Thanks for updating the patch!

+int
+TryDisableRemoteServerCheckingTimeout(void)

When more than one FDWs are used, even if one FDW calls this function to disable the timeout, its remote-server-check-callback can still be called. Is this OK?
Please imagine the case where two FDWs are used and they registered their callbacks. Even when one FDW calls TryDisableRemoteServerCheckingTimeout(), if another FDW has not called that yet, the timeout is still being enabled. If the timeout is triggered during that period, even the callback registered by the FDW that has already called TryDisableRemoteServerCheckingTimeout() would be called.

+ if (remote_servers_connection_check_interval > 0)
+ {
+ CallCheckingRemoteServersCallbacks();
+ enable_timeout_after(CHECKING_REMOTE_SERVERS_TIMEOUT,
+ remote_servers_connection_check_interval);

LockErrorCleanup() needs to be called before reporting the error, doesn't it?

This can cause an error even while DoingCommandRead == true. Is that safe?

This can cause the timeout to be enabled even when no remote transaction is started?
