PortScannerPortRetirementTests "A single late-burst kick still retires a stopped listener" failed in the #15488 validation run (shard 2 of run 36749306412): didRetirePort was false after its 12 s wait. The scanner is right; the test's setup can miss its own trigger on a loaded host. Part of #15488.

Why it failed

The test stops the fake listener and sends the late kick from inside the fifth lsof call. That assumes every burst timer gets its own scan, but the scanner doesn't promise that:

Once a scan takes about 0.3 s, the burst runs three or four scans, pays off the kick and goes idle. The fifth call never happens, the listener never stops, and the test waits out 12 s. The failing run took 12.675 s, and the next test in the suite ran 2.5 times slower than its usual 1.0–1.1 s. That runner, cmux9s, was running five jobs at the time. The test passed in the 84 other runs of its current form found in main and full-ci logs.

Change

  • A second kick from inside the second lsof call owes the third to fifth scans, so the fifth call always happens.
  • With one scan per timer, that kick is paid off by the fifth scan. So the late kick still arrives with nothing owed and one scan left in the burst, as before.
  • The fake's stop hook becomes a general per-call hook, perform(atLsofInvocation:stopsListening:_:).
  • The failure message now reports how many lsof calls ran.

The assertion and the 12 s bound are unchanged.

Evidence

Both runs make every fake lsof call take 400 ms, as on a loaded host. They use diag refs over main's 4df2a40 app products (run 36748094366) with app-host-test-rerun.yml:

result
Red, current test (diag/15488-portscan-red, run 36761557344, cmux8s) failed 3 of 3, PortScannerTests.swift:1418:9: Expectation failed: didRetirePort after 12.48 s each, the CI failure
Green, this change (diag/15488-portscan-green, run 36761562215, cmux7s) passed 5 of 5 in 4.04–4.07 s each

No local build or test run; this Mac does not compile cmux.

#15353 and #10277 rewrite this fake around a kernel lookup and keep the same trigger, so whichever lands second needs the same extra kick.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Expanded automated coverage of port-listening lifecycle behavior when stop and restart events overlap. The updated scenarios check how listeners respond to actions occurring at different points during lookup, including when listening stops before an action runs. Failure reporting also provides more context about the lookup count.

"A single late-burst kick still retires a stopped listener" stops the
fake listener and sends the late kick from inside the fifth lsof call.
That assumes every burst timer gets its own scan. A kick owes only three
scans, and timers that fire while a scan is running merge into one
rescan, so once scans take about 0.3 s the burst runs three or four
scans, pays off the kick and goes idle. The fifth call never comes, the
listener never stops and the test waits out its 12 s. That happened on a
loaded cmux9s in #15488's validation run, where the next test also ran
2.5 times slower than usual.

A second kick from inside the second lsof call now owes the third to
fifth scans, so the fifth call always happens. With one scan per timer
that kick is paid off by the fifth scan, so the late kick still arrives
with nothing owed and one scan left in the burst, as before. The fake's
stop hook becomes a general per-call hook, and the failure message
reports how many lsof calls ran.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The port scanner test fixture now supports actions scheduled for specific listener lookups, with optional listening shutdown. The late-burst test schedules kicks during the second and fifth lookups and includes the lookup count in its retirement failure message.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Synchronize the invocation-2 kick before relying on invocation 5.

runner.perform(atLsofInvocation: 2) waits only for the action to run. The action dispatches scanner.kick asynchronously. Later timer callbacks can therefore run while the panel scan is still in flight, and beginPanelScan() coalesces those callbacks. The test does not guarantee that the fifth lsof invocation occurs, so its retirement wait can time out before the invocation-5 stop and kick run.

Add a completion boundary for the scan started by the invocation-2 action before the test depends on invocation 5.

Pre-merge review (correctness first, subagent): approve, no defects.

  • The one-scan-left case is still tested. With one scan per timer, the kick from lsof call 2 is paid off by scans 3–5. At call 5 nothing is owed and one burst timer is left, as before. With f6b382a reverted, the test still fails: scan 6 clears the late kick, the burst ends with nothing pending, and the port gets one miss.
  • The fifth call always happens. The kick is queued inside call 2, before scan 2's completion runs on the serial queue, and scan 3 can't start until finishPanelScan (PortScanner.swift:302, 604). In 3,000 simulated runs at up to 1.4 s per scan, nothing failed.
  • Known limit: at about 0.8–1.5 s per scan, the kick moves the late case elsewhere in the burst, so the reverted scanner can pass. The original test had the same kind of band at 184–274 ms. Closing it needs an injected burst scheduler in PortScanner.
  • The labeled-tuple dictionary, the @Sendable closure and the await read of lsofInvocationCount have no Swift 6.0 issues.

#10277 replaced the fake runner's lsof stand-in with a stand-in for the
kernel port lookup, keeping the late-burst test's fifth-call trigger and
so its race. The conflict in cmuxTests/PortScannerTests.swift resolves to
main's version with this branch's change ported onto it: a general
per-lookup hook, perform(atListenerLookup:stopsListening:_:), a kick from
inside the second port lookup, and the lookup count in the failure
message.
#15353 rewrote the late-burst test's fixture again, now reading the
process table from the kernel too, and kept the fifth-lookup trigger and
so its race. cmuxTests/PortScannerTests.swift resolves to main's version
with this branch's change ported onto it: the per-lookup hook
perform(atListenerLookup:stopsListening:_:), a kick from inside the
second port lookup, and the lookup count in the failure message.
