I have reffered the code just above for PG_TEMP_FILE_PREFIX in same function sendDir().
I have that not only that place, but there other places where strlen is used for PG_TEMP_FILE_PREFIX.
I think in this path, such optimization might not help much.
However if you think we should take care of this, then I can find other places where similar change can be done
to make it consistent?

Yes, you are right adding a new LWLock will avoid the use of sleep.
However I am just not sure if for only this purpose we should add a new LWLock?
Similar logic is used in CreateLockFile() for postmaster file but it doesn't use sleep.
How about reducing the time of sleep or removing sleep, in that user might get
error and he need to retry to get his command successful?
