Hi

I met a deadlock when I update amounts of text-type data with multiple clients.
And there's no deadlock if I set autovacuum to off. Error messages about the
deadlock are as follows.

2021-09-14 09:18:40.392 CST [428452] ERROR:  deadlock detected
2021-09-14 09:18:40.392 CST [428452] DETAIL:  Process 428452 waits for ShareLock on transaction 1725; blocked by

        Process 428455 waits for ShareLock on transaction 1723; blocked by process 428452.
        Process 428452: UPDATE tbl SET body = upper(body);

2021-09-14 09:18:40.392 CST [428452] STATEMENT:  UPDATE tbl SET body = upper(body);

I'm not sure if I used it inappropriately, or it's unexpected. Could someone
take a look at this problem?

Attach a script to reproduce it. It took about 2~3 minutes to run it on my
machine.

FYI, I found this problem on HEAD and I could reproduce at PG14 and PG13. I
didn't try other versions.

Regards
Tang
