📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe PR adds fallible allocation and size validation, improves buffer alias handling, propagates marshal permissions, and updates concurrency, recursion, frame, callback, and container behavior. It also adds regression tests for these changes. ChangesRuntime safety and error handling
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The PR prevents many crashes and hangs, but crafted marshal input can still abort the interpreter during large tuple or list construction, while other bounded correctness and termination concerns remain open. Merge should wait for the allocation path and unresolved high-impact issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted. Possibly related PRs

9293-9300: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winCorrect fix; consider deduplicating the guard.
Checking
cls.fast_issubclass(&member_descr.common.typ)before caching the slot offset is correct: the offset is only meaningful for instances laid out per the descriptor's defining type, and the specializedLoadAttrSlot/StoreAttrSlotinstructions only re-validate the type version at execution time, not this relationship.The three-condition guard (
downcast_ref::<PyMemberDescriptor>(),MemberGetter::Offset(offset),cls.fast_issubclass(...)) is duplicated verbatim betweenspecialize_load_attrandspecialize_store_attr. Extracting it into a shared helper would reduce the risk that a future change to this check lands in only one of the two paths.As per coding guidelines: "When branches differ only in a value but share common logic, extract the differing value and call the common logic once."

Preserve a counted recursion fallback on targets without a native stack probe, and make the regression test enforce it. with_recursion now relies solely on check_c_stack_overflow; on miri and musl that probe is compiled out, so deep frameless recursion can overflow the native stack instead of raising RecursionError. Keep a counted bound for those targets. In extra_tests/snippets/builtin_hash.py, fail if neither RecursionError nor a validated successful result occurs, and correct the comment that claims CPython runs this RustPython-only block.

…t offset
The LOAD_ATTR/STORE_ATTR specializations cached the slot offset of any member
descriptor found on the owner's type and then guarded the specialized
instruction on the type version alone, while descr_get()/descr_set() check on
every access that the instance belongs to the type the descriptor was defined
for. A descriptor taken from a wider class and bound to a narrower one read
past the instance's slot array once the cache warmed up:
class Big:
__slots__ = ("a0", "a1", "a2", "a3", "a4", "a5", "a6", "a7")
class Narrow:
__slots__ = ("z",)
Narrow.x = Big.__dict__["a7"]
o = Narrow()
for _ in range(1000):
try: o.x
except TypeError: pass
# index out of bounds: the len is 1 but the index is 7 (object/core.rs)
A class with no slots at all reached the ext_ref().unwrap() on the same line.

recv() and recvfrom() handed the caller's bufsize straight to
Vec::with_capacity, so an unreachable size aborted the process through
handle_alloc_error before any syscall was made:
socket.socket().recv(2**62)
# memory allocation of 4611686018427387904 bytes failed -> SIGABRT
try_reserve_exact reports MemoryError instead, which is what CPython raises.

Both wrappers re-enter Python without pushing a frame, so nothing counted the
nesting when the special method named the object it was looked up on:
class C: pass
c = C(); C.__call__ = c
c() # native stack overflow, SIGSEGV
class D: pass
d = D(); D.__get__ = d; D.x = d
d.x # the same, through descr_get
with_recursion around the two dispatches raises RecursionError instead, the
way Py_EnterRecursiveCall bounds a tp_call dispatch. It costs about 5% on a
__call__ dispatch and 3% on a __get__ dispatch through these wrappers.

ParamSpecArgs and ParamSpecKwargs fell back to a Rust `{:?}` of __origin__ when
it had no __name__. That walks the object graph natively through Debug for
PyInner, where no recursion guard sits, so a single repr() of a deeply nested
chain overflowed the native stack:
a = object()
for _ in range(30000):
a = typing.ParamSpecArgs(a)
repr(a) # SIGSEGV
The origin is formatted with its repr now, which is guarded, and a ParamSpec
origin is recognized by its type rather than by carrying a __name__.

Three places kept a lock while running code that can reach the same object, so
a callback that touched it wedged the process:
_asyncio.future_add_to_awaited_by(fut, waiter) # waiter.__hash__ adds again
select.select(elements, [], [], 0) # fileno() clears `elements`
select.poll().poll(1000) # SIGALRM handler registers
The future's awaited-by field is read and written under its lock but the set is
built outside it, the list extraction re-reads the list on each step the way
map_iterable_object() does, and poll() waits on a copy of its descriptors. All
three ran forever before and now finish the way they do on CPython.

…ectly
cast() accepted any struct format and any shape element. A zero-size
format ('0s') and a 0 in the shape both reached a division by zero;
cast() now takes only a native single character format, optionally
'@'-prefixed, and shape elements that are ints greater than zero.
A view with a negative stride starts at its last item, so the bytes it
exported began there and its own offsets walked off the front of them.
Such a view now exports the whole underlying buffer with `start` folded
into the descriptor's offsets, and zip_eq() hands over a whole run only

with_recursion() checked the limit sys.setrecursionlimit() sets and incremented the same counter that pushing a frame does, so a guard on a native dispatch spent what Python code had left to call with, and did so where sys._getframe() cannot see it: test.support.get_recursion_available() reported frames that were no longer there. Py_EnterRecursiveCall bounds the native stack instead, which is a separate budget, and the C stack check with_recursion already performs is that bound. The snippets pinning the guarded paths nest deep enough to reach the stack rather than the frame limit. Assisted-by: Claude
A size taken from Python went straight into an infallible allocation in
several places, so the process aborted through handle_alloc_error before
any exception could be raised:
- str/bytes/bytearray center(), ljust(), rjust() and zfill() reserved
the padded result for the caller's width
- expandtabs() built its runs of spaces from a tabsize of any width;
the argument is a C int, and a wider one does not fit
- Buffered{Reader,Writer,Random} allocated buffer_size, and read(),
read1() and FileIO.read() their read size
- bytes(n) and bytearray(n) allocated n
- pbkdf2_hmac() allocated the derived key length, which is a C int
Each of these now reports MemoryError, or OverflowError where the
argument does not fit the type it is declared with.
new_zeroed_bytes() leaves the zeroing to the allocator, so a large
request costs the pages that are written to rather than all of them.

allow_code was answered by walking the whole result a second time, with no depth counter and no record of what it had already seen, so a value that referred back to itself or nested deeply enough ran off the native stack. w_object() and r_object() answer it where the code object is, inside the walk that already bounds its depth and resolves references. A container length is read the way r_long() reads one: it is signed, so a length with the top bit set is out of range rather than four billion items to reserve room for. load() no longer holds a borrow of the buffer read() returned across the seek() it makes afterwards. Assisted-by: Claude
Several places held a lock or a borrow of an object across a call back into Python, so a callback that touched the same object waited on a lock its own caller was holding: - memoryview slice assignment read a source overlapping the destination, and __setitem__ converted the value while holding the write borrow - BytesIO.readinto() read into a buffer viewing the same BytesIO - array.__setitem__ converted the value under the array's write lock, and mmap.write() read a source viewing the same map - bytearray.join() and bytearray.__mod__ drove Python with the bytearray borrowed - array and bytearray answered "is this resizable" after taking the write lock, though an export is exactly a borrow someone else holds A TextIOWrapper cookie now has to name a position inside what was decoded in characters as well as in bytes; only the byte offset was checked, and the character count is what read() and tell() index with. Assisted-by: Claude
The snippet asserted "key length is too great.", which pbkdf2_hmac() only reaches once the length has been converted; where a C long is narrower than the length asked for, the conversion fails first and says so instead. Both are OverflowError, which is what the case is about. test_support.test_get_recursion_depth passes now that a native recursion guard no longer spends frames get_recursion_depth() cannot see. Assisted-by: Claude
set_current_frame() casts the `Py<FrameObject>` it publishes straight to `*mut FrameObject`, so ThreadSlot::top_frame holds the object's base. sys._current_frames() read it back through Py::from_payload_ptr(), which subtracts the payload offset from what it is given. The reference it took therefore incremented, and later decremented, a word 48 bytes ahead of the frame -- inside the object allocated before it, whose OnceLock state word sits exactly there for two frames adjacent in the size class. The neighbour then read an initialized-looking cold pointer that had never been written and locked whatever the uninitialized word addressed, so the thread that owned it crashed rather than the one that read. The slot now holds `*mut Py<FrameObject>`, which is what both sides mean. A thread parked in a call has no FrameObject for its topmost frame, so top_frame is null there and the reader takes the materialize path instead: test_sys.test_current_frames never reaches the branch. The snippet takes _current_frames() against threads that are running. Assisted-by: Claude
do_suspend() published SUSPENDED first and only then re-read `requested`, restoring itself to ATTACHED if the stop had ended in the meantime. That made a thread the second writer able to leave SUSPENDED, so a stop whose completion check had already observed the thread parked could be undone behind the requester's back: worker CAS ATTACHED -> SUSPENDED requester all_non_requester_suspended() -> true, world_stopped = true requester start_the_world(): requested = false, then walks the registry worker reads requested == false, stores ATTACHED With the store landing inside that walk the debug assertion in start_the_world fires; with the walk already past the slot, a following stop force-parks the thread DETACHED -> SUSPENDED, counts it as stopped, and the store then puts it back to ATTACHED with the world declared stopped and the thread running bytecode. `requested` is set in init_thread_countdown() and cleared in start_the_world() with the registry held, and start_the_world() keeps holding it while releasing every SUSPENDED thread. Taking the registry around the check and the transition therefore makes the two orders the only ones possible: park before that release pass and be woken by it, or find the request already withdrawn and stay ATTACHED. The requester is left as the only writer that takes a thread out of SUSPENDED, and the self-restore is gone. suspend_if_needed() takes the VirtualMachine to reach the registry. Assisted-by: Claude
atexit.unregister() releases the callback list around each __eq__ call and identified the entry it had compared by the address of its Box. __eq__ can call atexit._clear(), which drops that Box, and atexit.register(), whose new Box lands on the freed allocation; the identity search then matched the freshly registered callback and removed it. atexit.register(a); atexit.register(b); atexit.register(c) # __eq__ runs _clear() then register(d), returns True atexit.unregister(probe) left no callbacks registered where CPython leaves d. Entries are Arc-shared now, so unregister() holds the one it is comparing and matches it with Arc::ptr_eq: an address cannot be reused while the comparison that named it is still running. Assisted-by: Claude
PyObjectRef is Send and Sync only under the threading feature, so an Arc over a callback entry trips clippy::arc_with_non_send_sync in builds without it, such as the wasm package. PyRc is Arc there and Rc otherwise. Assisted-by: Claude
FileIO.readinto() and socket.recv_into()/recvfrom_into() took the target
buffer's write borrow and kept it for the whole call, including the wait
for data a pipe, socket or terminal may never deliver. What CPython holds
across that wait is the export, which only forbids resizing; the borrow is
a lock every other thread touching the same object waits on, so
threading.Thread(target=lambda: sock.recv_into(buf)).start()
len(buf)
did not answer until the peer sent. A thread parked on that lock is
ATTACHED and never reaches a safepoint, so gc.collect() in a third thread
waited for the peer as well: one incidental read of the buffer stopped the
world from being stopped at all.
The wait now runs against storage of its own and the bytes are copied over
once they arrive, with the export held throughout so the target still
cannot be resized meanwhile. A seekable file answers from itself rather
than from a peer, so FileIO.readinto() writes into the target directly
there and the buffered read path is unchanged.
Assisted-by: Claude
socket.send()/sendall()/sendto()/sendmsg() and FileIO.write() kept the
source buffer's read borrow for the whole call, including the wait for a
peer that may never make room. That borrow is a lock every other thread
writing to the same object waits on, so
threading.Thread(target=lambda: sock.sendall(buf)).start()
buf[0] = 1
did not return until the peer read; and a thread parked there is ATTACHED
and never reaches a safepoint, so gc.collect() in a third thread waited
for the peer too -- the same wedge readinto() had on the receiving side.
ArgBytesLike::borrow_buf_unlocked() answers with bytes that survive the
borrow being dropped. An immutable object hands out a plain reference and
locks nothing, so those are sent where they lie and bytes and memoryviews
over them cost nothing; only bytes reached through a lock are copied out
first. The export is held throughout either way, so the source still
cannot be resized while it is being sent.
The regression snippet covers both directions now and is renamed for it.

seq2set() collected the whole sequence and compared the result's length against FD_SETSIZE afterwards. Selectable::try_from_object() calls fileno(), which runs Python and can append to the list being walked, and the walk re-reads the list on every step, so the collection had no end to reach and the comparison was never made. seq2set in Modules/selectmodule.c checks the count per element instead. stdlib_select.py gains a fileno() that appends to its own list, and releases its sockets with close() rather than by dropping the name. Assisted-by: Claude
check_c_stack_overflow() answers no unconditionally under miri and on musl, where the stack pointer is not read. Since 9c9905a that check is all with_recursion() does, so every guard placed on native recursion -- __call__ and __get__ dispatch among them -- was a no-op on those targets and the nesting ran until the stack ran out. with_recursion() now counts its own depth on those targets and refuses past NATIVE_RECURSION_LIMIT_UNMEASURED. The count is separate from the frame limit sys.setrecursionlimit() sets, and compiles away where the stack pointer can be read. Assisted-by: Claude
Both buffers are sized from an argument -- pbkdf2_hmac's dklen accepts up to i32::MAX, and readinto's from the length of the destination -- and were built with vec![0u8; n], which aborts the process on allocation failure. new_zeroed_bytes() raises MemoryError instead. Assisted-by: Claude
The '(' branches in read_marshal_str_vec() and read_marshal_const_tuple()
took the length with read_u32() as usize, so a value with the top bit set
read as four billion items rather than as out of range. read_len() is what
every other length in this file goes through, and it reinterprets as i32.
Both readers serve deserialize_code(), which reads only the frozen modules
baked in at build time, so this changes no reachable behavior;
marshal.loads() already went through read_len().
Assisted-by: Claude
builtin_str.py expanded a tab to 2**31-1 columns, allocating 2 GiB to observe that the width is accepted; a string with no tab observes the same acceptance without laying anything out. stdlib_array.py caught the refusal of frombytes() on its own exported buffer and passed silently when nothing was raised. stdlib_hashlib.py used a bare `assert False` as its failure branch. Both now say so through the same shapes the other snippets use. stdlib_socket.py also accepts OverflowError from recv() with a size that does not fit the platform's C int. stdlib_threading_current_frames.py indexed the frame chain for "f123" without first asserting it is there.

diagnostics identify the correct container.
A flagged tuple or list is published in the reference table before its children are read, and the placeholder was built with vec![none; len]. The length is the input's to choose and read_len() lets it reach i32::MAX, so marshal.loads(b"\xa8\xff\xff\xff\x7f") -- five bytes -- asks for 17 GB of element slots and aborts the process where the allocator cannot serve it. r_object() allocates the container up front too, but PyTuple_New() reports what it cannot get. The elements are now reserved with try_reserve_exact() and a refusal is raised as MemoryError through the decoder's pending-error channel. PyTuple::new_marshal_placeholder() held nothing but that allocation and is gone; the caller builds the elements and uses new_ref(). Assisted-by: Claude
measure() asserted len(buf) == len(buf), which holds whatever the length is; it now takes the length the caller expects. The pipe case compared the drained total against the whole source, while an unbuffered write() reports only what it transferred and a signal can cut that short; it now compares against what write() returned.

The slot-offset specialization did not check the descriptor's type
LOAD_ATTR/STORE_ATTRspecialize member-descriptor access by caching the descriptor's slot offset and guarding the specialized instruction on the owner's type version.descr_get/descr_setcheck on every access that the instance belongs to the type the descriptor was defined for; the specializer skipped that check, so a descriptor lifted from a wider class and bound to a narrower one indexed past the instance's slot array once the cache warmed up:A class with
__slots__ = ()reached theext_ref().unwrap()on the same line instead. Both halves are covered inbuiltin_type.py, for the load, the store and the delete.This one is the reason for the hunt:
object::core::PyInneras the top frame, in the object core, independent of the already-guarded recursion paths — the signature reported for face 7c. Without the crash dirs that stays a match, not a diagnosis.socket.recv()reserved its buffer infalliblyrecv()andrecvfrom()passed the caller'sbufsizetoVec::with_capacity, so an unreachable size went throughhandle_alloc_errorand aborted the process before any syscall.try_reserve_exactreportsMemoryError.__call__and__get__slot dispatches were not counted as recursionBoth slot wrappers re-enter Python without pushing a frame, so when the special method names the object it was looked up on, nothing bounded the nesting and the native stack ran out:
vm.with_recursionaround the two dispatches raisesRecursionError, the wayPy_EnterRecursiveCallbounds atp_calldispatch. Measured against a build without the guards, it costs about 5% on a__call__dispatch and 3% on a__get__dispatch through these wrappers; both only run for types whose special method is defined in Python.CPython answers the second one with
TypeError: 'D' object is not callable, becauseslot_tp_descr_getlooks__get__up with a plain_PyType_Lookupand calls it directly, whilecall_special_methodbinds it through the descriptor protocol and so goes round again. The crash is gone either way; the remaining difference is which exception comes out, and the snippet accepts both.with_recursionwas charging the wrong budgetPutting a guard on a native dispatch made
test_tomllib's two recursion-limit tests fail, and the guard was right to be there —with_recursionwas spending the wrong thing. It checked the limitsys.setrecursionlimit()sets and incremented the same counter pushing a frame does, so bounding a native dispatch took frames away from the Python code underneath it, and took them wheresys._getframe()cannot see them:test.support.get_recursion_available()counted frames that were no longer available.Py_EnterRecursiveCallbounds the native stack, a separate budget, and the C stack checkwith_recursionalready performs is exactly that bound; the limit check and the counter are gone.ParamSpecArgsformatted its origin with{:?}ParamSpecArgs/ParamSpecKwargsfell back to a Rust{:?}of__origin__when it had no__name__. That walks the object graph natively, throughDebug for PyInner, where no recursion guard sits — the same shape as thePyAtomicRefDebugtype confusion fixed in #8514, and reachable the same way, through a formatting fallback:The origin is now shown by its repr, which is guarded, and a
ParamSpecorigin is recognized by its type rather than by carrying a__name__— matchingparamspecargs_repr.A lock was held across a call back into Python
Two commits, one class of defect: a lock or a borrow taken and then held while running code that can reach the same object, so a callback that touches it waits on a lock its own caller holds. The process wedges — no exception, no timeout, no way out.
Which fix applies depends on how the lock is reached. Where the value is only needed after the call, the call happens first:
array.__setitem__andmemoryview.__setitem__convert the value before taking the write borrow, andarray/bytearrayanswer "is this resizable" before taking the write lock rather than after — an export is exactly a borrow someone else is already holding, so asking under a lock asks too late. Where the source aliases the destination, the source is copied first:mmap.write,BytesIO.readintoand memoryview slice assignment resolve amemoryviewargument to the object it views and compare identities. Where an iterable drives the loop, the container is read again on each step rather than borrowed for the duration:bytearray.join,bytearray.__mod__, andselect.select's list extraction, which now re-reads the list the waymap_iterable_object()does.poll()waits on a copy of its descriptors, and a future's awaited-by set is built outside the future's lock.A
TextIOWrappercookie is validated in this commit too: it has to name a position inside what was decoded in characters as well as in bytes, and only the byte offset was checked — the character count is whatread()andtell()index with, so a forged cookie panicked.A size taken from Python went into an infallible allocation

allow_codeby walking the result againallow_code=Falsewas enforced by traversing the finished value a second time, looking for a code object, with no depth counter and no record of what it had already visited. A value referring back to itself never terminated, and a value nested deeply enough ran off the native stack:w_object()andr_object()answer it where the code object actually is, inside the walk that already bounds its depth and resolvesFLAG_REFback-references — which is where CPython answers it. The 12 differential cases (dumps/loads× code in a tuple, list, dict, set, frozenset, nested code) now produce the same exception with the same message.Two more in the same file: a container length is read the way
r_long()reads one — signed, so a length with the top bit set is out of range rather than four billion items to reserve room for — andload()no longer holds a borrow of the bufferread()returned across theseek()it makes afterwards.A thread's top frame was published as one pointer and read as another
set_current_frame()casts thePy<FrameObject>it publishes straight to*mut FrameObject, soThreadSlot::top_frameholds the object's base address.sys._current_frames()read it back throughPy::from_payload_ptr(), which subtracts the payload offset from what it is given. The reference it took therefore incremented, and later decremented, a word 48 bytes ahead of the frame — inside the object allocated before it.PyInner<FrameObject>is 0xe0 bytes and frames are recycled through a freelist, so two frames adjacent in the size class are the ordinary case, and that word is exactly the neighbour'scoldOnceLockstate.INCOMPLETE(3) + 1 == 4, and4 & 0b11reads asCOMPLETE, so initialization was skipped and a value slot that had never been written was read as aBox<FrameColdData>and its mutex locked. The crash lands in the thread that owns the neighbour, not the one that read.The slot holds
*mut Py<FrameObject>now, which is what both sides mean.test_sys.test_current_framesnever reached this: its thread is blocked inEvent.wait(), whose topmost frame is a datastack frame with noFrameObject, sotop_frameis null there and the reader takes the materialize path instead. The new snippet takes_current_frames()against threads that are running.stop-the-world could return with a thread still executing bytecode
do_suspend()publishedSUSPENDEDand only then re-readrequested, restoring itself toATTACHEDif the stop had ended meanwhile. That made a parked thread the second writer able to leaveSUSPENDED, so a stop whose completion check had already observed it parked could be undone behind the requester's back:With the store landing inside that walk the debug assertion in
start_the_worldfires. With the walk already past the slot, a following stop force-parks the threadDETACHED -> SUSPENDED, counts it as stopped, and the store then puts it back toATTACHED— with the world declared stopped and the thread running bytecode. That half is silent.requestedis set ininit_thread_countdown()and cleared instart_the_world()with the thread registry held, andstart_the_world()keeps holding it while it releases everySUSPENDEDthread. Taking the registry around the check and the transition leaves only two orders: park before that release pass and be woken by it, or find the request already withdrawn and stayATTACHED. The requester is the only writer that takes a thread out ofSUSPENDEDagain, and the self-restore is gone.The assertion reproduced once in six runs of the new snippet, which drives about 70k stops a second; 30 runs after the change are clean.
gc.collect()stress does not reach the rate that exposes it.atexit identified a callback by an address it had let go of
atexit.unregister()releases the callback list around each__eq__call, and identified the entry it had compared by the address of itsBox.__eq__can callatexit._clear(), which drops thatBox, andatexit.register(), whose newBoxlands on the freed allocation; the identity search then matched the freshly registered callback and removed it. Entries areArc-shared now, sounregister()holds the one it is comparing and matches it withArc::ptr_eq— an address cannot be reused while the comparison that named it is still running.Tests
Regression cases go where the feature is tested:

Face 7c itself remains unconfirmed: nothing here can be tied to the reported crash dirs without their backtraces, and the vehicles' surfaces (selectors with hostile
fileno(), asyncio queues plus the_asynciotask registry, both from several threads) still produce no crash. Details in #8325.One thread defect reported alongside these is not addressed: a
_thread._localwhose__del__re-registers during teardown is said to abort the process out of the TLS destructor, and three repro shapes did not produce it. What that hunt did turn up is a divergence rather than a crash — a value resurrected by a__del__during teardown is never finalized, becausecleanup_thread_local_data()takes the guard list once and anything re-registered during that drop is left to Rust's TLS destructor with no VM to run it. CPython finalizes it at interpreter shutdown.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
