What problem does this PR solve?

Issue Number: ref #11164

ConcurrentRunner allocates before duplicate coalescing and retains queue/index capacity after bursts. It can also dispatch a pending task before replacing its duplicate, allowing both callbacks to run.

What is changed and how does it work?

  • Coalesce pending duplicates before allocation and dispatch.
  • Preserve the original queue age and compact consumed queue/index storage.
  • Keep the existing 20,000,000 pending-task limit unchanged.
Reduce ConcurrentRunner allocation and retained queue storage.

Check List

  • Unit and race tests
  • make check
  • Duplicate submissions: 64 B/op, 1 alloc/op0 B/op, 0 alloc/op
  • Retained storage after a 20,000-task burst: 1.51 MB0.10 MB

This change does not reduce peak memory for a live backlog of unique tasks.

Release note

None.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Performance

    • Improved concurrent task queue processing and memory efficiency.
    • Added benchmarks for duplicate tasks, unique tasks, and burst workloads.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved duplicate-task dispatch and queue-order preservation.
    • Strengthened pending-task limit enforcement and related error handling.
    • Reduced retained storage after queued work is processed.
  • Tests

    • Expanded coverage for queue behavior, storage reuse, task limits, and concurrent processing.

Bound each concurrent runner to 100,000 pending tasks, preserve the original queue age when coalescing, and compact pending storage after bursts. Allocate task objects only after deduplication.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

ConcurrentRunner now stores pending tasks in a ring buffer with explicit length tracking. Submission and processing use queue helpers. Tests and benchmarks cover duplicate tasks, queue limits, storage reuse, ordering, and retained memory.

Changes

ConcurrentRunner queue management

Layer / File(s) Summary
Ring-buffer pending queue storage
pkg/ratelimit/runner.go
ConcurrentRunner adds pendingLen and replaces head-indexed storage and compaction with ring-buffer access, enqueue, dequeue, capacity growth, wrapping, and reset helpers.
Task submission integration
pkg/ratelimit/runner.go
Runner startup, shutdown, ticker handling, task processing, and RunTask use the ring-buffer queue state and helpers.
Queue behavior validation
pkg/ratelimit/runner_test.go, pkg/ratelimit/runner_benchmark_test.go
Tests verify duplicate-task behavior, queue age, pending-task limits, storage release, storage reuse, ordering, and task tracking. Benchmarks measure duplicate submissions, unique submissions, and retained memory after bursts.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 63b49

This change improves pending-task memory reuse and duplicate coalescing, but the queue-age test does not confirm that the original duplicate is present before comparing timestamps. A regression in that behavior could therefore pass tests; add the presence assertion before merge.

Comment thread pkg/ratelimit/runner.go Outdated
Reuse consumed pending slots with a ring buffer and release high-water storage only after the queue drains. This keeps pending admission and dispatch bounded while preserving FIFO order and duplicate lookup.

len is not the high-water capacity here. If the pending queue reaches exactly initialCapacity and then drains, len == cap == initialCapacity, so this branch calls resetPendingTasks(initialCapacity) and allocates a fresh 10,000-slot backing array even though there is no oversized slice to release. Repeated bursts at this ordinary threshold add allocation and GC work, which conflicts with the allocation-reduction goal of this PR.

Please use cap(cr.pendingTasks) > initialCapacity to decide whether the slice must be replaced. The existTasks map can still be reset independently.

I verified this with the following regression test. It fails on the current head because the backing-array address changes after draining exactly initialCapacity pending tasks:

func TestPendingQueueAtInitialCapacityReusesStorage(t *testing.T) {
	runner := NewConcurrentRunner("test", NewConcurrencyLimiter(1), time.Minute)
	noop := func(context.Context) {}

	require.NoError(t, runner.RunTask(0, "test", noop))
	for i := 1; i <= initialCapacity; i++ {
		require.NoError(t, runner.RunTask(uint64(i), "test", noop))
	}
	storage := &runner.pendingTasks[0]

	for runner.pendingTaskNum() > 0 {
		<-runner.taskChan
		runner.processPendingTasks()
	}
	<-runner.taskChan

	require.NoError(t, runner.RunTask(uint64(initialCapacity+1), "test", noop))
	require.NoError(t, runner.RunTask(uint64(initialCapacity+2), "test", noop))
	require.Same(t, storage, &runner.pendingTasks[0])
}

Assert that task ID 6 was found before comparing timestamps.

If task ID 6 is absent, originalSubmitted remains the zero time.Time. The later require.Less assertion can then pass without validating the duplicated task's queue age. Add an explicit presence assertion, such as require.False(t, originalSubmitted.IsZero()), before comparing timestamps.
