Tom Lane b6a97b91ff Block interrupts during HandleParallelMessages().
As noted by Alvaro, there are CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() calls in the shm_mq.c
functions called by HandleParallelMessages().  I believe they're all
unreachable since we always pass nowait = true, but it doesn't seem like
a great idea to assume that no such call will ever be reachable from
HandleParallelMessages().  If that did happen, there would be a risk of a
recursive call to HandleParallelMessages(), which it does not appear to be
designed for --- for example, there's nothing that would prevent
out-of-order processing of received messages.  And certainly such cases
cannot easily be tested.  So let's prevent it by holding off interrupts for
the duration of the function.  Back-patch to 9.5 which contains identical
code.

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.  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/.
