…sue malisper#61) Slot-exhaustion red test: a pinned old-xmin serializable xact keeps ClearOldPredicateLocks from freeing committed sxacts while churning writers drain the (MaxBackends + max_prepared_xacts) * 10 pool; the overflow must summarize into the pg_serial SLRU, not panic. Extends the test harness with the SLRU seams (file/pgstat/shmem-init) and a datadir cwd, and makes test_acquire_sxact mirror the real snapshot path's unported-arm panic so the red run reproduces the issue exactly. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
InitPredicateLocks sizes the SERIALIZABLEXID hash with max_table_size
AFTER the *= 10 ('must agree with PredicateLockShmemSize', which the
port's ShmemSize already estimates at 10x). The port passed the
un-multiplied count, so RegisterPredicateLockingXid hit 'out of shared
memory' at ~(MaxBackends + max_prepared_xacts) registered xids — an
order of magnitude before SERIALIZABLEXACT slot exhaustion, where C is
designed to summarize instead. Surfaced by the issue-malisper#61 red test.

…alisper#61) C-exact port of predicate.c's serial lane: SerialInit now stands up the pg_serial SLRU (SerialPagePrecedesLogically + C's assert-only unit tests), SerialAdd zeroes the tail..target window under SerialControlLock + bank lock and stores the min conflict commitSeqNo, SerialGetMinConflict- CommitSeqNo reads it back, and CheckPointPredicate truncates/flushes the SLRU. SERIALIZABLEXACT exhaustion now runs C's summarize-and-retry loop (SummarizeOldestCommittedSxact over the finished list into SerialAdd + ReleaseOneSerializableXact's already-ported summarize arm) instead of panicking. PredicateLockShmemSize accounts the control struct + SLRU. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…alisper#62) SET TRANSACTION SNAPSHOT into a SERIALIZABLE transaction reaches SetSerializableTransactionSnapshot's unported import arm and panics. Give the seam and engine function C's real signature (snapshot xmin + sourcevxid/sourcepid; vxid None = the parallel-restore call that returns before touching it), stand up the real proc array in the predicate test harness, and add the red test: import from a live source backend must build a SERIALIZABLEXACT on the source's xmin, and a vanished source must be a normal ERROR, not a panic. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
C-exact scan of the proc array for the source virtual transaction (PROC_IN_VACUUM filter, vxid procNumber+lxid match, same-database and covering-xmin checks) under a shared ProcArrayLock, installing the imported xmin into MyProc->xmin and TransactionXmin. Needed by both snapmgr's SET TRANSACTION SNAPSHOT arm (which wrongly reused the parallel-restore ProcArrayInstallRestoredXmin) and predicate.c's serializable snapshot-import arm. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
GetSerializableTransactionSnapshotInt grows C's sourcevxid arm: skip GetSnapshotData (the snapshot contents are already loaded) and instead re-check under SerializableXactHashLock that the source xact still runs via ProcArrayInstallImportedXmin, erroring 55000 'could not import the requested snapshot' when it doesn't. SetSerializableTransactionSnapshot wires SET TRANSACTION SNAPSHOT into it instead of panicking. snapmgr's SetTransactionSnapshot takes C's (sourcevxid, sourcepid, sourceproc) shape: ImportSnapshot now passes the exported vxid + pid so the SQL lane goes through ProcArrayInstallImportedXmin's identity check (it previously reused the parallel-restore ProcArrayInstallRestoredXmin with just the proc number, skipping the lxid/database checks entirely and discarding the exported pid), while RestoreTransactionSnapshot keeps the sourceproc arm.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR implements serializable snapshot import, validates source virtual transactions before installing imported xmin, adds pg_serial SLRU persistence, summarizes exhausted serializable transactions, and adds unit and end-to-end coverage. ChangesSerializable snapshot and serial state
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR adds serializable snapshot import and stronger source-transaction validation, but a narrow import path can still abort the backend instead of returning a normal SQL error when the source identity is missing.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Replace the panic with a normal error for a missing sourcevxid.
crates/backend/utils/time/snapmgr/src/lib.rs (Lines 552-580) reaches this seam with sourcevxid = None whenever RestoreTransactionSnapshot runs under serializable isolation. That path returns early only if is_parallel_worker() is true. is_parallel_worker is a seam. If the seam is not installed, or if a future caller reuses RestoreTransactionSnapshot outside a worker, this code aborts the backend.
This PR exists to remove a backend panic on the snapshot-import path. A panic! here reintroduces one for a neighbouring input. Return a PgResult error instead. The caller then reports a normal ERROR.
🛡️ Proposed fix
- // C's NULL-vxid fallthrough would take a fresh snapshot, but every
- // non-parallel-worker caller is the snapshot-import lane, which always
- // carries the source vxid.
- let sourcevxid = sourcevxid.unwrap_or_else(|| {
- panic!("SetSerializableTransactionSnapshot without a source vxid outside a parallel worker")
- });
+ // C's NULL-vxid fallthrough would take a fresh snapshot here, but the
+ // marshal only carries the xmin, so a fresh snapshot is not reachable.
+ // Every non-parallel-worker caller is the snapshot-import lane, which

Digging into the lane also surfaced a second, quieter bug: pgrust'sImportSnapshot(the non-serializable import path, already "ported") was funneling intoProcArrayInstallRestoredXmin— the parallel-worker variant keyed on just a proc number — instead of C'sProcArrayInstallImportedXmin. That skips the vxid (procNumber + lxid) identity check, the same-database check, and the PROC_IN_VACUUM filter, and discards the exported pid: an import racing with the source session ending could silently accept an xmin from an unrelated backend occupying the recycled proc slot, where C rejects it with "could not import the requested snapshot".Changes (PG 18.3 C-exact)
