Public bug reported: Forking processes when a few threads are already running is potentially unsafe operation and could cause a lot of problems because only current thread will continue working in child thread. Any locked by other thread resource will remain locked forever.
We faced with this problem during oslo.messaging development and added workaround to hide this problem: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/274255/ I tried to fix this problem in oslo.service: https://review.openstack.org/#/c/270832/ but oslo folks said that this fix is ugly and it is wrong way to add workarounds to common libraries because projects use them incorrectly. I think that is fare. ** Affects: neutron Importance: Undecided Assignee: Dmitriy Ukhlov (dukhlov) Status: In Progress ** Changed in: neutron Assignee: (unassigned) => Dmitriy Ukhlov (dukhlov) ** Changed in: neutron Status: New => In Progress -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
