Bruce Momjian ed63689b43 This patch fixes the event type used to log output from the
stderr-in-service or output-from-syslogger-in-service code. Previously
everything was flagged as ERRORs there, which caused all instances to
log "LOG: logger shutting down" as error...

Please apply for 8.1. I'd also like it considered for 8.0 since logging
non-errors as errors can be cause for alarm amongst people who actually
look at their logs...

Here we go, that wasn't too hard :-)

Apart from adding the error handling, it does one more thing: it changes
the errormode when loading the DLLs. Previously if a DLL was broken, or
referenced other DLLs that couldn't be found, a popup dialog box would
appear on the screen. Which had to be clicked before the backend could
continue. This patch also disables the popup error message for DLL
loads.

I think this is something we should consider doing for the entire
backend - disable those popups, and say we deal with it ourselves. What
do you other win32 hackers thinnk about this?

In the meantime, this patch fixes the error msgs. Please apply for 8.1
and please consider a backpatch to 8.0.

Yeah, its not that exciting but that error message would throw your
average user.

I've attached a patch which calls CommandCounterIncrement() in each of the
grant loops.

Tom Lane 3ae7e4a33b Remove BufferBlockPointers array in favor of a base + (bufnum) * BLCKSZ
computation.  On modern machines this is as fast if not faster, and we
don't have to clog the CPU's L2 cache with a tens-of-KB pointer array.
If we ever decide to adopt a more dynamic allocation method for shared
buffers, we'll probably have to revert this patch, but in the meantime
we might as well save a few bytes and nanoseconds.  Per Qingqing Zhou.

Tom Lane 721e53785d Solve the problem of OID collisions by probing for duplicate OIDs
whenever we generate a new OID.  This prevents occasional duplicate-OID
errors that can otherwise occur once the OID counter has wrapped around.
Duplicate relfilenode values are also checked for when creating new
physical files.  Per my recent proposal.

Tom Lane c7bba5e21c Make backends that are reading the pgstats file verify each backend PID
against the PGPROC array.  Anything in the file that isn't in PGPROC
gets rejected as being a stale entry.  This should solve complaints about
stale entries in pg_stat_activity after a BETERM message has been dropped
due to overload.

Tom Lane 15269b5955 Avoid useless loop overhead in AtEOXact routines when the backend is
compiled with USE_ASSERT_CHECKING but is running with assert_enabled false.
2005-08-08 19:44:22 +00:00
Tom Lane 4568e0f791 Modify AtEOXact_CatCache and AtEOXact_RelationCache to assume that the
ResourceOwner mechanism already released all reference counts for the
cache entries; therefore, we do not need to scan the catcache or relcache
at transaction end, unless we want to do it as a debugging crosscheck.
Do the crosscheck only in Assert mode.  This is the same logic we had
previously installed in AtEOXact_Buffers to avoid overhead with large
numbers of shared buffers.  I thought it'd be a good idea to do it here
too, in view of Kari Lavikka's recent report showing a real-world case
where AtEOXact_CatCache is taking a significant fraction of runtime.

order of operations during shutdown is predictable and what you would
expect given the module layering.
