2015-10-16Invalidate caches after cranking up a parallel worker transaction.Robert Haas
Starting a parallel worker transaction changes our notion of which XIDs are in-progress or committed, and our notion of the current command counter ID. Therefore, our view of these caches prior to starting this transaction may no longer valid. Defend against that by clearing them. This fixes a bug in commit 924bcf4f16d54c55310b28f77686608684734f42.
2015-10-16Don't send protocol messages to a shm_mq that no longer exists.Robert Haas
Commit 2bd9e412f92bc6a68f3e8bcb18e04955cc35001d introduced a mechanism for relaying protocol messages from a background worker to another backend via a shm_mq. However, there was no provision for shutting down the communication channel. Therefore, a protocol message sent late in the shutdown sequence, such as a DEBUG message resulting from cranking up log_min_messages, could crash the server. To fix, install an on_dsm_detach callback that disables sending messages to the shm_mq when the associated DSM is detached.
2015-09-30Don't dump core when destroying an unused ParallelContext.Robert Haas
If a transaction or subtransaction creates a ParallelContext but ends without calling InitializeParallelDSM, the previous code would seg fault. Fix that.

2015-04-30Create an infrastructure for parallel computation in PostgreSQL.Robert Haas
This does four basic things. First, it provides convenience routines to coordinate the startup and shutdown of parallel workers. Second, it synchronizes various pieces of state (e.g. GUCs, combo CID mappings, transaction snapshot) from the parallel group leader to the worker processes. Third, it prohibits various operations that would result in unsafe changes to that state while parallelism is active. Finally, it propagates events that would result in an ErrorResponse, NoticeResponse, or NotifyResponse message being sent to the client from the parallel workers back to the master, from which they can then be sent on to the client.
