Issue #9664 has been reported by Rafał Michalski.

Bug #9664: cannot resume transferred Fiber even if it should resume
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9664

* Author: Rafał Michalski
* Status: Open
* Priority: High
* Assignee: 
* Category: 
* Target version: 
* ruby -v: 2.1.0 2.0.0-p353
* Backport: 2.0.0: UNKNOWN, 2.1: UNKNOWN
----------------------------------------
The simplified case:

~~~
root = Fiber.current
f = Fiber.new {
  puts 'transfer'
  root.transfer
  puts 'yield'
  Fiber.yield
  puts 'ok'
}
f.resume
f.transfer
f.resume
~~~

First we resume into a new fiber, then the fiber f transfers control back to root and then root transfers control back to f.
Then the fiber f yields back to root and when root tries to resume fiber f the unexpected error is raised.

In ruby MRI 1.9.(1-3) it works as expected and the result is:

transfer
yield
ok

However since MRI 2.0 we get:

~~~
transfer
yield
-:11:in `resume': cannot resume transferred Fiber (FiberError)
        from -:11:in `<main>'
~~~

In ruby #transfer docs one reads:
> The fiber which receives the transfer call is treats it much like a resume call. Arguments passed to transfer are treated like those passed to resume.
>
> You cannot resume a fiber that transferred control to another one. This will cause a double resume error. You need to transfer control back to this fiber before it can yield and resume.

But it looks like since 2.0 you can't yield and resume fiber after transfering control from or back to it.
This looks like if a fiber has ever transfered control with #transfer then it is somehow marked and resuming to it is no more possible.

This bug kills possibility to use e.g. fiber-synchronized async frameworks together with enumerators.
