I've been looking at a semaphore deadlock problem reported by Hiroyuki Yamada. It's a serious issue, though luckily somewhat restricted in scope. I don't think its wise to rush in with a solution, since that involves some work with semaphores and I could easily make that area less stable by acting too quickly. What I will do now is put in a restriction on lock waits in Hot Standby, which will only happen for Alpha3. That avoids the deadlock issue in an easy and safe way, though it is heavy handed and I aim to replace it fairly soon, following discussion and testing. -- Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
