Change the core message loop to handle task and actor-runtime cancel
|
|
requests immediately instead of scheduling them as is done for rpc-task
|
|
requests.
|
|
|
|
In order to obtain more reliable teardown mechanics for (complex) actor
|
|
trees it's important that we specially treat cancel requests as having
|
|
higher priority. Previously, it was possible that task cancel requests
|
|
could actually also themselves be cancelled if a "actor-runtime" cancel
|
|
request was received (can happen during messy multi actor crashes that
|
|
propagate). Instead cancels now block the msg loop until serviced and
|
|
a response is relayed back to the requester. This also allows for
|
|
improved debugger support since we have determinism guarantees about
|
|
which processes must wait before hard killing their children.
