gorilla-websocket-concurrent-setwritedeadline-race
Solution written to ~/gorilla-websocket-concurrent-setwritedeadline-race.md.
Diagnosis (confirmed by reproduction): The repo dexdat/hivemind is private/unavailable, so I reconstructed the exact pattern and verified it against gorilla/websocket v1.5.3 with Go 1.26's race detector.
Root cause: gorilla/websocket.Conn.SetWriteDeadline is a plain unprotected store to c.writeDeadline (conn.go:788), and messageWriter.flushFrame reads that field during WriteMessage (conn.go:621). hivemind serializes writes with a shared writeMu, but PeerConnection.Send called SetWriteDeadline before taking the lock, while serverConn.writeMsg held the lock across its own SetWriteDeadline+WriteMessage. Since deadline mutation is part of write state, it must be inside the critical section.
Fix: Move SetWriteDeadline inside the same writeMu window that guards WriteMessage in dialer.go, then audit every SetWriteDeadline call site on shared conns.
Verification performed:
- Minimal httptest + websocket repro mirroring Send vs writeMsg.
- Pre-fix: WARNING: DATA RACE at SetWriteDeadline (write/write) and flushFrame (read/write) → FAIL.
- Post-fix: go test -race -count=3 -run TestSendRace . → ok in 1.042s.
