Yeah... And while the example shared up-thread is related to logical walsender,
the same issue exists for a physical walsender.

OTOH, It's also great to see that the new stats that have been added (the WAL
ones) helped to spot the issue.

Thanks for looking at it!

That's true for a physical walsender but I'm not sure it is for a logical
walsender (due to the "sentPtr == replicatedPtr" check in WalSndDone()).

Yeah I think that makes sense, done that way in the attached.

Speaking about physical walsender, I moved the test to 001_stream_rep.pl instead
(would also fail without the fix).

Subject: [PATCH v2] Flush the IO statistics of active walsenders

The walsender does not flush its IO statistics until it exits.
The issue is there since pg_stat_io has been introduced in a9c70b46dbe.
This commits:

1. ensures it does not wait to exit to flush its IO statistics
2. adds a test for a physical walsender (a logical walsender had the same issue
but the fix is in the same code path)
