This pull request fixes an issue with frequent messages. As far as I understand, spin_some only processes the oldest messages in the queue. So when a message for a particular subscriber arrives more frequently than the update rate of rviz, then the queue gets longer and longer. See ros2/rclcpp#1156 for comparison between spin_some and spin_all.

I am not sure whether spin_all introduces disadvantages in some cases compared to spin_some...

Maybe @ivanpauno and @roger-strain have some opinions on this, as they proposed ros2/rclcpp#1156.

HI @ivanpauno and @roger-strain,

In all honesty, the changes and discussion around this were so long ago that I'm not in that headspace anymore, so I'm not sure I can contribute any valuable feedback at this point, especially within the context of rviz.
