Yes, pg_terminate_backend() can terminate the connection successfully in this case because ProcDiePending is set as true and ProcessClientWriteInterrupt() can handle it.
Queries those exceed standby delay limit can be terminated in this way, but what about other queries that should be canceled but get stuck on secure_write()? After all, there is currently no way to list all possible situations and then terminate these queries one by one. ------------------------------------------------------------------ 发件人：Fujii Masao <masao.fu...@oss.nttdata.com> 发送时间：2021年8月24日(星期二) 13:15 收件人：Robert Haas <robertmh...@gmail.com>; Alvaro Herrera <alvhe...@alvh.no-ip.org> 抄 送：蔡梦娟(玊于) <mengjuan....@alibaba-inc.com>; pgsql-hackers <pgsql-hackers@lists.postgresql.org>; Andres Freund <and...@anarazel.de> 主 题：Re: Queries that should be canceled will get stuck on secure_write function On 2021/08/24 0:26, Alvaro Herrera wrote: > Aren't we talking about query cancellations that occur in response to a > standby delay limit?

There seems no problem in that case because pg_terminate_backend() causes a backend to set ProcDiePending to true in die() signal hander and ProcessClientWriteInterrupt() called by secure_write() handles ProcDiePending.
