One problem is that RevisionBasedEntityLookup is catching generic Exceptions and throwing a different exception, so any entrypoint logic (e.g. jobrunner, runSingleJob, MediaWiki class, MWExceptionHandler class) won't know that the original error was a timeout (via an interrupt, leaving a bunch of function calls unfinished).

Even if it did bubble up, we'd still need to improve those entry points to handle timeouts better. Perhaps rollbackPrimaryChanges() could also:

It would be nice to have some method to handle this for replica connections too, since they can also timeout on queries.

Also, the Database subclasses could catch timeout exceptions that occur right after the driver call (the pecl extension C methods are not interrupted) and treat it as a non-state-corrupting DBError, while bubbling the error up at the same time. This would avoid a lot of these problem cases.

aaron added a comment.Nov 2 2021, 11:01 PM

Using mysql-level query timeouts would also be an option to limit this from occurring (though it could still happen with multiple slow queries).

I'm seeing this same error locally when testing specific behavior of some REST API endpoint changes for T303352, but having a hard time debugging the path from ParameterAssertionException being thrown here to this error being thrown. I think @aaron's comment above might explain the problem i'm seeing, any chance of helping me step through this particular use case @aaron ? :)

That might just be T303887.

Fun thing with f01738ac-a46e-4e0f-a8a8-039b77b5ed41: it is an user creating an account on mediawiki.org (1.39.0-wmf.1) with a global account created on meta (1.38.0-wmf.26). The two mediawiki versions surprised me.

[f01738ac-a46e-4e0f-a8a8-039b77b5ed41] /rpc/RunSingleJob.php Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBTransactionError: Transaction round stage must be 'cursory' (not 'within-rollback-callbacks')

Before that there is:

[f01738ac-a46e-4e0f-a8a8-039b77b5ed41] /rpc/RunSingleJob.php Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBUnexpectedError: Cannot execute Wikimedia\Rdbms\Database::runOnTransactionIdleCallbacks critical section while session state is out of sync.

And after:

Error 1062 from EchoNotificationMapper::insert, Duplicate entry '17604325-1515299' for key 'PRIMARY' (db1157) INSERT INTO echo_notification (notification_event,notification_user,notification_timestamp,notification_read_timestamp,notification_bundle_hash) VALUES (1515299,17604325,'20220321124005',NULL,'') db1157

I am marking this one resolved again. The error message Transaction round stage must be 'cursory' (not 'within-rollback-callbacks') pointed me there but after looking at exceptions and errors for the requests the issues were due to a duplicate primary key for echo notifications. I highly suspect the root cause was T304307.
