This should fix a possible race condition in
models/issue.go(#7887) if we deem it necessary to fix; I'm not sure it's much of an issue, however.The idea is to put a lock between
select max(index)andinsert into issue (index, ....), so there's no chance that two simultaneous requests attempt to insert the same index for two separate issues.To make sure it doesn't hurt insert performance, I've used per-repository mutexes with a library I've found at go.chromium.org/luci/common/sync/mutexpool; so there's no lock if two inserts go for different repositories.
As I've said, it's probably not worth fixing; but I figured I'd try anyway. The pattern might be useful for other parts of the code.
One more thing: I couldn't figure out a good way of unit testing this modification. I've been looking around but didn't find anything convincing. Suggestions are welcomed.
