Commit f841ceb: Improve TRUNCATE by avoiding early lock queue
- REINDEX, patched on 11~:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20180805211059.ga2...@paquier.xyz
Commit 661dd23: Restrict access to reindex of shared catalogs for
non-privileged users

Please note that I have been very conservative with the different fixes
as v11 is getting very close to release.  The patch for REINDEX is a
behavior change which will not get further down anyway.  It would still
be nice to get a second lookup at the code and look if there are other
suspicious calls of relation_open or such which could allow
non-privileged users to pile up locks and cause more DOS problems.

Thanks,

Michael
