[Bug] Fix hang when shrinking BlockAllocationTaskScheduler.max_workers - #1074
Conversation
The shrink path spliced the shutdown sentinel directly into the future_queue's internal deque (queue.insert(0, ...)) instead of using put(), which skips queue.Queue's not_empty notification. If a worker was already blocked in future_queue.get() waiting for the next task, it never woke up, so the worker was never told to shut down and the busy-wait loop in the setter spun forever. Add put_front(), a front-inserting equivalent of Queue.put() that notifies waiting consumers, and use it in the setter. Add regression tests covering put_front() directly and the scheduler's shrink path with a worker blocked on an empty queue. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Neither test proves that the consumer has entered
Condition.wait(). If the consumer starts after insertion,get()receives the item without waiting, so both tests can pass when notification is missing.Signal immediately before the consumer calls
q.not_empty.wait()andfuture_queue.not_empty.wait(). Wait for each signal before inserting the item or starting the shrink thread. Keep each signal inside the condition's locked section so insertion must wait for the consumer to release the mutex.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Release the consumer when the regression assertion fails.
If put_front() fails to notify the waiting consumer, both timed joins leave the consumer blocked. join(timeout=5) does not stop a thread. This non-daemon consumer then prevents the test process from exiting. Wake the consumer with ordinary q.put() before the cleanup join. (docs.python.org)

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.
