In my example,

Process 1:                                Process 2:
BEGIN;
SELECT pg_backend_pid();
                                                        BEGIN;
                                                        SELECT pg_backend_pid();
UPDATE A SET Col1 = 1 WHERE AID = 1;
SELECT * FROM vLocks WHERE PID IN (2165,2157);
                                                        UPDATE B SET Col2 = 1 WHERE BID = 2;
                                                        SELECT * FROM vLocks WHERE PID IN (2165,2157);
UPDATE B SET Col2 = 1 WHERE BID = 2;
SELECT * FROM vLocks WHERE PID IN (2165,2157);
                                                        UPDATE B SET Col2 = 1 WHERE BID = 2;
                                                        SELECT * FROM vLocks WHERE PID IN (2165,2157);

Process 2 is aborted due to deadlock, while process 1 is allowed to commit.

If the locking logic would be modified to allow process 2 to go through, and instead abort process 1, I understand some other scenarios would of course be affected, where the situation would be handled in a less optimal way.

Is there any example of scenarios where it is optimal to handle this kind of locking situation in this way?

I am totally fine living with a feature, which is a problem in some cases, and something good in other cases, as long as the good cases are more common than the problem cases.

Another question, Tom referred to a comment in src/backend/command/trigger.c.
My example does not contain any triggers, nor insert commands. Is the trigger.c-comment still relevant or is it a misunderstanding?

That's correct. This is the generic example I was talking about earlier
on -hackers.  I'm not certain it's a bug per spec; I wanted to talk
through with Kevin what we *should* be doing in this situation.

This is one example of a set of user-hostile FK-related deadlock
behavior we have.  I'm just not certain it's logically possible to
improve it.
