Re: Optimize walsender handling invalid messages of 'drop publication'

Dears,

This issue has been pending for several months without any response.
And this problem still exists in the latest minor versions of PG 12
and PG 13.

I believe that the fix in this patch is helpful.

The patch has been submitted
https://commitfest.postgresql.org/43/4393/ .  Anyone who is interested
in this issue can help with the review.

Regards!
BowenShi
