Should this possibly handled at the caller level? This is a bit too
much magic for my taste.
Looking at the callers, the new code isn't super-obvious either:
len = walrcv_receive(wrconn, &buf, &fd);
if (len != 0)
{
/* Process the data */
for (;;)
{
CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS();
if (len == 0)
{
break;
}
else if (len < 0)
{
ereport(LOG,
(errmsg("data stream from publisher has ended")));
endofstream = true;
break;
}
The len < 0, hidden inside a len != 0, which in the loop again chcks if
len == 0 (because it's decremented in loop)? And there's two different[5~
len = walrcv_receive(wrconn, &buf, &fd);
statements?

I think that's fine for now. It'd imo be a good idea to improve matters
here a bit, but for now I've just applied your patch.
