Amit Kapila 8ce29bb4f0 Fix the buffer release order for parallel index scans.
During parallel index scans, if the current page to be read is deleted, we
skip it and try to get the next page for a scan without releasing the buffer
lock on the current page.  To get the next page, sometimes it needs to wait
for another process to complete its scan and advance it to the next page.
Now, it is quite possible that the master backend has errored out before
advancing the scan and issued a termination signal for all workers.  The
workers failed to notice the termination request during wait because the
interrupts are held due to buffer lock on the previous page.  This lead to
all workers being stuck.

The fix is to release the buffer lock on current page before trying to get
the next page.  We are already doing same in backward scans, but missed
it for forward scans.

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:

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
