- fix-drop-index-concurrently.patch (text/plain) patch
I just observed that if I run src/test/regress' "make installcheck-parallel" and concurrently src/test/isolation's "make installcheck", I very reproducibly get a segfault (in an assert-enabled build). Apparently the problem is that somebody is trying to transfer predicate locks to a relation, but the index' relcache entry is pfreed. I think the fix is just to move the heap_open calls some lines upwards, as in the attached patch. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Training & Services
