From ebd0a95717fb69cb1fa274230b497807a06c8138 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: greateggsgreg Date: Sat, 9 May 2026 16:17:21 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 01/24] Thread-safety prep for free-threading builds Two narrow fixes to remove obvious data races that already exist on the GIL build and become hot paths under Py_GIL_DISABLED: - InternString: replace plain Dictionary<> with ConcurrentDictionary<> for both _string2interns and _intern2strings. These are written from startup but read from every attribute-lookup hot path, so any concurrent shutdown/reinit could tear them. - ClassDerived.GetModuleBuilder: add a lock around the check-then-create on assemblyBuilders/moduleBuilders. The previous ContainsKey-then-DefineDynamicAssembly pattern had a TOCTOU race that could produce duplicate builders. Reset() also now locks for a clean reinitialisation. These are not sufficient for full free-threading support, but they remove low-hanging concurrency hazards. --- src/runtime/InternString.cs | 9 +++---- src/runtime/Types/ClassDerived.cs | 40 +++++++++++++------------------ 2 files changed, 22 insertions(+), 27 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/runtime/InternString.cs b/src/runtime/InternString.cs index decb3981d..aaac39203 100644 --- a/src/runtime/InternString.cs +++ b/src/runtime/InternString.cs @@ -1,4 +1,5 @@ using System; +using System.Collections.Concurrent; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Diagnostics; using System.Linq; @@ -8,8 +9,8 @@ namespace Python.Runtime { static partial class InternString { - private static readonly Dictionary _string2interns = new(); - private static readonly Dictionary _intern2strings = new(); + private static readonly ConcurrentDictionary _string2interns = new(); + private static readonly ConcurrentDictionary _intern2strings = new(); const BindingFlags PyIdentifierFieldFlags = BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.NonPublic; static InternString() @@ -75,8 +76,8 @@ public static bool TryGetInterned(BorrowedReference op, out string s) private static void SetIntern(string s, PyString op) { - _string2interns.Add(s, op); - _intern2strings.Add(op.Reference.DangerousGetAddress(), s); + _string2interns.TryAdd(s, op); + _intern2strings.TryAdd(op.Reference.DangerousGetAddress(), s); } } } diff --git a/src/runtime/Types/ClassDerived.cs b/src/runtime/Types/ClassDerived.cs index 69eba2cc2..57c564cc1 100644 --- a/src/runtime/Types/ClassDerived.cs +++ b/src/runtime/Types/ClassDerived.cs @@ -34,6 +34,7 @@ internal class ClassDerivedObject : ClassObject { private static Dictionary assemblyBuilders; private static Dictionary, ModuleBuilder> moduleBuilders; + private static readonly object _buildersLock = new(); static ClassDerivedObject() { @@ -43,8 +44,11 @@ static ClassDerivedObject() public static void Reset() { - assemblyBuilders = new Dictionary(); - moduleBuilders = new Dictionary, ModuleBuilder>(); + lock (_buildersLock) + { + assemblyBuilders = new Dictionary(); + moduleBuilders = new Dictionary, ModuleBuilder>(); + } } internal ClassDerivedObject(Type tp) : base(tp) @@ -694,33 +698,23 @@ private static void AddPythonProperty(string propertyName, PyObject func, TypeBu private static ModuleBuilder GetModuleBuilder(string assemblyName, string moduleName) { - // find or create a dynamic assembly and module - AppDomain domain = AppDomain.CurrentDomain; - ModuleBuilder moduleBuilder; - - if (moduleBuilders.ContainsKey(Tuple.Create(assemblyName, moduleName))) - { - moduleBuilder = moduleBuilders[Tuple.Create(assemblyName, moduleName)]; - } - else + var key = Tuple.Create(assemblyName, moduleName); + lock (_buildersLock) { - AssemblyBuilder assemblyBuilder; - if (assemblyBuilders.ContainsKey(assemblyName)) - { - assemblyBuilder = assemblyBuilders[assemblyName]; - } - else + if (moduleBuilders.TryGetValue(key, out ModuleBuilder? existing)) + return existing; + + if (!assemblyBuilders.TryGetValue(assemblyName, out AssemblyBuilder? assemblyBuilder)) { - assemblyBuilder = domain.DefineDynamicAssembly(new AssemblyName(assemblyName), - AssemblyBuilderAccess.Run); + assemblyBuilder = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.DefineDynamicAssembly( + new AssemblyName(assemblyName), AssemblyBuilderAccess.Run); assemblyBuilders[assemblyName] = assemblyBuilder; } - moduleBuilder = assemblyBuilder.DefineDynamicModule(moduleName); - moduleBuilders[Tuple.Create(assemblyName, moduleName)] = moduleBuilder; + var moduleBuilder = assemblyBuilder.DefineDynamicModule(moduleName); + moduleBuilders[key] = moduleBuilder; + return moduleBuilder; } - - return moduleBuilder; } } From cf8372ad89d6cdf61829c7bf5142d16dd0cd426c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: greateggsgreg Date: Sat, 9 May 2026 17:59:20 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 02/24] Initialise pythonnet on free-threaded Python (#2720) Free-threaded CPython (Py_GIL_DISABLED) changes the PyObject layout in two pythonnet-relevant ways: - The header is 16 bytes larger (ob_tid + flags + mutex + gc_bits + ob_ref_local + ob_ref_shared replace the single ob_refcnt). - The refcount is no longer a single field; reads must go through the Py_REFCNT API. Detect the build at runtime via sys._is_gil_enabled() in ABI.Initialize and: - Set ObjectHeadOffset to 16 on free-threaded builds so the generated TypeOffset values still resolve to absolute PyHeapTypeObject offsets. - Skip the ob_refcnt probe (it scans for an IntPtr value of 1 which cannot be located reliably under the FT layout). Add a Py_REFCNT P/Invoke (try-loaded; only exported as a function on CPython 3.14+) and prefer it in Runtime.Refcount, falling back to the existing direct read on older Pythons that only expose Py_REFCNT as a macro. --- src/runtime/Native/ABI.cs | 31 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++--- src/runtime/Runtime.Delegates.cs | 10 ++++++++++ src/runtime/Runtime.cs | 16 ++++++++-------- 3 files changed, 46 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/runtime/Native/ABI.cs b/src/runtime/Native/ABI.cs index c41b42f0a..c4e140b84 100644 --- a/src/runtime/Native/ABI.cs +++ b/src/runtime/Native/ABI.cs @@ -7,11 +7,23 @@ namespace Python.Runtime.Native static class ABI { - public static int RefCountOffset { get; } = GetRefCountOffset(); - public static int ObjectHeadOffset => RefCountOffset; + // Offset of ob_refcnt within PyObject.

cache.Add(t, pyType); // throws under contention, partial type otherwise InitializeClass(...); } Two threads racing past the TryGetValue could both call AllocateClass and one would throw on Dictionary.Add ("duplicate key"). Worse, the cache add happens *before* InitializeClass populates members so a third thread's outside-the-lock fast path could observe a partially- initialised type and fail with AttributeError on members not yet added (reproducible under free-threaded Python with concurrent attribute access on built-in CLR types). Convert ClassManager.cache and TypeManager.cache to ConcurrentDictionary and serialise the multi-step initialisation behind a lock. ReflectedClrType.GetOrCreate uses a two-cache design: - `cache` - only fully-initialised types; safe to read on the outside-the-lock fast path. - `_inProgressCache` - partial types being built inside the lock; visible only to the building thread, so self-referential class definitions (which recurse into GetOrCreate for the same type chain) still resolve. Cross-thread access cannot reach the in-progress cache because acquiring the lock is required, so other threads always see fully-ready types.

ClassDerivedObject.tp_dealloc and ManagedType.TryFreeGCHandle both read the GCHandle slot, then mutated it. Under FT, subtype_clear (on the main thread) and the .NET finalizer thread can race for the same slot; a non-atomic read-then-zero lets both threads observe the same handle and double-free it. Both paths now use Interlocked.Exchange to atomically claim ownership of the slot - only the thread that observes a non-zero handle frees it. ClassDerived's strong-to-weak swap follows the same pattern. CreateDerivedType emits IL via Reflection.Emit, whose ModuleBuilder and TypeBuilder operations are documented as not thread-safe. Concurrent dynamic subclass creation under FT corrupts the IL stream and segfaults. Serialise the entire emit-and-bake sequence on the existing _buildersLock (the lock that already guarded the assembly / module builder cache). The .NET finalizer thread can dispatch Py_DecRef calls concurrently with Py_Finalize, and a stale read of ob_ref_local after teardown crashes the process. Three guards: - Finalizer.ThrottledCollect and PyObject's finalizer short-circuit when Runtime._Py_IsFinalizing(); PyObject drops the raw pointer instead of enqueueing a decref so process exit reclaims the memory. - Finalizer.AddFinalizedObject's Refcount > 0 Debug.Assert is kept on GIL builds and skipped on FT; a stale ob_ref_local read from the finalizer thread can crash the process even when the assertion would succeed under the GIL. - Runtime.XDecref's matching Refcount > 0 Debug.Assert gets the same FT-only skip for the same reason. --- src/runtime/Finalizer.cs | 12 +++++++- src/runtime/PythonTypes/PyObject.cs | 19 +++++++++--- src/runtime/Runtime.cs | 5 ++- src/runtime/Types/ClassDerived.cs | 47 +++++++++++++++++++++++------ src/runtime/Types/ManagedType.cs | 14 +++++---- 5 files changed, 76 insertions(+), 21 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/runtime/Finalizer.cs b/src/runtime/Finalizer.cs index 5b5ecfcfc..13a0bfb82 100644 --- a/src/runtime/Finalizer.cs +++ b/src/runtime/Finalizer.cs @@ -115,6 +115,10 @@ internal void ThrottledCollect() _throttled = unchecked(this._throttled + 1); if (!started || !Enable || _throttled < Threshold) return; + // Skip the drain while Python is finalizing: the .NET-side queue may + // contain references that became stale during teardown, and calling + // Py_DecRef on torn-down state segfaults under free-threaded Python. + if (Runtime._Py_IsFinalizing() == true) return; _throttled = 0; this.Collect(); } @@ -136,7 +140,13 @@ internal void AddFinalizedObject(ref IntPtr obj, int run return; } - Debug.Assert(Runtime.Refcount(new BorrowedReference(obj)) > 0); + // Skip the Refcount sanity check under free-threaded Python: the .NET + // finalizer thread can race with Py_Finalize and a stale read of + // ob_ref_local will crash the process.

ExecuteShutdownHandlers pops under the lock and invokes unlocked so handlers can re-enter Add/Remove without deadlock. - `initialized` flag is now volatile (read from worker threads, written from Initialize/Shutdown). src/runtime/Runtime.cs - `run` epoch now Interlocked.Increment + Volatile.Read; lost increments across re-init would let stale finalizer queue entries slip past the RuntimeRun guard. - `_pyRefs` mutations wrapped in a lock; ResetPyMembers snapshots then disposes outside the lock so a Dispose callback cannot reenter and deadlock. - `_isInitialized`, `_typesInitialized` now volatile. tests/test_thread.py - test_concurrent_delegate_creation (FT-only): reproduces the DelegateManager Reflection.Emit race - aborts with the lock removed, passes with it. - test_concurrent_shutdown_handler_register (FT-only): drives AddShutdownHandler/RemoveShutdownHandler from 8 threads on pre-built handlers. - Removed test_freethreaded_concurrent_attribute_access_no_tear; its workload duplicates test_concurrent_attribute_access at a different intensity without exercising additional code paths. Comment cleanup Trimmed multi-line thread-safety comments across the branch's earlier commits to single lines that capture only the non-obvious "why" (Concurrent: / Lock: / volatile: / Atomic claim:). Removed comments where the type signature already documents the choice. --- src/runtime/ClassManager.cs | 7 ++- src/runtime/DelegateManager.cs | 16 +++--- src/runtime/Finalizer.cs | 16 +++--- src/runtime/Interop.cs | 4 +- src/runtime/Native/ABI.cs | 7 +-- src/runtime/PythonEngine.cs | 31 ++++++++---- src/runtime/PythonTypes/PyBuffer.cs | 55 ++++++++++----------- src/runtime/PythonTypes/PyObject.cs | 5 +- src/runtime/Runtime.cs | 36 ++++++++------ src/runtime/TypeManager.cs | 2 +- src/runtime/Types/ClassBase.cs | 3 +- src/runtime/Types/ClassDerived.cs | 17 +------ src/runtime/Types/ExtensionType.cs | 2 - src/runtime/Types/ManagedType.cs | 5 +- src/runtime/Types/ModuleObject.cs | 1 - src/runtime/Util/GenericUtil.cs | 77 ++++++++++++++++++----------- tests/test_thread.py | 47 +++++++++++++++--- 17 files changed, 178 insertions(+), 153 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/runtime/ClassManager.cs b/src/runtime/ClassManager.cs index 1370d2557..10537948d 100644 --- a/src/runtime/ClassManager.cs +++ b/src/runtime/ClassManager.cs @@ -34,10 +34,9 @@ internal class ClassManager BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.NonPublic; - // Two-cache design for thread-safe type creation: - // `cache` — only fully-initialised types; safe to read without the lock. - // `_inProgressCache` — partial types being built inside the lock; visible only - // to the building thread (for self-referential definitions). + // cache: fully-initialised types (lock-free reads). + // _inProgressCache: partial types visible only to the lock-holding builder + // for self-referential definitions. internal static ConcurrentDictionary cache = new(); internal static readonly ConcurrentDictionary _inProgressCache = new(); internal static readonly object _cacheCreateLock = new(); diff --git a/src/runtime/DelegateManager.cs b/src/runtime/DelegateManager.cs index 4343b9ab7..c268c31ae 100644 --- a/src/runtime/DelegateManager.cs +++ b/src/runtime/DelegateManager.cs @@ -16,6 +16,8 @@ namespace Python.Runtime internal class DelegateManager { private readonly Dictionary cache = new(); + // Reflection.Emit is not thread-safe; serialise cache lookup + DefineType. + private readonly object _emitLock = new(); private readonly Type basetype = typeof(Dispatcher); private readonly Type arrayType = typeof(object[]); private readonly Type voidtype = typeof(void); @@ -37,18 +39,14 @@ public DelegateManager() /// private Type GetDispatcher(Type dtype) { - // If a dispatcher type for the given delegate type has already - // been generated, get it from the cache.

Adds inline notes at lock acquisitions where the "why" is not obvious from the field declaration alone: - ClassDerivedObject.Reset / GetModuleBuilder: explain that both builder caches must update atomically and that DefineDynamicAssembly / DefineDynamicModule produce duplicates under contention. - TypeManager.GetType: note that CreateType + cache write must be atomic. - ReflectedClrType.GetOrCreate: cross-file lock; mention it also serialises ClassManager.cache and TypeManager._slotsHolders writes. - Runtime.ResetPyMembers: explain the snapshot-then-dispose pattern (Dispose() callbacks would deadlock if invoked under the lock). Expands the strong->weak GCHandle swap in ClassDerivedObject.tp_dealloc to spell out: 1. Why the PyObject is not freed at refcount 0 (C# wrapper may still reference it; ToPython() resurrects via _Py_NewReference). 2. Why the handle is demoted to weak (lets the C# wrapper be GC'd; on collection PyFinalize enqueues the real PyObject_GC_Del). 3. Why the swap uses Interlocked.Exchange (tp_clear may race on the same slot under FT / finalizer thread; without atomic claim both threads could observe and double-free the same handle). --- src/runtime/Runtime.cs | 2 ++ src/runtime/TypeManager.cs | 1 + src/runtime/Types/ClassDerived.cs | 20 +++++++++++++++++++- src/runtime/Types/ReflectedClrType.cs | 2 ++ 4 files changed, 24 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/src/runtime/Runtime.cs b/src/runtime/Runtime.cs index d55121340..424871741 100644 --- a/src/runtime/Runtime.cs +++ b/src/runtime/Runtime.cs @@ -414,6 +414,8 @@ private static void SetPyMemberTypeOf(out PyObject obj, StolenReference value) private static void ResetPyMembers() { + // Snapshot under lock; Dispose() runs outside it so a callback that + // re-enters SetPyMember does not deadlock.
