26 * Each backend advertises up to PGPROC_MAX_CACHED_SUBXIDS TransactionIds
27 * for non-aborted subtransactions of its current top transaction. These
28 * have to be treated as running XIDs by other backends.
30 * We also keep track of whether the cache overflowed (ie, the transaction has
31 * generated at least one subtransaction that didn't fit in the cache).
32 * If none of the caches have overflowed, we can assume that an XID that's not
33 * listed anywhere in the PGPROC array is not a running transaction. Else we
34 * have to look at pg_subtrans.

90 * Each backend has a PGPROC struct in shared memory. There is also a list of
91 * currently-unused PGPROC structs that will be reallocated to new backends.
93 * links: list link for any list the PGPROC is in. When waiting for a lock,
94 * the PGPROC is linked into that lock's waitProcs queue. A recycled PGPROC
95 * is linked into ProcGlobal's freeProcs list.
97 * Note: twophase.c also sets up a dummy PGPROC struct for each currently
98 * prepared transaction. These PGPROCs appear in the ProcArray data structure
99 * so that the prepared transactions appear to be still running and are
100 * correctly shown as holding locks. A prepared transaction PGPROC can be
101 * distinguished from a real one at need by the fact that it has pid == 0.
102 * The semaphore and lock-activity fields in a prepared-xact PGPROC are unused,
103 * but its myProcLocks[] lists are valid.
105 * We allow many fields of this struct to be accessed without locks, such as
106 * delayChkpt and isBackgroundWorker. However, keep in mind that writing
107 * mirrored ones (see below) requires holding ProcArrayLock or XidGenLock in
108 * at least shared mode, so that pgxactoff does not change concurrently.
112 * Some fields in PGPROC (see "mirrored in ..." comment) are mirrored into an
113 * element of more densely packed ProcGlobal arrays. These arrays are indexed
114 * by PGPROC->pgxactoff. Both copies need to be maintained coherently.
116 * NB: The pgxactoff indexed value can *never* be accessed without holding

262 * There is one ProcGlobal struct for the whole database cluster.
264 * Adding/Removing an entry into the procarray requires holding *both*
265 * ProcArrayLock and XidGenLock in exclusive mode (in that order). Both are
266 * needed because the dense arrays (see below) are accessed from
267 * GetNewTransactionId() and GetSnapshotData(), and we don't want to add
268 * further contention by both using the same lock. Adding/Removing a procarray
269 * entry is much less frequent.
271 * Some fields in PGPROC are mirrored into more densely packed arrays (e.g.
272 * xids), with one entry for each backend. These arrays only contain entries
273 * for PGPROCs that have been added to the shared array with ProcArrayAdd()
274 * (in contrast to PGPROC array which has unused PGPROCs interspersed).
276 * The dense arrays are indexed by PGPROC->pgxactoff. Any concurrent
277 * ProcArrayAdd() / ProcArrayRemove() can lead to pgxactoff of a procarray
278 * member to change. Therefore it is only safe to use PGPROC->pgxactoff to
279 * access the dense array while holding either ProcArrayLock or XidGenLock.
281 * As long as a PGPROC is in the procarray, the mirrored values need to be
282 * maintained in both places in a coherent manner.
284 * The denser separate arrays are beneficial for three main reasons: First, to
285 * allow for as tight loops accessing the data as possible. Second, to prevent
286 * updates of frequently changing data (e.g. xmin) from invalidating
287 * cachelines also containing less frequently changing data (e.g. xid,
288 * statusFlags). Third to condense frequently accessed data into as few
289 * cachelines as possible.
291 * There are two main reasons to have the data mirrored between these dense
292 * arrays and PGPROC. First, as explained above, a PGPROC's array entries can
293 * only be accessed with either ProcArrayLock or XidGenLock held, whereas the
294 * PGPROC entries do not require that (obviously there may still be locking
295 * requirements around the individual field, separate from the concerns
296 * here). That is particularly important for a backend to efficiently checks
297 * it own values, which it often can safely do without locking. Second, the
298 * PGPROC fields allow to avoid unnecessary accesses and modification to the
299 * dense arrays. A backend's own PGPROC is more likely to be in a local cache,
300 * whereas the cachelines for the dense array will be modified by other
301 * backends (often removing it from the cache for other cores/sockets). At
302 * commit/abort time a check of the PGPROC value can avoid accessing/dirtying
303 * the corresponding array value.
305 * Basically it makes sense to access the PGPROC variable when checking a
306 * single backend's data, especially when already looking at the PGPROC for
307 * other reasons already. It makes sense to look at the "dense" arrays if we
308 * need to look at many / most entries, because we then benefit from the
309 * reduced indirection and better cross-process cache-ability.
311 * When entering a PGPROC for 2PC transactions with ProcArrayAdd(), the data
312 * in the dense arrays is initialized from the PGPROC while it already holds
