Concurrency Locking Mismatch

concurrency-locking-mismatch

Threaded and async code get serialized by mismatched lock semantics—GIL release timing, DB/driver internal synchronized sections, and per-process locks—so expected parallelism collapses into deadlock or blocking and even lock-avoidance workarounds fail.

MATCHESSolution

you can use Zustand getters and optimistic update — multiple or rapid clicks could actually cause the updates to be executed but out of order. Tension: no optimistic update so u see that delay (lag) you said about.

MATCHESSolution

handle a scenario when the code is fine but backend went offline — prefetching data with usePrefetchQuery. Tension: prefetch works.

MATCHESSolution

As long as you lock more than a single thing at a time, you risk deadlocks. — lock more than a single thing at a time. Tension: You hold B waiting for A, they hold A waiting for B. Outcome: one of you has to abort or you're stuck.

MATCHESSolution

provided it's called within the same process — workers might be pre-forked. Tension: the cache doesn't work across processes. Outcome: each process got its own cache.

MATCHESSolution

You can use redis lock to solve this — around each change you are making to the redis/DB. Outcome: put this lock around each change you are making to the redis/DB.

MATCHESSolution

single worker running async loop. Outcome: So you have a single worker running async loop and you block that loop.

MATCHESSolution

Changed calling it to `await to_thread(CatalogHandler.catalog_check, user.group_name, req.source, req.csv)` — when this process is running. Tension: It makes function run in a separate thread without blocking main event loop. Outcome: everything seems to work.

MATCHESSolution

python interpreter just pauses one task and looks at other — In your scenerio where you use asynchronous. Tension: it is not completly usesless. Outcome: Think it like a round-robin.

MATCHESSolution

Change the engine async fixture from session scope to function scope (remove scope="session") so all async fixtures/tests run on the same event loop, preventing the cross-loop Future/Task error.

MATCHESSolution

any time you have an I/O bound process with lots of idle time — waiting for user input, waiting for a TLS handshake. Tension: wrapping it in an async task can let other code run.

MATCHESSolution

I know that it is recommended to use `select..for update skip locked` — under high data volume and frequent updates/deletions. Tension: it can lead to performance degradation. Outcome: `skip locked` is the cheapest option.

MATCHESSolution

Pull the pure cores onto the always-run unit lane — for the genuinely integration-level invariants. Tension: a skipped test is not a passing test.

MATCHESSolution

bound it with a "progress ceiling" — a process emitting bytes but making NO semantic progress. Tension: a process emitting bytes but making NO semantic progress (livelock) would be shielded forever. Outcome: re-arms recovery after a long no-progress window even while bytes flow.

MATCHESSolution

Do not use `Thread.stop()`. Tension: you need to really validate your assumptions of what is possible in your complicated code base.

MATCHESSolution

Avoid running multiple DB operations concurrently on the same session by removing asyncio.gather and iterating sequentially, and/or use an async_scoped_session so each task uses its own session.

MATCHESSolution

you have such an id that is called transaction id. Tension: If none of that is available either. Outcome: you can create a (sort of) mutex variable (let's call it `lock`).

MATCHESSolution

In general this calls for a mutex. — If the language does not provide mutexes out of the box. Outcome: you can create a mutex.

MATCHESSolution

if all you're trying to do is share something between multiple threads — consider using `Arc` instead. Outcome: this implements a thread-safe reference counted smart pointer.

MATCHESSolution

only recompilation could grant a success. — Core Isolation. Tension: the alignment is required to be 0x1000. Outcome: Only recompilation will fix this.

MATCHESSolution

Cause of the deadlock.

MATCHESSolution

Use virtual threads for blocking DB/IO work to improve scalability under the same small pool, or switch to a reactive database driver/event-loop model to avoid blocking carrier threads; adjust concurrency/throttling accordingly (semaphore/backpressure) rather than assuming the current JDBC + thread pool design remains optimal.

MATCHESSolution

Your code doesn't use any shared state (or even objects) between the different threads — running this code in a multithreaded environment. Tension: The only thing that may looks marignally relevant is calling the static `OPCPackage.open` method. Outcome: there shouldn't be any problem running this code in a multithreaded environment.

MATCHESSolution

use a set to define which are currently running, and remove from set at end rather than before calling `process(client)` — You could use a counter (AtomicInteger) instead of `HashSet`, or `Semaphore`. Tension: your locks don't prevent more than MAX_THREAD_POOL running threads at once. Outcome: which is intended for this type of use.

MATCHESSolution

Try to to decouple thread creation from task execution. — The CPU maintains a queue and a pool of worker threads (only 3). Tension: Clients submit tasks (like your cpu.execute()). Outcome: Each worker takes a task from the queue, processes it, and picks the next.

MATCHESSolution

I am seeing an increase in latencies in requests that do succeed — I have a logic of the sort :. Tension: none of them enforce a timeout on the total duration of the request. Outcome: Then properly close the connection in a finally / try-resource block.

MATCHESSolution

Use synchronization primitives, locks, or other publication mechanisms that establish a happens-before between the write and subsequent read

MATCHESSolution

Mysql driver 9.0.0+ (currently 9.1.0) has ReentrantLock(s) now — IF they were not hooked on mysql internal synchronized blocks. Tension: it should have helped. Outcome: and it should work as this enabled the virtual thread to go do something else.

MATCHESSolution

I can see that this isn't actually causing the thread in `myMethod` to interrupt — Thread.sleep(400);. Outcome: thread.start(); thread.interrupt(); thread.join(); assertNotNull(reference.get());.

MATCHESSolution

Only if all threads of your program use `seq_cst` memory order for operations and fences. — The C++ guarantee of sequential consistency for data-race free programs only applies if all atomic operations are `seq_cst`, or if you use equivalent fences. Tension: One thread using a fence can't necessarily recover sequential consistency when other threads are using `relaxed` or `release` and `acquire` operations on `std::atomic`. Outcome: use `seq_cst` memory order for operations and fences.

MATCHESSolution

Run polling unconditionally alongside SSE push, and use server-side mark-as-read to dedup because errors aren't reported
