Thanks for the suggestion Amit and Osumi-san, I experimented with both
the suggestions but finally decided to use
(a)Modifying WalSndKeepalive() to take an LSN optionally as input and
passed in the ctx->write_location.
I also verified that if I block the WalSndKeepalive() in
WalSndWaitForWal, then my new code sends the keepalive
when skipping transactions and the syncrep gets back feedback..
I will address comments from Peter and Wang in my next patch update.
