I test it again with (92d31085e926253aa650b9d1e1f2f09934d0ddfc), and the
issue appeared again. Here is my test method which quite simple:
1. Setup a base backup by pg_basebackup.
2. Insert lots of data in master for the purpose I have enough time to exec
pg_wal_replay_pause() when startup the replication.
3. Configure the 'promote_trigger_file' GUC and create the trigger file.
4. Start the backup(standby), connect it immediately, and exec pg_wal_replay_pause()
Then it appears, and a test log attached.
I means when I exec the pg_wal_replay_pause() first time, nobody has check the trigger state
by CheckForStandbyTrigger(), it use a Initialized 'SharedPromoteIsTriggered' value.
And patch attached can solve the issue.
