Deadlock when shutting down ThreadPoolExecutor from inside OS Signal handler

Bug report

Bug description:

When running the code below and sending a SIGTERM to the process results in what looks like a deadlock on the ThreadPoolExecutor._shutdown_lock. I guess the issue is that the SIGTERM is being handled in main thread while in the submit function where the _shutdown_lock is already locked. When I try calling shutdown inside the signal handler it waits forever.

TBH I'm not sure if this is a bug or expected behavior but I wanted to file this anyways. Thanks!

from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor
import signal


def main():
    with ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=2) as executor:

        def __exit(signal, frame):
            executor.shutdown(wait=True, cancel_futures=True)

        signal.signal(signal.SIGTERM, __exit)

        while True:
            executor.submit(lambda: 1 + 1)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

AFTER sending SIGTERM to the process, this is what pystack shows:

Tái hiện ví dụ SIGTERM được cung cấp, sau đó kiểm tra concurrent/futures/thread.py quanh ThreadPoolExecutor.submit(), shutdown() và _shutdown_lock. Issue không định nghĩa hành vi được mong đợi của signal handler và cũng không nêu tên một test nào; để tiến triển, cần thống nhất về hành vi đó và thêm một regression test cho thấy quá trình hoàn tất mà không xảy ra deadlock đã được báo cáo.
