Hi,

Currently pg_start_backup() accesses the shared ControlFile
by using ControlFileLock with LW_EXCLUSIVE lock mode. But
since that access is read-only operation, LW_SHARED should
be chosen instead of LW_EXCLUSIVE.

The attached patch changes the lock mode which pg_start_backup()
uses. Is it worth applying this patch?

Regards,
