I forget to say the failure happens on my modified version, I guess this is
what
happened in my case (subscription/t/013_partition.pl ).

1. It need to read data from slave, however it get ERROR, elog(ERROR, ..)
rather crash.
2. The test framework knows the case failed, so it kill the primary in
some way.
3. The primary raises the error below.

2020-05-11 09:37:40.778 CST [69541] sub_viaroot WARNING: terminating
connection because of crash of another server process

2020-05-11 09:37:40.778 CST [69541] sub_viaroot DETAIL: The postmaster
has commanded this server process to roll back the current transaction and
exit,
because another server process exited abnormally and possibly corrupted
shared memory.

Finally I get the root cause by looking into the error log in slave.
After I fix
my bug, the issue gone.
