This is from a question I posted on stack overflow a few months ago so there is more discussion there about how I came across it.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64159779/rust-stdtimeinstant-panicked-at-supplied-instant-is-later-than-self

I tried this code:

#[derive(Clone, Debug)]
pub struct IntervalTimer {
    pub period: Duration,
    pub delta: Instant,
}

impl IntervalTimer {
    pub fn new(period: Duration) -> Self {
        let delta = Instant::now();
        Self { period, delta }
    }

    /// Returns true if the interval between calls has exceeded the period
    pub fn ready(&mut self) -> bool {
        if self.delta.elapsed() < self.period {
            false
        } else {
            self.delta = self.delta + self.period;
            true
        }
    }
}

fn main() {
    let duration = Duration::from_secs(3600);

    let mut timers: Vec<IntervalTimer> = (0..100)
        .map(|_| IntervalTimer::new(Duration::from_millis(10)))
        .collect();

    let start = Instant::now();
    while start.elapsed() < duration {
        timers.par_iter_mut().for_each(|timer| {
            let _i = timer.ready();
        });
    }
}

This seems to consistently panic with the error "supplied instant is later than self” when the ready method is called from with rayon. This is presumably the > comparison calling the Instant::duration_since() method https://doc.rust-lang.org/src/std/time.rs.html#281.
I'm not sure what the root cause is but the stack overflow post has some possibilities.

I found this issue with a similar problem but it relates to using an unusual kernel. I'm just using Ubuntu 18.04 with nothing unusual set up.

https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/59673

I've tried multiple machines but the same error occurs with the code.

Meta

rustc --version --verbose

Sorry, I found this a while ago so don't know the exact version but it was around 1.39.0

I tried reproducing it: https://gist.github.com/07ceec72e0bfec67ab4a61d143bccee2

The panic doesn't trigger for me on NixOS 20.09, including in an ubuntu:bionic Docker container.

On linux the correctness of CLOCK_MONOTONIC depends on the kernel, firmware updates and the CPU to do the right thing. And decisions can be overriden with manual clock source configuration. Running in docker won't replace your kernel or load older firmware images, so it doesn't help with testing.

18.04 is pretty old, so it might be lacking some updates or workarounds for your particular CPU. So if the automatic detection isn't working due to that you can change to a more reliable clock source.

I updated the example to include a main function that would match roughly the real surrounding code. I suspect the rayon component doesn't do much other than multiply the probability. When I was encountering this issue it was only after multiple hours of runtime but it was happening consistently. I'll see if I can get it to happen again (I have since added a workaround based on the answers in the stackoverflow post) and if I can i'll see if its reproducible on 20.04.

I ran the test code for multiple hours and I wasn't able to reproduce the original behaviour. I think this can be closed as not reproducible and assumed to be something a kernel update etc fixed.
