Subject: [PATCH] Fix ancient python GIL locking bug on callback
0b2921
 (RhBug:1632488)
0b2921
0b2921
Introduced in commit c7881d801745b4c156a8aa2afc17b95f97481e34 back in 2002,
0b2921
synthesizing a python object for the callback occurs before retaking
0b2921
the GIL lock, which is not allowed. Somehow this has managed to stay
0b2921
latent all these years, and even now requires fairly specific conditions:
0b2921
when the callback gets called without an associated key, such as erasures
0b2921
or file trigger script start/stop events (in the case of RhBug:1632488),
0b2921
when Python 3 is running in PYTHONMALLOC=debug mode,
0b2921
it crashes with "Python memory allocator called without holding the GIL".
0b2921
0b2921
Simply retake the lock before any Python operations take place to fix.
