pgsql: Acquire properly session-level lock on new index in REINDEX CONC - Mailing list pgsql-committers

Acquire properly session-level lock on new index in REINDEX CONCURRENTLY

In the first transaction run for REINDEX CONCURRENTLY, a thinko in the
existing logic caused two session locks to be taken on the old index,
causing the session lock on the newly-created index to be missed.  This
made possible concurrent DDL commands (like ALTER INDEX) on the new
index while REINDEX CONCURRENTLY was processing from the point where the
first internal transaction committed.

This issue has been discovered while digging into another bug.
