If your promoted standby got ahead of the former master, you could use
the promoted standby as a new master, and replug the former master as
a standby. The latter step can be done by either running pg_rewind on
the former masfer or taking a new base backup from the promoted
standby and use that to set up a new standby. pg_rewind will be
successful to run only if the master has kept WAL segments from the
last checkpoint record where WAL forked when standby has been
promoted.
