📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe scheduler now validates that both edges are active before merging and reassigning an edge. The solver holds its read lock across these operations. Opt-in regression tests exercise lost-edge errors during concurrent builds and cancellations. ChangesGuarded Edge Merging
Priority: ➖ Normal Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Change: Bug fix Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The fix for the merge-after-discard race looks sound. The new test file would fail the repository's lint step because it uses context APIs the lint config forbids; switch to the cause-aware variants before merging. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

The scheduler merges two edges when their cache keys match: it looks the key up in the edge index, moves src's pipes onto dest (mergeTo), then points src's state at dest (setEdge), and setEdge copies src's jobs onto dest's state so a Discard of dest's jobs cannot delete it (moby/buildkit#4887). Two gaps let dest's state be gone by then: 1. The index still returns an edge after a Discard deleted its state. A merged edge's releaserCount keeps it in the index until every edge it owns is released, so the stale edge stays findable. 2. Discard runs on the job's goroutine under Solver.mu, while the scheduler decides and performs the merge without it. A Discard can delete dest's state between the index lookup and setEdge, and setEdge then gets a nil target state and copies no jobs. In both cases src ends up owned by an edge whose inputs are no longer in actives, and its next input request fails with "failed to get edge: inconsistent graph state". Every later edge with the same cache key finds the same stale edge in the index and merges into it, so the failure repeats for as long as overlapping jobs keep that key in use. A trace of TestSchedulerMergeCancelInconsistentGraphState shows gap 2: 262us index match root-B -> root-A (root-A's state active) 268us Discard job A 282us delete state root-A 300us setEdge root-B -> root-A, target state missing 306us root-A requests dep-A: lost edge mergeIfActive holds Solver.mu (read) across the check, mergeTo and setEdge, and merges only if both edges are still the edge their active state resolves to. A Discard waits for the merge, and by then dest's state carries src's jobs. If either state is gone the merge is skipped and both edges build independently. Measured on moby/buildkit v0.33.0 with this change: 0 lost edges in 6,000 runs of the merge/cancel race (1,879 to 1,930 merges per 2,000 races, 82 to 99 skipped); before it, TestSchedulerMergeCancelInconsistentGraphState failed within 21 to 220 iterations in most runs. The solver package tests pass; -race reports the same pre-existing races with and without the change.
In production the failure repeats: after the first "inconsistent graph state", every build that reuses the vertex on the same daemon fails until it restarts. These tests reproduce that on top of the merge/cancel race: - TestSchedulerLostEdgePersistsWhileReferenced keeps the surviving job open and rebuilds its graph; the rebuilds fail until that job is discarded. - TestSchedulerLostEdgePersistsAcrossOverlappingJobs keeps each rebuild's job open until the next one has loaded, as concurrent CI jobs do; without the fix all 10 rebuilds fail. With the fix the race no longer poisons the solver, so both skip after 3,000 iterations without a lost edge.

Replace the context APIs that the forbidigo lint rule forbids.
golangci-lint reports forbidigo errors for ctx.Err, context.WithCancel, and context.WithTimeout in this new file. The repository lint config requires context.Cause, context.WithCancelCause, and context.WithTimeoutCause. If CI runs golangci-lint, this file fails the lint step.
Proposed fix
- return ctx.Err()
+ return context.Cause(ctx)
...
- ctxA, cancelA := context.WithCancel(context.Background())
- ctxB, cancelB := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 5*time.Second)
- defer cancelB()
+ ctxA, cancelACause := context.WithCancelCause(context.Background())
+ cancelA := func() { cancelACause(errors.New("cancel job A")) }
+ ctxB, cancelB := context.WithTimeoutCause(context.Background(), 5*time.Second, errors.New("job B timeout"))
+ defer cancelB()
...
- ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 5*time.Second)
+ ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeoutCause(context.Background(), 5*time.Second, errors.New("rebuild timeout"))Apply the same change at Line 174. Import github.com/pkg/errors.

Stacked on #22. Fixes the inconsistent-graph-state failure that #22 reproduces, and the way it persists afterwards.
Cause
When two edges' cache keys match, the scheduler merges
srcintodest: it movessrc's pipes ontodest(mergeTo), then pointssrc's state atdest(setEdge).setEdgecopiessrc's jobs ontodest's state so a Discard ofdest's jobs cannot delete it (moby/buildkit#4887).dest's state can already be gone by then:releaserCountkeeps it in the index until every edge it owns is released.Solver.mu, but the scheduler looks up, merges and callssetEdgewithout it. A Discard can deletedest's state in between, andsetEdgethen gets a nil target state and copies no jobs.srcthen belongs to an edge whose inputs are not inactives, and its next input request fails withfailed to get edge: inconsistent graph state. Every later edge with the same cache key finds the same stale edge in the index and merges into it, so on a shared daemon the failure repeats until it restarts.Trace of
TestSchedulerMergeCancelInconsistentGraphState, from trace points added for the investigation (not in this PR):The same order shows in production daemon logs (fork
51fe8fb974fd): a shared step's state is deleted as one session ends, and 6 ms to 3 s later a concurrent session's lookup of it fails.Change
mergeIfActiveholdsSolver.mu(read) across the check,mergeToandsetEdge, and merges only if both edges are still the edge their active state resolves to. A Discard waits for the merge, and by thendest's state carriessrc's jobs. If either state is gone, the merge is skipped and both edges build on their own.The second commit adds two repros of the persistence: rebuilds of the surviving job's graph fail while it stays open, and overlapping rebuilds never recover.
