What sort of "wait for finish" mechanism do you have in mind?
I was thinking of XactLockTableWait.
Ugh. I don't think the bgwriter can participate in heavyweight-lockmgr
operations, or should become able to.
Oh, good point.
I suppose we could just poll and sleep, checkpoint is a heavy operation
anyway so a little delay wouldn't hurt.
Nor will that work for prepared xacts --- you don't want to wait for the
eventual commit, only for PREPARE TRANSACTION to exit its critical
section.
PREPARE TRANSACTION wouldn't set the flag in MyProc; there's no clog
changes to protect from at that point. It would be set in
RecordTransactionCommitPrepared when we're really committing. Just like
we use the CheckpointStartLock today.
