Jing Zhao commented on HDFS-3860:
---------------------------------
I just checked all the invocation of namesystem#writelock / writeunlock, and
did not find similar problems. I will check other similar code too.
> HeartbeatManager#Monitor may wrongly hold the writelock of namesystem

> Key: HDFS-3860
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-3860
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Reporter: Jing Zhao
> Assignee: Jing Zhao
> Fix For: 2.2.0-alpha
>
> Attachments: HDFS-3860.patch, HDFS-heartbeat-testcase.patch
>
>
> In HeartbeatManager#heartbeatCheck, if some dead datanode is found, the
> monitor thread will acquire the write lock of namesystem, and recheck the
> safemode. If it is in safemode, the monitor thread will return from the
> heartbeatCheck function without release the write lock. This may cause the
> monitor thread wrongly holding the write lock forever.
> The attached test case tries to simulate this bad scenario.
