Fixes: #101150

Also useful to investigate failures like: #102919

  • Speed up GC stress with GCSTRESS_INSTR_JIT
  • Disable GC stress when WaitForPendingFinalizers is in progress
  • Do not initiate GC stress when thread is in preemptive mode

// Under GC stress the finalizer queue may never go empty as frequent
// GCs will keep filling up the queue with items.
// We will disable GC stress to make sure the current thread is not permanently blocked on that.

InhibitHolder increments global counter without using Interlocked. We may want to fix to avoid race conditions that can make this inhibit holder ineffective intermittently and cause hangs.

I did not realize that. This is dangerous and may be already causing some rare failures in stress.

I am not sure I have seen before that this can break the build.

Maybe the other case is included somewhere that is built with more strict rules.

My guess is that this does not complain because DWORD is typedef, so it is a potentially complex type where the local variable may be impactful ... until some compiler decides to warn for this case too.

I would not hurt to change this one to the make-compiler-happy pattern.

We may have quite a few of these. Fixed this one.
