I think it's more this piece of code in postmaster/pgstat.c
        /*         * The source address of the packet must be our own socket.         * This ensures that only real
hackersor our own backends         * tell us something.  (This should be redundant with a         * kernel-level check
dueto having used connect(), but let's         * do it anyway.)         */        if (memcmp(&fromaddr, &pgStatAddr,
fromlen))           continue;
