Yeah, I think your analysis is right. It shouldn't do so while
holding the lock. dsm_unpin_segment() should perhaps release it
before it raises an error, something like:

I have contemplated that before, but not done it because I'm not sure
about the state of the system after that; we just shouldn't be in this
situation, because if we are, it means that we can error out when
later segments (in the array dsa_release_in_place() loops through)
remain pinned forever and we'll leak memory and run out of DSM slots.
Segment pinning is opting out of resource owner control, which means
the client code is responsible for not screwing it up. Perhaps that
suggests we should PANIC, or perhaps just LOG and continue, but I'm
not sure.
I think the root cause is earlier and in a different process (see
ProcessInterrupt() in the stack). Presumably one that reported
"dsa_area could not attach to segment" is closer to the point where
things go wrong. If you are in a position to reproduce this on a
modified source tree, it'd be good to see the back trace for that, to
figure out which of a couple of possible code paths reach it. Perhaps
you could do that by enabling core files and changing this:
- elog(ERROR, "dsa_area could not attach to segment");
+ elog(PANIC, "dsa_area could not attach to segment");
I have so far not succeeded in reaching that condition.
