appropriate before returning the error. Preserve the existing list insertion
path for successful initialization and ensure every failure path leaves mutex
unlocked.
- Around line 30-47: Update maybe_widen_alloc_race_window to validate the entire
HAMI_ALLOC_RACE_WINDOW_US string, rejecting trailing characters and strtoul

failure result instead of accepting the partial parse. In the rounds
configuration handling at test/test_concurrent_oom_race.c (line 242), reject
rounds <= 0 so --expect-fixed cannot pass without executing the concurrent loop.
- Around line 196-201: Update finish_round to reset st->ready before setting
st->go = 0, then add the required barrier so the reset is visible before
children observe the release. Preserve the existing waits and completion
synchronization while ensuring no child increment can be overwritten.
- Around line 100-104: Update wait_until to use a bounded deadline rather than
spinning indefinitely, and emit a diagnostic failure when the expected value is
not reached before timeout. Ensure callers such as child initialization and
finish_round terminate promptly when a child exits early or a round cannot
complete.
- Around line 134-148: Move the previous-allocation release from the start of
the child round loop into the round teardown after the child signals completion
and reaches the `ready` barrier, coordinating with the parent’s `finish_round`
flow. Ensure both children free their round allocation before the next `go`
signal so each round starts with no outstanding allocations, while preserving
the existing allocation result reporting.
- Line 79: Update the declaration of n in the concurrent OOM race test to use
uint64_t instead of unsigned long long, and include <stdint.h> so the
fixed-width type is available; preserve compatibility with the strtoull return

I updated the code based on coderabbitai Bot's review, and re-ran the test suite. I verified everything with the 30-round race test (./test/run_concurrent_oom_race.sh --expect-fixed), and all rounds were correctly serialized without any dual-success race hits (race_hits=0, one_ok=30, both_fail=0). |

I've rebased onto the current While rebasing, I noticed that Thank you so much for taking the time to review this. I really appreciate it. |

Two processes may race when calling cuMemAlloc through the libvgpu hook.
Currently, shared usage can be read using the seqlock, but the check-and-add operation is not protected by one lock across processes. Also, as I understand it, the pthread_mutex only protects request races between threads in the same process.
Because of this, I thought that when allocations from multiple processes race, both processes might pass the OOM check and get CUDA_SUCCESS even if the total allocation exceeds the limit. So I tried to reproduce this case.
I used a barrier to send concurrent allocation requests for several rounds. In the first few rounds, only one allocation succeeded as expected. However, in round 4, both allocations succeeded and the race was reproduced.
For the fix, I tried a reserve-then-alloc approach because I did not want to keep cuMemAlloc itself inside the lock for performance reasons.
When the OOM check passes, the requested size is first added to usage as a reservation while holding lock_shrreg, and then the lock is released before the actual allocation. If the allocation fails, the reservation is rolled back.
After this change, I tested the same race for 30 rounds.
There was no dual success in all 30 rounds.
I also ran the container build from CONTRIBUTING.md with make build-in-docker (nvidia/cuda:13.3.0-cudnn-devel-ubi8). The build passed, including libvgpu.so and test_concurrent_oom_race.
In this PR, I only changed the synchronous memory allocation paths: cuMemAlloc, cuMemAllocManaged, cuMemAllocPitch, and cuMemCreate. The asynchronous path is still unchanged.
If this approach looks reasonable, I would like to handle the asynchronous path in a follow-up.
Note: I used Cursor and ChatGPT as supporting tools for parts of the coding and English translation. I reviewed the generated suggestions and supervised the overall implementation and testing myself.
