   IPC/MultixactCreation

   Waiting for a multixact creation to complete.

   Waiting for a multixact creation to complete.

触发机制

目录中仍保留该身份，但源码审计确认在 17.8+, 18.2+ 已没有活动报告点。已知曾可触发范围：17.0-17.7, 18.0-18.1。下方定义位置作为负面证据保留；当前精确版本不会从核心代码路径发出此事件。 证据：[PostgreSQL 17.8 release note](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/17/release-17-8.html)、[PostgreSQL 18.2 release note](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/18/release-18-2.html)。

The catalog identity is present, but source audit found no live reporter in 17.8+, 18.2+. Known active ranges: 17.0-17.7, 18.0-18.1. The definition location below is retained as negative evidence; this exact release cannot emit the event from a core code path. Evidence: [PostgreSQL 17.8 release note](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/17/release-17-8.html), [PostgreSQL 18.2 release note](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/18/release-18-2.html).

诊断 SQL

直接在 psql 里跑；标注的是语句里用到的视图与列所要求的最低版本。

处置步骤

1. 确认事件所指的对端或阶段。
2. 检查该参与者的等待、错误与进展状态。
3. 修复停滞的参与者或上游依赖，不要把等待者当作根因。

源码证据

图谱在各版本源码树里核对到的位置，新的在前。「触发点」是真正上报等待事件的调用处，「目录定义」只说明这个名字在枚举里存在。
