This PR addresses a test failure for
`tests.handlers.test_worker_lock.WorkerLockTestCase.test_lock_contention`
which consistently times out on the RISC-V (specifically `riscv64`)
architecture.
The test simulates high lock contention and has a default timeout of 5
seconds, which seems sufficient for architectures like x86_64 but proves
too short for current RISC-V hardware/environment performance
characteristics, leading to spurious `tests.utils.TestTimeout` failures.
This fix introduces architecture detection using `platform.machine()`.
If a RISC-V architecture is detected:
* The timeout for this specific test is increased (e.g., to 15 seconds
).
The original, stricter timeout (5 seconds) and lock count (500) are
maintained for all other architectures to avoid masking potential
performance regressions elsewhere.
This change has been tested locally on RISC-V, where the test now passes
reliably, and on x86_64, where it continues to pass with the original
constraints.
