    Fix handling of synchronous replication for stopping WAL senders · 4c703369
    Michael Paquier authored
    This fixes an oversight from c6c33343 which forgot that if a subset of
    WAL senders are stopping and in a sync state, other WAL senders could
    still be waiting for a WAL position to be synced while committing a
    transaction.  However the subset of stopping senders would not release
    waiters, potentially breaking synchronous replication guarantees.  This
    commit makes sure that even WAL senders stopping are able to release
    waiters and are tracked properly.
    
    On 9.4, this can also trigger an assertion failure when setting for
    example max_wal_senders to 1 where a WAL sender is not able to find
    itself as in synchronous state when the instance stops.
