Postgresql deadlock lock with lock table in exclusive mode

deadlockpostgresql

I'm getting this deadlock error in my database:

I have a trigger which is called on insert in table Transaction, that lock table Niv (Other table in my database) in exclusive mode. This is the trigger:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.updateniv()
  RETURNS trigger AS
$BODY$
DECLARE
    c numeric; -- Creditos
    d numeric; -- Debitos
    credb numeric; -- Creditos bloqueados
    debtb numeric; -- Debitos bloqueados
BEGIN
    LOCK TABLE niv IN EXCLUSIVE MODE;

    //do some actions

    END IF;   

    RETURN NEW;
END;  $BODY$
  LANGUAGE plpgsql VOLATILE
  COST 100;

Looking in I can see that the deadlock ocurrs when have two inserts into table transaction, which calls the the trigger updateniv(), which lock table NIV in exclusive mode. But I can't understand the cause of the deadlock, if a insert locks the table NIV in exclusive mode, the other insert should wait the first lock finish correct? How table NIV is locked in exclusive mode two times same time? Can anyone help me?

I tried Postgresql 9.5 and 9.2 on windows server

It looks to me like both transactions acquired a weaker lock (probably ROW EXCLUSIVE (but now clarified in a comment to be the more rare ROW SHARE)) on NIV earlier in their transaction. Now both want to upgrade that lock to EXCLUSIVE, but neither can do so until the other gives up their weaker lock. But neither is willing to give up weaker lock until they obtain the stronger one.

The error messages only tell you the current query of each process (because that info is what is available to the logging system) but you really need to know all queries that were previously run in the currently-open transaction to get a full picture.

In your comment, you say the weaker lock is actually a ROW SHARE. This is automatically acquired by the commands SELECT FOR UPDATE and SELECT FOR SHARE see documentation. You would have to identify where in your code these types of queries are issued (in the same transaction as the other queries which later trigger the deadlock are issued) and pre-emptively take an EXCLUSIVE lock before issuing those queries.
