refactor: use global lock for rate limit ops by steveiliop56 · Pull Request #1197 · tinyauthapp/tinyauth

steveiliop56 · 2026-10-16T20:02:13Z

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Account-lock checks and login-attempt tracking are more consistent across password, TOTP, and basic-auth sign-ins.
- Sign-in attempts for the same account are processed in sequence, helping prevent conflicting lockout decisions.
- Login-attempt records now expire after the configured timeout, reducing the chance that outdated attempts affect later sign-ins.
Updates
- Login rate limiting applies when both the retry limit and timeout are set to positive values.

📝 Walkthrough

Login, TOTP, and basic-auth flows now check account locks and update login attempts inside per-identifier cache-lock callbacks. Login-attempt entries expire after the configured timeout.

Changes: Login attempt handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Per-key cache locking `pkg/cache/cache_store.go`, `pkg/cache/cache_store_test.go`	`CacheStore` adds keyed mutexes and `WithKeyedLock`, which supplies cache actions during a callback. Tests cover concurrent keyed operations.
Login-attempt cache operations `internal/service/auth_service.go`	`IsAccountLocked` and `RecordLoginAttempt` use caller-provided cache actions. `WithLoginAttempt` runs callbacks under the keyed lock. Attempt entries expire after `LoginTimeout` seconds, and rate limiting requires positive retry and timeout settings. The whitelist empty-filter check now uses `errors.Is`.
Login, TOTP, and basic authentication `internal/controller/user_controller.go`, `internal/middleware/context_middleware.go`	Login and TOTP handlers, and `basicAuth`, run lock checks and attempt updates inside `WithLoginAttempt` callbacks. Existing applicable responses remain. TOTP session creation occurs after the callback returns without error. `basicAuth` checks TOTP eligibility inside the callback and retains the missing-user dummy password check.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to cacae

Authentication for different identifiers is no longer serialized by one lock, and the inspected basic-auth path preserves the expected attempt handling. The change is mergeable after normal checks.

Check name	Status	Explanation	Resolution
Title check		The title refers to the rate-limit locking refactor, but it incorrectly describes a global lock. The implementation adds per-identifier keyed locking through WithLoginAttempt.	Replace the title with a description of keyed or per-identifier locking, such as "refactor: serialize rate limit operations per identifier".
Docstring Coverage		Docstring coverage is 33.33% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 3 functions across 5 files.	Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

path unchanged.

Review comments at @pkg/cache/cache_store.go:
- Around line 61-73: Update WithKeyedLock so callbacks for different keys cannot
concurrently mutate shared cache state: remove the read lock held across the
callback, retain per-key locking, and wrap each action to acquire cs.mu for its
operation, using an exclusive lock for Get because it may remove expired
entries. Add a race-detector test that invokes WithKeyedLock concurrently with
distinct keys and calls Set in each callback.
