What broke

The account store and fast scheduler could acquire their locks in opposite orders:

request dispatch
FastScheduler.mu
  -> account filter
  -> ResolveProxyForAccount
  -> Store.mu.RLock
account add/remove
Store.mu.Lock
  -> FastScheduler.UpdateMany/Remove
  -> FastScheduler.mu

Once both paths overlapped, neither side could make progress.

There was a second deadlock in the fallback/lazy/affinity paths. Those paths ran account filters while already holding Store.mu.RLock. The egress filter can call ResolveProxyForAccount, which tries to take the same read lock again. Go's RWMutex blocks new readers after a writer starts waiting, so the goroutine can end up waiting on its own nested RLock while the writer waits for the outer read lock to be released.

This is not a slow-path issue. Under load it can freeze all requests that need the account store indefinitely. /v1 and authenticated account-management APIs stop responding, while static files and lightweight health checks may continue to return 200. That makes the process look healthy and prevents automatic recovery; even graceful shutdown can time out behind the blocked requests.

Fix

  • Serialize account-set mutations with a dedicated accountMutationMu.
  • Keep Store.mu limited to updating the account slice and ID index.
  • Update FastScheduler and RefreshScheduler only after releasing Store.mu.
  • Take an account pointer snapshot before running filters in fallback, lazy, candidate-check, and fresh-affinity selection paths.
  • Never execute an account filter while holding the global store read lock.

Account pointers remain valid after the snapshot; removal only removes them from future snapshots. Existing per-account synchronization still protects mutable account state.

Tests

Added deterministic regression coverage for both lock classes:

  • add vs. fast-scheduler filter lock inversion
  • single-account removal vs. scheduler lock inversion
  • batch removal vs. scheduler lock inversion
  • candidate check with a queued store writer
  • fallback scheduler with a queued store writer
  • lazy scheduler with a queued store writer
  • fresh-affinity selection with a queued store writer

The filter tests deadlock on the previous implementation and complete after this change.

go test ./...
go test -race ./auth -run 'Test(AccountFiltersRunOutsideStoreReadLock|AddAccountsDoesNotInvertStoreAndSchedulerLocks|RemoveAccountDoesNotInvertStoreAndSchedulerLocks|RemoveAccountsDoesNotInvertStoreAndSchedulerLocks)' -count=50

This should be treated as a correctness and availability fix. A health endpoint returning 200 does not make the process healthy when every authenticated request that touches the account pool is permanently blocked.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The store now uses account snapshots for selection and a dedicated mutex for account mutations. Scheduler updates occur after releasing the store lock. New tests cover lock ordering, nested reads, and account-selection paths.

Changes

Account store concurrency

Layer / File(s) Summary
Snapshot-based account selection
auth/store.go
Regular, lazy, affinity, and dispatch-candidate selection now iterate over Accounts() snapshots without holding the store read lock during account checks.
Serialized account mutations
auth/store.go
Account additions and removals use accountMutationMu. Account preparation occurs outside Store.mu, and scheduler updates occur after unlocking.
Lock-order regression coverage
auth/store_lock_order_test.go
Concurrency tests cover account mutations, nested store reads, candidate checks, fallback scheduling, lazy scheduling, and affinity-spread selection.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 92d26

The change prevents account-store and scheduler lock deadlocks, but settings updates can still race account publication and leave newly added accounts with stale behavior; removed accounts may also remain retained longer than necessary. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up on these bounded issues.

Serialize settings updates with account mutations

AddAccounts snapshots ignoreUsageLimit and maxConcurrency before publishing added. SetIgnoreUsageLimitStatus, SetMaxConcurrency, and SetGroupBaseConcurrencyOverride do not hold accountMutationMu. If an updater runs before publication, it misses the new account, which then keeps stale effective settings and scheduler state. Hold accountMutationMu across each update and recomputation.

72-75: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

The 20 ms sleep does not guarantee the intended interleaving.

The test relies on the mutation goroutine reaching Store.mu within 20 ms. On a loaded CI runner or under -race, the goroutine may still be unscheduled when store.mu.Unlock() runs. The test then passes without exercising the queued-writer ordering, so a regression can pass unnoticed. The 1 second timeouts have the same sensitivity in the other direction.

Consider raising the timeouts and documenting that the sleep is a best-effort widening of the window, not a synchronization point.

5514-5523: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Consider reusing one account snapshot across retry attempts.

s.Accounts() runs inside the 16-attempt loop, so each failed acquisition allocates a new copy of the whole account slice. nextExcludingWithFilterLazy (Line 5687) has the same pattern. If per-attempt freshness is not required, take the snapshot once before the loop and refresh it only when an attempt fails for a store-state reason.

Guard the channel close inside the filter callbacks. Both helpers close a channel on the first line of an AccountFilter. Neither production path guarantees the filter runs exactly once: FastScheduler.AcquireExcludingWithFilter retries the whole scan when scanRangeLocked reports a stale entry, and the store selection paths call the filter once per account. A second invocation closes an already closed channel and panics the test binary.

  • auth/store_lock_order_test.go#L45-L51: wrap close(filterEntered) in a sync.Once so repeated scheduler scans cannot panic.
  • auth/store_lock_order_test.go#L152-L157: apply the same sync.Once guard, so the helper stays correct if a fixture ever contains more than one account.
🐛 Proposed guard
 	filterEntered := make(chan struct{})
 	allowStoreRead := make(chan struct{})
 	acquireDone := make(chan struct{})
+	var enterOnce sync.Once
 	go func() {
 		defer close(acquireDone)
 		scheduler.AcquireExcludingWithFilter(0, nil, func(*Account) bool {
-			close(filterEntered)
+			enterOnce.Do(func() { close(filterEntered) })
 			<-allowStoreRead

Add "sync" to the import block.

Clear unused entries in the compacted backing array

Accounts() and EnabledGrokAccounts() return new slices. No Store method returns s.accounts directly.

After s.accounts = kept, clear kept[len(kept):cap(kept)]. Otherwise removed *Account values remain reachable and can delay garbage collection.
