Topic: wasmtime / PR #6973 adapter: eliminate State::with_mut

Wasmtime GitHub notifications bot (Sep 06 2023 at 21:45):

pchickey opened PR #6973 from bytecodealliance:pch/adapter_eliminate_state_with_mut to bytecodealliance:main:

There is no need to get exclusive access to State:

• All mutation of State and Descriptors is handled internally with cells. descriptors_mut does not need exclusive access to State, and eliminating that constraint means we can trivially shorten all uses of with_mut to with.
• recursive access to State is required for implementing the cabi_realloc functions. These functions do not need exclusive access to State, but if another call has already taken an exclusive borrow, realloc will trap.

I recently found a bug that would occur if path_open is the first call into the adapter, the State will be borrowed exclusively and descriptors_mut will initialize the descriptors by calling out to get the preopens. Because preopens are a list, the runtime needs to call cabi_realloc to return them, and that call will fail where cabi_import_realloc tries to borrow the exclusively- borrowed State.
