OK. But what if it never reads anything? I mean if the client dies after a
complete transaction i.e. no input pending for either back end or client, will
it just sit around waiting for select to signal that fd?(AFAIU, that's how
things goes in there..)

Clearly we have a case where backend is hung persumably. Either it has to have
an explanation(OK client did aborted abruptly) and/or a possible corrective
action..

Just some thoughts..
