/*
 * Conceptually, the shared cache invalidation messages are stored in an
 * infinite array, where maxMsgNum is the next array subscript to store a
 * submitted message in, minMsgNum is the smallest array subscript containing
 * a message not yet read by all backends, and we always have maxMsgNum >=
 * minMsgNum.  (They are equal when there are no messages pending.)  For each
 * active backend, there is a nextMsgNum pointer indicating the next message it
 * needs to read; we have maxMsgNum >= nextMsgNum >= minMsgNum for every
 * backend.
 *
 * (In the current implementation, minMsgNum is a lower bound for the
 * per-process nextMsgNum values, but it isn't rigorously kept equal to the
 * smallest nextMsgNum --- it may lag behind.  We only update it when
 * SICleanupQueue is called, and we try not to do that often.)
 *
 * In reality, the messages are stored in a circular buffer of MAXNUMMESSAGES
 * entries.  We translate MsgNum values into circular-buffer indexes by
 * computing MsgNum % MAXNUMMESSAGES (this should be fast as long as
 * MAXNUMMESSAGES is a constant and a power of 2).	As long as maxMsgNum
 * doesn't exceed minMsgNum by more than MAXNUMMESSAGES, we have enough space
 * in the buffer.  If the buffer does overflow, we recover by setting the
 * "reset" flag for each backend that has fallen too far behind.  A backend
 * that is in "reset" state is ignored while determining minMsgNum.  When
 * it does finally attempt to receive inval messages, it must discard all
 * its invalidatable state, since it won't know what it missed.
 *
 * To reduce the probability of needing resets, we send a "catchup" interrupt
 * to any backend that seems to be falling unreasonably far behind.  The
 * normal behavior is that at most one such interrupt is in flight at a time;
 * when a backend completes processing a catchup interrupt, it executes
 * SICleanupQueue, which will signal the next-furthest-behind backend if
 * needed.	This avoids undue contention from multiple backends all trying
 * to catch up at once.  However, the furthest-back backend might be stuck
 * in a state where it can't catch up.  Eventually it will get reset, so it
 * won't cause any more problems for anyone but itself.  But we don't want
 * to find that a bunch of other backends are now too close to the reset
 * threshold to be saved.  So SICleanupQueue is designed to occasionally
 * send extra catchup interrupts as the queue gets fuller, to backends that
 * are far behind and haven't gotten one yet.  As long as there aren't a lot
 * of "stuck" backends, we won't need a lot of extra interrupts, since ones
 * that aren't stuck will propagate their interrupts to the next guy.
 *
 * We would have problems if the MsgNum values overflow an integer, so
 * whenever minMsgNum exceeds MSGNUMWRAPAROUND, we subtract MSGNUMWRAPAROUND
 * from all the MsgNum variables simultaneously.  MSGNUMWRAPAROUND can be
 * large so that we don't need to do this often.  It must be a multiple of
 * MAXNUMMESSAGES so that the existing circular-buffer entries don't need
 * to be moved when we do it.
 *
 * Access to the shared sinval array is protected by two locks, SInvalReadLock
 * and SInvalWriteLock.  Readers take SInvalReadLock in shared mode; this
 * authorizes them to modify their own ProcState but not to modify or even
 * look at anyone else's.  When we need to perform array-wide updates,
 * such as in SICleanupQueue, we take SInvalReadLock in exclusive mode to
 * lock out all readers.  Writers take SInvalWriteLock (always in exclusive
 * mode) to serialize adding messages to the queue.  Note that a writer
 * can operate in parallel with one or more readers, because the writer
 * has no need to touch anyone's ProcState, except in the infrequent cases
 * when SICleanupQueue is needed.  The only point of overlap is that
 * the writer wants to change maxMsgNum while readers need to read it.
 * We deal with that by having a spinlock that readers must take for just
 * long enough to read maxMsgNum, while writers take it for just long enough
 * to write maxMsgNum.	(The exact rule is that you need the spinlock to
 * read maxMsgNum if you are not holding SInvalWriteLock, and you need the
 * spinlock to write maxMsgNum unless you are holding both locks.)
 *
 * Note: since maxMsgNum is an int and hence presumably atomically readable/
 * writable, the spinlock might seem unnecessary.  The reason it is needed
 * is to provide a memory barrier: we need to be sure that messages written
 * to the array are actually there before maxMsgNum is increased, and that
 * readers will see that data after fetching maxMsgNum.  Multiprocessors
 * that have weak memory-ordering guarantees can fail without the memory
 * barrier instructions that are included in the spinlock sequences.

 * for a bit of additional overhead during backend startup/shutdown.
 * The high-order part of a VirtualTransactionId is a BackendId, and the
 * low-order part is a LocalTransactionId, which we assign from a local
 * counter.  To avoid the risk of a VirtualTransactionId being reused
 * within a short interval, successive procs occupying the same backend ID
 * slot should use a consecutive sequence of local IDs, which is implemented
 * by copying nextLocalTransactionId as seen above.
