Did you get this new assertion failure after you applied the patch for
the first failure? Because otherwise, how can you reach it with the
same test case?
About patch:
else if (sub_needs_timetravel)
{
- /* track toplevel txn as well, subxact alone isn't meaningful */
+ elog(DEBUG2, "forced transaction %u to do timetravel due to one of
its subtransaction",
+ xid);
+ needs_timetravel = true;
SnapBuildAddCommittedTxn(builder, xid);
Why did you remove the above comment? I think it still makes sense to retain it.
