Hi,
Prompted by Andres Freund's comments on my Freezing without Write I/O
patch, I realized that there's there's an existing bug in the way
predicate locking handles freezing (or rather, it doesn't handle it).
When a tuple is predicate-locked, the key of the lock is ctid+xmin.
However, when a tuple is frozen, its xmin is changed to FrozenXid. That
effectively invalidates any predicate lock on the tuple, as checking for
a lock on the same tuple later won't find it as the xmin is different.
Attached is an isolationtester spec to demonstrate this.
