Hi,
I found a bug which always prevents SignalSomeChildren with
BACKEND_TYPE_WALSND from sending a signal to walsender.
Though currently SignalSomeChildren with BACKEND_TYPE_WALSND
has not been called anywhere, it's not hard to believe that will
be called in the future. So we should apply the following change.
----------------------
diff --git a/src/backend/postmaster/postmaster.c
b/src/backend/postmaster/postmaster.c
index 6f934ee..2d86fb6 100644
