Summary

  • Port concurrent.futures from CPython 3.14.6, including InterpreterPoolExecutor, bounded Executor.map(buffersize=...), and ProcessPoolExecutor.terminate_workers() / kill_workers().
  • Fix subinterpreter shutdown hanging when a worker thread runs finalizers or weakref callbacks. Track the thread performing finalization separately from the process main thread.
  • Restore script-defined functions against a cached, isolated __main__ namespace. Preserve worker globals between calls without replacing the interpreter's actual __main__ module during unpickling.

Performance

Windows 11 x64

Mapping 2,000 inputs of 16 KiB with one blocked worker; median of three runs:

At submission Unbounded map buffersize=32
Inputs consumed 2,000 32
Process private-memory increase 14.5 MiB 0.07 MiB

Related changes

Automatic-GC request ownership and generation-counter reset races between interpreters are fixed separately in #8902.

Known limitations

Explicit import __main__ inside an unpickling callback sees the interpreter's actual module. CPython temporarily exposes its isolated module during its fallback.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved transfer of serialized values between isolated interpreters when they depend on definitions from a script’s main namespace.
    • Fixed a threaded interpreter shutdown issue that could leave a worker thread waiting indefinitely.
    • Improved isolation of script globals across interpreter pool workers.

CodeRabbit blocks several paths by default. You can override this behavior by explicitly including those paths in the path filters. For example, including **/dist/** will override the default block on the dist directory, by removing the pattern from both the lists.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes add script-path metadata to pickled cross-interpreter values and retry selected unpickling failures with an isolated script namespace. Threaded interpreter finalization now records the finalizing thread and uses its identifier in signal checks.

Changes

Script globals during cross-interpreter unpickling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Capture the originating script path
crates/vm/src/vm/crossinterp.rs
PickledData stores pickle bytes and an optional string path from __main__.__file__. Serialization continues if the path is unavailable or has another type.
Retry unpickling with isolated script globals
crates/vm/src/vm/crossinterp.rs, extra_tests/snippets/stdlib_subinterpreters.py
A matching __main__ missing-attribute error triggers a retry when a saved path exists. The retry resolves __main__ classes from a cached namespace loaded with runpy.run_path. Added tests check isolated script globals in queued calls and executor workers.

Threaded interpreter finalization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Track and check the finalizing thread
crates/vm/src/vm/mod.rs, crates/vm/src/vm/interpreter.rs, extra_tests/snippets/stdlib_subinterpreters.py
Threaded interpreter state records the finalizing thread identifier. During finalization, check_signals hangs threads with a different identifier. A bounded subprocess test closes an interpreter from a worker thread after creating an unreachable reference cycle.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 889e0

Cross-interpreter calls from different scripts can fail or use the wrong script’s globals when they share a target interpreter. This is a bounded case that should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 889e0

A receiving interpreter can now run a recorded script while restoring an object. It also caches one script namespace for later calls, even when those calls originate from another script. The retry is narrow, but the trust of recorded paths and the effect of sharing an interpreter across scripts remain uncertain.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: The target caches one isolated main namespace without associating it with the saved script path. If the same target receives payloads from different scripts, later missing-class retries can fail against the first script's namespace or resolve a colliding name to its class.
  • Medium · security · inferred: A narrowly triggered reconstruction retry executes the producer's saved script path in the target before the custom class-lookup audit. The changed routine has no explicit path validation. Whether this crosses an effective authority boundary depends on path trust and target privileges that are not established here.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The new script execution and namespace cache operate in the selected target interpreter. The supplied evidence does not establish a separate tenant, service, or privilege boundary, or authority beyond the existing callable and pickle call path.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — If producers with different script paths call the same target, the first successful fallback can determine which classes later main names resolve to. Distinct names can fail; colliding names can resolve to the first script's class.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The code first attempts ordinary pickle loading and limits retry to a matching main missing-attribute error. It audits custom class lookup but shows no explicit validation of the saved path before run_path executes it.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Locking serializes first cache initialization, and a failed run_path does not populate the cache. Script side effects may nevertheless occur before a failed retry returns the original unpickling error; a successful cache entry persists for subsequent retries.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Bind the cached namespace to the payload's script provenance, or reject a fallback whose path differs from the cached path.
  • proposed — Define the trusted-path and target-authority policy for script replay, and enforce or audit that policy before run_path where required.

mainfile rather than using one global _cached_main value. Look up the
path-specific entry both before and after acquiring the module lock, then store
the newly loaded namespace under mainfile while preserving the cache in
_interpreters state.
