Yes, the existing "ProcArrayGetReplicationSlotXmin" function has met the functional requirements and I have updated it in the attachment.

I think this is acceptable since its behavior is same as we wait for the
transactions in primary.

The "wait" happens at the very last of index building, so the building
stages gives an enough time for standby to exceeds the xmin, so in a
real case, I think the overhead will be pretty low.

I take a look at the that, function GetReplicationSlotXmin should be not
needed. You can use ProcArrayGetReplicationSlotXmin directly.
After searching the caller of WaitForOlderSnapshots, I think this bug
probably has impact on "deteach partition concurrently" / "reindex
concurrently" features. All of them needs the same fix.
