Hi Tom,
thank you for your input. The DB was stuck again, I attach all logs and
stack traces.
A stack trace from a COMMIT, an INSERT, an UPDATE, the wal writer, the
writer, and a sequence.
Stracing the commit was stuck at: semop(3145761, {{12, -1, 0}}, 1
Please tell me what else could I do to help debugging.
Is there a way to downgrade postgresql ?

We upgraded to 9.4.4 from 8.4 We have tried 9.3.x in the past with

Unfortunately in 9.4 gets stuck 2-3 times a week.
Lots of queries seem stuck, that is they have waiting:false. Queries can
be
COMMIT or INSERT.
No blocking locks seem to exist.
strace reveals that all stuck processes they are in semop
semop(2064417, {{0, -1, 0}}, 1^C <unfinished ...>Stack traces of the stuck processes might help determine what's going on.

Please try to capture traces for both the COMMIT and INSERT cases,
as they're almost certainly different.regards, tom lane
