Migrating from 2.x: see [MIGRATION.md](MIGRATION.md). + +**Do not mix 3.0.0 with a later version in processes that share a region on Linux.** 3.0.0 compares +`Process.StartTime`, which differs between observers, so it takes the write lock away from every live owner, +including one that runs a later version. Update all processes that use a region together. + +## Unreleased + +### Behavior changes + +- `MemoryRegion.ReleaseWriteLock` throws `SynchronizationLockException` when the calling thread does + not own the lock (it used to be ignored). The `StructuredMemory` lock guards do the same when they + are disposed on another thread, which is what an `await` inside a lock scope causes. +- `MemoryRegionOptions.OrphanLockTimeout` defaults to `TimeSpan.Zero` (disabled) instead of 30 seconds. + A lock whose owner process has exited is still recovered by default; a lock held by a live process is + taken over only if you set a timeout. `DefaultOrphanLockTimeout` keeps its value as a suggestion. +- `Dispose()` of a `MemoryRegion`, and of every container that owns one, takes at least + `MemoryRegion.DisposeGracePeriod` (10 ms) longer. +- `SharedArray` takes the shared region lock per element access for element sizes other than + 1, 2, 4 and 8 bytes, so values are no longer torn. These accesses are slower; take the lock once with + `AcquireReadLock()` / `AcquireWriteLock()` for bulk work. +- An out-of-range queue `capacity` is reported with the parameter name `capacity`. + +### Fixed + +- Linux: a live write-lock owner was reported as an orphan and its lock was taken over, because + `Process.StartTime` differs between observers. The owner is now identified by its `/proc//stat` + start tick count. +- Waiting for a lock with `Timeout.InfiniteTimeSpan` now recovers from an owner that dies later + (the owner is probed every 250 ms). +- A write lock whose owner was killed between taking the lock and recording its pid (or between clearing the + pid and releasing the lock) stayed held forever, because the orphan check needs a pid. A waiter now + clears a lock that has had no owner for two seconds. +- Linux: processes in different PID namespaces that share `/dev/shm` (containers) took each other's locks, because a + waiter looked the owner's pid up in its own namespace and did not find it. The owner now records its PID + namespace (the inode of `/proc/self/ns/pid`, in the reserved part of the header) and a waiter in another + namespace no longer declares the owner dead from its pid. +- `StructuredMemory.OpenExisting` checked the size of the region before the schema version, so no + `SchemaCompatibility` mode could open a region of another size (`Forward` and `Full` only worked when an + appended field fitted in the padding) and `Strict` reported a size mismatch instead of the version. The + version is checked first now; for different versions the region must only be at least as large as the + schema, so an older schema can read a larger region written by a newer one. The same version still needs + the exact size. See "Schema versions" in the README. +- `SharedArray.Fill` and `Clear` threw `TypeLoadException` for elements of 64 KiB or more (a managed array + cannot hold them, and the staging buffer was a `T[]`) and staged up to 4096 elements per batch whatever their + size, 128 MiB for 32 KiB elements. Large elements are written one by one, and a batch is limited to 64 KiB. +- The lock guards of `StructuredMemory` and `SharedArray` now remember the depth at which they were taken. + Disposing a copy of a guard a second time used to decrement the thread's depth again, so a thread inside an + outer lock believed it held none and tried to take the lock it already held; releasing a write guard before + a read guard taken inside it removed the protection under that read guard. Both throw + `SynchronizationLockException` now, before anything changes, and the guard stays valid. +- Disposing a `StructuredMemory` or `SharedArray` while one of its guards was open on the calling thread + left the cross-process lock held until the process ended (its owner was alive, so nobody recovered it). It + releases that lock now; a guard that outlives its instance can still be disposed. +- `StructuredMemory.AcquireWriteLock()` called while the thread holds a read guard set the writer flag and + waited for that thread's own read lock, blocking every other process until the timeout. It now throws + `InvalidOperationException` at once, like the automatic write lock and `SharedArray` do. +- `SingleProducerByteStream.Available` and `.Used` read the unmapped header after `Dispose()`; they throw + `ObjectDisposedException` like the other members. +- The timeout overloads of `ConcurrentQueue` and `ConcurrentMessageQueue` counted a failed enqueue or + dequeue on every poll (about 1,800 for 4 s of waiting). A call now counts once, when it gives up, and + not at all when it succeeds after waiting. They also no longer allocate a `Stopwatch` per call. +- `OpenExisting` racing the process that creates the region reported "invalid header" or "empty" about once in + eleven races instead of waiting the few microseconds until the creator had written the header. It waits up + to two seconds for a region that is still being created. +- Linux: two processes calling `CreateOrOpen` for a new name at the same moment both became the creator, and + the one that then failed (another capacity or region kind) deleted the file the other was using, so later + openers got a second, separate region. `FileMode.CreateNew` decides who creates and sizes the file, and + only that process removes it when construction fails. +- `MemoryRegionOptions.FilePath`: an existing file of another size was grown to the requested capacity before + anything checked it, which left it permanently resized and could never be undone. It is now rejected + without being modified (an older format or a foreign file is reported as such), and the file is opened + with sharing so that a second process can map it. +- `MemoryRegion.GetMemory` returned a `Memory` that did not keep the region reachable; a caller that + dropped the region and kept the memory let the finalizer unmap it, which ended the process. +- Linux: a lock owner that had been killed but not yet reaped by its parent (a zombie) counted as alive. It is + recognised as gone now. +- A waiting reader now recovers a write lock whose owner process died, like a waiting writer does. It used + to wait for its whole timeout. +- Disposing a region while another thread waits for one of its locks no longer crashes the process; + the waiter fails with `ObjectDisposedException`. +- `ConcurrentQueue` and `ConcurrentMessageQueue` with a capacity of 1 overwrote the stored item when a second + one was enqueued and then never delivered anything again. They need two slots, so a requested capacity + of 1 is now raised to 2, and an existing region that stored a capacity of 1 is rejected as invalid + (remove it with `MemoryRegion.Remove`). +- Linux: creating a region larger than the free space of `/dev/shm` (Docker's default is 64 MB) succeeded and + the process was killed with an uncatchable `SIGBUS` at the first write that did not fit. `CreateOrOpen` + now throws `IOException` up front; a file-backed region (`MemoryRegionOptions.FilePath`) is checked too. +- Generic unmanaged structs (`ValueTuple`, `KeyValuePair<,>`) work in all typed containers. + Fingerprints of types that already worked are unchanged, so existing regions stay compatible. +- Two byte `SharedArray` elements could be read half written by another process (a two byte copy is a + one byte store plus a two byte store). Elements of 1, 2, 4 and 8 bytes are now read and written with one + typed load/store. `StructuredMemory` had the same defect for 2 byte scalars and, because it only locked + values wider than 8 bytes, also for 3, 5, 6 and 7 byte values and for small arrays: only 1, 2, 4 and 8 + byte scalars are lock-free now, everything else (including every array) takes the shared lock. +- `SharedArray` disposes its region when opening fails because of a different element type or length. +- `SharedArray` and `StructuredMemory` publish their header magic after the other fields, which + prevents a spurious format error on weakly ordered CPUs. +- `Dispose()` racing a call that is still running on another thread is mitigated by + `DisposeGracePeriod`. This is best effort; stop and join threads before disposing. + +### Added + +- `MemoryRegion.Remove(name, options)` deletes the backing storage of a region left unusable by a crash. +- `MemoryRegion.ForceResetLocks()` and `StructuredMemory.ForceResetLocks()` / + `SharedArray.ForceResetLocks()` clear lock state left behind by a crashed process. +- `LockOwnerInfo.ReaderCount` for diagnosing a stale reader count. +- `MemoryRegion.DisposeGracePeriod` (static, process-wide). +- `SharedArray.AcquireReadLock()` / `AcquireWriteLock()` with timeout overloads, returning + reentrant `ref struct` guards. +- GitHub Actions workflow that builds and tests on Linux and Windows. + +### Removed + +- Finalizers on `ConcurrentMessageQueue`, `SingleProducerByteStream`, `SharedArray` and + `StructuredMemory`. The `MemoryRegion` finalizer still unmaps the memory when `Dispose` is never + called. diff --git a/InterprocessMemory.TestWorker/Program.cs b/InterprocessMemory.TestWorker/Program.cs index e5e48f4..31ad337 100644 --- a/InterprocessMemory.TestWorker/Program.cs +++ b/InterprocessMemory.TestWorker/Program.cs @@ -18,6 +18,11 @@ /// concurrent_producer <name> <producerId> — enqueue 1000 unique integers /// try_write_lock <name> — try the cross-process write lock for 250 ms /// orphan_write_lock <name> — acquire a write lock and exit without releasing it +/// dispose_busy_poll <prefix> — 200 rounds of: pollers spin on a ConcurrentQueue while it is disposed +/// hold_write_lock <name> — acquire a write lock, print "holding", and keep it until killed or until +/// the parent closes our standard input (the parent died) +/// hold_read_lock <name> — acquire a read lock, print "holding", and keep it until killed or until +/// the parent closes our standard input (the parent died) /// if (args.Length < 2) { @@ -43,6 +48,9 @@ args.Length >= 3 ? int.Parse(args[2]) : 0), "try_write_lock" => TryWriteLock(bufferName), "orphan_write_lock" => OrphanWriteLock(bufferName), + "dispose_busy_poll" => DisposeBusyPoll(bufferName), + "hold_write_lock" => HoldWriteLock(bufferName), + "hold_read_lock" => HoldReadLock(bufferName), _ => Error($"Unknown role: {role}") }; @@ -197,6 +205,97 @@ static int OrphanWriteLock(string name) return 0; // Deliberately skip Dispose/Release; process teardown closes only the mapping handle. } +// The common shutdown pattern: consumers spin on TryDequeue while another thread disposes the queue.
