Thread: pgsql: Fix race condition in committing a serializable transaction
Fix race condition in committing a serializable transaction The finished transaction list can contain XIDs that are older than the serializable global xmin. It's a short-lived state; ClearOldPredicateLocks() removes any such transactions from the list, and it's called whenever the global xmin advances. But if another backend calls SummarizeOldestCommittedSxact() in that window, it will call SerialAdd() on an XID that's older than the global xmin, or if there are no more transactions running, when global xmin is invalid. That trips the assertion in SerialAdd(). Fixes bug #18658 reported by Andrew Bille. Thanks to Alexander Lakhin for analysis. Backpatch to all versions.
