Sorry, I was confused here. autovacuum is not crashing as I said; the
BACKTRACE lines from the LOG added by Tom's debugging patch:
+ if (trace_toast_visibility)
+ ereport(LOG,
+ errmsg("HeapTupleSatisfiesToast: xmin %u t_infomask 0x%04x",
+ HeapTupleHeaderGetXmin(tuple),
+ tuple->t_infomask),
+ debug_query_string ? 0 : errbacktrace());
2021-10-17 22:56:57.066 CDT autovacuum worker[19601] LOG: HeapTupleSatisfiesToast: xmin 2 t_infomask 0x0b02
2021-10-17 22:56:57.066 CDT autovacuum worker[19601] BACKTRACE:
...
I see that the pg_statistic problem can still occur on v14. I still don't have
a recipe to reproduce it, though, other than running VACUUM FULL in a loop.
Can I provide anything useful to debug it? xmin, infomask, core, and
log_autovacuum_min_duration=0 ??
