There was a problem hiding this comment.
Tested for regressions of this change with some larger scans. No additional problems found, scans are still working as expected.
I wasn't able to reproduce the initial problem though and can't judge on the code changes itself, a final approval is required by @greenbone/gvm-dev
In some cases, in which expand_vhosts and test_empty_vhost options are enabled, a plugin process fork()s one child for vhost. These children inherit the current state of vhosts list, but it does not check if the concurrent child plugin has already added a new found vhost. Now, it checks not only if the vhost has been added by another plugin before (and already exists in the vhosts list), but also checks if a concurrent child added to the internal/vhosts key in redis.
Like the previous commit, but this check is done at host process level, It does not removes the appended vhosts from internal/vhosts key (get instead pop) So, avoids race condition in which other plugins checks for adding the same vhosts, and they have an outdated vhosts list.
