We need the VM barrier in rb_gc_impl_before_fork to stop the other Ractors
because otherwise they could be allocating objects in the fast path which
could be calling mmtk_add_obj_free_candidate. Since mmtk_add_obj_free_candidate
acquires a lock on obj_free_candidates in weak_proc.rs, this lock may not
be released in the child process after the Ractor dies.
For example, the following script demonstrates the issue:
puts "Hello #{Process.pid}"
100.times do |i|
puts "i = #{i}"
Ractor.new(i) do |j|
puts "Ractor #{j} hello"
1000.times do |i|
s = "#{j}-#{i}"
end
Ractor.receive
puts "Ractor #{j} goodbye"
end
pid = fork { }
puts "Child pid is #{pid}"
_, status = Process.waitpid2 pid
puts status.success?
end
puts "Goodbye"
In the child process, we can see that it is stuck trying to acquire the
lock on obj_free_candidates:
