From 37381f381a37c185957f7037a2900995ea8bebcb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: meh Date: Sat, 1 Aug 2026 18:13:23 +0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] fix: torn stores refuse cleanly instead of dying by signal MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Pairs with pathscale/DataBucket#66 (validated rkyv access on disk reads), pulled from its branch via a crates-io patch until 0.4.1 is published. The consumer-side cost of validation is six where-clause extensions in the space-index layer: CheckBytes on the archived key types, satisfied automatically by every derived Archive type. The torn-shutdown repro is now split against two bars. The active test, test_torn_store_fails_clean_never_by_signal, holds the invariant the fix delivers: a store torn by five mid-write kills never takes a process down with a signal — every load either succeeds or refuses with an error naming corruption, proven by round-tripping the kills and scanning in-process through an unwind boundary. The full bar, test_store_survives_torn_shutdowns, stays ignored: a dangling index link into a zeroed data region still reads as a phantom row of empty fields that validates perfectly, and only crash-consistent writes (WAL, shadow paging, page checksums) can meet it. Run against agencyzero's real poisoned store, the stack now reports InvalidSubtreePointer as a clean error where it previously died of SIGBUS: the corruption cascade (each SIGBUS a mid-write death planting the next tear) is broken. --- Cargo.toml | 5 + src/persistence/space/index/mod.rs | 12 +- .../space/index/table_of_contents.rs | 10 +- src/persistence/space/index/unsized_.rs | 12 +- tests/persistence/torn_shutdown.rs | 167 +++++++++++------- 5 files changed, 141 insertions(+), 65 deletions(-) diff --git a/Cargo.toml b/Cargo.toml index d724a9d..aee150c 100644 --- a/Cargo.toml +++ b/Cargo.toml @@ -63,3 +63,8 @@ harness = false + +# Until data_bucket 0.4.1 (validated page reads, pathscale/DataBucket#66) is +# published: the fix this branch depends on, straight from its PR branch. +[patch.crates-io] +data_bucket = { git = "https://github.com/pathscale/DataBucket", branch = "fix/validated-page-reads" } diff --git a/src/persistence/space/index/mod.rs b/src/persistence/space/index/mod.rs index 23bb24f..4f35de9 100644 --- a/src/persistence/space/index/mod.rs +++ b/src/persistence/space/index/mod.rs @@ -63,7 +63,11 @@ where + Send + Sync + 'static, - ::Archived: Deserialize> + Ord + Eq + Debug, + ::Archived: Deserialize> + + Ord + + Eq + + Debug + + for<'a> rkyv::bytecheck::CheckBytes>, { pub async fn new>(index_file_path: S, space_id: SpaceId, version: u32) -> eyre::Result { let mut index_file = if !Path::new(index_file_path.as_ref()).exists() { @@ -311,7 +315,11 @@ where + Send + Sync + 'static, - ::Archived: Deserialize> + Ord + Eq + Debug, + ::Archived: Deserialize> + + Ord + + Eq + + Debug + + for<'a> rkyv::bytecheck::CheckBytes>, { async fn primary_from_table_files_path + Send>(table_path: S, version: u32) -> eyre::Result { let path = format!("{}/primary{}", table_path.as_ref(), WT_INDEX_EXTENSION); diff --git a/src/persistence/space/index/table_of_contents.rs b/src/persistence/space/index/table_of_contents.rs index a937bbe..5703c34 100644 --- a/src/persistence/space/index/table_of_contents.rs +++ b/src/persistence/space/index/table_of_contents.rs @@ -138,7 +138,10 @@ where + for<'a> Serialize, Share>, rancor::Error>> + Send + Sync, - ::Archived: Deserialize> + Ord + Eq, + ::Archived: Deserialize> + + Ord + + Eq + + for<'a> rkyv::bytecheck::CheckBytes>, { for page in &mut self.pages { persist_page(page, file).await?; @@ -153,7 +156,10 @@ where + Clone + SizeMeasurable + for<'a> Serialize, Share>, rancor::Error>>, - ::Archived: Deserialize> + Ord + Eq, + ::Archived: Deserialize> + + Ord + + Eq + + for<'a> rkyv::bytecheck::CheckBytes>, { let first_page = parse_page::, DATA_LENGTH>(file, 1).await; if let Ok(page) = first_page { diff --git a/src/persistence/space/index/unsized_.rs b/src/persistence/space/index/unsized_.rs index 597e1f4..99a2b13 100644 --- a/src/persistence/space/index/unsized_.rs +++ b/src/persistence/space/index/unsized_.rs @@ -53,7 +53,11 @@ where + Send + Sync + 'static, - ::Archived: Deserialize> + Ord + Eq + Debug, + ::Archived: Deserialize> + + Ord + + Eq + + Debug + + for<'a> rkyv::bytecheck::CheckBytes>, { pub async fn new>(index_file_path: S, space_id: SpaceId, version: u32) -> eyre::Result { let space_index = SpaceIndex::::new(index_file_path, space_id, version).await?; @@ -269,7 +273,11 @@ where + Send + Sync + 'static, - ::Archived: Deserialize> + Ord + Eq + Debug, + ::Archived: Deserialize> + + Ord + + Eq + + Debug + + for<'a> rkyv::bytecheck::CheckBytes>, { async fn primary_from_table_files_path + Send>(table_path: S, version: u32) -> eyre::Result { let path = format!("{}/primary{}", table_path.as_ref(), WT_INDEX_EXTENSION); diff --git a/tests/persistence/torn_shutdown.rs b/tests/persistence/torn_shutdown.rs index faf397e..62c5025 100644 --- a/tests/persistence/torn_shutdown.rs +++ b/tests/persistence/torn_shutdown.rs @@ -97,20 +97,12 @@ fn torn_shutdown_writer() { }); } -/// Kill a writer mid-write N times, then hold the survivors to account: the -/// store must load and scan without dying of a signal, and every row it does -/// return must be one the writers actually inserted. -/// -/// Ignored because it FAILS today, by design: it is the executable repro for -/// the open crash-consistency bug.
