There was a problem hiding this comment.
This bytes concatenation triggers a potentially very large memory copy which is a regression compared to master.
There are two possible solutions to this problem:
- Add a
send_byte_chunksAPI down to the Connection that would make it possible to send a topple of bytes without materializing the full buffer. We don't know if it is possible on windows. - Implement a new Queue sub class to send and receive 2 messages at a time. This would introduce a small call overhead, potentially critical for small messages.

When using
concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutorwith objects that are not picklable or unpicklable, several situations results in a deadlock, with the interpreter frozen.This is the case for different scenarios, for instance, https://gist.github.com/tomMoral/cc27a938d669edcf0286c57516942369. This PR is a follow up of #3895 and specifically fixes the unpickling behavior. With this PR, the unpickling failures do not result in broken executors. This is done by ensuring that the
_callItemand the_ResultItemare sent in queues along the work_id with a specific communication protocol, which sends thework_idas bytes, followed by the object serialized bypickle.To this end, we introduce private API in
multiprocessing.Queueto allow modified serialization protocols.Overall, the goal is to make
concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutormore robust to faulty user code.This work was done as part of the tommoral/loky#48 with the intent to re-use the executor in multiple independent parts of the program, in collaboration with @ogrisel. See #1013 for more the details.
