    runtime: fix use after close race in Solaris network poller · 199e7030
    Aram Hăvărneanu authored
    The Solaris network poller uses event ports, which are
    level-triggered. As such, it has to re-arm itself after each
    wakeup. The arming mechanism (which runs in its own thread) raced
    with the closing of a file descriptor happening in a different
    thread. When a network file descriptor is about to be closed,
    the network poller is awaken to give it a chance to remove its
    association with the file descriptor. Because the poller always
    re-armed itself, it raced with code that closed the descriptor.
    
    This change makes the network poller check before re-arming if
    the file descriptor is about to be closed, in which case it will
    ignore the re-arming request. It uses the per-PollDesc lock in
    order to serialize access to the PollDesc.
    
    This change also adds extensive documentation describing the
    Solaris implementation of the network poller.
    
    Fixes #7410.
