From 21488a8ee6317c898a1d61b2d91eaf0d772fa9c0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: yuwenhuisama <7414913+yuwenhuisama@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2026 23:30:47 +0800 Subject: [PATCH 01/14] Fix flaky macOS CI: serialize xUnit test assembly The macOS test job crashed (~50% of runs) with SIGSEGV (signal 11) during parallel test execution. Root cause is the known macOS CoreCLR signal-based GC thread-suspension hazard (dotnet/runtime#44498, #102887; xamarin-macios#13962): when a GC suspends a managed thread parked inside a native mruby reverse-P/Invoke callback, the activation signal can land at a fatal point and abort the test host. mruby 4.0 widened the native-callback window (MRB_TT_CDATA teardown) so it began failing where 3.3 never did. The crash needs TWO coincident conditions: a GC in flight AND a thread parked in a native mruby callback. xUnit's default per-class parallelism kept several threads in native callbacks simultaneously, multiplying that coincidence into the flake. Serializing the assembly via [assembly: CollectionBehavior(DisableTestParallelization = true, MaxParallelThreads = 1)] removes the only trigger we control. Verified on a macOS arm64 host: under DOTNET_GCStress=0x4 the parallel suite crashed on the very first test (0 completed) while serial survived 7-65x longer; under normal GC the serialized suite is consistently green (8/8). Windows runs 83/83. The clrgc/gcConcurrent=0 env vars are kept as defense-in-depth for the residual single-thread window. The attribute file lives at the test project root (not Properties/, which mruby-wrapper/.gitignore blanket-ignores) so it is actually tracked and ships. --- .github/workflows/main.yml | 22 +++++++++--- .../MRuby.UnitTest/XunitAssemblyInfo.cs | 36 +++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 54 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) create mode 100644 mruby-wrapper/MRuby.UnitTest/XunitAssemblyInfo.cs diff --git a/.github/workflows/main.yml b/.github/workflows/main.yml index 87321dd..900b3ff 100644 --- a/.github/workflows/main.yml +++ b/.github/workflows/main.yml @@ -75,10 +75,24 @@ jobs: # (e.g. mrb_close running data-object dfree callbacks) and another thread triggers # GC, the activation signal can land at a fatal point and PROCAbort()s the test # host.

Serialization removed the test-thread-vs-test-thread collision but not process-level GC suspension: an unrelated infrastructure thread (vstest IPC, the blame-crash collector, the finalizer) can still trigger a GC that signal-suspends the lone test thread while it is parked inside mrb_close's reverse-P/Invoke dfree callback. The 200-cycle storm maximizes that residual window. Per Oracle's analysis this is a macOS/.NET 8 test-host stress limit (CoreCLR signal-based GC suspension; fixed in .NET 9), not a library defect - the same rationale already applied to the multithreaded GC-storm tests. So: - Split the test: the 200-cycle storm becomes [WindowsOnlyFact] (TestStaticMappingsAreStableUnderHeavySequentialOpenCloseStorm); a light 5-cycle all-platform [Fact] keeps cross-platform coverage of the same StateMapper/RbDataClassMapping invariants via a shared RunSequentialOpenCloseCycle helper. - Drop --blame-crash from the macOS test step: its dump collector adds signal-handling machinery to the exact failure surface and writes a multi-GB core per abort. Linux keeps it for diagnostics. - Keep assembly serialization and the clrgc/gcConcurrent=0 env vars as the primary fix + defense-in-depth. - Document the macOS .NET 8 best-effort limitation in the README (prefer reusing an RbState or running on .NET 9+).

CollectionBehavior(DisableTestParallelization) governs collection EXECUTION parallelism but cannot remove the framework's own startup threads, so no xUnit/GC config makes this deterministic. Per Oracle's analysis there is no CoreCLR config that makes dotnet test safe here. The crash is a macOS test-HOST limitation, not a library defect: Linux runs the identical CoreCLR signal-based-GC + native reverse-callback design and is 100% green across every CI run (incl. --blame-crash), and the crash reproduces on both .NET 8 and .NET 10. So CI now gates the managed xUnit suite on Linux + Windows; the macOS job still compiles mruby, builds the universal .dylib, compiles the .NET projects, and uploads the dylib that the Windows pack job consumes (build-windows still 'needs' this job, so a macOS native/build break still blocks packaging). Removed the macOS dotnet test step + its env block; scoped the crash-dump upload to Linux; added a guard comment so the flaky step is not re-added. Updated README to describe the Linux+Windows test gating.

Root-caused by local repro on Apple Silicon: the crash only occurs when `dotnet test` runs with `--blame-crash` / `--blame-hang-timeout`. Those diagnostic collectors hook the same POSIX signal machinery CoreCLR uses to suspend threads, and induce the abort they were meant to capture. Empirical isolation (Apple M3, exact CI suite): - plain `dotnet test` : 0 / 77+ crashes (8-core and 3-core) - `--blame-crash` alone : 9/12, 7/16 crashes - `--blame-hang-timeout` alone : 7/12 crashes - x64/Rosetta, no blame flags : 0/30 (rejects the arch theory) - main's original parallel suite + all-platform 200-cycle storm, no blame flags, 3-core : 0/40 crashes So the library code was never at fault. Revert the misdiagnosis-driven changes and just remove the blame flags: - main.yml: drop --blame-* from the Linux step; restore the macOS `dotnet test` step (full xUnit coverage on macOS again). - RbConcurrencyTest.cs: restore the all-platform storm [Fact] (the Windows-only gating was unnecessary). - XunitAssemblyInfo.cs: remove the forced serialization. - README.md: drop the inaccurate "macOS best-effort" warning.
