Both superuser_reserved_connections and max_wal_senders can be set to
a value that's higher than max_connections, which is quite pointless,
and annoying :)
The docs for superuser_reserved_connections say "The value must be
less than the value of max_connections.", but this is never enforced.
Well, it's strangely enfocred. With max_connections=100, I can set
superuser_reserved_connections to 103. Looks like this is caused by
autovacuum_max_workers - because if I increase that one to 4, then I
can get it up to104...
The check in PostmasterMain():
if (ReservedBackends >= MaxBackends)
{
write_stderr("%s: superuser_reserved_connections must be less
than
max_connections\n", progname);
ExitPostmaster(1);
}
should probably check against MaxConnections instead of MaxBackends, I think?
The docs for max_wal_senders say nothing at all about the relation to
max_connections, which it really should. And it should probably be
enforced the same way that superuser_reserved_connections is, so you
can't set it to silly high values.
