[issue29797] Deadlock with multiprocessing.Queue()

[Eryk Sun]

Eryk Sun added the comment:

On Windows the "QueueFeederThread" in each child process is blocked in WaitForMultipleObjects in PipeConnection._send_bytes. The pipe buffer size is 8 KiB, and each pickled int is 5-6 bytes. With 2 processes the pipe is full after sending (256 + 469) * 2 == 1450 int objects. Joining this feeder thread waits until all of the data is sent, however long that takes. This appears to be working correctly as designed.
