    Notify bgworker registrant after freeing worker slot. · aea5d298
    Robert Haas authored
    Tom Lane observed buildfarm failures caused by the select_parallel
    regression test trying to launch new parallel queries before the
    worker slots used by the previous ones were freed.  Try to fix this by
    having the postmaster free the worker slots before it sends the
    SIGUSR1 notifications to the registering process.  This doesn't
    completely eliminate the possibility that the user backend might
    (correctly) observe the worker as dead before the slot is free, but I
    believe it should make the window significantly narrower.
    
    Patch by me, per complaint from Tom Lane.  Reviewed by Amit Kapila.
