34 : : * The postmaster is signaled by its children by sending SIGUSR1. The
35 : : * specific reason is communicated via flags in shared memory. We keep
36 : : * a boolean flag for each possible "reason", so that different reasons
37 : : * can be signaled by different backends at the same time. (However,
38 : : * if the same reason is signaled more than once simultaneously, the
39 : : * postmaster will observe it only once.)
40 : : *
41 : : * The flags are actually declared as "volatile sig_atomic_t" for maximum
42 : : * portability. This should ensure that loads and stores of the flag
43 : : * values are atomic, allowing us to dispense with any explicit locking.
44 : : *
45 : : * In addition to the per-reason flags, we store a set of per-child-process
46 : : * flags that are currently used only for detecting whether a backend has
47 : : * exited without performing proper shutdown. The per-child-process flags
48 : : * have three possible states: UNUSED, ASSIGNED, ACTIVE. An UNUSED slot is
49 : : * available for assignment. An ASSIGNED slot is associated with a postmaster
50 : : * child process, but either the process has not touched shared memory yet, or
51 : : * it has successfully cleaned up after itself. An ACTIVE slot means the
52 : : * process is actively using shared memory. The slots are assigned to child
53 : : * processes by postmaster, and pmchild.c is responsible for tracking which
54 : : * one goes with which PID.
55 : : *
56 : : * Actually there is a fourth state, WALSENDER. This is just like ACTIVE,
57 : : * but carries the extra information that the child is a WAL sender.
58 : : * WAL senders too start in ACTIVE state, but switch to WALSENDER once they
59 : : * start streaming the WAL (and they never go back to ACTIVE after that).
60 : : *
61 : : * We also have a shared-memory field that is used for communication in
62 : : * the opposite direction, from postmaster to children: it tells why the
63 : : * postmaster has broadcasted SIGQUIT signals, if indeed it has done so.
