hanged session on index creation - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi,
I'm running supposedly an easy operation - renaming index and my session hangs on it. pg_stat_activity shows that process is active and is waiting for lock:

=# select application_name, waiting, state, query from pg_stat_activity where pid = 15179;
application_name │ waiting │ state  │ query
─────────────────┼─────────┼────────┼─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
psql             │       t │ active │ ALTER INDEX ebsm.fki_eb_order_details_acquiring_order_details_guid RENAME TO idx_tst;locks for that database:

=# select locktype, relation, c.relname, virtualtransaction, pid, mode, granted, fastpath,
(SELECT MIN(l1.pid)
FROM pg_locks l1
WHERE GRANTED
AND (relation IN (SELECT relation FROM pg_locks l2 WHERE l2.pid = l.pid AND NOT granted)
OR
transactionid IN (SELECT transactionid FROM pg_locks l3 WHERE l3.pid = l.pid AND NOT granted))) AS blockedby
from pg_locks l
JOIN pg_class c ON c.oid = l.relation
where l.database in (select oid from pg_database where datname = 'mytstdb');

locktype ¦ relation ¦ relname ¦ virtualtransaction ¦ pid ¦ mode ¦ granted ¦ fastpath ¦ blockedby
---------+----------+---------------------------------------------------+--------------------+-------+---------------------+---------+----------+----------

(9 rows)So, it seems like no other sessions blocks my session. (If it makes sense, the fields page, tuple, virtualxid, transactionid, classid, objid, objsubid have NULL values).
There is no activity on cpu/hdd and even no activity inside process

# strace -p 15179
Process 15179 attached - interrupt to quit
recvfrom(9, "Q\0\0\0\200ALTER INDEX ebsm.fki_eb_ord"..., 8192, 0, NULL, NULL) = 129
setitimer(ITIMER_REAL, {it_interval={0, 0}, it_value={1, 0}}, NULL) = 0
semop(16973888, {{2, -1, 0}}, 1) = -1 EINTR (Interrupted system call)
--- SIGALRM (Alarm clock) @ 0 (0) ---
rt_sigreturn(0x1c4f7260806a7) = -1 EINTR (Interrupted system call)
semop(16973888, {{2, -1, 0}}, 1and no further action within hours. Perf and top shows the same: no action performing by process.

The situation is reproducible: i can interrupt the process, run index renaming again and i'll get the same situation, described above.

Is there any ideas what is happening inside the database?
