This change vendors in the global_compiler_lock that is used to protect the core compiler machinery for future CUDA-specific changes.

We also need to hold the Numba compiler lock, because we'll likely have a route into Numba somewhere through types and / or the data model that doesn't hold or acquire the Numba compiler lock.

We're using numba-cuda: as the prefix for events from Numba-CUDA. See

In what circumstance would this ever be False?

We don't use this, and it feels a little bit of a dangerous API to me, in that the name sounds like a function that will block until the global compiler lock is held (I'd probably have named it assert_global_compiler_lock() or similar). Can we remove it?

Suggested change
def require_global_compiler_lock():
"""Sentry that checks the global_compiler_lock is acquired."""
# Use assert to allow turning off this check
assert global_compiler_lock.is_locked()

Thanks for the updates - I think we should simplify things with a few more changes:

  • Remove require_global_compiler_lock() as suggested on the diff.
  • This means we can also get rid of the is_locked() and _is_owned() methods on both kinds of lock, as they will no longer be needed.
  • The _DualCompilerLock seems to have no reason to check the truthiness of self._numba_lock - should it just assume it to be true and remove the conditionals?

<!--

Thank you for contributing to numba-cuda :)

Here are some guidelines to help the review process go smoothly.

1. Please write a description in this text box of the changes that are
being
   made.

2. Please ensure that you have written units tests for the changes
made/features
   added.

3. If you are closing an issue please use one of the automatic closing
words as
noted here:
https://help.github.com/articles/closing-issues-using-keywords/

4. If your pull request is not ready for review but you want to make use
of the
continuous integration testing facilities please label it with `[WIP]`.

5. If your pull request is ready to be reviewed without requiring
additional
work on top of it, then remove the `[WIP]` label (if present) and
replace
it with `[REVIEW]`. If assistance is required to complete the
functionality,
for example when the C/C++ code of a feature is complete but Python
bindings
are still required, then add the label `[HELP-REQ]` so that others can
triage
and assist. The additional changes then can be implemented on top of the
same PR. If the assistance is done by members of the rapidsAI team, then
no
additional actions are required by the creator of the original PR for
this,
otherwise the original author of the PR needs to give permission to the
person(s) assisting to commit to their personal fork of the project. If
that
doesn't happen then a new PR based on the code of the original PR can be
opened by the person assisting, which then will be the PR that will be
   merged.

6. Once all work has been done and review has taken place please do not
add
features or make changes out of the scope of those requested by the
reviewer
(doing this just add delays as already reviewed code ends up having to
be
re-reviewed/it is hard to tell what is new etc!). Further, please do not
rebase your branch on main/force push/rewrite history, doing any of
these
   causes the context of any comments made by reviewers to be lost. If
   conflicts occur against main they should be resolved by merging main
   into the branch used for making the pull request.

Many thanks in advance for your cooperation!
