Huh - do you have a link to the failure? That's how I would expect it to be done.
I think I should have registered it in the beginning of PerformWalRecovery() and not just before the main redo loop since HandleStartupProcInterrupts is called before the loop too.
Here's the error log otherise [1]

I think always disabling the timer here isn't quite right - we want to wake up *once* in WaitForWALToBecomeAvailable(), otherwise we'll not submit pending stats before waiting - potentially for a long time - for WAL. One way would be just explicitly report before the WaitLatch().
Another approach, I think better, would be to not use enable_timeout_every(), and to explicitly rearm the timer in HandleStartupProcInterrupts(). When called from WaitForWALToBecomeAvailable(), we'd not rearm, and instead do so at the end of WaitForWALToBecomeAvailable(). That way we also wouldn't repeatedly fire between calls to HandleStartupProcInterrupts().
Attached patch is probably not doing what you asked. IIUC HandleStartupProcInterrupts should arm the timer but also shouldn't arm it if it's called from WaitForWALToBecomeAvailable. But the timer should be armed again at the very end of WaitForWALToBecomeAvailable. I've been thinking about how to do this properly. Should HandleStartupProcInterrupts take a parameter to decide whether the timer needs to be armed? Or need to add an additional global flag to rearm the timer? Any thoughts?
