Thanks. So it means that this patch will considered for 9.1.
I would like a mini-review on the change I made in the latest
patch by introducing the validator function. Is it enough
to check for
(source == PGC_S_DEFAULT || source == PGC_S_SESSION)
to ensure only interactive sessions can get lock timeouts?
This way autovacuum, replication and any other internal
processes get proper behaviour, i.e. the setting from
postgresql.conf is ignored and locks don't timeout for them.
Which other PGC_S_* settings can or must be enabled?
Best regards,
Zoltán Böszörményi
