Yeach, you are 100% right. Actually, along this thread, we have not
spotted any GIN bugs yet, only GIN amcheck bugs.

This turns out to be also an GIN amcheck bug:

Turns out we compare page entries for different attributes in
gin_check_parent_keys_consistency.

Trivial fix attached (see v37-0004). I now simply compare current and
prev attribute numbers. This revolves issue discovered by
`v0-0001-Add-a-reproducible-test-case-for-verify_gin-error.patch.no_apply`.
However, the stress test seems to still not pass. On my pc, it never
ens, all processes are in
DELETE waiting/UPDATE waiting state. I will take another look tomorrow.



p.s. I am just about to send this message, while i discovered we now
miss v34-0003-Add-gist_index_check-function-to-verify-GiST-ind.patch &
v34-0005-Add-GiST-support-to-pg_amcheck.patch from this patch series
