This can lead to deadlocks during parallel restore. Test case:

create table bar (a int primary key, b int);
create table baz (z int, a int references bar);
create view foo as select a, b, sum(1) from bar group by a union all
select z, a, 0 from baz;

I dumped this with: pg_dump -Fc -s -f test.dmp
Then: while (dropdb rhaas; createdb; pg_restore -O -d rhaas -j3
test.dmp); do true; done

This quickly fails for me with:

pg_restore: [archiver (db)] Error while PROCESSING TOC:
pg_restore: [archiver (db)] Error from TOC entry 2155; 2606 47822 FK
CONSTRAINT baz_a_fkey rhaas
pg_restore: [archiver (db)] could not execute query: ERROR: deadlock detected
DETAIL: Process 81791 waits for AccessExclusiveLock on relation 47862

Process 81789 waits for AccessShareLock on relation 47865 of database
47861; blocked by process 81791.
HINT: See server log for query details.
Command was: ALTER TABLE ONLY baz
ADD CONSTRAINT baz_a_fkey FOREIGN KEY (a) REFERENCES bar(a);
WARNING: errors ignored on restore: 2

The attached patch seems to fix it for me.

Comments?
