bpo-6721: When os.fork() was called while another thread holds a logging lock, the child process may deadlock when it tries to log. This fixes that by acquiring all logging locks before fork and releasing them afterwards. A regression test that fails before this change is included. Within the new unittest itself: There is a small _potential_ due to mixing of fork and a thread in the child process if the parent's thread happened to hold a non-reentrant library call lock (malloc?) when the os.fork() happens. buildbots and time will tell if this actually manifests itself in this test or not. :/ A functionality test that avoids that would be a challenge. An alternate test that isn't trying to produce the deadlock itself but just checking that the release and acquire calls are made would be the next best alternative if so. |
