Summary

Releasing a scope, or closing its parent client, while a blocking command is in flight now closes the scope's socket, so the server drops the blocked command instead of keeping it (for BLPOP key 0, forever). Also gives reused scope connections a fresh scope id and stops the abandon monitor reclaiming a pooled client whose scope is blocking.

Issue link

Closes #7000

Note that the cancelled-acquire leaks (09-18, 09-24 comments) were already fixed by #7112.

Features / Behaviour Changes

  • Discarding a borrowed scope connection closes its socket; waiting callers get FatalReceiveError immediately.
  • A connection a command still holds (in flight or queued on its lock) is discarded on release, not re-idled.
  • A reused scope connection gets a fresh scope id, so a prior borrower's late command fails with "Invalid scope_id".
  • A blocking scope command marks its pool-borrowed parent as blocking, so the abandon monitor skips it.
  • Python async: release frees the executor thread a cancelled BLPOP 0 was pinning.

Implementation

  • Commit 1 is cherry-picked unchanged from fix(node): close() detaches a standalone client with a blocking command in flight #7244 (MultiplexedConnection::kill). Dropping a connection doesn't close it: PipelineSink::poll_close waits for every in-flight reply. Whichever PR lands second rebases it away; please flag if kill() changes there.
  • ScopeEntry holds a lock-free kill_handle (a clone of the connection), and every discard path calls kill(): release, closed-pool release, poison, cleanup failure, failed resync SELECT, failed scope setup (AUTH/SELECT/SETNAME), destroy, parent close.
  • Close-don't-salvage matches Jedis, redis-py, go-redis and rueidis's dedicated client; CLIENT UNBLOCK salvage (rueidis shared pool) wasn't adopted, since a reconnect is cheaper than the extra round-trip and fallback.
  • pool::track_scope_command returns a BlockingGuard (cleared on drop), set before spawn at the FFI, Java and Node scope dispatch sites.

Worth a close look: the held_by_command() check in ScopePool::release_inner, and the parent-id lookup per binding.

Limitations

  • Resources are freed on release or parent close, not when a caller only cancels its await: no binding propagates a scope-command cancel to core, so that needs a per-binding cancel API.
  • The transactional evict-on-full from the 09-18 comment is intentionally not done: holding the evicted connection across the dial overshoots max_total, and a failed dial only costs one reconnect.
  • ClientPool destroy with a blocked borrowed client has the same root cause; noted on Core: Add graceful pool shutdown via close()/destroy() timeout #6884.

Testing

  • New tests, each verified to fail with its fix disabled: release and parent-close assert via CLIENT LIST that the scope's connection is no longer blocked in BLPOP (standalone + cluster); CLIENT KILL mid-BLPOP is discarded on release; abandon monitor skips a blocking scope's parent (core + Python); Python release frees a pinned thread.
  • Reuse tests (core, Python test_lifo_reuse, Java testScopeReuse) now check the server's CLIENT ID instead of an unchanged scope id.
  • Ran: glide-core lib + scoped integration, Python async/sync scope and pool, Java IsolatedScopeIntegrationTest, Go TestPool*/TestScope*, Node Scope/Pool tests. The Java abandon-monitor wiring is compile-checked only.

Dropping every Pipeline clone does not close the socket: the driver's
poll_close waits for all in-flight requests to be answered, so a blocking
command (XREADGROUP BLOCK, BLPOP) keeps the socket open until the server
replies. Wrap the driver in an Abortable and expose kill() on Pipeline and
MultiplexedConnection. Aborting drops the sink and the stream, which closes
the socket and fails pending requests with FatalReceiveError; later sends
fail with FatalSendError.

Part of the fix for valkey-io#7242.

Review state

Ready for human review.
Nothing open at this head. The new commit makes classify_acquire remove and kill a reused entry when the scope pool has already been unregistered, which closes the window where an acquire racing parent teardown left a live registry entry. Teardown unregisters the pool before it sweeps, and every registry insert goes through the Reused arm, so either the sweep or the acquire sees the entry. acquire_after_teardown_leaves_no_registry_entry and all 45 scope:: unit tests pass.

Risk: Medium. Every binding shares scope release, acquire and teardown. A wrong held_by_command check, kill path or the new pool-registered check would discard healthy scope connections, costing a reconnect, or leave blocked sockets open for Python, Go, Java and Node scope users.

Open findings: none.

Resolved (1)

  • (minor) glide-core/src/pool.rs:1514 The ScopePool::release doc comment described the old outcome order, including the contended-lock discard that can no longer happen.

Backport: Not needed. Isolated scopes (ScopeEntry, execute_scope_command) do not exist on release-2.2 through release-2.5, so the leaking code is not on any maintained line.

Walkthrough

Scoped commands now track activity and blocking work against their parent client. Scope release and pool teardown close affected connections. Reused connections receive fresh scope IDs. Core and binding tests cover command tracking, connection cleanup, and connection reuse.

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 35ca4

Releasing a scope or closing its parent now closes the socket, so a blocked command is dropped. Reused connections get a fresh scope ID. The acquire/teardown race no longer leaves a leaked scope entry. No concrete merge-blocking risk remains.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #7000 requires cleanup when the binding cancels an unbounded blocking scoped command. This PR closes the socket and releases pool state when the scope or parent is released. It also adds fresh scope IDs, blocking-parent tracking, and related tests. The PR explicitly does not propagate caller cancellation to core. The Python test cancels BLPOP, then calls scope.close() before checking the executor thread. Therefore, caller-only cancellation is not shown to release the socket, in-flight reservation, physical connection, and Python sync executor.

Resolution

Add binding-to-core cancellation for an in-flight scoped command. Ensure cancellation releases the socket, in-flight reservation, physical connection or pool capacity, and the Python sync executor without requiring scope or parent closure. Add tests that cancel the command and verify cleanup before either closure.

Review comments at @glide-core/src/pool.rs:
- Around line 650-691: Update `track_scope_command` and `BlockingGuard` so each
blocking mark is tied to the borrow that created it, and a guard only clears a
mark for that same borrow; preserve the release-time counter reset. Update
`get_blocking_flag` and any binding-side cached flag handling to use the same
borrow-aware representation, so a stale guard cannot clear a later borrower’s
mark.

Review comments at @python/tests/async_tests/test_async_scope.py:
- Around line 91-92: Set a finite server-side timeout longer than the two-second
assertion on the BLPOP call in the async scope test, instead of using an
indefinite timeout. Preserve the cancellation, scope.close(), and
executor-availability assertion.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Prevent scope insertion after parent teardown.

destroy_client_scope_pool removes and kills only entries found during its sweep. A cloned ScopePoolHandle can still pass the POOL_RUNNING checks and insert a registry entry afterward. The source documents this race, and Node pooled parents can still resolve the leaked entry.

The race exists at the PR base, so this PR does not introduce or materially worsen it. However, the new kill logic does not fix it. A pre-insertion lifecycle check alone is insufficient because teardown can occur between that check and insertion. Coordinate the final insertion with teardown, or re-check after insertion and remove and kill the entry when teardown has started.

Two things this PR had to work around that I think are worth a follow-up issue rather than changes here. Neither is a bug in this PR; the fix is correct and follows the existing parent-dispatch code.

1. Each binding resolves "which pooled client is this scope's parent" on its own. ScopeEntry::parent_client_id holds whatever id the binding registered the parent under: the adapter pointer for the C FFI (ffi/src/lib.rs:2776), the pooled client_id for JNI and Node (java/src/jni_pool.rs:106, node/rust-client/src/pool.rs:190). Core cannot tell from that id whether the parent is pool-borrowed, so this PR does it in each binding before spawning: FFI through POOL_ADAPTER_MAP (ffi/src/pool_ffi.rs:118), JNI and Node through track_scope_command_by_client. A new binding, or a change to either id convention, repeats this. If core recorded pool membership once at borrow time, keyed by the same id the binding registers the parent under, execute_scope_command could call track_scope_command itself and the three binding-side edits here would go away.

2. Four copies of the blocking-mark guard. BlockingGuard (core, this PR) joins an UnmarkOnDrop in each of FFI (ffi/src/lib.rs:56), Java (java/src/lib.rs:514) and Node (node/rust-client/src/lib.rs:295). BlockingGuard and Node's copy refresh activity in Drop. The FFI and Java copies do not; their parent paths refresh by hand after the command completes (ffi/src/lib.rs:5201, java/src/lib.rs:1755), which is skipped when the task is aborted, so the monitor can see the mark cleared with a stale timer. One core entry point for the parent paths, track_command(pool_id, client_id, is_blocking) -> Option<BlockingGuard> or similar, would let the nine UnmarkOnDrop sites and the by-hand refreshes go.

Happy to open the issue with the file references above if that's useful.

Yes, worth a follow-up for both, including the FFI/Java refresh-after-await gap.
