调研方向

Start with the inTransaction() check in src/lib/object_store/DB.cpp and transaction start logic in src/lib/object_store/DBObject.cpp, both linked in the issue. Trace how concurrent reads share the SQLite connection and inspect the related transaction tests. Done means simultaneous read operations no longer fail with “cannot start a transaction within a transaction” and existing transaction behavior remains correct.

描述

When performing multiple simultaneous read operations (e.g., from different threads) using the SQLite backend, the following error occurs:

SQLITE3: cannot start a transaction within a transaction (1)
Steps to Reproduce
  1. Open multiple threads or sessions that execute read operations (e.g., enumerate objects, get token info) concurrently against the same token/slot.
  2. Observe backend logs or error output when these operations overlap in time.
Expected Behavior

Concurrent read operations (which start read-only SQLite transactions) should be able to called from concurrent threads without errors when using a shared database connection in SQLITE_OPEN_FULLMUTEX mode.

Actual Behavior

The backend emits the error:

SQLITE3: cannot start a transaction within a transaction (1)

and one or more read operations fails. Specifically, this happens when reading multiple objects from the same slot/token simultaneously from multiple backend application threads.

Details

Each read operation attempts to start a new read-only transaction (BEGIN) on the same underlying sqlite3* connection. But the two concurrent reads can race: both can pass the DBObject inTransaction() check, then both attempt to start a transaction (Time of Check/Time of Use), but SQLite only allows a single active transaction per connection, causing the second BEGIN to fail.
