When compiling drivers on Windows, instances have been seen where a temporary directory fails to get cleaned up due to ERROR_SHARING_VIOLATION (32).
This issue was not seen on operating systems other than Windows. This patch eliminates the use of tempfile.TemporaryDirectory, which was triggering the issue. For completeness, the error message is included below. --- stderr --- Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.13_3.13.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\Lib\shutil.py", line 631, in _rmtree_unsafe os.rmdir(path) ~~~~~~~~^^^^^^ PermissionError: [WinError 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: 'V:\\github\\dpdk15\\dpdk\\build\\buildtools\\tmpnrqvi9nc' During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.13_3.13.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\Lib\tempfile.py", line 909, in onexc _os.unlink(path) ~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^ PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied: 'V:\\github\\dpdk15\\dpdk\\build\\buildtools\\tmpnrqvi9nc' During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "V:\github\dpdk15\dpdk\buildtools\gen-pmdinfo-cfile.py", line 13, in <module> with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory(dir=tmp_root) as temp: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.13_3.13.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\Lib\tempfile.py", line 950, in __exit__ self.cleanup() ~~~~~~~~~~~~^^ File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.13_3.13.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\Lib\tempfile.py", line 954, in cleanup self._rmtree(self.name, ignore_errors=self._ignore_cleanup_errors) ~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.13_3.13.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\Lib\tempfile.py", line 934, in _rmtree _shutil.rmtree(name, onexc=onexc) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.13_3.13.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\Lib\shutil.py", line 790, in rmtree return _rmtree_unsafe(path, onexc) File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.13_3.13.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\Lib\shutil.py", line 635, in _rmtree_unsafe onexc(os.rmdir, path, err) ~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.13_3.13.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\Lib\tempfile.py", line 924, in onexc cls._rmtree(path, ignore_errors=ignore_errors, ~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ repeated=(path == name)) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.13_3.13.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\Lib\tempfile.py", line 934, in _rmtree _shutil.rmtree(name, onexc=onexc) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.13_3.13.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\Lib\shutil.py", line 790, in rmtree return _rmtree_unsafe(path, onexc) File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.13_3.13.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\Lib\shutil.py", line 635, in _rmtree_unsafe onexc(os.rmdir, path, err) ~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.13_3.13.1008.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\Lib\shutil.py", line 631, in _rmtree_unsafe os.rmdir(path) ~~~~~~~~^^^^^^ PermissionError: [WinError 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: 'V:\\github\\dpdk15\\dpdk\\build\\buildtools\\tmpnrqvi9nc' [53/450] Compiling C object lib/librte_pcapng.a.p/pcapng_rte_pcapng.c.obj ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed. v3: - removed parameter tmp_root from gen-pmdinfo-cfile.py - modified gen-pmdinfo-cfile.py to create '@PRIVATE_DIR@' when it does not exist. v2: - removed use of Python's tempfile.TemporaryDirectory and used '@PRIVATE_DIR@' in meson's custom_target command instead.
