Subject: [PATCH libgpiod] gpiosim: fix data race that corrupts heap
Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2023 15:14:29 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230626-datarace-v1-1-b78e2abb493b@linaro.org> (raw)

Hit this while seeing some heap corruptions when running cargo test on
the Rust bindings.

Took a bit to track down since I first used address sanitizers, but with
the thread sanitizer it becomes obvious immediately (output simplified):

    ==================

    SUMMARY: ThreadSanitizer: data race /libgpiod/tests/gpiosim/gpiosim.c:141:17 in id_free
    ==================

This eventually can either lead to leaks or double free's that corrupt
the heap and lead to crashes.

The issue got introduced when a previously local variable that did not
require protection was turned into a global variable.
