@mknyszek requested issue #60934 to be considered for backport to the next 1.19 minor release.

Thanks for the investigation and for sending a fix! That does look like a real problem to me.

I think this should probably be backported too, because although I imagine runtime.RaceDisable to be rare, this does cause some pretty serious false positives without any workaround.

@gopherbot please open backport issues for Go 1.20 and Go 1.19.

Approved as it is a serious issue without a workaround.

[release-branch.go1.19] runtime: set raceignore to zero when starting…
c4590af 
… a new goroutine

When reusing a g struct the runtime did not reset
g.raceignore. Initialize raceignore to zero when initially
setting racectx.

A goroutine can end with a non-zero raceignore if it exits
after calling runtime.RaceDisable without a matching
runtime.RaceEnable. If that goroutine's g is later reused
the race detector is in a weird state: the underlying
g.racectx is active, yet g.raceignore is non-zero, and
raceacquire/racerelease which check g.raceignore become
no-ops. This causes the race detector to report races when
there are none.

For #60934
Fixes #60948
