Description

This PR fixes the following race conditions in the tablet throttler:

  • Upon Disable(), caches were flushed (cleared) before context as cancelled, and so Operate()'s goroutine could still re-populate them before actually terminating.
  • Unit tests were racy because they did not truly wait for Operate()'s goroutine to terminate. At the time we excluded those tests via //go:build !race, but:

We introduce a WaitCondition with which the unit tests can Wait() for the complete termination of Operate()'s goroutine. We ensure to flush the caches at that very goroutine. We fix and improve the unit test, and we now include it in race tests.

The following is mostly copy+paste from the now deleted throttler_exclude_race_test.go file, and with a few minor changes. Notably atomic.LoadInt64(...) and some cosmetics.

These are done in the reverse order now because they are in defers. I'm assuming that's fine.

Yes, that's fine. Ordering is irrelevant here.

Any reason not to use a single deferred function, at least for the flushes? It's fine as-is, just curious.

No reason at all. I can consolidate.

// While the throttler is disabled, it is technically safe to iterate those structures. However, `go test -race` disagrees,
// which is why this test is in this *exclude_race* file
