Ah, so it can be changed by another backend process.

Another question:

Is there a reason not to send the signal in XlogFlush itself, so it 
would be called at

CreateCheckPoint(), EndPrepare(), FlushBuffer(), 
RecordTransactionAbortPrepared(), RecordTransactionCommit(), 
RecordTransactionCommitPrepared(), RelationTruncate(), 
SlruPhysicalWritePage(), write_relmap_file(), WriteTruncateXlogRec(), 
and xact_redo_commit().
