Follow-up to #8514 and #8518. Those closed every record in the fuzzing + static-review catalogs except one: RUSTPY-0007 face 7c, the object-core segfault reported in the selectors and asyncio_queues vehicles, which has no reproducer and whose crash dirs are not public. Hunting it turned up crashes that were not in the catalog at all, and hunting those turned up more. Every one is reachable from ordinary pure Python, and CPython 3.14 answers all of them with a normal exception or a result.

The slot-offset specialization did not check the descriptor's type

LOAD_ATTR/STORE_ATTR specialize member-descriptor access by caching the descriptor's slot offset and guarding the specialized instruction on the owner's type version. descr_get/descr_set check 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:

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            # TypeError until specialized, then a panic
    except TypeError: pass

A class with __slots__ = () reached the ext_ref().unwrap() on the same line instead. Both halves are covered in builtin_type.py, for the load, the store and the delete.

This one is the reason for the hunt: object::core::PyInner as 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 infallibly

recv() and recvfrom() passed the caller's bufsize to Vec::with_capacity, so an unreachable size went through handle_alloc_error and aborted the process before any syscall. try_reserve_exact reports MemoryError.

__call__ and __get__ slot dispatches were not counted as recursion

Both 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:

class C: pass
c = C(); C.__call__ = c
c()                                     # SIGSEGV

class D: pass
d = D(); D.__get__ = d; D.x = d
d.x                                     # SIGSEGV

vm.with_recursion around the two dispatches raises RecursionError, the way Py_EnterRecursiveCall bounds a tp_call dispatch. 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, because slot_tp_descr_get looks __get__ up with a plain _PyType_Lookup and calls it directly, while call_special_method binds 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_recursion was charging the wrong budget

Putting a guard on a native dispatch made test_tomllib's two recursion-limit tests fail, and the guard was right to be there — with_recursion was spending the wrong thing. It checked the limit sys.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 where sys._getframe() cannot see them: test.support.get_recursion_available() counted frames that were no longer available. Py_EnterRecursiveCall bounds the native stack, a separate budget, and the C stack check with_recursion already performs is exactly that bound; the limit check and the counter are gone.

ParamSpecArgs formatted its origin with {:?}

ParamSpecArgs/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 — the same shape as the PyAtomicRef Debug type confusion fixed in #8514, and reachable the same way, through a formatting fallback:

a = object()
for _ in range(30000):
    a = typing.ParamSpecArgs(a)
repr(a)                                 # SIGSEGV

The origin is now shown by its repr, which is guarded, and a ParamSpec origin is recognized by its type rather than by carrying a __name__ — matching paramspecargs_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.

_asyncio.future_add_to_awaited_by(fut, waiter)  # waiter.__hash__ adds again
select.select(elements, [], [], 0)              # fileno() clears `elements`
select.poll().poll(1000)                        # a SIGALRM handler registers

memoryview(b)[0:4] = memoryview(b)[::-1]        # source overlaps destination
BytesIO(b"abcdef").readinto(its own getbuffer())
array("i", [0])[0] = x                          # x.__index__ appends
mmap_obj.write(memoryview(mmap_obj))
bytearray(b"-").join(hostile_iterable)
bytearray(b"%s") % hostile_tuple

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__ and memoryview.__setitem__ convert the value before taking the write borrow, and array/bytearray answer "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.readinto and memoryview slice assignment resolve a memoryview argument 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__, and select.select's list extraction, which now re-reads the list the way map_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 TextIOWrapper cookie 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 what read() and tell() index with, so a forged cookie panicked.

A size taken from Python went into an infallible allocation

Eight places passed a caller-supplied size straight to Vec::with_capacity or equivalent, so the process aborted through handle_alloc_error before any exception could be raised: center(), ljust(), rjust() and zfill() on str/bytes/bytearray; expandtabs(), which builds its runs of spaces from tabsize; Buffered{Reader,Writer,Random}(buffer_size=); read(), read1() and FileIO.read(); bytes(n) and bytearray(n); and pbkdf2_hmac()'s derived key length. Each reports MemoryError now, or OverflowError where the argument does not fit the C type it is declared with (expandtabs, pbkdf2_hmac).

bytes(n) and the read paths allocate with alloc_zeroed rather than reserving and then memsetting, so FileIO.read(2**40) costs the pages that are written to rather than all of them, as PyBytes_FromStringAndSize + calloc does.

marshal answered allow_code by walking the result again

allow_code=False was 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:

l = []; l.append(l)
marshal.dumps(l, allow_code=False)      # SIGSEGV

w_object() and r_object() answer it where the code object actually is, inside the walk that already bounds its depth and resolves FLAG_REF back-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 — and load() no longer holds a borrow of the buffer read() returned across the seek() it makes afterwards.

A thread's top frame was published as one pointer and read as another

set_current_frame() casts the Py<FrameObject> it publishes straight to *mut FrameObject, so ThreadSlot::top_frame holds the object's base address. 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. 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's cold OnceLock state. INCOMPLETE(3) + 1 == 4, and 4 & 0b11 reads as COMPLETE, so initialization was skipped and a value slot that had never been written was read as a Box<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_frames never reached this: its thread is blocked in Event.wait(), whose topmost frame is a datastack frame with no FrameObject, so top_frame is 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() published SUSPENDED and only then re-read requested, restoring itself to ATTACHED if the stop had ended meanwhile. That made a parked thread the second writer able to leave SUSPENDED, so a stop whose completion check had already observed it 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. That half is silent.

requested is set in init_thread_countdown() and cleared in start_the_world() with the thread registry held, and start_the_world() keeps holding it while it releases every SUSPENDED thread. 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 stay ATTACHED. The requester is the only writer that takes a thread out of SUSPENDED again, 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 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. 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.

Tests

Regression cases go where the feature is tested: builtin_type.py, builtin_memoryview.py, builtin_str.py, builtin_bytes.py, builtin_hash.py, recursion.py, stdlib_socket.py, stdlib_typing.py, stdlib_select.py, stdlib_asyncio.py, stdlib_io.py, stdlib_io_bytesio.py, stdlib_array.py, stdlib_marshal.py, stdlib_hashlib.py, stdlib_types.py, stdlib_atexit.py, stdlib_threading_current_frames.py. The snippet suite runs each of them under host CPython as well, so every case is checked against 3.14 by construction.

The full snippet suite passes (426 tests). Of the CPython suite, test_descr, test_typing, test_socket, test_types, test_dynamic, test_richcmp, test_class, test_property, test_super, test_array, test_mmap, test_bytes, test_memoryview, test_io, test_re, test_buffer, test_memoryio, test_bufio, test_fileio, test_str, test_struct, test_marshal, test_tomllib, test_atexit, test_sys, test_threading, test_thread, test_threading_local, test_gc, test_faulthandler, test_traceback, test_frame pass, as does a wider batch of 43 modules including test_asyncio, test_collections, test_enum, test_dataclasses, test_functools, test_weakref and test_generators. The CI clippy line is clean.

test_support.test_get_recursion_depth started passing once with_recursion stopped charging the frame budget, so its expectedFailure is removed.

Still open

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 _asyncio task registry, both from several threads) still produce no crash. Details in #8325.

One thread defect reported alongside these is not addressed: a _thread._local whose __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, because cleanup_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.

Stop-the-world suspension, frame pointers, recursion tracking, callback storage, list extraction, awaiter updates, descriptor caching, and type representations now handle reentrant or concurrent execution paths explicitly.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 80646

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.

48-59: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Search the whole list for the matched entry.

register inserts at index 0. If __eq__ registers a callback while the list is unlocked, every existing entry shifts to a higher index, so the matched entry moves to i + k. The backward search starts at min(funcs.len() - 1, i) and never inspects indices above i, so the callback that compared equal stays registered. Search by identity across the whole vector instead.

9293-9300: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Correct 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 specialized LoadAttrSlot/StoreAttrSlot instructions 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 between specialize_load_attr and specialize_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."

Lines 110-119 duplicate the stride and suboffset recomputation in crates/vm/src/builtins/memory.rs (lines 486-500). Extract that math into a BufferDescriptor method, for example fn to_contiguous_layout(&mut self), and call it from both places. The memoryview version still needs its own view-aware append_to, so only the descriptor math moves.

One unwrapping rule is implemented three times. Each site resolves "the object whose storage a buffer borrows" by downcasting to PyMemoryView and falling back to buf.obj. Alias detection in mmap.write and _io depends on all three agreeing, so define the rule once.

Use or remove CURRENT_TOP_FRAME_SLOT. The top_frame reader correctly uses *mut Py<FrameObject>, and no reader treats it as *mut FrameObject. However, CURRENT_TOP_FRAME_SLOT is only set and cleared. set_current_frame still borrows CURRENT_THREAD_SLOT, so the cache does not provide its documented hot-path optimization.

Extract the shared origin-repr logic.

The ParamSpecArgs and ParamSpecKwargs implementations are identical except for the .args and .kwargs suffix. Extract one helper and pass the suffix.

♻️ Proposed refactor
fn param_spec_attr_repr(origin: &PyObject, suffix: &str, vm: &VirtualMachine) -> PyResult<String> {
    // A ParamSpec origin is named; anything else is shown by its repr,
    // which carries the recursion guard a Rust `{:?}` walk does not.
    if let Some(param_spec) = origin.downcast_ref::<ParamSpec>() {
        return Ok(format!("{}{suffix}", param_spec.__name__().str_utf8(vm)?));
    }
    Ok(format!("{}{suffix}", origin.repr(vm)?))
}

Then both repr_str bodies become a single call, for example param_spec_attr_repr(&zelf.__origin__, ".args", vm).

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.

Assisted-by: Claude
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.

Assisted-by: Claude
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
when both sides are contiguous in the last dimension.

Assisted-by: Claude
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.

Assisted-by: Claude
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

PyObjectRef is Send and Sync only under the threading feature, so an Arc

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.

Assisted-by: Claude
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.

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.

Bound the list walk by the length read at entry.

func runs Python code. If it appends to the same list, elements.get(i) keeps returning items, so the loop never ends and results grows without limit. _list_extend in CPython reads the size once. This PR already applies that rule in crates/stdlib/src/select.rs lines 88-101, where the growth case is answered during the walk instead of from the final length.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use the correct container name in the size error.

At Line 1141, Type::FrozenSet passes "set" to read_len. The error displays "set size out of range" for a frozenset. Pass "frozenset" so the diagnostic identifies the decoded 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().

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.

Make non-placeholder tuple and list construction fallible.

The non-reference paths call PyMarshalBag::make_tuple and PyMarshalBag::make_list, which collect into Vec without fallible reservation. BasicBag::make_tuple has the same behavior. Since placeholder allocation runs only for FLAG_REF entries, a valid non-reference container with length up to 2_147_483_647 can still abort on allocation failure instead of returning MemoryError. Propagate allocation failure through these paths before collecting.
