commit 56d0105a50809f7e272f3d0d1f3d2b25eca2d498 Author: Damian Johnson atagar@torproject.org Date: Tue Jun 14 09:13:20 2011 -0700
fix: race condition for multiple status changes
When an event caused multiple changes in Tor's status we'd run into a race condition and often pick the wrong final state. For instance, if a sighup caused Tor to crash (for instance via a bad torrc) then we'd trigger both a reset and closed event.
This enqueues events to keep the order in which they occured, expands locks to include them, and introduces a small delay to coles events if they occure in quick succession like this. --- src/util/torTools.py | 77 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------ 1 files changed, 58 insertions(+), 19 deletions(-)
