There is a typo here right? Non-exclusive backups have been introduced
in 9.6. Why would a back-patch further down be needed?

+- Assert(XLogCtl->Insert.nonExclusiveBackups >= 0);
+ if (XLogCtl->Insert.nonExclusiveBackups > 0)
+ XLogCtl->Insert.nonExclusiveBackups--;
Hm, no, I don't agree. I think that instead you should just leave
do_pg_abort_backup() immediately if sessionBackupState is set to
SESSION_BACKUP_NONE. This variable is the link between the global
counters and the session stopping the backup so I don't think that we
should touch this assertion of this counter. I think that this method
would be safe as well for backup start as pg_start_backup_callback
takes care of any cleanup. Also because the counters are incremented
before entering in the PG_ENSURE_ERROR_CLEANUP block, and
sessionBackupState is updated just after leaving the block.
About the patch:
+- Assert(XLogCtl->Insert.nonExclusiveBackups >= 0);
There is a typo on this line.
Adding that to the next CF would be a good idea so as we don't forget
about it. Feel free to add me as reviewer.
