Benjamin Peterson dbf52e02f1 bpo-31530: fix crash when multiple threads iterate over a file, round 2 (#5060 ) Multiple threads iterating over a file can corrupt the file's internal readahead buffer resulting in crashes. To fix this, cache buffer state thread-locally for the duration of a file_iternext call and only update the file's internal state after reading completes. No attempt is made to define or provide "reasonable" semantics for iterating over a file on multiple threads. (Non-crashing) races are still present. Duplicated, corrupt, and missing data will happen. This was originally fixed by `6401e56717`, which raised an exception from seek() and next() when concurrent operations were detected. Alas, this simpler solution breaks legitimate use cases such as capturing the standard streams when multiple threads are logging.		2018-01-02 09:25:41 -08:00
