It looks fine to eventually backpatch, since StandbyReleaseLockTree() was optimized to only be called when the transaction had actually done some AccessExclusiveLocks. So the performance loss is minor and isolated to the users of such locks, so I see no problems with it. -- Simon Riggshttp://www.EnterpriseDB.com/

To get some hard numbers about this, I made a quick hack to collect getrusage() numbers for the startup process (patch attached for documentation purposes). I then ran the recovery/t/027_stream_regress.pl test a few times and collected the stats (also attached). This seems like a reasonably decent baseline test, since the core regression tests certainly take lots of AccessExclusiveLocks what with all the DDL involved, though they shouldn't ever take large numbers at once. Also they don't run long enough for any lock list bloat to occur, so these numbers don't reflect a case where the patches would provide benefit. If you look hard, there's maybe about a 1% user-CPU penalty for patch 2, although that's well below the run-to-run variation so it's hard to be sure that it's real. The same comments apply to the max resident size stats. So I'm comforted that there's not a significant penalty here. I'll go ahead with patch 2 if there's not objection. One other point to discuss: should we consider back-patching? I've got mixed feelings about that myself.

After further thought, maybe it'd be better to do it as attached, with one long-lived hash table for all the locks.

I figured out what the problem is. The standby's startup process retains knowledge of all these locks in standby.c's RecoveryLockLists data structure, which *has no de-duplication capability*. It'll add another entry to the per-XID list any time it's told about a given exclusive lock. And checkpoints cause us to regurgitate the entire set of currently-held exclusive locks into the WAL. So if you have a process holding a lot of exclusive locks, and sitting on them across multiple checkpoints, standby startup processes will bloat. It's not a true leak, in that we know where the memory is and we'll release it whenever we see that XID commit/abort. And I doubt that this is a common usage pattern, which probably explains the lack of previous complaints. Still, bloat bad. PFA a quick-hack fix that solves this issue by making per-transaction subsidiary hash tables. That's overkill perhaps; I'm a little worried about whether this slows down normal cases more than it's worth.
