[3.15] gh-151644: Fix data race in sys.setdlopenflags/getdlopenflags under free-threading (gh-151768)#153790
Merged
Conversation
…nder free-threading (pythongh-151768) In free-threading builds, concurrent calls to sys.getdlopenflags() and sys.setdlopenflags() race on interp->imports.dlopenflags. Fix by using FT_ATOMIC_LOAD_INT_RELAXED / FT_ATOMIC_STORE_INT_RELAXED in _PyImport_GetDLOpenFlags and _PyImport_SetDLOpenFlags, consistent with how analogous interpreter-state integer fields (lazy_imports_mode, pystats_enabled) are protected. Relaxed ordering is correct here: dlopenflags is a standalone config integer with no ordering relationship to other memory.
