Fix deadlock when malloc in Ractor lock
If we malloc when the current Ractor is locked, we can deadlock because GC requires VM lock and Ractor barrier. If another Ractor is waiting on this Ractor lock, then it will deadlock because the other Ractor will never join the barrier. For example, this script deadlocks: r = Ractor.new do loop do Ractor::Port.new end end 100000.times do |i| r.send(nil) puts i end On debug builds, it fails with this assertion error: vm_sync.c:75: Assertion Failed: vm_lock_enter:cr->sync.locked_by != rb_ractor_self(cr) On non-debug builds, we can see that it deadlocks in the debugger: Main Ractor: frame #3: 0x000000010021fdc4 miniruby`rb_native_mutex_lock(lock=<unavailable>) at thread_pthread.c:115:14 frame #4: 0x0000000100193eb8 miniruby`ractor_send0 [inlined] ractor_lock(r=<unavailable>, file=<unavailable>, line=1180) at ractor.c:73:5 frame #5: 0x0000000100193eb0 miniruby`ractor_send0 [inlined] ractor_send_basket(ec=<unavailable>, rp=0x0000000131092840, b=0x000000011c63de80, raise_on_error=true) at ractor_sync.c:1180:5 frame #6: 0x0000000100193eac miniruby`ractor_send0(ec=<unavailable>, rp=0x0000000131092840, obj=4, move=<unavailable>, raise_on_error=true) at ractor_sync.c:1211:5 Second Ractor: frame #2: 0x00000001002208d0 miniruby`rb_ractor_sched_barrier_start [inlined] rb_native_cond_wait(cond=<unavailable>, mutex=<unavailable>) at thread_pthread.c:221:13 frame #3: 0x00000001002208cc miniruby`rb_ractor_sched_barrier_start(vm=0x000000013180d600, cr=0x0000000131093460) at thread_pthread.c:1438:13 frame #4: 0x000000010028a328 miniruby`rb_vm_barrier at vm_sync.c:262:13 [artificial] frame #5: 0x00000001000dfa6c miniruby`gc_start [inlined] rb_gc_vm_barrier at gc.c:179:5 frame #6: 0x00000001000dfa68 miniruby`gc_start [inlined] gc_enter(objspace=0x000000013180fc00, event=gc_enter_event_start, lock_lev=<unavailable>) at default.c:6636:9 frame #7: 0x00000001000dfa48 miniruby`gc_start(objspace=0x000000013180fc00, reason=<unavailable>) at default.c:6361:5 frame #8: 0x00000001000e3fd8 miniruby`objspace_malloc_increase_body [inlined] garbage_collect(objspace=0x000000013180fc00, reason=512) at default.c:6341:15 frame #9: 0x00000001000e3fa4 miniruby`objspace_malloc_increase_body [inlined] garbage_collect_with_gvl(objspace=0x000000013180fc00, reason=512) at default.c:6741:16 frame #10: 0x00000001000e3f88 miniruby`objspace_malloc_increase_body(objspace=0x000000013180fc00, mem=<unavailable>, new_size=<unavailable>, old_size=<unavailable>, type=<unavailable>) at default.c:8007:13 frame #11: 0x00000001000e3c44 miniruby`rb_gc_impl_malloc [inlined] objspace_malloc_fixup(objspace=0x000000013180fc00, mem=0x000000011c700000, size=12582912) at default.c:8085:5 frame #12: 0x00000001000e3c30 miniruby`rb_gc_impl_malloc(objspace_ptr=0x000000013180fc00, size=12582912) at default.c:8182:12 frame #13: 0x00000001000d4584 miniruby`ruby_xmalloc [inlined] ruby_xmalloc_body(size=<unavailable>) at gc.c:5128:12 frame #14: 0x00000001000d4568 miniruby`ruby_xmalloc(size=<unavailable>) at gc.c:5118:34 frame #15: 0x00000001001eb184 miniruby`rb_st_init_existing_table_with_size(tab=0x000000011c2b4b40, type=<unavailable>, size=<unavailable>) at st.c:559:39 frame #16: 0x00000001001ebc74 miniruby`rebuild_table_if_necessary [inlined] rb_st_init_table_with_size(type=0x00000001004f4a78, size=524287) at st.c:585:5 frame #17: 0x00000001001ebc5c miniruby`rebuild_table_if_necessary [inlined] rebuild_table(tab=0x000000013108e2f0) at st.c:753:19 frame #18: 0x00000001001ebbfc miniruby`rebuild_table_if_necessary(tab=0x000000013108e2f0) at st.c:1125:9 frame #19: 0x00000001001eba08 miniruby`rb_st_insert(tab=0x000000013108e2f0, key=262144, value=4767566624) at st.c:1143:5 frame #20: 0x0000000100194b84 miniruby`ractor_port_initialzie [inlined] ractor_add_port(r=0x0000000131093460, id=262144) at ractor_sync.c:399:9 frame #21: 0x0000000100194b58 miniruby`ractor_port_initialzie [inlined] ractor_port_init(rpv=4750065560, r=0x0000000131093460) at ractor_sync.c:87:5 frame #22: 0x0000000100194b34 miniruby`ractor_port_initialzie(self=4750065560) at ractor_sync.c:103:12
