            Bug ID: 28249
           Summary: httpd-buildid-after-you gadget locks on wrong url
           Product: elfutils
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: debuginfod
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: fche at redhat dot com
                CC: elfutils-devel at sourceware dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

bug #27673 added a "after-you" waiting system into debuginfod, which is
intended to prevent the server from trying to service multiple concurrent
requests for the exact same debuginfo artifact.  This saves wear & tear & time,
as the non-first queries can use the fdcache to fish out the result, rather
than decompressing etc. again.

Unfortunately, the code has a one-liner bug.  It uses the string "/buildid" as
the unique key, not the whole URL, so it in effect limits debuginfod to
servicing exactly one buildid request at a time, which was not intentional.

02144           unique_set_reserver<string> after_you(busy_urls, url1);         

url1 is the wrong key. :-(
