The fasteners lib in version 0.15.0 removed the
threading.current_thread workaround for eventlet[1] because eventlet
seemed to fixed the current_thread issues tracked in [2]. However the
fix for [2] only fixed half of the problem. The threading.current_thread
call works if it is called from thread created by eventlet.spawn.
However if the thread is created with eventlet.spawn_n then
threading.current_thread is still broken and returns the ID of the
python native thread.
The fasteners' ReaderWriterLock depends heavily on
threading.current_thread to decide which thread holds a lock and to
allow re-entry of that thread. This leads to the situation that
multiple threads created from spawn_n could take the same
ReaderWriterLock at the same time.
The fair internal lock in oslo.concurrency uses ReaderWriterLock and
as a result such lock is broken for threads created with spawn_n.
Note that this issue was raised with eventlet in [3] when the nova team
detected it via a direct usage of ReaderWriterLock in the nova test
code. As [3] did not lead to a solution in eventlet nova implemented a
nova local fix for the test code in [4].
However now we detected that oslo.concurrency is affected by this issue
as well.
This patch restores the workaround that was removed by [1].
Note that a fasteners issue [5] also opened to restore the
workaround[1].
