Problem Summary:
During shutdown,
stop_and_join()sets_stop = true, sets_nearest_run_time = 0, and callsfutex_wake_private()to wake up the timer thread. However, due to a race condition, the timer thread may:_stop == falseand enter the loop._mutexwhilestop_and_join()holds it.stop_and_join()releases the mutex, the timer thread acquires it and sets_nearest_run_time = int64_max, overwriting the earlier_nearest_run_time = 0.stop_and_join()calledfutex_wake_private(), the timer thread had not yet entered futex wait.As a result, after finishing all remaining tasks, the timer thread may enter futex wait with no further wake-up, causing the program to hang on
