 * snapmgr.c
 *      PostgreSQL snapshot manager
 *
 * We keep track of snapshots in two ways: those "registered" by resowner.c,
 * and the "active snapshot" stack.  All snapshots in either of them live in
 * persistent memory.  When a snapshot is no longer in any of these lists
 * (tracked by separate refcounts on each snapshot), its memory can be freed.
 *
 * The FirstXactSnapshot, if any, is treated a bit specially: we increment its
 * regd_count and list it in RegisteredSnapshots, but this reference is not
 * tracked by a resource owner. We used to use the TopTransactionResourceOwner
 * to track this snapshot reference, but that introduces logical circularity
 * and thus makes it impossible to clean up in a sane fashion.  It's better to
 * handle this reference as an internally-tracked registration, so that this
 * module is entirely lower-level than ResourceOwners.
 *
 * Likewise, any snapshots that have been exported by pg_export_snapshot
 * have regd_count = 1 and are listed in RegisteredSnapshots, but are not
 * tracked by any resource owner.
 *
 * Likewise, the CatalogSnapshot is listed in RegisteredSnapshots when it
 * is valid, but is not tracked by any resource owner.
 *
 * The same is true for historic snapshots used during logical decoding,
 * their lifetime is managed separately (as they live longer than one xact.c
 * transaction).
 *
 * These arrangements let us reset MyPgXact->xmin when there are no snapshots
 * referenced by this transaction, and advance it when the one with oldest
 * Xmin is no longer referenced.  For simplicity however, only registered
 * snapshots not active snapshots participate in tracking which one is oldest;
 * we don't try to change MyPgXact->xmin except when the active-snapshot
 * stack is empty.
