Hi Fujii-san,
Thank you for the testing.

It seems that the problem lies in the logic of calculating sleep time in
WalSndComputeSleeptime function. If the parameter wal_sender_timeout is set to
one hour and the function WalSndWait executes with an argument sleeptime = 1h,
then the variable shutdown_request_timestamp will only be updated after one
hour at next call of WalSndCheckShutdownTimeout immediately following the
waiting period completion.
May be to use the minimal timeout in WalSndComputeSleeptimes or to use
the timeouts mechanism (timeout.c), but WalSndWait should wake up on latch then.
With best regards,
Vitaly
