Subject: [PATCH] Fix ancient python GIL locking bug on callback
83a7c7
 (RhBug:1632488)
83a7c7
83a7c7
Introduced in commit c7881d801745b4c156a8aa2afc17b95f97481e34 back in 2002,
83a7c7
synthesizing a python object for the callback occurs before retaking
83a7c7
the GIL lock, which is not allowed. Somehow this has managed to stay
83a7c7
latent all these years, and even now requires fairly specific conditions:
83a7c7
when the callback gets called without an associated key, such as erasures
83a7c7
or file trigger script start/stop events (in the case of RhBug:1632488),
83a7c7
when Python 3 is running in PYTHONMALLOC=debug mode,
83a7c7
it crashes with "Python memory allocator called without holding the GIL".
83a7c7
83a7c7
Simply retake the lock before any Python operations take place to fix.
