# Test deadlock resolution with parallel process groups.
# It's fairly hard to get parallel worker processes to block on locks,
# since generally they don't want any locks their leader didn't already
# take. We cheat like mad here by making a function that takes a lock,
# and is incorrectly marked parallel-safe so that it can execute in a worker.
# Note that we explicitly override any global settings of isolation level
# or debug_parallel_query, to ensure we're testing what we intend to.
# Otherwise, this is morally equivalent to deadlock-soft.spec:
# Four-process deadlock with two hard edges and two soft edges.
# d2 waits for e1 (soft edge), e1 waits for d1 (hard edge),
# d1 waits for e2 (soft edge), e2 waits for d2 (hard edge).
# The deadlock detector resolves the deadlock by reversing the d1-e2 edge,
# unblocking d1.
# However ... it's not actually that well-defined whether the deadlock
# detector will prefer to unblock d1 or d2. It depends on which backend
# is first to run DeadLockCheck after the deadlock condition is created:
# that backend will search outwards from its own wait condition, and will
# first find a loop involving the *other* lock. We encourage that to be
# one of the d2a1 parallel workers, which will therefore unblock d1a2
# workers, by setting a shorter deadlock_timeout in session d2. But on
# slow machines, one or more d1a2 workers may not yet have reached their
# lock waits, so that they're not unblocked by the first DeadLockCheck.
# The next DeadLockCheck may choose to unblock the d2a1 workers instead,
# which would allow d2a1 to complete before d1a2, causing the test to
# freeze up because isolationtester isn't expecting that completion order.
# (In effect, we have an undetectable deadlock because d2 is waiting for
# d1's completion, but on the client side.) To fix this, introduce an
# additional lock (advisory lock 3), which is initially taken by d1 and
# then d2a1 will wait for it after completing the main part of the test.
# In this way, the deadlock detector can see that d1 must be completed
# first, regardless of timing.
