commit    bcd5b4bcbefc8b99be3678cf9c6c990a0c28f68e
Author:   Nathan Bossart <nathan@postgresql.org>
Date:     Tue Jan 23 20:20:14 2024 +0000
First released in: 17.0

    Fix crash in autoprewarm.
    
    Commit abb0b4fc03 moved the shared state for autoprewarm to a
    dynamic shared memory (DSM) segment, but it left apw_detach_shmem()
    in the on_shmem_exit callback list for the autoprewarm leader
    process.  This is a problem because shmem_exit() detaches all the
    DSM segments prior to calling the on_shmem_exit callbacks, thus
    producing segfaults in the exit path for the autoprewarm leader
    process.
    
    To fix, move apw_detach_shmem() to the before_shmem_exit callback
    list.  This commit also adds a check to pg_prewarm's test that the
    server shut down normally.  It might be worth making this a common
    check for all shutdowns in TAP tests, but that is left as a future
    exercise.
