I have narrowed this down quite a lot. This bug is caused by the same Http11Processor being pushed on to the recycledProcessors stack twice. I discovered this by add a duplicates check in recycledProcessors.push()
@SuppressWarnings("sync-override") // Size may exceed cache size a bit public boolean push(Processor processor, String source) { int cacheSize = handler.getProtocol().getProcessorCache(); boolean offer = cacheSize == -1 ? true : size.get() < cacheSize; //avoid over growing our cache or add after we have stopped boolean result = false; if (offer) { + synchronized (this) + { + for (int i=0 ; i<=index ; i++) + assert processor != stack[i]; result = super.push(processor); + } if (result) { size.incrementAndGet(); } } if (!result) handler.unregister(processor); return result; } A bit more hacking showed that the processor would be pushed first via ConnectionHandler.release(*SocketWrapperBase*) called from Pooler.cancelledKey() (NOTE: AbstractProtocolJava line numbers don't line up with 8.5.8 because of debug code) at org.apache.coyote.AbstractProtocol$RecycledProcessors.push(AbstractProtocol.java:1116) at org.apache.coyote.AbstractProtocol$ConnectionHandler.release(AbstractProtocol.java:1002) at org.apache.coyote.AbstractProtocol$ConnectionHandler.release(AbstractProtocol.java:1016) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.NioEndpoint$Poller.cancelledKey(NioEndpoint.java:730) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.NioEndpoint$Poller.processSendfile(NioEndpoint.java:966) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.NioEndpoint$NioSocketWrapper.processSendfile(NioEndpoint.java:1305) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.breakKeepAliveLoop(Http11Processor.java:1611) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Processor.service(Http11Processor.java:852) at org.apache.coyote.AbstractProcessorLight.process(AbstractProcessorLight.java:66) at org.apache.coyote.AbstractProtocol$ConnectionHandler.process(AbstractProtocol.java:806) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.NioEndpoint$SocketProcessor.doRun(NioEndpoint.java:1455) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.SocketProcessorBase.run(SocketProcessorBase.java:49) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1142) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:617) at org.apache.tomcat.util.threads.TaskThread$WrappingRunnable.run(TaskThread.java:61) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) The second push of the same processor happens via the "normal" ConnectionHandler.release(*Processor*) called from ConnectionHandler.process() at org.apache.coyote.AbstractProtocol$ConnectionHandler.release(AbstractProtocol.java:1002) at org.apache.coyote.AbstractProtocol$ConnectionHandler.process(AbstractProtocol.java:927) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.NioEndpoint$SocketProcessor.doRun(NioEndpoint.java:1455) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.SocketProcessorBase.run(SocketProcessorBase.java:49) - locked <0x62c2> (a org.apache.tomcat.util.net.NioEndpoint$NioSocketWrapper) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1142) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:617) at org.apache.tomcat.util.threads.TaskThread$WrappingRunnable.run(TaskThread.java:61) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:745) I don't know understand the whole processSendFile() and state=SENDFILE logic. One suspicious thing comparing the two stack traces is that ConnectionHandler.process() does not check the return result from connections.remove(). Maybe a) ConnectionHandler.process() should only call release(processor) if the connections.remove(socket)==processor? or b) release(socket) shouldn't call recycledProcessors.push()?
