release-21.2: sqlliveness: session expiry callbacks must be async #71433

Backport 1/1 commits from #71419.

/cc @cockroachdb/release


Previously, the sqlliveness session expiry callbacks were called in the
heartbeatLoop thread which executed the renew/expiry logic. This could
cause deadlock since session expiration is used to trigger a shutdown of
the SQL instance via stopper.Stop(). The stopper would wait for all
async tasks to quiesce, but the heartbeatLoop would continue, waiting
for the callbacks to finish running. In addition, this task would hold a
lock on l.mu while waiting for the callbacks to run causing other
threads to wait if they needed to retrieve the session.

This change invokes each callback in its own goroutine to prevent this
deadlock.

Resolves #71292

Release note: None

Thanks for opening a backport.

Please check the backport criteria before merging:

  • Patches should only be created for serious issues.
  • Patches should not break backwards-compatibility.
  • Patches should change as little code as possible.
  • Patches should not change on-disk formats or node communication protocols.
  • Patches should not add new functionality.
  • Patches must not add, edit, or otherwise modify cluster versions; or add version gates.
If some of the basic criteria cannot be satisfied, ensure that the exceptional criteria are satisfied within.
  • There is a high priority need for the functionality that cannot wait until the next release and is difficult to address in another way.
  • The new functionality is additive-only and only runs for clusters which have specifically “opted in” to it (e.g. by a cluster setting).
  • New code is protected by a conditional check that is trivial to verify and ensures that it only runs for opt-in clusters.
  • The PM and TL on the team that owns the changed code have signed off that the change obeys the above rules.

Add a brief release justification to the body of your PR to justify this backport.

Some other things to consider:

  • What did we do to ensure that a user that doesn’t know & care about this backport, has no idea that it happened?
  • Will this work in a cluster of mixed patch versions? Did we test that?
  • If a user upgrades a patch version, uses this feature, and then downgrades, what happens?
