PidfdChildWatcher runs callbacks on the main thread eventloop and not the currently running loop #94182
Description
Activity
Wasn't this fixed by #94593?
The purpose of os.open_pidfd is to allow a single event loop running in any thread to monitor processes without needing to interact with another event loop or thread. The pidfdchildwatcher is currently unnecessarily using another loop in another thread
@kumaraditya303 I can demonstrate that the issue is still not resolved by using
5647edb(#94184) - I updated the description to clarify this- added a commit that references this issue
on Oct 8, 2022 Thanks for the fix!
I don't think we should backport this (not even to 3.11.1).

on Oct 8, 2022 This test fails if run separately. See #109862.
as of #93896 and #94593 asyncio.Runner(loop_factory=asyncio.new_event_loop) no longer calls
asyncio.set_event_loop()and so the PidfdChildWatcher is never activatedthis is unfortunate because it could run
asyncio.get_running_loop().add_readerinstead
