Two coordinated improvements to the `subint_forkserver` backend:
1. Replace `trio.to_thread.run_sync(os.waitpid, ...,
abandon_on_cancel=False)` in `_ForkedProc.wait()`
with `trio.lowlevel.wait_readable(pidfd)`. The
prior version blocked a trio cache thread on a
sync syscall — outer cancel scopes couldn't
unwedge it when something downstream got stuck.
Same pattern `trio.Process.wait()` and
`proc_waiter` (the mp backend) already use.
2. Drop the `@pytest.mark.xfail(strict=True)` from
`test_orphaned_subactor_sigint_cleanup_DRAFT` —
the test now PASSES after 0cd0b633 (fork-child
FD scrub). Same root cause as the nested-cancel
hang: inherited IPC/trio FDs were poisoning the
child's event loop. Closing them lets SIGINT
propagation work as designed.
Deats,
- `_ForkedProc.__init__` opens a pidfd via
`os.pidfd_open(pid)` (Linux 5.3+, Python 3.9+)
- `wait()` parks on `trio.lowlevel.wait_readable()`,
then non-blocking `waitpid(WNOHANG)` to collect
the exit status (correct since the pidfd signal
IS the child-exit notification)
- `ChildProcessError` swallow handles the rare race
where someone else reaps first
- pidfd closed after `wait()` completes (one-shot
semantics) + `__del__` belt-and-braces for
unexpected-teardown paths
- test docstring's `@xfail` block replaced with a
`# NOTE` comment explaining the historical
context + cross-ref to the conc-anal doc; test
remains in place as a regression guard
The two changes are interdependent — the
cancellable `wait()` matters for the same nested-
cancel scenarios the FD scrub fixes, since the
original deadlock had trio cache workers wedged in
`os.waitpid` swallowing the outer cancel.
