A rabbit checks the wrapper’s hold,
Then guards each claim from stale and old.
The blocks stay safe when threads run fast,
And teardown waits till locks have passed.
The workers test each path they roam,
Then hop through fields and head back home.

Indeed, they overlap on the adapter pinning: |
A worker hands a JS array or object to native code that keeps reading it from four background threads while the worker is terminated. A read that passed IsolateWrapper::IsValid() and then queued on the isolate's Locker behind ~Runtime runs after the teardown removed the isolate's Caches: Caches::Get() returns an empty stand-in, and GetContext() dereferences its null context (SEGV in -[ArrayAdapter objectAtIndex:] under ASan). The same wait can also outlast Isolate::Dispose, which ~Runtime does not defer for a thread blocked on the Locker.

…tries The collection adapters, the extended classes' synthesized methods and the JS property accessors installed on native classes all checked IsolateWrapper::IsValid() and then waited for the isolate's Locker. A thread that passed the check could get the Locker only after ~Runtime had removed the isolate's Caches, or after Isolate::Dispose, and then read a null context or a freed isolate. These entries now follow ArgConverter::MethodCallback: pin the gate, bail when the pin is refused or the isolate is invalid, take the Locker, and check validity again under it. - ArrayAdapter, DictionaryAdapter and its key enumerators: count, objectAtIndex:, objectForKey:, keyEnumerator, nextObject and allObjects return 0/nil once the isolate is gone. - Adapter -dealloc (Array, Dictionary, NSData): like the JS block dispose, it detaches its claim under the Locker until the gate closes, even after the isolate is invalidated, because the teardown can still reach the claim through the JS object. Once the gate is closed it frees the claim without the Locker. - Extended class +initialize: skipped once the isolate is gone. - Extended class retain/release: pin only on the retain counts that toggle GC protection. The foreign-thread path posts through NativeScriptPlatform::LookupEventLoop and a runloop captured at __extends time instead of reading the Runtime, which the teardown frees. The protect/unprotect closures take the Locker before they read Instances. - PropertyCallbackContext carries an IsolateWrapper, and the property getter/setter callbacks of ClassBuilder and MetadataBuilder pin like MethodCallback: a getter returns a zeroed value and a setter does nothing once the isolate is gone.
The collection adapters (DictionaryAdapter, ArrayAdapter, NSDataAdapter) and the JS block dispose helper take their isolate's Locker on whatever thread drops the last native reference. When that thread is inside another isolate, it waits for one isolate's Locker while holding the other's, and the two can deadlock: - the main thread, inside a JS task, calls a native API that invokes a callback registered by a worker, and waits for the worker's Locker; - the worker's thread is collecting, and a finalizer releases an object holding an adapter or a block that belongs to the main isolate, whose teardown waits for the main isolate's Locker. A notification posted from the main isolate with a JS object as userInfo, observed by a block registered in a worker, is enough: the worker ends up with the last reference to each notification. IsolateWrapper::HandOffTeardown posts such a teardown to the owning isolate's loop when the calling thread is inside another isolate and does not hold the owner's Locker. If the loop drops the entry while shutting down, the entry runs it; if the loop refuses the post, a dispatch queue runs it with no isolate lock held. Adapters: -dealloc hands itself off and returns without freeing anything; the object stays allocated until it runs again on its own isolate. The claim an adapter attaches to its JS object holds the adapter weakly, so marshalling the object either takes a reference to a live adapter or, once its last release has started, detaches the dead claim and builds a fresh adapter that attaches its own. Only the adapter frees its claim: retiring the JS object, including __releaseNativeCounterpart, no longer releases the adapter. Blocks: libclosure frees a block as soon as its dispose helper returns, so the helper first clears the address cached in the function's BlockWrapper, under a mutex that reuse of the cached block also takes, and only then hands off the cleanup that needs the isolate. The ns:worker_threads specs get the 30 second startup bound the other worker suites use; the utility-priority worker did not always start within the default 5 seconds on CI.

While an adapter's teardown waits on its isolate's loop, the claim stays on the JS object and loads as nil. interop.bufferFromData asserted on it, and interop.handleof released a null reference. GetValueOrReport detaches such a claim and reports the object as released, as marshalling it would, and handleof returns no handle for it.

An app can hang for good when the main thread calls a native API that runs a callback registered by a worker while that worker is collecting garbage. Posting a notification with a JS object as
userInfo, observed by a block registered in a worker, is enough. The main thread and the worker thread each end up waiting for the other isolate'sLocker.The main thread holds its own
Lockerfor the JS task that posts, and waits for the worker's to run the observer. The worker is left holding each notification, so its finalizers drop the last reference to objects that belong to the main isolate. The collection adapters take their isolate'sLockerin-dealloc, and the JS block dispose helper does the same, on whatever thread gets there, so the worker waits for the main isolate while holding its own lock inside the collection.IsolateWrapper::HandOffTeardownnow posts such a teardown to the owning isolate's loop when the calling thread is inside another isolate and does not hold the owner'sLocker. An adapter's-deallochands itself off and returns without freeing anything, then runs again on its own isolate. The block dispose helper first clears the address cached in the function'sBlockWrapper, since libclosure frees the block as soon as the helper returns, and hands off only the cleanup that needs the isolate.Handing off leaves the adapter attached to its JS object for a while, which exposed two older problems that are fixed here too. The claim on the JS object now holds the adapter weakly, so marshalling the object again either takes a reference to a live adapter, or detaches the dead claim and builds a fresh adapter that attaches its own, instead of handing out one whose last release has started. And only the adapter frees its claim:
__releaseNativeCounterparton a plain object that had been marshalled used to release the adapter out from under the native container still holding it. Outside marshalling,interop.handleofreturns no handle for such a dead claim, and the entry points that report released objects,interop.bufferFromDataamong them, report it as released.Concurrency
Locker, and the replacement attaches its own, so native code keeps getting one adapter per object. The dying adapter finds another claim in the slot, leaves it, and frees only its own.BlockWrapper::RetainBlockand the helper's clear take the same mutex, so the reuse either retains a live block or sees no block and creates a new one.IsTornDown()under theLockerbefore touching handles, as fix(runtime): pin the isolate gate at the remaining foreign-thread entries #506 does for the inline path.The new specs in
GCFinalizerTests.jscover adapters (fresh and shared objects, a Proxy, an array, a typed array, each checked for identity once native code holds it) and blocks released by a worker's finalizer, adapters read while their worker shuts down, a dead claim read before its teardown runs, and__releaseNativeCounterparton a marshalled object. Onmainthe adapter and block specs hang and the last one crashes. I first ran into the deadlock in the existing "no crash during or after runtime teardown on iOS" spec by simulating memory warnings on the simulator while the suite ran: since #507 each warning starts a collection in every isolate, which makes the overlap easy to hit. The suite passes plain and under ASan.Unrelated to the fix: the
ns:worker_threadsspecs get the 30 second startup bound the other worker suites use. The utility-priority worker did not always start within the default 5 seconds on CI, here and on other branches.This is rebased on #506, which pins the isolate in the adapters' methods and
-dealloc. The first two commits are that PR's, replayed onto currentmain; the last two are this fix.Summary by CodeRabbit
