Fix receiver hanging and improve worker coordination in bandwidth-test

Problem

The bandwidth-test tool was hanging when using --enable-unordered-processing and --dynamic-allocation flags. Investigation revealed two separate coordination issues:

  1. Receiver hanging issue: The receiver's Run() method would wait indefinitely on the notifyCh channel because it was never closed when transfer completed
  2. Worker coordination issue: Potential race condition in worker MatchController pairing logic that could cause indefinite blocking

Solutions

1. Receiver Hanging Fix

Added a call to close(r.notifyCh) when the finished flag is set in the receiver's Run() method in pkg/receiver/receiver.go. This ensures that when the transfer completes, the notification channel is properly closed and the receiver exits gracefully.

if finished {
    close(r.notifyCh)
    break
}

2. Worker Coordination Improvements

Enhanced the worker MatchController in worker/match.go to prevent potential race conditions:

  • Added timeout handling when sending to pair connection channel to prevent indefinite blocking
  • Added debug logging to track connection pairing process for better diagnostics
select {
case pairConn.pairConnCh <- tc:
case <-time.After(5 * time.Second):
    return fmt.Errorf("timeout sending to pair connection channel")
default:
    return fmt.Errorf("no target pair connection")
}

Changes

  • pkg/receiver/receiver.go: Close the notifyCh channel when transfer completion is detected
  • worker/match.go: Add timeout handling and debug logging to worker coordination logic

Testing Status

  • Built the bandwidth-test tool successfully
  • The receiver notification channel fix addresses the specific hanging issue after transfer completion
  • Worker coordination improvements add robustness to the pairing mechanism
  • Note: Further investigation may be needed as the bandwidth-test tool coordination appears to have additional complexity beyond these fixes

Thread Safety

Both fixes are thread-safe:

  • The receiver channel is closed only once when transfer completion is detected
  • The worker coordination timeout prevents indefinite blocking while maintaining proper synchronization
