itertoolsmodule: free-threading use after free bug in counting slow mode

Bug report

Bug description:

https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/main/Modules/itertoolsmodule.c#L3663

During next we swap out the pointer for lz->long_cnt inside count_nextlong. This can cause a use after free bug as shown with a new test. Running this is TSAN mode exposes this reliably.

ThreadSanitizer can not provide additional info.

class TestCountConcurrent(unittest.TestCase):
    @staticmethod
    def _spin_next(it, n=2000):
        for _ in range(n):
            next(it)

    @staticmethod
    def _spin_repr(it, n=2000):
        for _ in range(n):
            repr(it)

    @threading_helper.reap_threads
    def test_repr_racing_next_fast_mode(self):
        for _ in range(10):
            it = count()
            workers = [self._spin_next] * 2 + [self._spin_repr] * 4
            threading_helper.run_concurrently(workers, args=(it,))

    @threading_helper.reap_threads
    def test_repr_racing_next_slow_mode(self):
        for _ in range(10):
            # Large count to trigger "slow mode"
            it = count(10**18, 2)
            workers = [self._spin_next] * 2 + [self._spin_repr] * 4
            threading_helper.run_concurrently(workers, args=(it,))

To fix I believe we need to hold a critical section reference in repr to fetching a reference to long_cnt

Trước tiên, hãy xem xét gh-153983, vì nó được liên kết từ issue này. Sau đó kiểm tra Modules/itertoolsmodule.c xung quanh count_nextlong và đường repr, rồi chạy các trường hợp TestCountConcurrent được cung cấp dưới ThreadSanitizer. Được xem là hoàn tất khi race repr/next ở chế độ chậm không còn gây ra lỗi use-after-free đã được báo cáo.
