 * bgwriter.c
 *
 * The background writer (bgwriter) is new in Postgres 8.0.  It attempts
 * to keep regular backends from having to write out dirty shared buffers
 * (which they would only do when needing to free a shared buffer to read in
 * another page).  In the best scenario all writes from shared buffers will
 * be issued by the background writer process.	However, regular backends are
 * still empowered to issue writes if the bgwriter fails to maintain enough
 * clean shared buffers.
 *
 * The bgwriter is also charged with handling all checkpoints.	It will
 * automatically dispatch a checkpoint after a certain amount of time has
 * elapsed since the last one, and it can be signaled to perform requested
 * checkpoints as well.  (The GUC parameter that mandates a checkpoint every
 * so many WAL segments is implemented by having backends signal the bgwriter
 * when they fill WAL segments; the bgwriter itself doesn't watch for the
 * condition.)
 *
 * The bgwriter is started by the postmaster as soon as the startup subprocess
 * finishes.  It remains alive until the postmaster commands it to terminate.
 * Normal termination is by SIGUSR2, which instructs the bgwriter to execute
 * a shutdown checkpoint and then exit(0).	(All backends must be stopped
 * before SIGUSR2 is issued!)  Emergency termination is by SIGQUIT; like any
 * backend, the bgwriter will simply abort and exit on SIGQUIT.
 *
 * If the bgwriter exits unexpectedly, the postmaster treats that the same
 * as a backend crash: shared memory may be corrupted, so remaining backends
 * should be killed by SIGQUIT and then a recovery cycle started.  (Even if
 * shared memory isn't corrupted, we have lost information about which
 * files need to be fsync'd for the next checkpoint, and so a system
 * restart needs to be forced.)

/*----------
 * Shared memory area for communication between bgwriter and backends
 *
 * The ckpt counters allow backends to watch for completion of a checkpoint
 * request they send.  Here's how it works:
 *	* At start of a checkpoint, bgwriter increments ckpt_started.
 *	* On completion of a checkpoint, bgwriter sets ckpt_done to
 *	  equal ckpt_started.
 *	* On failure of a checkpoint, bgwrite first increments ckpt_failed,
 *	  then sets ckpt_done to equal ckpt_started.
 * All three fields are declared sig_atomic_t to ensure they can be read
 * and written without explicit locking.  The algorithm for backends is:
 *	1. Record current values of ckpt_failed and ckpt_started (in that
 *	   order!).
 *	2. Send signal to request checkpoint.
 *	3. Sleep until ckpt_started changes.  Now you know a checkpoint has
 *	   begun since you started this algorithm (although *not* that it was
 *	   specifically initiated by your signal).
 *	4. Record new value of ckpt_started.
 *	5. Sleep until ckpt_done >= saved value of ckpt_started.  (Use modulo
 *	   arithmetic here in case counters wrap around.)  Now you know a
 *	   checkpoint has started and completed, but not whether it was
 *	   successful.
 *	6. If ckpt_failed is different from the originally saved value,
 *	   assume request failed; otherwise it was definitely successful.
 *
 * An additional field is ckpt_time_warn; this is also sig_atomic_t for
 * simplicity, but is only used as a boolean.  If a backend is requesting
 * a checkpoint for which a checkpoints-too-close-together warning is
 * reasonable, it should set this field TRUE just before sending the signal.
 *
 * The requests array holds fsync requests sent by backends and not yet
 * absorbed by the bgwriter.  Unlike the checkpoint fields, the requests
 * fields are protected by BgWriterCommLock.
