XactLockTableWait函数、transactionid锁的一些原理和分析
结论
- 更新行时，会根据xmax拿transactionid锁，等对应的事务结束。
- 如果结束是回滚，则heap_update继续更新。
- 如果结束时提交，则heap_update要返回上层ExecUpdate调用EvalPlanQual重新拿到数据再更新（也有可能更新后不符合谓词就看不到了）。
场景
先执行事务1更新3为30，不提交。
再执行事务2更新所有小于10的数。
代码语言：javascript复制drop table t81;
create table t81(i int);
insert into t81 select t.i from generate_series(1,5) t(i);
-- 事务745
begin;
update t81 set i = 30 where i = 3;
-- 事务746
begin;
update t81 set i = 100 where i < 10;事务二的update会卡住等待事务1。

...可以看到事务746在等待事务745的transactionid锁。
事务746流程分析
heap_update拿到目标元组的otid和拼好的新元组后
heap_update(Relation relation, ItemPointer otid, HeapTuple newtup, ...)
先把buffer锁上，因为另一个事务已经更新完了，所以buffer锁当前可以拿到。
LockBuffer(buffer, BUFFER_LOCK_EXCLUSIVE);
然后拿到被修改元组的xmax，万一被别人改了呢？例如这里xwait=745，且745还没提交。
xwait = HeapTupleHeaderGetRawXmax(oldtup.t_data);
注意这里要先放buffer，因为有可能别的事务会修改，后面需要重新锁上拿数据
LockBuffer(buffer, BUFFER_LOCK_UNLOCK);
先把行锁拿到，避免别人正在更新
heap_acquire_tuplock(relation, &(oldtup.t_self), LockTupleNoKeyExclusive, LockWaitBlock, &have_tuple_lock);
在去拿xmax=745的事务锁，确保修改那个事务已经没了
XactLockTableWait(xwait, relation, &oldtup.t_self, XLTW_Update);
这里会加transactionid的ShareLock模式。
- 746事务自己拿了一个transactionid ExclusiveLock因为自己也更新了数据。
- 745事务有写入数据，所以745已经拿到transactionid的ExclusiveLock。
- 746事务去获取745的transactionid ShareLock，开始等锁。
这里等锁就发生了，保证了RC级别的隔离性。

- 那么事务2就不应该更新3这条数据了。代码继续运行会检查oldtup.t_data，确认xmax到底有没有回滚。这里heap_update不会继续进行更新动作了，直接返回TM_Updated。外层函数ExecUpdate收到TM_Updated后，会调用EvalPlanQual重新读取这一行数据，如果还能看到就返回epqslot新元组下面重新更新；如果现在已经看不到这一行了，就返回NULL，这次的更新就结束了。
- 如果事务745发生了回滚
- 那么事务2就还能看到3这条数据。代码继续运行检查发现xmax已经回滚了，可以继续更新，所以在heap_update中完成了本次更新，返回TM_Ok。
