Jeroen Daanen commented on FELIX-5471:
--------------------------------------
Yes we are stopping components while some other components are starting
concurrently.
For instance, we use the dependency manager to create services as being
configured by an end user. So a configuration change may trigger the removal
services, which will be replaced by other or new services. On top of that we
have services launching other services, which are being required/used in other
services.
> Ensure that unbound services are always handled synchronously

> Key: FELIX-5471
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-5471
> Project: Felix
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Dependency Manager
> Affects Versions: org.apache.felix.dependencymanager-r1
> Reporter: Pierre De Rop
> Assignee: Pierre De Rop
> Fix For: org.apache.felix.dependencymanager-r9
>
>
> When a component loses a service dependency, it should handle the lost
> service synchronously. For example, if service A loses a dependency on B
> (because B is being unregistered), then A.remove(B) should be called
> synchronously (when B is being unregistered from the service registry), else
> the A.remove(B) callback could possibly be invoked while B is already
> unregistered and stopped.
> Currently, unbound services may be handled asynchronously if DM is used in a
> concurrent mode (using a threadpool). And even if no threadpool is used, the
> issue may happen if there is a highly concurrent situation where services are
> registered/removed concurrently from multiple threads.
> So, a patch should be done in order to ensure that a service dependency
> remove event is always handled synchronously (especially if DM is used with a
> threadpool).
> I will provide a testcase soon.
