Sorry, took a bit longer. Ran into some issues with my aio branch when
running on 5.6. Not yet sure if that's my fault, or io_uring's.


Here's a recipe that repros reliably for me. For me it triggers reliably
at this size (-s 1000 ends up around ~16GB).


# Build aio branch of postgres
sudo mkdir /srv/src
sudo chown andres. /srv/src
cd /srv/src
git clone -b aio https://github.com/anarazel/postgres.git pg
cd pg
./configure --enable-depend --with-liburing --prefix=/home/andres/bin/
make -j48 -s install

# check that target directory is in PATH
type psql
psql is /home/andres/bin/bin/psql

in one shell:
# create database directory, start postgres
echo 1200 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
initdb /srv/pguringcrash
postgres -D /srv/pguringcrash/ -c bgwriter_delay=10ms -c bgwriter_lru_maxpages=1000 -c wal_level=minimal -c max_wal_senders=0 -c wal_buffers=128MB -c max_wal_size=100GB -c shared_buffers=2GB -c max_parallel_workers_per_gather=8 -c huge_pages=on

in the other shell:
# fill with test data (skipping index creation etc)
pgbench -i -s 1000 postgres -IdtGv -q

# and trigger a parallel sequential scan, using 8 additional workers
echo 3 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches && psql -c 'SET max_parallel_workers_per_gather=8' -c 'SELECT SUM(abalance) FROM pgbench_accounts ;'


For me that faily reliably triggers the issue within a few seconds.

I'll try your new branch next.
