. That was confusing, and given the distance between the two attach calls, it was trouble waiting to happen. Make the detaching calls idempotent by clearing AnonymousShmem to show we've already unmapped. I spent quite a bit of time yesterday trying to find a path that would allow the munmap()'s to be done twice, and while I did not succeed, it seems silly that there's even a question. Make the #ifdef logic less confusing by separating "do we want to use anonymous shmem" from EXEC_BACKEND. Even though there's no current scenario where those conditions are different, it is not helpful for different places in the same file to be testing EXEC_BACKEND for what are fundamentally different reasons. Don't do on_exit_reset() in StartBackgroundWorker(). At best that's useless (InitPostmasterChild would have done it already) and at worst it could zap some callback that's unrelated to shared memory. Improve comments, and simplify the huge_pages enablement logic slightly. Back-patch to 9.4 where hugepage support was introduced. Arguably this should go into 9.3 as well, but the code looks significantly different there, and I doubt it's worth the trouble of adapting the patch given I can't show a live bug. --- src/backend/port/sysv_shmem.c | 127 +++++++++++++++++++----------- src/backend/postmaster/bgworker.c | 1 - 2 files changed, 82 insertions(+), 46 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/backend/port/sysv_shmem.c b/src/backend/port/sysv_shmem.c index 6c442b927a..31972d4f6c 100644 --- a/src/backend/port/sysv_shmem.c +++ b/src/backend/port/sysv_shmem.c @@ -3,8 +3,11 @@ * sysv_shmem.c * Implement shared memory using SysV facilities * - * These routines represent a fairly thin layer on top of SysV shared - * memory functionality. + * These routines used to be a fairly thin layer on top of SysV shared + * memory functionality.
