xfunc.sgml:

+ after allocating LWLocks, verify that the number of
allocated
+ LWLocks is same as requested;

Did you mean to put this check in ?

lwlock.c:

+ * GetLWLockAddinTranche - returns the base address of LWLock from the
+ * specified tranche.
+ *
+ * Caller needs to retrieve the requested number of LWLocks starting from
+ * the base lock address returned by this API. This can be used for
+ * tranches that are requested by using RequestAddinLWLockTranche() API.
+ */
+LWLockPadded *
+GetLWLockAddinTranche(const char *tranche_name)
+{

I understand why the signature is the way it is, but

LWLock *
GetLWLockAddinTranche(const char *tranche_name)

would be nicer to work with for extensions IMHO. Not likely worth the
trouble though.

Thanks for working on this.

Best regards,
Jesper
