Bug report

Bug description:

I built cpython (3.13 branch) with free-threading and TSAN. The following python code reports TSAN warnings:

import ctypes
import concurrent.futures
import threading


def raw_func(x):
    pass


def test_ctypes():
    def lookup():
        prototype = ctypes.CFUNCTYPE(None, ctypes.c_void_p)
        return prototype(raw_func)

    ctypes_args = ()
    func = lookup()
    packed_args = (ctypes.c_void_p * len(ctypes_args))()
    for argNum in range(len(ctypes_args)):
        packed_args[argNum] = ctypes.cast(ctypes_args[argNum], ctypes.c_void_p)
    func(packed_args)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    num_workers = 20

    barrier = threading.Barrier(num_workers)

    def closure():
        barrier.wait()
        test_ctypes()

    with concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=num_workers) as executor:
        futures = []
        for i in range(num_workers):
            futures.append(executor.submit(closure))
        assert len(list(f.result() for f in futures)) == num_workers

TSAN report extract:
