Heikki Linnakangas cb2d158c58 Fix locking while setting flags in MySerializableXact.
Even if a flag is modified only by the backend owning the transaction, it's
not safe to modify it without a lock. Another backend might be setting or
clearing a different flag in the flags field concurrently, and that
operation might be lost because setting or clearing a bit in a word is not
atomic.

Make did-write flag a simple backend-private boolean variable, because it
was only set or tested in the owning backend (except when committing a
prepared transaction, but it's not worthwhile to optimize for the case of a
read-only prepared transaction). This also eliminates the need to add
locking where that flag is set.

Also, set the did-write flag when doing DDL operations like DROP TABLE or
TRUNCATE -- that was missed earlier.

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/.
