Summary

  • Add a production-path regression test for concurrent foyer disk reinsertion through HybridArticleCache.
  • Update the foyer dependency family from 0.22.3 to current released 0.22.6.

Branch-added tests

hybrid_disk_reinsertion_does_not_corrupt_lru seeds the production hybrid cache with articles, then runs concurrent cache reads and upserts against the same keys using the psync disk tier. It joins all workers and asserts that the cache remains usable, reproducing the foyer LRU corruption path under contention.

Result

The test reproduces foyer 0.22.3 internal LRU corruption. With foyer 0.22.6, the immediate corruption is no longer observed, but the same workload still does not complete within the 30-second test timeout. The dependency bump therefore does not yet establish a complete fix for the issue.

This PR keeps the focused reproducer and the dependency bump on top of main; it does not change application cache logic.

Walkthrough

The change adds Arc support for shared test state and introduces a 32-worker stress test for concurrent disk-cache reads, upserts, and shutdown.

Changes

Cache concurrency testing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Multi-threaded disk-cache stress test
src/cache/hybrid.rs
The test populates a disk-backed cache, runs concurrent reads and upserts across 32 workers, and closes the cache after completion.

The regression test may miss the disk-cache corruption path it is intended to guard. Make disk writes and hits observable before relying on this test for the foyer reinsertion regression.

Remove raw multiline terminators from this cache test.

Lines 1009 and 1043 encode \r\n.\r\n outside MultilineFramer. This makes the cache test another owner of NNTP response termination rules. Build the fixture through a framing or protocol helper that owns multiline encoding.

As per coding guidelines, “Only src/session/multiline_framing.rs may know how NNTP multiline responses end.”

Also applies to: 1043-1043

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Prove that the workload reaches the disk tier.

WriteOnInsertion makes upsert_ingest schedule disk writes in the background, so the one-second sleep does not guarantee disk availability before workers start. Poll stats().disk_write_bytes or stats().disk_write_ios before starting workers, then assert stats().disk_hits > 0 before close() so the test exercises disk reinsertion.

Closing because the upstream foyer issue requires a concurrent remove path that nntp-proxy does not use, and the branch test's failure was caused by its undersized disk fixture rather than a production-path reproduction.
