BTW to BTW. I think we should check pending list size with GinGetPendingListCleanupSize() here
+
+       /*

+        * relation as fast update postpones the insertion of tuples into index

+        */
+       if (GinGetUseFastUpdate(ginstate->index))
+               PredicateLockRelation(ginstate->index, snapshot);

Because we can alter alter index set (fastupdate = off), but there still will be pending list.
