HAProxy - Load balancer
d514ca45c6
List insertion in event_hdl_subscribe() was not thread-safe when dealing
with unique identifiers. Indeed, in this case the list insertion is
conditional (we check for a duplicate, then we insert). And while we're
using mt lists for this, the whole operation is not atomic: there is a
race between the check and the insertion.
This could lead to the same ID being registered multiple times with
concurrent calls to event_hdl_subscribe() on the same ID.
To fix this, we add 'insert_lock' dedicated lock in the subscription
list struct. The lock's cost is nearly 0 since it is only used when
registering identified subscriptions and the lock window is very short:
we only guard the duplicate check and the list insertion to make the
conditional insertion "atomic" within a given subscription list.
This is the only place where we need the lock: as soon as the item is
properly inserted we're out of trouble because all other operations on
the list are already thread-safe thanks to mt lists.
A new lock hint is introduced: LOCK_EHDL which is dedicated to event_hdl
The patch may seem quite large since we had to rework the logic around
the subscribe function and switch from simple mt_list to a dedicated
struct wrapping both the mt_list and the insert_lock for the
event_hdl_sub_list type.
(sizeof(event_hdl_sub_list) is now 24 instead of 16)
However, all the changes are internal: we don't break the API.
