Fair point. I agree that the issue can be resolved by carefully ordering the callback registration. Another thing I'm concerned about is that since both the leader worker and parallel worker detach DSM before logicalrep_worker_onexit(), cleaning up work that touches DSM cannot be done in logicalrep_worker_onexit(). If we need to do something in the future, we would need to have another callback called before detaching DSM. But I'm fine as it's not a problem for now.
