From a745ef763e6ce1f300bf7773e560bb6500d73adc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matt <47545907+SoundMatt@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Wed, 29 Jul 2026 09:01:52 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fix: close missed-wakeup race in FrameReceiver::recv() MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit FrameReceiver::recv() checked the queue and the closed flag, and only then constructed and awaited a Notify::notified() future. Bus::close() sets the closed flag and calls notify_waiters() in that order too, with no synchronization against recv()'s check-then-await sequence. notify_waiters() only wakes notified() futures that already exist (were already polling) at the moment it's called — per its own documented contract. If close() runs entirely between recv()'s closed-check and its construction of the notified() future, the wakeup fires into nothing: recv() then awaits a notified() future built after the fact, and hangs forever on an already-closed, already-empty bus. Fix by constructing the notified() future first, then checking the queue/closed state, per the check-then-await pattern Notify's own docs demonstrate — any close() that lands after the future is registered still wakes it; nothing narrower can slip through. Also add a concurrent regression test (multi-thread runtime, 500 trials, tokio::time::timeout) exercising this exact path: recv() pending on an *empty* queue (so it can't return via the pop() fast path) raced against a concurrent close(). The race window this closes is only a few CPU instructions wide, so it isn't reliably reproducible without genuine thread-level parallelism or delay injection — this test is a best-effort concurrent stress check, not a guaranteed reproduction of the pre-fix hang; the fix itself is correct by construction against Notify's documented contract independent of whether any given CI run's scheduling happens to land in the window. Closes #12.
