Ah, so it can be changed by another backend process.
Another question:
Is there a reason not to send the signal in XlogFlush itself, so it
would be called at
CreateCheckPoint(), EndPrepare(), FlushBuffer(),
RecordTransactionAbortPrepared(), RecordTransactionCommit(),
RecordTransactionCommitPrepared(), RelationTruncate(),
SlruPhysicalWritePage(), write_relmap_file(), WriteTruncateXlogRec(),
and xact_redo_commit().
