fix(cs): fix flaky test_helgrind_basic

[dmga44]

This change targets improving the stability of the test_helgrind_basic. The test was failing due missing protection of the bgJobPool member of the network worker class when stopping the chunkserver. The solution proposed is to avoid accessing that member when it is no longer needed.

The test_helgrind_basic was modified to explicitly test the stop mechanism.

Summary of Changes

Hello @dmga44, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request enhances the stability of the system by fixing a flaky test and optimizing a critical termination check. The primary goal is to prevent race conditions during shutdown, ensuring more reliable operation and testing of the chunkserver's lifecycle.

Highlights

• Flaky Test Fix: Addressed the flakiness of test_helgrind_basic by resolving an issue related to incorrect protection of the bgJobPool member in the network worker class.
• Concurrency Optimization: Introduced an early exit condition in NetworkWorkerThread::updateAndCheckTerminationStatus to prevent unnecessary checks and potential race conditions when termination is already confirmed.
• Test Enhancement: Modified test_helgrind_basic.sh to explicitly test the chunkserver's stop mechanism, improving test coverage and stability.

Changelog

• src/chunkserver/network_worker_thread.cc
  • Added an early return check in updateAndCheckTerminationStatus if canTerminate_ is already true.
• tests/test_suites/SingleMachineTests/test_helgrind_basic.sh
  • Appended a command to explicitly stop the saunafs_chunkserver_daemon.

Pull request overview

This PR fixes a flaky helgrind test by resolving a race condition in the NetworkWorkerThread termination logic. The issue occurred when accessing bgJobPool_ member after it had been reset during thread termination. The fix adds an early return check in updateAndCheckTerminationStatus() to avoid accessing the member once termination is confirmed.

Changes:

• Added early return optimization in updateAndCheckTerminationStatus() to prevent accessing bgJobPool_ after termination flag is set
• Modified test_helgrind_basic to explicitly test the chunkserver stop mechanism

File	Description
src/chunkserver/network_worker_thread.cc	Added early return in updateAndCheckTerminationStatus() to check canTerminate_ flag before acquiring lock and accessing bgJobPool_, preventing race condition
tests/test_suites/SingleMachineTests/test_helgrind_basic.sh	Added explicit chunkserver stop call to test the termination mechanism that was causing helgrind failures

Code Review

The pull request addresses a flaky test by improving the termination logic in NetworkWorkerThread::updateAndCheckTerminationStatus and explicitly stopping the chunkserver daemon in the test script. The change to updateAndCheckTerminationStatus adds an early exit condition, which is a good optimization and aligns with guidelines for efficient termination checks. The test script modification ensures a clean shutdown, which should resolve flakiness. Overall, the changes are positive for stability and correctness.
