* [PATCH v2] Fix pg_control corruption in EXEC_BACKEND startup. @ 2024-05-18 01:41 Thomas Munro <[email protected]> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 434+ messages in thread From: Thomas Munro @ 2024-05-18 01:41 UTC (permalink / raw) When backend processes were launched in EXEC_BACKEND builds, they would run LocalProcessControlFile() to read in pg_control and extract several important settings. This happens too early to acquire ControlFileLock, and the postmaster is also not allowed to acquire ControlFileLock, so it can't safely take a copy to give to the child. Instead, pass down the "proto-controlfile" that was read by the postmaster in LocalProcessControlFile(). Introduce functions ExportProtoControlFile() and ImportProtoControlFile() to allow that. Subprocesses will extract information from that, and then later attach to the current control file in shared memory.
