feat(runtime): phase 2 — fixed slab, per-slot packed-atomic state machine, raw cold locks
The slot table split (ROADMAP_v0.5 phase 2): slot lookup is lock-free, the
run path (yield/park/unpark/pop/resume) takes zero locks beyond the queue
mutex itself, and SharedState shrinks to { run_queue }.
Core pieces:
- src/raw_mutex.rs: hand-rolled 3-state futex mutex (Drepper mutex3),
non-poisoning; the guard enters NoPreempt, which both bounds hold times and
structurally closes the unwind-under-lock hole (the stop sentinel shares
the gate). Used for per-slot cold data, the free list, and the stack pool.
- Fixed slab Box<[Slot]> (default max_actors = 16_384, ~4 MiB, align(128)
against false sharing). Slots never move -> stable addresses, lock-free
index. Exhaustion panics loudly, naming Config::max_actors(n) as the fix.
Unbounded/segmented slab stays deferred (see ROADMAP).
- Per-slot AtomicU64 packing (generation << 32 | state), states
Vacant/Queued/Running/RunningNotified/Parked/Done. Every transition CASes
the packed word, so the generation check is atomic with the transition: no
ABA, no spurious unparks on recycled slots. RunningNotified replaces the
pending_unpark bool (the lost-wakeup window is a state, not a flag) and
uniformly fixes a LATENT LOST WAKEUP in the old Blocking-IO completion
path, which set the result for a still-Running actor without flagging it.
- Invariant: a pid is in the run queue at most once (pushes pair 1:1 with
transitions into Queued; only the scheduler does Queued->Running). This is
what makes phase 3's bounded rings sound.
- sp -> relaxed AtomicUsize; stop flag + first-resume closure as AtomicPtrs
(closure double-boxed for a thin pointer, swap-to-take): the resume path is
fully atomic.
- finalize_actor: Done published under the dying slot's cold lock (join's
check-or-register is linearized by it); link cascade locks peers ONE AT A
TIME (cold locks are leaves) with the acyclicity argument written at the
site; link() registers on the target first, then self (stale self-entries
are benign, every walk re-verifies the peer's word).
- Termination by counters: live_actors incremented in spawn pre-enqueue,
decremented at the very END of finalize after all wakeup enqueues; exit on
io_out == 0 (read before the queue lock, phase-1 ordering) && queue empty
&& live == 0. Soundness note at the site: any enqueue targets a live actor.
- spawn boxes the closure and acquires the stack BEFORE any runtime lock: no
allocation ever happens under a global lock anymore.
- with_runtime/try_with_runtime now enter NoPreempt for their full span.
This fixes a bug the rework exposed: install_actor allocated with
preemption enabled while the RUNTIME RefCell borrow was live; a timeslice
preemption there migrates the actor across OS threads and the borrow guard
increments one thread's RefCell count and decrements another's — underflow
to 'permanently mutably borrowed', cascading panics (caught by stress
suite: deterministic non-unwinding-panic abort in lost_wakeup_many_pairs).
The old code was safe only by accident; now it's structural.
- Behavior note: request_stop on a RUNNING target now marks it
RunningNotified, so its next park returns immediately to an observation
point — faster stop observation; parked/queued/done semantics unchanged.
Validated: 22 suites green in release (1/2/8-thread oversubscribed on the
1-core sandbox) and in debug with all debug_asserts live; stress suite x5.
