If I create a large table with "CREATE TABLE ... AS SELECT ... from generate_series(1,3e7)" with no explicit transactions, then once it is done I wait for autovac to kick in, then when I try to build an index on that table (or drop the table) the autovac doesn't go away on its own.
Bisects down to: commit 5788e258bb26495fab65ff3aa486268d1c50b123 Author: Andres Freund <and...@anarazel.de> Date: Wed Jul 15 15:35:07 2020 -0700 snapshot scalability: Move PGXACT->vacuumFlags to ProcGlobal->vacuumFlags. Which makes sense given the parts of the code this touches, although I don't understand exactly what the problem is. The problem persists in HEAD (77c7267c37). Cheers, Jeff
