[New-bugs-announce] [issue37650] TemporaryDirectory objects should LOCK_SH to avoid being deleted by systemd-tmpfiles

[Ryan Gonzalez]

New submission from Ryan Gonzalez <rymg19 at gmail.com>:

If e.g. a tar archive is extracted that has dates from several months ago, if systemd-tmpfiles runs to clean up data, then it may delete that data while the directory is still being used. This can be avoided by holding a LOCK_SH on the directory while it's being used.
