[HACKERS] BufferSync() FlushRelationBuffers() conflict
Just committed changes in bufmgr.c Regress tests passed but need more specific tests, as usually. Descr as in CVS: Check bufHdr-cntxDirty and call StartBufferIO in BufferSync() *before* acquiring shlock on buffer context. This way we should be protected against conflicts with FlushRelationBuffers. (Seems we never do excl lock and then StartBufferIO for the same buffer, so there should be no deadlock here, - but we'd better check this very soon).

Sorry for the delay --- I was down in Norfolk all day, and am just now catching up on email. I will pull Vadim's update and run the test some more. However, last night I only saw the failure once in about an hour's worth of testing, so it's not that easy to reproduce anyway... regards, tom lane ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly

Tom, since you appear to be able to recreate the bug, can you comment on this, as to whether we are okay now? Sorry for the delay --- I was down in Norfolk all day, and am just now catching up on email. I will pull Vadim's update and run the test some more. However, last night I only saw the failure once in about an hour's worth of testing, so it's not that easy to reproduce anyway... I saw ~ 10 failures with -B 32 in ~ 3 minutes of testing. With old code, of course -:) Vadim ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
