Hello,
This is about the TAP test src/test/postmaster/t/003_start_stop.pl. The test contains a loop that performs 21
iterationsin order to use all possible connection slots. We could calculate the number of available connections more
accurately.It relates to the size of backend pool that is defined in src/backend/postmaster/pmchild.c:
pmchild_pools[B_BACKEND].size = 2 * (MaxConnections + max_wal_senders);
There are two points here: (1) in current implementation the test performs 11 extra iterations instead of 10 that are
reallyneeded. (2) We need to change the hardcoded value every time if the number of max connections or the number of
maxwal senders are changed. If we use 2 * (MaxConnections + max_wal_senders) the test becomes a bit convinent.
The patch attached.
Best regards,
Alexander Potapov
