Server data race #4790

a-palchikov · 2020-11-11T21:14:22Z

This PR fixes the data race I spotted the RoundRobin test.

What's interesting with this changeset is that it prompted a change in gogo/protobuf which I implemented in a temporary fork until the issue is resolved upstream.
I've submitted a PR upstream.

google.protobuf.Timestamp Expires = 5 [
    (gogoproto.stdtime) = true,   // specifically this is causing issues with reflect-based cloning
    (gogoproto.nullable) = false,
    (gogoproto.jsontag) = "started,omitempty"
];

Basically, protobuf package provides a reflect-based implementation of Clone. Attempting it on the Server type unfortunately in the version v1.3.1 results in:

Could you link the upstream patch please?
Let's wait a week or two, maybe it'll get accepted and we won't end up with yet another dependency fork.

nit: use WithFields to specify multiple fields at once

The proto.Merger docs say:

// Merge merges the contents of src into the receiver message. // It clones all data structures in src such that it aliases no mutable // memory referenced by src.

There are 2 possible issues:

if r.Foo is set and s.Foo is empty, I assume that r.Foo value should be preserved

if Rotation ever gets a pointer field, we break the promise of not keeping mutable memory references

I don't fully understand why we need to implement proto.Merger. Does proto.Clone not work on Rotation otherwise?

Can you link to the docs you reference, btw?
I know this is not the complete Merger implementation - it implements enough to support the Clone use-case so it assumes that the receiver is zero value. Unfortunately I was not able to find a concise way to implement it to fulfill the Merger requirements you described and yet be able to avoid exhaustive manual tests of each attribute which is exactly why I opted for Clone.
Also, the Merger interface used here has a somewhat less strict requirement:

// Merge merges src into this message. // Required and optional fields that are set in src will be set to that value in dst. // Elements of repeated fields will be appended. // ...

As to why I implemented Merger also for Rotation - exactly for the same reason as for Metadata - b/c it was not working with reflect due to use of time.Time which sports unexported fields.

Ahh, I was looking at the regular protobuf docs, not gogoproto: https://github.com/golang/protobuf/blob/master/proto/proto.go#L99-L101

I think this merger implementation will cause problems later on, when it starts getting hit from non-Clone use-cases for whatever reason.
For now, it's OK to merge to fix the race, but leave a comment explaining that it's a partial implementation. Next person reading this code will appreciate the background :)
