A small static helper that returns the raw id under an already-held read lock would keep both paths in sync if the key layout changes later.The locking and the no-reference semantics are correct:
uuidmap_free()removes theuuid_to_idkey and transitions the refcount inside the same write-lock section, so a reader under the partition read lock cannot observe an id whose entry is already claimed for deletion.♻️ Optional extraction

If

Pull request overview
This PR optimizes UUID-based metric lookups in the DBEngine MRG by adding a non-owning UUID→ID lookup (uuidmap_peek_id()) and using it instead of uuidmap_create()/uuidmap_free() pairs, reducing uuidmap mutations and write-lock contention during lookups and MRG population. It also expands unit tests to validate the non-owning lookup contract and the “stale ID can only miss, never alias” safety property under both deterministic and concurrent conditions.
Changes:
- Add
uuidmap_peek_id()for non-owning UUID→ID lookups and refactor internal uuidmap lookup code to support it. - Switch
mrg_metric_get_and_acquire_by_uuid()to useuuidmap_peek_id()to avoid create/free churn and uuidmap write-lock contention. - Add/extend uuidmap + MRG unit tests to validate safety and concurrency behavior; run
mrg_unittest()as part of the full unit-test suite when DBEngine is enabled.
