Since we are trying to have a new design that can start the decryption before even we see the data, I need to have some kind of thread support.
My questions are in order to support page level encryption(i,e encrypt each page before writing back to disk and decrypt each page after we read from disk.) which parts of the code should be changed?
Our more simply, is /src/backend/storage/smgr/md.c the only code
that does the disk access?
Since our design requires thread support (we will do some of the decryption, before we see the data, therefore during disk access, we need to continue decryption) Can you suggest me a good thread lib you think will work fine with postgresql ?
Thanks for your help.
