	 * XXX by storing xid into MyProc without acquiring ProcArrayLock, we are
	 * relying on fetch/store of an xid to be atomic, else other backends
	 * might see a partially-set xid here.	But holding both locks at once
	 * would be a nasty concurrency hit.  So for now, assume atomicity.

	 * times and get the same answer each time.
	 *
	 * The same comments apply to the subxact xid count and overflow fields.
	 *
	 * A solution to the atomic-store problem would be to give each PGPROC its
	 * own spinlock used only for fetching/storing that PGPROC's xid and
	 * related fields.
	 *
	 * If there's no room to fit a subtransaction XID into PGPROC, set the
	 * cache-overflowed flag instead.  This forces readers to look in
	 * pg_subtrans to map subtransaction XIDs up to top-level XIDs. There is a
	 * race-condition window, in that the new XID will not appear as running
	 * until its parent link has been placed into pg_subtrans. However, that
	 * will happen before anyone could possibly have a reason to inquire about
	 * the status of the XID, so it seems OK.  (Snapshots taken during this
	 * window *will* include the parent XID, so they will deliver the correct
	 * answer later on when someone does have a reason to inquire.)
