BEAM freeze due to persistent_term usage #8917

backtrace of one coredump |

Three threads in This looks like it could be the same as #8613 fixed by #8627 released in OTP-26.2.5.2 (e176896). |

It should be possible to confirm. Inlined function Print |

hmmm the 3 thread are at different position: disassemble |

Describe the bug
We sometimes see an issue that the beam is almost non-responsive (cannot make new dist connection, no logs, many gen_server is not replying, but connected socket can be progressing).
We captured a crashdump and a coredump.
In crashdump, we see only 3 processes running: two of them doing prim_socket:nif_recv, hundreds of processes scheduled, including many tls_sender processes pending to send data. It is a 72 core machine so most schedulers are idle (even though most are with non-zero run-queue len).
What we observe is that there is also hundreds of suspended processes. Almost all of them are doing persistent_term:put/get, where most are from OTP logger (get in logger_config:get_module_level(ssl), or put in logger_olp:set_mode).
I checked the persistent_term table, there is tens of {logger_config, MODULE} keys but not that many.
One suspicious thing is that we also see a suspended code_server stuck at code_server:try_finish_module_2/6 + 244 where next message is {get_object_code_for_loading,sasl_report}.
In coredump I did a scan and see 757 processes in suspended state. I picked a random suspended process and trace up to find who suspended it and see it is again a registered logger process. The etp command is too old and not able to print the current stacktrace, but I believe it is a persistent_term:put.
There are few guesses I have:
It would be great if I can get some help, or if there is any information that we can get from coredump I can try, thanks!
To Reproduce
It is really hard to reproduce because it happens rarely, we will wait and see if we can get more information from new frozen instances.
