My intention behind keeping all backends waiting was to have a simple way of not only preventing them from allocating new buffers from the truncated range, but also eliminating any chance of them accessing those to-be-truncated buffers. In the end it's just easier (at least for me) to reason about correctness of the implementation this way. > On Tue, Jun 10, 2025 at 04:39:58PM +0530, Ashutosh Bapat wrote: > > Here's patchset rebased on f85f6ab051b7cf6950247e5fa6072c4130613555 Thanks! I've reworked the series to implement approach suggested by Thomas, and applied your patches to support buffers shrinking on top. I had to restructure the patch set, here is how it looks like right now: 1. Preparation patches Changes, that are needed to support resizing functionality, but not strictly related to it. * Process config reload in AIO workers. Corrects omission discussed on [1]. * Introduce pending flag for GUC assign hooks. Allowing to decouple a GUC value change from actually applying it, sort of "pending" change. The idea is to let a custom logic be triggered on an assign hook, and then take responsibility for what happens later and how it's going to be applied. Doesn't do GUC reporting yet. * Introduce pss_barrierReceivedGeneration. Allows to distinguish situations when a signal was processed everywhere, and when a signal was received everywhere. 2. Resizing implementation * Allow to use multiple shared memory mappings. A preparation patch, extending the existing interface to support multiple shared memory segments. * Address space reservation for shared memory. Implement the new way of handling shared memory segments, now each segment can visually be represented as following: / Address space \ +---------------<+>--------------------------+ | Actual content | Address space reservation | | (memfd) | (mmap, PROT_NONE) | +---------------<+>--------------------------+ The actual segment size is managed via ftruncate and mprotect. One interesting side effect I haven't fully understood yet, is that Linux doesn't seem to extend the existing mapping when doing mprotect on huge pages, it creates another mapping instead. E.g. when using normal page size and resizing shared memory we get: 7f4808600000-7f4817e00000 rw-s /memfd:buffers (deleted) 7f4817e00000-7f48a2000000 ---s /memfd:buffers (deleted) Doing the same with huge pages ends up looking like this: 7f4808600000-7f4817e00000 rw-s /memfd:buffers (deleted) 7f4817e00000-7f4830000000 rw-s /memfd:buffers (deleted) 7f4830000000-7f48a2000000 ---s /memfd:buffers (deleted) I'm still investigating whether it's a mistake on my side or a genuine Linux behavior. At the same time I don't see it as a large issue, the same situation could happen with the previous implementation as well. * Introduce multiple shmem segments for shared buffers. Modifies necessary bits to use new functionality. * Allow to resize shared memory without restart. Utilizes infrastructure introduced so far to implement stop-the-world resizing approach, where all the active backend (and potentially new one spawning) are waiting until everyone gets the same shared memory size. When testing I've noticed that there seems to be concurrency issues with interrupts, where aio workers and checkpointer sometimes do not receive the resize signal correctly. I assume it has something to do with the significant behavior change -- config reload processing can now fire signals on its own. Letting those backends to always process config reload first seems to be resolved (or at least hide) the issue, but I still need to understand what's going on there. 3. Shared memory shrinking So far only shared memory increase was implemented. These patches from Ashutosh support shrinking as well, which is tricky due to the need for buffer eviction. * Support shrinking shared buffers * Reinitialize StrategyControl after resizing buffers * Additional validation for buffer in the ring > 0009 adds support to shrink shared buffers. It has two changes: a. > evict the buffers outside the new buffer size b. remove buffers with > buffer id outside the new buffer size from the free list. If a buffer > being evicted is pinned, the operation is aborted and a FATAL error is > raised. I think we need to change this behaviour to be less severe > like rolling back the operation or waiting for the pinned buffer to be > unpinned etc. Better even if we could let users control the behaviour. > But we need better infrastructure to do such things. That's one TODO > left in the patch. I haven't reviewed those, just tested a bit to finally include into the series. Note that I had to tweak two things: * The way it was originally implemented was sending resize signal to postmaster before doing eviction, which could result in sigbus when accessing LSN of a dirty buffer to be evicted. I've reshaped it a bit to make sure eviction always happens first. * It seems the CurrentResource owner could be missing sometimes, so I've added a band-aid checking its presence. One side note, during my testing I've noticed assert failures on pgstat_tracks_io_op inside a wal writer a few times. I couldn't reproduce it after the fixes above, but still it may indicate that something is off. E.g. it's somehow not expected that the wal writer will do buffer eviction IO (from what I understand, the current shrinking implementation allows that). > Buffer lookup table resizing > ------------------------------------ > The size of the buffer lookup table depends upon (number of shared > buffers + number of partitions in the shared buffer lookup table).

That's not implemented in the current patchset. Just FYI, buffer lookup table has its own STRATEGY_SHMEM_SEGMENT shared memory segment and is resized in the same way as others. There could be lots of details missing, but at least the corresponding resizable segment is already there.

Certain GUC options (like shared_buffers, coming in subsequent patches) may need coordinating work between backends to change, meaning we cannot apply it right away. Add a new flag "pending" for an assign hook to allow the hook indicate exactly that. If the pending flag is set after the hook, the new value will not be applied and it's handling becomes the hook's implementation responsibility. Note, that this also requires changes in the way how GUCs are getting reported, but the patch does not cover that yet. --- src/backend/access/transam/xlog.c | 2 +- src/backend/commands/variable.c | 6 +-- src/backend/libpq/pqcomm.c | 8 ++-- src/backend/tcop/postgres.c | 2 +- src/backend/utils/misc/guc.c | 59 +++++++++++++++++++--------- src/backend/utils/misc/stack_depth.c | 2 +- src/include/utils/guc.h | 2 +- src/include/utils/guc_hooks.h | 20 +++++----- 8 files changed, 61 insertions(+), 40 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/backend/access/transam/xlog.c b/src/backend/access/transam/xlog.c index 47ffc0a2307..d1be780683b 100644 --- a/src/backend/access/transam/xlog.c +++ b/src/backend/access/transam/xlog.c @@ -2321,7 +2321,7 @@ CalculateCheckpointSegments(void) } void -assign_max_wal_size(int newval, void *extra) +assign_max_wal_size(int newval, void *extra, bool *pending) { max_wal_size_mb = newval;

Add pss_barrierReceivedGeneration alongside with pss_barrierGeneration, which will be updated when a process has received the message, but not processed it yet. This makes it possible to support a new mode of waiting, when ProcSignal participants want to synchronize message processing. To do that, a participant can wait via WaitForProcSignalBarrierReceived when processing a message, effectively making sure that all processes are going to start processing ProcSignalBarrier simultaneously. --- src/backend/storage/ipc/procsignal.c | 67 ++++++++++++++++++++++------ src/include/storage/procsignal.h | 1 + 2 files changed, 54 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/backend/storage/ipc/procsignal.c b/src/backend/storage/ipc/procsignal.c index a9bb540b55a..c6bec9be423 100644 --- a/src/backend/storage/ipc/procsignal.c +++ b/src/backend/storage/ipc/procsignal.c @@ -58,7 +58,10 @@ * of it.

Introduce possibility to allocate multiple shared memory mappings, where a single mapping is associated with a specified shared memory segment. There is only fixed amount of available segments, currently only one main shared memory segment is allocated. A new shared memory API is introduces, extended with a segment as a new parameter. As a path of least resistance, the original API is kept in place, utilizing the main shared memory segment. --- src/backend/port/posix_sema.c | 4 +- src/backend/port/sysv_sema.c | 4 +- src/backend/port/sysv_shmem.c | 138 +++++++++++++++++++--------- src/backend/port/win32_sema.c | 2 +- src/backend/storage/ipc/ipc.c | 4 +- src/backend/storage/ipc/ipci.c | 63 +++++++------ src/backend/storage/ipc/shmem.c | 148 +++++++++++++++++++++--------- src/backend/storage/lmgr/lwlock.c | 13 ++- src/include/storage/ipc.h | 2 +- src/include/storage/pg_sema.h | 2 +- src/include/storage/pg_shmem.h | 18 ++++ src/include/storage/shmem.h | 12 +++ 12 files changed, 284 insertions(+), 126 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/backend/port/posix_sema.c b/src/backend/port/posix_sema.c index 269c7460817..401e1113fa1 100644 --- a/src/backend/port/posix_sema.c +++ b/src/backend/port/posix_sema.c @@ -193,7 +193,7 @@ PGSemaphoreShmemSize(int maxSemas) * we don't have to expose the counters to other processes.) */ void -PGReserveSemaphores(int maxSemas) +PGReserveSemaphores(int maxSemas, int shmem_segment) { struct stat statbuf; @@ -220,7 +220,7 @@ PGReserveSemaphores(int maxSemas) * ShmemAlloc() won't be ready yet. */ sharedSemas = (PGSemaphore) - ShmemAllocUnlocked(PGSemaphoreShmemSize(maxSemas)); + ShmemAllocUnlockedInSegment(PGSemaphoreShmemSize(maxSemas), shmem_segment); #endif numSems = 0; diff --git a/src/backend/port/sysv_sema.c b/src/backend/port/sysv_sema.c index 423b2b4f9d6..4ce2cfb662b 100644 --- a/src/backend/port/sysv_sema.c +++ b/src/backend/port/sysv_sema.c @@ -307,7 +307,7 @@ PGSemaphoreShmemSize(int maxSemas) * have clobbered.) */ void -PGReserveSemaphores(int maxSemas) +PGReserveSemaphores(int maxSemas, int shmem_segment) { struct stat statbuf; @@ -328,7 +328,7 @@ PGReserveSemaphores(int maxSemas) * ShmemAlloc() won't be ready yet. */ sharedSemas = (PGSemaphore) - ShmemAllocUnlocked(PGSemaphoreShmemSize(maxSemas)); + ShmemAllocUnlockedInSegment(PGSemaphoreShmemSize(maxSemas), shmem_segment); numSharedSemas = 0; maxSharedSemas = maxSemas; diff --git a/src/backend/port/sysv_shmem.c b/src/backend/port/sysv_shmem.c index 197926d44f6..56af0231d24 100644 --- a/src/backend/port/sysv_shmem.c +++ b/src/backend/port/sysv_shmem.c @@ -94,8 +94,19 @@ typedef enum unsigned long UsedShmemSegID = 0; void *UsedShmemSegAddr = NULL; -static Size AnonymousShmemSize; -static void *AnonymousShmem = NULL; +typedef struct AnonymousMapping +{ + int shmem_segment; + Size shmem_size; /* Size of the mapping */ + Pointer shmem; /* Pointer to the start of the mapped memory */ + Pointer seg_addr; /* SysV shared memory for the header */ + unsigned long seg_id; /* IPC key */ +} AnonymousMapping; + +static AnonymousMapping Mappings[ANON_MAPPINGS]; + +/* Keeps track of used mapping segments */ +static int next_free_segment = 0; static void *InternalIpcMemoryCreate(IpcMemoryKey memKey, Size size); static void IpcMemoryDetach(int status, Datum shmaddr); @@ -104,6 +115,28 @@ static IpcMemoryState PGSharedMemoryAttach(IpcMemoryId shmId, void *attachAt, PGShmemHeader **addr); +static const char* +MappingName(int shmem_segment) +{ + switch (shmem_segment) + { + case MAIN_SHMEM_SEGMENT: + return "main"; + default: + return "unknown"; + } +} + +static void +DebugMappings() +{ + for(int i = 0; i < next_free_segment; i++) + { + AnonymousMapping m = Mappings[i]; + elog(DEBUG1, "Mapping[%s]: addr %p, size %zu", + MappingName(i), m.shmem, m.shmem_size); + } +} /* * InternalIpcMemoryCreate(memKey, size) @@ -591,14 +624,13 @@ check_huge_page_size(int *newval, void **extra, GucSource source) /* * Creates an anonymous mmap()ed shared memory segment. * - * Pass the requested size in *size.

Here is how it looks like for one mapping in /proc/$PID/maps, /dev/zero represents the anonymous shared memory we talk about: 00400000-00490000 /path/bin/postgres ... 012d9000-0133e000 [heap] 7f443a800000-7f470a800000 /dev/zero (deleted) 7f470a800000-7f471831d000 /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive 7f4718400000-7f4718401000 /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.34 ... Make the layout more dynamic via splitting every shared memory segment into two parts: * An anonymous file, which actually contains shared memory content. Such an anonymous file is created via memfd_create, it lives in memory, behaves like a regular file and semantically equivalent to an anonymous memory allocated via mmap with MAP_ANONYMOUS. * A reservation mapping, which size is much larger than required shared segment size. This mapping is created with flags PROT_NONE (which makes sure the reserved space is not used), and MAP_NORESERVE (to not count the reserved space against memory limits). The anonymous file is mapped into this reservation mapping. The resulting layout looks like this: 00400000-00490000 /path/bin/postgres ... 3f526000-3f590000 rw-p [heap] 7fbd827fe000-7fbd8bdde000 rw-s /memfd:main (deleted) -- anon file 7fbd8bdde000-7fbe82800000 ---s /memfd:main (deleted) -- reservation 7fbe82800000-7fbe90670000 r--p /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive 7fbe90800000-7fbe90941000 r-xp /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.34 To resize a shared memory segment in this layout it's possible to use ftruncate on the anonymous file, adjusting access permissions on the reserved space as needed. This approach also do not impact the actual memory usage as reported by the kernel. Here is the output of /proc/$PID/status for the master version with shared_buffers = 128 MB: // Peak virtual memory size, which is described as total pages // mapped in mm_struct. It corresponds to the mapped reserved space // and is the only number that grows with it. VmPeak: 2043192 kB // Size of memory portions. It contains RssAnon + RssFile + RssShmem VmRSS: 22908 kB // Size of resident anonymous memory RssAnon: 768 kB // Size of resident file mappings RssFile: 10364 kB // Size of resident shmem memory (includes SysV shm, mapping of tmpfs and // shared anonymous mappings) RssShmem: 11776 kB Here is the same for the patch when reserving 20GB of space: VmPeak: 21255824 kB VmRSS: 25020 kB RssAnon: 768 kB RssFile: 10812 kB RssShmem: 13440 kB Cgroup v2 doesn't have any problems with that as well. To verify a new cgroup was created with the memory limit 256 MB, then PostgreSQL was launched withing this cgroup with shared_buffers = 128 MB: $ cd /sys/fs/cgroup $ mkdir postgres $ cd postres $ echo 268435456 > memory.max $ echo $MASTER_PID_SHELL > cgroup.procs # postgres from the master branch has being successfully launched # from that shell $ cat memory.current 17465344 (~16.6 MB) # stop postgres $ echo $PATCH_PID_SHELL > cgroup.procs # postgres from the patch has being successfully launched from that shell $ cat memory.current 20770816 (~19.8 MB) To control the amount of space reserved a new GUC max_available_memory is introduced. Ideally it should be based on the maximum available memory, hense the name. There are also few unrelated advantages of using anon files: * We've got a file descriptor, which could be used for regular file operations (modification, truncation, you name it). * The file could be given a name, which improves readability when it comes to process maps. * By default, Linux will not add file-backed shared mappings into a core dump, making it more convenient to work with them in PostgreSQL: no more huge dumps to process. The downside is that memfd_create is Linux specific. --- src/backend/port/sysv_shmem.c | 290 ++++++++++++++++++++++------ src/backend/port/win32_shmem.c | 2 +- src/backend/storage/ipc/ipci.c | 5 +- src/backend/storage/ipc/shmem.c | 2 +- src/backend/utils/init/globals.c | 1 + src/backend/utils/misc/guc_tables.c | 14 ++ src/include/miscadmin.h | 1 + src/include/portability/mem.h | 2 +- src/include/storage/pg_shmem.h | 5 +- 9 files changed, 262 insertions(+), 60 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/backend/port/sysv_shmem.c b/src/backend/port/sysv_shmem.c index 56af0231d24..363ddfd1fca 100644 --- a/src/backend/port/sysv_shmem.c +++ b/src/backend/port/sysv_shmem.c @@ -97,10 +97,12 @@ void *UsedShmemSegAddr = NULL; typedef struct AnonymousMapping { int shmem_segment; - Size shmem_size; /* Size of the mapping */ + Size shmem_size; /* Size of the actually used memory */ + Size shmem_reserved; /* Size of the reserved mapping */ Pointer shmem; /* Pointer to the start of the mapped memory */ Pointer seg_addr; /* SysV shared memory for the header */ unsigned long seg_id; /* IPC key */ + int segment_fd; /* fd for the backing anon file */ } AnonymousMapping; static AnonymousMapping Mappings[ANON_MAPPINGS]; @@ -108,6 +110,49 @@ static AnonymousMapping Mappings[ANON_MAPPINGS]; /* Keeps track of used mapping segments */ static int next_free_segment = 0; +/* + * Anonymous mapping layout we use looks like this: + * + * 00400000-00c2a000 r-xp /bin/postgres + * ... + * 3f526000-3f590000 rw-p [heap] + * 7fbd827fe000-7fbd8bdde000 rw-s /memfd:main (deleted) + * 7fbd8bdde000-7fbe82800000 ---s /memfd:main (deleted) + * 7fbe82800000-7fbe90670000 r--p /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive + * 7fbe90800000-7fbe90941000 r-xp /usr/lib64/libstdc++.so.6.0.34 + * ... + * + * We need to place shared memory mappings in such a way, that there will be + * gaps between them in the address space.

Placing each of them in a separate shmem segment allows to achieve that. There are some asumptions made about each of shmem segments upper size limit.

Essentially the implementation is based on two mechanisms: a ProcSignalBarrier is used to make sure all processes are starting the resize procedure simultaneously, and a global Barrier is used to coordinate after that and make sure all finished processes are waiting for others that are in progress. The resize process looks like this: * The GUC assign hook sets a flag to let the Postmaster know that resize was requested. * Postmaster verifies the flag in the event loop, and starts the resize by emitting a ProcSignal barrier. * All processes, that participate in ProcSignal mechanism, begin to process ProcSignal barrier. First a process waits until all processes have confirmed they received the message and can start simultaneously. * Every process recalculates shared memory size based on the new NBuffers, adjusts its size using ftruncate and adjust reservation permissions with mprotect. One elected process signals the postmaster to do the same. * When finished, every process waits on a global ShmemControl barrier, untill all others are finished as well. This way we ensure three stages with clear boundaries: before the resize, when all processes use old NBuffers; during the resize, when processes have mix of old and new NBuffers, and wait until it's done; after the resize, when all processes use new NBuffers. * After all processes are using new value, one of them will initialize new shared structures (buffer blocks, descriptors, etc) as needed and broadcast new value of NBuffers via ShmemControl in shared memory. Other backends are waiting for this operation to finish as well. Then the barrier is lifted and everything goes as usual. Since resizing takes time, we need to take into account that during that time: - New backends can be spawned. They will check status of the barrier early during the bootstrap, and wait until everything is over to work with the new NBuffers value. - Old backends can exit before attempting to resize. Synchronization used between backends relies on ProcSignalBarrier and waits for all participants received the message at the beginning to gather all existing backends. - Some backends might be blocked and not responsing either before or after receiving the message. In the first case such backend still have ProcSignalSlot and should be waited for, in the second case shared barrier will make sure we still waiting for those backends. In any case there is an unbounded wait. - Backends might join barrier in disjoint groups with some time in between. That means that relying only on the shared dynamic barrier is not enough -- it will only synchronize resize procedure withing those groups. That's why we wait first for all participants of ProcSignal mechanism who received the message. Here is how it looks like after raising shared_buffers from 128 MB to 512 MB and calling pg_reload_conf(): -- 128 MB 7f87909fc000-7f8798248000 rw-s /memfd:strategy (deleted) 7f8798248000-7f879d6ca000 ---s /memfd:strategy (deleted) 7f879d6ca000-7f87a4e84000 rw-s /memfd:checkpoint (deleted) 7f87a4e84000-7f87aa398000 ---s /memfd:checkpoint (deleted) 7f87aa398000-7f87b1b42000 rw-s /memfd:iocv (deleted) 7f87b1b42000-7f87c3d32000 ---s /memfd:iocv (deleted) 7f87c3d32000-7f87cb59c000 rw-s /memfd:descriptors (deleted) 7f87cb59c000-7f87dd6cc000 ---s /memfd:descriptors (deleted) 7f87dd6cc000-7f87ece38000 rw-s /memfd:buffers (deleted) ^ buffers content, ~247 MB 7f87ece38000-7f8877066000 ---s /memfd:buffers (deleted) ^ reserved space, ~2210 MB 7f8877066000-7f887e7d0000 rw-s /memfd:main (deleted) 7f887e7d0000-7f8890a00000 ---s /memfd:main (deleted) -- 512 MB 7f87909fc000-7f879866a000 rw-s /memfd:strategy (deleted) 7f879866a000-7f879d6ca000 ---s /memfd:strategy (deleted) 7f879d6ca000-7f87a50f4000 rw-s /memfd:checkpoint (deleted) 7f87a50f4000-7f87aa398000 ---s /memfd:checkpoint (deleted) 7f87aa398000-7f87b1d82000 rw-s /memfd:iocv (deleted) 7f87b1d82000-7f87c3d32000 ---s /memfd:iocv (deleted) 7f87c3d32000-7f87cba1c000 rw-s /memfd:descriptors (deleted) 7f87cba1c000-7f87dd6cc000 ---s /memfd:descriptors (deleted) 7f87dd6cc000-7f8804fb8000 rw-s /memfd:buffers (deleted) ^ buffers content, ~632 MB 7f8804fb8000-7f8877066000 ---s /memfd:buffers (deleted) ^ reserved space, ~1824 MB 7f8877066000-7f887e950000 rw-s /memfd:main (deleted) 7f887e950000-7f8890a00000 ---s /memfd:main (deleted) The implementation supports only increasing of shared_buffers. For decreasing the value a similar procedure is needed. But the buffer blocks with data have to be drained first, so that the actual data set fits into the new smaller space. From experiment it turns out that shared mappings have to be extended separately for each process that uses them. Another rough edge is that a backend blocked on ReadCommand will not apply shared_buffers change until it receives something.

Also, each such buffer needs to be removed from the buffer mapping table so that backends do not access it after shrinking. Buffer eviction requires a separate barrier phase for two reasons: 1. No other backend should map a new page to any of buffers being evicted when eviction is in progress. So they wait while eviction is in progress. 2. Since a pinned buffer has the pin recorded in the backend local memory as well as the buffer descriptor (which is in shared memory), eviction should not coincide with remapping the shared memory of a backend. Otherwise we might loose consistency of local and shared pinning records. Hence it needs to be carried out in ProcessBarrierShmemResize() and not in AnonymousShmemResize() as indicated by now removed comment. If a buffer being evicted is pinned, we raise a FATAL error but this should improve. There are multiple options 1. to wait for the pinned buffer to get unpinned, 2. the backend is killed or it itself cancels the query or 3. rollback the operation. Note that option 1 and 2 would require the pinning related local and shared records to be accessed. But we need infrastructure to do either of this right now.

Here's list of what StrategyReInitialize() does and how does it differ from StrategyInitialize(). 1. When expanding the buffer pool add new buffers to the free list. 2. When shrinking buffers, we remove any buffers, in the area being shrunk, from the freelist. While doing so we adjust the first and last free buffer pointers in the StrategyControl area. Hence nothing more needed after resizing. 3. Check the sanity of the free buffer list is added after resizing. 4. StrategyControl pointer needn't be fetched again since it should not change. But added an Assert to make sure the pointer is valid. 5. &StrategyControl->buffer_strategy_lock need not be initialized again. 6. nextVictimBuffer, completePasses and numBufferAllocs are viewed in the context of NBuffers. Now that NBuffers itself has changed, those three do not make sense. Reset them as if the server has restarted again. This commit introduces a flag delay_shmem_resize, which postgresql backends and workers can use to signal the coordinator to delay resizing operation. Background writer sets this flag when its scanning buffers. Background writer is blocked when the actual resizing is in progress. But if resizing is about to begin, it does not scan the buffers by returning from BgBufferSync(). It stops a scan in progress when it sees that the resizing has begun. After the resizing is finished, it adjusts the collected statistics according to the new size of the buffer pool at the end of barrier processing. Once the buffer resizing is finished, before resuming the regular operation, bgwriter resets the information saved so far. This information is viewed in the context of NBuffers and hence does not make sense after NBuffer has changed.

Modify GetBufferFromRing to check if the buffer is still valid before using it. This makes GetBufferFromRing() a bit more expensive because of additional boolean condition. That may not be expensive enough to affect query performance. The alternative to that is more complex as explained below. The strategy object is created in CurrentMemoryContext and is not available in any global structure thus accessible when processing buffer resizing barriers. We may modify GetAccessStrategy() to register strategy in a global linked list and then arrange to deregister it once it's no more in use. Looking at the places which use GetAccessStrategy(), fixing all those may be some work.
