Noah Misch diagnosed the buildfarm problems in the isolation tests partly as failure to differentiate backends properly; the old code was using backend IDs, which is not good enough because a new backend might use an already used ID. Use PIDs instead. Also, the code was purposely careless about other concurrent activity, because it isn't expected; and in fact, it doesn't affect the vast majority of the time. However, it can be observed that autovacuum can block tables for long enough to cause sporadic failures. The new code accounts for that by ignoring locks held by processes not explicitly declared in our spec file. Author: Noah Misch
