What this PR does:

Reset() used to wait for the receive goroutine (grWG) and for lifecycle work (lifecycle.wait()). Both barriers can include the callback that is calling Reset():

  • handlePackage invokes OnError/OnClose inside its deferred teardown while the receive goroutine is still counted in grWG;
  • OnMessage, OnCron, Reader, Writer and registered close callbacks run inside sessionLifecycle tasks;
  • a callback that calls Reset() therefore waits for itself. This is the original OnClose -> Reset deadlock, and the same pattern applies to the other lifecycle callbacks.

This PR adds a per-session callbackDepth atomic.Int32 and wraps every managed callback with it. Reset() checks the counter at entry:

func (s *session) Reset() {
    async := s.callbackDepth.Load() > 0
    result := s.ResetAsync()
    if !async {
        <-result
    }
}
  • No callback active: Reset() waits for the full reset, as before.
  • Any callback active: Reset() schedules the same cleanup and returns immediately, so the callback can finish and the reset worker can drain grWG/lifecycle.
  • The decision is session-wide, so an external goroutine also takes the asynchronous path while a callback is active. TryReset() reports that case as ErrResetDuringCallback instead of scheduling.

The reset worker runs outside the callback goroutine and waits for the read loop, lifecycle callbacks, in-flight writes, connection cleanup, then clears the session fields. Supporting changes:

  • run() counts the startup path in grWG, so a reset requested from OnOpen waits for initialization to unwind.
  • WritePkg holds a lifecycle task and wraps the user Writer, so reset cannot clear s.writer mid-encode.
  • gc() registers its connection-cleanup task under s.lock before detaching the connection, so a reset waiter cannot miss it.
  • Every ResetAsync() request gets its own buffered chan error, grouped into one sessionResetRun. Concurrent requests share cleanup work but retain separate results; a later reset cannot overwrite an earlier request's result.
  • A panic in the reset worker is captured and delivered as that run's result. It is not reported as success, and the partially torn-down session is left for the caller to discard.

Which issue(s) this PR fixes:

Refs #153 — this PR only addresses item 6 (session reset self-wait in callbacks). The other items in that issue are separate fixes.

Special notes for your reviewer:

  • Session keeps its original Reset() signature. TryReset and ResetAsync are optional interfaces implemented by the built-in session; existing custom Session implementations continue to compile:
    type AsyncResetter interface {
        ResetAsync() <-chan error
    }
    type TryResetter interface {
        TryReset() error
    }
  • Semantic change: while any callback of the session is active, Reset() schedules cleanup and returns, even when called from another goroutine. This is the owner-approved callback-depth design: a session-wide counter cannot distinguish the calling goroutine, and waiting there can wait for the callback itself. Code that does Reset(); pool.Put(s) during a callback must switch to ResetAsync() and wait for its result outside the callback; the README example shows the pattern.
  • Never wait on ResetAsync() from inside a callback of the session being reset. The result is delivered only after that callback returns.
  • Reset() has no return value, so it discards the asynchronous result; use TryReset() or ResetAsync() when the reset error matters. A reset worker panic is logged and returned to those callers.
  • Reset() actively stops/closes an active session; for client sessions this can also trigger the normal close/reconnect path.
  • No goroutine-ID tracking or stack inspection is involved. callbackDepth is per session and O(1), so deep call chains cannot bypass it and callbacks from another Session cannot influence it.
  • The branch includes a merge of current upstream/master; the conflict was limited to the TCP/WS read paths, where readPackage was kept alongside the new maxMsgLen checks. The PR should be conflict-free against master.

Testing:

  • TestResetCallbackContract covers ten callback paths: open, message, error, close, cron, registered close, reader, writer, pooled message, pooled cron.
    • TryReset() from a callback returns ErrResetDuringCallback;
    • Reset() from a callback starts async cleanup and returns;
    • concurrent requests share one run but retain distinct result channels;
    • no result is delivered before the callback returns;
    • session state is cleared only after the callback unwinds.
  • TestResetDeepCallback calls Reset() through 128 real stack frames, proving the behavior does not depend on stack depth.
  • TestCallbackDepthUnwinds verifies nested callbacks, including a panic, restore the counter.
  • TestResetResultSurvivesRetry makes the first reset fail, starts a second reset, and confirms the first request still observes its own error.
  • TestResetReportsWorkerPanic injects a panicking net.Conn.Close and checks the reset error is observable and the connection was not cleared as if the reset had succeeded.
  • Additional tests cover close callbacks, package-loop shutdown, active heartbeat, in-flight WriteBytes, async GC cleanup, and synchronous repeated reset.
  • After merging current master, go test ./transport -count=1 (28.9s) and go test -race ./transport -count=1 (33.3s) pass, along with the existing TCP/WS limit tests.

Does this PR introduce a user-facing change?:

Session.Reset no longer deadlocks when called from OnClose, OnMessage, OnCron or another managed session callback. While a callback is active, Reset schedules cleanup and returns instead of waiting; use the optional AsyncResetter to wait for completion and read the reset error. The Session interface is unchanged.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Session reset now offers synchronous, nonblocking, and asynchronous options. Asynchronous requests provide individual completion results, even when sharing cleanup.
    • Reset waits for managed work and connection cleanup when called outside a session callback. Inside a callback, it schedules cleanup and returns immediately; the nonblocking option reports an error without requesting reset.
  • Documentation
    • Added guidance and examples for choosing a reset option, handling callbacks, and waiting before reusing a session.

📝 Walkthrough

Session reset now supports callback-aware synchronous, conditional, and asynchronous requests. Reset requests share cleanup while keeping separate results. Managed callback and lifecycle paths are tracked, and tests cover reset completion during callbacks, writes, and connection cleanup.

Changes: Session reset

Layer / File(s) Summary
Reset API contract
transport/getty.go, transport/session.go, transport/session_callback.go, README.md, README_CN.md
Adds AsyncResetter, TryResetter, and ErrResetDuringCallback. Documents callback-dependent Reset() behavior, asynchronous results, and callback usage.
Managed callback tracking
transport/session.go, transport/session_callback.go
Tracks active callbacks across decoder, writer, lifecycle, cron, message, and close-callback paths. Startup and writes use lifecycle tracking.
Reset worker and cleanup
transport/session.go
Coordinates shared reset cleanup and separate per-request results. Cleanup stops the session, closes its transport, waits for managed work, and clears state.
Reset completion tests
transport/session_reset_test.go, transport/session_callback_test.go, transport/session_test.go, transport/client_test.go
Tests reset completion across callbacks, writes, connection cleanup, concurrent requests, panics, and client reset usage.

Explanation

The title "fix: avoid session reset self-wait in callbacks" matches the main change. The PR adds per-session callback-depth tracking so that Session.Reset() schedules cleanup and returns while a callback is active, instead of waiting on a goroutine that includes the calling callback. The summary also covers the supporting changes (TryReset, ResetAsync, and the AsyncResetter and TryResetter interfaces), which the title does not name. The title is specific and concise, and it follows the conventional fix: prefix.
