fix(world): stop duplicate chunk generation and a light/mesh data race - #5374
fix(world): stop duplicate chunk generation and a light/mesh data race#5374soloturn wants to merge 4 commits into
Conversation
Found while profiling fast flight for #5361: chunk generation throughput (median ~109ms/chunk, thread pool saturated 94%+ of the time) is the real bottleneck, not dispatch ordering - but two separate bugs surfaced along the way and are worth fixing regardless of that larger question. ChunkProcessingPipeline.invokeGeneratorTask used non-atomic get-then-put on chunkProcessingInfoMap: under load, two callers could both see a position "not present" and both submit a generator task for it. Now computeIfAbsent. RelevanceSystem also re-requested a position that had already finished the pipeline but was still waiting in readyChunks to be drained - LocalChunkProvider#pendingActivation makes that state visible so it isn't requested a second time. Together these were regenerating the same chunk twice tens of times per session, each a full ~100ms+ redo. Separately: LateLightMerger writes chunk light-array data on the main thread while ChunkMeshWorker reads it concurrently for tessellation. TeraSparseArray8Bit's lazy allocation publishes two fields (inflated/deflated) as separate unsynchronized writes, so a reader could observe one updated and not the other - "this.deflated is null" NPEs in mesh generation, self-cascading into thousands of failed chunks once generation throughput was high enough to hit the window regularly (which fixing the duplicate-generation waste above made more likely, not less - that's what surfaced this). ChunkLightLocks adds a per-chunk-position ReentrantReadWriteLock: mergeAt takes the write lock, mesh generation takes the read lock, both over the same 3x3x3 neighbourhood, both always acquired in a fixed position order to stay deadlock-free. Read/write rather than a single lock: with ~10 concurrent mesh-worker threads most contention was reader-vs-reader, not vs the merge - measured 643k lock acquisitions/406s cumulative wait with a plain lock, 1M acquisitions/11s wait with the read/write split, same session shape. Also: DEFAULT_TASK_THREADS' clamp of 4 was tried at 16 to use the idle cores this surfaced - reverted. More threads means more chunks simultaneously in the large, undeflated post-generation state, and that was enough to OOM a constrained heap. Left at 4, documented why, out of scope for tonight - a real fix needs to bound in-flight chunk count by memory, not just add threads. This branch (soloturn-late-light-merging) had diverged from feat/late-light-merging (PR #5363) rather than sitting on top of it; this commit carries the tree-level difference across onto a branch based on feat/late-light-merging so it can go up as a PR against that branch instead.

- Around line 491-502: Update purgeWorld() to clear readyChunks and invalidate
or fence the previous loadingPipeline generation before creating the replacement
pipeline, ensuring late completions from the old pipeline cannot enqueue chunks.
Preserve the existing state-clearing behavior and only allow chunks produced by
the newly created pipeline to be cached or activated by update().

- Around line 191-197: Update the affected-chunk loop in LocalChunkView to
remove the willSelfCorrect exemption when marking queued neighbours dirty. For
every non-null affected chunk in the iteration, call setDirty(true), while
preserving the existing bounds and chunk lookup logic.

- Line 41: Update the BlockManagerImpl construction in LateLightMergerTest to
resolve AssetManager through the inherited test context, matching
LocalChunkViewTest, and remove the now-unused CoreRegistry import.

`@engine/src/main/java/org/terasology/engine/world/chunks/ChunkLightLocks.java`:
- Around line 72-73: Import java.util.function.Function and update the withLocks
method signature to use Function directly instead of its fully qualified name,
preserving the existing behavior.
In
`@engine/src/main/java/org/terasology/engine/world/chunks/LateLightMerger.java`:
- Around line 77-95: Optimize LateLightMerger by replacing repeated
hasFullNeighbourhood scans in chunkReady with per-position present-neighbour
counts: increment each candidate’s count when a chunk becomes ready, queue
candidates when their count reaches the required 27, and decrement the
corresponding counts in chunkUnloaded. Preserve the existing needsMerging,
readyToMerge, and readyToMergeSet behavior while removing the repeated
chunkCache.containsKey lookups.
In
`@engine/src/main/java/org/terasology/engine/world/propagation/LocalChunkView.java`:
- Around line 180-185: Replace the literal upper clamp bound 2 in the min/max X,
Y, and Z calculations with the existing LOCAL_CHUNKS_SIDE_LENGTH constant,
matching its use in indexOf.

…tLocks constants DeclarationOrder: the private canonical constructor was declared after the withoutDirtyMarking static factory instead of grouped with the other constructors.

CodeRabbit review: invokeGeneratorTask registers a ChunkProcessingInfo in the map via computeIfAbsent, then submits the generator task to the executor separately (can't submit inside computeIfAbsent's lambda - that holds a per-bin lock across an external call). A stopProcessingAt landing in that gap removed the entry and saw no currentFuture to cancel, so it did nothing - but the submission on the other thread went ahead anyway, orphaning a task for a position already told to stop. Fix: make currentFuture volatile, and after submitting, re-check we're still the map's entry for this position. Still there -> stopProcessingAt hasn't run yet and will see currentFuture when it does. Gone -> it already ran and missed us, so cancel here instead. No lock needed - Future.cancel() is safe to call twice either way. Added a 500-iteration soak test racing the two calls concurrently. It's not a guaranteed repro of the exact race (a few nanoseconds wide, not observable from the public API, and the trivial test task completes too fast for cancelled-vs-orphaned to look different from outside) - it just checks nothing throws or hangs under load.

The reload number lines up directly with #5150's original complaint (multi-second main-thread stalls reloading a saved world with entities) - 12.2s down to 3.1s. Caveat: single run each side, not repeated for statistical confidence. The size of the gap (4x on the headline number) makes it unlikely to be pure noise, but treat this as a strong signal rather than a certified benchmark until re-run a few more times. |

Stacks on #5363 (
feat/late-light-merging). Two concurrency bugs found while profiling fast flight for #5361, plus the diagnostics that led to them - both apply cleanly on top of late light merging rather than being alternatives to it.Duplicate chunk generation.
ChunkProcessingPipeline.invokeGeneratorTaskused non-atomic get-then-put onchunkProcessingInfoMap: under load, two callers could both see a position "not present" and both submit a generator task for it. Switched tocomputeIfAbsent.RelevanceSystemalso re-requested a position that had already finished the pipeline but was still waiting inreadyChunksto be drained -LocalChunkProvider#pendingActivationmakes that state visible so it isn't requested a second time. Together these were regenerating the same chunk twice, tens of times per session, each a full ~100ms+ redo.Light/mesh data race.
LateLightMergerwrites chunk light-array data on the main thread whileChunkMeshWorkerreads it concurrently for tessellation.TeraSparseArray8Bit's lazy allocation publishes two fields (inflated/deflated) as separate unsynchronized writes, so a reader could observe one updated and not the other -this.deflated is nullNPEs in mesh generation, cascading into thousands of failed chunks once generation throughput was high enough to hit the window regularly (which fixing the duplicate-generation waste above made more likely, not less - that's what surfaced this). NewChunkLightLocks: a per-chunk-positionReentrantReadWriteLock, sorted-order multi-acquire to stay deadlock-free.mergeAttakes the write lock over its 3x3x3 neighbourhood,ChunkMeshWorkertakes the read lock over its own. Measured: 643k lock acquisitions / 406s cumulative wait with a plain per-chunk lock, 1M acquisitions / 11s wait with the read/write split, same session shape.Thread cap.
DEFAULT_TASK_THREADS' clamp of 4 was tried at 16 to use idle cores the profiling surfaced - reverted, it OOM'd a constrained heap (more threads → more chunks simultaneously in the large, undeflated post-generation state). Left at 4, documented why. A real fix needs to bound in-flight chunk count by memory, not just add threads - out of scope here.All new logging is
perfProbe-prefixed andlogger.isDebugEnabled()-gated, silent by default.Related: #5361 (fast-flight generation-order investigation this came out of), #4822 (dispatch-ordering PR benchmarked against a reimplementation of its design during that investigation - did not improve throughput, recommend closing separately).
