Shared Memory: How to use SYSV rather than MMAP ?

Hi,

On AIX, since with MMAP we have only 4K pages though we can have 64K pages with SYSV, we'd like to experiment with SYSV rather than MMAP and measure the impact to the performance.

Looking at file: src/include/storage/dsm_impl.h , it seemed to me that replacing the line:

#define DEFAULT_DYNAMIC_SHARED_MEMORY_TYPE             DSM_IMPL_POSIX
by the line:
#define DEFAULT_DYNAMIC_SHARED_MEMORY_TYPE             DSM_IMPL_SYSV

export LDR_CNTRL=SHMPSIZE=64K

ldedit -btextpsize=64k -bdatapsize=64k -bstackpsize=64k ...../postgres

However, when looking at details by means of procmap tool, it is unclear if that worked or not.

Maybe I was lost by the variables:

     HAVE_SHM_OPEN  .  USE_DSM_POSIX   .   USE_DSM_SYSV   .   USE_DSM_MMAP

which are all defined.

So, what should I do in order to use SYSV rather than MMAP for the Shared Memory ?

(PostgreSQL v11.1)

Thanks/Regards,
