Bug description:
Short story:
- Socket is closed in
_SelectorTransport.__del__, so it doesn't own the fd anymore. - Anything else in the process can create a new file descriptor at this point.
- If the transport is gc-resurrected to call
close(), it can then remove the reader/writer fromloop._selectorhere or here for a fd it doesn't control anymore, causing access to that fd to hang.
Long story:
- Introduce a GC cycle, such that an
asyncio.selector_events._SelectorTransportand the object owning it are collected at the same time. - The transport
__del__will be called, closing the socket, freeing its file descriptor, but not performing any other cleanup. - The owning object, being a good citizen, resurrects the transport during gc to have
close()called on it properly. In the case of this issue, an asyncio task was created to close it later. (I definitely don't love seeingasyncio.create_taskin a__del__method, but I expect that's not the only way to trigger this) - At this point, anything in your asyncio runloop can open a file descriptor. In my case, it was
asyncio.create_subprocess_execcallingos.pidfd_create()inPidfdChildWatcher.add_child_handler. If you're lucky (or running a lot of tasks at once), the new fd will be the same as the resurrected socket's fd. - Now
transport.close()can run any time later, which will callloop._selector.remove_child_watcher(fd), despite not really owning the fd anymore. - Now the pidfd has been removed from
loop._selector, soawait proc.wait()will hang forever. Or whatever asyncio stream you were trying to use got removed from the selector and you won't be able to wait on it.
I definitely think the non-stdlib code in play here was unsound, but I don't think that should trigger such a cursed result in the stdlib, so I'd rather defend against this in asyncio.
I think this is the minimum patch to mitigate the issue, to prevent the remove_child_reader and remove_child_writer calls by breaking their pre-conditions. I'm not sure if it's worth trying to interact with the loop or selector from __del__ to clean up the fd. (Selecting on a missing fd is probably handled somewhere else anyway?)

Another consideration is that asyncio is using a cached self._sock_fd here without really knowing if the underlying socket was closed and fd was recycled or not. I think this isn't the first time the cached fd has caused a surprising behavior, see also https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/88968

Commencez par lire les chemins de nettoyage de _SelectorTransport dans Lib/asyncio/selector_events.py, en particulier close() et __del__, ainsi que le problème connexe du FD mis en cache #88968. Reproduisez le scénario de réutilisation du FD décrit dans le rapport et vérifiez qu’un transport ressuscité ne désenregistre plus un descripteur recyclé du sélecteur.
