Stop bgworkers during fast shutdown with postmaster in startup phase

michaelpq · michaelpq · commit 35622f7d3210 · 2018-08-29T17:10:13.000-07:00
When a postmaster gets into its phase PM_STARTUP, it would start background workers using BgWorkerStart_PostmasterStart mode immediately, which would cause problems for a fast shutdown as the postmaster forgets to send SIGTERM to already-started background workers. With smart and immediate shutdowns, this correctly happened, and fast shutdown is the only mode missing the shot.
