13 *-------------------------------------------------------------------------
16 * POSTGRES processes share one or more regions of shared memory.
17 * The shared memory is created by a postmaster and is inherited
18 * by each backend via fork() (or, in some ports, via other OS-specific
19 * methods). The routines in this file are used for allocating and
20 * binding to shared memory data structures.
22 * NOTES:
23 * (a) There are three kinds of shared memory data structures
24 * available to POSTGRES: fixed-size structures, queues and hash
25 * tables. Fixed-size structures contain things like global variables
26 * for a module and should never be allocated after the shared memory
27 * initialization phase. Hash tables have a fixed maximum size, but
28 * their actual size can vary dynamically. When entries are added
29 * to the table, more space is allocated. Queues link data structures
30 * that have been allocated either within fixed-size structures or as hash
31 * buckets. Each shared data structure has a string name to identify
32 * it (assigned in the module that declares it).
34 * (b) During initialization, each module looks for its
35 * shared data structures in a hash table called the "Shmem Index".
36 * If the data structure is not present, the caller can allocate
37 * a new one and initialize it. If the data structure is present,
38 * the caller "attaches" to the structure by initializing a pointer
39 * in the local address space.
40 * The shmem index has two purposes: first, it gives us
41 * a simple model of how the world looks when a backend process
42 * initializes. If something is present in the shmem index,
43 * it is initialized. If it is not, it is uninitialized. Second,
44 * the shmem index allows us to allocate shared memory on demand
45 * instead of trying to preallocate structures and hard-wire the
46 * sizes and locations in header files. If you are using a lot
47 * of shared memory in a lot of different places (and changing
48 * things during development), this is important.
50 * (c) In standard Unix-ish environments, individual backends do not
51 * need to re-establish their local pointers into shared memory, because
52 * they inherit correct values of those variables via fork() from the
53 * postmaster. However, this does not work in the EXEC_BACKEND case.
54 * In ports using EXEC_BACKEND, new backends have to set up their local
55 * pointers using the method described in (b) above.
57 * (d) memory allocation model: shared memory can never be
58 * freed, once allocated. Each hash table has its own free list,
59 * so hash buckets can be reused when an item is deleted. However,
60 * if one hash table grows very large and then shrinks, its space
61 * cannot be redistributed to other tables. We could build a simple
62 * hash bucket garbage collector if need be. Right now, it seems
63 * unnecessary.
