Objective
Fix UB detected by Miri when running the multi-threaded executor. It intermittently fails with:
The issue is that
system_completed()callsself.tick_executor();, which spawns new tasks. It may spawn a task to executeapply_deferred, which will create a&mutto systems with unapplied buffers. If that task is scheduled beforesystem_completed()completes, then that&mutwill invalidate the&ScheduleSystemparameter while it's strongly protected.Solution
Pass the
&SyncUnsafeCell<SystemWithAccess>around directly, and only convert it to a&mut SystemWithAccesswhen it is used. This ensures that all references have ended before the call totick_executor(). The conversion just reinterprets the pointers and has no runtime effect, so doing it at different times should not affect performance.
