Bug description:
Modification of type slots is protected by the global type lock, however, type slots are read non-atomically without holding the type lock. For example, in PyObject_SetItem
:
Lines 231 to 235 in 5bb059f
It's not clear how we want to address this. From @colesbury in #127169 (comment):
I'd lean towards doing a stop-the-world pause when modifying the slot so that we don't need
to change every read. I expect that to be a bit tricky since class definitions look like they're mutating
the class.
