Robert Hensing c3b942e0fc Don't hold interruptCallbacks lock during interrupt handling This changes the representation of the interrupt callback list to be safe to use during interrupt handling. Holding a lock while executing arbitrary functions is something to avoid in general, because of the risk of deadlock. Such a deadlock occurs in https://github.com/NixOS/nix/issues/3294 where ~CurlDownloader tries to deregister its interrupt callback. This happens during what seems to be a triggerInterrupt() by the daemon connection's MonitorFdHup thread. This bit I can not confirm based on the stack trace though; it's based on reading the code, so no absolute certainty, but a smoking gun nonetheless.		2022-02-06 13:53:28 +01:00
