metatech updated FELIX-3067:
----------------------------
Attachment: felix_unblock_deadlock_v2.patch
For users stuck on Felix 3.2.* (eg ServiceMix 4.x and 5.x users), here is a
slightly modified version of the patch, handling the case where the time to
wait has to be strictly positive.
> Prevent Deadlock Situation in Felix.acquireGlobalLock
> -----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FELIX-3067
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-3067
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Framework
> Affects Versions: framework-3.0.7, framework-3.0.8, framework-3.0.9,
> framework-3.2.0, framework-3.2.1, fileinstall-3.1.10
> Reporter: Felix Meschberger
> Attachments: FELIX-3067-sling.patch, FELIX-3067.patch,

>
> Every now and then we encounter deadlock situations which involve the
> Felix.acquireGlobalLock method. In our use case we have the following aspects
> which contribute to this:
> (a) The Apache Felix Declarative Services implementation stops components
> (and thus causes service unregistration) while the bundle lock is being held
> because this happens in a SynchronousBundleListener while handling the
> STOPPING bundle event. We have to do this to ensure the bundle is not really
> stopped yet to properly stop the bundle's components.
> (b) Implementing a special class loader which involves dynamically resolving
> packages which in turn uses the global lock
> (c) Eclipse Gemini Blueprint implementation which operates asynchronously
> (d) synchronization in application classes
> Often times, I would assume that we can self-heal such complex deadlck
> situations, if we let acquireGlobalLock time out. Looking at the calles of
> acquireGlobalLock there seems to already be provision to handle this case
> since acquireGlobalLock returns true only if the global lock has actually
> been acquired.
> This issue is kind of a companion to FELIX-3000 where deadlocks involve
> sending service registration events while holding the bundle lock.
