Andres Freund d9e903f3cb logical decoding: Tell reorderbuffer about all xids.
Logical decoding's reorderbuffer keeps transactions in an LSN ordered
list for efficiency. To make that's efficiently possible upper-level
xids are forced to be logged before nested subtransaction xids.  That
only works though if these records are all looked at: Unfortunately we
didn't do so for e.g. row level locks, which are otherwise uninteresting
for logical decoding.

This could lead to errors like:
"ERROR: subxact logged without previous toplevel record".

It's not sufficient to just look at row locking records, the xid could
appear first due to a lot of other types of records (which will trigger
the transaction to be marked logged with MarkCurrentTransactionIdLoggedIfAny).
So invent infrastructure to tell reorderbuffer about xids seen, when
they'd otherwise not pass through reorderbuffer.c.

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/.
