Summary

Convert 7 of 8 RLock instances to plain Lock. All verified to use only flat (non-recursive) acquisition patterns:

Lock File Hot path?
Connection.lock connection.py Yes — every message send/receive
Cluster._lock cluster.py No — connect/shutdown only
ControlConnection._lock cluster.py No — schema/topology refresh
ControlConnection._reconnection_lock cluster.py No — reconnection only
Metadata._hosts_lock metadata.py No — host add/remove
TokenMap._rebuild_lock metadata.py No — keyspace rebuild
Host.lock pool.py No — reconnection handler
cqlengine.Connection.lazy_connect_lock cqlengine/connection.py No — lazy connect

Session._lock is kept as RLock because run_add_or_renew_pool() uses manual release()/acquire() inside a with block, which requires re-entrant semantics.

Benchmark

Lock type Per-cycle (with stmt) Overhead
RLock 92.9 ns baseline
Lock 81.1 ns -14%

Tests

  • 9 focused unit tests verifying lock types and operations (metadata add/update/remove, host reconnection handler)
  • test_update_host_sequential_lock specifically validates that Metadata.update_host() works with plain Lock (sequential, not nested acquisition)
  • Full unit test suite passes (654 passed)

V2 Changes

Fixed: deadlock in Cluster.connect() failure path

Cluster.connect() acquires self._lock, and on control connection failure the original code called self.shutdown() inside the with self._lock: block. Since shutdown() also acquires self._lock, this would deadlock with a plain Lock (any network failure during initial connection would trigger it).

Fix: Restructured connect() to save the exception and call shutdown() after the with self._lock: block exits, avoiding the re-entrant acquisition.

Additional cleanup:

  • Removed unused RLock import from cassandra/connection.py
  • Added TestClusterConnectFailureNoDeadlock test that verifies connect() calls shutdown() and re-raises without deadlocking when using a plain Lock

Tests: 683 unit tests pass (660 core + 23 IO), 0 failures.

Follow-up: Skip lock acquisition when no orphaned requests in process_msg

Commit: 2e5a6c6

What changed

In process_msg(), the orphaned request check acquires a lock on every response to check self.orphaned_request_ids. Since orphaned requests only exist after timeouts (a rare event), the set is almost always empty.

Now we check if self.orphaned_request_ids: (set truthiness) before acquiring the lock. Empty set → skip the lock entirely.

Thread safety

The unlocked truthiness check on a set is safe under the GIL (atomic read of internal size field). Worst case:

  • False positive (set non-empty but stream_id not in it): enters lock block, re-checks, safe
  • False negative (set just got an entry): orphaned response processed normally — acceptable

Benchmark results (Python 3.14, 2M iterations)

Scenario Before After Change
Empty orphaned set (common) 80.6 ns 23.2 ns -57.4 ns (3.47x)
Non-empty set (rare) 79.7 ns 87.8 ns +8.1 ns overhead

Testing

  • 617 unit tests passed (10.4s)
  • No regressions

Convert 7 of 8 RLock instances to plain Lock. All verified to use
only flat (non-recursive) acquisition patterns:
- Connection.lock (hot path: every message send/receive)
- Cluster._lock (connect/shutdown)
- ControlConnection._lock and _reconnection_lock
- Metadata._hosts_lock and TokenMap._rebuild_lock
- Host.lock and cqlengine Connection.lazy_connect_lock

Session._lock is kept as RLock because run_add_or_renew_pool() uses
manual release/acquire inside a 'with' block.

Benchmark: RLock 'with' stmt is ~14% slower than plain Lock.
Check orphaned_request_ids truthiness before acquiring the lock.  Since
orphaned requests are rare (only on timeouts), the set is almost always
empty.  Skipping the lock in the common case saves ~57 ns per response.

The unlocked truthiness check on a set is thread-safe under the GIL.
Worst case (false positive): we enter the lock block and re-check, which
is correct.  Worst case (false negative): an orphaned response is
processed normally — acceptable behavior.

Benchmark (2M iters, Python 3.14):
  Empty set (common):     80.6 -> 23.2 ns (3.47x, -57.4 ns/response)
  Non-empty set (rare):   79.7 -> 87.8 ns (+8.1 ns overhead)

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The driver replaces several RLock instances with Lock. Cluster.connect() records terminal failures, releases its lock before shutdown, and re-raises the original exception. Response handling performs request removal and orphan cleanup atomically. Tests cover lock behavior, connection failures, timeout cleanup, and orphan races. Two micro-benchmarks measure lock and orphan-request paths.

Rebased onto current master + full re-entrancy re-verification

Rebased perf/rlock-to-lock onto origin/master (was 66 commits behind, including the DRIVER-153 SCYLLA_USE_METADATA_ID work, the shard-aware SSL fix, and the ProtocolFeatures serialization changes). One trivial conflict in cassandra/pool.py (both sides touched the import block: master added import uuid, this branch dropped RLock from the threading import) — resolved by keeping both. No functional changes were needed.

Given how much ResponseFuture/Cluster/connection-handling code has changed on master recently, I re-did the re-entrancy analysis from scratch against the current state of every file this PR touches, not just the original diff. Findings below, per lock.

1. Connection.lock (cassandra/connection.py)

Acquisition sites on current master: defunct(), error_all_requests(), wait_for_responses() (busy-wait send loop), process_msg() (both the new orphan fast-path and the stream-id-return-on-KeyError/finally paths), remove_continuous_paging_session(), set_keyspace_async(); plus per-reactor close() in all six cassandra/io/*.py backends, and external call sites in pool.py (borrow_connection, return_connection) and cluster.py ResponseFuture (_on_timeout, _borrow_control_connection, _release_control_connection_request, _handle_control_connection_response).
Every one of these critical sections is flat: the response/user callback (cb(response) in process_msg, callback(self, None) in set_keyspace_async, cb(response) in _handle_control_connection_response, etc.) is always invoked after the with self.lock: block has exited, never inside it. defunct() calls self.close() outside its own lock block, and close() in every reactor implementation only holds the lock for the is_closed flag check/set, never around the callback-firing/socket-teardown code. No path re-enters self.lock while already holding it. Safe as plain Lock.

2. Cluster._lock (cassandra/cluster.py)

Only two acquisition sites: connect() and shutdown(). This PR's own diff already fixes the one real re-entrancy hazard here: the original code called self.shutdown() (which acquires self._lock) from inside connect()'s with self._lock: block on control-connection failure — that would deadlock with a plain Lock. The fix defers shutdown()/re-raise until after the lock is released (see the connect_exc pattern). Verified this still holds against current master: control_connection.connect() (called inside the lock) does not call back into Cluster.connect()/Cluster.shutdown() synchronously anywhere in its current implementation. Safe.

3. ControlConnection._lock / _reconnection_lock

_lock acquired in _set_new_connection() and shutdown(); _reconnection_lock in _reconnect(), _get_and_set_reconnection_handler(), and shutdown(). All flat. shutdown() acquires _reconnection_lock and _lock in two separate, sequential with blocks (never nested). Push-event handlers (_handle_topology_change/_handle_status_change/_handle_schema_change/_handle_client_routes_change) dispatch via scheduler.schedule_unique(...) — i.e. asynchronously, never synchronously from inside a locked section — so no callback re-entry risk. Safe.

4. Metadata._hosts_lock

Acquisition sites: add_or_return_host, remove_host, remove_host_by_host_id, update_host, get_host, get_host_by_host_id, all_hosts, all_hosts_items, plus Cluster.add_host() in cluster.py. update_host() calls add_or_return_host() (acquire+release) and then acquires the lock again for the endpoint-map update — sequential, not nested. Cluster.add_host() does the same pattern (checks under the lock, releases, then calls add_or_return_host separately). This is exactly what tests/unit/test_rlock_to_lock.py::test_update_host_sequential_lock exercises. Safe.

5. TokenMap._rebuild_lock

Single acquisition site (rebuild_keyspace). get_replicas() calls rebuild_keyspace() but never while holding the lock itself. No nesting anywhere. Safe.

6. Host.lock

Acquisition sites: Host.get_and_set_reconnection_handler(), and in cluster.py's on_up/_on_up_future_completed/on_down. All critical sections are short flag/state updates. Notably, in on_up(), future.add_done_callback(callback) (which could fire synchronously if the future is already done) is registered outside any with host.lock: block, and the callback itself (_on_up_future_completed) only touches a separate, freshly-created futures_lock, acquiring host.lock only in its own finally clause after that lock is already released. listener.on_up(host) (user callback) also runs outside any lock. Safe.

7. cqlengine.connection.Connection.lazy_connect_lock

Single acquisition site (handle_lazy_connect). It sets self.lazy_connect = False before calling self.setup() while holding the lock; setup() never calls handle_lazy_connect() back. Even in a hypothetical reentrant call, handle_lazy_connect() checks if not self.lazy_connect: return before touching the lock, so a nested call would short-circuit before ever touching lazy_connect_lock. Safe.

Not converted (unchanged, confirmed still correct to leave as-is)

Session._lock remains an RLock. Session.add_or_renew_pool()'s inner run_add_or_renew_pool() does a manual self._lock.release() / self._lock.acquire() inside a with self._lock: block while waiting on a keyspace-change event — confirmed this pattern is unchanged on current master. (Manual release-then-reacquire on the same thread doesn't strictly require RLock semantics, since it isn't a nested acquire — but leaving it as RLock here is the conservative, zero-risk choice and out of scope for this PR, so it's untouched.)

Testing

  • Full tests/unit/ (730 passed, 88 skipped) run with pytest-timeout (--timeout=60 --timeout-method=thread) — no hangs, no timeouts, ~21s total.
  • Targeted re-run of test_rlock_to_lock.py, test_connection.py, test_cluster.py, test_control_connection.py, test_host_connection_pool.py, test_metadata.py, test_response_future.py, and tests/unit/cqlengine/ (217 passed, 30 skipped) — clean.
  • tests/unit/io/ (per-reactor connection tests) — 10 passed, 42 skipped (server-dependent tests skip without a live cluster), no failures.
  • No lock was reverted back to RLock — every conversion in this PR checks out against current master.

Branch has been force-pushed (rebased, no new commits) to mykaul:perf/rlock-to-lock. Still a draft pending final sign-off.

Improve runtime performance by replacing re-entrant locks (RLock) with standard locks (Lock) where recursion isn’t needed, and add a small hot-path optimization to reduce unnecessary lock acquisitions.

Changes:

  • Replace multiple RLock instances with Lock across connection/cluster/metadata/pool/cqlengine.
  • Adjust Cluster.connect() failure path to avoid deadlock with non-reentrant locking.
  • Add unit tests and micro-benchmarks to validate lock types and measure overhead.

cassandra/cluster.py:1842

  • Releasing _lock before marking the cluster shut down breaks the previous atomic failure transition. A second thread can enter connect() in this gap, retry setup, and even create a session that the first thread immediately shuts down. Preserve the is_shutdown transition under this same lock, then perform cleanup outside it via a non-locking helper so concurrent callers cannot observe a connectable cluster after setup failure.
        if connect_exc is not None:
            # shutdown() acquires self._lock, so must be called after
            # releasing it above to avoid deadlock.
            self.shutdown()

benchmarks/micro/bench_orphan_lock_skip.py:48

  • This benchmark measures the superseded unlocked truthiness pre-check, not the implementation now used by process_msg (which only checks the orphan set after _requests.pop() raises). Its reported “new” timing is therefore unrelated to the code being merged and benchmarks the race-prone approach removed earlier in this PR. Update it to model the current try/except path or remove it.
    # New: check set first, skip lock if empty
    def new_check():
        nonlocal in_flight
        if orphaned_set:
            with lock:

cassandra/pool.py:24

  • uuid is not referenced anywhere in cassandra/pool.py; this newly added import is unrelated to the lock conversion and should be removed.
import uuid

cassandra/connection.py:1425

  • This still misses the interleaving where _on_timeout pops _requests, pauses before acquiring connection.lock, and this handler acquires the lock first. The ID is then returned without orphan bookkeeping; afterward _on_timeout adds a stale orphan entry and leaves in_flight elevated, even though the response has already arrived. The timeout path must make removing the request and publishing its orphan state atomic under the same lock (and add a regression test for this ordering).
                    with self.lock:
                        if stream_id in self.orphaned_request_ids:
                            self.in_flight -= 1
                            self.orphaned_request_ids.remove(stream_id)
                            need_notify_of_release = True
                        self.request_ids.append(stream_id)

Release the real Cluster resources in both tests.

Both tests build a real Cluster and then patch shutdown. Cluster.__init__ starts a ThreadPoolExecutor and a _Scheduler, and connect() calls _register_cluster_shutdown(self) before the failure. Because shutdown is mocked, those threads and the global registration survive the test. Repeated runs leak threads in the unit suite.

Capture the real shutdown and register it as cleanup.

Make timeout removal and orphan marking atomic.

ResponseFuture._on_timeout removes _requests[stream_id] before it adds the orphan marker under connection.lock. If process_msg gets KeyError and acquires the lock first, Line 1420 is false. It returns, and the timeout then adds an orphan that no response can clean up. This leaks in_flight, the request ID, and the orphan-release notification. Move the timeout-side request removal into the same lock section as orphan marking. Add a regression test that forces this ordering.

Assert orphan insertion under connection.lock.

The test verifies only _requests.pop(). If _on_timeout() unlocks before orphaned_request_ids.add(), this test still passes. Instrument orphaned_request_ids.add() to assert that connection.lock is locked.

Use a Python 3.9-compatible lock check.

pyproject.toml supports Python 3.9, but threading.RLock.locked() exists only in Python 3.14. Replace this assertion with a compatible ownership check, or use Lock() when reentrancy is not required.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Remove the unsupported connect frame assertion.

CI shows that the re-raised traceback does not contain connect on every tested platform. Lines 227-233 already verify preservation of the original failure traceback. This assertion fails the wheel test suite.
