I think I've ran into some sort deadlocking issue with
ttlcache
cache recently, I haven't been able to pinpoint it exactly yet but upon cursory look atRange
method it seems to me its usage of mutex isn't 100% correct,in particular it seems we might call the
item != c.items.lru.Back().Next(); item = item.Next()
part offor
loop withoutc.items.mu
read-locked - which seems would result into thread-unsafe read (not sure if readingitem.Next()
without mutex held is fine or not but readingc.items.lru.Back()
probably isn't)same reasoning applies to
RangeBackwards
I guess - but I haven't changed it yet in this PR (waiting for initial review first)
