Hi, ProcSendSignal(pid) searches the ProcArray for the given pid and then sets that backend's procLatch. It has only two users: UnpinBuffer() and ReleasePredicateLocks(). In both cases, we could just as easily have recorded the pgprocno instead, avoiding the locking and the searching. We'd also be able to drop some special book-keeping for the startup process, whose pid can't be found via the ProcArray.
A related idea, saving space in BufferDesc but having to do slightly more expensive work, would be for UnpinBuffer() to reuse the new condition variable instead of ProcSendSignal().
From b2f3bf47e11f572a32f24945d10ffb9a7bc47b1f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Munro <[email protected]> Date: Thu, 11 Mar 2021 23:09:11 +1300 Subject: [PATCH] Optimize ProcSendSignal(). Instead of referring to target processes by pid, use pgprocno so that we don't have to scan the ProcArray and keep track of the startup process. --- src/backend/access/transam/xlog.c | 1 - src/backend/storage/buffer/buf_init.c | 2 +- src/backend/storage/buffer/bufmgr.c | 10 ++--- src/backend/storage/lmgr/predicate.c | 5 ++- src/backend/storage/lmgr/proc.c | 49 ++--------------------- src/include/storage/buf_internals.h | 2 +- src/include/storage/predicate_internals.h | 1 + src/include/storage/proc.h | 6 +-- 8 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 60 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/backend/access/transam/xlog.c b/src/backend/access/transam/xlog.c index 18af3d4120..5ff9bbda27 100644 --- a/src/backend/access/transam/xlog.c +++ b/src/backend/access/transam/xlog.c @@ -7225,7 +7225,6 @@ StartupXLOG(void) */ if (ArchiveRecoveryRequested && IsUnderPostmaster) { - PublishStartupProcessInformation();
