From b6c8e0f08383d09d7c4ef066e35be0e3486a427f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicolas Bouvrette Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2026 23:53:17 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 1/9] Fix crash in getcurrent/greenlet-construction during early Py_FinalizeEx MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit While regression-testing greenlet 3.2.5 (backport of PR #495) against Python 3.9.7 under uWSGI, we discovered a second, independent crash path that was NOT fixed by PR #495. Root cause ---------- On Python < 3.11, Py_FinalizeEx calls call_py_exitfuncs() BEFORE setting _PyRuntimeState.finalizing (which backs _Py_IsFinalizing()). If any exit function — or code triggered by one — calls greenlet.getcurrent(), greenlet.greenlet(...), or the C API PyGreenlet_GetCurrent(), the non-const get_current()/borrow_current() methods run clear_deleteme_list(). That helper copies a std::vector through PythonAllocator (PyMem_Malloc), and during this early finalization phase the allocator state can be partially torn down, causing a SIGSEGV. Fix --- Add ThreadStateCreator::readonly_state(), which returns a const ThreadState& and therefore selects the const overloads of get_current() / borrow_current() — these simply return the current greenlet pointer without touching the deleteme list. The deleteme cleanup is safely deferred to the next greenlet switch or thread-state teardown. Because the fix removes a side-effect from simple accessors, it is applied unconditionally (all Python versions), not just < 3.11.

Use std::swap instead of vector copy to avoid PythonAllocator (PyMem_Malloc) allocation that crashes during early Py_FinalizeEx on Python < 3.11. 2. Save/restore the pending exception around the cleanup loop so that PyErr_WriteUnraisable/PyErr_Clear inside the loop cannot swallow an unrelated exception (e.g. one set by throw()). Revert mod_getcurrent and PyGreenlet_GetCurrent to use the non-const path so that getcurrent() continues to trigger cross-thread cleanup.

Switched to std::malloc/std::free. 2. deleteme vector used PythonAllocator (PyMem_Malloc) — same pool corruption issue.

An atexit handler registered at module init (LIFO = runs first) now sets a shutdown flag checked by getcurrent(), PyGreenlet_GetCurrent(), and clear_deleteme_list().

Add a two-line macro that maps the public name to the private one on < 3.13, so all call sites use the standard name. Remove the macro when < 3.13 is dropped.
