+ if (can_advance_nonremovable_xid(&data, last_recv_timestamp))
+ maybe_advance_nonremovable_xid(&data);

In can_advance_nonremovable_xid(), we determine whether to advance the
oldest xid based on 'last_recv_timestamp' and then again in
maybe_advance_nonremovable_xid()->get_candidate_xid(), we compare it
with the current time. How does that make sense? Shall we use
'last_recv_timestamp' directly in get_candidate_xid() as that will
avoid the additional time check in can_advance_nonremovable_xid()?

2.
+ TimestampTz next_attempt_time; /* when to attemp to advance the xid during
+ * change application */
+} RetainConflictInfoData;

This new variable introduced in this version is not used in the patch.
Any reason or just a leftover?

Apart from the above, I have made a few updates in the comments in the
attached. Please include those after review.
