Is this a BUG REPORT or FEATURE REQUEST? (leave only one on its own line)

/kind bug

Description

Running the docker-py integration tests against Podman's API it crashes with the following error roughly 3 out of 4 times:

panic: send on closed channel

goroutine 1199 [running]:
github.com/containers/podman/v3/libpod.(*Container).readFromJournal.func1()
/home/riyad/src/podman/libpod/container_log_linux.go:242 +0x5ae
created by github.com/containers/podman/v3/libpod.(*Container).readFromJournal
/home/riyad/src/podman/libpod/container_log_linux.go:118 +0x812

All following requests receive 111 Connection refused responses.

When it happens it seems to always happen on the AttachContainerTest.test_run_container_reading_socket test.
Sadly only running this test in isolation doesn't trigger the crash. I tried including some of the preceding tests (see below for reproduction) until it crashes roughly 1/3 of the time.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

Run Podman API server

  1. ./bin/podman system service -t 0

Run tests against API

  1. DOCKER_HOST=unix:/run/user/1000/podman/podman.sock pytest -v -k 'RestartContainerTest or AttachContainerTest' tests/integration/api_container_test.py

Triggers the race condition roughly 1 out of 3 times.

Describe the results you received:

Podman API server crashes with:

panic: send on closed channel

goroutine 1199 [running]:
github.com/containers/podman/v3/libpod.(*Container).readFromJournal.func1()
/home/riyad/src/podman/libpod/container_log_linux.go:242 +0x5ae
created by github.com/containers/podman/v3/libpod.(*Container).readFromJournal
/home/riyad/src/podman/libpod/container_log_linux.go:118 +0x812

All following requests receive 111 Connection refused responses.

Describe the results you expected:

Should not crash.

Additional information you deem important (e.g. issue happens only occasionally):

Looking around in old docker-py integration test logs the first occurrence of this crash I can find is running against 49cfed7 ... which kind of coincides with #11263 being merged the day before. I don't know whether it may have caused or just uncovered this race condition. 🤔
Maybe it helps narrowing it down.

Waiting on an initialized sync.WaitGroup returns immediately.
Hence, move the goroutine to wait and close *after* reading
the logs.

Fix for the race is here: #12909

Thanks for providing the excellent reproducer, that really helped tracking the bug down.

apiv2 test: add regression test for containers#12904
af6a43f 
Add a regression test for issue containers#12904 to make sure that attaching with
logs=true to the compact endpoint does not blow up.  Note that I did not
find a way to test the output (i.e., '123'); logs are sent in a binary
format and I did not find a way to compare the control characters.
