Measure WaitLatch's timeout parameter in milliseconds, not microseconds.
Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>
Measure WaitLatch's timeout parameter in milliseconds, not microseconds. The original definition had the problem that timeouts exceeding about 2100 seconds couldn't be specified on 32-bit machines. Milliseconds seem like sufficient resolution, and finer grain than that would be fantasy anyway on many platforms. Back-patch to 9.1 so that this aspect of the latch API won't change between 9.1 and later releases. Peter Geoghegan
