pgsql-server: Tweak code so that pg_subtrans is never consulted for XIDs - Mailing list pgsql-committers

Log Message:
-----------
Tweak code so that pg_subtrans is never consulted for XIDs older than
RecentXmin (== MyProc->xmin).  This ensures that it will be safe to
truncate pg_subtrans at RecentGlobalXmin, which should largely eliminate
any fear of bloat.  Along the way, eliminate SubTransXidsHaveCommonAncestor,
which isn't really needed and could not give a trustworthy result anyway
under the lookback restriction.
In an unrelated but nearby change, #ifdef out GetUndoRecPtr, which has
been dead code since 2001 and seems unlikely to ever be resurrected.
