Serialize SemLock bookkeeping for Condition notify - #8739
Conversation
Hold a mutex around SemLock acquire/release/_count so the per-object owner count cannot tear while threads and processes share a Condition. Drop the mutex only for the blocking wait. Mark Unix SemHandle Send/Sync. Add a spawn Condition.notify_all snippet. Assisted-by: Grok:4.6
Give the snippets job more chances to see a lost wakeup. Assisted-by: Grok:4.6
Wake a process waiter and a thread waiter with two notify() calls, not only notify_all(), and keep the 20-repeat loop. Assisted-by: Grok:4.6

- Line 503: Update the SemLock operation containing try_float and
vm.check_signals so crit is not held during either VM callback: perform timeout
conversion before acquiring crit, and release then reacquire the guard around
signal handling. Keep the semaphore trial and owner bookkeeping protected by
crit, preserving the existing acquire/release behavior.
In `@extra_tests/snippets/stdlib_multiprocessing_condition.py`:
- Line 39: Update every Semaphore.acquire call in the synchronization tests,
including the calls in the worker, waiter, and process/thread coordination
flows, to use a five-second timeout and assert successful acquisition. Add a
distinct diagnostic message for each wait identifying the worker, waiter,
process, or thread that failed to reach or leave Condition.wait().

Do not hold crit during VM callbacks.
crit is non-reentrant. The guard remains held while try_float(vm) can invoke a timeout object's __float__ method and while vm.check_signals() can invoke a Python signal handler. Either callback can call _count, acquire, or release on the same SemLock, which self-deadlocks on crit.
Move lock acquisition after timeout conversion. Drop and reacquire it around signal handling. Keep the semaphore trial and owner bookkeeping in the critical section.
