Description

Describe the bug
When some abnormality occurs in the database connection, the connection will not be released back to the connection pool normally, and new requests will not be able to get the connection. This is a fatal problem. Looking forward to it being resolved.

To Reproduce
It can be reproduced by disconnecting the connection in use. After the connection is disconnected, the program will report an error, resulting in the connection not being released normally. But the size of the connection pool is limited, so new connections will not be created. New requests will wait for connections.

Expected behavior
If the database connection encounters an unexpected situation during use, it is necessary to ensure that the connection is released back to the connection pool normally.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue described in the body: disconnect an in-use database connection and observe the resulting error and connection-pool behavior. Trace the request and connection-pool entry points involved in that failure path. Done means an unexpected database disconnect returns the connection appropriately so later requests are not left waiting indefinitely.
