Now I basically finished recovery for GiST (of course, it's need a hard testing)
and go to concurrency. As it described in Kornaker, Mohan and Hellerstein's
paper
(http://www.sai.msu.su/~megera/postgres/gist/papers/concurrency/sigmod97-gist.pdf)
it's need a way to get global LSN, in our case - XLogRecPtr of last changed
page. As I understand, I can't use ProcLastRecPtr because it is one-process
wide, I need value stored in shared memory. So, may I add method to xlog.c like
this:
/* * The returning recptr is the beginning of the current record to fill. * This value is already stored as LSN for
changeddata pages. */
XLogRecPtr
GetCurrentRecPtr(void) { XLogCtlInsert *Insert = &XLogCtl->Insert; XLogRecPtr RecPtr;
LWLockAcquire(WALInsertLock, LW_SHARED); INSERT_RECPTR(RecPtr, Insert, Insert->curridx);
LWLockRelease(WALInsertLock);
return RecPtr;
}
