I think what you explained is partially correct. Based on my understanding, any backend process may call SignalBackends(), which means that it’s possible that multiple backend processes may call SignalBackends() concurrently. Looking at your code, between checking QUEUE_BACKEND_WAKEUP_PENDING_FLAG(i) and set the flag to true, there is a block of code (the “if-else”) to run, so that it’s possible that multiple backend processes have passed the QUEUE_BACKEND_WAKEUP_PENDING_FLAG(i) check, then multiple signals will be sent to a process, which will lead to duplicate timeout enabled in the receiver process.
