This probably corresponds to the TCP timeout needed for the server's
kernel to decide the connection is lost; until then, the backend session
will just sit there waiting for more data, and it'll be holding whatever
locks it had too.
You could adjust the server's tcp_keepalives_xxx settings to make it
notice the connection drop more quickly.
