From 7b8c2de64e66659115c1e4075c025d6392d659ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Paquier Date: Fri, 1 Nov 2019 22:38:45 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] Fix race condition at backend exit when deleting element in syncrep queue When a backend exits, it gets deleted from the syncrep queue if present. The queue was checked without SyncRepLock taken in exclusive mode, so it would have been possible for a backend to remove itself after a WAL sender already did the job. Fix this issue based on a suggestion from Fujii Masao, by first checking the queue without the lock. Then, if the backend is present in the queue, take the lock and perform an additional lookup check before doing the element deletion.
