From 1cd5bc3ccf92a511b087629b2c914dffa9151fce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alvaro Herrera Date: Wed, 16 Oct 2019 14:51:23 +0200 Subject: Fix crash when reporting CREATE INDEX progress MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit A race condition can make us try to dereference a NULL pointer to the PGPROC struct of a process that's already finished. That results in crashes during REINDEX CONCURRENTLY and CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY. This was introduced in ab0dfc961b6a, so backpatch to pg12.
