I've simplified the repro to the following:
echo "
-- setup foreign server "loopback" --
CREATE TABLE t1(i int);
CREATE FOREIGN TABLE ft1 (i int) SERVER loopback OPTIONS (table_name 't1');
CREATE FOREIGN TABLE ft2 (i int) SERVER loopback OPTIONS (table_name 't1');
INSERT INTO t1 SELECT i FROM generate_series(1, 100000) g(i);
" | psql
cat << 'EOF' | psql
Select pg_sleep(10);
SET statement_timeout = '10ms';
SELECT 'SELECT count(*) FROM ft1 CROSS JOIN ft2;' FROM generate_series(1, 100)
\gexec
EOF
I've attached strace (with --mask=0x251, per [1]) to the query-cancelling
backend and got strace.log (see in attachment), while observing:
ERROR: canceling statement due to statement timeout
...
ERROR: canceling statement due to statement timeout
-- total 14 lines, then the process hanged --
-- I interrupted it several seconds later --
As far as I can see (having analyzed a number of runs), the hanging occurs
when some itimer-related activity happens before "peek_socket" in this
event sequence:
[main] postgres {pid} select_stuff::wait: res after verify 0
[main] postgres {pid} select_stuff::wait: returning 0
[main] postgres {pid} select: sel.wait returns 0
[main] postgres {pid} peek_socket: read_ready: 0, write_ready: 1, except_ready: 0
(See the last occurrence of the sequence in the log.)
