Hi Thomas,

You might have missed a spot to initialize SERIALIZABLE_XACT->pgprocno in
InitPredicateLocks(), so:

+ PredXact->OldCommittedSxact->pgprocno = INVALID_PGPROCNO;

Slightly tangential: we should add a comment to PGPROC.pgprocno, for more
immediate understandability:

+ int pgprocno; /* index of this PGPROC in ProcGlobal->allProcs */

Also, why don't we take the opportunity to get rid of SERIALIZABLEXACT->pid? We
took a stab. Attached is v2 of your patch with these changes.

Regards,
Ashwin and Deep

Subject: [PATCH v2 1/1] Optimize ProcSendSignal().

Instead of referring to target processes by pid, use pgprocno so that we
don't have to scan the ProcArray and keep track of the startup process.
