Why this should be merged
This cleans up the
cacheDBclose logic by removing an unnecessary mutex and using an atomic.Bool instead, which makes the code simpler and cheaper to reason about while preserving the same behavior on close.This PR is a follow up to this comment in #4425.
How this works
cacheDBnow tracks the closed state via anatomic.Boolrather thancloseMu. We still rely on the underlying DB’s own synchronization to protect any in-flight disk I/O; the cache itself doesn’t need extra protection at close.If a
Getraces withClose, the cache lookup will fail and the underlying DB will return a “db closed” error as expected.How this was tested
Unit tests
