in_tail: Fix a stall bug on !follow_inode case (fluent#4327)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Fix fluent#3614

Although known stall issues of in_tail on `follow_inode` case are fixed
in v1.16.2, it has still a similar problem on `!follow_inode` case.

In this case, a tail watcher is possible to mark the position entry as
`unwatched` if it's tansitioned to `rotate_wait` state by
`refresh_watcher` even if another newer tail watcher is managing it.
It's hard to occur in usual because `stat_watcher` will be called
immediately after the file is changed  while `refresh_wather` is called
every 60 seconds by default. However, there is a rare possibility that
this order might be swapped especillay if in_tail is busy on processing
large amount of logs. Because in_tail is single threadied, event queues
such as timers or inotify will be stucked in this case.

There is no such problem on `follow_inode` case because position entries
are always marked as `unwatched` before entering `rotate_wait` state.
