What did you do?

Because of model.ChangeFeedID is non-unique, owner and process has no way to
find out whether they are running the same changefeed. After appling delete and
create operation on the same changefeed name, there is a race condition between
owner and processor that they are running two different changefeeds. This may
cause deadlock and data loss.

To fix the issue, we should make sure:

  1. When owner receives a delete changefeed request, it can only return a
    response after the changefeed is closed completely on every TiCDC node. It
    prevents data loss.
  2. Add a unique field to model.ChangeFeed. It prevents deadlock and other
    illegal states.

What did you expect to see?

No deadlock and no data loss.

What did you see instead?

Changefeed is a deadlock state, and lag is increasing.

This issue has not been fixed, #7730 is a workaround that only mitigates the issue.

Find a similar case, restart changefeed in a very short period. Owner may see processor's state pre-restart changefeed.
