I have not checked the patch in details yet, but it strikes me that
we should have an isolation test case which does the following:
- Take a lock on the table created, without committing yet the
transaction where the lock is taken.
- Run two REINDEX CONCURRENTLY in two other sessions.
- Commit the first transaction.
The result should be no deadlocks happening in the two sessions
running the reindex. I can see the deadlock easily with three psql
sessions, running manually the queries.
