…#19967) Fix crashes in execution_driver due to inability to execute transactions. -------- We must hold the lock for the object entry while inserting to the `object_by_id_cache`. Otherwise, a surprising bug can occur: 1. A thread executing TX1 can write object (O,1) to the dirty set and then pause. 2. TX2, which reads (O,1) can begin executing, because TransactionManager immediately schedules transactions if their inputs are available. It does not matter that TX1 hasn't finished executing yet. 3. TX2 can write (O,2) to both the dirty set and the object_by_id_cache. 4. The thread executing TX1 can resume and write (O,1) to the object_by_id_cache. Now, any subsequent attempt to get the latest version of O will return (O,1) instead of (O,2). This seems very unlikely, but it may be more likely under the following circumstances: - While a thread is unlikely to pause for so long, moka cache uses optimistic lock-free algorithms that have retry loops. Possibly, under high contention, this code might spin for a surprisingly long time. - Additionally, many concurrent re-executions of the same tx could happen due to the tx finalizer, plus checkpoint executor, consensus, and RPCs from fullnodes. Unfortunately I have not been able to reproduce this bug, so we cannot be sure that this fixes the crashes we've seen. But this is certainly a possible bug. ## Description Describe the changes or additions included in this PR. ## Test plan How did you test the new or updated feature? --- ## Release notes Check each box that your changes affect.
