Thread: [HACKERS] Double shared memory allocation for SLRU LWLocks

I think you are right.

Did you check previous versions? i.e. should it be applyed to previous 
branches?? I suppose yes, to minimize code difference.

Also I'd like an idea to add Assert(offset <= SimpleLruShmemSize(nslots, nlsns)) 
at the end of SimpleLruInit()
