I recently began trying to write documentation for the dynamic shared
memory registry feature [0], and I noticed that the "Shared Memory and
LWLocks" section of the documentation might need some improvement. At
least, I felt that it would be hard to add any new content to this section
without making it very difficult to follow.
Concretely, I am proposing breaking it into two sections: one for shared
memory and one for LWLocks. Furthermore, the LWLocks section will be split
into two: one for requesting locks at server startup and one for requesting
locks after server startup. I intend to also split the shared memory
section into at-startup and after-startup sections if/when the dynamic
shared memory registry feature is committed.
Besides this restructuring, I felt that certain parts of this documentation
could benefit from rephrasing and/or additional detail.
Thoughts?
