Summary

Prevent native stack overflows when releasing deep detached frame chains returned by sys._current_frames(). These frames can remain untracked by GC while owning references to their callers.

Apply the trashcan recursion guard to traversable payloads regardless of GC tracking, preserving the fast path for untracked scalar objects.

This addresses the finding in #8963 independently of that PR. The related guard in #8939 covered acyclic containers, but did not cover detached frames.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved cleanup of deep thread stack snapshots, reducing the risk of delays or failures when releasing them.
    • Improved handling of objects with traversable contents during deallocation, helping prevent problems when those objects are released.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

default_dealloc now applies the trashcan guard to tracked objects and objects whose payload type supports traversal. A threading test checks disposal of a worker’s frame from a 5,000-level recursive call chain.

Changes

Trashcan Guard for Traversable Payloads

Layer / File(s) Summary
Guard traversable payload deallocation
crates/vm/src/object/core.rs, extra_tests/snippets/stdlib_threading_current_frames.py		 default_dealloc enters and exits the trashcan for tracked objects or payload types with traversal support. The test retrieves and deletes a worker’s current frame at the bottom of a deep recursive stack, then checks that the observer and worker finish. Cleanup restores the recursion limit and thread stack size.

The guard appears to cover detached frames, but the new test would not catch the targeted failure returning. Make it release the snapshot after the worker exits before merging.

- Around line 100-143: Update release_deep_snapshot so the observer retains the
captured frame snapshot until after the worker exits: signal when inspect has
captured it, release and join the worker, then allow inspect to delete the frame
and signal disposal. Keep cleanup safe by setting the worker-release and
observer-completion events in the finally block as well.
