Thanks for the patch!
The patch basically looks good to me.
+GRANT SELECT (f1, fz), UPDATE (fz) ON atestc TO regress_priv_user2;
+REVOKE TRUNCATE ON atestc FROM regress_priv_user2;
These seem not to be necessary for the test.
BTW, I found that LOCK TABLE on the parent table checks the permission
of its child tables. This also needs to be fixed (as a separate patch)?
