It's still my intention to get this committed eventually, but I got a bit frazzled by conflicting reports on several operating systems. For FreeBSD, performance was improved in many cases, but there were also some regressions that seemed to be related to ongoing work in the kernel that seemed worth waiting for. I don't have the details swapped into my brain right now, but there was something about a big kernel lock for Unix domain sockets which possibly explained some local pgbench problems, and there was also a problem relating to wakeup priority with some test parameters, which I'd need to go and dig up. If you want to test this and let us know how you get on, that'd be great! Here's a rebase against PostgreSQL's master branch,
I took this patch for a quick spin on macOS. The result was that the test suite hangs in the test src/test/recovery/t/017_shm.pl. I didn't see any mentions of this anywhere in the thread, but that test is newer than the beginning of this thread. Can anyone confirm or deny this issue? Is it specific to macOS perhaps?
