Summary:
The current locktree implementation stores the address of the
PessimisticTransactions object as the TXNID. However, when a transaction
is blocked on a lock, it records the list of waitees with conflicting
locks using the rocksdb assigned TransactionID. This is performed by
calling GetID() on PessimisticTransactions objects of the waitees,
and then recorded in the waiter's list.
However, there is no guarantee the objects are valid when recording the
waitee list during the conflict callbacks because the waitee
could have released the lock and freed the PessimisticTransactions
object.
The waitee/txnid values are only valid PessimisticTransaction objects
while the mutex for the root of the locktree is held.
The simplest fix for this problem is to use the address of the
PessimisticTransaction as the TransactionID so that it is consistent
with its usage in the locktree. The TXNID is only converted back to a
PessimisticTransaction for the report_wait callbacks. Since
these callbacks are now all made within the critical section where the
lock_request queue mutx is held, these conversions will be safe.
Otherwise, only the uint64_t TXNID of the waitee is registerd
with the waiter transaction. The PessimisitcTransaction object of the
waitee is never referenced.
The main downside of this approach is the TransactionID will not change
if the PessimisticTransaction object is reused for new transactions.
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/pull/9898
Test Plan:
Add a new test case and run unit tests.
Also verified with MyRocks workloads using range locks that the
crash no longer happens.
