I've toyed around with
$node->append_conf('postgresql.conf', 'debug_invalidate_system_caches_always = 3'); in test.
I had failures only at most with
Assert(in_progress_offset < 4);
See [0] for stack trace. But I do not think that it proves that deeper calls are impossible with other DB schemas.

Done so.
Step 1. Test for CIC with regular transactions.
Step 2. Fix
Step 3. Test for CIC with 2PC
Step 4. Part of the fix that I'm sure about
Step 5. Dubious part of fix...

I had to refactor subs pgbench and pgbench_background to be reused among tests. Though I did not refactor pgbench tests
touse this functions: they have two different versions for sub pgbench.

Fixed.

Fixed.

I've tried this approach. Advisory lock owns vxid, thus deadlocking with CIC.

I've tuned tests for my laptop to observe probabilistic test to pass sometimes.

Fixed.

How to you think, do we have a chance to fix things before next release on August 12th?

Thanks!
