Subject: [PATCH 2/2] sstate: guard sstate funcs against execution in wrong context
Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2026 17:02:32 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260625150232.531442-3-felix.moessbauer@siemens.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260625150232.531442-1-felix.moessbauer@siemens.com>
In sstate.bbclass, sstate_package() sets SSTATE_CURRTASK from
the sstate task being packaged, then runs every function listed
in SSTATECREATEFUNCS. This happens independent of the context the sstate
task is scoped to for all tasks in a single recipe.
While this pattern is not problematic in isar itself (we only have one
SSTATECREATEFUNC per recipe), it becomes problematic when downstream
users define further manual sstate tasks. In this case, the sstate tasks
are executed in the wrong context, leading to races and failures in all
colors.
We fix this by guarding each manually defined sstate func to only run in
its intended context.
