Thanks everyone for the analysis downthread.  Here's a test case that
provokes the crash faster.  Initialize with

create table brin_test (a text);
create index on brin_test using brin (a) with (pages_per_range = 1);

Then in one psql, run this:
select brin_summarize_new_values('brin_test_a_idx') \watch 0.1

and a pgbench running a script with this line (one client is enough):

insert into brin_test values (repeat(chr(ascii('A') + int4(random() * 61)), int4(random() * 200)));

It crashes in 10-20 seconds for me.

Commits

  1. Fix BRIN summarization concurrent with extension

  2. Fix corner-case errors in brin_doupdate().

  3. Rewrite PageIndexDeleteNoCompact into a form that only deletes 1 tuple.

  4. Invent PageIndexTupleOverwrite, and teach BRIN and GiST to use it.

  5. Close some holes in BRIN page assignment
