corrupted. (Neither is very important if SIGTERM is used to shut down the whole database cluster together, but there's a problem if someone tries to SIGTERM individual backends.) To do this, introduce new infrastructure macros PG_ENSURE_ERROR_CLEANUP/PG_END_ENSURE_ERROR_CLEANUP that take care of transiently pushing an on_shmem_exit cleanup hook. Also use this method for createdb cleanup --- that wasn't a shared-memory-corruption problem, but SIGTERM abort of createdb could leave orphaned files lying around. Backpatch as far as 8.2. The shmem corruption cases don't exist in 8.1, and the createdb usage doesn't seem important enough to risk backpatching further. |

$PostgreSQL: pgsql/src/backend/storage/ipc/README,v 1.5 2008/03/20 17:55:15 momjian Exp $ Cache Invalidation Synchronization Routines =========================================== Mon Jul 18 11:09:22 PDT 1988 W.KLAS The cache synchronization is done using a message queue. Every backend can register a message which then has to be read by all backends. A message read by all backends is removed from the queue automatically. If a message has been lost because the buffer was full, all backends that haven't read this message will be told that they have to reset their cache state. This is done at the time when they try to read the message queue. The message queue is implemented as a shared buffer segment. Actually, the queue is a circle to allow fast inserting, reading (invalidate data) and maintaining the buffer.
