Description

steps:
1, run suricata in multi tenants mode
2, use suricatasc to send a command "register-tenant 2 /etc/suricata/tenant2.yaml"

result:

The command does not return, and check the stack using pstack:

All the information is below. However, they may not related to the issue. I reviewed the codes, and it may be caused by the global key words feature(https://github.com/OISF/suricata/commit/cf9678d926f4e09d962ac1dee1cd808786ccf8cb#diff-67cc0d1f93fb61787a55c2de59cbf89f). It imported a lock for master->lock in DetectEngineThreadCtxInitGlobalKeywords. My suggestion is to set the master->lock as a recursive lock.

I tested and can confirm the crash is fixed

The dead lock has gone, but I am afraid that other issues may be caused by simply removing the lock. The global keyword list is also updated when execute register-tenant command to register a new tenant, but at the same time it may be used by the detect engine. The safer way I think is to make the lock recursive.

The only function updating those fields is DetectRegisterThreadCtxGlobalFuncs, and that is only called at keyword registration. This is when suricata starts up and is completely single threaded. All further access is read only.
