pgsql: Arrange for read-only accesses to SLRU page buffers to take only - Mailing list pgsql-committers

Log Message:
-----------
Arrange for read-only accesses to SLRU page buffers to take only a shared
lock, not exclusive, if the desired page is already in memory.  This can
be demonstrated to be a significant win on the pg_subtrans cache when there
is a large window of open transactions.  It should be useful for pg_clog
as well.  I didn't try to make GetMultiXactIdMembers() use the code, as
that would have taken some restructuring, and what with the local cache
for multixact contents it probably wouldn't really make a difference.
Per my recent proposal.
