Re: BUG #15290: Stuck Parallel Index Scan query - Mailing list pgsql-bugs

Ok, I see it:

                        /* check for interrupts while we're not
holding any buffer lock */
                        CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS();
                        /* step right one page */
                        so->currPos.buf = _bt_getbuf(rel, blkno, BT_READ);
                        ...
                        /* nope, keep going */
                        if (scan->parallel_scan != NULL)
                        {
                                status = _bt_parallel_seize(scan, &blkno);

That leads to a condition variable wait, while we still hold that
buffer lock.  That prevents interrupts.  Oops.
