Description
This PR addresses a race issue happening in stressed intraprocess scenarios when
EDP's
writer intends to use the remote local reader pointer of an already removed participant. This happens because the participant hasn't received the other's one disposal yet (as it goes through transport).Some ci flaky tests have already been identified to be related with this issue.
The proposed solution introduces a new state in the Readers
LocalReaderViewStatus
in which the reader will notify that it is inactive as soon as it is destroyed and noone is using it.On the other side, the remote local writers using pointers to it, now holds a
LocalReaderPointer
which wraps the raw reader's pointer plus the view. An internal counter now accounts for the number of references.Thanks @MiguelCompany for helping with the final's solution design.
Note: the test may be launched with
--restest-until-fail 20
or so, in order to reproduce the issue. For a more frequent failure, review can launch thecolcon test
with thetaskset -c 0,1
prefix to make the test to stress more and make it fail more frequently.@Mergifyio backport 3.1.x 3.0.x 2.14.x 2.10.x
