Summary
get_mut()acquiring a read lock (viareload()) before requesting the write lock, which prevented tokio'sRwLockwrite-fairness from protecting the writerget_mut()now acquires the write lock first, then reloads under that lock via a newreload_under_write_lock()helperProblem
DatasetConsistencyWrapperuses atokio::sync::RwLock, which is write-fair: once a writer is waiting, no new readers are admitted. However,get_mut()calledreload()before requesting the write lock, andreload()itself acquires a read lock to check the current version. This meant the writer was competing as a reader during the reload phase, so tokio never saw a pending writer and its fairness guarantee never kicked in.Under high read concurrency, writers could starve indefinitely; each time the writer's
reload()read lock was released, new readers would slip in before the subsequent.write().awaitcould be served.Fix
Restructure
get_mut()to acquire the write lock first, then perform the reload under that exclusive lock. This ensures tokio's write-fairness blocks new readers as soon as a writer callsget_mut(). The read path (get()) is unchanged and still uses the optimistic read-lock-first strategy.
