Re: Transaction timeout

I test the V4 patch and found the backend does't process SIGINT while it's in secure_read.
And it seems not a good choice to report ERROR during secure_read, which will turns into
FATAL "terminating connection because protocol synchronization was lost".

It might be much easier to terminate the backend rather than cancel the backend just like
idle_in_transaction_session_timeout and idle_session_timeout did. But the name of the GUC
might be transaction_session_timeout.

And what about 2PC transaction? The hanging 2PC transaction also hurts server a lot. It’s
active transaction but not active backend. Can we cancel the 2PC transaction and how we
cancel it.
