netann: fix race condition in TestChanStatusManagerStateMachine
Fix a race condition in the "add new channels" subtest where the manager's status sampling ticker could fire between adding channel edge policies and marking channels as active in the switch.
This race caused the manager to:
- Discover new channels with enabled edge policies
- Check if they're active (they weren't yet)
- Schedule and send a disable update
The fix reorders the operations to mark channels active before adding edge policies, ensuring the manager always sees them as active.
FIxes a flake found in this build
Summary of Changes
Hello @ellemouton, I'm Gemini Code Assist[^1]! 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 resolves a race condition identified in the TestChanStatusManagerStateMachine test. The issue arose when the channel status manager's sampling ticker would fire at an inopportune moment, causing newly added channels to be incorrectly perceived as inactive and subsequently scheduled for disable updates. The solution reorders the sequence of operations to guarantee that channels are marked active prior to the addition of their edge policies, thereby eliminating the timing window that led to the flakiness.
Highlights
- Race Condition Fix: Addressed a race condition in the
TestChanStatusManagerStateMachinetest where the channel status manager could incorrectly mark newly added channels as inactive due to a timing issue between policy addition and activation. - Operational Reordering: The fix involves reordering the operations to ensure channels are marked active before their edge policies are added, preventing premature disable updates and resolving a test flake.
