The previous version quite reliably causes worker deadlocks within 10
minutes running:
# 100 times:
- import_playbook: integration/async/runner_one_job.yml
# 100 times:
- import_playbook: integration/module_utils/adjacent_to_playbook.yml
via .ci/soak/mitogen.sh with PLAYBOOK= set to the above playbook.
Attaching to the worker with gdb reveals it in an instruction
immediately following a futex() call, which likely returned EINTR due to
attaching gdb. Examining the pthread_mutex_t state reveals it to be
completely unlocked.
pthread_mutex_t on Linux should have zero trouble living in shmem, so
it's not clear how this deadlock is happening. Meanwhile POSIX
semaphores are explicitly designed for cross-process use and have a
completely different internal implementation, so try those instead. 1
hour of soaking reveals no deadlock.
This is about avoiding managing a lockable temporary file on disk to
contain our counter, and somehow communicating a reference to it into
subprocesses (despite the subprocess module closing inherited fds, etc),
somehow deleting it reliably at exit, and somehow avoiding concurrent
Ansible runs stepping on the same file. For now ctypes is still less
pain.
A final possibility would be to abandon a shared counter and instead
pick a CPU based on the hash of e.g. the new child's process ID. That
would likely balance equally well, and might be worth exploring when
making this code work on BSD.

issue #586: update Changelog.
docs: update Changelog.
[security] core: undirectional routing wasn't respected in some cases
docs: tidy up Select.all()
issue #612: update Changelog.
When creating a context using Router.method(via=somechild),
unidirectional mode was set on the new child correctly, however if the
child were to call Router.method(), due to a typing mistake the new
child would start without it.
This doesn't impact the Ansible extension, as only forked tasks are
started directly by children, and they are not responsible for routing
messages.
Add test so it can't happen again.

The previous method of spinning up a transient thread to import the
service pool in a child context could deadlock with use of the importer
on the main thread. Therefore wake the main thread to handle import for
us, and use a regular Receiver to buffer messages to the stub, which is
inherited rather than replaced by the real service pool.
