Keep sendall deadline; isolate STW eval-breaker test by youknowone · Pull Request #8786 · RustPython/RustPython

youknowone · 2026-09-22T12:46:52Z

Follow-up to #8778 CodeRabbit review.

sendall previously rebuilt a timeout from Deadline::time_until() on every chunk. After a wait, that leftover duration became a new deadline, so a slow sendall could run past the original timeout. sock_op_timeout_err now takes the absolute Deadline from sendall and keeps it for the whole write.

The STW eval-breaker change in #8778 is covered by a second unit test that sets the current thread's stop_requested with the process-wide STOP_BIT clear, then asserts eval_breaker_tripped() is true while eval_breaker_pending() is false.

Verified locally:

cargo test -p rustpython-vm --lib --features threading eval_breaker_tripped_when_stop_requested
cargo test -p rustpython-vm --lib --features threading stop_the_world_parks

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Improved socket timeout handling for send and receive operations, providing more consistent behavior when deadlines are reached.
- Prevented unnecessary socket waits and retries after a timeout has already expired.
- Improved responsiveness when stopping execution from an individual thread.
Tests
- Added coverage for thread-level stop requests when the global stop signal is not set.

Pass sendall's absolute Deadline through sock_op_timeout_err. Add a test that trips eval_breaker_tripped with STOP_BIT clear. Assisted-by: Grok:4.6

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The socket wait path now receives a precomputed Deadline. The VM adds test-only support and coverage for a per-thread stop request triggering the eval breaker when the process-wide stop bit is clear.

Changes

Socket deadline handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Precomputed socket deadlines `crates/stdlib/src/socket.rs`	`sock_op` and `sendall` pass a precomputed `Deadline` through the socket wait path. Retry and wait decisions use deadline presence. `Deadline` is `Copy` and `Clone`, and `time_until` was removed.

Thread stop-request testing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Stop-request eval-breaker test support `crates/vm/src/vm/thread.rs`, `crates/vm/src/vm/interpreter.rs`	Test-only code sets the current thread's cached `stop_requested` flag. A threading-gated test verifies that this flag trips the VM eval breaker while the process-wide stop bit is clear.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to bcdf5

The new test may fail intermittently under parallel execution; serialize it with other STOP_BIT tests before merging.

Serialize process-wide breaker tests.

clear_stop_bit() does not protect the following eval_breaker_pending() load from concurrent updates. The test at Lines 1788-1793 can set STOP_BIT between these lines, which can make this assertion fail nondeterministically. Use a shared test-only mutex, or otherwise serialize this test with stop_the_world_parks_when_global_stop_bit_is_cleared.
