…606) asyncio.to_thread cannot be interrupted once the executor thread starts the SET NX round-trip, so cancelling the task awaiting acquire_lock only stops the coroutine from seeing the result -- not the thread from winning the lock. The try/finally release block was never reached in that case, orphaning the key for its full TTL. Run each attempt as its own task and await it through asyncio.shield; on cancellation, wait for the attempt's real result and release before re-raising.

- Around line 166-168: Update the distributed-locking documentation’s
cancellation behavior description to qualify that cleanup attempts to release
any lock won by the in-flight SET NX operation, while Redis release failures may
leave the lock until its TTL expires; remove the absolute claim that
cancellation never orphans a held lock.

- Around line 405-406: Update the Redis lock acquisition and release cleanup
around _release so both operations run as tasks and are awaited through
cancellation-draining asyncio.shield calls; retain the acquisition result and
invoke _release even after repeated cancellation. Re-raise CancelledError only
after acquisition and release cleanup completes, including the
asyncio.to_thread(lock.release) path, and add regression coverage for a second
cancellation during each cleanup phase.

… (LAB-3606) Panel review on #293: if the shielded SET NX attempt raises (e.g. a Redis ConnectionError) instead of returning, `await attempt` inside the CancelledError handler re-raised that exception, which escaped to the outer classify_redis_error handler instead of the CancelledError -- silently breaking cancellation propagation. Swallow the attempt's own failure and always re-raise the cancellation. Also reword the docs claim from "never orphans" to "single cancellation never orphans" -- the release itself is cancellable, so a second cancellation during it re-orphans the key within the same 30s TTL ceiling (accepted, not fixed).

…and release (LAB-3606) The first cut awaited the shielded attempt bare once its shield was cancelled, so a second task.cancel() landed on the attempt task itself: its result was lost and the release skipped, orphaning a won lock for its TTL. The release had the same hole from the other side: with the executor saturated, to_thread(lock.release) sits in the pool queue, and a cancellation there drops the queued work item so the release never runs at all. Both round-trips now go through _await_uninterrupted, which waits on the future with asyncio.wait (never cancels or unwraps its input), absorbs every cancellation, and re-raises the last one only after the future has really finished. The acquisition handler reads the attempt's real outcome: a Redis failure is logged at WARNING with its traceback instead of being swallowed (it cannot have won), a win is released, a loss is left alone. The release helper catches redis.RedisError only, so a non-Redis failure surfaces as a BackendError instead of a debug line. Regression tests cover a second cancellation during attempt drain and during a queued release (1-thread executor), a failing attempt under cancellation, a losing attempt under cancellation, and Redis failing the release. Docs drop the "second cancellation re-orphans" caveat; the one remaining gap is Redis itself failing the release, bounded by the TTL.
… failed release (LAB-3606) Expert-panel findings on the drain: - ensure_future(to_thread(...)) made each round-trip a Task, so any all_tasks() sweep (asyncio.run teardown, graceful shutdown) cancelled it under _await_uninterrupted and the win was lost again. Plain loop.run_in_executor futures are invisible to that sweep. Regression test mimics the sweep. - A release failing for anything but LockNotOwnedError orphans the key until its TTL; it was logged at DEBUG with no key or traceback while the attempt failure got WARNING. Now WARNING with exc_info; the benign expired/taken-over case stays at DEBUG. Test parametrised over both. - Keys in log lines go through redact_cache_key (issue #163), local import because cache_handler imports the backends package. - Docs paragraph scoped to RedisBackend: CachekitIOBackend.acquire_lock has the same gap (LAB-3648). Stale "shield" wording removed from test docstrings; duplicated WHY comments trimmed to one pointer each.

Summary
This PR fixes a lock-orphaning bug in the Redis distributed locking implementation where cancelling a task mid-acquisition could leave a lock held for its entire TTL.
Problem
When a task awaiting
acquire_lockis cancelled,asyncio.to_threadcannot be interrupted once the executor thread has started theSET NXround-trip to Redis. This creates a race condition: the executor thread may successfully win the lock, but the cancellation propagates out of the acquisition loop before the calling coroutine ever sees that it acquired the lock. As a result, the existingtry/finallyrelease block is never reached, and the won lock is orphaned until it self-expires.Fix
The lock acquisition attempt is now run as its own task and awaited with
asyncio.shield. On cancellation, the code waits for the in-flight attempt to complete, and if the attempt actually won the lock, it releases the lock before re-raising theCancelledError. This ensures a cancelled waiter never orphans a held lock.Key changes in
src/cachekit/backends/redis/provider.py:_release()helperTesting
Added
test_cancellation_mid_attempt_releases_a_lock_it_goes_on_to_win, which uses new test hooks on the fake Redis (nx_entered,block_nx,nx_doneevents) to deterministically reproduce the cancellation-during-SET NXrace. The test confirms that a lock won after cancellation is still released. This test is red on the pre-fix code and green with the shield.Documentation
Updated
docs/features/distributed-locking.mdto clarify that cancelling a task mid-acquire_lockdoes not orphan a held lock.Summary
Fixes a lock release bug in the Redis distributed locking implementation when an
acquire_lockattempt is cancelled.Changes
When a task awaiting
acquire_lockis cancelled mid-attempt, the code awaits the in-flightSET NXoperation to completion and releases the lock if it was won. This PR hardens that cancellation-recovery path against a secondary failure:Prevents cancellation masking: Previously, if awaiting the shielded attempt raised an exception (e.g. a Redis
ConnectionError), that failure could mask the originalCancelledError. The result of the shielded attempt is now recovered inside atry/exceptthat treats any failure as "lock not won" (won = False), ensuring theCancelledErroris always re-raised rather than being replaced by the connection error.Documentation update: Clarifies the behavioral guarantee. A single cancellation never orphans a held lock, but a second cancellation landing during the release is not shielded and can re-orphan the key — bounded by the same 30 s TTL as the crash-recovery case.
Impact
Improves the correctness and predictability of distributed lock cleanup during cancellation, avoiding scenarios where a transient Redis error would hide a cancellation and leave the caller with unexpected exception behavior.
Summary
This PR fixes a lock-orphaning bug in the
RedisBackenddistributed locking implementation, where cancelling a task mid-acquire_lockcould leave a Redis lock held until its TTL expiry.Problem
The previous implementation used
asyncio.shieldto protect the in-flightSET NXattempt during cancellation. However, this had two gaps:task.cancel()landing while the first cancellation was draining the shielded attempt would cancel the attempt directly, losing its result and skipping the release of a lock it had won.all_tasks()sweeps: When run as anasyncio.Task, the attempt was visible to shutdown sweeps (e.g.asyncio.run()teardown), which would cancel it out from under the drain, again orphaning the lock.releasecall queued behind saturated executor threads could itself be cancelled by a subsequent cancellation, so the release never ran.Solution
_await_uninterrupted, a helper that awaits a future to completion regardless of how many cancellations land, absorbing each one and re-raising the last after the future's real outcome is available. It usesasyncio.wait(which never cancels its inputs) and requires a plain executor future (not a Task) to stay invisible toall_tasks()sweeps.asyncio.to_thread/asyncio.shieldtoloop.run_in_executordrained through_await_uninterrupted, so both theSET NXattempt and the release always run to completion beforeCancelledErrorpropagates.LockNotOwnedErroris logged at DEBUG (nothing to orphan), while otherRedisErrors are logged at WARNING (key lives until its TTL). Errors are caught inside the executor callable to avoid asyncio's "exception was never retrieved" warnings.CancelledError.Documentation
Updates the distributed-locking guide to clarify that
RedisBackendnow drains any number of cancellations before propagating, with only a Redis-side release failure leaving the key until its TTL. It also notes thatCachekitIOBackenddoes not yet drain cancellation this way.Tests
Adds coverage for: second cancellations while draining the attempt or the queued release,
all_tasks()shutdown sweeps, attempt failures during cancellation being logged, cancelled losing attempts leaving an existing holder's lock alone, and release failures (bothRedisConnectionErrorandLockNotOwnedError) being logged at the appropriate levels.Fix: Release lock acquired after
acquire_lockcancellationSummary
This PR addresses a lock leak issue in the Redis backend where a lock could be won during an in-flight acquisition attempt that completes after the
acquire_lockoperation is cancelled, leaving the lock held with no owner to release it.Changes
The change updates the docstring in
acquire_lockto reflect a shift in the underlying execution mechanism:loop.run_in_executor()and are drained through_await_uninterrupted, ensuring that a cancellation cannot drop a round-trip that still completes successfully.asyncio.to_thread(), which could allow a cancellation to race an in-flightSET NXround-trip and abandon a lock that was actually acquired.Impact
By draining (rather than racing) cancellations, an in-flight acquisition or release round-trip is allowed to finish, so any lock that gets won can be properly released even when the caller cancels the acquisition. This prevents orphaned locks that would otherwise block waiters until timeout.
