---------------------------------------- Bug #4955: Puppet::Util.sync is not thread safe https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4955 Author: Markus Roberts Status: Ready for Testing Priority: High Assignee: Markus Roberts Category: threading Target version: 2.6.3 Affected Puppet version: 0.24.0 Keywords: Branch: MarkusQ:tickets/2.6.x/4955 The routine for issuing reference specific sync objects is tricky to use correctly since it is not thread safe (it also appears to leak memory): <pre> # Return the sync object associated with a given resource. def self.sync(resource) @@syncresources[resource] ||= Sync.new @@syncresources[resource] end </pre> The problem is somewhat muddled by the implication that the key object is a resource (and thus may be thread bound) -- in fact many of the code paths use something other than a resource as a key. This also affect threadlock, which is built on top of sync. Apparently I don't "get" irony, so I won't comment on that aspect of the situation, but this is still something that ought to be fix (a "bug," to be technical). -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
