Tom Lane 4fb56a734d Avoid deadlock during orphan temp table removal.
If temp tables have dependencies (such as sequences) then it's
possible for autovacuum's cleanup of orphan temp tables to deadlock
against an incoming backend that's trying to clean out the temp
namespace for its own use.  That can happen because RemoveTempRelations'
performDeletion call can visit objects within the namespace in
an order different from the order in which a per-table deletion
will visit them.

To fix, observe that performDeletion will begin by taking an exclusive
lock on the temp namespace (even though it won't actually delete it).
So, if we can get a shared lock on the namespace, we can be sure we're
not running concurrently with RemoveTempRelations, while also not
conflicting with ordinary use of the namespace.  This requires
introducing a conditional version of LockDatabaseObject, but that's no
big deal.  (It's surprising we've got along without that this long.)

Report and patch by Mikhail Zhilin.  Back-patch to all supported
branches.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download/

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
