pgsql: Retry after buffer locking failure during SPGiST index creation. - Mailing list pgsql-committers

Retry after buffer locking failure during SPGiST index creation.

The original coding thought this case was impossible, but it can happen
if the bgwriter or checkpointer processes decide to write out an index
page while creation is still proceeding, leading to a bogus "unexpected
spgdoinsert() failure" error.  Problem reported by Jonathan S. Katz.
