Description
The bug in miner/worker.go
In miner/worker.go, there are two goroutine using channel
w.newWorkCh: newWorkerLoop() sends to this channel, and mainLoop() receives from this channel. Only the receive operation is in a select.However,
w.exitChmay be closed by another goroutine. This is fine for the receive since receive is in select, but if the send operation is blocking, then it will block forever.This commit puts the send in a select, so it won't block even if
w.exitChis closed.The bug in eth/downloader/downloader_test.go
Similarly, there are two goroutines using channel
errc: the parent that runs the test receives from it, and the child created at line 573 sends to it.If the parent goroutine exits too early by calling
t.Fatalf()at line 614, then the child goroutine will be blocked at line 574 forever.This commit adds 1 buffer to
errc. Now send will not block, and receive is not influenced because receive still needs to wait for the send.
