Here's a proposed patch that should fix this problem (and does, in my
testing). Would you please give it a try?
This patch changes two things:
1. in VACUUM or brin_summarize_new_values, we only process fully loaded
ranges, and ignore the partial range at end of table.
2. when summarization is requested on the partial range at the end of a
table, we acquire extension lock on the rel, then compute relation size
and run summarization with the lock held. This guarantees that we don't
miss any pages. This is bad for concurrency though, so it's only done
in that specific scenario.
