Robert Haas 07ab1383e3 Fix two more bugs in fast-path relation locking.
First, the previous code failed to account for the fact that, during Hot
Standby operation, the startup process takes AccessExclusiveLocks on
relations without setting MyDatabaseId.  This resulted in fast path
strong lock counts failing to be incremented with the startup process
took locks, which in turn allowed conflicting lock requests to succeed
when they should not have.  Report by Erik Rijkers, diagnosis by Heikki
Linnakangas.

Second, LockReleaseAll() failed to honor the allLocks and lockmethodid
restrictions with respect to fast-path locks.  It's not clear to me
whether this produces any user-visible breakage at the moment, but it's
certainly wrong.  Rearrange order of operations in LockReleaseAll to fix.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
