The code in PostPrepare_Locks supposed that it could reassign locks to the prepared transaction's dummy PGPROC by deleting the PROCLOCK table entries and immediately creating new ones. This was safe when that code was written, but since we invented partitioning of the shared lock table, it's not safe --- another process could steal away the PROCLOCK entry in the short interval when it's on the freelist. Then, if we were otherwise out of shared memory, PostPrepare_Locks would have to PANIC, since it's too late to back out of the PREPARE at that point. Fix by inventing a dynahash.c function to atomically update a hashtable entry's key. (This might possibly have other uses in future.) This is an ancient bug that in principle we ought to back-patch, but the odds of someone hitting it in the field seem really tiny, because (a) the risk window is small, and (b) nobody runs servers with maxed-out lock tables for long, because they'll be getting non-PANIC out-of-memory errors anyway. So fixing it in HEAD seems sufficient, at least until the new code has gotten some testing. |
