I was reviewing slotsync worker design and here
are few comments on 0002 patch:

1.

+ if (!WalRcv ||
+ (WalRcv->slotname[0] == '\0') ||
+ XLogRecPtrIsInvalid(WalRcv->latestWalEnd))

I think we'd better take spinlock when accessing these shared memory fields.

2.

/*
* The slot sync feature itself is disabled, exit.
*/
if (!enable_syncslot)
{
ereport(LOG,
errmsg("exiting slot sync worker as enable_syncslot is disabled."));

Can we check the GUC when registering the worker(SlotSyncWorkerRegister),
so that the worker won't be started if enable_syncslot is false.

3. In synchronize_one_slot, do we need to skip the slot sync and drop if the
local slot is a physical one ?

4.

*locally_invalidated =
(remote_slot->invalidated == RS_INVAL_NONE) &&
(local_slot->data.invalidated != RS_INVAL_NONE);

When reading the invalidated flag of local slot, I think we'd better take
spinlock.

Best Regards,
Hou zj
