Does it actually matter? I wouldn't have thought the I/O locks had
enough traffic for it to make any difference.
But in any case I think the right solution is probably this:
--- a/src/backend/storage/ipc/shmem.c
+++ b/src/backend/storage/ipc/shmem.c
@@ -173,7 +173,7 @@ ShmemAlloc(Size size)
/*
* ensure all space is adequately aligned.
*/
- size = MAXALIGN(size);
+ size = CACHELINEALIGN(size);
Assert(ShmemSegHdr != NULL);
It's stupid that we keep spending time and energy figuring out which
shared memory data structures require alignment and which ones don't.
Let's just align them *all* and be done with it. The memory cost
shouldn't be more than a few kB.
