But if the MAX_SIMUL_LWLOCKS - NUM_RESERVED_LWLOCKS limit is reached,
you elog without having recorded the lock you just took ... which is a
certain loser since nothing will ever release it. Also,
proc_exit_inprogress is not the appropriate thing to test for unless
you're going to use an elog(FATAL).
I think it would work to record the lock, unwind the extraWaits, and
*then* elog if we're above the allowable limit. Something like
if (num_held_lwlocks >= MAX_SIMUL_LWLOCKS)
elog(PANIC, "too many LWLocks taken");
held_lwlocks[num_held_lwlocks++] = lockid;
while (extraWaits-- > 0)
PGSemaphoreUnlock(&proc->sem);
if (!InError && num_held_lwlocks >= MAX_SIMUL_LWLOCKS - NUM_RESERVED_LWLOCKS)
elog(ERROR, "too many LWLocks taken");
except we don't have the InError flag anymore so there'd need to be some
other test for deciding whether it should be OK to go into the reserved
locks.
But I think this is too much complexity for a case that shouldn't ever
happen.
