Bad things happen if the DBA issues "pg_ctl stop -m fast" before autoprewarm finishes loading its list of blocks to prewarm. The current worker process successfully terminates early, but (if this wasn't the last database with blocks to prewarm) the leader process will just try to launch another worker for the next database. Since the postmaster is now in PM_WAIT_BACKENDS state, it ignores the launch request, and the leader just sits until it's killed manually. This is mostly the fault of our half-baked design for launching background workers, but a proper fix for that is likely to be too invasive to be back-patchable. To ameliorate the situation, fix apw_load_buffers() to check whether SIGTERM has arrived just before trying to launch another worker. That leaves us with only a very narrow window in each worker launch where SIGTERM could occur between the launch request and successful worker start. Another issue is that if the leader process does manage to exit, it unconditionally rewrites autoprewarm.blocks with only the blocks currently in shared buffers, thus forgetting any blocks that we hadn't reached yet while prewarming. This seems quite unhelpful, since the next database start will then not have the expected prewarming benefit. Fix it to not modify the file if we shut down before the initial load attempt is complete. Per bug #16785 from John Thompson. Back-patch to v11 where the autoprewarm code was introduced.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree --------------------------- This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their usefulness. User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML documentation. When building from the source distribution, these modules are not built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected module, do the same in that module's subdirectory. Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database, you can simply do CREATE EXTENSION module_name; See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this procedure.
