描述
Bug report
Bug description:
#131336 / #128182 made ctypes.resize and addressof/byref thread-safe by taking a critical section in _ctypes_resize, which reallocates obj->b_ptr:
But the buffer-protocol getbuffer, PyCData_NewGetBuffer (reached via memoryview(cdata)), reads self->b_ptr without that critical section:
So memoryview(obj) racing ctypes.resize(obj) reads a b_ptr that resize concurrently reallocates.
Reproducer:
import ctypes
from threading import Thread
buf = (ctypes.c_char * 64)()
def viewer():
for _ in range(20000):
try:
memoryview(buf)
except Exception:
pass
def resizer():
for i in range(20000):
try:
ctypes.resize(buf, 128 if (i & 1) else 256)
except Exception:
pass
threads = [Thread(target=viewer) for _ in range(6)]
threads += [Thread(target=resizer) for _ in range(2)]
for t in threads: t.start()
for t in threads: t.join()

研究方向
從 Modules/_ctypes/_ctypes.c 中的 PyCData_NewGetBuffer 開始,並將其對 b_ptr 的存取與 Modules/_ctypes/callproc.c 中 _ctypes_resize_impl 的臨界區進行比較。使用 ThreadSanitizer 執行提供的多執行緒重現程式。當 memoryview/ctypes.resize 競態不再被回報,同時現有行為維持不變時,即表示完成。
