Hello hackers,
Our prod databases are still PG 9.6.24. We have one primary plus 3 stream replications that are all working well for a long time. However, when I promoted one standby database to the primary role, we the the below error message from the PG log:
=======================

Here is the message from dmesg:

Error 4 is the error related to unmapping memory. But the database works well for long time as the standby database. After it was promoted to the primary role, no memory parameter change at all.
Could you give us some hint where to fix this issue?

Kevin
