This select statement seems like it will block until the ctx.Done() channel is closed and will never reach the call below. To get around that, either add a default case or check if the context is done in the for loop.
E.g.
for ctx.Err() == nil {
_ = mt.Client.NumberSessionsInProgress()
}

I'm a little concerned about the busy waiting here as it occupies the CPU while waiting. Will this be an issue?

TIL about the anti-pattern of busy-waiting, thanks 🧑🔧 . I modified the test to only run each operation 5 times and used a channel to sync the goroutines' execution as opposed to a context. Note that the test fails now only about 75% of the time when checkedOut is not atomically accessed (as opposed to closer to 95% of the time with the previous design). I think that's fine, though.

I think short busy-wait loops in tests that are trying to exercise a specific non-deterministic behavior are probably OK, but I do think the "run N times" loops are a good way to achieve that also. I left some suggestions about possible ways to further improve the reliability of the tests in my subsequent review.

@matthewdale thank you for catching that the test was not actually running the functions 😮💨 . Should be fixed now; I also used a |

@matthewdale thanks. Removed channel, increased iteration count to 100, and added a 100µs sleep. |

Fixes data race in
session.Poolby switchingcheckedOutfrom anintto an atomically-accessedint64. Adds a regression test for the data race.
