A new lock type will NOT solve this. It is ALWAYS okay to clear all thread/threading module locks after a fork.
They are and always have been process-local by definition so they are also by definition 100% invalid to any child process.
Anyone who has written code using them to "lock" an out-of-process resource has written code that is already broken today. Thread locks can't guard network resources. |
