  • There was a race condition tied to loading and then deleting a key without checking it hadn't changed

Pull Request Overview

This PR addresses a race condition in the cache-aside implementation by refactoring the lock mechanism to use context-based cancellation instead of simple channels. The changes improve robustness by ensuring locks are properly cleaned up and context cancellation is respected throughout the system.

  • Replaced simple channel-based locks with context-aware lock entries that auto-cancel after lockTTL
  • Added proper error handling and logging for lock cleanup operations
  • Fixed a bug in multi-key operations and improved context cancellation handling
