Hi all,


We've seen several cases of hanging queries lately which were impossible to cancel (even with pg_terminate_backend). The only fix we've found was to restart the whole database or kill -9 the process, as the hanging query was preventing vacuum to clean up properly. Both of these lead to all clients disconnecting, which is quite a painful measure.

Unfortunately it occurs rarely and we haven't found a way to reproduce it in a dev environment. However, I do have a stack trace of when it occurred once.


The stack trace can be found below. In pg_stat_statements the function would show up as wait_event=DynamicSharedMemoryControlLock and waiting for a LWLock. We're running Postgres 11.2. So far I've just disabled parallel plans altogether, which will hopefully prevent this from happening, but this is of course not an ideal solution. 


Any ideas what may cause this?
