eldritch horrors ed6b3165ea worker: process timeouts first, and exclusively
check goals for timeouts first, and their activity fds only if no
timeout has occurred. checking for timeouts *after* activity sets
us up for assertion failures by running multiple build completion
notifiers, the first of which will kill/reap the the goal process
and consuming the Pid instance. when the second notifier attempts
to do the same it will core dump with an assertion failure in Pid
and take down not only the single goal, but the entire daemon and
all goals it was building. luckily this is rare in practice since
it requires a build to both finish and time out at the same time.

writing a test for this is not feasible due to how much it relies
on scheduling to actually trigger the underlying bug, but on idle
machines it can usually be triggered by running multiple sleeping
builds with timeout set to the sleep duration and `--keep-going`:

    nix-build --timeout 10 --builders '' --keep-going -E '
      with import <nixpkgs> {};
      builtins.genList
        (i: runCommand "foo-${toString i}" {} "sleep 10")
        100
    '

Lix

Lix is an implementation of Nix, a powerful package management system for Linux and other Unix systems that makes package management reliable and reproducible.

Read more about us at https://lix.systems.

Installation

On Linux and macOS the easiest way to install Nix is to run the following shell command (as a user other than root):

$ curl -sSf -L https://install.lix.systems/lix | sh -s -- install

For systems that already have Nix installed, such as NixOS systems, read our install page

Building And Developing

See our Hacking guide in our manual for instruction on how to to set up a development environment and build Lix from source.
