Subject: pgsql: Convert SISeg->maxMsgNum to an atomic variable.
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2026 19:47:50 +0000
Message-ID: <E1x9pQ6-000000017HA-3RKR@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)

Convert SISeg->maxMsgNum to an atomic variable.

Currently, this variable is a uint32 protected by a spinlock.  The
spinlock exists only to provide memory barriers, so by converting
the variable to an atomic and using the barrier-providing accessors
in the spinlock's place, we can remove the spinlock.
