Comment in walsender.c says:

IOW it claims no data loss will occur after this point. But if the WAL is
cached on the master side, isn't this a false claim i.e. the data loss can
still occur even after master outputs the log message and changes the state
to streaming. Or am I still getting it wrong ?
Thanks,
