Sorry for the delay in getting back to this. Looking it over again, yes, I
think you are right, and will commit a patch that just removes the check
for result.

Yeah, it seems reasonable that there should be a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() there.

I'm not really familiar with that code, but it looks like the signal
handler in 9.4 might not set that latch, so throttle() would have to
rely on setting ImmediateInterruptOK to make the sleep interruptable,
in which case the wait result would be irrelevant, right?

Interesting.

ff44fba4 replaced the latch in walsender, which was not backported (of
course).

But it also added a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS there.

9.4 does not have a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS anywhere near there. Perhaps
what's really needed is to put one of those in regardless?

I'm seeing a warning on the 9.4 branch that looks to have been caused
by this commit:

basebackup.c: In function ‘throttle’:
basebackup.c:1284:8: warning: variable ‘wait_result’ set but not used
[-Wunused-but-set-variable]
  int   wait_result;
